The occasion nightmare would show up but Lance would deal with it in a merciless manner. He walked into his kitchen turning on his coffee maker waiting for a nice hot cup of coffee to help wake him up. He smiled pouring himself a cup coffee was always the best in the morning. Before he could even take his first sip a letter appeared in a bright flash only one pony would send him a letter in this way. "Luna..." He said smiling as he opened the letter and began reading. "To my love, Lance I am happy to ask you to be my date for the Winter Festival Ball I would be honored to have you by me during the longest night of the year. Please go to ponyville and visit a mare named Rarity to have a suit made. She is the best of the best trust me. Love, Luna" "Well I guess that coffee will have to wait I got a train to catch." Lance said with a smile as he began to pack his things even his nightmare removal kit which had 6 syringes and a vile of sleeping tonic. "I guess there is work to do as well." He said with a smile. Lance made it to ponyville in relative comfort even though he road in coach. He never liked living how his salary dictated he was rich but he didn't flaunt it like the other Canterlot "Elite" did. a few ponies stared at Lance knowing who he was or because of his snow white coat of fur making him look as if he was made of snow. That was until you saw his blue eyes and black cutie mark. "Mister why do you look so sad?" A little filly asked. Lance was about to answer when the parent grabbed their kid and moved them away from him. "Do not talk to my child you filthy commoner." The mother scoffed walking back to first class. Lance only sighed. Lance saw ponyville come into view and got ready to depart he walked through first class and saw the ponies look at him turning their noses to the sky like they always did. Lance flared his magic absorbing their fears and nightmares his coat turned pure black he smiled to them all. "Enjoy your dreams everyone." He said walking out and off the train. He sat on the bench slowly drifting off to sleep he quickly terminated the nightmares and awoke to his snow fur smiling. "Now lets find this Rarity mare I need a suit." He said as he walked in the freezing cold towards a carousel. Lance walked in hearing a bell ring. "Just a minute." The voice said frantically. There was a loud crash and what sounded like a chainsaw then a white mare came walking out her purple mane bouncing happily. "Yes what can I do for you sir?" She asked calmly even though she looked sleep deprived. "The better question is can I help with your nightmare?"Lance asked calmly. The mare looked shocked that he knew she was having nightmares. "I'm sorry my name is Lance Nightmare and I need a-" Lance was almost done when she gasped. "THE Lance Nightmare from Canterlot the leading authority on nightmare removal. That Lance Nightmare?" She asked frantic at meeting Lance. "Yes though I normally only go by Lance. Would you like some help Miss Rarity?" He asked with a bow. She giggled but then stopped. "What about payment?" She asked concerned Lance only smiled. "I came to get a suit for the Winter Festival Ball I will pay the difference between the suit and the nightmare removal." He said with a smile I just need you to lay down so we can begin." Before he even finished his sentence Rarity had summoned a couch he rolled his eyes and opened his kit he pulled out a syringe and filled it with the liquid he injected it into her arm and waited for her to fall asleep. he smiled as he quickly cast the spell entering her dream he pulled the nightmare out and walked up to her. "Rarity you need to not let the stress of work get to you it will start showing on your coat." He said with a smile as he disappeared waking up he looked in a mirror seeing a black splotch over his right eye. she slowly woke up as well seeing the mark. "What happened to your eye Lance?" She asked calmly with a tinge of concern. "Remember what I told you in your dream this is what happens when I work it shows the nightmare I took on my coat." Lance said with a smile. "Now I need my suit to match a certain someone." He said blushing lightly. He leaned over to Rarity and whispered to her. "Princess Luna but don't tell anyone it's a surprise." he leaned away with a smile. "Can do I'm working on her dress right now it won't take long come back in two days it should be done by then." She said with a smile "What about my payment?" She asked but Lance waved his hoof dismissing it. He turned around and walked out of the boutique with a smile. Heavy FearThe Magic A Dream Can Create Heavy Fear By: Major Frostwing Lance walked the streets of ponyville it was a quiet little tone maybe Luna and himself could move here one day. Lance in his town gazing ran into somepony. "I am terribly sorry about that." Lance replied there was a loud gasp and the pony he ran into ran off in a puff of smoke. Lance was confused by this but dismissed it calmly. "What was that?" He asked continuing to walk around town he stopped at a a giant tree it had a sign that said library. He knocked on the door and it slammed open startling Lance. "Hello?" He asked concerned. "Come in..." A groggy voice said from inside it sounded horrifying. Lance walked in to see a Twilight Sparkle face down on a desk. "Twilight is that you?" Lance asked she looked up to see Lance she ran up hugging him. "Lance it has been so long how has your work been going?" She asked now in a happy state but Lance could tell she was tired. "Do you need a book on nightmares?" She asked looking around frantically. "Twilight I wrote most of the books on Nightmare study you know that." He said but Twilight didn't listen he sighed pulling out a syringe and injecting her in the neck with the serum she collapsed in a heep Spike saw this happen and charged Lance but slammed into a magic shield Lance looked back to him and smiled as he cast his spell on Twilight stealing her nightmare but it was filled with such pain and sorrow it turned most of his legs black. Lance felt sick "She will be fine when she awakes. All I did was take her nightmare." Lance said as he fell over two nightmares in a row really tanks on the mind and body. "Think he will be alright dear?" A voice said sounded familiar. "Spike tried two buckets of water and nothing." Said another voice Lance opened his eyes slowly to see a bucket of water splash on him. "What the buck! Why water you could have just nudged me." Lance said annoyed the water was freezing he still felt light headed but he needed to move to shake off the feeling but then he noticed them all six of them. "Ok I know Twilight and Rarity who is everyone else?" Lance asked. The rainbow maned mare was annoyed "How dare you not know the fastest flier in Equestria and Future Wonder Bolt. Rainbow Dash." She said cockily Lance looked at her flatly. "Mah name is AppleJack I run Sweet Apple Acres." The Orange Mare said with a smile. "Pinkie Pie I should hold a party for you for not being dead and surviving whatever it is that happened to you and a welcome party." The Pink Mare bounced around Lance which made him more dizzy. The last mare a yellow mare with pink hair just hid behind Twilight. "So let me get this straight." He pointed to Rainbow. "Nightmares about not being the best." He said as he pointed at Applejack next. "Nightmares on not being able to support your family." He shifted to Pinkie Pie. "I won't say because it will make you sad." He said with a frown he then shifted to Fluttershy. "Your nightmare would kill me." He said calmly. They all looked at him shocked. "Girls let me introduce Lance Nightmare he is the leading authority on the study of nightmares his talent is taking of nightmare and disposing of them." Twilight said calmly. four syringes stuck into Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Lance smiled watching them fall asleep he activated his spell stealing their nightmares but something was painful about this his coat turned pure black and blood streamed from his nose he coughed a pool of crimson. Twilight looked at him shocked "Ow ow ow." Lance said trying to compose himself but was failing he felt the world around him darken and then a loud slam. What had just happened. "Lance... LANCE!" Were the last words he heard from Twilight. Hospital FearThe Magic A Dream Can Create Hospital Fear By: Major Frostwing Lance awoke in a hospital bed surrounded by machines and doctors making sure he was still alive when they noticed he was alive they left the room to inform the next of kin or the people on his emergency contacts. "Guess I over did it." Lance said with a chuckle which hurt. "You can say that again my love." A voice said from the shadows. Lance had gotten used to this but didn't let it show that it still startled him. "What did I say about using that spell on multiple sleeping ponies at one time?" She asked angrily. "Not to do it because the nightmare's power is greatly increased on a sleeping pony." Lance said in a defeated tone he looked to her and smiled. "How did you find out?" Lance asked with a smile. "Twilight sent a letter to my sister explaining the situation. I decided to come when you stopped dreaming." She said as she walked up and kissed him gently his mouth still tasted like copper. "Thank you Luna." Lance said as he heard the door begin to open he sat there rigid at them almost getting caught kissing. "See I told you he would be f... Princess Luna?" Twilight said from delight to confusion. "Why are you here Princess?" Twilight asked confused. Luna was about to answer but Lance stopped her he smiled to them. "Luna and myself share the same type of tact for dreams and nightmares we converse about it at times. Plus she got word of what happened and decided to come scold me for my ignorance." Lance said winking at Luna subtlety she blushed. "So how long have I been out?" he asked looking at all of them worried. "Did I miss the ball?" he asked and they shook their heads no. "You been out fer three days pardner." Applejack said calmly. "Thought you were gonna be worm food when we saw all the blood. are you sure yer ok?" She asked worried. "Yea I'm fine just need to dispose of the nightmares then my coat will return to normal." He said waving a dismissive hoof. "Now I really have to throw you a glad your not worm food party." Pinkie said with a smile. Lance chuckled at her way of thinking. "I would rather it be called something else but you are planning the party so you can name it bananas if you want." Lance said with a smile. "Now that I think about it I can name it whatever I want Bananas sounds good ooh ooh maybe apples so Applejack can cook up some apple pie." Pinkie said walking out the door. Lance sighed. "Something bothering you Lance?" Asked the midnight blue Alicorn Lance only smiled to her. "I just can't keep up with her is all she would run me ragged if I tried to keep up with her sugar induced hyperactivity." He said looking down at his black coat. 'I want to go back to my white coat this black one has bad memories attached to it.' Lance said to himself he tried to look happy but something far more dangerous was bothering him a nightmare he couldn't shake but didn't show more like a prophecy. "Oh darling I forgot." Rarity said which roused everyponies attention. "I finished your suit. The normal price would be 5,000 bits but I won't ta-." Lance had already written a check and handed it to her she looked at it and gasped. "495,000 b-b-bits!" She felt weak and fainted without summoning her couch. Everypony looked at him shocked. "What I'm rich I just don't flaunt it like the other Canterlot elite." Lance said crossing his arms Luna giggled which made Lance smile. How We All LookThe Magic A Dream Can Create How We All Look By: Major Frostwing Lance was trying on his suit he loved it it was a black with an intricate white moon scrawled across the side with a dark blue accent around the cuffs. "Rarity this was worth every bit." Lance said looking at himself in the mirror if he had his black coat you couldn't tell he was wearing a suit beside the moon design. "Where did you learn to do this kind of work?" Lance asked looking back at her. "I taught myself darling." She said with a gentle smile. "But why did you pay so much for it?" She asked Lance smiled. "I told you I would pay the difference between the two the nightmare and the suit I normally charge a lot because the people I treat are extremely rich I used to charge less until my work was recognized." He smiled. "Might as well get paid for my suffering." Lance said as he straightened his tie. "Suffer?" Rarity said quizzically. "You mean your coat?" she asked confused as to what he meant. "I would take a nightmare and then suffer with it until I learned to dispose of them I rarely slept and drank a lot just so I could sleep." Lance said walking towards her. "Don't tell Twilight she would worry about me nonstop if she knew." Lance said with a smile. "Thank you again Rarity I need to be going I have to go see Luna to show her the suit." Lance said and in a snap of darkness he was gone. Lance appeared in Luna's bedroom she looked over at him smiling. "So my love how do I look?" Lance said doing a little spin she smiled at him walking up and kissing him tenderly on the lips Lance returned the kiss happily. They slowly pulled apart both blushing. "I take it you like it?" Lance asked sarcastically. Luna only smiled and kissed him again. "I love it Lance." Luna said calmly. "I still can believe you paid Rarity so much for it." She said disbelieving but still smiling. "Ah who cares that money has just been cluttering my bank for years now need to get rid of it somehow." Lance said with a dismissive wave of his hoof. "Tomorrow is the ball I can't wait Lance." She said though she frowned. Lance put a hoof under her chin looking at her smiling. "We can make this work Luna Trust me." Lance beamed as he kissed her for the final time today. "I will see you tomorrow Luna to walk with you into the ball." Lance said calmly as he disappeared in a snap of darkness. Luna sighed seeing her lover leave one day maybe they can be together not just in secret. Lance appeared in ponyville but not even a second after he appeared he was tackled by a pink blur. "Hiya Lance are your ready to party. cuz I am ready to PARTAY!" Pinkie yelled and squealed bouncing around happily Lance couldn't even recover from the happy assault could only laugh. "Yes I'm ready to party lets go PARTY!" Lance yelled running with her to sugarcube corner. Lance was happy by the surprise party but was more surprise that people were happy to see him. "Pinkie had to name it Apples of The Nightmare didn't she?" Lance asked smiling as he took a drink of his cider. They sighed. "At least it is good business for you and Applejack." Twilight said with a smile. Lance sighed when he saw her blush at him. "Twilight I told you before I won't say it again." Lance said coldly she looked down brokenhearted Rainbow dash took up the defensive for her friend. "What the buck is wrong with you?" Rainbow Dash asked in a low growl. Lance didn't flinch at this he only finished his drink. "Answer me you jerk." She yelled at him. "Have Twilight tell you she has a better explanation than me." Lance said as he stood up. "Now if you excuse me I have to prepare for tomorrow." Lance said with a bow. He turned around and walked out of the party without many ponies noticing he left. "Tell us sugarcube what happened between you two?" Applejack asked calmly but still curious. Twilight sighed. "I asked him out yesterday but he turned me down said he was already dating someone he was polite about it but Lance was never a person to repeat himself. That's why he was cold earlier." Twilight said calmly. "You asked him to the Winter Festival Ball didn't you Darling." Rarity asked she only nodded calmly. "He is going with Luna." Rarity said sadly. That statement shocked everyone Lance was going with Luna. "They do have the same talent Darling dream walking is a rare talent so they must be very good friends." Rarity said trying to prove a point. "That's true but I still wonder who he is dating?" Twilight said with a frown but then it hit her. "No way that's not possible." She said running off to find Lance there were answers she needed. Author's Note The story finale is almost complete get ready your all gonna love this. Fear of DiscoveryThe Magic A Dream Can Create The Fear Of Discovery. By: Major Frostwing Lance was back at his hotel room drinking more than he was used to. "Why do I have to be such a bucking fool." The unicorn said finishing his drink he began to pour himself another drink calmly. "I could have been more polite... And not made them look at me like I was a freak." Lance said as he felt the tears well up he then heard a knocking noise he turned around to see Luna tapping her foot apparently she had been there a while. "I'm sorry my love You shouldn't have to see me like this a drunken fool crying from his own idiocy. he said calmly wiping away his tears Luna walked up wrapping him in a gentle hug Lance slowly returned the hug tears streaming down his face he felt horrible for how he acted tonight. Luna hummed a little tune to Lance it was so calming and beautiful it made him relax but it might have been the alcohol. He slowly drifted off to sleep. "Sleep tight my love and I will see you tomorrow." Luna said with a smile as she disappeared into the shadows Lance was sleeping soundly on the bed. What both of them failed to notice was a pink fluff hidden listening to both of their conversation she silently left the home to tell her friends Twilight especially. Lance awoke the next morning groggily he looked around noticing he was in his hotel room he rubbed his head standing up he opened his door to be assaulted by flashes from cameras and press ponies. Lance slammed the door open and teleported away to Twilight's Library. "Twilight I hope you are here I got a big problem." Lance said annoyed at this new development. Twilight walked towards him stopping in front of him. "Twilight are you o-" Lance was suddenly assaulted by Twilight the force of the hoof slamming into his face threw him back slightly but Lance didn't fight back he wouldn't even if she continued. "Why...?" Twilight said as Lance heard her anger rise. "I have known you longer Lance why did you choose Luna?" She looked u tears in her eyes. "YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOU WILL DIE BEFORE SHE DOES SO WHY HER!" She yelled tears finally streaming down her face Lance didn't look up. "ANSWER ME!" She demanded as she walked up hitting him again. Lance took each hit until there was a loud boom. Luna had arrived looking for Lance when she saw what was going on her anger exploded but before she could even begin to yell. "Don't Luna let her get it out she will feel better when she does." Lance said calmly he was smiling even though his eye was black from the first hit. Luna backed down but she didn't want to watch Twilight hit him effectively for 3 minutes straight all in the process Lance was sapping her of her new nightmare causing what looked like bruises he was rolling with the punches only one really hurt. when she was done Lance stood up looking at her he looked at her coldly but there was sadness in his eyes. "The nightmare you live with has caused you to harm another and a friend it is unforgivable that you would let this happen to you Twilight." Lance raised his hoof and she winced. He place it gently on her head making her flinch. "Don't let your fear consume you that is why I choose Luna she taught me that fears are not scary they are the unknown." Lance smile then it faded he headbutt Twilight relatively hard. "THAT PUNCH STILL HURT THOUGH!" He yelled then smiled like a child. They all began to laugh and Luna thought it was impossible but she loved Lance even more than before. Lance walked out of Twilight's library with Luna only to be bombarded with Photography and flashes of light Lance paniced he never liked surprises like this and he grabbed Luna snapping away back to her quarters he sighed. "What's wrong Lance?" She asked concerned. "What were they doing?" She asked again. "I think we have been discovered my love." Lance said looking at her. "I guess the cat is out of the bag somehow." The unicorn looked down at the ground calmly. "But we need a plan for entry into the party I guess it should be just as big of a surprise." Lance said smiling devilishly. "Oh I am so smart sometimes." He cooed but his thinking was stopped by a gentle kiss he blushed at that. "You're smart all the time Lance." She cooed quietly. The Grand Nightmare Pt. 1The Magic A Dream Can Create A Grand Nightmare Pt 1 By Major Frostwing Lance was doing the finishing touches of his plan for entering the ball. "A grand Entry for nightmares." Lance said quietly Luna looked over his shoulder at the plan it was a glorious plan Lance looked back to see her in her dress it was stunning was almost the same design as his except white he smiled at the design. "You look as beautiful as always my dear nightscape." Lance said place his hoof on her cheek gently his horn flared to life. "Lets begin this "Nightmare."" Lance said smiling as he cast the spell. "Indeed my love let's begin." Luna said kissing him as the spell began to take effect. The Ball was in full swing ponies slow dancing and all of them being fancy as they could but six mares walked around looking for someone. "Do you honestly think he will show up Darling after what you did?" Rarity asked calmly she was disappointed in Twilight but understood her actions as well. "I only hit him once he rolled with all the punches so only one trully hurt he did that to help me feel better." Twilight said on the verge of tears but Rainbow Dash slugged her in the arm gently. "Ah who needs him there are more colts out there maybe you could even date a mare." Rainbow Dash said with awkward glances from her friends. Suddenly all the lights turned off then relit with black fire barely lighting the room a pitch black Colt walked down the red carpet only a whit moon on his side could be seen it was intricate in design but a Pure white alicorn walked out from the shadows to join him he long flowing mane was that of the solar system she looked to him and then forward again they continued to walk even past Twilight and her friends. "Is that Princess Celestia." "No way she is up there who is this?" "Wait that cutie mark... Princess Luna?" Voices murmured around the ball room until they realized it was princess Luna then there was shock at who the tall Dark colt next to her was they stopped in front of Celestia and bowed to her she bowed back The lights returned to normal. "Fillies and Gentlecolts May I personally introduce Princess Luna of the Night and Lance Nightmare of the Dream." Celestia announced Lance was as tall as Luna smiling as he noticed everyone's reaction to Luna and his own names. Celestia leaned down and whispered into his ear. "I guess you one up-ed my entrance Lance congrats on that now don't do it twice." She said with a smile Lance smiled back. "It is our pleasure to announce one last thing to all of you." Lance yelled out and everyone focused on him. he looked to Luna and knelt to her. "Princess Luna... Would you be my wife?" He asked calmly but something felt off a force on the outskirts of Equestria pure nightmares. Luna smiled as tears streamed down her cheeks as she hugged him gently "Of course of Course Lance yes." She said as Lance pulled out a ring it was half white and a half black diamond. "Where did you get this?" She asked and Lance only shook his hoof. "I bought it with my reserves." He said with a smile there was a thunderous stomping of hooves to congratulate them even Twilight a single beam of light shown on the mane six and Lance smiled telling them to come up. They did and Lance bowed to them they stood there. "I have to thank all of you without all of you I wouldn't have had the courage to admit that I wanted to spend my life with Luna or had the courage and power to do what I did... And with that I thank all of you." Lance said as his spells wore off he returned to his normal size Luna returned to her normal colors and Lance smiled to her. "All I had in me Luna sorry." He said with a smile. "It is alright my Love now as Pinkie would say. 'Let us party till we drop.'" She said raising her hoof and Pinkie nearly exploded with joy Lance ducked when he saw the cannon then it fired. Lance laughed along with everyone else but he felt the darkness growing closer with each second he needed to talk to Celestia and Luna in private. Lance was standing in a tactical room with Luna, Celestia, and Shining Armor along with The Elements of Harmony. "I don't know if you can feel it but there is something big running this way a huge force of nightmares I can feel the increase of nightmares coming from Manehatten and it is making it's way here." Lance said calmly. "I can help fight this force with my own nightmares but I would need help to distract it so I can absorb it to purge it permanently." Lance looked at everyone Luna placed a hoof on his and smiled. "Sister we will be the advance attack force." She said sternly and Celestia nodded. "I know sister we will be careful if it gets out of hand we will retreat." Luna said to Celestia's Relief Lance prepped for a battle of nightmares and darkness he just hopes the one thing doesn't happen. Where We WentThe Magic A Dream Can Create Where We Went By: Major Frostwing It was a cold winter day Lance was walking around Canterlot in a pitch black scarf if he didn't people wouldn't notice the difference between himself and the snow. "Man it is cold today." Lance stated to no one as he walked to his office. He saw the same cheery mare at the desk he smiled to her as he went to his office he sat down sighing thinking about the night before he was arrested and almost put to death by Celestia for loving Luna. He smiled knowing that himself and Luna were together. The mare walked into his room about to say his appointment had arrived. "Send him in." Was all he said as his smile vanished. Prince Blueblood walked into his office and sat down. "Commoners like you should work around my schedule not the other way around." He said in his snobbish attitude Lance only rolled his eyes at the unicorn's idiocy. "Oh shut up Blueblood." Lance said annoyed. Blueblood looked at him shocked. "Do you even know who I am related to?" he asked angrily. "Yea yea I know to Princess Celestia. Do you know who I am related to?" Lance asked in a dangerous tone. Blueblood scoffed. "Why should I care about a commoner's poor line?" He asked in that same idiotic tone Lance just glared at him. he picked up his syringe and threw it into Bluebloods neck knocking him out almost instantly. "Finally some quiet." Lance said with a smile. He saw Blueblood squirm from his nightmare. Lance smiled as he cast the spell stealing Bluebloods nightmare he quickly fell asleep as well to fight off this new annoyance it was such a pathetic nightmare. "Afraid the commoners don't like you how pathetic." Lance said as he awoke. "Maybe if he wasn't such an ass ponies would like him." Lance said coldly. "The same could be said about you sometimes my love." Luna said as she walked out of a shadow in his office. "Yea I know but it's all I could do to distance myself from everything around me by pushing others away." Lance said with a smile he walked over to Luna and gave her a gentle kiss. "Good morning Luna shouldn't you be in bed it's past your bed time?" He asked with a gentle blush cursing his cheeks. "Oh hush." She said which made Lance chuckle. "I see you are seeing to my nephew. Think he will ever to accept others?" She asked Lance he only smiled. "It will take some work but yes he will eventually learn." He said as he saw Blueblood begin to awake. "Don't forget to pay on the way out." Lance said with a smile. Blueblood scoffed. "Why should I have to pay a commoner?" He asked in his arrogant tone. "Because if you don't I will tell Sister of your rudeness to Lance and you will be punished." Luna said calmly Blueblood shuddered at that thought. He quickly left Lance looked up to Luna and smiled. "Same time tonight as always?" Lance asked with a smile Luna nuzzled to him calmly. "It's a date." She said with a smile. She walked back into the shadows disappearing back to the castle where she would await for him.

Lance felt sick "She will be fine when she awakes. All I did was take her nightmare." Lance said as he fell over two nightmares in a row really tanks on the mind and body. "Think he will be alright dear?" A voice said sounded familiar. "Spike tried two buckets of water and nothing." Said another voice Lance opened his eyes slowly to see a bucket of water splash on him. "What the buck! Why water you could have just nudged me." Lance said annoyed the water was freezing he still felt light headed but he needed to move to shake off the feeling but then he noticed them all six of them. "Ok I know Twilight and Rarity who is everyone else?" Lance asked. The rainbow maned mare was annoyed "How dare you not know the fastest flier in Equestria and Future Wonder Bolt. Rainbow Dash." She said cockily Lance looked at her flatly. "Mah name is AppleJack I run Sweet Apple Acres." The Orange Mare said with a smile. "Pinkie Pie I should hold a party for you for not being dead and surviving whatever it is that happened to you and a welcome party." The Pink Mare bounced around Lance which made him more dizzy. The last mare a yellow mare with pink hair just hid behind Twilight. "So let me get this straight." He pointed to Rainbow. "Nightmares about not being the best." He said as he pointed at Applejack next. "Nightmares on not being able to support your family." He shifted to Pinkie Pie. "I won't say because it will make you sad." He said with a frown he then shifted to Fluttershy. "Your nightmare would kill me." He said calmly. They all looked at him shocked. "Girls let me introduce Lance Nightmare he is the leading authority on the study of nightmares his talent is taking of nightmare and disposing of them." Twilight said calmly. four syringes stuck into Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy. Lance smiled watching them fall asleep he activated his spell stealing their nightmares but something was painful about this his coat turned pure black and blood streamed from his nose he coughed a pool of crimson. Twilight looked at him shocked "Ow ow ow." Lance said trying to compose himself but was failing he felt the world around him darken and then a loud slam. What had just happened. "Lance... LANCE!" Were the last words he heard from Twilight.
Hospital FearThe Magic A Dream Can Create Hospital Fear By: Major Frostwing Lance awoke in a hospital bed surrounded by machines and doctors making sure he was still alive when they noticed he was alive they left the room to inform the next of kin or the people on his emergency contacts. "Guess I over did it." Lance said with a chuckle which hurt. "You can say that again my love." A voice said from the shadows. Lance had gotten used to this but didn't let it show that it still startled him. "What did I say about using that spell on multiple sleeping ponies at one time?" She asked angrily. "Not to do it because the nightmare's power is greatly increased on a sleeping pony." Lance said in a defeated tone he looked to her and smiled. "How did you find out?" Lance asked with a smile. "Twilight sent a letter to my sister explaining the situation. I decided to come when you stopped dreaming." She said as she walked up and kissed him gently his mouth still tasted like copper. "Thank you Luna." Lance said as he heard the door begin to open he sat there rigid at them almost getting caught kissing. "See I told you he would be f... Princess Luna?" Twilight said from delight to confusion. "Why are you here Princess?" Twilight asked confused. Luna was about to answer but Lance stopped her he smiled to them. "Luna and myself share the same type of tact for dreams and nightmares we converse about it at times. Plus she got word of what happened and decided to come scold me for my ignorance." Lance said winking at Luna subtlety she blushed. "So how long have I been out?" he asked looking at all of them worried. "Did I miss the ball?" he asked and they shook their heads no. "You been out fer three days pardner." Applejack said calmly. "Thought you were gonna be worm food when we saw all the blood. are you sure yer ok?" She asked worried. "Yea I'm fine just need to dispose of the nightmares then my coat will return to normal." He said waving a dismissive hoof. "Now I really have to throw you a glad your not worm food party." Pinkie said with a smile. Lance chuckled at her way of thinking. "I would rather it be called something else but you are planning the party so you can name it bananas if you want." Lance said with a smile. "Now that I think about it I can name it whatever I want Bananas sounds good ooh ooh maybe apples so Applejack can cook up some apple pie." Pinkie said walking out the door. Lance sighed. "Something bothering you Lance?" Asked the midnight blue Alicorn Lance only smiled to her. "I just can't keep up with her is all she would run me ragged if I tried to keep up with her sugar induced hyperactivity." He said looking down at his black coat. 'I want to go back to my white coat this black one has bad memories attached to it.' Lance said to himself he tried to look happy but something far more dangerous was bothering him a nightmare he couldn't shake but didn't show more like a prophecy. "Oh darling I forgot." Rarity said which roused everyponies attention. "I finished your suit. The normal price would be 5,000 bits but I won't ta-." Lance had already written a check and handed it to her she looked at it and gasped. "495,000 b-b-bits!" She felt weak and fainted without summoning her couch. Everypony looked at him shocked. "What I'm rich I just don't flaunt it like the other Canterlot elite." Lance said crossing his arms Luna giggled which made Lance smile.
How We All LookThe Magic A Dream Can Create How We All Look By: Major Frostwing Lance was trying on his suit he loved it it was a black with an intricate white moon scrawled across the side with a dark blue accent around the cuffs. "Rarity this was worth every bit." Lance said looking at himself in the mirror if he had his black coat you couldn't tell he was wearing a suit beside the moon design. "Where did you learn to do this kind of work?" Lance asked looking back at her. "I taught myself darling." She said with a gentle smile. "But why did you pay so much for it?" She asked Lance smiled. "I told you I would pay the difference between the two the nightmare and the suit I normally charge a lot because the people I treat are extremely rich I used to charge less until my work was recognized." He smiled. "Might as well get paid for my suffering." Lance said as he straightened his tie. "Suffer?" Rarity said quizzically. "You mean your coat?" she asked confused as to what he meant. "I would take a nightmare and then suffer with it until I learned to dispose of them I rarely slept and drank a lot just so I could sleep." Lance said walking towards her. "Don't tell Twilight she would worry about me nonstop if she knew." Lance said with a smile. "Thank you again Rarity I need to be going I have to go see Luna to show her the suit." Lance said and in a snap of darkness he was gone. Lance appeared in Luna's bedroom she looked over at him smiling. "So my love how do I look?" Lance said doing a little spin she smiled at him walking up and kissing him tenderly on the lips Lance returned the kiss happily. They slowly pulled apart both blushing. "I take it you like it?" Lance asked sarcastically. Luna only smiled and kissed him again. "I love it Lance." Luna said calmly. "I still can believe you paid Rarity so much for it." She said disbelieving but still smiling. "Ah who cares that money has just been cluttering my bank for years now need to get rid of it somehow." Lance said with a dismissive wave of his hoof. "Tomorrow is the ball I can't wait Lance." She said though she frowned. Lance put a hoof under her chin looking at her smiling. "We can make this work Luna Trust me." Lance beamed as he kissed her for the final time today. "I will see you tomorrow Luna to walk with you into the ball." Lance said calmly as he disappeared in a snap of darkness. Luna sighed seeing her lover leave one day maybe they can be together not just in secret. Lance appeared in ponyville but not even a second after he appeared he was tackled by a pink blur. "Hiya Lance are your ready to party. cuz I am ready to PARTAY!" Pinkie yelled and squealed bouncing around happily Lance couldn't even recover from the happy assault could only laugh. "Yes I'm ready to party lets go PARTY!" Lance yelled running with her to sugarcube corner. Lance was happy by the surprise party but was more surprise that people were happy to see him. "Pinkie had to name it Apples of The Nightmare didn't she?" Lance asked smiling as he took a drink of his cider. They sighed. "At least it is good business for you and Applejack." Twilight said with a smile. Lance sighed when he saw her blush at him. "Twilight I told you before I won't say it again." Lance said coldly she looked down brokenhearted Rainbow dash took up the defensive for her friend. "What the buck is wrong with you?" Rainbow Dash asked in a low growl. Lance didn't flinch at this he only finished his drink. "Answer me you jerk." She yelled at him. "Have Twilight tell you she has a better explanation than me." Lance said as he stood up. "Now if you excuse me I have to prepare for tomorrow." Lance said with a bow. He turned around and walked out of the party without many ponies noticing he left. "Tell us sugarcube what happened between you two?" Applejack asked calmly but still curious. Twilight sighed. "I asked him out yesterday but he turned me down said he was already dating someone he was polite about it but Lance was never a person to repeat himself. That's why he was cold earlier." Twilight said calmly. "You asked him to the Winter Festival Ball didn't you Darling." Rarity asked she only nodded calmly. "He is going with Luna." Rarity said sadly. That statement shocked everyone Lance was going with Luna. "They do have the same talent Darling dream walking is a rare talent so they must be very good friends." Rarity said trying to prove a point. "That's true but I still wonder who he is dating?" Twilight said with a frown but then it hit her. "No way that's not possible." She said running off to find Lance there were answers she needed. Author's Note The story finale is almost complete get ready your all gonna love this.
Fear of DiscoveryThe Magic A Dream Can Create The Fear Of Discovery. By: Major Frostwing Lance was back at his hotel room drinking more than he was used to. "Why do I have to be such a bucking fool." The unicorn said finishing his drink he began to pour himself another drink calmly. "I could have been more polite... And not made them look at me like I was a freak." Lance said as he felt the tears well up he then heard a knocking noise he turned around to see Luna tapping her foot apparently she had been there a while. "I'm sorry my love You shouldn't have to see me like this a drunken fool crying from his own idiocy. he said calmly wiping away his tears Luna walked up wrapping him in a gentle hug Lance slowly returned the hug tears streaming down his face he felt horrible for how he acted tonight. Luna hummed a little tune to Lance it was so calming and beautiful it made him relax but it might have been the alcohol. He slowly drifted off to sleep. "Sleep tight my love and I will see you tomorrow." Luna said with a smile as she disappeared into the shadows Lance was sleeping soundly on the bed. What both of them failed to notice was a pink fluff hidden listening to both of their conversation she silently left the home to tell her friends Twilight especially. Lance awoke the next morning groggily he looked around noticing he was in his hotel room he rubbed his head standing up he opened his door to be assaulted by flashes from cameras and press ponies. Lance slammed the door open and teleported away to Twilight's Library. "Twilight I hope you are here I got a big problem." Lance said annoyed at this new development. Twilight walked towards him stopping in front of him. "Twilight are you o-" Lance was suddenly assaulted by Twilight the force of the hoof slamming into his face threw him back slightly but Lance didn't fight back he wouldn't even if she continued. "Why...?" Twilight said as Lance heard her anger rise. "I have known you longer Lance why did you choose Luna?" She looked u tears in her eyes. "YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOU WILL DIE BEFORE SHE DOES SO WHY HER!" She yelled tears finally streaming down her face Lance didn't look up. "ANSWER ME!" She demanded as she walked up hitting him again. Lance took each hit until there was a loud boom. Luna had arrived looking for Lance when she saw what was going on her anger exploded but before she could even begin to yell. "Don't Luna let her get it out she will feel better when she does." Lance said calmly he was smiling even though his eye was black from the first hit. Luna backed down but she didn't want to watch Twilight hit him effectively for 3 minutes straight all in the process Lance was sapping her of her new nightmare causing what looked like bruises he was rolling with the punches only one really hurt. when she was done Lance stood up looking at her he looked at her coldly but there was sadness in his eyes. "The nightmare you live with has caused you to harm another and a friend it is unforgivable that you would let this happen to you Twilight." Lance raised his hoof and she winced. He place it gently on her head making her flinch. "Don't let your fear consume you that is why I choose Luna she taught me that fears are not scary they are the unknown." Lance smile then it faded he headbutt Twilight relatively hard. "THAT PUNCH STILL HURT THOUGH!" He yelled then smiled like a child. They all began to laugh and Luna thought it was impossible but she loved Lance even more than before. Lance walked out of Twilight's library with Luna only to be bombarded with Photography and flashes of light Lance paniced he never liked surprises like this and he grabbed Luna snapping away back to her quarters he sighed. "What's wrong Lance?" She asked concerned. "What were they doing?" She asked again. "I think we have been discovered my love." Lance said looking at her. "I guess the cat is out of the bag somehow." The unicorn looked down at the ground calmly. "But we need a plan for entry into the party I guess it should be just as big of a surprise." Lance said smiling devilishly. "Oh I am so smart sometimes." He cooed but his thinking was stopped by a gentle kiss he blushed at that. "You're smart all the time Lance." She cooed quietly.

"You look as beautiful as always my dear nightscape." Lance said place his hoof on her cheek gently his horn flared to life. "Lets begin this "Nightmare."" Lance said smiling as he cast the spell. "Indeed my love let's begin." Luna said kissing him as the spell began to take effect. The Ball was in full swing ponies slow dancing and all of them being fancy as they could but six mares walked around looking for someone. "Do you honestly think he will show up Darling after what you did?" Rarity asked calmly she was disappointed in Twilight but understood her actions as well. "I only hit him once he rolled with all the punches so only one trully hurt he did that to help me feel better." Twilight said on the verge of tears but Rainbow Dash slugged her in the arm gently. "Ah who needs him there are more colts out there maybe you could even date a mare." Rainbow Dash said with awkward glances from her friends. Suddenly all the lights turned off then relit with black fire barely lighting the room a pitch black Colt walked down the red carpet only a whit moon on his side could be seen it was intricate in design but a Pure white alicorn walked out from the shadows to join him he long flowing mane was that of the solar system she looked to him and then forward again they continued to walk even past Twilight and her friends. "Is that Princess Celestia." "No way she is up there who is this?" "Wait that cutie mark... Princess Luna?" Voices murmured around the ball room until they realized it was princess Luna then there was shock at who the tall Dark colt next to her was they stopped in front of Celestia and bowed to her she bowed back The lights returned to normal. "Fillies and Gentlecolts May I personally introduce Princess Luna of the Night and Lance Nightmare of the Dream." Celestia announced Lance was as tall as Luna smiling as he noticed everyone's reaction to Luna and his own names. Celestia leaned down and whispered into his ear. "I guess you one up-ed my entrance Lance congrats on that now don't do it twice." She said with a smile Lance smiled back. "It is our pleasure to announce one last thing to all of you." Lance yelled out and everyone focused on him. he looked to Luna and knelt to her. "Princess Luna... Would you be my wife?" He asked calmly but something felt off a force on the outskirts of Equestria pure nightmares. Luna smiled as tears streamed down her cheeks as she hugged him gently "Of course of Course Lance yes." She said as Lance pulled out a ring it was half white and a half black diamond. "Where did you get this?" She asked and Lance only shook his hoof. "I bought it with my reserves." He said with a smile there was a thunderous stomping of hooves to congratulate them even Twilight a single beam of light shown on the mane six and Lance smiled telling them to come up. They did and Lance bowed to them they stood there. "I have to thank all of you without all of you I wouldn't have had the courage to admit that I wanted to spend my life with Luna or had the courage and power to do what I did... And with that I thank all of you." Lance said as his spells wore off he returned to his normal size Luna returned to her normal colors and Lance smiled to her. "All I had in me Luna sorry." He said with a smile. "It is alright my Love now as Pinkie would say. 'Let us party till we drop.'" She said raising her hoof and Pinkie nearly exploded with joy Lance ducked when he saw the cannon then it fired. Lance laughed along with everyone else but he felt the darkness growing closer with each second he needed to talk to Celestia and Luna in private. Lance was standing in a tactical room with Luna, Celestia, and Shining Armor along with The Elements of Harmony. "I don't know if you can feel it but there is something big running this way a huge force of nightmares I can feel the increase of nightmares coming from Manehatten and it is making it's way here." Lance said calmly. "I can help fight this force with my own nightmares but I would need help to distract it so I can absorb it to purge it permanently." Lance looked at everyone Luna placed a hoof on his and smiled. "Sister we will be the advance attack force." She said sternly and Celestia nodded. "I know sister we will be careful if it gets out of hand we will retreat." Luna said to Celestia's Relief Lance prepped for a battle of nightmares and darkness he just hopes the one thing doesn't happen.
Where We WentThe Magic A Dream Can Create Where We Went By: Major Frostwing It was a cold winter day Lance was walking around Canterlot in a pitch black scarf if he didn't people wouldn't notice the difference between himself and the snow. "Man it is cold today." Lance stated to no one as he walked to his office. He saw the same cheery mare at the desk he smiled to her as he went to his office he sat down sighing thinking about the night before he was arrested and almost put to death by Celestia for loving Luna. He smiled knowing that himself and Luna were together. The mare walked into his room about to say his appointment had arrived. "Send him in." Was all he said as his smile vanished. Prince Blueblood walked into his office and sat down. "Commoners like you should work around my schedule not the other way around." He said in his snobbish attitude Lance only rolled his eyes at the unicorn's idiocy. "Oh shut up Blueblood." Lance said annoyed. Blueblood looked at him shocked. "Do you even know who I am related to?" he asked angrily. "Yea yea I know to Princess Celestia. Do you know who I am related to?" Lance asked in a dangerous tone. Blueblood scoffed. "Why should I care about a commoner's poor line?" He asked in that same idiotic tone Lance just glared at him. he picked up his syringe and threw it into Bluebloods neck knocking him out almost instantly. "Finally some quiet." Lance said with a smile. He saw Blueblood squirm from his nightmare. Lance smiled as he cast the spell stealing Bluebloods nightmare he quickly fell asleep as well to fight off this new annoyance it was such a pathetic nightmare. "Afraid the commoners don't like you how pathetic." Lance said as he awoke. "Maybe if he wasn't such an ass ponies would like him." Lance said coldly. "The same could be said about you sometimes my love." Luna said as she walked out of a shadow in his office. "Yea I know but it's all I could do to distance myself from everything around me by pushing others away." Lance said with a smile he walked over to Luna and gave her a gentle kiss. "Good morning Luna shouldn't you be in bed it's past your bed time?" He asked with a gentle blush cursing his cheeks. "Oh hush." She said which made Lance chuckle. "I see you are seeing to my nephew. Think he will ever to accept others?" She asked Lance he only smiled. "It will take some work but yes he will eventually learn." He said as he saw Blueblood begin to awake. "Don't forget to pay on the way out." Lance said with a smile. Blueblood scoffed. "Why should I have to pay a commoner?" He asked in his arrogant tone. "Because if you don't I will tell Sister of your rudeness to Lance and you will be punished." Luna said calmly Blueblood shuddered at that thought. He quickly left Lance looked up to Luna and smiled. "Same time tonight as always?" Lance asked with a smile Luna nuzzled to him calmly. "It's a date." She said with a smile. She walked back into the shadows disappearing back to the castle where she would await for him.
