Blaze stood frozen, looking at the scene unfolding before him, he couldn’t believe it, this cheerful, clumsy mare was having such nightmare, he instantly started to recall all of the lessons his teacher gave him about dreams and nightmares.

There were many different types of nightmares, some of them were born of simple fear, others were created from worrying about some difficult task, for example when somepony was going to participate in some tournament, being nervous and feeling unsure about it would usually bring nightmares.

But this kind of nightmare was neither of those, this nightmare was made from memory, painful memory.

"Why were you even born? You always only break things!”

Foals continued to bully her, Blaze looked at Derpy, she was crying, her muzzle showing expression of pure sadness.

He couldn’t stand it anymore, he did what he was supposed to do from the beggining, his horn glowed, and after few moments all those bullying kids were gone, Ditzy, still hiding her muzzle in her hoofs didn’t realize that as she continued crying.

But saving her from just one nightmare won’t resolve the problem, Blaze knew it, nightmares made from memories will come back until those fears are faced properly.

As Blaze was thinking about resolution, Derpy finally noticed that all those foals are gone, she looked around looking for the cause of their disappearance, but she couldn’t find it, Blaze already covered himself in his illusions hiding behind unexistant wall.

‘Don’t worry Derpy, I can only assume what kind of painful memories are hunting you, but I’ll help you, for now I’ll let you have a peacful dream, and tommorrow, I’ll assist you in facing your fears once and for all.’

Blaze horn glowed and he left Derpy’s dream, to his relief she was smiling again, still looking around for her savior.

After few moments he stood in the hallway of dreams again, he stood in place for few moments thinking about his clumsy friend, and then started walking again, searching for other nightmares.

And soon he found it, without hesitation he used his magic and soon he stood there.

It was dark, Blaze could hardly see anything, it surprised him as his right eye not only looked cat-like, he could always see well in the dark thanks to it.

Blaze tried to make some light with his horn, but it quickly vanished into nothingness, he shrug it off and started walking forward hoping to find owner of this dream.

After some walking around he heard quiet sobbing, he trotted towards it and after few moments he could finally see something.

Small filly was sitting on the unexistant floor, even though everything in this place was completely dark, he could see her clearly, like she was the only source of light in this place.

She had orange coat and purple mane, she was a pegasus but had rather small wings.

Blaze walked towards her, he assumed that this fear was born because of some problem she’s having in the real life, those kind of nightmares aren’t so hard to deal with.

He stood behind her and gently tapped her shoulder with his hoof.

She flinched and turned around, even though she was looking directly at him, she couldn’t see him, small tears flowing through her eyes.

"H-Hello?” Small filly asked hoping for somepony to answer.

Blaze opened his muzzle and tried to talk but his voice didn’t leave his throat, he now knew what was the problem, his horn glowed and darkness in the room started to slowly vanish, after few moments they both stood on the small hill covered in grass, Celestia’s sun was high in the sky showering them with rays of light.

Small filly looked around and then at Blaze, he was smiling warmly.

"Hello there, what’s your name?”

"S-Scootaloo.” She said with cracking voice still sobbing a little.

"You don’t have to fear me dear Scootaloo, I came here to help you with your nightmares.”

Scootaloo flinched a little and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Nightmares? So t-this is just a dream?”

"Of course.”

"But why are you in my dreams? I thought only Princess Luna can walk into other ponies dreams.”

"Cause that’s truth, and she taught me that art, as I’am Midnight Blaze, her most faithful student, nice to meet you.”

Scootaloo’s ears perked up and smile finally formed on her muzzle.

"Scootaloo, your tell me, did anything that made you nervous recently happened?”

Scootaloo’s smile vanished and hang her head low.

"Please tell me the truth, I won’t be able to help if you won’t tell me, and this nightmare will return.”

Scootaloo started to nervously rub one of her arms with her hoof, she sighed and looked at him.

"S-Some time ago Rainbow Dash, the coolest and most awesome flyer in all of Equestria took me under her wing, it was best day of my life, I was so happy, she started giving me lessons on flying, and tommorrow, t-tommorrow.”

Scootaloo stopped for a second, she collected her courage and continued.

"Tommorrow I was supposed to finally fly for the first time in my life, Rainbow said that I’ll be fine and she’s sure I’ll be able to, but, but…”

"But you are not so sure yourself?”

She nodded.

Blaze now understood, her nightmare came as the dark isolated place as she didn’t know who to talk to about her problem, or perhaps she didn’t want to, anyway he now knew exactly what he has to do.

"Scootaloo, I know how you must feel, but listen to me, what do you think will happen if you fail?”

She looked at him with still watery eyes.

"W-What do you mean?”

"I’m asking you what do you think will happen if you won’t manage to fly tommorrow? You think that Rainbow will abandon you?”

Scootaloo didn’t know what to say so she just stayed quiet and waited for him to continue.

"She’s your teacher, your friend, and most of all she’s the element of loyalty. Are you really thinking so low of her?”

Scootaloo now looked at him with anger in her eyes.

"Of course not! She’s awesome, and she would never leave anypony in trouble.”

"When why are you so scared?”

She once again hang her head low and after few moments of silence she said.

"I-I don’t want to dissapoint her.”

Blaze walked towards her and sat down on his haunches beside her.

"You know, I had such problem too.”

She quickly lifted her head and looked at him.

"You did?”

Blaze chuckled a little.

"Yea, it was one year after Princess Luna took me in as her student, and it was time for my first test, I knew I’ll pass most of it without problems, however there were some spells I had problem with, night before the test I was extremely nervous, and those nightmares came to me.”

She looked at him with curiosity, he smiled warmly and continued.

"So on the day of the test, I was so nervous about those few spells that I actually failed other spells that I knew perfectly well.”

Blaze sighed and continued.

"But you know what? Instead of scolding me after the test ended, she smiled at me warmly, and acted like nothing happened, I asked her few days later if she’s dissapointed, you know what she told me?”

Scootaloo shook her head.

"She told me that from time to time we win, but there also times that we lose, you can either let the sadness of losing overtake you, or use it as fertilizer for future victories.”

Blaze looked at Scootaloo and tapped her gently on the top of her head.

"And so I did, I looked back at what I did wrong, and made sure to never do those mistakes again.”

He stood back on all four and looked at Scootaloo.

"Victories are filling our hearts with joy, however our failures are making us stronger if you use them to become better, instead of giving up.”

Scootaloo finally smiled again, her expression filled with confidence, she jumped towards him and threw her arms around his neck startling him a little a first.

"Thank you mister Blaze, thank you so much.”

Blaze smiled, his horn glowed and with joy in his heart he left her dream.

He stood again in the realm of dreams, he grew tired already, although he was able to do the same thing as his teacher, he wasn’t able to cleanse as many nightmares as she would, he could probably help few other ponies, but he decided to leave it for the night, as he found his own dream and jumped into it, he stood in the canterlot castle main hall for few seconds before waking up in his bed on the farm.

As he woke from his nap, he looked through a window, it was slowly getting dark, but he knew he wasn’t going to go to sleep, no he took that nap to be able to do something else.

He stood up and put his saddlebags back on, he walked out of his room and then out of the house, outside he met smiling Granny Smith.

"Howdy there, did you enjoy your nap?”

He nodded and slowly trotted in the direction of Ponyville.

"Where are ya going? It’s going to get dark soon.”

He turned around and smiled at her.

"There’s a place I want to explore tonight, it’s called BlueBerry club.”
