Dream Runners

It was like any other night and Luna was getting bored of watching over the sleeping kingdom, so she decided that it was here time to troll. “Guard watch the kingdom for a while as I go check on the dreams of our citizens” Luna commanded.

“Will do your majesty” the Guard replied almost as fast as Luna could command him.

“Let’s see whose dream we will watch over today, ah my sister’s faithful student Twilight Sparkle” Luna said as she entered the sleeping fillies dream.

“Ah Princess Luna what a pleasant surprise, please do come in I was just finishing my one hundred page essay to Celestia” Twilight said beaming with confidence.

A dream about work, the rumours we’re true she really is the biggest egg head in all of Equestria, Luna thought to herself. “So Twilight anything interesting happen today?” asked the Princess.

“Well now that you mention it I couldn’t find my quills today for some reason and” Twilight said as one of the pages in her essay burst into flames. “MY WORK! No no no no no” Twilight screamed as she tried to put out the fire that was burning trough her imaginary essay.

Trying to hold back a chuckle Luna quickly made a Phoenix rise out of the ashes of Twilights work. “Philomena look what you just did to Twilight’s work” Luna said knowing full well that she was the reason the fillies work became phoenix ash, “you should feel very ashamed of yourself now say you’re sorry.”

Twilight who is now crying in the corner over all of her lost work turned to Philomena, who Luna just gave the deepest voice she could come up with. “I’m so sorry babe, why don’t you come on over to my place and I can make it up for you?” the new sexy voiced Philomena said.

Twilight began to shake and her eyes started to twitch as she let out a very loud cry of confusion, fear, and sadness. Luna still trying to hold back her laughter was forced out of Twilight’s head because she had just woke up out of the nightmare that the princess had just put her through.

“Oh wow that was fun that must be why my sister does it” Luna said to herself, “I really need to find another dream to invade on and cause a little fun.”

Pinkie was just, well Luna could not figure out what she was doing as she entered her dream. It looked like she was talking to somepony but nopony was there. Even though Luna knew Pinkie could be random at all times she decided that she would be her next victim.

“Why hello there Pinkie what brings you…” Luna said as she was interrupted by the pink pony.

“SHHHH they’ll run away” Pinkie said with the most serious face Luna had ever seen on the normally happy and cheery pony.

“Pinkie you do know nothing is there?” Luna said trying to find what she is talking to and about.

“You mean you don’t see them? The strange looking creatures right over there.” Pinkie lifted a hoof up and hit an invisible wall. “They never leave me alone…please help.” The now extremely frightened Pony whispered to Luna like she was in danger.

Luna now curious at what had turned the element of laughter into what she think resembles a patient with real bad schizophrenia, decided to walk over to the spot where her hoof stayed resting against. “Pinkie there is nothing here, see.” Luna said as she walked through the spot that the pink ponies hoof had rested.

“No…stop moving! Just leave me alone!” Pinkie screamed at what Luna seemed to be just air.

And just out of nowhere a force held the princess in place and lifted her towards a spot in the air which Pinkie seems really scared off.

“Pinkie what is going on put me down?” Luna just barely got out before the force took away her voice.

“They…They say they want to speak to you, “Pinkie said now even more scared then before, “just stop resisting and they’ll let go.” Luna shook her head and the force had given her, her voice back.

“Ok hello, you wanted to talk to me. Well I am all ears.” Luna said not thinking she’ll get a response.

“Silence.” Boomed a voice that came out of nowhere. “You must leave at once and never come back to this place” Commanded the voice.

“Why should I this pony is my loyal subject and I have the right to stay here” Luna said “if it is anypony who should be going it is you.”

“Fool you do not understand, we do not care about your stupid government, this pony is ours and has been forever.” The voice said as a strange looking face emerged from thin air in front of Luna.

“Pinkie is this what you’ve been seeing?” Luna asked pinkie with great concern on her face.

The pink pony nodded her head. It was worse than what Luna had feared, somehow these creatures had broken he fourth wall and are commanding Pinkie. If Pinkie had any hope of being saved I was now all up to Luna.

“Now princess don’t get any ideas or Pinkie and your other friends will get hurt.” The voice said as five more of these creatures appeared behind it and even more behind them. “You see there are many of us, let us keep this here pony and we shall be on our way.”

“You will never take another one of my friends.” Luna boomed at them. “And you better not show your face around here again.”

As Luna said that even more of these creatures appeared around her. “No one will believe what you saw; no one believes that other pony.” The original voice said to her as Luna was ripped out of Pinkies dream and forced into a dark abyss.

“Huh my head hurts so much” Luna managed to say as she was still half asleep.

“Oh my dear sister you have finally awoken.” The frightened Celestia said leaning over her sister.

“Celestia what do you mean finally it has only been a day.” Luna said still not fully awake.

“Luna you have been sleeping for the past four days, nopony could wake you up.” Celestia said and motioned to the doctor ponies that had been taking care of her.

Luna shot up out of here bed, now fully awake, and realised that she was not where she left herself when she went into ponies dreams. But rather she was in one of the rooms in the hospital in the Canterlot castle, and that it had indeed been four days.

“Luna, do you remember anything that happened that night?” Celestia asked Luna with a face that Luna could tell meant she was going to get revenge on the pony that had done this.

Luna sat there thinking, trying to remember anything that happened that day, but it was like it didn’t even exist. “No sorry sister I cannot remember a single thing from that day.” Luna said trying to fight back the pain that started to pound the inside of her head.

Celestia sighed and trotted out the door, “oh and by the way you have mail.” She said before leaving the room.

Luna jumped out of her hospital bed and ran out of the room, running at full speed towards her own room. Luna rarely gets letters and when she did she always viewed them as important. “But why would somepony send me a letter and most of all while I was knocked out.” Luna thought to herself as she burst into her room looking for the scroll.

“Ah here it is” she said out load picking up the unopened letter. She was happy that Celestia didn’t open it for her and that she could be the first to read it.

“Dear princess Luna, Something bad has returned and I need your help to stop it, Lyra.” Luna read out loud.
She looked at the letter for a while, she rarely ever saw Lyra and what was this thing she needed help with, couldn’t she just go ask Twilight or her friends? Then it hit her everything from that night, Twilight, Pinkie, those creatures and the last thing they said to her. “No one will believe what you saw; no one believes that other pony”. She sat there stunned as the words replayed over and over again in her mind, then she realised that everypony is in danger and she has to go talk to Lyra now.
