In Canterlot:

Luna sighed quietly as she lay awake in her room, she was attempting to decipher what was causing her sister to be so angry. Her long and deep thoughts were interrupted as a letter appeared over top of her and dropped right down onto her bed. “Hm? Why is Twilight sending me a letter?” She muttered.

She slowly opened it up and examined the contents.

‘Princess Luna. Recently a human arrived in Ponyville, he saved both my life, and my friends lives while nearly giving up his own. He suffered heavy blood loss, and has been unconscious for the past three days, but, when I saw him awake for the first time today he seemed tired, even well beyond the blood loss. I was wondering if maybe you could help him out with sleeping… maybe make his nights dreamless, or if you can’t for whatever reason Celestia maybe you could teach me how to enter dreams? I mean… it’d be nice to learn more from you. And I too have been having nightmares since I saw the beast that came through with him… I think maybe if I help solve his nightmares… it’ll solve mine. I’m awaiting your response in whatever measure you can provide, I hope it’s good and Celestia didn’t get ahold of this letter… She seemed, hateful towards him, even though we know nothing about him. Did… something happen between Celestia and humans in the past, or… is it just she’s scared of something else that happened? If you don’t know that’s fine… I just, hope we can make her see that maybe, he isn’t bad. Your friend, Twilight Sparkle.’

“Oh my… Twilight.” Luna sighed softly. “Mmm… For now, I desire to calm Celestia down… maybe just listening to her directly will be helpful for that… but…” She tapped her chin before standing up. “Commander Nightingale!” She called.

Within moments the Bat Pony commander appeared before her, “Yes Mistress? What will you have of me?”

“I want you and a few other special officers to go to my old quarters… each of them. And locate my manuscripts on dreams and the dream world. Deliver them directly to Twilight. Let no other guards know of your mission, as my sister will surely disapprove of it and order you to stop.”

“We do n-”

“For now, you and all the bat ponies will, unless it’s to terrorize any inhabitants of Ponyville, regardless of species. When sister’s calmed down a touch more, I’ll talk to her about her recent actions. But until then, find those manuscripts and any magical documents hidden away. Deliver them directly to Twilight Sparkle, and if she needs anything else of you and your team, you are to do it promptly.”

“Yes Mistress! We’ll leave before the sun sets today. And if all goes well, we’ll have them to her by sun up tomorrow.” Nightingale saluted.

“Good. Your speed and efficiency are exactly why you’re the commanding officer. Now, good luck on your misson.” She saluted back as the commander left the room. “But, you’re far too serious…” She chuckled softly, soon a pen and paper appeared in her hand.

Celestia must have been monitoring her magic (but not her orders as the entire tower Luna lived in was blocked from any outside ears) as she appeared inside the room within moments. “What are yo-”

“Twilight’s having nightmares. I’m just telling her as per your all encompassing decision, I can’t help her. She also asked how I was doing, is it suddenly a new crime to talk with her since I’m not allowed to leave Canterlot because of you?” Luna challenged, sitting down at her desk.

Celestia sighed. “No… no it isn’t. Luna, I… want to appologize to y-”

“Sister. I’m not the one who needs an apology. I know what you’ve given up in the past to protect Equestria, and you just don’t want to lose Twilight and her friends. But, she doesn’t see it that way. Especially after… what was it? They met Zecora? Quite strange how having her make friends made her want to make friends and make others feel more welcome, isn’t it?” Luna mused quietly. “I have no desire to anger you, or put any more stress into your life. So, as of now, Ponyville is out of my hands… come what may.”

“Luna that’s…”

“If I remember your exact words were.... Whoever you were viewing dreams for that had those nightmares STAY OUT OF THEIR DREAMS! You, and every other pony in Equestria are NOT to do anything to help him, whoever he is, until I DETERMINE HE’S FIT TO REMAIN HERE!” Luna mimicked Celestia’s outburst from a few days ago. “Am I right?”

Celestia’s bit her lip. “He’s…”

“He’s what? Nearly dead in a hospital now? How can he cause harm. You and I both know, we’re most vulnerable when we sleep. It’s hard to hide anything from your unconscious mind. And I can tap into that. But, since you’re all knowing I’ll just stay back. Hopefully we won’t miss anything of importance because of you being petty, Sister.” Luna finished writing her letter to Twilight and sent it off via a spelll. “Now. If you’d please, I don’t desire any extra stress. Since my return, I’ve been trying to help as many ponies as possible with their sleep… and you’ve cut off the closes group of friends I’ve ever had. So, I wish to sleep.” She stood up. “Good day Sister. If you’re lucky I may see you at dinner.” Luna waved Celestia off, teleporting the solar Princess out of her room. “You won’t be.” She destroyed the letter Twilight sent her, making sure Celestia wouldn’t catch wind of any plans that she was making.

In Ponyville:

Twilight was half way back to the hospital when the letter was teleported to her.

“Already?” Twilight muttered.

‘Dear Twilight Sparkle: Sister is having a hissy fit over this human. I cannot help him. I wish for her to realize how horrible a mistake this is… so if ponies start having nightmares, do make sure to send a letter to my sister for every single one until she’s forced to change her mind and realize she isn’t a dictator. But, seeing as I can’t help you directly… I have a select force of my highest ranking guards scouring my various hovels and homes for anything that can help you get into the dreamworld. Knowing your magical prowess you should come close to besting me… if you were fifteen years younger. You are twenty four, right? My… I believe I missed somepony’s birthday. Please do tell me if I did, and I’ll try to make it right. One final thing, when the guards arrive, direct Nightingale to remain in Ponyville… he’s been working every day since I came back, and he needs a break. What orders you give him is your choice. I hope to hear from you again soon, and do tell me how useful you find my research and books. Your loving friend Luna.’

Twilight’s face lit up, she didn’t actually expect Luna would teach her how to enter her domain! Celestia didn’t even attempt to teach her how to control heat and fire, telling her own student she wasn’t gifted in all magics, just arcane. “Sweet!” She cheered quietly, making sure to destroy the letter so no pony would know what was to come. “Hmm… hopefully he won’t mind a late night visit… I’ll need to discuss it with the hospital staff and guards though…” Twilight muttered, moving quickly to the hospital. She had something new she could do for her new friend… and she was going to try her hardest to make it work.

Author's Note

Just realized I marked this as chapter 7 XD That was a mistake on my part. Quickly put the chapter title in and posted.
