Chapter 1

Lucid

Pinkie was tired. Not the normal, “I had a fun day with my friends playing games!” tired, or the “Today was just so boring I really need to get to bed so I can start again tomorrow.” tired. This was a “I just spent the entire day juggling helping make an elaborate cake for a wedding tomorrow, baby sitting the twins while their parents go out to get eggs, milk, icing and flour because we are all out, and trying to spend a least a little bit of time with my friends.” tired. Ascending a few more steps to her room Pinkie brushed her former bouncy, now frizzled and wiry hair out of her face. The only thought that went through her head was the warm bed that awaited her at the top of these stairs. Her pink hoof finally reached the top floor, she nearly collapsed right then and there, but her beautiful bunk awaited her with figurative arms wide open. She walked past a small kiddie pool in the middle of the floor that her pet toothless alligator Gummy laid in, chewing enthusiastically on an inflatable palm tree.

“Not tonight Gummy,” Pinkie said weakly, “mommy’s tired.” and with that the pink party pony plopped in place on the bed, wrapped herself in the thick covers, and went to sleep.

The entire world, as far as the eye could see and even further, was made of candy. Pinkie Pie could not believe what she was seeing as she stood on the marzipan hill overlooking the valleys of chocolate in between the ice cream capped marshmallow mountains, and nestled between that was a quaint little gingerbread village filled with gumdrop people going about their gumdrop lives. Pinkie knew what she must do. She exploded with excitement eating everything on her way down to the village to greeting the citizens of this candy world. When she reached the town she was greeted with cheers and jubilations. “The Candy Queen is here! The Candy Queen is here!” the gumdrop people shouted as they paraded around her waiting to be eaten with screams of joy. Once Pinkie grew so full of candy that she thought her stomach would burst, the candy people asked her what they should do to honor the day of the coming of their queen. Pinkie could only think of one thing to do, a party commenced immediately. Banners and streamers and confetti rained from the sky as everyone danced in celebration.

“This is the best party in a billion gagillion bazzilion years!” Pinkie exclaimed. Pinkie then noticed a large trampoline had been set up and many gumdrop people were bouncing on it and having a grand time. Pinkie immediately rushed over and hopped on, bouncing with candy people.

“Hey bet you can’t jump as high as I can.” Pinkie challenged the jumpers and started to jump as high as she could. Pinkie bounced higher and higher with each bounce, she was soon bouncing higher than the tallest building in the town, then higher than the tallest mountain, then higher than any of the candy birds could fly, soon enough she was bouncing as high as the Jaw breaker moon that hung in the sky. Then with one mighty jump Pinkie jumped higher than anything, past the cotton candy clouds, past the jawbreaker moon, past pop rock stars, and then when she thought she couldn't get any higher she jumped higher than the candy universe.

Pinkie awoke in a daze on the floor. ‘Just a silly dream’ she thought to herself, she had to tell the girls about this one in the morning. She got to her hooves and tried to lay back in her bed.

“Goodnight Gummy, don’t let the bedbugs bite.” She called out trying to get back to sleep which now she found very difficult. She tried adjusting her pillow, then adjusting her position, and even adjusting her blankets but nothing was working. This other pony in bed with her was hogging the whole bed!

“Hey you scootch over will ya?” She ordered the other pony in bed with her. ‘Wait a minute... other pony?’ Pinkie thought, she peered over the other lump in the bed and found that the other pony was herself! Pinkie screamed in terror as she leaped out of bed and backed away to the other side of the room in confusion.

“What’s going on?” Pinkie thought out loud. “How can I be here and there at the same time?” Pinkie looked down at the hooves which were now slightly see through and ghostlike.

“Am I a ghost? Am I dead? I can’t be dead because I’m still over there sleeping but I’m also here as a ghost and Ow my head hurts.” Pinkie paced around the room trying to make sense of this dilemma and getting nowhere fast. She was gonna need some expert help on this and she knew only one pony that could help her.

“Twilight! If anypony could figure this out she could!” With a plan in mind she rushed through the door and out of the bakery, into the streets to find her friend to help with her situation.

In almost no time Pinkie was at the library, she tried to bang on the door but only phased through it and thought ‘Might as well let myself in.’. She made her way upstairs and saw Twilight and Spike sleeping soundly in their beds.

“Twilight!” She whispered loudly.

“Twilight! Wake up!” She whispered trying to jostle the unicorn out of her slumber.

“This is an emergency Twilight! Wake up!” Pinkie tried everything to get her friend to wake up, apparently in this form it was a futile task.

“It’s useless... what do I do now?” Pinkie said, sitting on the floor pondering her next course of action. Looking up she spotted a small strange cloud hovering above Twilight’s head. Strange that she just now noticed it. It didn't seem to be the same type of cloud one would see in the sky, there was something more ethereal about it. Pinkie started to inspect it closer, touching it with a hoof, as soon as she made contact however a strange force began pulling her into the cloud. Pinkie tried to fight it but was soon consumed by the strange cloud over Twilight’s head.

Pinkie fell for what felt like an eternity, below her she could see ground coming up. She braced herself for impact but it never came, the sensation of falling stopped and when Pinkie opened her eyes she was amazed to see that she was in a library. This library wasn’t like any library she had ever been to, and she has only been to one. The rows of books seemed to go on forever and the walls seemed to be infinitely tall, she wasn't even sure if she could see the ceiling if there was one. Each shelf was beautifully carved with elaborate designs and they were filled with books of all color and size that seemed to go on forever. Pinkie walked through the maze of shelves and aisles, occasionally calling out “Hello.” and “Is anypony there?”. After a long while of walking she could see the shape of another pony at the far end of an aisle. She couldn’t see her too well from behind but she could tell that this other pony was very tall and regal looking, she sort of reminded her of the princess. The tall pony was putting away some books, levitating them into their appropriate places with her long horn. Pinkie gingerly approached the tall pony, as she got closer she could hear her muttering to herself about the titles of the books, or the author, and where they needed to go.

“Hmm Coltchoyevzky, that needs to go in non fiction. Unicorn History from 100 B.D. to 100 C.R. that needs to go into reference. The Apple Tree, heh classic, that goes in childrens.” The tall pony muttered as Pinkie got closer.

“Um, excuse me, I think I’m lost.” Pinkie said softly, the tall pony kept to her duties.

“Um, excuse me, miss? Can you help me?” She said a little louder, but the tall pony still gave her no mind. This was getting slightly annoying, Pinkie was about to pull on her tail when something caught her eye.

“Ooh! Planning the Perfect Party!” She gasped at the book on the shelf, the tall pony whipped around and gave Pinkie an angry “Shh!” Pinkie Immediately recognized her.

“Twilight! I’ve been lost around here forever! It’s so good to see you! You look different, did you get a mane cut?” Twilight was indeed different as she stood up tall and expanded her wings.

“What are you doing here?” Twilight boomed in a commanding voice.

“Well um... It’s kinda hard to explain, umm.” Pinkie tried to explain. Twilight lowered her head down to Pinkie’s level, inspecting her.

“You’re not like the other visitors.” Twilight said. Pinkie was confused.

“Other visitors?” She asked.

“Yes the others, those are fully constructs of my imagination, but you... You’re different... How did you find this place?” Twilight asked.

“Well first I went to bed, then I had a dream where I was queen of the candy people, and then somehow I popped out of that dream and kind, popped into this one...” Pinkie explained to the best of her ability.

“Hmm Interesting, hold on one moment.” Twilight said, her horn glowed and the two of them were enwrapped in a bubble of magic. The bubble bursted and the two were teleported to another section of the library. Pinkie was a little dazed but Twilight levitated a book down from a high shelf.

“Here we are, Dream Psychology 101, hopefully this will explain things.” Twilight said as she magically flipped through the book.

“Lets see, lets see... Here it is, astral projection!”

“Astral pro-what-now?” Pinkie asked confused.

“Astral projection, the act of separation of the spiritual self from the physical self, mostly during sleep. That must be what’s happening to you now, and the reason that you are in my dream is possible a temporary cohabitation of two spiritual selves inside one vessel. If that’s the case there’s no telling what the limitations the projector could have in the host’s dream, We could possible be dealing with full lucid dreaming!” Twilight kept going on and on about spirits, dreams and a lot of other stuff Pinkie couldn’t keep track of. She raised her hoof as if she was in class to get Twilight’s attention.

“Um, question.” Pinkie spoke.

“...possible soul damage, gotta test that, but how? Maybe I could... Yes?” Twilight answered.

“What does that all mean?” Pinkie asked. Twilight stood there for a moment trying to think of the best way to explain this.

“Well...uh...Astral projection means that you popped out of your dream and -”

“Yeah yeah I got that part,” Pinkie Interrupted, “I wanna know what loo-sid dreaming is, sounds fun!”

“Oh, that, well lucid dreaming simply means that a subject is aware that they are dreaming and therefore can alter the dream in anyway they wish.” Twilight explained simply enough. The pink pony’s eyes widened with this information and a gleeful grin grew on her face.

“Uh...Pinkie...Are you okay?”

“So I can do anything I want huh? Anything I want?”
“Um...” Twilight hesitated “Yes.”

“So If I wanted to I could fly super fast?” At that moment the pink pony lifted off the ground and started darting around the library at supersonic speeds, bouncing off shelves and knocking books to the ground. Twilight panicked as she tried to find cover and tried to catch any books raining down upon her.

“Ooh ooh! Or I can grow into a giant!” Pinkie then exploded in growth, crushing shelves underneath her massive hooves.

“Hey I got a great idea, what if there were a million of me?” The giant Pinkie exploded into a million regular sized pinkies that rained down onto the wreckage that used to be the library. Twilight tried to fly to safety but was soon overwhelmed in the torrent of pink ponies. Soon enough all of the pinkies settled into one giant giggling mound on the floor. Twilight finally reached the top and gasped for air and the original Pinkie popped right next to her.

“And what if--” A hoof was shoved into her mouth interrupting whatever crazy idea was next.

“What if you left my dream, go back home, and went to sleep?” Twilight said sternly with an anger in her eyes that could burn the sun.

“Ohhay” Pinkie said, muffled by Twilight’s hoof.

“Good, then would you be so kind as to GET OUT OF MY DREAM!” With that Twilight levitated all of the Pinkies into the air, combine them into one, and then shot her straight up out of her library like a shooting star. With a final pink twinkle Pinkie was finally out.

“Now that that has been settled I can start...”Twilight looked out on her ruined library, shelves splintered into oblivion, books ruined beyond all recognition, disorganization everywhere. It was horrible.

“Rebuilding my library...” Twilight produced a broom and dustpan and started sweeping up the catastrophic mess.

Pinkie shot out of Twilight’s cloud like a cannon and slammed hard on the far wall. She slid down to the floor and sat dazed on the floor seeing stars orbit her head. She shook it off and got to her hooves.

“Maybe Twilight’s right... Maybe I should get back to bed.” Pinkie said solemnly and slunk out of the library toward the bakery. About halfway there a thought crossed Pinkie’s head. ‘Why should I go back to bed? Just because Twilight said so? The night is still young and I wonder what my other friends are dreaming.’ With a new spring in her step Pinkie turned away from the bakery and started heading off on her new journey in dreams.

“First stop, Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie exclaimed, bouncing off toward her friend’s cloud house.
