2004 AW

Nightmare arrived in another dream. The dreamer this one belonged to was dreaming of a bathroom with bubbles everywhere. Looking at the bathtub, she saw a gray mare blowing bubbles and giggling. Tilting her head, Nightmare turned to face her. The mare didn't seem to notice her as she was having too much fun blowing bubbles and playing with the sudsy water. Her breasts were half under the water but they appeared to be D-cups. The gray mare's eyes were also different than most, as if they were looking in two different directions.

Nightmare crossed her arms, looking her over. This mare was pretty cute and she was debating whether or not to scare her. Part of her wanted to leave her alone. Part of her wanted to scare the hell out of her. Another part wanted to join her. Holding her own head, Nightmare closed her eyes and thought. She's always turned dreams into nightmares but only because she enjoyed it. Would she enjoy turning this mare's dream into a nightmare? Something about her was... attractive.

She was ripped from her thoughts when she heard the mare speak. “Hello.”

Looking over at her, Nightmare smiled lightly. “Hey...”

The gray pegasus tilted her head. “Who are you?” She asked curiously.

Nightmare crossed her arms and looked the mare in the eyes. “You aren’t afraid?”

“Afraid?” Asked the mare with a smile. “Why? You aren’t doing anything. Besides, this is a dream. If anything scary happens I’ll just wake up.”

“You... know you’re dreaming?” The bat pony asked. This mare was smarter than she looked.

“Of course!” The mare giggled. “If I wasn’t, I couldn’t do this.” Without hesitation, she reached into the water and pulled out a muffin before scarfing it down.

Nightmare smiled. “Interesting. You’ve figured out how to control your dream.”

“So, who are you, anyways?” The pegasus asked.

“Nightmare,” the red mare cooed. “And you?”

“Derpy!” The gray mare giggled, splashing the water. “Do You wanna come in?” She asked. “The water’s always warm and the bubbles are always bubbly!”

Nightmare chuckled and shrugged. “Why not?” With a snap of her fingers, her clothes disappeared.

When she started approaching the tub, Derpy sat up against her side of the tub, pulling her knees up to her chest. Her chest, which was now on display. Nightmare stared at the mounds as she sat down, keeping her own knees against her chest.

"Would you like a muffin?" Derpy asked, holding out a chocolate chip one.

Nightmare eyed it and reached out, taking it. "Um... Thank you?" She said questioningly. "I, uh... have never tasted one before, so... this will taste like nothing to me."

Derpy blinked a few times before shrugging. "I don't follow."

The bat pony chuckled lightly and leaned back against the tub. "See, I'm not a manifestation of your subconscious, Derpy. I'm real. Like you in the waking world. It's just... the Dream World is my home. I was created here. So, I know very little of how things feel, smell, and taste. Except for what my m... Except for what my creator showed me. Since I have never tasted a muffin in the real world, my brain won't understand what my taste buds tell it. Understand?"

Derpy thought for a moment before nodding. "Makes sense. It's like... if you've never tasted ice cream before... you wouldn't actually know what it tastes like."

Nightmare nodded as she examined the muffin. "Exactly... However..." She then looked up at Derpy. "you could tell me..."

"Huh?" Asked the gray mare. "How?"

"Your mind," Nightmare explained. "My creator has power in the dream world and can just transfer certain feelings to me so I know what it feels like— hugs and kisses, that sort of thing. But, someone like you... Your mind here is connected to your mind in the waking world. While one sleeps, one is awake. Maybe I can scan your brain to know what a muffin feels and tastes like..."

"Scan my brain?" Derpy asked, wide-eyed and looking nervous. "U-Uh..."

"It's painless," Nightmare cooed, setting the muffin on the floor outside the tub. "Just... spread your legs. I need to get close."

"S-Spread my... my legs?" the pegasus asked with a blush.

"Do you want me to enjoy a muffin?" Nightmare asked, getting to her knees. "I need to read your mind to know what it tastes like."

Derpy hesitated in nervousness before slowly spreading her legs, a huge blush on her face. Nightmare smiled and leaned forward, reaching over the mare's legs and setting them down on the floor of the tub near the mare's butt. Now, their faces were mere inches apart. The gray mare's blush was more visible this close up, making the bat pony smile.

"Just relax," Nightmare cooed, reaching her right hand up and placing her fingertips on the side of the mare's head. When she did, she could feel her brain understand everything there was to know about muffins. "There... I have it," she said, placing her palm to the mare's head. "Thank you."

Derpy smiled lightly. "You're welcome."

The red mare eyed the gray breasts before looking the mare in the eyes again, smiling before pulling away and taking her spot at her end of the tub. "Now, for the muffin," she said, reaching over the edge to pick the muffin up. "Taste test." Bringing it to her mouth, she took a bite. Immediately, her eyes opened wide. "Oh, my fuck," she said with a mouthful of muffin, before shoving the rest inside. As she chewed, her lips were covered in crumbs. Seeing Derpy's amused smirk, she stopped chewing, cheeks puffed out. "What?"

"Oh, nothing," the gray mare replied with a giggle. "You just have some here," she said, tracing her own lips with a finger.

Nightmare licked her lips to get the rest of the crumbs, showing off her long, serpent-like tongue. "Did I get it?"

Derpy watched her long tongue disappear back into her mouth before smiling and nodded. "Yeah, you got them."

Swallowing, Nightmare let out a sigh. "Damn, that was good..." Swiping her hand through the air, another muffin appeared in her grasp before she shoved it in her mouth.

Derpy smiled and pulled a muffin of her own out of the tub before biting it. She watched as Nightmare swallowed her second muffin ever. "You like?"

"Oh, yeah," the nightmare mare sighed. "Mmm... I feel like I should repay the favor..." she said, licking her lips. "You let me experience the wonder of the muffin. I wonder if there's anything I could help you with..." she said, her eyes going to the mare's breasts.

Derpy followed her gaze and blushed, pulling her legs up to cover her mounds. "I-I don't think we're... quite there yet..."

"Oh, but we're close?" Nightmare asked with a chuckle. "As much as I would love to... just take you here and now... since you wouldn't be able to stop me... I like you, Derpy. You're cute. And, I'm willing to wait until you're ready. However, if you'd like... we could share a kiss?"

"A... A kiss?" Derpy asked with a blush.

Nightmare chuckled and nodded. "Yeah. Just one kiss. Or two, if you like it."

The pegasus hesitated, biting her lip in thought. "Um... O-Okay... Just one. And, I... I like you, too," she replied with a smile.

The red mare leaned forward and placed her hands where they were before, her face close to the mare's. The two locked eyes as their hearts raced. This was the first time they would kiss someone who they were truly interested in. For Derpy, this would be her first kiss ever.

Nightmare closed the gap as their lips pressed together. Both mares closed their eyes and Nightmare placed her right hand on Derpy’s cheek. The gray mare instinctively put her hands on the red mare’s waist. Nightmare then pressed her chest to the pegasus’ as they both moaned at the kiss. Soon, they pulled back an inch, both still staring the other in the eye.

“How was that?” Nightmare asked.

Derpy smiled. “It felt amazing.”

“We could go further,” Nightmare teased, leaning in to kiss the mare’s neck.

The gray pegasus chuckled softly. “H-How much further? We just met...”

“True...” the bat pony agreed. “But, who knows if we’ll meet again... I am currently on a mission to try and break out into the real world. That may take up all my free time...

"Well, if you do get out," Derpy said with a smile. "we can go all the way. But... why don't we take it slow for now?"

Nightmare sighed and rested her head on Derpy's left breast. "Fine..." she said, her arms around the mare's body, hugging her tightly.

Derpy patted her head with a smile. "Visit me when you can. We can have dream dates."

The bat pony chuckled. "Dream dates... Cute..." Sitting up, she looks Derpy in the eyes. "Speaking of cute... what's up with your eyes?"

"Oh, that's from a car accident eleven years ago," Derpy explained with a light smile.

Nightmare leaned in again and gently stroked the mare's cheek. "How do you see?" She asked, noticing one eye was looking at her while the other one was looking elsewhere.

"I can choose which eye is the dominant one and I see through that one," the pegasus continued explaining.

"I see..." the red mare said, before giving the mare's cheek a kiss. "Theoretically, I can make this dream last forever, yet you'd still only be asleep for a few hours... though, I don't want you getting bored of me..."

Derpy giggled at that. "I don't think I could get bored of you, Nightmare. Especially here, where you can do anything. But, I would rather hang out in the real world."

"Me, too..." Nightmare sighed, before smiling lightly. "I'll leave you to wake up so I can continue trying to get out of here..."

The gray pegasus nodded. "Visit me tomorrow night?"

The dream mare chuckled and pressed her nose to Derpy's. "Try and stop me."

Nightmare kissed her on the lips lovingly before the mare and the tub and the bubbles all disappeared. When she was alone again, Nightmare stood up and hugged herself. Did she really find someone she could love? Did the mare believe her to be real? Or did she really think she was just a dream? Only way to know for sure was to get out of this hell.

2015 AW

Nightmare searched through a bunch of dreams when she found a rather adorable-looking yellow pegasus mare with long pink hair. Apparently, this mare was already having a nightmare. This was new to Nightmare. Usually she was the one to ruin the sleep of others. But, this mare was already terrified of something. Peering in, she saw the yellow mare hiding under her bed while a purple unicorn walked around her room.

"Fluttershy?" The purple unicorn cooed in a sinister tone, holding a metal pipe. "Where are you?" The pegasus closed her eyes and whimpered. Hearing the noise, the unicorn threw the bed across the room with her magic, grinning evilly at the pegasus. "There you are," she said, raising the pipe. The yellow mare screamed and the dream faded away.

"The fuck was that?" Nightmare asked. Curious, she looked into the dreams of the purple unicorn. This one was dreaming about beating a white mare with long yellow hair to death while the yellow pegasus watched in fear. "Now, this one has some fear I can use," Nightmare cooed with a smirk. "So... much... fear..."
