Chapter 2: The Dream Message

Reshiram and Zekrom returned to Ponyville after their date. It was late, and both of them were tired.

"Before I go to sleep, I always wonder what I will dream about." Zekrom said. "Sometimes, the dreams end up being about you."

"Aww!" Reshiram cooed. "That happens to me, too. Maybe it will happen tonight!"

"I hope so." Zekrom said. "Goodnight, my love."

"Goodnight, Zekrom." Reshiram replied sleepily.


Reshiram's dream, to her dismay, was not about Zekrom. In fact, it was very strange, and Reshiram felt like it wasn't just a dream, but a message. A prediction of the future.

It started out with Discord. Reshiram's dream-self was about to buck him in the face. But before she could, Discord's expression grew sad as he snapped his fingers, altering the dream to show Reshiram what she needed to see.

In the vision, Reshiram was at the edge of the Everfree Forest, feeding a carrot to a bunny. She was admiring the bunny's cuteness when a cry emitted from the forest. Reshiram saw herself gallop into the forest to investigate the sound. She saw her facial expression grow into one of shock. Then there was a randomized sequence of images.

Reshiram saw Zekrom's confused and shocked face, the Ponyville schoolhouse, an excited Twilight Sparkle, the Cutie Mark Crusader clubhouse, a Luxray, a white Unicorn mare she didn't recognize, a tan Unicorn mare that reminded her of her friend Virizion, the Elements of Harmony, that weird blue box, and a weird steel building. The building was then emitting a pink aura that looked like a Unicorn's magic. What did all of these things have in common? What did they mean? Did they even mean anything? Reshiram was so confused. Then she woke up.


"What does it even mean?" Reshiram questioned.

"What does what mean?"

Reshiram turned to the door to see Zekrom standing there. "Oh, I just had this weird dream." she told him.

"Care to share?" Zekrom asked.

"After breakfast, maybe." Reshiram replied.

Zekrom smiled. "We better get going, then. I'll take you to Sugarcube Corner."

Reshiram got up and kissed his cheek. "Thanks." she said.


Ponyville was rather busy today. Everypony was trotting around town, enjoying the fresh air and running their errands. Reshiram and Zekrom ran into the mailmare on the way to Sugarcube Corner, who just so happened to be Reshiram's friend Derpy.

"Hi, Reshiram! Hi, Zekrom!" the gray Pegasus mare greeted.

"Hey, Derpy. What's up?" Reshiram asked.

"Nothing much." Derpy said. "Just delivering mail, as usual. But later, me and the Doctor are going to Manehattan! Dinky and I are both super exited!"

Derpy was referring to the first stallion Reshiram met when she first came to Ponyville, the brown Earth Pony with the hourglass Cutie Mark. She had also mentioned her daughter, a cute Unicorn filly with gold eyes just like her mother.

"That's great! I hope you guys have fun!" Reshiram said.

"Why does that stallion insist on being called the Doctor?" Zekrom asked.

"I have no idea!" Derpy said. "He's always a little strange. As if the TARDIS wasn't strange enough...."

"The what?" Zekrom asked.

Derpy covered her mouth in shock. "Oh, no! The Doctor said I shouldn't tell anypony about that!"

"Why?" Reshiram asked.

"I don't know, but you don't want to see him when he's angry." Derpy said. She looked a little scared.

"Derpy, it will be okay." Reshiram replied. "I'll save you a muffin from Sugarcube Corner if that will make you feel better."

"Thanks, Reshiram!" Derpy said, instantly feeling better. "I have to get back to work, so I'll see you later!"


As they waited for their chocolate chip muffins and cinnamon rolls to arrive, Reshiram told Zekrom about her dream. Zekrom was thoroughly perplexed.

"That might be the weirdest thing since Discord." he said.

"Discord is pretty weird." Reshiram replied.

"Wasn't he in your dream?" Zekrom asked.

"Only for a brief second before I could buck him in the face." Reshiram said. Zekrom had a good laugh at that one.

After finishing breakfast, Reshiram wrapped up an extra muffin to take to Derpy. After she delivered the muffin, she would be going to Fluttershy's house.
