Extra Log #2 - Part Two

When I woke up to realize I was back in my old house and not in Fluttershy's cottage, I was quite shocked.  Well, confused more than shocked.  To be precise, I could say I was literally dumbstruck beyond belief.  I didn't know how I just wounded up back on Earth.  I mean, I conjectured about the culprits responsible; one of which were Discord.  It could have been Celestia, and she could have done it without leaving a note or having my consent.  Or... it could be that it was nothing more than a simple dream and I'm being a total dick for jumping to rash conclusions.  But it's not my fault.  I'm sure everyone probably would point their fingers or hooves at Discord if he just so as much as scratches his ass.  And seeing as Celestia has the magic to send me back and forth between worlds, it was very likely I'd suspected her of such.

     I crumpled and threw the wild assumptions away but still held the plausible idea that it had to be a dream.  There are multiple methods to know when you're in a lucid dream; when one believes he or she is in an unconscious state, one should check their appearance to see if their legs, toes, arms or fingers are either disfigured or missing.  Problem was I checked every part of my body thoroughly (I had pajamas on.  Thank God it wasn't that kind of dream) and every part looked exactly the way they were, so that method didn't really help out much...  Usually if I noticed I'm dreaming I'd think up of something that would then pop out of nowhere before me, so I did exactly that, although my meditating process was short-lived when an elegant, female voice was heard from the living room, guffawing in a boisterous manner.

     More presumptions accumulated inside my (un)conscious brain; would the laughing woman in the living room possibly be Tina?  Come to think of it, I have never, in my entire life, heard her laugh like that.  Thinking it over thoughtfully, I hunched it had to be one of the... mane six.  Okay, I understand the slight comparisons between Equestria and Earth  -- Saddle Arabia (Saudi Arabia), Manehattan (Manhattan), Las Pegasus (Las Vegas) --  yet using the word 'mane' instead of 'main' was just... well, silly to say!  But I wasn't living on my own world, now was I?

     Alas when I couldn't decipher whose laughter it was, I stopped what I was doing and went to go investigate.

     As I hastily crept past the exit of my bedroom and down the empty hallway corridors, my ears caught some quirky sounds I was all too familiar with.

     "Ed why's your helmet tied to your butt?"  Eddy asked, sounding pretty irritated.

     "For protection," Ed replied.

     Judging by the dialogue (while restraining myself from bursting out into a fit of giggles) it appeared whoever the woman was, was watching a repeat of 'Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy' where the three boys were building a treehouse clubhouse on top of a tree.

     It seemed rather peculiar.  Something gnawed at the back of my brain- something that made me suspicious about the whole thing besides the mysterious, chortling person.  It's a weird feeling like when someone dreams of a place they haven't been to yet.  Almost like their mind's are predicting the future.  When I used to be young, I had one of those bizarre experiences; as I said, it's weird since that dream I had was the exact house I bought and lived in.  At first I didn't know why I dreamt of something like that, but years later when I became an adult it actually happened.  Talk about Deja Vu.

     After going through a massive brainstorm, I finally put the puzzle pieces together: this dream I was having was a memory of sorts.  I pulled out my smartphone from my pajamas pen pocket to reveal an interesting revelation.  With a sweep of an index finger on the screen, the calendar on the top-right side depicted the date to be October 9th, 2011; the day before I found Fluttershy.  Sorta explained the 'smashing the alarm clock' reaction.

     Acknowledging the facts, I stashed the phone back into the pocket and continued creeping toward the living room.  Quietly and cautiously, I stretched my neck out a couple inches and took a peek at the person sitting on the couch.  And to my phenomenal discovery, it was not a human but a... pony.  Would have been anticlimactic... if it weren't an alicorn.

     Indeed it was an alicorn, based on Twilight's intuition; I've learned several things of pony culture and different species including the alicorns thanks to her.  An alicorn is a pegasus and unicorn hybrid.  They fly just like any other pegasus but their magic powers are unlike a normal unicorn's.  While their powers are significantly limited, they could still perform spells and rituals not any mere unicorn are capable of performing.  From my understanding, at least.

     So it came to me as a shock that not only was there a female alicorn -- according to Twilight there hadn't been confirmations on the existences of male alicorns --  sitting on her haunches on the couch, laughing her dare to say... plot off to one of my favorite episodes of all time, but I haven't met this certain pony.  As I leaned further outward, I managed to make out some of her features.

     She had a very dark shade of blue of a coat, like the skies during twilight hour.  She also had a translucent mane, rippling and sparkling just like Celestia's.  The mare blew out a hearty chuckle at the part where Ed was slapping Eddy to snap him out of it.  I had to admit, that part got me snickering in the inside.  Back to my analysis; there was an inky-black regal crown resting atop of her head.  Squinting, I managed to catch a glimpse of her mystical horn, although it looked much shorter than Celestia's.  Perhaps the length of an alicorn's horn varied on their age or something.

     I leaned outward a bit more while maintaining my balance, ensuring I wouldn't tumble and give myself away.  Unfortunately, it appeared that the mare had already sensed my presence.  Well, she didn't exactly sense; she had known all along.

     She spoke aloud softly, without as much as giving me a single glance, "How has the view been, human?"

     Alicorns sure were up to their reputation...  I was positively certain I was being stealthily as possible.  "Other than a random stranger who I have no knowledge of is sitting on my couch and is watching cartoon shows on my television set like she own place?  I have to say the view's been splendid," I quipped.  I sauntered my way over to the couch, and as I got closer the mare swiveled her head around to look at me.  There I had a crystal clear vision of her large, aquamarine eyes.  "How did you know I was awake?" I asked, scratching the back of my head curiously.

     She shot me a 'are you kidding me?' expression.  "Hasn't the loud banging sound been proof enough?"  She replied flatly.

     Embarrassed, my face flushed in red as I bit my lower lip.  "Oh... so you heard that, huh?" I muttered, looking down at the floor timidly.
