Eternal Dream

-Twilight, i´m glad you are finally here.

-Princess, whats going on? Why is everypony having nightmares? What happened to princess Luna?

-Twilight, do you know the duties of Luna as the princess of the night?

-Yeah, to watch over all the ponies while they are sleeping and to take all the nightmares away, wait, that´s whats happening? Why is Luna not doing her work?

-I´m afraid my sister is under a terrible spell that even I cant understand completely, i have only heard rumors of this spell, but i thought it was impossible to make, this spell is not on any of your books or mine, this spell is called, the Eternal Dream, it traps it´s victim in an eternal dream, or an eternal nightmare.

-You are saying that princess Luna... but how is that possible? who did this?

I don't know, but right now we need to break the spell, that's why you are here, you see, there is a spell that allows only one pony to enter someone´s dream, Luna is the only one that can use this spell without wasting too much of her magic so she can enter someone´s dream and talk to the dream´s owner and even interact with them, is her natural ability, but for me, this spell takes too much energy from me and i may not hold it for too long, that´s why i want you to go to Luna´s dream and find her, then you can take her to a place where i can bring her back.

-But Princess Celestia, what if i fail?

-If you fail, i´m afraid you may get trapped in Luna´s dream forever, and the nightmares in Equestria will continue transforming all the happy ponies into scared, sleepless ponies.

-Twilight thought for a second, she knew it was a dangerous trip, but all her friends were at risk, and that Luna needed her. - Ill do it princess.

-Good luck Twilight Sparkle, i have faith on you.

-After princess Celestia told her that, black colored sparkles went out of her horn, and the last thing Twilight could hear was a simple "Save her".

Twilight opened her eyes and she looked around.

-Where am i?

-It was a place like no other, a valley without a limit, she walked and walked but she couldn´t even see the border, she kept walking until she found many trees different kind and size, one of them, an oak tree was dead and it had no leaves, it looked like it was killed by some kind of disease, and she noticed that other trees around were sick too, maybe that was the spell Celestia was talking about, she saw another tree, this one was really green and it was alive, she took a closer look and she notices something weird, a breach, she touched it and in less than a second, she found herself in a weird looking place, big islands were floating all over the place and there were tons and tons of candy trees, where was she? she walked around and then she realized that the islands were moving, but for some reason the island she was standing on, was turning around, like if it was trying to trow her, she got scared and she ran as fast as she could, jumping from island to island, but then right after she jumped, the island she was jumping to moved away as fast as a lighting, she started falling to the empty space under her, she was so scared she couldn't even fly or teleport away, then she noticed she stopped falling, she looked around and the only thing she could see was a little filly looking at her, it was an unicorn filly with a blue coat mane blue hair, and a pair of aquamarine eyes, she looked strangely familiar, but before Twilight could even speak, the filly asked her.

Who are you and what are you doing here?

The Dreamer

What are you doing here?

-The little filly asked again, this time with a more serious tone of voice.

-Uh, who are you?.

-I asked you first, What are you... wait, a horn and wings? ARE YOU A PRINCESS?.

-The serious look of the filly turned into a face of excitement.

-I CANT BELIEVE IT! ANOTHER PRINCESS.

-Wait wait, what do you mean with "another princess".

-Well duh, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna of course, where do you live? a cave?.

-No i don´t live in a cave and i do know about the princesses, but, Who are you?.

-I am, uh, my name is...

-You don't have a name?

-Yes i do! is, uh, i don't remember, you can call me, uh, call me the Dreamer, yes the Dreamer!.

-Ok then Dreamer, do you know where the princesses live?, of course! they live in Canterlot.

And were is Canterlot?.

-You just have to walk on that direction!.

-She pointed to nowhere, Twilight didn't know if she could trust her, but she had no other choice.

-Ok then Dreamer, hey how about if you go with your mother or your father? i´m sure they are worried.

-I don´t have a mom or a dad.

-Do you live with anyone?.

-Nope i live by myself here, i love it here! have you seen all the candies!! i mean, is nice...

-Twilight looked at her, it was a strange little filly, and that name was obviously not her real name, who was she? she was familiar to Twilight but she could remember where have she seen her, but that was not important, she had to leave so she could find Luna and fix everything immediately.

-Well kid, i have to go, have fun and take care.

-Oki doki! you...

-Suddenly the sky turned black, the air was cold and from the sky those huge floating island were slowly falling.

-We have to get out of here, she found me, move.

-Twilight didn´t know what was going on, and before she could even ask, the little filly took her hoof and they both started running, the last thing twilight saw was a very dense mist and a pair of eyes shining, looking at them.

-We did it. That was close, now i need to find another home, before she finds me.

-Who? who is following you?.

-A Nightmare, they go around in the dreams corrupting what they touch, by the way, how did you get on this dream?.

-I am looking for princess Luna, is an emergency, this is her dream right? and how did you get on this dream?.

-Wait, Princess Luna? uhm, yeah i think this is her dream, and i am on this dream because, uhm, oh look! there is a portal there, are you ready to do the jump? of course you are, common follow me!

-The jump?

-Suddenly the filly started running and a big waterfall of different colors appeared, when the filly was about to touch the waterfall, she jumped and the next second she disappeared , Twilight didn't know what to do, but she didn't want  to be alone with that Nightmare following her, so she did the same thing that the Filly did, and when she passed the waterfall, she found herself, at home?

Home?

-Yay! i love this place! i don´t know what the name of this town is but i love it! there is a library, a farm, a store filled with cupcakes, and tons of other stuff.

-You don't know the name of this place?

-Nope, do you?

-Well, this place is called Ponyville.

-How do you know that?

-I live here, since Princess Celestia sent me here i have met a lot of friends, they have helped me in my mission to discover the magic of friendship...

-Yeah whatever, show me your house!

-What do you mean with whatever? this is a nice story you know, but well if you don't wanna hear it then you don't know what you are missing, oh well my house is right there, on that big tree,

-Awesome lets go there

-They walked together to Twilight´s house, the little filly could be kinda annoying, but Twilight liked her, it was nice to be with someone on her journey, with all the pressure of having the faith of the princess on her hands, having someone to speak with is really nice, while Twilight was thinking about that the filly started singing

Fate has been cruel and order unkind

How can I have sent you away?

The blame was my own; the punishment, yours

The harmony's silent today

But into the stillness I'll bring you a song

And I will your company keep

Till your tired eyes and my lullabies

Have carried you softly to sleep

Once did a pony who shone like the sun

Look out on her kingdom and sigh

She smiled and said, "Surely, there is no pony

So lovely and so well beloved as I"

So great was her reign and so brilliant her glory

That long was the shadow she cast

Which fell dark upon the young sister she loved

And grew only darker as days and nights passed

Lullay moon princess, goodnight sister mine

And rest now in moonlight's embrace

Bear up my lullaby, winds of the earth

Through cloud, and through sky, and through space

-Twilight stopped thinking and she started listening to the song, she soon realized that it was a song about princess Luna, but why was the filly singing it?. She didn´t want to ask ´her tough because she knew she wouldn't answer it, but right when she finished singing, the filly told Twilight.

-Is a song that my sister used to sing to me so i could go to sleep, i don´t know what the first part means, but i like it, specially when my sister sings it, she has a beautiful voice.

-Well you sing very well too, you have a sister? where is she?

-I don´t know, i haven´t seen her in a long time.

-Well we arrived, come in, i think you might like it.

-They soon arrived at the old library, the filly looked at all the books and she pointed.

-You have a lot of books, you are just like my sister.

-Whats her name?

-Ce... uhm, uh, Jane.

-You said "Ce" Ce what? whats the name of your sister?

-Twilight changed her tone of voice into a more serious way, how could she know the name of her sister and not her name, also why did she said "Ce", could she be? no is impossible, she couldn´t be Princess Luna, she was just a filly. Then she started thinking, she was in Luna´s Dream after all.

-Whats your real name "Dreamer"?

-But suddenly, the ground started shaking, and the sky turned black.

-Oh no, she is here again, run!

-No, i wont run, ill face this thing and then you will tell me your real name.

-Twilight went out of the house, she prepared her spell and waited, the filly was hiding behind the door looking, Twilight was ready for whatever that was, she spotted the white eyes, and then she saw the body.

-No, is... is impossible, you don't longer exist, i saw how you dissapeared completely, is impossible!

-In the middle of the black mist, with shining white eyes, there was an old enemy of Equestria, an enemy that Twilight thought she had defeated with the elements of Harmony, there, coming to get her, was Nightmare Moon.

Nightmares

Twilight woke up scared, she looked everywhere to find who was the one that screamed, just to see her little assistant shaking while sleeping, she woke him up and he screamed again:

-Twilight, is that you?

-Of course Spike what happened? Why did you scream?

-Spike was still shaking, but he replied- I had a terrible dream, i was a grown up dragon again and i was attacking you and, and...

-Calm down Spike it was just a nightmare! Try to sleep, is midnight and tomorrow we have a lot of stuff to do.

-Yeah you are right Twilight, i better go to sleep now.

-But then the little dragon received a message, it was from princess Celestia and she was telling Twilight that many ponies in the entire Equestria has been having nightmares, but that his sister, princess Luna, princess of the night, has not opened her eyes in days. -Spike i think we cant sleep, Celestia needs us in the castle, ready your stuff we are leaving on the midnight train.-But Twilight why don't you just take us flying there?

-I don't have much experience flying and is a long way.

-Twilight knew that her flying ability was not good and it could be risky for both of them.

They left the library and walked into the train station, Ponyville at night is normally silenced, but that night, the only thing you could hear were screams and more screams, from every single house, and you could  see people outside their houses terrified, Twilight knew that this had something to do with what Celestia told her and she was scared of what she could possibly find, Celestia told her that bringing her friends with her could be dangerous and that it was better if she came only with Spike, so it was something she had to deal alone, they arrived at the train station and they entered the train, the train was almost empty, and the silence there was scary.

Only one month has passes since she became a princess, everything was so perfect for those days, to anyone the responsibilities may be horrible, but for Twilight they were a dream, she still didn't know how to fly too well, but she was learning from Rainbow Dash herself, so she was learning faster than a normal Pegasus would do and she already knew the basics, but still she was pretty dumb when flying so she almost always prefers to walk, she was remembering while Spike was trying to sleep again, but every time he closed his eyes, the fear invaded him, this was making Twilight very worried. After an hour of traveling, they made it to Canterlot, but again when they entered, the only thing you could hear were screams, she made it to the Castle were the guards told her that Celestia was at the top of the tallest tower, when she arrived she saw something she have never seen before, Celestia was not only worried, but she was crying at a side of her sleeping sister.
