In The Beginning Part 1
Chapter 1: Exploring the Dream World
Previous ChapterNext ChapterNow that Twilight has managed to get a handle on the spell, she can roam around in her own dreams, thoughts and of course her nightmares. As she's exploring around in her own dream version of Ponyville, she notices that everything is the same as they are everyday whenever she's awake. "Oh my, everything pretty much looks the same; the library, the Carousel Boutique, Sugar Cube Corner, even Sweet Apple Acres. Basically the whole town is exactly how it is in reality."
She was walking around Ponyville, everypony said hi to her, she said hi back, she was rather excited that she successfully completed the spell. "Oh geez, this is so awesome! This is definitely a proud moment for me!" Later, she saw her friends, she said hi to each and every one of them, pretty much things were going great. However, the only differences is that when she's walking around Ponyville, she's re-living her previous memories and the environment has a bit of magic added to it. She continues to travel around the whole town, everything seemed peaceful, not one thing out of place, it's exactly as she remembers it. Then, she starts to explore to her most favorite dreams, as she was thinking about going to her favorite dreams, a door popped up from right in front of her.
"Huh, what? Did that door just... appeared from nowhere?" Questioned a momentarily confused Twilight.
She went to the door to get a closer look, it looked an old-fashioned door, then she opens that door and goes right on in, inside the door was a corridor of book shelves, and not only is she organized in the real world, she's also organized whenever it comes to her dreams. Every fantasy, memory, ideas, and nightmares are all written in alphabetical categories, and each book contains a lot of pages of her life.
"Whoa, I can't believe how organized my thoughts are. This is way to bizarre, but no matter... this I don't seem to mind."
So as she tried to grab a book and look into it, the pictures and words all seem very... vivid, as if she's actually living in the moment. She was fascinated of all the dreams that she had written in her books that she read some of them just to relive what she had done and gone through, after that, she was finished for the day. So she tries to go back to the real world, but the problem was, she didn't know how to. So as she was thinking of a way to get back, another door popped up from nowhere. She turned around and it was the same door as before, so she walks towards the door, opens it and the door just went on in... hoping that it would take her home. Then as she was going in through the door, out of nowhere... she stumbles into a corridor filled with doors, doors that looked liked they could lead to other pony's dreams because of the names written on the doors.
Whoa... ...this doesn't look like home to me. Twilight was a little afraid to see this hallway at first, but then she starts to get a little curious about all the dream doors. "These doors, they all have the names of everypony I know. These doors even have; Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. Hmm...."
And even though Twilight said to Spike exactly that she was only going to see her own dreams, with a smirky grin on her face, she couldn't help but be curious but to explore somepony else's dreams, just to see what they do dream about when their asleep. So the first dream door that Twilight went to go to, was Pinkie Pie's dream door, she was rather curious about what goes on in Pinkie's head whenever she's her crazy, bubbly, random self. So she opened the door and went straight inside to the mind of Pinkie Pie, while inside, she notices that things are a bit different; the skies are pink, the clouds are replaced with balloons forming clouds, almost everything is made out of sweets, there's a lot of loud party music and almost everything has a face and they say hello to Pinkie Pie when she walks by. Twilight meets with Pinkie Pie and they say hello to each other; "Hey Pinkie, so... this is what your dream world looks like?" Then Pinkie asks Twilight what she's been up to, then Twilight tells Pinkie about the new spell that she just now learned; "Well, Pinkie, I've learn this new spell that I have just discovered. This spell cant let me see through the dreams of everypony, including myself."
"Whoa, that's pretty impressive, Twilight! So, you can jump into anypony's dreams just like that? Quick! Tell me what I'm dreaming about right now."
After that, there was a three second silence and then Twilight tells Pinkie that if this is all she dreams about, Pinkie replied; "Not very often. Sometimes, it's raining streamers! I mean, how fun is that?" After that, Twi tells Pinkie Pie that she needs to get going back into her own dream. "Okeydokey Lokey! Well, I'm glad you stopped by. Say hi to the others for me and have a fun day!" And even though in reality it's was night time, things are incredibly different in the dream world. So as Twilight left Pinkie's dream door, she decides to go back to her own dream world and just dream away, but after that wild experience she had while in Pinkie's dream, she decides to explore another pony's dreams. So the next dream door to go to was... you guessed it, Applejacks. She was walking around the corridor to find Applejack's dream door, then after three and a half minutes of looking, she was rather exhausted, but she finally found AJ's door and went on inside.
Meanwhile, back in the real world... Spike was still anxious about Twilight being in a stand still in the middle of the night, so he grabs her and takes her back to her room and put her to bed while she's exploring in the dream world, leaving him to question;
"Geez, how long does it take to look around in your own dreams? I mean, seriously."
Afterwards, she got Twilight on the bed, tucked her in and hoped that Twilight will be awake in the morning. Then after that, Spike took the dream-scape spell as an opportunity for him to sneak out of the house/library, only to leave Ponyville and find McAllister's hut so that he can ask him some questions. So he grabs a few things to take with him, went upstairs to check on Twilight to see if she was okay, which of course she was, and then Spike grabs his stuff and heads out. As he was walking about Ponyville in the middle of the night, he notices that there were a few guard ponies patrolling the area. Basically, it won't be easy to sneak out, and he can't come up with an excuse for them about why he's leaving Ponyville in the middle of the night, so he tries to do his best to sneak out, without making any noises of any kind and trying to not get caught in the spotlights. As he was sneaking out, right when he wasn't looking, he trips on a rock and started to fall down to the ground. Then he got back up, and noticed a spider right on his chest, then he started yelling out:
"Yeeeaaah! Spider, get it off me!"
and then he started get on the ground and roll left and right to get the spider off, but of course, he could have just flicked the spider off, but that's spike for ya. After the rolling and the yelling, the guards started to hear his screaming from a short distance, so they headed out what the commotion was about. Spike then got back up, and what's worse, he started hearing hooves beating from a distance, then he turned around and saw the guards headed his way, and then he grabs his things and starts to make a break for it. He was running so very fast, but the guards were running faster, then as Spike ran across the mini-bridge, he spots a few extra guards running towards him in a different direction. So as two groups of guards were headed to Spike, he goes under the bridge and hide until the guards leave. The guards finally made it up to the bridge, and all they found was nothing at all, and then they just went back to their stations.
After that, Spike said; "Phew, that was close." and proceeded on sneaking out of Ponyville.
Now then, back to Twilight... Twilight was just visiting Applejack's dream and already, she and Applejack were having a really good conversation while they were doing some work around the farm. Then after the conversation, Applejack's parents come out and tell her that it's time for dinner, then Applejack tries to introduce Twilight to her parents. They made their introductions, said their hellos and after that, Applejack asks Twilight that if she wanted to stay for dinner, but Twilight declined and told her that she needs to get back to her own dream. But before she could leave, she tells Applejack;
"You know Applejack, I've come to Sweet Apple Acres almost all the time to help out around and I've know every one of your relatives, but never your mother and father."
Then Applejack tells Twilight, that like her aunt and uncle Orange, her parents are also a couple of city folk who like to live in high standard society, and that one of these days... she wishes that they would stay with her in the farm and with the rest of the family. Then AJ walked back inside the house and as for Twilight, she finally heads out to the dream corridor to find another dream door to go to. So, to make this short, she's been visiting the rest of her friends' dreams, she and Rarity were in Canterlot, in a fashion show, looking at models walking down on the catwalk and back wearing Rarity's latest designs. They were having a blast those two and speaking of which, next Twilight was at sitting at the stands watching Rainbow Dash racing with the Wonderbolts at the grand Pegasus race, cheering her on and what not. And right at the end, it was Rainbow Dash that had came first place in the race, afterwards, Twilight went to go congratulate RD on that wonderful performance. And Lastly, Twilight was in Fluttershy's dreams and they were basically taking care of all the critters in her home, watering all of the plants, and then Fluttershy tries to teach Twilight on how to understand the animals and their needs. After visiting her best friends in their dreams, she's feels that she's had enough for one night and decides to call it and go back to her dream.
And as she was walking back to her door, right in the middle of her path, she sees a huge door on the left side and right on the middle of the door... it says; "Princess Celestia" on it. And even though Twilight said to herself that she wasn't going to anypony else's dream anymore, she couldn't help herself but to go inside. After all, it was the princess's door, her mentor, the pony that holds her future, so yeah it was common sense for her to look into her mentor's dream world just to see what she dreams about.
"Uhh... I'm sure she won't mind one bit. I mean, what's the worse that can happen?" And so, with that being said, Twilight opens the door and heads right on in... ...into Princess Celestia's dreams.
