Dawn's new day.

"I just cant do it any more Bonnie, I don't know what to do." A familiar, sobbing voice said from an alley, I moved my way closer while sticking close to the wall to listen. "All they do is fight and try to drag me into it, If it weren't for your letters I don't know what I would do. It's why I had to finally come see you."

After poking my head around the corner I could not see that It was Lyra crying against Bon Bon's side. Bon Bon's ear flicked in my direction but otherwise ignored my presence, "Lyra, If things are that bad I will need to report it to the Princess."

"You can't!" Lyra gasped and wiped some of her tears away, "I'll end up in an orphanage which would be worse since then I couldn't even go to CSGU and who knows where I'll end up. I couldn't stand living further from you." Lyra nuzzled Bon Bon who just sighed and hugged her back.

"Well isn't this just lucky," An unknown voice said from behind me before I was unceremoniously bucked into the alley shocking both fillies as I screamed out in pain.

"Dawn?," Lyra asked confused, "What's going..?"

She was cut off by the husky female voice of the new arrival, "Here I was thinking I would have to track you both down separately yet to my pleasant surprise you are both in one convenient location."

Bon Bon took up a fighting stance as she stepped between us and the mare as I tried to regain my footing, struggling to breathe. What the hay was that.

"Dawn are you ok, what's going on?" Lyra tried helping me up.

"Don't you dare come any closer to them." Bon Bon Yelled at the approaching Earth pony mare.

"Well now, it looks like they have their own little body guard," The dark brown mare mocked, "If you don't want to get hurt sweetie I suggest you step aside and let me get what I came for."

I managed to get back on my feet as Bon Bon stared daggers at the Mare, huffing, "Not a chance. You will have to get through me to get to them."

The mare gave a grim smile, "Perfect."

"Hey Breezy, Pear, have either of you seen Dawn?" Morning Dew asked her wife and Mare friend after entering the living room of the Apple family farmhouse.

"Nope, Haven't seen the colt since he walked out after we finished explaining everything." Forest Breeze replied from the couch where she was pressed close to Pear Butter's side.

"Well It's getting late and I'm getting worried about him. Applejack and Big mac are both in the house and haven't seen him either." She was fretting on her hooves and looking nervous, "I just have a bad feeling."

Pear chimed in, "Ponyville is a safe town and maybe he is just out at the treehouse again, he was a bit shocked by the news of us all dating."

"Yeah I bet Pear is right," Breeze agreed.

Dew Joined them both on the couch, "You both are probably right, I just wish I knew where he was so I wouldn't have to worry so much."

Pain, That was the only thing I could feel as I was tossed like luggage onto what I assumed was a train car. I heard a second thump from inside the bag I was confined, as Lyra was thrown close beside me. What the Buck is going on? I was being reminded this was not the Equestira from a kids show but the real word, all from being foal napped. Not that I needed the reminder.

I groaned in pain and tried to light my horn but nothing happened, Great the bag has magic nullification or something. As I laid on my side struggling to breath I could hear Lyra sobbing from close by. "Lyra, we will be ok."

"Fat chance of that," the mare that attacked us said. "You two must have really upset someone with deep pockets for them to hire someone like me to come get you." I could hear her grunt as she closed the train car's door. "Now then, you two have fun in silence." I felt something solid held by a hoof touch the bag then everything went quiet. Great a sound blocking crystal.

I was scared. It was dark, it was silent, and I had no idea why this was happening. Not to mention she said she was looking for both Lyra and I but why.

I tried moving closer to where I thought Lyra was but a hoof suddenly smacked into my head and I was knocked out.

"I want a divorce so Get out!" The woman yelled at me while throwing a folder at me. "I don't want you in this house and I dont want to have to see you any more."

"YOU want a divorce? You're the one going out on weekends and have apparently been cheating on me while I bust my ass working night shifts. You may want me out but I don't legally have to leave so why dont you go if you want to get away from me." I yelled back. Oh it's this nightmare. I internally sighed but couldn't break the memory.

"And yet I still make more than you so get out of MY house." She yelled again.

"YOUR house?! Who cares if you make more when you spend it all to go out partying every weekend while I actually pay the bills. But, you know what, you can keep the damn house after you buy my half and try to pay for it yourself. Do that and I'll move out." I slammed the door to my home office with my magic looking over the divorce papers in my hooves while fuming at my desk.

"Such a strong nightmare for one so young." A new voice said from my side.

I looked around the now open field covered in a dark mist that I was now sitting in. After taking a deep calming breath I loafed in the grass and spoke, "Yeah it wasn't the best time but things actually got so much better when she was gone. I just wish I could say the same about my current predicament."

"Oh, so are you scared of us?" The voice teased.

"Nah, I'm currently foal napped so why would I be scared of a nightmare or you Nightmare Moon?" I sighed. I really am bucked.

Nightmare Moon showed a mixed expression as she walked out of the mist looking me over. "You are a strange one Balanced Dawn, We have been watching your dreams for many a night yet We still dont understand how a foal your age can have them. Let alone how We can see your dreams yet none of our other subjects'." She loafed in front of me to look me in the eye.

"As strange as a Nightmare clinging to Princess Luna?" I snarked.

There was a flash of anger on her face enhanced with lightning flashing in the background. "Never Use that name! We are Nightmare Moon!"

"Fine, Nightmare Moon." I placated, which worked. "What can I help you with tonight?"

"Nothing at all. I am here to help you since we are finally able to speak. Your natural defenses are so high that I have been unable to until now." She practically purred. They must be down with my magic blocked or maybe since I'm injured.

"So Monnie what are you going to help me with and why?" I snarked.

She narrowed her eyes then smiled, showing off her fangs, "Why, escaping of course and simply because you are the only one I can talk to from my prison."

I managed to feel a chill down my spine even inside the dream.

"Doctor we have an emergency!" The night nurse yelled after rushing into his office.

"Lead the way," the young Doctor Horse calmly got up from his desk, "What's the patient's condition?"

"Not good, she has multiple bruises, cuts, and probably a broken rib or two." The nurse explained. Both sped up after the night nurse explained her patient's injuries.

"Sweet Celestia what happened to her?" Doctor Horse asked. When he finally saw his newest charge he first mistook the cream coated young mare for red due all the blood.

"According to a witness she was attacked while defending two others who were foalnapped. The guards were alerted, but they need to know who was taken and any other details. They asked us to let them know when she," the nurse motioned to the young mare on the gurney, "wakes up."

"Well lets make sure she will make it through the night first." He replied then began slowly treating the injuries he could with magic after finishing his preliminary scan. "go prep the MRI, I'm going to need detailed scans to fix her internals once I get her stable. Also some mana potions, I have a feeling I'm going to need all the magic I can get."

The nurse nodded and got to work.

"So they are finally on the way?" Gilded Sunrise asked with a smile and a drink in her hoof while her fellow herd mates listened approvingly.

"Yes, It looks like we finally hired someone competent, I just received the missive via magical scroll a few moments ago." Evening Frost told her parents.

"Excellent, I can't wait to finally meat this grandcolt of mine along with our other purchase." Onyx Star laughed.

Celestia was not happy. She had just been alerted that the wards on one of her S.M.I.L.E. agents from Ponyville had been broken. Sweetie Drops was apparently one of the newer members and had Just been assigned to the area from Canterlot in preparations for her plans in a few years.

"Attacked while defending two foals and is now in the hospital?" She asked the mare who was giving her the report.

"Yes mam, her cover is still intact but unfortunately we do not know who she was defending or any other information."

Celestia sighed and rubbed her muzzle, "Thank you for the report, I'll let the guard handle it from here since her cover is intact."

The mare saluted and left while Celestia took a sip of her, now boiling, tea and talked to herself. "Somepony must not know what happens when they attack My little ponies."
