A Rude Awakening
Prologue
Load Full StoryIt was just like any normal night, Matthew and I were playing a bit of Halo 4 and things were going well. Matthew was an old Xbox Live friend of mine from across the ocean. I had lived in Ireland and he had lived in America, who to think that two people that were so far, were also so close. "Good game Cian but I have to go its 11pm." Matthew said to me. "Yeah I better go as well, I don't think me staying up at 6am is good for me, so I guess I might as well hit the hay." As we bid our goodbyes, I turned off the console and headed straight for the softness of my pillows. Not caring for what position I was in I slept on the bed still in my clothes. Man was I sleepy! I usually don't go too sleep quick but I believe that I went asleep before i even hit the pillow! The sleep was good, but what was even better was the rude awakening I got of the sound of a....train?!
Apparently I was awoken by the sound of the wheels hitting the rails of the train tracks. When I opened my eyes I observed my surroundings. I was in a first class cabin, but it was a little small. There was wine coloured leather seats, nice brown carpet, and the bed I awoke in was very comfortable as well. It had puffy, cloud-like pillows, a nice soft quilt, and for some reason, it had like a pink plush! Maybe it was traditional to have this thing, I didn't really care, this thing was more cuddly than the pillows! When i had started to get out of my dazed, tired state I got a better look at this plush I was snuggling into. It had pink all over it and a darker pink puffiness around the top and bottom, Wait a minute, this looks familliar.. I thought to myself but I let it be. I was too sleepy, too comfortable and much too engulfed of how this plush was so soft! In a moment of excitement I gave the plush a tight squeeze, but then I jumped from half asleep to ten cups of coffee awake after it....made a squeek! Ok, now it's time to check this thing out! I had leaped out of the bed, and bumping my head into the shallow ceiling. Why is it so low?! I had asked myself. As I had edged myself to the opposite side of the bed, I pulled the covers slowly in worry of what this might be. As I had pulled the covers off completely, I was in shock of what I had seen. That...is...impossible... I couldn't believe my own eyes. I knew immediately of what this thing was. none other than the pony Pinkie Pie! I pretty much scanned the fluffy, pink pony to actually make sure that it wasn't a plush or anything. Hooves, nuzzle, actually breathing! This was as real as it could get. It was about five minutes after I had calmed down from the excitement and I was still looking at Pinkie. Still in disbelief. as I had noticed she was asleep, I also noticed she was unsettled, like shivvering. Oh crap the quilt! I thought as I snatched the quilt and covered Pinkie up to her chin. She had settled down but I noticed she was still unsettled. She was twitching and mumbling a small bit, she was having a nightmare. I didn't think Pinkie would have nightmares or anything bad for her to think about at all! But then again, The most happiest is the most saddest I would remember in my head. As I came out of my train of thought, looked at Pinkie and did the only thing I remembered what my mother used to do if something like this was happening, softly pet her head and hope it shall ease her. "shhhh shhh it's ok." I whispered to her. After about ten seconds of me petting her, she had eased down and slept like a baby. Alright now thats that out of the way, I gotta find out where the hell I am... During that thought, I heard a small thud in the next cabin. Oh great! Maybe someone can tell me where I am... As I had opened the door to my cabin, so did the cabin's of where the thud came from. As I stuck out my head, I noticed no one was in the corridor, except for a familiar face that popped out of the cabin with the thud. "Matthew?!" "Cian?!"
