Waking Up In Equestria

                      The red pony began to stir as he awoke from his deep slumber. He sat up and began rubbing the sleep from his eyes as he started reaching around to get familiar with his surroundings. "I don't remember sleeping on the couch" said the young stallion as he reached for the covers. He let out a sign as his hooves found nothing but couch. "Great I slept walk down here without my covers" he said as turned over to see if it was on the floor. The floor was cold to the touch and the covers were nowhere to be found but he noticed something else. The floor was made of wood paneling. "Must have passed out at my friends house before I walked home."

The sounds of hoof steps echoed around the room as the stallion layed back down. "Guess my friend is up making food...i hope he makes pancakes cause I'm starving" thought the stallion got comfortable again. By how much sun was filtering in thru his eye lids he guessed it had to be around lunch time. "I need to get up so i can head home and sleep in my own bed...actually...i don't think it would hurt anything for me to sleep a FEW more minutes." he murmured to himself as he turned over and tried to go back to sleep since he had already started to warm up without the covers.

"Looks like somepony decided to wake up finally." said a voice from behind him. "Yeah, we thought you were going to end up sleeping the entire day" said another voice. The young stallion rubbed his eyes and sat up with an annoyed look on his face. He knew he had heard that voice somewhere before and he was trying to remember where. "I guess my friend turned on the tv or something" he thought

"What’s wrong? Did you have a bad dream or something?” said the female voice. "Probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed" said the male voice giggling with laughter. "Cut it out spike that's not funny" said the female voice. The red pony's eyes snapped open and strained to see the figures talking to him. The light from outside blinded him forcing his eyes closed again as tears started to run down his cheek.

"Spike, And...Twilight?" said the stallion with that look of annoyance still on his face. He finally opened his eyes and began to stare at Twilight and Spike as they stood staring back at him. A smile formed on the stallions face as his vision started to clear. "Oh I see I'm still asleep" he began looking around the room. "Really realistic dream though." he said as his eyes once again landed on twilight and spike. Both had expressions of confusion and staring at each other.

"Ok then...I'm not an expert, although i have read a lot of books about dreams, but i don't think this is a dream since your eyes are open and you’re talking to us" said Twilight as she tilted her head to the side. The red stallion’s eyes widened "No… no this has to be a dream". He looked worryingly towards Spike and Twilight.

"Well I have no clue where you came from but last night I got up to get me some water and you were on my couch sound asleep, we thought you were a robber or something but we couldn't get you to wake up to ask you any questions so i had Owlicious watch you until we woke up" said Twilight motioning to herself and Spike as she stepped closer to him. Owlicious hooted and flew behind Twilight to his stand to get some sleep.

"T...This can't be real, it HAS to be a dream" the pony said before jumping off the couch. As he landed his feet slid out from under him causing him to slam into the floor with a loud bang. "ow" groaned the pony as he tried to get his feet back under himself "it does feel like it's real" he said to himself as he looked at the bruise on his leg. "Careful you're going to hurt yourself" said Twilight as she edged closer with growing concern.

The red stallion got up onto his hooves finally, though he was struggling to keep his feet from flying out from under him again. After a few seconds of fighting against even he eventually found his footing and quickly turned around and began to run. He looked over his shoulder to see if they were going to follow and that's when he slammed into the bookshelf at full speed.

Twilight walked up to the pony now passed out under a small pile of books. "Ugh what a stupid pony...Spike can you clean this up while I go get Apple Jack and Rarity to help me with him" she motioned at the stunned pony as she walked out of the library. "Got it but what do I do with him?" said spike as he started pickup up books, "Let me put a sleeping spell on him so he doesn't wake up until we are ready to deal with him." said Twilight as her horn began to glow.

The red pony levitated out from under the books and back onto the couch and was instantly in a deep sleep. "There now ill be back in a little bit but keep an eye on him just in case, okay?" she said as she shut the door. Spike sighed and started pick up the mess, "Why do I always get stuck with the messes she helps make."
