Gilda, The Sky's The Limit

Luna woke up but not in the real world. She woke up in what appeared to be an open field that had hundreds of ponies asleep and dreaming. Luna walked a for a bit a saw that whenever she got close to a pony, a door would appear right beside them, allowing her to enter their dreams and thoughts. But Luna was looking for Gilda's thoughts.
"If this is a dream then maybe I can..." Luna thought about Gilda and she started to appear in front of her, though it was just an image. "Damn it! Looks like I’ll have to search everywhere for her thoughts." Luna let out an annoyed sigh.
"The more time I spend talking to myself, the more time I waste." said Luna as she started searching.

Looking around she saw the dreams of everyone in canterlot at first but that was at first. As she continued to search for Gilda's thoughts, more and more dreams started to appear. Luna started to get rather annoyed by this.
"Okay Luna thinks about this. Where would Gilda be." as she said that a shadowy figure appeared.
"I can be of assistance to you Miss Luna." he bowed to Luna. "Who are you exactly?" asked Luna, curious as to who this was or what he might be. "Well there are the royal sisters that control the sun and moon so I guess I’m the brother to the crown. Names nirvana." Luna was surprised. "So your my brother?!" exclaimed Luna. "No I was the brother of royal siblings before you and before them so in a way I am your brother. Though this is the first time anyone has seen me in quite a while." said nirvana.
"What about my sister princess Celestia? Doesn’t she see you?" nirvana moved his head in disagreement.
"I’ll help you find Gilda's thoughts. she needs you a lot at the moment." with a swing of his horn, Luna and nirvana teleported near what appeared to be a hospital."

They entered the hospital and saw many dreaming ponies though they seemed at pain with themselves.
"I look after those that suffer from there thought and dreams. I've seen families suffer because of a child's simple nightmare but I've seen death brought upon by one's thoughts." he sighed. "This is Gilda's room right here." the doors opened and they walked inside. Luna saw Gilda on her bed and ran over. “How is she doing?" asked Luna.
Nirvana sighed. "Not well. If it wasn't for you visiting her at the hospital, she would have died by now." said nirvana. He handed something to Luna. "This key opens up her thoughts so you can enter them. I would go but I've got other things to do for now." nirvana went off. Luna used the key and opened the door to Gilda's thoughts. "Here goes nothing." Luna went into Gilda's thoughts.

She entered into Gilda's thoughts and saw open plains as far as the eye can see, a sunset in the horizon and a full moon as well with the stars out. "So these are Gilda's thoughts? I was expecting something else but this is nice." thought Luna. She started to fly for a bit but not to high so she wouldn’t crash. She saw in the distance a Pegasus and checked to see who it was. She was blue and had a rainbow mane. "Wait. Is this the rainbow dash that's always in the letters? It couldn’t be." Luna went up to her. "Excuse me." Luna said to the rainbow haired Pegasus. "Hi there. What’s with you?" she asked.
"Well I’m looking for someone called Gilda. I was wondering if you knew where she was." asked Luna.
"Oh she's sick. I can take you to her if you want?" she asked.
"Thanks. What’s your name?" asked Luna. "Name’s Rainbow dash. Now follow me." dash took off and Luna followed at a much slower pace.

They travelled for about an hour now and Luna started to realize something about Gilda from this.
She was expecting Gilda's mind to be much more rough and loud but it was gentle and quite. "What was Gilda like to you rainbow?" asked Luna.
"She was really nice once I got to know her, though she used to be all tough and stuff. It made her a brute and I think she knows that." said Rainbow dash. "Besides, she really likes you Luna." rainbow smiled at Luna while Luna herself gave a smile back as well. "I like her as well but what about you and Gilda?" asked Luna. Celestia had said something a while back about an old friend of rainbow dash returning to pony vile but not much was said. "We were close, kind of like sisters." she sighed and saddened. "Well here we are." they landed outside a small, rundown house that had hole through the roof.
"Is this her home?" asked Luna.
"Where she lived growing up if that's what you mean, then yes. Now I’m going to go off for a bit." rainbow dash flew off and Luna entered the house.

The outside looked like a wreak but the inside was much worse. It was cold and damp, there was no furniture, the paint on the walls peeling off and there were multiple holes in the walls. Luna headed up stairs and looked into one of the rooms to see Gilda awake and stretching her wings. Gilda saw Luna and smiled. "Hi there Luna. I haven't seen you in a while." she was very happy to see Luna, though maybe too happy. "Gilda when was the last time you saw me?" asked Luna.
"Yesterday, why?" she replied. "Do you remember the incident with discord?" asked Luna. Gilda nodded.
"You’ve been in hospital for about a week now in a coma." Gilda got confused by this.
"No I’m not. Discord didn't hurt me at all." Luna sighed. "He did hurt you. He blew off one of your wings. This is a dream right now. You know me Gilda, I wouldn’t lie to you and you know It." said Luna. She hated telling her about her wings.
"Prove this is a dream and I’ll wake up." Gilda moved closer to Luna. "What are you doing Gilda?" said Luna.
"This." Gilda placed her beck on Luna's muzzle. Luna's eye's shot open as her mind went all over the place but then her eye's started to close shut. Luna broke the kiss. "I love you Gilda." Gilda moved back a bit. "Now I know this is a dream. I’ll wake up now but when I wake up, I’ll have seen this as a dream." Luna saddened. "So you won't remember this at all?"
Gilda nodded. Before Luna could ask something else everything started to break and she woke.

Luna got out of her bed and went straight to the hospital. She wanted to see Gilda wake up and nothing would stop her.
After a couple of minutes, she made it to the hospital and went to Gilda's room. She hadn't woken up yet.
"I’m glad you’re here Luna. Gilda's mental state has improved quite a deal since I last checked on her." said the doctor.
"That’s wonderful!" exclaimed Luna. Gilda's breathing started to increase in speed.
"She’s waking up. I’ll leave you 2 for a bit call me back in if there's a serious problem. The doctor went off.

Luna knelled besides Luna bed. Gilda eye's started to open. To Gilda, everything was blurry. She couldn’t see what was in front of her though she recognized the voice. It was Luna's voice. "Luna is that you?" asked Gilda.
"It’s me Gilda." she held Gilda's claw. "I’m here for you Gilda, whatever you need." said Luna.
Gilda felt a pain in her back. She checked her back and couldn’t feel one of her wings. "Where’s my wing?!" Gilda started to get stressed and worried. Luna tried to carm her down. She stroked the back of her head. "Gilda you've been asleep for a week after the discord incident. When you saved me but you lost one of your wings in the process... and I’m sorry."
Gilda was confused. "What are you sorry for? Gilda was still stressed but she kept a carm mind when Luna was helping her like this. "You’re probably a bit light headed from all of this. I’ll take you back to the castle." Gilda nodded but she seemed scared for some reason. "Thanks Luna. Can I ask a favour though?" asked Gilda in almost a whisper. "Sure Gilda." Luna said in a caring tone. "Do you mind if I sleep in your room tonight?" Luna was confused as to why Gilda was so scared but she smiled.
"Of course Gilda." Luna didn't ask any more questions and brought Gilda back to the castle.

The journey back was rather slow. Most of the time Gilda would fly everywhere so she's wasn't that much of walker so Luna kept by her side the way back. "Thanks for being there when I woke up. To be honest I thought no one cared enough to bother but you did and I owe you for that." Gilda smiled at Luna. "You don't owe me anything. You would have done the same thing. Besides I want to ask you something tomorrow." they approached the castle and Luna took Gilda into her room.

"Thanks Luna. I don't want to be alone tonight." Gilda went on her back but immediately shot upwards from the pain in her back. "I’m gonna have to get used to that." said Gilda. She sighed. And went into the bed again with Luna. They both went to sleep with Luna being happy and Gilda being worried for her future. She couldn’t fly and to her that was everything.
What was going to happen to her now? She moved closer to Luna and smiled. "At least I have you." Gilda went to sleep and started dreaming about what she usually dreamed off: her old life in clouds dale.
