After a good walk, we arrive at the train station only to be greeted by Twilight. She takes one look at me and hesitantly speaks. "Please tell me I'm not seeing a Thestral version of Pinkie..." oh god. This is the perfect setup.

Channeling my inner 5 year old, I announce myself. "Yupperoonie! names Night Sight!" I can literally see Twilight having a breakdown.

"Oh sweet celestia there's two of them, Equestria is bucked, in's the apocalypse, WE'RE ALL GONN-" Ribbon cuts her off by jamming her hoof in her mouth.

"Twilight calm down! She's not like Pinkie, trust me I know. She's not innocent enough to be Pinkie." Must continue the joke.

"What is this 'innocence' you speak of?" Oh the look on twilights face...

"See?" Now to finish it.

"Because I'm the goddamn Batmare!" And presto! Twilight has suffered a logic error and must now reboot! Upon completing said reboot, Twilight curled into a ball muttering repeated "nope!"s.

I turn to Ribbon. "I think I broke her..."

"Get on the train, I'll deal with her, and act normal from now on please." Awww...

"Fine..." but only because you asked.

Upon boarding, I was greeted by Pinkie Pie. "Wowzers, even I've never been that random before!"

"That my dear Pinkie, was the internet in a shellnut. And that isn't even the craziest thing I've done! Did I ever tell you about the time I sacked Discord so hard I broke the sound barrier?" I swear I just felt every stallion within 20 miles cringe in pain... and a few mares...

Pinkie then pulls a cupcake out of her mane. It was rainbow colored and dripping red. I grabbed it and took a bite out of it... DAMN THAT IS SPICEY! It felt like a nuke just went off in my mouth... Me gusta. "You like it? I call it the Cupcano!" I promptly scarf down the rest of it, before smiling stupidly. I was greeted to gasp of shock from the other four ponies in the car.

"Oh... My..."

"Tarnations, and I thought Rainbow lacked common sense..." A.J looked at Rarity with a look of 'please god no.'

"Buddy, you must have a cast-iron stomach to do that and not flinch..."

"How unladylike!" And dramatic marshmallow...

"Best. Cupcake. EVER!" Pinkie smiles at that.

"You're going to regret that VERY soon. give it 10 ta 15 seconds..." oh, Ribbons here.

*gurgle!* oh boy, here comes a big one... "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAP" Wat. I belched RAINBOW FIRE. And it felt good. Fuck logic. I turn to Pinkie. "You wouldn't happen to have another one, would you?" I see everyone's jaws drop. Hell, Rainbow drops out of the air because she had forgotten to keep flapping!

"Pinkie, don't give her any more." Ribbon turns whisper to me."Trust me."

Pinkie shrugs. "It was the only one I brought..."

"Pinkie, you never just bring one. You bring twelve." Really, where!

Pinkie looks around nervously. "I may have left the other eleven with Celestia's cakes."

I smiled at that. "I approve."

"I'm sure you do." Snarcastic Ribbon is best Ribbon!

Twilight facehooves and groans loudly. "Why Faust. Whyyyyyyy?"

"Twilight let it go." Ribbon tries to comfort Twilight. It didn't help.

She throws her forehooves in the air, before loudly announcing "BUCK THIS!" Grabbing a bottle of cider from somewhere, chugging it down, and then going and curling up in a corner, before falling asleep.

"Fluttershy stop hiding, and help Twilight." Wait, when was Fluttershy here? Oh she was hiding under A.J.

"Am I really that ugly?"

Rarity is still sitting there, with her jaw on the floor. She shakes her head. "Ugly? Heavens forbid no, but I will admit you look quite... wild." At this point Twilights snoring echoes throughout the car.

I turn to Pinkie. "You wouldn't happen to have a can of whipped cream and a feather on you, would you?" Rainbow snickers. I guess she knows this prank...

Pinkie pulls said objects from her mane, before giving them to me. "Do it..."

Applying whipped cream to Twilights hoof, I tickle her nose with the feather...

*Splat!* Twilight is now glaring at me, whipped cream all over her face. So I do the most random thing I can think of. I lick it...

Cue Twilight and Rarity 'ewww'ing, Fluttershy going 'meep!' And Ribbon telling me I have no shame, while everyone else laughs.

"Tastes like the worlds worst romance novel..."

"Everypony this is Night Sight, she'll be moving in with me." Wow, took long enough Ribbon...

Rainbow flies over to me. "Me, you, and Pinkie really need to get together sometime, so we can prank ponyville like never before..."

Pinkie gives me a knowing look. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I think I am...

"That depends, where would we get enough glow in the dark paint to coat the entire town, and a container big enough to launch it from?"

Cue an "oh Faust why?" From Twilight. And a "Let the battle field be made." From Ribbon.

I turn to her "just for that, your place is ground zero."

Ribbon sighs. "Wonderfull..."

"Be thankful I'm not useing drunk science. I once turned my car into a radioactive wreak with that, beer, and duct tape. And no, I just don't know what went wrong either."

*Wham* the fuq, a blond wall-eyed peguses just flew into the side of the train car. "That's my line!"

Ribbon groans and sinks into her seat. I look at the mare plastered on the window. "Do you know her?"

"That's my friend Ditzy. Everypony calls her Derpy." Oh, damn, she does look like that derp face meme. Poor girl.

"Should I let her in?" Ribbon shakes her head.

"Probably not," she look at the mare currently doing an impression of a fly meeting a windshield. "Go home Derpy! I'll talk to you later!"

"I'm gonna take a guess that Ponyville is a magnet for all kinds of weird shit?" Please say yes...

"Very, and you'll love it all the same." Yay! "Not a week goes by without something happening, and you get to be the new pony." Double yay!

"Sounds like like my collage, not a day goes by without someone doing stupid shit while drunk..." I still remember how Jeff made impact fused potatoes, the shot them out of Larrys potato cannon.

"Lets hope you're still not like that..." Good thing I got decent self control.

"I only got drunk the one time. After that I never went past tipsy out fear of a repeat." Its true. "Are we there yet." Boredom, boredom everywhere.

"Look out the window." Oh, well damn, we're just pulling into the station.

"Oh good, we're here." Taking my first steps into Ponyville I was surprised by how qui-

"CUTIE MARK CRUSADER TOUR GUI- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Oh great, children... to be precise what look like a miniature Rarity, a yellow pony with a bow on her head, and orange one with a purple mane.

"Owch... my ears. Which one of you just wailed like a banshee?"

"Coooool..." "IT WAS SWEETIE BELLE!"Was the orange and yellow ones responses.

"Impressive..." No seriously, who knew a pony could make such loud noises? I have no idea how to handle this... I give Ribbon a pleading look.

"Good luck with the foals I'm going home with my new toy's." Well shit. Only one thing to do...

"HEY LOOK, A DISTRACTION!" When they look away, I bolt after Ribbon before latching onto her.

"WHOA! you are very attached, aren't you?" She exclaims in surprise.

"Yeah well there's a banshee marshmallow after my soul!" Go home brain, you're drunk.

She looks at me like I just described the inside of a black hole in perfect detail. "Marshmallows are trying to eat you?"

"Did you hear how loud that thing screamed!" Seriously, that thing puts even Beiber to shame.

"Which thing there was three of them... Right the marshmallow one, stupid question. You'll be safe at the house at least." Good point, getting off of her I looked around.

"So where is your place anyway?" Do not want to get lost and ambushed by the marshmellow...

"Near the Library. Guess what I do for a living." Umm bagels?

"Blacksmithing obviously." Why else would she have been summoned to Canterlot in the first place?

"Correct, now guess how big my house is." Ummmm...

"House sized?" I grin like an idiot.

"Clever... we're here. I'll go shopping for food later while you hide from the 'marshmallow'." Oh woooow that's a big house.

Walking inside, I immediately go looking for food. That was, until I realized I still didn't know how to fly. Of course I had a crazy idea...

Feeling inside of myself, I looked for repressed Instincts, I found some that weren't mine or the remnants of the Nightmare. Bringing them out, I eventually realized I wasn't on the ground anymore, and could hear a steady flapping sound immediately behind me. Opening my eyes, I was greeted to the sight of the ground a few feet further than it was before. Tilting my wings forward, SLIGHTLY, I wasn't that stupid, I slowly moved forward. Now come turning... tilting to left, I began my turn. "Oh my god, I'm actually doing this. I'm actually doing this, I'm actul- OHSHI-"

*bump* Thank god I was going slow enough to not damage anything. Now how the hell do I land? Floating over to the couch, I slowl-CRAP! *whump* and there was the reason I tried landing over the couch. I sit there, a dopey grin on my face, before I realize Ribbon was standing at the doorway.

"No flying inside. You lucky I don't own anything breakable... Faust knows I learned that lesson from Derpy and Rainbow."

I start bouncing like a five year old on a sugar and caffeine high. "But I flew Ribby, I FLEW! It was the greatest feeling, know you can just go 'screw gravity!' And take to the air!"

She grins at me. "Well you do have wings 'Nighty'." I couldn't help it, I was so excited I reverted to my normal alicorn form, before grabbing Ribbon and pulling her into a big, sloppy kiss, the shock causing her to revert to her changeling form.

"Ewwwww-oh, buck..." my head whips around so fast I swear I felt my brain spin. There in the doorway, was the orange pegasus from earlier today.

"Well... Shit..."

The filly dashed right under my legs and dove behind the couch. "DONT EAT ME!"

"Wow, deja vu much?" I whisper to Ribbon.

"She's not scared, if she was she wouldn't run into the house." Ribbon closes the door to make sure none else see us.

"Or she has experienced this before... running towards an obvious threat will usually surprise them, giving you time to make a break in the other direction."

"Huh, I never thought of that. Then again she was in the doorway to the public and now she's behind the couch. I can also smell her curiosity."

I slowly approach the couch, only to hear the filly whimpering. "They already got my parents, now they're coming for me. This isn't happening. This isn't happening. THIS ISNT HAPPENING!" Wait. By they she can't mean me and Ribs, so that means it must have been... my rage flashed into a burning star of hate. My cold fury leaked from every pore of my body.

"Chrysalis. You. Motherfucking. BITCH! I'LL RIP YOUR SPINE OUT, I WILL DESTROY YOU SO UTTERLY YOU WILL HAVE NEVER EXISTED!"

"Chi, calm down you're going to make Scootaloo worse." She's right.

"Okay, what the hell do I do, I'm no good with children, but she's obviously irrationally afraid of you."

"she's afraid of me, not Ribbon. Go upstairs, I'll follow, Ribbon can deal with her!" She says this loud enough for Scootaloo to hear. She however has other ideas.

"I know that you're Ribbon!" Well crap...

"Never mind, she's all yours. I'm going to get something to bribe the filly with."

"Try chocolate." What, it works with hormonal women.

"Never underestimate the power of candy and bits." True.

"And stupidity." I couldn't help but add, as she disguises herself before walking out the door.

Now how do I get her to open up to me... well here goes nothing... I managed to shapeshift in a filly sized version of me minus the fangs. Before walking around the couch and laying down in front of her. She stares at me, have seen my miasma at work. "Talk to me, why are you so afraid of me and Ribbon? And what do you mean by 'they already got my parents.'?" I can see the look of weakened apprehension, so I go in for the kill. "I just want to help..." I did it complete with the sad puppy eyes and even a whimper.

She cracks. "You don't understand, those bug monsters killed my parents, they nearly killed me! And they claim it was because the queen needed 'genetic material'..." WHAT! I do my best to remain calm. They.... those monsters!

"No wonder you're scared shitless by them... but I promise you, Ribbon is not like those... vermin. She cut all ties with them, becoming independent, not letting others tell her what to think or how to do things. She... she was the only thing keeping me sane when I finally broke free from the Nightmare. The flames of my wrath are the very same ones that burned in Asura, so many years ago, and as I turned them on the god of chaos himself to protect my one true friend, so would I turn them on any who would wish to harm you. And may God have mercy on their souls, for I fucking won't." At that, Scootaloo burst into tears, before burying her head in my side.

The poor thing, having her parents taken from her, and then their bodies desecrated for some sick science experiment. Realizing the crying had stopped, I noticed that Scootaloo had cried herself to sleep, her head still buried in my side. Realizing that I couldn't get away, I joined her in the dream realm, but not before feeling a sensation that could only be described as her mind brushing against mine...

this, doesn't feel like my mindscape...

I was standing in a large forest, that should be full of life, bet instead felt foreboding.

"Heeeeeelp!" Wait, am I in Scootaloo's dream!?! This must be a nightmare... I wonder, if I focus hard enough, can I influence it... forming an image of something in my... mind? I tried to impose it upon this dreamscape.

*thunk* A sign with a giant 'YES' on it plopped in front of me. Well that Answers that question. Now then, how to 'save' her, without her becoming dependant on me, or it turning it into an even worse nightmare... manifesting a ball of light in front of Scootaloo, I lead her to a mountain of my own creation, where the ball dissipated, before flowing into her.

"Their she is!"

"Get her!"

She smiled as the words came to her like a message from the gods. "In the span of a single night, a star was born and died." More of the creatures emerged from the forest. "From it's ashes, rose a life." They hissed, baring their fangs. "The apex of ages long, long past." They took to the air, mesmerised by her chant. "Crowned by the herald of a nuclear era." They began circling. "Today, the Night has deemed for it to rise." Their buzzing reached a fever pitch. "And protect its charge." The beasts closed in, wishing to further her nightmare. She grinned a manic grin. "Awaken, Godzilla, King of Monsters."

A roar, one filled with the rage of a nuclear fire, tore across the dreamscape. Then, behind her, the mountain shifted, and began to rise. A creature that could only be described as a wingless dragon, revealed itself, as its massive dorsal fins, mistaken for the mountains themselves, sliced through the clouds. Peaking at over 400 meters, it let out a second roar, before opening its mouth, and spewing atomic death upon the changelings, instantly removing them from existence. Turning to Scootaloo, and without giving her time to panic, it nodded, before it dissolved into orange and purple light, before flowing into the filly, with a message echoing in her mind, telling her that if she were ever in such peril again, it would be there, ready to defend her.

"Bravo, Chitsuki, bravo. Your prod, allowed Scootaloo to finally form a defence against these nightmares, ones even I have been unable to stop." I spun around, ready to draw Akumu, only to be Greeted by Luna.

"When did you get here?" I ask, surprised.

"Almost as soon as the nightmare started, but I must ask, how did you get here?"

"No clue. All I know is that Scootaloo cried herself the sleep in my side, shortly before I drifted off as well." Judging from the look of surprise on her face, she now knows.

"Ah, a contact synchronization. When a dreamwalker and another subject in physical contact with them, fall asleep around the same time, the dreamwalker will be deposited in the subjects dream, the moment it starts."

I shrug. "Cool story, but how do I wake up?"

She smiles. "You already are, all you need to do is think of waking up, and you will..." as she finishes, everything fades to white...

"Daaawwww..."

The sound of the door closing and Ribbon receiving concentrated cute woke me. I smell chocolate...

*grumble* And the sound of my stomach grumbling woke Scootaloo. "That was the best dream I've had in a loooong time."

I smile a knowing grin, much to Scootaloos confusion. "Did it involve a colossal lizard, raining down an unholy firestorm upon bug monsters?" Gojira, the King of Monsters, the Kami No Metsu, and now, Scootaloos guardian.

"How did you know?!" Well i'd rather not tell her I was in her dreams but I don't want to lie to her...

I smirk. "I'm just that awesome..." Turning to Ribbon I notice what she's carrying. "I smell... chocolate..."

Upon hearing 'chocolate' Scootaloo immediately perks up. "Chocolate, WHERE!?!" Before appearing to teleport to Ribbon. Damn, she moves fast when motivated.

"Slow down and I'll give you chocolate." Ribbon hands Scootaloo a bar, which vanishes within a tenth of a second. "Here." Yeah. Scoots devoured that before Ribbon could even finish talking.

Now that Scootaloo was off of me I returned to full size, before resuming my thestral identity. "Ribbon, we need to talk, I've stumbled upon some rather disheartening information..."

"Sure, you can help me put this away. Scootaloo I'll give you more chocolate if you don't leave."

Upon hearing the words 'more chocolate' Scootaloo jumps and latches onto Ribbons face. Is she a headcrab? "chocolate? Chocolate. Chooocooolaaaate. CHOCOLATE!" Jesus! A single bar of chocolate sent this filly into a sugar rush!

"AHHH! Get off me, Chi help!" Ribbon starts flailing about.

Thinking quickly, a grab another bar and open it the sound causing Scootaloos head to whip about at what I swear where FTL speeds. "See the chocolate? If you let go of ribbons face, its your-" she's already there sitting in front of me. I drop the bar out of fright, before she grabs it in her mouth, and spitting out the wrapper. She then begins running around in circles at absurd speeds.

I turn to Ribbon. "Just wait a few minutes for her to crash."

Ribbon shakes her head. "I'm never giving that filly chocolate again." Before getting up and heading for the kitchen.

Now I have to wonder. "Now what would happen if I gave Pinkie coffee?..."

Cue a horrified "NO! Not that again, Some of the residents are still sore!" From the kitchen.

Scootaloo actually stops running, and stares at me. "We do not talk about Surprise Pie... EVER!" Before resuming running in circles for another minute, then simply collapses on the floor, asleep.

"Okay Ribbon, it's safe now!"

"She crashed quickly, that good. Now what is it you wanted to talk about?" You're not gonna like this...

"Her parents were killed by changelings, and I quote 'their queen wanted to use them for genetic material'."

"What!?" She walks out of the kitchen "Genetic material would probably mean she's sterile, that's good and bad." Uhhhhh... does she mean Chrysalis was going to put eggs in th- brain, stop. You're scaring me.

"What exactly do you mean by that?" Please don't mean convers-BRAIN, STOP IT! YOU'RE SCARING ME!

"She's using ponies to breed more Changelings, that means she could lose her throne." Wat...

"And how exactly, does that work?" The confusion and disgust were evident in my voice.

"Conversions, it's energy intensive and hard to do." Shit, those poor ponies...

My worry is quite obvious at this point. "Is it reversible? Or can we at least free them from Chrysalis grasp?" This. Is. UNACCEPTABLE!

"I will find them, I will free them, and I shall rain down an ungodly fucking firestorm. I am talking scorched earth. I will massacre her. I will fuck. Her. Up! " of course at this point my anger had dried up, and left me tired as fuck, so I curled up into a ball on the floor and fell asleep...
