"I have been stuck in the dream world"

"Let's see what you can do"

"WHY WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS SOONER!?"

And we now return to your regular (not) scheduled program.

.                                               Week Before Grand Galloping Gala                                                                                                .

"WHY WAS NOT TOLD OF THIS SOONER!?"

You could hear Dreamy Blaze scream throughout the entire castle.

"Gaaaaah!!!  Okay Blaze calm down and think.  I have one week to search for the perfect plants, prepare the silk from the plants and then sow my tuxedo.  But then I also the design and the... well, sowing material is easy to get but everything else is going to be a pain."  Dreamy Blaze was walking in a circle talking to himself after hearing that the gala was only a week away.

"My dear student, why are thou so worried about plants and such for your tuxedo.  Besides we can always have our personal dressmakers make thy tuxedo."  Luna said after recovering from the ear piercing shout from Dreamy.

"The reason for my over reaction is because I like making my stuff by hand to keep my skills fresh.  I don't want to get rusty at something I like doing.  Also when I say 'make stuff by hand' I mean it literally.  Down to the cloth or silk I might use.  I'm a designer after all."

Luna by now was used to some of the weird things her student did in occasions like this.  He once was having lunch and started talking to himself, saying something about a twin sister and how she cooked great food for him and his family and was currently missing it (at least Luna though he said that) but then went quiet after saying that or the one time in the middle of a lesson he said he had to leave to slay a dragon and Princess Luna let him go thinking he was to embarrassed to say the truth about needing to go to the bathroom.  This was just one of those many strange moments she strangely grew semi-used to.

"So what does thou have planned?" Asked Luna.

"Well, I'm currently planning on making a white tuxedo and gloves. I'll use gold and white on the edges so as to look different.  Maybe I'll do a red vest or probably white I'm going to have to draw it to get the best out of it." Blaze said with arm crossing chest and the other under his chin.  "Maybe if I get some cloth from... no but it's the best... but... Okay I have made my plan and now to execute it!"  By that point, Dreamy's thoughts were starting to materialize showing his plans in a very simple format.  This was also a common around him.  He would be doing something unrelated to magic focusing too much on details that spells started casting before he realized... that is if he DID realizes he was casting the spell. Seeing Dreamy doing this reminded Luna of the accident that happened a couple of weeks after his return.

Luna decided to test the colt’s knowledge on regular school material (or what she though was still regular school material) and today was his Chemistry test.

Topic: All Animals can Speak Potion for 30 minutes.

“Got it?” Luna asked.  When she turned around, she noticed that Dreamy was nowhere to be seen.  She then hears a sound behind her and saw Dreamy going over all the information right in front of the board with a look of deep thought, scaring her by the sudden appearing and disappearing act.

“...”

Although she was not sure, she thought she heard him speak what was on the board in great detail.

“... …? …!” Dreamy punched his fists together as if he was starting to understand… whatever he was doing.  Luna suddenly heard sounds come from behind her.  When she turned all the potions and ingredients were moving through magic.  She turned back to see Dreamy still reading.

Thinking for his and her safety she said, “Dreamy, please pay attention to what you are doing.”  Dreamy instantly turned toward her and what she was talking about only to see herbs, chemicals and powders being mixed together.  He then noticed that one of the chemicals poured into the main concoction and by pour I mean emptied into the main concoction.  To make matter worse, this Potion was a super old version of a current existing one.  Not only that this Potion had a history with explosive in the past.  Can you guess what happens after?  No. No powerpuff fillies were created. Instead it nearly destroyed the tower or would of had destroyed it had Dreamy not activated a defense spell that covered everything except for himself.  He did that by accident by the way.

Meanwhile, in the throne room.  Celestia was about to eat cupcake when suddenly the castle shaked violently for a second.  But it was enough of a distraction to make her drop her cupcake.  This made her mad, specially because she though it was another prank from Dreamy.

“Princess Celestia there was an explosion in one of the castle’s tower!   The one with your sister and student are in!”  said one of the servant ponies in a rush.

With news on hand, Celestia hurried to the tower.  The moment she opened the door she saw everything covered in ashes except her sister as well as other various little parts that were covered or protected by other items.  She then caught sight of of ashes piled in the shape of a pony… and said ash pony was blinking with massive white eyes with grape size dot for an irese.  She then realized this was Dreamy.  Because of his position and actions, she burst laughing all of a sudden, which in the end ended with Celestia and Dreamy being at each other's throats even more than they were already.  At least she forgot about the cupcake.  The being at each others throats was never noticed by Luna.

“... Equestria to Luna…” Luna woke up and if not for her student sudden dodge, would have slapped him to the wall.

“Thank Celestia you're okay.  I was waving in front of your for almost five minutes and I was starting to worry.” Luna blush very little to the point it was unnoticeable at the fact that she was caught day dreaming.  “Sorry Dreamy.  I was just remembering the Chemistry test I made you take.” said Luna.

“Don't worry. We all make mistakes.  Besides it's more fun when things go wrong, that is if no one gets hurt.” Said Dreamy.  “Anyway, can I have the rest of the week off so that I can make my tux.  Please…” pleaded Dreamy with puppy dog eyes.

“Sure, why not.”. After Luna said that, she saw Dreamy jump in joy while raising his fists in the air.

“ I won't let you down!  Heck, if thou want, I can make thee a dress if thou want my dearest teacher and Princess.” said Dreamy with a bow.

Knowing Dreamy’s skills when it comes to creativity in design first hand, Luna accepted his offer.

.                                                                                               Day of the Gala                                                                                      .

“I can't wait to meet your student and her friends.” said Dreamy excited.  ‘Just imagine all the pranks and jokes I can pull on them or…’

“If you think of pranking or even joking about something with my star student, I will punish you.” Said Celestia.  Dreamy bit his dumb and made noises in frustration of being found out.

Before Dreamy could say something Luna stepped into Dreamy's room while wearing the homemade dress Dreamy made.  It's was dark blue dress with stars on it.  The bottom of the dress was light blue and got darker the higher it went.  Overall it was simple yet for some reason it seemed to make Luna almost glow with… “Doesn't the dress feel a little to simple?” Asked Celestia, ruining the moment.

“I like it, it screams night yet it those not make me feel imposing or controlling.” said Luna.

“Well of course!  I made it with the beauty of the night and Luna in mind, and of course getting rid of every ponies fear of her because of Nightmare Moon. Also I wanted to keep it simple since simple, when done right mind you, can be very effective.” said Dreamy in a very prideful voice.

Luna blushed at the fact that the dress was made while thinking of her some much while Celestia was surprise at the fact that Dreamy was so nice to Luna.  Specially since he practically pulled pranks and jokes on everyone that caught his attention, especially herself.

“Let's get going since I want to meet your student Tia.” said Dreamy in a mocking tone to Celestia, which lucky went over Luna’s head.

When they had gotten inside the Gala (second time for the Princesses since they opened the Gala earlier but kept Dreamy out of it to have his introduction to Equestria as Luna's student for the middle of the Gala, as well as their actual party dresses) it looked like a tornado had passed by.  Animals were everywhere, food was being thrown and someone was laughing like a mad mare.

The Princesses were frozen in place looking at the damage, specially Celestia since she new who almost destroyed the gala.  Dreamy being the only one not frozen since he was used to this happening thanks to the dream world, stepped forward and took a deep breath and did the logical thing he could think which was scream in a voice level that almost reached the royal Canterlot voice.  “STOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!”

Everypony and object instantly stopped what they were doing.  Dreamy then turned to Luna and Celestia with a face that screamed 'a job well done' and was about to say something when he started to vibrate.  After a few seconds he stopped, got mad and almost screamed, “Always, always when the interesting happens.  Princess Celestia, teacher Luna please get your act together.   Also, I have to go since something popped up.”  He then went to the entrance and left.  Before he left, you could hear him talking about the timing of things always ruining the fun.

After every object finally fell, along with a lot of shattering noises or bangs of metal, Celestia regained her composure and asked in a calm voice, “What is going here?”

As soon as Celestia said that everypony pointed at Twilight and her friends.  After a bit of confessing and a lot of apologies, the Gala ended and everyone left.  Twilight and her friends along side Celestia and Luna began to talk once everyone left.

“My dear student, I'm happy you made so many wonderful friends but please try to not let this happen again without warning us first.” Said Celestia to a purple unicorn with a purple mane that had a pink strip through both the mane and the tail.  Said pony's name is Twilight.

“Again, I'm very sorry about that Princess.” said Twilight embarrassed.

“No to be rude or anything but who was that young stallion standing with you Princess?” said Rarity, a white unicorn mare with a purple mane and tail.

“We  were supposed to tell thee and everypony in the Gala the news of my new student but then all this happened.” said Luna pointing at the ballroom.

“Wait, wait, wait. Princess Luna you have a student?” asked Twilight.

“Some time after my return I was looking at my ponies’ dreams when I ran into his dream which was unstable.  After getting tired of trying to fix his dream, or better said their dreams, I came back to the castle and went to sleep.  He then followed me into my dream and then he showed me he had a cutie mark that allowed him to go to ponies dreams and I decided to teach him.” explained Luna straightforwardly.  “He was supposed to meet thee today but this happened.” said Luna pointing to the mess, again.

“Anyway I want to talk to you and your friends in my private library, so please follow…”  Before Celestia could finished, the doors burst open with Blaze on the other side looking tired.

“Sweet, sweet home. I missed thee, but I'm to tired to walk to bed but nnngghaaaa!” Screamed Dreamy still walking to his room.  When he passed Celestia, Luna and the main six, he said hello while making a v shape with his fingers and left for his room.

“Is that the new student you were talking about Princess Luna?” Asked Rainbow Dash.

“Yes.” Said Luna.

“Ignore him.  He's… unpredictable.” said Celestia, cringing from remembering all the pranks and tricks he pulled on her.  “Anyways I want you girls to tell me all about your adventures…”  Luna interested in hearing the story followed Celestia secretly to listen to the quote-un-quote private stories forgetting all about Dreamy’s demeanor.  What Luna didn't notice were the bright red eyes following from the shadows with a very cocky yet familiar smile.
