"Alright everypony! Head to sleep, it's time to prepare for tomorrow." Luna rushed everypony to bed, and for the first time, it was her time to tie down to sleep as well. She quickly walked to her room, which was next to her sisters, opened her door and plopped on her bed.

"It's not like anything terrible is going to occur here, so there's no need for me to stay up." Luna said to herself, falling into deep sleep.

She had opened her eyes, seeing an olden scenery. She then saw her twelve year old self running away from another pony, a colt even.

"Somby! Bet ya' can't catch me!" Luna challenged. Luna's older version, her present self, saw a younger version of Sombra run to tackle Luna. The laughter of their old times brought tears to Luna's eyes, for this is how she began haunting herself for abandoning her one true love.

"Aww, still thinking about me Luna?"

Luna's dream soon became dust. She heard a voice, a familiar voice, one that sounded like somepony she's known.

"It's a shame you betrayed me just to save your little kingdom, otherwise, we've could've been tied the knot by now."

Sombra. It was Sombra.

Him talking to her was never in her other flashbacks, no, this was the real Sombra.

Luna faced him, as he stood on the other side of the dark void.

"Sombra! I thought I had seen the last of you!"

"Well it doesn't seem like it, you like to dream about me Luna?"

"No, I have great dreams, dreams about the times I defeated you!"

"Me, you'r own fiance?" Sombra changed into his old unicorn appearance before the dark magic consumed him.

Luna shielded her eyes, "Get away from me!"

A Sombra duplicate appeared behind her, "You got rid of me Luna."

As did another, "Like I didn't even matter to you."

And another, "We were suppose to be in love! We were suppose to get married."

And another, "But you changed it all Luna, and soon, you'll hurt everyone you love like you hurt me."

Luna began crying, as more and more duplicates appeared.

"No, no, no, no, NO! IT'S ALL FAKE!" she used a power spell to rid all of the duplicates.

Then her dream scenery changed. Now it was her younger self with Sombra when he discovered dark magic.

"Reading books again Somby?" younger Luna asked. Sombra didn't answer, which irritated Luna.

"Somby? Stop reading dear! Pay attention to me! Hello? Somby!" Sombra wasn't budging, he continued reading, but annoyance grew as he kept reading the dark magic book.

"Somby?"

"I'm reading."

"I wanna talk about our wedding."

"I'm reading, but I'll help you out later."

Present Luna could see it all, she saw it all go down.

"Books, books, books that's all you care about nowadays! You asked me to marry you and we're not even acting as a couple because you're always reading those stupid books! If you love books so much, then why don't you MARRY THAT THEN!"

Luna's past self ran out crying.

Sombra hung his head down, "But I was preparing you a gift Lulu."

Luna's present self heard this, which made her cry. That one day when Sombra paid too much attention to his book, was the day he wanted to give her a wedding gift. Luna kneeled down to the ground crying, not noticing that a golden chain was holding on to her foreleg.

"I'm sorry, Sombra."

Celestia slept blissfully, having a dream of her and Luna from the past. Luna would talk to Celestia about many colts about how mares fall in love, which scared Celestia to know that her sister would one day find a colt and leave her, but she was glad to see her sister getting along with others.

"I'm so happy for you Luna! One day you'll find a colt, get married and-"

"Leave you...."

Past Celestia paused in her sentence, the present Celestia could see the fear in her eyes.

"Yes, and leave me."

"To be with me."

Present Celestia could hear another voice, as her dream faded and all that was left was a dark void.

"Who goes there?! Show yourself!"

Sombra appeared from the darkness, facing Celestia with dark pride in his eyes.

"Celestia, it's been awhile. How have you been?"

"SOMBRA!" Celestia striked her magic at him, but missed by a landslide. "What are you doing here? My sister and I banished you years ago!"

"Yes, then I came back and those foolish ponies tried to send me away with that crystal heart. I know the whole thing Celestia, I'm just here for revenge."

Celestia struck her magic at him again, and missed as well. She tried chasing him in the void, but it didn't her any good. When she began to charge towards him, he vanished.

"SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD! SO THAT I MAY END YOU!" Celestia demanded. It was silent, Celestia stood in the void alone.

Until she could sense somepony behind her, she turned only to see a younger version of Luna. Celestia's eyes were filled with joy, as Luna let out her hoof for her sister to grab. As Celestia reached for it, Sombra appeared next to Luna, embracing her.

"I wanna run away with you Sombra, because I love you and only you."

"No."

Sombra smirked evilly, "Your fear is letting your sister go in the wrong hooves. You were even more frightened when you learned that I was Luna's lover."

"No!" Celestia yelled covering her ears.

"Luna belongs to me now Celestia."

"NOOOO!"

Cadence, Twilight and her friends all did a nightly check up before the festival started. Shining Armor sent out his guards to check on the two royal sisters. Twilight believed that Luna would be sleep and Celestia would leave her room for a taste of crystal cake. The five girls were also thrilled, for today was the day Pinkie and Cheese were returning from their six day research trip.

Rarity was caring Spike's cupcake tower with her magic, since there was no other way for her to see it.

"Oh Spike! It's so lovely, what do you call it?"

Spike rubbed the back of his neck nervously, he never even thought of a name for his display.

"Uhh...it's called....Radiance!"

Rarity's head cocked a little to the side.

"Radiance?"

Spike nodded.

"Since Radiance is another word for Rarity and both mean shiny, glowing, beautiful."

Rarity blushed and giggled.

"Oh Spike you're too kind!"

Spike caught a glimpse of Fluttershy and Discord setting up their 8-layer, double decker, carrot cake. `Discord could see SPike looking in his direction, so he stuck his tongue out at him.

Spike grumbled.

"Hey Rarity, why don't we take Radiance over by Discord and Fluttershy's display?"

"Oh of course!" Rarity swished the tower of cupcakes, landing it next to Discord and Fluttershy's display. Fluttershy's face brightened when her friends Rarity and Spike walked towards her.

"Oh! Hi Rarity, Spike! It's nice to see friendly faces in a competition."

Spike stood next to Discord, facing him competitively.

"You're gonna lose! Radiance is gonna kick your butt!"

Discord laughed.

"Radiance? Is that your display's name? It's very pathetic against my Carrot Queen!"

Spike face was full of confusion.

"Carrot Queen?"

Discord nodded his head in pride.

Twilight, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash walked in the empire near the main hall. They saw no trace of Celestia or Luna anywhere. Cadence and Shining Armor popped from behind.

"I didn't see any tracks of crumbs from the kitchen." Cadence stated.

"I didn't see anything in the crystal altar." Shining informed.

"Do you think their still sleep?" Twilight suggested.

Suddenly, a dark cloud appeared from the mirror Pinkie had went through. It began covering the main hall, and all the rooms in the empire. Twilight recognized this magic, it was a familiar streak from the magic she used to activate Sombra's nightmare door.

An evil laugh was let out, as a silhouette of Sombra's head appeared.

Shining Armor, Twilight, and Cadence put up a shield.

"Sombra, you're not welcome here! Leave at once!" Shining Armor ordered.

"Oh Shining, did you not learn from your last mistake. I take what I want, and if I can't have with joyce, I take it by FORCE!"

Sombra broke off the unicorn shield, releasing more dark magic to create a dark void. Twilight and Cadence put it back up.

"Back away from my husband!" Cadence replied, guarding Shining Armor with her life.

"Twilight, you guard your friends and Shining, I'll handle Sombra." Cadence ordered, letting go of her shield.

"CADENCE NO-" Twilight was too late, Cadence charged right towards Sombra. Sombra began a shadow bomb as she flew towards his head. Shining Armor pushed out of the shield before Sombra could cut a magic streak in her torso. Sombra ende dup fighting both Cadence and Sombra, but he was too weak. As Cadence struck, Shining was her shield.

"An inseparable pair! You'll never defeat Cadence or Shining! They're indestructible together!" Twilight chanted. Sombra paused his attack, then grinned.

"Oh really?" he created a shadow blade, creating a wall between Cadence and Shining.

"NO!" Twilight shouted. "Me and my big mouth."

Cadence tried breaking down the wall, using her magic forcefully to break down the wall. She tried five times, but ended up failing, growing weaker and weaker by the minute. She began to try a sixth time, until a replica of Cadence appeared before her.

"You weak, spineless fool. Do you actually believe that you can beat Sombra? Without your husband you are nothing but a DISGRACE! Why, you even let a changeling take him! Face it, you're as weak as he is."

Cadence covered her ears. "NO! IT'S NOT TRUE! Shining is strong even without me, Shining can handle himself."

"Listen to yourself! When he was facing Sombra, who did he turn to to aid him?

"Me! But that's only because I love him, besides, he was shielding me while attacking Sombra!"

Cadence's duplicate shook her head in disappointment. "There's just no getting to you is there? Fine! Be stubborn. I didn't want it to come to this but...."

Suddenly, the scenery around Cadence changed. It was more like heaven, only it was the inside of her castle. Shining Armor was standing in front of the throne inside the main hall. Cadence smiled when she saw him turn to her.

"Shining! Shining honey, it's me! Please help me-"

Shining made a disgusted look towards her. "Safety? Is that al I am to you Cadence?! Just your shield?"

Cadence bit her lip. "No honey, of course not! I love with all my heart and you know that-"

"No! I don't need you! I'll just go marry some other pony. Maybe even....Chrysalis..."

The scenery changed, the main crystal hall was now dark, colored black, emerald, and blue everywhere. Cadence's pink coat became pale, as she saw her husband now in Chrysalis's hooves. Chrysalis smirked, then changed her appearance to look exactly like Cadence.

"I knew you would come around. I tried to warn you Cadence." she said, laughing evilly as Cadence broke into tears. She ran to stop Chrysalis, but failed when she tripped. She turned around to notice a golden chain on her foreleg. Cadence tried breaking free, even using her magic, but failed every try.

"No..." she said, while sobbing. "He's my husband....I love him....Shining...."

The same had occurred during Shining's nightmare. Only, a bit different.

Shining called out for Cadence multiple time, but still no answer. His scenery around him changed. For he was now in the main hall of Canterlot Castle. Cadence appeared, wearing her wedding dress facing Shining.

"Oh Shining, we're getting married." she said to herself. Shining laughed.

"Honey, we're already married!" he said to her, but she did seem to turn his way.

"I remember the way you proposed to me, it was our fifth date." she sighed. "It's too bad you called it off but never postponed it, I guess you don't love me."

Shining's face became pale. "CADENCE! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?! YOU'RE NOT MAKING SENSE!" he yelled, but she didn't seem to hear him. A buff, earth colt appeared next to Cadence.

"It's too bad he gave you up. But don't worry, you're always on the market list for me." the colt assured Cadence, beginning to kiss her neck as she laughed playfully.

"Bucky, honey, wait til during the honeymoon!"

Shining got up and ran towards the two, but fell. He turned to see a gold chain, then turned to the couple. Tears welded from his eyes, but he wasn't giving up.

"SOMBRA! Whatever sick trick this is, it isn't going to work!"

Nothing. Not recall, evil laugh, nothing but kissing sounds. Shining looked at the couple, and didn't even turn away. How could he, when he witnessed losing the one he loved.

Twilight and her friends stayed in the shield. No pony moved, nor wanted to. It was silent. But Twilight couldn't take it any longer.

"Let..."

"My..."

"Brother and his wife...."

As a strong magic aura appeared on her horn, Applejack and Rainbow stepped back.

"GOOOOO!"

A magenta power bomb was shot from Twilight's horn, undoing the shield, and releasing her, Rainbow, and Applejack from Sombra's dark void. As the three girls were released, they noticed both Cadence and Shining Armor on the floor, covered with a dark grayish shield.

Twilight's face became pale, as she murmured the words..

"He's gotten to them..."

Author's Note

So let me tell you a funny story. Here I am, up at 4 am in the morning typing, but I get lonely so I watch me some good old Mlp. I'm sitting here typing Luna's nightmare, when I get to the part of episode 2 season 3, when Twilight went through the door, the nightmare door.

So now, I have to think of a creative way for Sombra to beat all these stinkin' powerful ponies. I mean I'm the writer here, and I'd like to finish up this story because I have good ideas for the sequel. *Squeal later please*

So everypony's nightmare is kinda like this:

Luna: I had to think of something creative, and this story does have romance don't it? So, based from what I learned from Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? when Luna punished herself for being Nightmare Moon and junk, I decided to do the same, just it's as she betrayed the one she loved.

Celestia: Now Tia's wasn't that easy either. My first move was just to have nightmares about sending Luna to the moon, but that's getting old, so I decided to give her what any other sister or mother would fear, fear of letting go the one they love in the wrong hands. It's tough, but she has to deal with it.

Cadence & Shining: Well, theirs isn't really that hard. For Cadence, I kinda based it off of A Canterlot Wedding and what would happen if Chrysalis successed. For Shiny, I was gonna make him battle Sombra, but that would be too mild. So, I based his nightmare off of the IDW comics.

Now, that's the last of the nightmares, except Cheese. But I explained his in the chapter already.
