The dream


I was pushed inside Fluttershy's cabin, after Screwball and I were about to say goodbye an unusual thunderstorm suddenly hit and Screwy pulled me inside.

"Why did you just dislocate my arm in order to get me in here?" I asked.

"I what!!?" Screwball yelled getting the attention of both Fluttershy and Discord who were both in the kitchen."I'm so sorry Dillan, I didn't mean to I..." before she could finish I cut her off.

"I was joking Screwy it's, an expression from my world... at least I think it is, anyway I`m fine ok, all I wanted to know was why didn't you teleport me home instead of pulling me in here?" I said getting Fluttershy and Discord to look at her.

She looked between us all before looking down. "Because... I... cant use my magic right now, I tried to send you home but something is blocking it." she said looking at us with an embarrassed smile."Daddy... do you think you could send him home?" she asked Discord.

"But of course." he said snapping his fingers with his eyes closed. "There now..." he stopped when he realized I was still there. "What!?!" He shouted snapping again."I don't understand, how can this be?" he stated sitting down.


I looked on in awe as I started to wonder about my chaos magic.

"Wait... I have chaos magic to." I said getting their attention.


"Oh right... so?" Screwball asked.

I rolled my eyes and face palmed. "I mean if my chaos magic is gone to that means there is something wrong in equestria, that means chaos magic and all other kinds of magic could be in danger!" I said making them look at me in fear.

"... ok that may have been to over dramatic, however if my chaos magic isn't working then we'll have to asked the princesses about it, ultimatrix Cyclone." I said shifting into Cyclone and tried snapping my fingers, we waited for awhile as I kept trying to use my magic.

"Ok, then... this ultimatrix Catastrophe."    I said turning into a draconequus, I tried snapping my paw, and claw but nothing happened.

"Well, we should be worried." I said returning to normal. "But I suggest we all get some sleep and talk to the princesses tomorrow... but seeing as it's pouring out..." I started but Discord cut me off as he started to push me towards the door.


"Well, hope you get home soon." he said.

"Discord!!" I heard Fluttershy say, Discord groaned and pulled me back in.

"Fine, but he sleeps on the couch." he said "I don't want him near Screwball during the night in her bedroom, and I`m taking the guessed bedroom remember?" he said looking to Fluttershy.


"I was planning on it, it`s only the first date dude I don't roll like that." I said sitting on the couch.

They all looked at me in confusion, when I realized that they were staring at me I got an uneasy feeling.


"What?"

They all snapped out of their stupor. "Well... it's just that no guy, that's gone on dates with Screwball has ever said that kind of thing before." Fluttershy said.


"Do I look like the other guys that Screwballs dated?" I said sarcastically with a grin, when I laid down.

"True..." Screwball said getting in my face, making me blush before she planted a kiss on my lips, making me blush even more before she broke away. "You're much better." she said with a wink before going to her room,  leaving me, Fluttershy, and Discord all looking dumfounded.

"... Hahahaha, that girl really knows how to get her way." Discord said regaining his composure. "then again she's my daughter, well goodnight." he said and in an instant he was in his room.

"Well, looks like you really made Screwball happy," Fluttershy said kissing me on the forehead. "Goodnight Dillan, Pleasant dreams."


"Easy for you to say..." I said not looking at her.

"What does that mean?" she questioned.

"Well, ever since I came to Equestria, I've been having nightmares about my family, but it's ok I'm fine with it." I said smiling.  

she looked at me with sad eyes.

"How can you be ok with nightmares?" she said looking at me expectantly.  


I didn't answer right away I was hoping she would give up, but after a half hour passed I gave in.

"It's the only time I get to see them again, alright!" I snapped.


I realized that it sounded harsher than intended and looked at Fluttershy, she was crying and shaking.

"I am sorry Flutters..." I was cut off by her hugging me.

"It`s ok, I understand, goodnight Dillan." she said going to her room.

I fell asleep and almost instantly I began having the same dream, I was at my old house, except it was in ruin the windows were busted, the paint was pealing off and, the plants were gone, nothing was left of my childhood home.  I looked around rapidly looking for my family, my mom, dad, brother, sister, and my nieces Paige and Abigail.

"Hello, anyone hear!!!" I yelled.

"Dillan..." I heard someone say, I spun around to see my family in a ray of sunlight, in the middle of a field. I began running even though I knew what was coming. just as I got near them the sunlight faded away and my family, looked different, they all had blood on their cloths, my brother's right eye was gone, my mother was missing her arm, my dad was missing a leg, and my sister was missing her scalp. I looked all over to find my nieces but they were gone.


"Where are Paige and Abigail?" I asked after I did they parted to show two tomb stones with my nieces names on it.

"We needed you and you weren't here, it's your fault that their dead." My mother said.


"No... it can't be..." I stuttered.

"You left us, and now Paige and Abigail are dead!!!" They yelled in unison.


"N...no...I... I...didn't mean." I started to cry.

"It's your fault!!!" They kept saying, I was about to protest like usual but I couldn't, it seemed like all the time I spent hearing them repeat it, the more I believed it. I was about to give into my sadness, but something inside me didn't want to I kept trying to protest but it seemed inevitable.

"Enough, stop this at once!!! " I heard a voice yell. A bright light turned everything back to normal, and in the place of my family I saw princess Luna.

"Princess Luna, what are you doing here?" I said as I wiped away the tears

.

"I have come to see if you are alright, Twilight told me about your dreams, and I`m sorry I didn't come sooner." she said putting a hand on my shoulder.

"It's ok princess, I'm ok with it it's the only time I can see them now." I said tearing up again.

"I understand but... you can't just  wallow in your sadness." She said hugging me. I embraced the hug and started to feel better, until I remembered why I was sad in the first place.

"I can't help it, my family was all I really had... they were always there, but even then I was alone... I've been alone for my whole life." I said crying again.

"Dillan, do you really think that?"

I turned around to find Screwball, Applejack, Applebloom, Rainbow, Twilight, Sweetie belle, Nyx, Scootaloo, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Discord, Spike, and even princess Celestia standing behind us all with looks of sadness on their faces.

"What, what are all of you doing here?" I asked looking to them. Screwball came over to me and hugged me as well, in a few seconds we were all in a group hug.

"They asked me to combine all of the dreams, in order to make sure you were ok." Luna explained.

"We all love you Dillan you're our friend, don't ever think you're alone." Twilight said.

"I know you're my friends, and I love all of you two, but... I still don't have a family to call my own." I said with tears, they all looked at me with pity.

"Everyday... I see all of you together, Twilight with Nyx, and Spike, Screwball with Fluttershy, and Discord, Rainbow with Scootaloo, Sweetie belle with Rarity, Pinkie has Maud who she can see whenever she wants, Celestia and Luna have each other to go to, And of course Applejack has Applebloom and the entire apple family… but i'm always alone I'm alone." I said with my head down in depression.

"Dillan... you are not alone." Luna started to say, until pictures of my old family started flashing all around us, and I couldn't help but sing.

Another day has gone

I'm still all alone

How could this be

You're not here with me

You never said goodbye

Someone tell me why

Did you have to go

And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

I started crying more until I heard someone start singing to, I look to see Luna, And Celestia Singing.

But you are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

But you are not alone

'Lone, 'lone

Why, 'lone

Just the other night

I thought I heard you cry

Asking me to come

And hold you in my arms

I can hear your prayers

Your burdens I will bear

But first I need your hand

Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

you are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

you are not alone

Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'

And girl you know that I'll be there

I'll be there

You are not alone

I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

you are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart

you are not alone

I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

you are not alone

I am here with you

Though we're far apart

You're always in my heart


I started singing with them again, our voices making a harmony.

For you are not alone...

Not alone ohh

You are not alone

You are not alone

Say it again

You are not alone

You are not alone

Not alone, Not alone

If you just reach out for me girl

In the morning, in the evening

Not alone, not alone

You and me not alone

Oh together together

Not not being alone

Not not being alone

I looked towards the two princesses who were now talking, they came back and noticed my expression was better but not that much, they both hugged me, and I felt so happy knowing that someone/pony actually cared for me in a motherly way.

"We are all about to awake Dillan, everypony when you are ready I would like all of you to come to canterlot for a bit, we have a surprise." Luna said looking at me with a warm motherly smile as the dream faded.
