The First Nightmare

It was a calm night in Ponyville. The beautiful moon was out and everypony was sound asleep, well expect one pony. Twilight Sparkle has been having trouble sleeping. Twilight has resonantly turned into an alicorn and she has been having some nightmares.

* * *

Twilight Sparkle found herself in a dark room. Nothing was there just her.

"Huh where am I?" Twilight asked herself.

"Your're here." said a voice coming for the everlasting darkness.

"Who's there and where am I?"

"This is what I see and how I feel."

"I still don't understand!"

"You still don't. Your with me" a filly appeared in the room. Her mane and coat were as black as night, but she had an unicorn horn and a pair of wings. "And that's all that matters." The filly showed a smile, but her teeth were as sharp as razors and her glowed red. The filly was pure evil. Then the filly started to giggle and faded back into the darkness.
"Where did you go and that face of yours wasn't normal for a filly." Then the walls started to close in on Twilight. " Whats going on? The walls are close in. They're going to crush me." Twilight was worried. She was trapped and the wall are still moving closer, almost to the point were she couldn't run around the room. "Help!" Twilight yelled, but no pony and the walls were closing in fast. "Somepony help!" still no answer or sign of anypony. The was were now making contact with Twilight and started to crush her. "Please somepony help! Rainbow Dash! Fluttershy! Rarity! Apple Jack! Pinkie Pie! Please somepony help!" Twilight started to cry from the pain and the fact that nopony would help her.

"No pony will help you and you will be consumed by the madness."

"Twilight wake up! Wake up Twilight!" Spike was shaking and yelling at Twilight to get her to wake up.

AHHHHH! Twilight screamed when she awoke for her nightmare.

"Where am I?" Twilight screamed

"You're in your bed at home." Spike replied. "It looked like you were having a really bad dream Twilight." Twilight heart was racing, her hooves were sweaty, and she was shaking with fear.

"Twilight are you alright?" Spike asked worried for Twilight.

"I'm fine Spike. It was just a bad dream." Twilight lied.

"Are you sure you're OK?"

"Yes, I just need to take a walk. I'll be back before lunch."

"OK then." Twilight grabbed her saddlebag and walked out of the library, but the dream she had was still bothering her. She kept on think about it. She wanted to know who that filly was. Twilight thought that maybe Zecora might have a remedy for nightmares. Twilight headed to the Everfree Forest she was a little spectacles at first, but she didn't want her friends to worry. Twilight entered the EverFree Forest it was dark as night. She could hardly she where she was going. After a couple of minutes walking blindly she saw a light peeking through the trees. "That must be it."

* * *

Zecora was at home cooking up a recipe for her book in her cauldron, but then there was a knock at the door. "I wonder who that could be, a pony visiting me this early." Zecora opened her door to find Twilight on the other side.

"Hi Zecora."

"Hello Twilight, meeting you is such a delight."

"Thank you Zecro, but I was wondering if you had anything for bad dreams."

"If there are nightmare haunting your mind, there might be a flower that you can find."

"What is this flower called?"

"This is a rare flower known as Morning's Power."

"Where can I find Morning's Power?"

"The flower that you seek, can be found by the Ever Creek."

"What does this flower do?"

"The Morning's Power is a special plant, it will get rid of nightmares just like that."

"Oh thank you Zecora!"

"Are you going to tell your friends too, after all they care about you."

"It is just a little nightmare, I don't want them to worry."

"You're always welcome back, stop by again and we can chat." Zecora waved bye to Twilight as she left her house.

After Twilight left Zecora's house, she started wandered around the Everfree Forest trying to find Ever Creek. Ever Creek is a mysterious creek that lies in the middle of the Everfree Forest, but it is rumored that the creek moves every hour, the creek is not that big, about 20 feet. So the creek is very hard to find because the creek moves in a random pattern.

After walking for hours Twilight grew tired and decided to rest for a bit. "Ugh I never going to find Ever Creek and the sun is about to set. I should start heading back home." Twilight got up and started to head back home. Twilight was hoping that she wouldn't have another dream again.

Twilight was close to the forest edge and was about to return home, but when she was almost out of the forest she flew into a hole. "OwOwOw! Stupid hole." Twilight got up and saw what she fell in. Twilight saw that she did not fall in a hole, but the Ever Creek. "Yes I found Ever Creek." Twilight was jumping with joy. "Now I have to find Morning's Power, but what does it look like?" Twilight looked around the small creek until is found a beautiful flower. The pedals on top were red, orange, and yellow. Those colors looked like the sun rising, but the bottom pedals were black, blue, and white and those pedals looked like moon setting, but the flower itself had a radiant glow. "This must be Morning's Power and it looks so beautiful, but I have to eat it." Twilight slow lend in and ate the flower, the taste was sweet, but bitter and it was delicious. When Twilight was finished her eyes started to glow and the nightmare flashed before her eyes and then the dream was gone. "Yes it worked I don't remember the nightmare!" Twilight wore a big smile on her face as she headed back home.

* * *

When Twilight was back home Spike busted through the door and gave her a hug.

"Twilight I was so worried about you. You said that you would be back by lunch and when you weren't I thought some bad may have happened to you."

"Don't worry Spike I 'm fine." Twilight picked up Spike and hugged him. "I fixed my problem and now I'm back. Everything is OK." Twilight carried Spike to his bed, put him under his blanket, and kissed him goodnight. Then Twilight lied down on her bed and fell asleep.

"You think a little flower can get rid of me."
