04: The Dream
Previous ChapterNext ChapterInfo
As this story is rated 'Teen' there will be sexual references here and there, not too much, but just for awkwardness' sake.
You open your eyes slowly, and notice it is still dark. You let your eyes adjust to the unexpected darkness, only to find that you aren't able. It's just too dark too see anything. You stretch your arm out before you, but you can't even see your hand from this close.
You feel panic slowly creeping up on you. You wonder why it is so dark. 'Didn't they have electricity here?' You wonder to in silence, the claustrophobia only getting worse. Just before you think you might scream for help you see a dim light in the distance.
The small and dim light doesn't seem to do much at all but it gives you a reference point as to where the ground and your hands are, which also makes you feel less panicky. You wonder why the light is there so suddenly, and you want to investigate.
You slowly get up, but not from where you remembered to have fallen asleep the previous evening. Instead of there being a soft couch underneath you you get up from something more like a bed, but a naturally formed one made of leaves and branches and other plant-like materials.
Once you got up you decide to walk toward the little light. It is so strangely attracting, the more you walk the more you feel like the light is beckoning you to continue and see what it really is. There only seems to be one problem, the light isn't getting any closer, or larger, or brighter for that matter.
You feel like you've been walking for hours, but the light is still the same distance apart from you as to when you started your journey. You start to feel agitated and angry. Confused that the light isn't getting any closer, even when it's beckoning you to just cross the little distance and see, actually see, what this beautiful, yet infuriating, little source of light is.
Just before you burst, from anger this time rather than panic, you feel something on your shoulder, something soft. You stiffen at the unexpected touch, and instantly bounce away from it. You turn around but you can't see a damn thing and since the little light source is behind you, you're making a shadow exactly where you want to be able to see something.
"We are sorry. Did we scare you?" A female voice asks from the darkness of your shadow.
You don't know what to do. Will you reply to the rather loud voice, or just stand here being paranoid.
"We did not intend to scare you. Quite the opposite actually. It seems that you have found yourself in a rather unpleasant dream and it is our job to make sure that does not happen."
What is this 'we' stuff. You're pretty sure there's only one woman standing right in front of you, although you still can't see her.
"Who a-are you?" You ask nervously. You have a pretty bad feeling about this and all you want to do is run away, get to the light and be safe.
"Oh. Let us introduce ourselves." The woman said, again with a voice much louder than was necessary.
You slowly started to see a dull blue glow in front of you. It started out as something that looked like a very dark blue flowing river, reflecting the starry skies, but it is slowly getting brighter. After a while you see that it isn't a flowing river, but a very large mane, blowing in a sort of ethereal breeze. You don't feel any wind or breeze, but the mane, which now frames a very cute looking pony, is being blown about nevertheless.
You avert your eyes from her mane and look directly into her eyes. Not the smartest move. You look into two massive turquoise eyes. All you can do is keep on looking at the gorgeous eyes for god knows how long, and then she speaks again.
"We are Princess Luna, sister of Princess Celestia, watcher of the night and keeper of dreams. It is our duty to rid all dreams from evil, such as anxiety and anger." She added the last bit with a little delay and you expect that it was meant for you personally.
"Sooo... I'm dreaming?" You ask her with a smug face. "And I just met a princess, a pony princess. Who can enter my dreams to make them better." You say this as if making fun of her. It's only a dream anyway, and that means she's also just part of the dream. Although you did feel better when she came into the picture, and you've never seen her before. You also don't remember having such a good fantasy.
"You do not believe us?" It looks like you may have offended her a bit. But then again, she's just a dream.
She just keeps looking at you and even decides to sit down. After about ten long minutes you come to a sudden, although very obvious, realisation. If this is a dream than that means you can control it.
You look at the light behind you and this time, instead of walking to it, you're willing it to go toward you. At first nothing seems to happen, but after a few seconds the orbs starts moving, at first a bit slowly, as if reluctant to move from its current position, but then speeds up before stops right in front of you.
'Wonderful!' You think, feeling a little elated, especially after having been so furious at the little light orb, now peacefully resting in the palm of your hand.
You still think it is a little dark, and you will the light to go brighter. After yet again a few seconds the orb starts to pulsate slightly and the world around you seems to become lighter. You look over your shoulder to take a peak at the princess, only to find her standing two inches away from your back.
'How did she do that, I didn't even hear anything.' You think, but you don't feel any sort of panic building, just curiosity.
"Enjoying yourselves?" She asked with, yet again, the exaggerated loud voice and, yet again, using the plural rather than the usual single form of grammar. You think it's quite odd. As if she's from the middle-ages or something.
Thinking about the question she asked, you find that you are actually enjoying yourself. You turn to her to answer her question, only to find yourself mesmerised by her amazingly hue'ed eyes. You melt before her gaze, and since you're not too young any more, and had access to the internet back on earth something happens that you don't expect, nor do you want it to happen.
You are aroused. This is a dream, and you are feeling aroused. Not a good combination, especially in front of a princess who may or may not be real, who has the most beautiful eyes. And you are still looking straight at them. who would've ever thought you could get aroused from another being. Sure you've seen shit on the internet, but that was just plain disturbing.
'Am I going crazy?' You wonder, although you've had this conversation about a thousand times with yourself over the past few days.
You are finally able to shift your eyes away from the mare's only to come to another, very obvious, realisation. She's not wearing any clothes. And so aren't any of the other ponies you're hanging around with. This idea feels very wrong to you, and you turn away from the pony and sit with your back toward her.
You start to feel more anxious again, en then she starts to speak again.
"What causes you anxiety is nothing to worry about human. You may be a different species, but you are definitely still a male. It seems that our kind is not the only one who need some relief every so often, and since there are none of your species here except you, it is only logical to find relief through dreams." The way she talked so casually about something so embarrassing made you feel only more aroused.
Thought's are starting to go through your head, dirty thoughts. After not too long these thoughts start to manifest in your dream. You don't like this one bit. You feel really embarrassed that the princess is still behind you. That mare with those deep blue-green eyes, framed by a slim face and a mane that represented the night sky.
You hear a little thunk behind you and then a little oooh~. You anxiously turn around only to be extremely stunned by what you see. Instead of the seeing the pony princess sit behind you, she's standing straight up, with all her accessories laying next to her.
She was looking at you wide-eyed, if that was even possible as her eyes were already huge. Between the pile of accessories you saw her tiara, it was made from some sort of black gem, and it had a dark-blue glow to it, much like the glow around her 'flowing' mane. You looked up to the top of her head and only then do you notice the big horn extruding at least a good three feet from it.
And now with the light bright enough to be able to see normally you look at yourself and don't like what you see. You're not wearing any clothes, and you're aroused. That and the fact you are now facing Luna directly again makes your face feel hot and you know you're blushing from embarrassment. The mare takes notice of your skin turning red at your cheeks, and slowly follows you eyes down to your groin, which was now growing rather rapidly.
Once she understands what's going on she immediately averts her eyes to the side, and you can swear that her cheeks are also getting a little flushed.
Not wanting anything more to go wrong you just want to wake up, although the dream is pleasant, in a freakish kind of way.
"We think we will take our leave now." The princess said with a little stutter in her voice.
Is she nervous? You kind of expected a princess to be more assertive, even in these sort of awkward situations. You saw her take another quick peek at your lower mid section before her horn started to glow and she vanished with a flash, leaving you blind for the next five seconds or so.
'Well, so much for having a nice dream.' You think to yourself, still stunned by the flash of Luna disappearing.
You did not expect to have been able to create such an attractive pony in your head but it was a dream, which meant you must have created it. But this fact now makes you feel very uncomfortable. You made up an attractive pony, and not an attractive human. Although you only arrived here, in this strange world, about two weeks ago. You haven't even spent a long time being awake, about only half of it, and you've only spent one day, ONE DAY, with multiple of these equine species.
Now that the attractive princess mare is gone your dream feels empty, empty and boring. You just sit down, not really knowing what to do or how to even wake up. Then the earth starts shifting ever so slightly. but it gets worse. The earth moves back and forth with increasing strength and after not too long it feels like you're able to surf on it. Then the earth falls away from underneath you, and you fall.
You violently open your eyes and your muscles make you shoot straight up, but instead of sitting straight up you hit your head against something hard and you fall back down with a thump.
"Ouch, that really hurt." You hear someone, or something, say with a childlike voice.
You can feel your heart beating in your head at the place you got hit, but you slowly open your eyes to investigate what actually happened. You're glad to find that it is relatively in the room and that you're exactly where you remembered going to sleep, which was on the, amazingly soft, couch.
You look up at the ceiling, but instead of seeing one you see three pairs of huge eyes in way to small heads. The one who was hanging over you had its hoof put against its head, at the place you two bumped into each other, you expect.
"Yea, that did hurt a little." You reply with your voice cracking a bit, probably because of the rude awakening.
The three little fillies, you now saw, were looking at you wide eyed. It was getting awkward with them staring at you like that.
"Would you please stop that?" You ask them, with a touch of annoyance in your voice.
They replied by quickly jumping down from the top of the couch, where your head is, and then sprinting out the front door. You hear them laughing as they run around the house, toward the barn area.
"Well, good morn'n." You hear Applejack say from the opposite side of the room, the accent heavy in her voice. "You feelin' hungry?"
You did feel a little hungry, especially since you've only eaten a bit of cake in the past two weeks. the rest was all fed to you through tubes and needles in the hospital.
"What's for breakfast." You ask her with a smile while you get up from the couch. You look in her direction and notice that Twilight is standing next to Applejack. "Oh, hey Twilight." You say, before Applejack has the chance to answer your question about food.
"Oh. hi." Twilight answers, and you notice her not looking at your face, but rather at the ground and the walls. You notice a little blush appear on her cheeks. Looking over at Applejack you immediately understand why, as you see her staring, not at your face, but just a but lower. You were having the common problem which almost every, human, guy has in the morning.
You quickly turn around and look down at your embarrassing wood, also thinking back about the dream you had.
"Sorry 'bout that." You say nervously to the two mares still standing behind you.
"Don' worry 'bout it sugarcube. Happens to all stallions ev'ry once in a while." Applejack says with a little laugh, which makes you feel even more embarrassed about it.
"We'll just leave ya to get ready fer breakfast. C'mon Twi. See ya." Applejack seems way to comfortable, but then again she does seem to have the same personality as the stereotypical human farmers have and you expect her to not really care about this kind of stuff.
"Yea, guess I'll see you guys at breakfast." You quickly answer before they're out of earshot.
Again you look down at your manhood which was now, thankfully, subsiding again. You think about the dream again, and can't help but think about the fact that these ponies weren't wearing any clothes. Sure they had fur, but the fact that they could think and speak like humans made you feel like they should also be wearing clothes, and not go about showing off their stuff just because they can. It just doesn't seem natural.
You quickly look at yourself in one of the mirrors hang on the walls only to find yourself very disappointed. You're a mess. Your clothes are dirty and need to be cleaned as soon as possible and your hair, which has started to grow longer than you are used to, makes you look almost like a porcupine. You try to comb your hair as good as possible with your hands but you only manage to make your head look like a sad mushroom. Seeing that you can't do much about your hair you decide to go to the dining room and join the ponies at the table.
Breakfast is a surprise. It consists of bread, which you already thought was an achievement, apple juice, which you pretty much expected since you're on an apple farm, lettuce, you think they got from a market or something, and surprisingly, cheese. There was also a lot of hay on the table, but you expected that since you're in a house full of epuine beings.
You're joined at the table by five ponies, two of which you know, Twilight and Applejack. The other three you haven't really met yet, although one did look a little familiar. The little filly sitting across from you still massaged her forehead every now and then with the backside of her hoof, indicating the point of impact from this morning.
She's like a child version of Applejack, not in appearance but more in personality. Next to her is a big pony, and from the looks of it, a he. The look in his eyes seem rather lethargic, but he also looks rather buff. You don't know how a pony can look buff but this guy really does.
At the head of the table there's a pony who doesn't look like the youngest any more, all wrinkly and moving very slowly to start on her meal.
The only thing that's missing for making yourself a sandwich though is mayonnaise. You guess you'll just have to do without that then.
The bread is a lot tastier than it looks like, probably because it was freshly baked and it's still warm on the inside, making it very soft and fluffy and extremely enjoyable to eat. This is the first normal meal you've had since you arrived, and you feel relieved they actually have normal food, maybe no meat but that was fine, for now.
After you ate your breakfast and everybody finished you got led back to the room you slept in last night.
"So what have you got planned for me today?" You ask Twilight with a little smile on your face.
"Well I've shown you most of the town, but there are two more places I really have to show you, and one of them is going to take up quite a bit of time." She answers with genuine excitement.
"But before we go we have to wait for everypony else to be here." She added.
"Wait, what? Everypony as in who?" You ask with a little concern. You've seen how big the village was and you don't really feel like having to hang around with all of them.
"Oh just Rarity, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash." She said, again sounding pretty excited. You also don't really look forward to meeting the blue pegasus again, thinking about what happened the last time you met her. You are relieved though that she didn't mean all the ponies from the village when she said 'everypony'.
You didn't have to wait very long before there was a knock on the door.
"You gonna let us in, or what." You hear a pony say with a little bit of a hoarse voice, which you remembered was, as you feared, from the blue pegasus with a rainbow coloured mane and tail.
Applejack went to open the door, and you are left with Twilight for a few seconds. She seems to be a little shy when there's no other pony around and she looks at the ground again, really avoiding all eye contact. She didn't do that before did she? Does it have anything to do with this morning maybe?
The seconds pass quickly and then the room gets filled with the rest of her closest friends.
"So were are we going?" Rainbow Dash asks Twilight.
"Well first we're going to visit my library, and then... Well you'll just have to see." She said with a rather playfull tone.
"Come on, lets get going." She walked toward the door and she opened it using her magic and you and the other ponies followed.
