Hello! I'm back and I rewrote this story because I really did not like how I did the other one and I think this one is so much better then the other! At least I hope so.

Also I do not have a beta and my grammar and punctuation isn't the best ( has well has some spelling.) so with that said I'm sorry if there is any thing that seems a little off I went over this so many times that I just don't know anymore.

Disclaimer: If I owned this Season three would have had a lot more episodes and Twilight wouldn't have gotten those wings in till season eight.

Nightmares

"You think you can stop me?"

Just a dream this is all just a dream.

"You you really think you've got what it takes?"

This is all but a dream, a horrible nightmare, that Rainbow Dash wanted to end but she can't see it ending any time soon, and soon, much too soon, she's walking backwards, in the darkness looking around like a frightened filly.

"Your loyalty, means nothing to them."

That's when she trip's, and start's to fall making her scream, but it comes out has a quiet gasp instead of what she hoped it to be. She is scrambling and slipping towards the end her hooves are having a hard time gripping what feels like metal and when she look's to what she is trying to grip her eyes widen at the sight of her cutie-mark that seems to be hovering in the sky above the clouds and it makes her wonder when everything suddenly became so visible.

"If it weren't for you I would have ruled!"

A sharp crack of lightning flashes making Rainbow Dash flinch and try to flap her wings which she seemed to have forgotten in till now. There's a problem though it feels like there glued to her back she tries to move them but it's no use. Another boom of thunder followed by a crack of lighting makes everything light up as it starts to rain.

"!"

Rainbow Dash try's to speak but she can't seem to which makes her panic the rain is making it hard for her to hold onto her cutie-mark platform and every time she struggles to get back on she slip's inch by inch.

"When I'm done with you who will help them who will help them discover the most important thing in their life?"

Rainbow Dash didn't know what the voice is talking about has she looked around wildly, a wind has started to pick but making her rainbow colored mane fly around her as she looked up towards the dark looming clouds that seemed to be moving and reforming making her concerned as to what's happening.

she just wants this nightmare to end.

"You really haven't figured it out? You foolish pony."

"W-what are you talking about?"

It's a surprise to Rainbow Dash when she can actually talk again but the surprise seems short lived when the being speaks again.

"Pathetic and you're the reason, you're the absolute that made all my dreams fall."

"What do you mean!?"

Rainbow Dash didn't understand what the voice meant she really wasn't sure that she wanted to understand.

"You think you have what it takes. You think you have defeated me the first time but you are foolish all of you are foolish pathetic creatures if you ever thought you could defeat me."

Rainbow Dash's eye's started to widen in shock.

"No, No, NO!"

Rainbow Dash shouted in shock. All of a sudden the clouds started making sense all of a sudden everything was coming together.

"Yes it is I! NIGHTMARE MOON!"

"NO!"

She woke up.

eye's wide and with fright Rainbow Dash looked around her room all in a panic her mane was sticking to her with sweat tripping down her face she couldn't seem to think straight has well as figure out what happened.

What...What was that all about? Was that real? What just happened? But it felt to much like a dream, a dream that didn't make any sense.

"What did she mean about-about she would have ruled if it weren't for me. Wasn't it Twilight the one who defeated her? Was Twilight getting these dreams?

A nudge from her side spooked her from the point of jumping a little bit more then necessary. making her whirl around to face the intruder only to find Tank looking at her in concern.

Her breathing calmed down has she looked at him with a grin she didn't need to worry him with her problems.

"It's okay Tank just go back to sleep."

The tortoise didn't seem amused and gave her an unimpressed look making her grimace. How was it possible that she couldn't lie to a tortoise?

Well hers was just special that's all she thought looking towards him with a sigh.

"Okay so I had a nightmare but it's okay really. "

Tank puffed out his cheeks still not impressed but he seemed to let it go for now has he settled down near the corner of her bed. He looked at her one last time before going into his shell to sleep.

She just sighed sadly to herself while looking down, towards her hooves. This wasn't the first time, she has been having those's nightmares maybe it was time to tell someone, it was starting to get to the point where she couldn't sleep at night.

But she didn't like depending on ponies it just wasn't in her nature to depend on someone. She liked to think of herself has a strong independent pony.

But even the strong ponies needed help sometimes.

She closed her eyes in brief thought then looked up towards the glowing moon. It didn't have the shadow of Nightmare moon on it anymore it was just an ordinary moon now it didn't look has spectacular has it did before when she was just a filly but it was still just has beautiful has before.

Laying back down she thought of one thing that came to her mind before she drifted off to sleep.

I'll tell someone. Tomorrow I'll tell someone tomorrow. She repeated the mantra in her head in till she laid back down between her pillows and closed her eyes to sleep.

This time she dreamed, a dreamless sleep.

Zecora awoke with a start something wasn't right something was different and it wasn't good.

Something was changing and there wasn't going to be anything she could do about it.

She slowly got up from her bed and yawned a little then she walked down the stairs of her hut and trotted towards her pot while looking into her potion that she was making.

She had been making this potion for weeks she just hoped it would work for this was their only hope without this there was nothing left.

"For if this potion doesn't work...I fear the worst for ponies kind."

She looked up towards the moon to see nothing but Nightmare moon's shadow.

Yeah I know it's short sorry this is the first chapter so I really didn't want to put much into it. But HOPEFULLY the next ones will be longer much longer.
