It was just a wonderful sunny day in the town of Ponyville, Twilight and I had fallen in love and we were in a wonderfully developed relationship. She was looking at me with the most beautiful smile I had ever seen, her piercing gaze locked with mine, we stared at each other for the longest time before her mouth opened, but the words that came out weren’t hers, as if a demon or something had possessed her.

“You fool, you thought that you would be able to save these miserable ponies from what they should have gotten so long ago.” the unnatural voice said before the form of Twilight shifted to that of the very enemy I was sworn to protect Equestria from... Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings.

I tried to shield myself from a sudden blast of energy that had should have struck a field of protective energy, but instead, all that happened was my body had been wracked with intense pain. “Looking for these?” the changeling chuckled evilly as she held my enchanted dogtags in her magic, before casting them aside and hitting me again with a painful spell, leaving me paralized as she began using a spell common amongst changelings, but for some reason, I felt more than just my love being drained, but my own life force as well, I tried to cry for help, but I was silenced by my weakness.

“No!” I nearly screeched at the top of my lungs as I bolted upright, accidentally startling Twilight to full awakeness, causing her to nearly fall out of bed.

Twilight immediately recovered after having shaken off the scare and looked me in the eyes, but I immediately backed away, falling out of the bed and scooting to the wall, cowering in fear as I looked away from her. not thinking clearly after having the living daylights scared out of me by a nightmare that made me believe that Twilight wasn’t really who she said she was.

“Mist, what’s wrong?” Twilight tried to ask calmly, but I gave no response as I tried to look for an escape as she drew near.

“D-don’t come any closer!” I nearly shouted, causing Twilight to look at me with a confused look.

“Mist, snap out of it, I’m not going to hurt you.” she spoke up a little as she continued getting closer.

"No!" I cried out, trembling endlessly with fear. "Stay back!"

“Wake up Mist! It was just a dream!” Twilight had begun shouting, gripping me in her magic and attempting to shake me out of my frightened state

“Get away from me!” I screeched, causing Twilight to look at me with a fixed glare as she slapped me across the face with her telekinesis, snapping me out of my nightmare induced behavior. I shook my head and looked Twilight in the eyes, tears welling up in my eyes as I ran to the lavender alicorn and threw my forelegs around her. “I-I’m sorry… I’m so… so sorry… I… I wasn’t...:” I tried to apologize but was cut off as Twilight interrupted me, hugging me tightly.

“Shhh… It’s alright… I’m here Mist, just take your time.” She said as she held me close as I buried my face into her shoulder.

After a moment of silence and tears, I looked up at the mare. “I-it was…”

“Just let me look.” she said as she touched her horn to my forehead, diving once more into my body and quickly finding the nightmare, watiching it play through entirely, the nightmare playing before me as she watched. “Oh, Mist… Is this what scared you so badly?” she asked from within me. “I can promise you that this will never happen.” she said as she tore the dream to shreds and dispelled them from my mind and receded back into her own body and hugged me tightly once more.

“Thank you.” I whimpered as I returned the embrace, burying my face into her shoulder once more as I lightly cried, not in fear or sadness, but relief.

A few more moments later, I had fully calmed down from my nightmare. I looked out the window to see that it was still quite dark outside. “C’mon… let’s get back to bed.” I said with a yawn as I climbed into bed. “It’s still very dark outside and I am still very tired.”

“Agreed.” Twilight said as she slipped into bed beside me, laying her head back in the crook of my neck as I laid my head over hers and placed my wing over her as with before, and pulled the covers back up over us. Even though I could no longer remember the dream, one thing still bothered me… Why did I have that dream in the first place?

“Hey, Twi?” I said softly.

“Hmm?” The alicorn replied

“Tomorrow, I need you to go with me to Canterlot to speak with the princesses about that dream, since you would be the only one to remember it now and you would be able to tell them about it.” I stated.

“Why?” she asked curiously.

“There’s something about it that’s bothering me, as to why I had it in the first place and I want to get some answers.” I replied bluntly.

“I see, Luna would be the one to talk to about that.” Twilight stated.

“Right, well… let’s try to get some more sleep for now, until the sun comes up or when you wake me.” I replied.

“Of course.” she said as she nuzzled my chin with an almost loving affection, which I returned just as affectionately. “Goodnight Mist.”

“Goodnight Twilight.” I replied before I drifted off once more.

‘Why would Mist have such a nightmare? Could it be Chrysalis messing with his mind? I don’t know, but if this is bothering him even after I forced him to forget, then this really will need to be brought before Luna and Celestia.’ Twilight thought before joining me in a restful sleep, letting all unresolved issues go for the rest of the night.
