Nightmares

The Second Nightmare Part 1

Written and Edited by: TheTraxicEnd

As you float in the void you're currently stuck in, you begin to reflect on your dream. The dream left you with several questions with very little or limited answers. When referring to your identity, all you know is your first name. This causes your brain to start listing off several questions you couldn't answer at the moment. These questions are reactions to the situation at hand. Examples of these questions are:

Who am I?

What have I done?

What are my accomplishments?

Why can't I remember!!?

You can't answer these questions! The only reason you can't is because of your brain. It's scrambled memory isn't helping the situation.

As you continued to try and remember your past, you spot a bright radiant light in the distance. You couldn't help but grin at this, considering you've been bored out of your mind since you've arrived at the void. As you began to float towards the light, you begin to hear feint sounds of a voice. This piqued your interest entirely. You know the voice sounded familiar, but you couldn't put your finger on it due to the voice being muffled. You decided the only way it was going to be clear was to move closer to the light.

When you got as close to the light as possible without becoming blind, you were able to hear the voice completely. You could now identify the sweet melodic sound emitting from the radiant flash. The voice belonged to your mare's. You decide there was only one thing you could possibly do to make this situation perfect.

You look up to what would be the sky and announce proudly,

"I CAN SEE THE LIGHT!"

You couldn't help but snicker at your joke. Unfortunately for you, no one else was around to hear it, so you looked like a loner for a few seconds.

...

Anyway, You enter the light's midst, embracing its radiance...

When the light started to fade, you were able to see your new surroundings. You were currently on a gurney, being rolled into another corridor of what appeared to be a hospital. You suddenly panicked when you realized you were in the hospital. You tried to move your arms and legs, but you couldn't feel them. They were incredibly numb, as if they were non-existent.  Knowing you couldn't get out of this situation, you just let the world go on around you.

You look to your right and see a nurse shouting,

"MOVE YOUR ASSES OUT OF THE WAY!"

Fortunately for the nurse, there wasn't any asses in the hallway.

You avert your gaze to your left and see another nurse holding the gurney tightly. She was looking down at you, smiling brightly. The sight of the nurse smiling at you warmed your heart. Judging by that smile, you knew you were in good hooves and without missing a second, you bring yourself back into the darkness, embracing it with tenderness...

Hello my fellow recipient...I am here to deliver a message for you.

The writer of said letter wants to remain anonymous, so I will read it to you without mentioning said writer's name.

*AHEM* Well...Shall I begin?

...

"I have words for you...

My servant, I want you to understand...

I have no attention of killing you.

That would be too easy...Rather,

I'm here to receive what I am owed.

Until you relinquish the payment you so dearly owe me;

I will come back and drive you to the brink of insanity.

So please, take this message into consideration;

for I am not one who lies about my atrocities.

I am here only to spread them,

so all who exist may fear me,

and those who don't

will perish in their own blood."

I hope you take my master's words into consideration. He means what he does...

Now, I will let you wake. Rise! You have ten hours before the next message awaits you.

While you have your eyes closed, you begin to hear faint beeps bounce inside your ears. Groaning due to your horrible case of grogginess, you slowly begin to open your eyes. As they receive the light, you begin to see your environment. To your right is a small desk and a lamp. To your left is a IV with a oxygen tank nearby. You look up from the IV and see a clock. You look closely at the device, reading it with intent. The time-displaying device reads nine o'clock. These are all the typical necessities a hospital would need to help cure or treat patients. There's only one thing that makes this different from atypical hospital.

In front of you was your mare. She was currently sleeping at the end of the bed, curled up in a ball. You try to formulate a smile, but your nerves stop you by sending a sharp shot of pain into your brain. This causes you to fall back on the bed and embrace the soft imprisonment of the pillows.

Damn head pains...

Once the pain subsides, you try to lift yourself off the pillow without disrupting the sleeping mare. Utilizing the flexibility of the human arm, you hoist yourself up so you could see the heavy  sleeper at the end of the bed. Seeing your mare once again made your heart flutter. Fortunately for you, she is asleep. Why is this such a fortunate case?

Initiating Operation: Pleasure the Mare

Preparing yourself for your mission, you shift slightly in the bed for easy access to the mare. Once you were in a comfortable position to begin your surgery of the patient, You begin your operation.

You reintroduce your hands to the mane of your loved one. As you start to pet her mane, you decide to get a bit more intimate, diving your head into her mane. You take in her enticing scent. It always reminded you of the scent of a clear spring day. While taking in her scent and caressing her hair, you hear a soft moan emit from the mare.

She must think she's dreaming...

You decide to move onto step two of your operation. You slowly move your left hand away from the magically flowing mane of Celestia. Using your fingertips, you glide them over her cheek, caressing them with care. While you do this, you move your  right hand towards her majestic wings. Mimicking the same movements with the right hand, you glide your fingertips over the exterior edges of the wings. This makes your mare sigh and moan loudly. As you begin to knead her left wing, you feel her wings start to rise to attention. You also see your mare begin to shift under your touch. This made you grin from ear to ear, knowing your mission is almost complete.

You commence the final stage of your three step plan. You move your right hand away from the feathery appendages. As you move them, you glide over her furry backside, causing her to shiver slightly from your touch. You move your hand towards her rump, directly above her cutie mark. You grin mischievously due to the thought of your next move. You slowly pull your hand away from your intended target, before returning to it with a strong force. Your hand makes contact with her cutie mark, causing a loud slapping sound as a result.

The reaction you receive from your mare was astounding.

She moans loudly, causing her to wake herself up. She turns to your direction, smiling happily. She shifts her body towards yours, rubbing up against your right side. She snuggles up against your arm and kisses you on your right cheek. You comply with the sudden shifting and move your right arm around her. She sighs and says,

"I'm glad you're back honey..."

You sigh in content and announce,

"I'm glad too."

You both lay there in silence, reveling in the embrace you've waited so long to return to. After a few minutes pass, you decide to ask her the grueling question.

"What happened?"

She looks away from you for a moment, before returning her gaze to you. She states,

"A lot of things happened..."

"Like what?"

She looks up at the ceiling for a moment and says,

"You...sleep walked."

WHAT?!

You look at  your mare, puzzled like an unsolved jigsaw puzzle. You've never sleep walked before. Hearing the oddity emit from her screamed about thirty different measures you didn't want to bring into the light. You decide to ask her,

"What do you mean by 'sleep-walking'?"

She glares at you and says,

"Exactly what it means. You sleep walked and passed out."

You respond,

"Care to elaborate?"

She facehoofs and groans slightly. She then shifts out of your embrace and  onto the floor. She lands on her hooves and turns her body towards you. She then sits her rump on the ground and says,

"Listen carefully. I don't want to go over this again."

You nod and cut the comedian act in its tracks.

She sighs and begins the tale,

"It all started when I woke up for my morning duties. I decided to take a light bath to release the built up tension in my body. You were in bed when I was in the bath, but when I returned from it; you were gone.

I thought that you just went out of the room to get a glass of water or something, but I realized at the moment...the servants didn't wake up until nine o'clock. You left the room around seven-thirty. I tried to keep calm in this situation but I felt the need to find you; I didn't want a repeat of when you first arrived here."

A laugh escapes your mouth, causing her to smile at you. You grin and motion for her to continue with her story. She nods and continues,

"I went to the first place I thought you were at. I walked down the hallway and into the kitchen to see if you were still trying to get a glass of water. You know what I walked into?"

You shake your head, puzzled by her question. She declares,

"I walked into a state of emergency."

You smile and ask,

"What did I do?"

She grins and says,

"You tripped over a sack of flour and broke about half of the royal china."

You couldn't help but laugh at the damage report. How did I manage to do that?

Once your laughter subsided you say,

"So what happened after that?"

She continues,

"Thanks to your trail of fluffy powder, I found where you struck next.

Apparently, you knew how to cover a whole table with flour. I looked into the royal dining hall and saw flour piled up on every seat, corner, and crevice. You really did a number in that room."

You smile sheepishly, rubbing a hand behind your neck. You respond,

"Well I did a lot of weird things when I was drunk, but this is sleep walking; so I have nothing to compare this to."

She giggles at this and continues,

"After seeing the trail end at the south entrance of the dining room, I continued my course. I fortunately ran into the Hall of Arts."

You interrupt her by saying,

"Wait...That's the pointless hallway of random paintings right?"

Her face contorts and her muzzle scrunches up at your statement. You sigh saying,

"It was a joke dear..."

She beams a smile at you and reproaches you,

"It's a very pointless hallway of random paintings of you and I in provocative positions..."

You feel like your face just turned into thirty different colors.

Celestia laughs at your reaction, gripping her stomach with her hooves as she laughs loudly. You stare down at her, not approving of her reason for laughing.

After a minute passes, she finally stops laughing and continues her story,

"You decided to go through the Hall of Arts, smashing anything that dealt with Discord..."

You interrupt her once again,

"Yeah... He wasn't a nice guy to most of your ponies anyway..."

She persists,

"Anyway, I found you sleep walking down the stairs that branched off from the Hall of Arts. What was weird about you though...whenever I tried to shove you or wake you up, you didn't respond at all. You seemed to be in some sort of realm I didn't know about."

Oh shit...

You shift in your bed slightly, uncomfortable with what she said. She looked at you with curiosity and asks,

"Is there something you want to tell me honey?"

You nod slightly but say,

"I want you to finish the story though. This may somehow be linked to it."

She averts her gaze to a nearby window and says,

"You went straight past the Archives and slowly walked into a long corridor. I didn't understand why you walking down that specific hallway, but I soon found out..."

She stops momentarily to take a breather, allowing you to ponder at what happened.

Did I kill someone?

Did I teleport Dracula into the hallway to suck somebody's blood?

Did magical rainbows fly out of my ass or something?

What did I do??!

You continue to let these questions plague your mind. The hallway bit of the story seemed almost exact to the end of the dream, but you didn't want to assume so.

You avert your gaze to your mare, who was currently looking out the window; tears sliding down her cheek. You decide seeing her upset like this over a story was too much. You say,

"Tia, please come here."

She looks at you and nods slowly, tears still sliding down her cheeks. She slowly trots back to the bed and climbs into it. You move to your left, allowing her to have the right half of the bed. She smiles and snuggles up against you, using your shoulder as a pillow. You respond by kissing her on the cheek and wiping her tears off with your hospital attire. You nuzzle her cheek slightly and ask,

"Feeling better?"

She nods and nuzzles you back. She then sighs and says,

"You...opened the door to the Centuries Office and approached the desk.The Century Commander asked why you stormed into his office, but you didn't acknowledge his orders."

You grin and state,

"I'm such a heavy sleeper..."

She giggles at your proclamation. She continues,

"You punched a hole straight in the desk for some reason. The Commander was first astounded at your strength, but he didn't take the gesture lightly and tried to restrain you.

I told him not to hurt you, because you're sleep walking and you don't know what you're doing."

She pauses and gazes into your eyes. You look back at hers and admire the glow they simply give off. Her eyes are like an aura full of joy and sunshine.  Every time you stare into them, you feel warm and simply lose yourself in her eyes.

She nuzzles you again before continuing her story. She states,

"You suddenly stopped moving and collapsed onto the ground. The Commander didn't know what happened and simply panicked. He turned towards me and started to apologize. For that moment though, I told him I didn't care about pointless apologies. I cared about your well-being more."

You smile and kiss her on the lips. Her eyes widen in surprise before fluttering closed. You feel her brush her tongue against your lips, causing you to open up for her entry. She meets your tongue in the battle for complete dominance. As you continue your kissing, you move your right hand towards her cheek, caressing it with care and compassion. When she feels your hand come in contact with  her fur, she moans loudly into the kiss. You continued the session for two more minutes before breaking the kiss.

You both nuzzle up to each other again. You say,

"I love you Celestia."

She smiles and says,

"I love you too honey."

You both continue your cuddling for a bit longer, neither party saying anything to each other. You both were too busy reveling in each other's embrace.

You continued the embrace for a moment or two, before halting it with a question,

"Celestia, I still feel something is missing from the story...Did anything else happen?"

She responds instantaneously,

"Besides being in a coma due to blood-loss then no, nothing else happened."

Now this answer made you shiver slightly.

You gulp a bit of saliva down. Trying to find your voice once again, you stutter,

"Ce-Celestia?"

"What honey?"

"H-How long have I b-been out?"

She gasps slightly, realizing what she told him. Realizing she has no way of dodging this, she sighs and declares,

"Two weeks."

SERIOUSLY??!

"Celestia, I-"

"TWO WEEKS HONEY! I'VE BEEN AT YOUR BEDSIDE FOR TWO WEEKS!"

You sigh and say,

"Celestia, Can you let me say this?"

She sighs and says,

"Okay...but don't think you're free to move... I have a leash in the other room."

Uh...Well.

"I'll keep that in mind..."

She giggles slightly at your reaction. You sigh and say,

"Remember when you asked me if something was wrong with me?"

She nods curtly.

"Well...there's something terribly wrong with me."

She gasps and asks,

"What's wrong dear?"

You smile and say,

"Remember when I told you I didn't have a name?"

She grins and says,

"Yes and that's why I call you honey and dear."

You put a hand to your heart and say,

"That really pulls on my heartstrings. I think they're going to break!"

She gasps and kisses you on the cheek. She holds the kiss for ten seconds before returning to her original position. She states,

"I'm sorry honey. May you forgive me?"

You smile and nuzzle her cheek with yours. You respond,

"Always."

You pause for a few moments before continuing,

"Anyway, When I was sleep walking, I was actually reliving a dream."

You pause to see if Celestia would react to the statement. Surprisingly, she motions her hoof towards you, indicating for you to continue.

You comply with her demands and carry on,

"It was in this dream, is where I found out about part of my past. I found out what my old house looked like, where things used to be, and I even found out my true first name."

She gasps and asks,

"What is your name then?"

You smile and reply,

"Graziano."

She looks at you, confused look covering her. She asks,

"That's a name?"

You puff out some air in disapproval. You say,

"Yes, it my language, it means beloved."

She gasps and says,

"I'm sorry Graziano...I-"

You interrupt her apology by saying,

"You've been sorry for too long. I want to take up the torch this time."

"Okay Mr. Graziano."

Now my name is used as a paperweight for the doors to a broken down gas station.

"Now Tia, The dream didn't end there."

"What?"

You shrug and state,

"It's just begun."

"What do you mean Grazy?"

You smile at the new nickname you received. You look into her eyes and ask,

"What time is it?"

She looks over at the clock in the left corner of your room. After reading the clock, she turns to you and states,

"It's twelve twenty."

"In about seven hours, I will be returning to my dreams. It'll help me figure out about who I am...and possibly how I arrived here."

Celestia glares at you, concern enveloping her eyes. And at that moment, the dams broke.

You see your mare put both of her fore hooves around your neck and nuzzling her head into your chest. She's currently crying her eyes out, using your shirt as a sponge. You sigh and nuzzle her cheek against yours. You say,

"It's okay Tia...I'll be fine."

This was the wrong thing to say.

Tia removes her head from your chest, looking at you with fierce anger. She yells,

"FINE!? NO IT WON'T BE FINE! I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU AGAIN!!!"

That Canterlot voice will make me go deaf soon...

You sigh and hug her, pressing your body against hers. She smiles slightly, still trying to hold an angry countenance. You know she couldn't handle this sort of thing well, so you decide to seal the deal. You carefully bring your lips to hers, giving her all the love you possess. At first, her eyes widen due to the unexpected move you pulled on her. Eventually, her eyes flutter closed. You hold the kiss for a little longer, before pulling away and nuzzling her cheek with your own.  Celestia hums softly and returns the embrace.

This is where you bring the punch.

You say,

"Celestia, I promise I will be fine. These dreams won't faze me and they certainly won't faze you. You're a strong mare, a ruler of an majestic kingdom. You have the experiences to possibly compare this to. This dream stuff is very foreign to me, but I need to know about my past and fortunately for me; my dreams harbors it."

She nods slowly, much to your delight, and returns her head to your chest. You smile and lay down, letting the world go around without you or Celestia's watch.

After a hour of lying together, intertwined in each other's limbs; you turn your head towards Celestia. You nuzzle her gently, attempting to wake her from her nap. She stirs slightly before waking up from your gesture. She turns to you and smiles nuzzling you back. You eventually turn away and ask,

"Celly...Where's the doctor?"

She responds,

"He's-"

"Right here!"

You both avert your attention to the stallion who awaits at your room's doorstep. He's a unicorn wearing a white lab coat that you've never seen before. He's also wearing a black bowtie. He's got a brown mane, blue eyes, a light brown tail, and a thought bubble as a cutie mark. He approaches your bed, checking the clipboard at the end of the bed. He smiles and looks up at you.

Take it as a good sign...

"My Prince, Glad to see you here."

You chuckle slightly and say,

"Still have to get used to that title, but thank you kindly."

Celestia gaze's over at you with lidded eyes. She smirks and declares,

"He gets the title every time were in..."

"Celly...don't say it."

She tries to repress a laugh but utterly fails. Instead, she starts to laugh too hard. She rolls off the bed, almost knocking into the IV. The  doctor glares at the regal mare.

Let's just say...He's not tickled pink by this.

The doctor shouts,

"DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY? PLEASE, LEAVE THIS FACILITY AT ONCE IF YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY! I DO NOT TAKE IMMATURITY AT THIS PRESTIGIOUS HOSPITAL!"

This statement brings something new into the light.

You begin to ponder about the real status of Celestia.

Does she have full power over everything or only ninety-five point nine percent of the time?

Let's take the latter option.

You say,

"Doctor?"

The stallion averts his gaze towards you and replies,

"Yes?"

You stare into his eyes and say,

"Is it possible to not kick her out? Maybe she can stay in the waiting room?"

The doctor continues his glare at you, his eyes evicting restrained anger and frustration.

Note to self: never make Canterlot doctors angry.

The doctor nods slightly and turns back towards your mare. She's currently in a shocked daze, unable to comprehend the situation. The doctor waves his hooves in front of her eyes, causing her to return to reality. She smiles sheepishly and says,

"I'm sorry doctor. I shouldn't act so commonly. I am a Princess of this fin-"

"Ma'am. Please go to the waiting room."

The mare sighs and nods. Leaving the room with a sad countenance. Seeing her face like this stabs your heartstrings; but you know she brought it upon herself. Besides, you need to ask the doctor a few questions without her interrupting you with her trademarked 'provocative details'.

The doctor turns over to you and says,

"Well Prince, I think you should be fine for now. Your charts indicate normal heart rates and your brain seems to be fine. I have to still ask this though..."

The doctor pauses to collect his thoughts. Once he does, he asks,

"You have any questions for me?"

Prepare to be in for a questionnaire my medical aid...

Grinning from ear to ear, you say,

"Yes. I have a few questions needed to be answered."

The doctor comes to your bedside and sits down near the end of it. He smiles and says,

"What do you want to know my Prince?"

You say,

"Well first, call me by my real name. Its Graziano."

His smile changed into a appearance of shock. He asks,

"Didn't you say you didn't know what your name was when you first came here?"

How does he know that?

"How did you know that?"

The doctor responds,

"Remember that interview you did for the Cloudy Informer?"

Oh that's why...

Two days after your arrival in Equestria, you were swarmed by a bunch of news reporters. They would asks what your opinions on Equestria are, where you came from, and all sorts of things. But when they asked what your name was, you said you didn't know. Everything relating to your past was a blur.

Now, your past is starting to return and you don't know how.

You respond,

"Now I remember. I think that was when I was in Ponyville correct?"

The doctor smirks and replies,

"Yes. You were  talking to my daughter."

Awkward...

You try to smile, but your brain decides to reject the order. If anyone looked at your face at that moment, people would say you might've taken a leak in your pants. Fortunately for you, you didn't leak in your pants. You were just tied up by the whole situation.

You respond,

"Coincidence?"

"Maybe so Graziano... Anyway, what did you have to ask?"

You question,

"Did Celestia tell you about how I ended up here?"

The doctor puts his hoof to his muzzle and starts rubbing it. He looks over to his side, looking out the window. From this angle, you realize the stallion has a bit of a goatee going.

HOW DO THEY HAVE FACIAL HAIR?

The doctor averts his gaze back to you and says,

"Yes. It regarded you sleepwalking right?"

You nod and reply,

"That it did. I was sleep walking through the Castle and suddenly collapsed in the Century Office. I think this ties to my dreams. I was wondering if you knew anything about the subject."

The doctor looks at you and sighs. He states,

"Yes I do. Unlike most doctors, I graduated with a side degree in dream psychological treatment. It's a prestigious and difficult degree to obtain due to the fact that there is only one teacher in Equestria who actually teaches it."

You smirk and say,

"Let me guess. It's Princess Luna."

The doctors countenance shifts to one of utter shock. His mouth was agape, unable to understand how you knew it was Luna.

After realizing his mouth was wide open for longer than a minute, he closes his trap and asks,

"How did you-"

You interrupt him remarking,

"She and I are personal board game buddies. She uses some of her 'dream' techniques on me."

You begin to remember the typical moves the Princess of the Night would pull. She would always put you in outrageous situations. Whether it was running from a giant manticore, riding a ursa minor, or traveling bear back; you would always be entertained when you spend time with her. Except this one time...

It was that time of day again.

Adventure Time.

Now, in this case, adventure time wasn't some perilous, ultra-crazy, ridiculous, high-flying, acrobatic, heart-racing, thrilling quest. No, today you were more or less helping Luna with her little investigation.

Which you regret majorly.

You were currently strapped to a operating table. To the right of you was a small vase with the words: "Don't buck with the Night' written on it. This small unique vase was floating aimlessly in the corner. You couldn't fathom why Luna needed a vase like that, but you didn't need to solve the issue. After all, Luna does have a very transcending personality...

Despite the vase,  you avert your glance to the left of the room. In this corner, you had nothing but a floating axe to talk to. Apparently this inanimate object was supposed to be her 'assistant'.

Yes a floating axe as a assistant, who knew?!

Yet, you were somehow able to communicate with this thing.

Not that anything in Luna's domain was 'unable to speak'.

You say,

"Axe?"

...

"Axe..?"

The object responds,

"What do you want?"

...

"I wanted to ask you where Lu-"

You were suddenly interrupted by a sound of an explosion. You turn your head towards the direction of the sound, only to realize it was Luna's fault.

Note to self: never give an Alicorn anything explosive.

Note taken.

The elegant 'nightmare' trots towards you, giddy as can be. She smiles brightly at you, holding a small syringe in her hoof.

Wait SYRINGE?

She states,

"Now this won't hurt a bit..."

Whenever someone says that phrase, you always panic. Not because it's probably going to hurt, it's because...

It will hurt.

You await for the impact of the syringe to come.

...

...

Any second now...

...

...

...

Oh for heaven's sa-

The syringe falls short of your arm, instead impacting the side of the bed with a loud CLING.

You ask,

"Luna how did you miss my arm?"

You look up at her and see the issue.

She was currently looking teary-eyed. She states,

"Because, I-I was actually aiming fo-or your..."

She blushes slightly and looks away. You try to comprehend what she was trying to hint at. You look down to where she was intending to hit.

You gasp slightly at what you see.

You look at your member, who is currently the size of a cucumber. Unfortunately for that cucumber...

It's twisted in about twenty different directions.

...

Initiate scream.

You scream on the top of your lungs, whisking you out of your dream...

"That sounds very interesting there..."

I SAID THAT OUT LOUD?

"Um...Did  I say all of that out loud?"

The doctor nods, making you flushed. The doctor looks away for a moment, looking at your chart once again. He pulls out a penuill, which is a new writing utensil you devised, and scribbles a few words onto the chart. Once he finished his writing, he averts his attention to you and asks,

"Does Luna really have that bad of aim?"

You smile sheepishly and state,

"Yes...apparently she does."

This causes the doctor to chuckle lightly and say,

"Alright. Well, Its currently five thirty-five so I was wondering if you needed anything else."

WHAT.

You swiftly turn your head towards the clock, focusing intently on the time it states.

It was five thirty-five.

SHIT.

You turn towards the doctor and ask,

"Well before it hits seven o'clock, I need you to return back in with some nurses..."

The doctor eyes you carefully before asking,

"Why is that?"

You sigh and respond accordingly,

"My dream told me it would return to me at seven o' clock."

The doctor nods slightly and leaves the room. When he leaves the room, you hear a loud shout equivalent to a mega phone being shattered. The shout questions,

"CAN I GO BACK IN THERE WITH MY GRAZY?"

Since when did I become a possession?

You couldn't possibly answer the question due to the fact that the owner of the voice is now in your room.

Damn she's quick.

Celestia smiles brightly at you and asks,

"So how did the talk with the doctor go?"

You sigh and say,

"It went well honey."

She asks,

"Can I-"

You interrupt her,

"Don't even have to ask baby."

She grins and climbs into the bed with you, being careful of your IV. She rests her head on your shoulder and snuggles in with you. You sigh in content and rest your arm around her neck once again. As you lay there with your mare, you talk about random things. The conversation would bounce back and forth between Luna's horrible aim to Equestria's malfunctioning train systems.

After chatting for the remainder of your time, you take a gander at the clock.

It reads six fifty.

You turn your gaze towards Celestia and state,

"Celly it's almost time for me to go to dreamscape again."

She looks at you, her former smile turning into a slight frown. She says,

"Promise me you'll be back in one piece...please?"

You bring her close and kiss her on the lips, bring her into a embrace unlike no other. She hums and moans slightly into the kiss, making you a bit turned on. Unfortunately for you both, you let the kiss fade, giving room for you to shift you arm back to your side. You say,

"I promise."

She asks,

"Why can't I just lay here with you?"

You smirk and respond,

"Unless you want to be the one to be operated on..."

That got her going.

She looks away from you, a blush forming at her cheeks. You grin from ear to ear, reveling in your success. She looks back at you for a second and states,

"No...I'll just sit here in this chair..."

You grin and nod briefly.

As you do this, your doctor returns with two nurses beside him. The two look like twins, except one has a white coat and the other has a blue coat. They approach your bedside, checking your IV and other medial tasks. The doctor stands at the foot of the bed, checking your charts one last time.  You gulp and take a final look at the clock. It reads: seven o'clock.

Suddenly you hear a voice in the back of your head. It states,

Time to leave...my servant.

You groan loudly, feeling a sudden burst of pain gulf your brain.

All the personnel in the room turn their attention to you and try to ask you what's wrong.

You say the first phrase that comes to mind in your head:

My name is Graziano.

My name is Graz-

My name is -
