"My name is Sweetie Belle, and I live in a world where night lasts forever."

It all began on the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville, a little more than a year ago. Nightmare Moon, the mare thought to be a mere legend has returned and changed our world. She forbid the sun from rising ever again, she broke our spirits and sowed seeds of distrust and sadness amongst us.

She invaded our dreams, poured nightmares into them to make us live in fear, make us obey. And those who didn't obey, ended up in dreamlocked prisons built of their dreams, wishes and fears, with no hope of returning to the real world.

As for myself... I just want my sister back.

Sometimes, the connection to a friend extends far further than you want to believe.

When things go awry and the traps seem more realistic than necessary how will she get out of this one?

Reeling from the loss of her brother, Twilight has slipped into depression so deep that even reading the most cheerful romance novel can't make her smile in the least bit. Her marefriend of four years, Fluttershy, has gotten more and more worried as the days passed. Perhaps she has a sweet surprise for our depressed unicorn.

This is my entry for the TwiShy Group August Dual Contest. This follows both possible prompts.

The Golden Oak Library experiences a sudden and severe power outage, and Twilight soon discovers it is a citywide blackout.

Accepted into Twilight's Library on 3/24/14.

Winona has always been faithful to her masters. A hard-worker when she's needed, and playful when it's time to relax. The epitome of the family farm dog.

But how far will she go if one of the family were in danger? What boundaries is she willing to cross for the sake of another?

The answer awaits in the impending storm...

Due to a typo on her permit to build a new barn, and the meddling of a recalcitrant bureaucrat, Applejack is stuck running a bar, at least until Mayor Mare gets back to town. So sit down and have a drink in Ponyville's least likely watering hole!
