Half the time I don't even know how I do what I seem to do so well. I try not to think too hard on it, for fear of breaking myself in the process.

This story is a sequel to Friends and Family


Rainbow Dash is experiencing horrible nightmares of unspeakable torture. They're so vivid she's having trouble telling what's real and what's a nightly illusion. She's scared and confused and if she's to have any hope of coming out alright she'll need to rely on her friends to lend a helping hoof.

The story is set in the same world as the "Friends and Family" storyline but doesn't play any part in it other than taking note of Rainbow Dash's relationship with Applejack.

Rated for instances of extreme and comical violence.

.........................everyone say it with me. cupcakes reference we meet again you and i have a history a long one.:pinkiecrazy: ok back to the story, its good i love this little universe you got here with the sisterly bond of AJ and Rainbow. the idea of Dashie having nightmares about cupcakes has been done before in fact its been done a million times. but who cares i liked rocket to insanity i liked light in the darkness i think thats what its called. if anything i rather it be a nightmare that Pinkie herself helps Rainbow with, hero!pinkie isnt written as much in these. so good job i hope to see more from your headcanon.:pinkiehappy:

But how many of those cases has Pinkie ever been given a chance to be a hero rather than a villain or just another victim?

Don't worry there's much more F&F headcanon on the way.

Rarely i did not mean it was done alot in a bad way. i meant your execution of it was a one of a kind its not often we have hero pinkie. if anything this fic could just cure what cupcakes does to some people in how they feel about pinkie. So i see no reason for the dislikes this story got.

I like this take on it. It also kind of reminds me of another fanfic where Cupcakes was Pinkie Pie's nightmare.

There's no way I could ever hate Pinkie!

I agree shes too adorable to hate! I think i know which fanfic you're talking about its light the dark right? Where Dash comes back from a show and she goes to check on Pinkie who she finds out had a nightmare and there is a sweet friendshipping moment between the two.

I should check that out. I was thinking of Silent Ponyville, where Pinkie Pie has nightmares about harming her friends, including one about torturing and killing Rainbow Dash in a way that reminded me of Cupcakes in the beginning.

Oh snap I forgot about silent ponyville that story was awesome! But yeah light in the darkness is good one too.

I'm glad to see some of my older stories are still getting the love.

You deserve it I like your portrayal of dash she's more sympathetic I just freakin love your writing XD.

I really like this!

A true, true friend helps a friend in need, indeed.

I hate Cupcakes-mainly for ruining the PinkieDash ship back in the fandom's early days and influencing Bronies' views on Pinkie-but the existence of this fic makes the Abomination worth it (almost.) As for this tale, I unequivocally love it. Both Dash, Applejack and Pinkie really care about each other. I like how Applejack makes Dash feel safe.

One thing, you don't need to say how a character is feeling-the reader should be able to figure it out. Everything else was great.
