Princess of Dreams

Spike took one last look at Misty before closing the door. He shut it slowly before turning around and walking back to his own room. He looked at a clock on the wall. It read 11:30. Spike was surprised. He was talking to Misty for quite a while.

He made his way back to his room. He got inside and got back in his bed. Within a few minutes sleep overtook him and he began to dream.

(Canterlot)

Luna was not happy. Scratch that she was furious. Tia had left her to watch over Canterlot for three whole days because there was a "incident at ponyville". She didn't even say goodbye. She received a letter from Twilight and a minute later she was saying she had to go to ponyville for a while. Luna didn't even have time to respond before Celestia just teleported to ponyville.

But luckily the first day was over. The sun began to set and Luna got ready to do her normal duties. Everypony was asleep. Except some of the Batpony guards around the castle.

Luna got into bed and began to enter the dream realm.

She opened her eyes to see she was in a long hallway filled with doors. The first thing she checked was to see if her sister was asleep. She wasn't, neither were any of the mane six.

Luna began to check ponies dreams to make sure they slept peacefully.

(About a hour later)

Luna had just finished visiting Pipsqueks dream. Luna was always happy when around the little pony. He was always happy just to see her. He was having a dream about being a royal nightguard by Luna's side. Luna knew the colt liked her, but she only saw him as a close friend. He was only a colt. Luna decided to bid him fair well so she could continue her duties.

Luna went back into the dream realm. It was one long hallway with many door on both sides. Luna continued down the hallway. None of the doors seemed to give off a dark aurora meaning no one was having a nightmare.

Luna went down the hallway until she spotted a door that had a lock on it.
Luna was confused. Not only did this door have a lock on it but it also was giving off a dark aurora. Luna had not seen anything like this. She assumed that this pony was trying to keep there subconscious to themselves.

But Luna had to do something this pony was clearly having a nightmare. She used her magic to break the lock on the door. The lock snapped off and vanished into nothing. Luna opened the door with her magic and walked inside. The first thing she saw was darkness.

She seemed to be in a room full of ...nothing. She continued to look hoping to find who's dream this was and the nightmare that was disturbing this pony. She continued her way deeper into the black void. Nothing seemed to be here.

She saw a light in the black void. It was bright, Luna had to cover her eyes. The light began to diminish and Luna looked to see what was causing it. What she saw shocked her.

There were rips in the void. They were all around. Luna looked to one and saw Twilight and her friends in the friendship castle. There was no noise but Luna could tell they were talking amongst eachother. Once they stopped they all got up and left. The rip sealed itself before turning back into darkness. Luna kept waking deeper seeing different scenarios of the mane six. From when Twilight was just a unicorn all the way to the defeat of Tirek.

Luna had guessed she was in Twilights conscious. All of these memories were of her and her friends. Luna noticed the rips in the darkness had stopped leaving nothing but a black void. She was back in darkness nothing and no one around.

Luna decided she had enough of the dark she lite her horn and light began to surround her. She could see she was standing on.... grass?

She expanded the light until it covered most of the area. She was in a grassy meadow. Everything was peaceful. Luna had never been in such a peaceful mind before. Everything was so calm. Luna noticed a figure sitting under a tree. It looked like a pony from a distance.

Luna began to walk towards the pony. She was a few meters away when she noticed that the pony wasn't a pony it was a dragon.

"Young Spike?" Luna said getting his attention.

Spike turned around and looked at Luna. He looked shocked and very surprised to see her.

"Luna? What are you doing here?" Spike asked.

"You appeared to be having a nightmare so I entered your dream." Luna said "but is see there is no Nightmare plaguing you this night". Luna turned her gaze away from Spike and looked back to the vast green plains Spike was dreaming about.

Luna was interrupted from her thoughts when Spike began to speak.

"I wasn't having a nightmare I assure you. I've just been thinking." He said.

Luna looked at the young dragon. He seemed so calm and relaxed. Luna had never seen a pony.... or dragon create such a peaceful subconscious. But Luna still knew something was wrong. She could feel Spikes emotions. He was in a state of deep thought and what appeared to be depression. This was a small perk Luna had she ever she was entering dreams. Since she entered there subconscious she could see there emotions and tell what was causing there dream without disturbing them.

"Spike you cannot lie to me. I can tell you are sad. Please, talk to me nephew." Luna said in a sincere tone. She did not call Spike Nephew in quite some time. Actually Luna couldn't remember when she had last talked to Spike. It must have been at least a couple of months maybe more.

Spike sighed." I haven't lied Aunt Luna but your right I am not in the best of moods".

Luna moved closer to Spike. She looked at him. His face had no emotions, he seemed lost in thought. Luna sat down next to him, she looked in the direction he was looking. He was looking at nothing. Just endless hills covered with grass.

Spike felt something warm touch his side. He looked to see Luna giving him a hug. Spike waited a couple seconds before returning the huge to Luna. He wrapped his small arms around her and enjoyed her warmth.

Luna was in a similar state. She felt Spikes Dragon heat. It was relaxing and very warm like a blanket. They stayed like this for about two minutes before separating and looking back at eachother.

Spike spoke first "Luna if you really want me to show you why I'm feeling like this then I will" Spike said.

"Please Spike I only wish to help. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't" Luna said trying to get Spike to open up to her.

Spike took a deep breath before turning around and walking past Luna. "If that's what you want then I'll show you".

Luna trailed behind him for about thirty seconds before he stopped. Luna stopped right behind him before looking at him. He wasn't moving he was just staring at the vast land in front of him. Luna went beside him and looked at his expression, it was serious. His expression never changed.

In a quick motion he lifted his right arm towards the field in front of him. His arm began to release small green flames. They surrounded his arm before turning into smoke. Luna looked at him, curious of what spike had been doing. He looked at his hand intently before bawling it into a fist. He put pressure when he made the fist and it looked like his hand began to shake vigorously.

Luna's curiosity turned into fear when she saw Spike shaking vigorously. She attempted to stop him but a quick glare from Spike stopped her. He wasn't angry, he was giving her a warm smile. He had no pain on his face just a smile. Luna's worry went away in a instant. She took a step back and waited for Spike to finish what he was doing.

Spike looked back to his hand a saw it was no longer shaking. He unbawled his fist and spread his hand stretching it. The smoke from his palm began to drift upwards. It spread in front and all around them. The first thing Luna noticed was the field in front of her began to disappear. It was as if it was never there. It faded out without a trace.

Soon everything was gone and Spike and Luna were just in a black void. Spike began to walk forward. Luna followed closely behind him. As Spike kept walking she began to her voices. They sounded familiar but Luna wasn't sure who's voices they were. As they got farther into the darkness Luna realized where they were. It was Spikes memory hall again. But the cuts in the walls were now much bigger. Instead of seeing just a glimpse Luna could see everything going on.

And what she saw broke her heart. From see Spike being left on a melting ice block to being used as nothing more than a simple slave Luna saw it all. For one of the first times Luna could remember... she cried. She cried because she saw what spike had to go through. She cried because she thought that spike was fine because she thought Spike was happy with his friends and family, but she cried the most because she didn't notice her own nephew was hurt because of his 'family'.

Her tears began to blind her while looking at the memories of the young drake. She could no longer see what Spike. All she could see where the tears of herself.

Luna didn't know what to think. She was a alicorn. One of the strongest beings in equestria. There were not many who could match her power, she could take down hundreds of enemies at a time, but her she was crying like a foal scared of the dark because she couldn't see her nephew was in pain. She was to focused on Twilight and the others to realized somedragon needed her more.

She wiped her tears away and saw spike was sitting next to her looking at the poor alicorn crying. She looked at him and he looked at her. Luna's tears had already gone and now here they were. Staring at eachother waiting for the other to speak first.

Luna took the opportunity to apologize to her nephew and see if she could make things right. "Spike I know I have not been there for you when you needed somepony but I want to be here now."

Luna looked to him for a response. He didn't say anything. Luna feared that spike wouldn't exempt her apology but her fears quickly dissolved.

"Luna I can't be made at you for not noticing me. Your a princess who lives in Canterlot. You have thousands upon thousands of ponies dreams to watch over. I can't expect someone like you to notice one little dragon in a see of ponies isn't well. I don't blame you for not being there and I certainly don't blame you for anything that's happened. You've been here before and all I want you to know is that... your forgiven" Spike said.

Luna hugged Spike with small tears forming in her eyes. They stayed hugged for a while before Luna let go and looked back at Spike.

"Spike I will talk to Twilight Sparkle and Tia about this. They most know they're mistakes". Luna said.

"No don't, this is something I have to deal with on my own. I need to talk to them myself". Spike said calmly. He had a small smirk on his face but Luna could not see it.

Luna sighed. "As you which Spike. I will not intervene and will leave this issue to you. But if you ever need somepony Spike I'm here just remember".

"Don't worry aunt Luna I will. Besides who else am I gonna talk to in my dreams." He chuckled.

Luna giggled as well before suddenly she began to fade away. "It looks like my time has cut short Spike I will see you again soon". Then she faded away leaving only Spike in his subconscious.

He smirked to himself.

"Don't worry Luna ill take care of them.... myself" he chuckled to himself.

As he was talking to himself the darkness around him began to surround him. He was beginning to wake up, but just before he woke up to dark red dragon eyes were seen in the darkness.

The last thing that was heard was Spikes chuckling before he disappeared in a cloud of green smoke.
