Chapter 4, a new fate, and a new frightening dream
Getting an almost rude awakening from pinkie with objects I didn’t even know existed.
“wake up sleepy head” she snorted a laugh “you said you were going to Canterlot right, so here” she handed me a case seeming to want to explode from being filled up that the slightest touch would make its miscellaneous objects explode around the destined room. “uh thanks pinkie, why do you want me to leave” she stopped smiling “I don’t want you to leave silly, I just knew you were busy but I guess I was a bit pushy” her puffy mane seemed to deflate slowly “no no, pinkie thank you so much its very thoughtful” she turned beamed and her hair inflated instantly and she was full of energy “well you still need this and this, this, oh can’t forget this oh and this” she exclaimed and she reaching into a chest throwing out random object a rubber duck, a lukewarm icepack, a chilly heat pack, a little pink balloon non filled an old stale cup cake with my fur and mane colors into a swirly fashion, a pair of clown shoes.

“pinkie, that’s enough” I said staggering around the room balancing the objects “oops, sorry” she told me to open the suitcase “wait what, it might like explode or something” she looked at me opened the case and nothing flew out it stayed perfectly still I put my hoof to my head and wiped “phew, ok do I just put them in” she nodded I set the stuff on the adjacent bed and went to organize a bit my clothes rarity had made were in there when my hoof touched the case, clothes exploded into the air food and cakes and brushes and twigs and the random objects pinkie assumed I would need flew around the room. Pinkie smiled in awe the smile growing abnormally large I flew to catch the falling objects catching clothes in my teeth and a brush in the tail. I accounted for it all and pinkie decided to pack again for me.

Soon she finished, fed me then sent me on my way through Ponyville. On my way out of town I stopped by sweet apple acres to say goodbye and barter for some apple Canterlot was a long way away one stale cupcake won’t bode well. On arrival a green looking older pony sat on the porch or a quaint little pink house “hold it, state your business young’un” she laughed “I’m just kidding you should have seen the look on your face she laughed until her dentures fell out she put them back in and felt them to see that they were just right. “I wanted to but some apple’s I’m headed to Canterlot you see” she cut me off “oh your that feller that stopped Trixie and saved Ponyville” I still hadn’t known why I was being praised I didn’t deserve it but none the matter it was great while it lasted “sure go out to the fields apple jack and big Macintosh should be out there” I thanked her and headed to the back I saw trees with apple I didn’t even know existed ones rainbow colored some pink some icy blue some purple some green some the color of a spleen. I was awed by the alluring sights, my mouth started to salivate “howdy partner, I see you eyeing the apples yeah there my families passion” looked “ yea they sure look tasty, can I buy some” she smiled turned around bent and grabbed a basket of apple and put them in front of me “sure pick a few, 5 apples every 2 bit” I smiled “ok yea I’ll take ten” I handed her four bits opened my saddle bag and deposited the apples and continued to walk along. Apple bloom and her friends paraded in the distance to a sturdy well-built looking tree house. I was again on the dirt road.

Walking after hours the sun went down I decided to set up a shelter. I looked in my saddle bag twilight had given pinkie pie frozen fire powder, a magical artifact that is used for land ponies to make fire you just sprinkle it onto a piece of wood or well anything and presto the warmest fire you’ve ever felt. Pinkie gave it to me she obviously didn’t need it and I don’t want to know what she would do with it anyway maybe try to put it in cupcakes. Possible make a glitter painting with it or something. I couldn’t really tell what was going on in her head. I grabbed an apple in my teeth from the saddle bag and chomped down, the sweet juice if the apple filled my mouth the more I chewed the better it tasted well at least the apples did their work with some initiative and pride. I threw the core into the fire it exploded into green flame and disappeared. I laid back looked at the stars of equestrian noticing the star swirled the bearded’s constellations he found while he was alive, he was a fantastic philosopher and a great magician no doubt the role model of any magic savvy pony. My eyes slowly closed.

I dreamed I was back in celestia’s wishful wonders and the ponies there were tragically hurt, blood was everywhere the person I was watching the eyes through talked in an accent unknown gentleman like but almost terrifying. He walked pass a mirror and showed himself a black unicorn, with fake wings probably with the magic and glowing red eyes he was angry with almost everything I could feel it myself. I was trapped in his body and I had no control. He approached wish star desperately trying to protect rock breaker his horn started to glow not its regular color but red, the unicorn fell in an almost heap I could almost feel wish stars pain his horn disappeared in a hail of blood and magical excess. He dropped wish star which was now flailing around frantically on the floor writhing in pain. He was again picked up and thrown across the room leaving rock breaker which seemed to be hurt somehow venerable. The guy I was in bent over touched his horn to her head and poof like a candle blown from existence or just teleported away. He disappeared into a cloud of black magic excess leaving me a phantom with no body to wander around the halls to gather information I moved into a nearby room it seemed to lure me in I opened the door and a bright light overtook my vision. I woke up in a cold sweat gasp. It was morning and the newly set dew had glistened in the sun and the fired had been nothing but ember for what had been almost forever.

I sat up grabbed my bags and hoof stomped the fire down and continued my journey. To the mighty city of Canterlot to maybe choose a favor or something I munched on an apple, and was on my way galloping in the direction of destiny just can’t wait.
