World blocked by a dream

I walked slowly up the front steps of my house.I breathed sadly before I turned the doorknob.I quickly rushed to my room before my parents noticed me.It had been a hard day of school today,and all I wished to do right now was sleep.I plopped my bookbag in a corner of the room.I slumped into my bed(I was too lazy to take the clothes I went to school in off),and went into dreamland.

A loud crash abruptly stole my sleep away.I heaved my body out of bed,and walked from my room into the living room.My mother was hurling a lamp at my father.He ducked before the object connected with his head.

Although most people would be shocked by my mother's violent act,I just stood there emotionless.My father shouted,"You're crazy,woman!"My mother screamed,"If I am,then you made me that way!"

Fights like this were the norm in my house for a year.If I were asked why my parents fought daily,I couldn't answer absolutely.A number of reasons came to mind:my dad was working late a lot of the time,my mother would only do chores around the house when my father and I were at home to help,and I didn't have the best grades in school.

I shut out the noisy war between my parents as much as I could,walked in the kitchen,and glanced at the stove.It seems my mother was preparing soup before she got into an argument with my dad.I didn't care that the food wasn't prepared because my parents couldn't do anything together without a fight breaking out between them(not even eat dinner).

I was extremely thirsty though.I reached into the refrigerator for a water bottle.I drank every last drop of water.I threw the plastic container into the garbage.

I tried to make myself as unnoticable as possible as I retreated to my bedroom.I didn't reach my goal in time.Dad yelled to me,"Lucas!"I turned at the sound of my name."Yes dad?",I asked.My dad commanded,"Tell your mother what your grades are."I hesitantly told my mother,"All my grades are below passing."My father blamed at my mother,"See what you did to our son!"My mother was shocked."What I did!",she said astounded.My father accusingly said,"Yes you!I work my fingers to the bone at the office.You sit around all day doing nothing when you could be helping our son get his grades up!"

I walked back to my room before I was apart of their conversation again.I turned on my television.I decided to watch a comedy about four friends pranking each other.Once the episode ended,I went to my door,and listened for my parents' voices.

I still heard my mom and dad trading arguments.It amazed me they never grew tired from arguing with each other.Some nights they would go on for hours.I suddenly felt extremely woozy.I tried to make it to my bed,but only made it three steps before I fell face-first on the carpet.My eyes closed shut.

I awoke in a room that wasn't my own.I may not be a large guy,but the bed I found myself in is meant for the size of a small child.The blank walls I was supposed to have had apparently been replaced by walls covered in pictures drawn by a five-year old.

I took a glimpse at my body to realize I was now an orange unicorn colt.At this point I guess I should have been freaking out,but I didn't.I can't explain why I acted so calm.

All of a sudden,the door flew open.A green unicorn mare went into the room.She got straight up to me,and asked nicely,"How is my little guy doing today?"I replied in a high-pitched voice,"Good mommy!"I apparently have no control over what I say.

The mare put me onto her back,and brought me to a dining table.As she sat me down into a chair,she called out,"Tom!Breakfast is ready!"An adult male voice said,"Coming Honey!"A blue unicorn joined me at the table.

The green mare hauled muffins,pancakes,and toast onto the plates set down on the table.The stallion said,"Beth,you are just a spectacular cook."The mare was flattered.The stallion earned a kiss on the cheek for his compliment.

Beth sat herself down to eat.The stallion asked me,"Lucas,what does my growning boy want to eat?"I said,"The blueberry muffins please."He served me my desired dish.I ate with extreme speed.Beth took notice at the pace of my food consumption,and said,"Son you eat like your meal will run away.Take slower bites."

I nodded my headed up and down.The stallion finished his meal,and hugged the mare and me.The stallion said sadly,"I wish I could go with you two for little Lucas's first day of school,but the construction company needs somepony to manage those knuckleheads at work."Beth said,"It's okay hubby.Lucas will have tons of fun at school."She said to me,"Right Lucas."I said,"I'll try."

My human and unicorn parents have the same first names apparently.The stallion looked at his watch,saw it was time to leave,and left whistling happily to work.The mare said to me,"Let me eat first,then we will go to your new school sweetie."She was done with her meal in five minutes.She collected all the dirty dishes on the table,and put them in the sink for future cleaning.

I was told to wait at the door.She went into a closet near the door,and retrieved a bookbag.She put the pack on my back as she said,"I have everything you need in this bag for the school year like pencils,paper,and crayons,so don't lose it.Now,let's leave."

She and I walked for several minutes until we saw a large school building.A huge amount of colts and fillies were hurrying to get inside the building.Beth looked down at me lovingly.She said,"I will be in this exact spot after school okay."I said,"Okay mommy."She walked away with tears in her eyes.I thought of why she looked so sad leaving me at school.I didn't get much time to think when a bell rang loudly.

I made my way into the school with the other children.I was confused as to how I was going to tell which classroom I belonged to.I tapped a colt in front of me.The colt turned to see what I wanted.The colt said,"What?"I asked,"How can someone tell what class they have?"The colt said,"Look at the sheets with names on the classroom doors."I checked six of the sheets with no luck.The seventh showed my first name,and it showed the last name I had.It was the same last name as I had when I was human:Spell.

I walked through the door,and peered at the chalkboard.The teacher wrote on the board to sit anywhere.I seated myself in the desk closest to the teacher.

The stallion Earth pony teacher had brown fur.The educator wanted for us to play a game where we would say something about ourselves when he pointed to one of us.The first said how he had every Daring Do book there was.The second student said that she had a flower collection that had over one hundred types of plants. The third said how his favorite pastries are doughnuts.I am the fourth picked.All I said was my name.The teacher looked disappointed at me.He said,"Come on.You can do better than that,can't you?"I shook my head no.He shrugged,and went on to another child.

After everyone got through sharing details on themselves,the teacher let the children draw until naptime.The kids started drawing as soon as they got the okay from the teacher(I included).A mental picture of my pony parents is what my hooves tried to duplicate onto the paper.Once done with the art,I found I drew like the age I currently am.The teacher looked at his watch,and stood up to inform us to go to sleep.We complied.I was out like a light as soon as my head touched the soft pillow.

I came out of my slumber to see I was back in my room.My room and I had returned back to our original states.I stood unsteadily onto my feet.I searched myself for injuries,and thankfully found none.

I blamed my fainting on not eating enough.That was a very weird dream I just had.I guess everyone has abnormal dreams every now and again.

I wondered how long I had been asleep.I checked the time on my alarm clock.The time is 6:04 A.M.

I should get ready for school.I made my way to my closet to put on clean clothes.I was just about to grab my selected pants and shirt but stopped.Maybe I could stay home after telling my parents that I had fainted.I immediately thought against it.My incident would only cause my parents to accuse the other on who was the cause of it.

I undressed,redressed in my fresh attire,retrieved my bookbag,and went into the living room.The living room was devastated by my parents' battle last night.My father was snoring on the couch since he couldn't stand sleeping in a bed with his own wife.I sneaked as quietly as possible to the door so my dad didn't wake up.It was time for me to go to school.Unfortunately.
