The Princess of the night princess Luna was in the dream scape as she did he nightly dream walking so that she could help all of the ponies within their dreams where there thoughts turn into reality.

Luna holds her job in high regard, while yes Celestia gets recognition during the day Luna gets her pleasure from helping the ponies get through their problems that manifest into horrible nightmares and seeing the smiles on the ponies faces after her assistants, it's the only thanks she really needs.

As Luna continued or her stroll she saw more and more of her friends having nice and peaceful dreams. Discord was in a world similar to the way he manipulated the world over a thousand years ago, except this time he was sharing his creation with his pony friends as they all drank chocolate milk and ate cheese cake... While Luna found it very odd she was still glad that Discord could share his.. "creations" if you could call it that.

Twilight was having a dream where she was in the library of her castle as she studied magic with her idol and Luna's past leader Star swirl the bearded, Twilight had an extremely wide smile throughout the entire thing as if she was having the most amazing day day she'll ever have for a thousand years.

Rainbow Dash was having a dream where she was fighting the previous ruler of the changeling queen chrysalis, while in reality this situation would extremely worry her, however since this world practically followed the laws of the young wonderbolt Chrysalis seemed like a walk in the park. Luna chuckled slightly at the sight before she continued walking on.

Apple jack was having a dream where she was having a peaceful day in sweet apple acres with her family and friends, Luna couldn't help but smile to see that Apple Jack appeared to be as happy as she could be with what she had in her life.

Rarity was having a dream where she was preparing dresses and suits for every single pony in equestria, possibly even more as there seemed to have set ups for animals such as Bulls, Tigers, Lions, raccoons and much more, there was even a dress for Luna herself, it really fit with her title as the princess of night Luna had to admit.

Pinkie Pie was having a food fight with everyone in pony vill, it was something she liked to call her "falling asleep party" which she held in her dream every night, it seemed that she tried to make the event more hectic every day, she indeed had a special gift.

Fluttershy was having a dream where her and her friends were all playing with all of the yellow Pegasus's animal friends that Fluttershy held extremely dear to her heart, it was rare that Fluttershy would have a nightmare due to how peaceful her life was which was definitely a relief.

Luna continued to trot peacefully through her dreamscape, everything was going perfectly well and Luna had a bright smile on her face after seeing all of the ponies peaceful dreams.

However all of a sudden a strange feeling came to the princess of the night, it was a stinging feeling that was used as a warning to tell her that someone was having a nightmare that Luna had to assist them with, the more serious the nightmare was the more pain the stinging caused and this time it felt as if the feeling was going all over her upper body. It was sort of like a sixth sense to her, while it was a pain princess Luna always took it as a very serious thing no matter how tame the nightmare may be.

Luna quickly transitioned from a trot into a full on gallop as she followed her nightmare sense, as she ran she passed the dream of the princess of the day who was in her throne room which instead of being a wide clean and almost empty space it was now covered in cakes that Celestia was devouring with the spirit of chaos Discord.

Luna began to trot a bit slower as she began to come closer to her destination and discovered that the nightmare was coming from a door that was new to the dreamscape, this was odd as normally new doors signified a new born filly that had just been brought into the world.

However those doors were normally bland and did have any unique traits besides colour ad the door to one's dreamscape was normally structured to fit their personality or special talent or something of the sort.

What made this an even bigger surprise is the fact that Luna had a very clear idea on who's door this may be, it was completely black with shards of dark crystals coming out of the sides all accompanied by a red aura that spread along the door. Luna new exactly who this belonged to.. It was Sombra's! But how?! He was gone! In fact even when Sombra was ruling over the crystal empire he never had a door in the dreamscape, it was unknown to Luna if the unicorn king ever needed sleep or was he awake every passing second.

Luna was still determined however, if someone needed assistance within a Nightmare Luna was their to help, no matter who they may be, as Luna slowly began taking her last few steps to the door the thought loomed over her, what was Sombra afraid of? What scared the unicorn king so much to her point that it would manifest in his dream, not to mention that the nightmare would be so problematic that it would give Luna this pounding headache.

When the princess of the night peaked in through the door she was shocked, as the first thing she saw... Was herself, but it wasn't just her, Celestia, Cadence and even young twilight sparkle.. They were all there, looming over the unicorn king who had the distinct look of fear in his eyes.

Slowly as all the dream created versions of the princesses watched Sombra began to disappear, he began to turn to shadow as he... Begged, he was pleading to the princesses, pleading that they'd spare him.

Luna pulled open the door and quickly swooped into the dream of the unicorn king and flew as fast as she could to get to him on time and release him from this nightmare, but as she got closer the world started to disappear, showing that Sombra was waking from his hellish nightmare.

Princess Luna sprang out of her bed, her heart pounding as she gasped for air, she couldn't believe what she had just seen, it was horrific.

Guards suddenly burst into the room weapons in hoof as they glared around the princesses room "my princess what's wrong?!" one of the guards shouted as he waved his spear around the air as if trying to kill a ghost he thought was looming over the princess "we heard you scream! Is something the matter?" another questioned as he glanced around like he was waiting for something to pop out from nowhere.

Luna let out a sigh of relief before getting out of her bed and standing up straight in a royal fashion "no you are all alright my little ponies. I can assure you that all is well, I just had a bad experience within my dreams is all, you have nothing to concern yourselves with, though I appreciate your concern"

The solders all nodded and began walking out of Luna's bed Chambers one after another. Luna smiled before she herself excited her room, this situation did indeed have to be discussed with her elder sister Celestia.

Luna walked walked to the balcony outside of where the princesses usually had their breakfast where Celestia was lifting the sun. Celestia turned to her younger sister greeting her with a smile "morning Luna, I hope you slept well"

Luna raised an eyebrow as she held a cheeky smirk on her face "yes and I know you did, so how's 'dream discord'" Luna joked.

Celestia blushed slightly in embarrassment before walking away from the balcony and sat down at the table "um, yes I did indeed, uh sleep well thank you Luna, but I couldn't help but hear the solders who rushed too your room, why I felt they may have over reacted with how they took the situation" Celestia asked with a hint of concern in her voice.

The moon princess sighed before she sat opposite her elder sister as Celestia passed her a plate of moon shaped cupcakes "sister.. While I was in the dreamscape I saw something I never thought I'd see"

Celestia had not yet touched the cake that she had in front of her as she rested her head on her hoofs listening closely to her sister "is one of our friends troubled by something sister?" Celestia asked, more concern in her voice, even through some of the most troubling nightmares Luna never seen it as a problem or surprising, she could deal with all of her dream situations while staying calm cool and collected, every time Luna talked about someone's nightmares and how she helped Luna made it sound so simple wall Celestia was amazed on how the princess of the night could ever do it.

Luna took a deep and took a bite out of one of her cupcakes before she began "I saw the dream of.. Of King Sombra"

Celestia's mouth dropped in disbelief "a-are you sure Luna?" Celestia asked, her voice quivering but the younger princess nodded in confirmation "well um... What did.. What did you see?" Celestia asked still attempting to wrap her head around the thought of the same Sombra that took over an entire kingdom returning once again.

Luna took a deep breath once again "he.. He was having a nightmare.." if your eyebrows could ever go higher than your head Celestias eyebrows most certainly would have achieved this feat a the look of this belief only became more clear as Luna continued "you and I along with the other princesses turned him.. Into shadow.... He was scared.. Terrified even, I'm.. Worried about it, I'm worried about him. I think I should find him and see what's wro-"

"LUNA! YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! IT'S TOO DANGEROUS!" Celestia protested.

Luna raised an eyebrow "are you claiming that you don't trust my sense of judgement sister?" Luna questioned before taking another bite of her cupcake.

Celestia let out a sigh as she composed herself "I do trust you Luna... I'm just worried is all.. I mean.. This is Sombra we are talking abou-"

Celestia was cut off by her younger sisters hoof hitting against the table "he may be King Sombra! But I am princess Luna! It is my job to help ponies with their fears!" Luna protested.

Celestia smiled and nodded "alright, if that's how you see it then I respect that, this is your choice that has to do with your role as princess and I can never change that" Celestia accepted and Luna smiled at her older sisters approval.

"thank you sister, I promise that I will be careful when dealing with Sombra and I will also make sure that he doesn't get up to anything that could be seen as problematic. But now onto something more interesting" Luna began with a smirk "Discord was dreaming about you last night"

Celestia coughed on her cake before spitting it back out on the plate.

Once the two immortal princesses finished their discussion they changed to much more uplifting matters, with the two princesses sharing laughs together as they enjoyed their meal, but as they enjoyed their food the question still loomed in Luna's mind. Could she really do this?
