Twilight Sparkle was looking around the library hastily for the book about Alicorns. “Where is it?!” she growled at herself as she looked around and finally realized it was still on the desk.

“Oh yeah...” said Twilight Sparkle as she walked up to her desk and picked up the book. She stood beside Moonlit Guardian and levitated the book in front of them both and she began to turn to her bookmarked paged about ‘Daylight Torrent’.

“My brother...” said Moonlit Guardian as he scanned across the page, “Brother...” growled Moonlit Guardian as his eyes began turn to a fiery red color.

Twilight Sparkle turned her head and saw this change in Moonlit Guardians eye color and she immediately started to walk backwards towards the wall.

Moonlit Guardian was lost in his own mind now, rage began to fill his body as a circle a flames began to form around him...

~=~=~=~=~=~=

“Where are we going” said a young grey colt as he was following his older, golden colored brother through Everfree Forest. “I don’t know” replied the older brother as he kept running in a straight line.

They came to a stop in the middle of a cleared space in the forest, there was a little pond and there they rested a bit. After a few minutes, the older brother said “Stay here, I’ll fly into the sky and scout the area.” and so the older brother flew up into the sky and through a dark, foggy cloud.

The younger brother waited patiently for his older brother to come back down, but he did not ever fly back to him. The younger brother stayed patiently anyways, waiting for his brother to return, there he waiting for years, with no food to eat, no shelter, with nothing.

=~=~=~=~=~=~

Moonlit Guardian had passed out onto the floor, scorch marks on the wooden floor can be easily seen around him in a perfect circle. “Woah...” said Twilight Sparkle as she looked at Moonlit Guardian.

She poked his side to see if he was still alive and he quickly twitched and flipped over. Twilight Sparkle lightly giggled at this situation and so she picked him up and laid him in her bed.

“Spike, we have a guest sleeping here tonight, it seems he passed out.” Twilight Sparkle shouted loudly to Spike who was in another room. “Yeah, Yeah.” yelled Spike who replied in an annoyed tone.

Twilight Sparkle went to quickly assemble a small bed on the opposite side of where her original bed was and once she finished she lay and fell asleep on the newly assembled bed.

The Next Day, Twilight Sparkle woke up first, her hair was a mess like she had a terrible dream. She looked around hazily and then went wide-eyed, she was asleep next to Moonlit Guardian!

She blushed lightly when she figured out she had walked in her sleep to fall asleep beside him, she quickly got up and went to fix her hair.

Moonlit Guardian was snoozing lightly and a smile was lit up on his face, Twilight Sparkle never saw this since she was busy waddling in her own emotion.

Twilight Sparkle walked out the door, but as she did she looked back for a quick second and then she continued to go on with her regular day. Spike was asleep aswell, so she knew she didn’t have to worry about him.

Later on in the day, Twilight Sparkle returned home and as she did she went to check on Moonlit Guardian, she went to check on him...

“H-huh!” she exclaimed as she saw that her bed which Moonlit Guardian was asleep on, was empty! Twilight Sparkle panicked and looked everywhere around the library, as she searched she couldn’t find him anywhere.

She ran outside, throwing open the door as she ran and she then proceeded to run all around Ponyville, looking for him.

“Moonlit!” Twilight Sparkle shouted as she ran around Ponyville, she then walked into Sugarcube Corner and Pinkie Pie immediately hopped infront of her, like she was waiting for Twilight Sparkle to walk inside.

“Pinkie, have you seen Moonlit anywhere?” asked the panicking Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie smiled and said “Yeah, Moony’s just over there.” and as she said that, she pointed toward the direction of a table where Moonlit Guardian was passed out.

“I made him a bunch of cupcakes! It seems like he really enjoyed them~” said Pinkie Pie as she hopped away, humming a small song. Twilight breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to Moonlit Guardian.

She saw that he was passed out and that his face was all covered with frosting and sprinkles from the cupcakes. Twilight lightly giggled at seeing him like this and so she picked him up on her back.

She waved goodbye to Pinkie Pie, who was watching the register and then she exited Sugarcube Corner and walked back home, still relieved that she had found Moonlit Guardian.

As they arrived back to Twilights home, she layed Moonlit Guardian back in the bed and magically levitated a wet towel to lightly wipe his face clean of all the cupcake frosting and sprinkles.

Moonlit Guardian sneezed a bit and flipped over, his face was nice and clean now and so Twilight Sparkle put away the towel and went down the stairs to pick out a few books to read.

She wanted to do more studying on why Moonlit Guardian was enraged at his brother, and she wanted to know what had truly happened that fateful night many years ago.

She found a few books and begin to read...

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Rainbow Dash was laying in a small cloud, taking one of her ‘usual’ naps. She suddenly woke up because of a Nightmare and fell off of the cloud! She almost began to panic but she kept a level-head and unraveled her wings to let herself glide.

She then hovered in the air and wiped her forehead of any sweat that she was sweating because of that event. “Phew...” said Rainbow Dash, “Close call.”

Rainbow Dash then flew towards the Farm where Applejack and her family presided, Rainbow Dash remembered that she had to help out Applejack with the new barn that was still being built on the spot where she had destroyed that old barn.

Applejack saw Rainbow Dash flying and waved to her, saying “Howdy, Dash... ya’ll made it!” and then Rainbow Dash landed infront of her and said “Heh Yeah... so, what’re we working on today?”

Applejack turned toward the barn and pointed toward the roof, saying “You need to build up as much of the roof as ya’ll can.”

Rainbow Dash nodded and took a few tools and supplies and flew up to the scaffolding on the side of the roof. She put down all the tools and supplies and only kept the ones she needed to build the first layer of the roof.

She then put those tools and supplies to the side and then picked up a corner of the large tarp that was put over the barn to cover the inside from rain. She flew across and removed the tarp and then let it fall to the side which revealed the wooden supports of the roof.

Rainbow Dash went back to get her tools and she took some small wood paneling, she then proceeded to put them all across the roof area really quickly, nailing each of them together as she put them down onto the roof.

A few minutes later she finished, Rainbow Dash sighed and looked at the plans, she seems to have put everything in place, she then took some brushes and some paint and began to paint the roof.

Rainbow Dash took about an hour to finish painting the whole roof and covering up any dangerous spots... then she began to feel sleepy.

She quickly put down whatever she was carrying and flew down to Applejack and as she landed she said in a dizzy tone, “Applejack, I-I’ve got a b-bit of a headache... I’ll see you later.” and Applejack nodded lightly and returned back to her work.

Rainbow Dash flew through the air like she was drunk, she swerved in her movement and her speech was slurry, she flew terribly high in the air which made it even worse. She then passed out in mid-flight!

She was free-falling unconsciously from the air, tears slowly began to stream out of her eyes...

She was only a few feet from the ground until a grey streak quickly flew across the ground and grabbed her! Rainbow Dash opened her eyes and saw it was Moonlit Guardian, her face was red as she was being held in the Alicorn Colts hooves.

Rainbow Dash fell unconscious again...

-~-~-~-~-~

The Darkness was everywhere... she couldn’t hide anymore from her past. Rainbow Dash looked at the knife that was right across from her, she felt so much grief and sadness because of what had happened in the past.

“I’m sorry...” said Rainbow Dash as she reached for the knife, but before she could grab it a mysterious hoof pulled away the knife.

Rainbow Dash sighed as she cried herself to sleep, she wondered who it was... or was he... or she, was doing there, and why ‘they’ helped her.

Her eyes were red before she closed them to fall asleep, she had been having nightmares for awhile so she couldn’t sleep. As she fell asleep, the same mysterious pony hugged her, it was a warm feeling and she easily fell asleep and this time... she didn’t have a nightmare.

~-~-~-~-~-

A whole day passed as Rainbow Dash was asleep, as she woke up she remembered what had happened. Now she knew her feelings clearly now, she was in love with Moonlit Guardian.

Rainbow Dash saw a note laying on top of her and she picked it up, she then read the note and it said:

Dear Rainbow Dash,

I’ll be over at Twilight’s place for awhile, she said she had something that could help out my wing because she said it was still a bit damaged from the inside.

Love, Moonlit Guardian

Rainbow Dash needed to tell Moonlit Guardian about her feelings, she quickly got up from her bed and flew right out the door towards Twilight’s place.

Her objective was so great to her that she flew at tremendously high speeds and right through Twilights door.

As she went through she walked into the bedroom and up the stairs, her face turned from a face of seriousness to a surprised face... tears streamed down her eyes as she saw that Moonlit Guardian and Twilight Sparkle were in bed together...

“No...” said Rainbow Dash, she quickly turned around and ran out, leaving a trail of tears across the floor.

Moonlit Guardian immediately woke up from hearing the sound of somepony running and looked to see a multi-colored tail exit out the bedroom door.

“Oh no...” Moonlit Guardian whispered to himself, he got up without waking up Twilight Sparkle.

He ran to chase Rainbow Dash but Rainbow Dash was flying at her top speed which was impossible to match. Moonlit Guardians efforts to follow her lead towards Rainbow Dashes cloud house in the sky.

Moonlit Guardian knocked on the closed door...

No answer...

He knocked even harder on the door...

Still no answer...

Moonlit Guardian then tried opening the door, but the door was locked...

He then flew backwards and then full speed forwards and rammed into the door, but the door still stayed shut.

He could hear Rainbow Dash crying, he needed to get to her.

He didn’t want to use it, but he casted a spell to make his wings into sharp metal, he then broke the door down and the spell wore off.

“Rainbow Dash?” he lightly asked as he slowly walked in, he still heard crying but he couldn’t pin-point the exact room she was in.

“Get out!” shouted Rainbow Dash, she was really angry and she really wanted to be alone.

Moonlit Guardian looked through the rooms one-by-one and couldn’t find her in any of them, but there was one room left and it was the bedroom...

He slowly peeped his head in to see Rainbow Dash, shivering and crying in a corner... a knife by her side with blood on it...

He asked “Rainbow Dash... can I ta-“ but he was interrupted, “Get out! Now!” shouted Rainbow Dash.

“Please Rainbow Dash... let me explain...” asked Moonlit Guardian as he got closer and saw that she had cut her left hind leg a bit.

Rainbow Dash wasn’t in the mood to talk and so she kept on crying, she couldn’t take the pressure of life anymore and she wanted to die.

Moonlit Guardian then said “You see... Twilight was just using some magic on my wings until I fell asleep, I didn’t know she went to sleep beside me...”

Rainbow Dash listened but she still kept on crying, she reached for the knife which was across from her, but then Moonlit Guardian stomped his hoof onto it, ignoring the cut it caused he kicked it away.

Rainbow Dashes eye sparkled a bit, a flashback occurred to her and she finally realized.

“It was you...” said Rainbow Dash in a shocked manner. “You’re the one who stopped me from hurting myself...”

Moonlit Guardian didn’t understand what she was talking about but he went with it and just nodded.

Rainbow Dash wiped away the tears from her eyes, and sat upward... a bit embarrassed. Moonlit Guardian got close enough to hug Rainbow Dash and he was so relieved that she hadn’t killed herself.

“I... I love you Moony...” said Rainbow Dash as she fell unconscious from her cut that she had made on her left hind leg.

Moonlit Guardian smiled and laid her on the bed and said silently, “I love you too...” and then he kissed her forehead lightly and quickly bandaged up her hind leg. His eyes were a light blue from this time and so he smiled and also remembered to bandage up his cut hoof.

Moonlit Guardian lay on the spot beside Rainbow Dash and smiled and then he hugged her and fell asleep himself... It was like the day had passed by because of this event.

None of them had nightmares,
Both of them had dreams.

Knowledge seems like power,
But it never was.
It was only mind,
It was only imagination.
A Heart of Sadness takes away the Heart of Love,
A Heart of Hate takes away the Heart of Happiness,
Grief and Regret will always haunt,
But they will never hurt,
They will grow,
And grow,
Until their numbers are large,
And then they attack.
A Rainbow grows across the sky,
To put away this emotional army.
For the Rainbow flies,
So does Imagination grow.
