Hello everypony this is XshadowwriterzX and welcome to the next chapter of like a dream, im still accepting OC's so send em in if ya want one in the story, remember to leave reviews so I can know what you guys think about my story
chapter 3: the dream
I woke up, stretched and looked around I was still in the library but no one was here, not even Spike.
"is anyone here?" I say as I look around starting to worry about Twilight and Spike usually someones always here.
"you are not awake Andrew" I turn around and see Luna, but I cant let her know I know her name, or what she is.
"hello, who are you and what do you mean im not awake sure feels like im awake" she lands next to me im about the same height as her, im almost eye level with her but she's still taller than me.
" I am Princess Luna, I came into your dream to tell you my sister wishes to speak with you, and Andrew I know you knew who I was" I was shocked, can she read my mind?
"yes I can Andrew, and I know where you come from and what happens there, for I was the one who brought you here" why would Luna bring me here? Of all places I could have gone why does it have to be the place of my dreams?
"ok, but that still doesn't explain why you brought me here Luna" she gestures to what looks like a screen and I see the plane, but from the outside, I see it landing at New York, then out of nowhere comes a huge Boeing 747 and it rams into my plane crushing it and killing me.
"so I would have dies if you didn't bring me here" she out in the distance I see something but I cant make it out as it comes towards me in the dream.
"Luna whats that coming this way, it looks like an Alicorn your height" she turns around and looks back at me.
"oh that's CJ he has the ability to come into dreams like me I guess he wanted to meet you too" after she says this CJ comes up behind her and walks around to see me. He looks like he's shocked about seeing me.
"Andrew is that really you?" wait, that voice could it be? The name seems familiar too.
"CJ? THE CJ I know, man you died about a year ago, what happened to you?" he seems confused about me being a human when he's an Alicorn.
"hey Andrew how are you a human, when I died I came here and was turned into an Alicorn" now its his turn to be surprised.
"Luna transported me here to stop me from being killed" he looks to Luna and she gestures once again to the screen to show him the same thing.
"wow, so you would have been crushed had she not brought you here" Luna just nods her head in response.
"yep, so Luna you said Celestia wanted to speak with me?"
"yes she wants to give the chance to be a pony, word has already been sent to Twilight so when you wake up you will be sent strait to the throne room"
"when will I wake?" she opens what looks like some kind of portal.
"walk into that and you will awake" before I walk into the portal and look at CJ.
"it was nice seeing you again CJ, I hope to see you today" I walked into the portal and then awoke on the bed, well halfway on the bed I was almost on the floor.
"well that was an interesting dream" I look around and see Twilight coming down the stairs holding a scroll in her magic.
"Andrew says here that Celestia wants to speak with you, do you know what that's all about?"
"yeah Luna visited my dream, I know what Celestia wants" Twilight seems to be shocked that Luna visited my dream.
"ok well this letter says to bring you once you wake so I guess we should get going" she beckons me over to her and when I get close all I see is white and her a magic discharge and I know we are in the throne room once I hear.
"ah, Andrew I was wishing to speak to you, I trust you knew because my sister visited you in your sleep" I turn around bow and stand straight, even though im 6 FT Celestia still towers over me at around 8 ft.
"yes princess, what is it you wanted to know?" she looks at me sternly I know shes not joking and is getting down to business.
" I know where you come from, I know what you are, I must warn you though, looking like a human, you may cause unrest and mass panic at how you look" ok I know whats coming I just don't know how to take it.
" I also know you know more about my world than you let on, but I am giving you a choice, stay a human and get the ponies to trust you in this form or get turned into a pony" I was expecting it but I didn't know it would shock me like it did.
" I will give you until Luna raises the moon tomorrow, go and think about your choice" with that she teleported us back to the library.
"well Andrew what do you think your going to do?" I just look at Twilight and say nothing for a few minutes then I hear the door open and in walks CJ.
"Andrew hey I heard about what Celestia told you, man it would be awesome to have you as a pony, not sure if you would be an Alicorn though"
" I don't know what im going to be, or if she even gives me a choice about what I will be or if the spell chooses for me, hey Twilight im going to head out and hopefully try and find some work" she looks up from her book only for a moment and says
"alright Andrew be safe" as she says this I think about what im going to do for a job, I could be a DJ to earn bits, I mean come on Vinyl does it but would I be able too?
"Hey CJ you know anywhere looking for a worker?"
"no I don't, but I saw how Vinyl was looking at you, you might want to go talk to her before you go job hunting" I just look up at him, CJ never was taller than me which its so weird seeing him taller than me.
"alright ill go see her, and CJ" he turns around and looks at me.
"who are you dating?" he just looks at me and smiles.
"who was my favorite?" ok now I know he's dating someone but who was his favor- (GASP)
"your dating rainbow dash?!" he just smiles and walks away. ok this is weird new how did he do that? Well ill worry about that later, I got to go to Vinyl's house to talk to her. Once I get to her door I start having second doubts about doing it. But my subconscious has other ideas as I find myself knocking on her door. She opens the door after a few seconds and just stand there.
"hey Andrew, what you here for?" I blush as she says this I don't know why.
"hey Vinyl, do you know when.. uh, hearts and hooves day is?" she blushes and I think I know why.
"yeah, its in two weeks, why did you want to know, found that special somepony already?" why did I ask that!? Especially her!
"um, kinda, hey Vinyl" she looks at me with her brow raised.
"yeah?" she starts to blush, but I am too.
"would you do me the honor of bringing you (gulp) on a date for hearts and hooves day?" I expect her to slap me and I flinch from instinct, but the slap never comes.
"sure man, I don't see why not, and I think your cute" now im starting to worry, does Vinyl actually like me? What am I going to do for a job to get bits so I can bring her on a date? ok Andrew calm down you have two weeks to get enough bits to bring her on a date. I get down on one knee and reach out for a hug but she surprises me by kissing me, just a small peck but ok the lips.
"alright, thank you Vinyl, hey do you know of a place I can get some work to get bits?" she thinks for a moment before saying.
"yeah I think AJ is looking for work down on her farm and when Pinkie has a party I think you could do some DJ work around here" she points over to sweet apple acres and then at sugercube corner as she says this.
"alright thanks Vinyl, I guess ill see you later?" why do I always blush when im around her, but as of now I know what my choice is going to be when I go to Celestia tomorrow, im going to have her turn me into a pony so it wont be that weird being seen with Vinyl.
"alright see you later CJ, bye" she closes the door and I start off towards sweet apples acres. After a few minutes of walking I finally reach the apple family house, I look over and see Big Mac coming towards me.
"hey Big Mac is AJ here?"
"eeyup"
"can you show me?"
"eeyup" he points over towards some apple trees on the edge of the tree line.
"thanks Big Mac" I say as I walk away.
"eeyup" I see he's a stallion of few words. As I get closer to the tree line I hear AJ bucking trees and the apples falling into the baskets.
"hey AJ you need any help around here?" she looks up surprised I'm here as its my second day here.
"well yeah sugercube ah need these baskets of apples brought to the barn if ya wouldn't mind" I pick up a basket and start for the barn but I look back and say.
"hey AJ would it be possible for me to get a permanent job here?" she looks up and thinks for a moment.
"well ah don't see why not, just talk to me when we're done here" its hard work, I know its just baskets of apples but after the 100th one it sarts to get a bit tedious of a job, but ill manage for the time being. I worked until AJ called for me to stop after the next few baskets.
"alright that's the last of em AJ" she walks me over to the house and gives me a pouch with 50 bits in it.
"hey sugercube you said you wanted a permanent job here?" I almost forgot about that.
"yeah I need a job around here if im going to be living here, and maybe after tomorrow ill be able to help you with more than just bringing the apples to the barn" she looks at me confused.
"what do ya mean, ya don't look like ya can apple-buck" I just look at her with a small smile on my face.
"i said after tomorrow, somethings going to happen and ill be able to apple-buck with you" I leave AJ with a confused look on her face as I go to Twilight's library and get in bed, its only around 6 but im going to need my sleep for the next few days if im going to be helping Applejack on the farm. After a few minutes of laying there I drift off to sleep.
