Midnight Biting Hour

"Fluttershy..."

"W-wha-what do you w-want?"

"Flutershyyy..."

GASP Fluttershy awoke from her nightmare her fur covered in sweat. She sighed heavily and was relieved it was just another bad dream. She got out of bed, and went over to her bathroom bathtub, and starting running the water. She thought maybe taking a bath would help take all the sticky sweat away. Also to calm herself from the terrible nightmare she had seen over and over again, almost every night. She thought the bath looked hot enough, and full of water, so she shut the water off and got in. She sighed again, feeling more calm in her own bath, without that creepy voice again. She rested for a while, and almost fell asleep, awoken by a minor banging at the door from Angel. Turned out he was up to, and wondered what kind of crazy nightmare she had tonight. It had been the same exact one for at least a month. He felt sorry for her, even though he wasn't like Luna, who could fix ponies nightmares into dreams. Maybe she had been getting more rest instead? He wouldn't know, Luna probably couldn't understand animals, Fluttershy was the only one he had knew of that could actually understand him, and other animals. Fluttershy got up from the bath, drained the water, and dried herself off with a certain lime green towel that was very soft. She looked at her little cuckoo clock in the kitchen. 2:26am. She decided to go back to bed, praying she won't have the same dream as she had before, time and time again. But tonight she actually didn't have the same exact dream as the months before. It was different from the others. But yet it started out like all the other nightmares.

"Flutteryshy..."

"What do you want from me?" She said confidently, even though she wanted to run and hide.

"The night shall begin, the sun shall not win. I will take, only with a break, when the curse comes ahead, don't get into bed."

Fluttershy sat in silence. She didn't know what the hay any of it meant at all, and what curse? Nighttime? If it meant Nightmare Moon coming back, she must tell Twilight! And the rest of her friends! But Fluttershy didn't know how to wake up in a nightmare like this. She pinched herself in her dream, several times, and at about the 23rd time, she woke up. She flinched a little when she woke up, but was relieved to find that everything, and everypony was okay. She looked at the other clock in her room. It said 7:38am. She got out of bed, and went to the kitchen again to get herself some oats for breakfast. But before she did, she made her route to the living room area, and fed all of her animals. For the ones who were up, and the ones who weren't. Then she finally made her way to the kitchen, and poured herself some oats. She ate them up in about 10 minutes, and then sat on her couch almost ready to take a nap. Then she remembered she was going to tell Twilight, and the others about her weird dreams. She got up, and flew over to Twilight's newly made crystal castle. Twilight let her inside, and Fluttershy started telling Twilight all about her dreams. Or to her, nightmares. Twilight told her that she would look for a book on it, and decided to have lunch later on with her. Fluttershy went back to her cottage, and took a slight nap, very happy that she didn't have any nightmares this time. Just blackness really. When Fluttershy woke up, she found it was 12:22pm. She almost was going to be late, but then realized her lunch with Twilight was at 12:43pm. She got to Twilight's castle just in time for lunch, and found out they were having daffodil sandwiches. They were Fluttershy's favorite type of quick little meal, and ate them whenever she could. They ate happily, chatting about all the books Twilight had read recently, and all of Fluttershy's new animals she had gotten from her cousin in Manehatten. When lunch was over, Fluttershy stayed at the castle, and read animal books, on new languages of different and new animals. Then after about 5 hours reading and chatting with Twilight, she headed home. And thats when Fluttershy fainted on the floor of her bedroom floor.
