Twilight loves all her friends, but lately a certain pink pony has been occupying her mind a bit more than usual: thankfully, she knows to keep such feelings to herself.

...So why has that mare been giggling everytime she passes by?

The Dreamscape. A realm of pure, untainted magic, where your limitations are only bound by your own imagination. Luna guards this realm with her life, but when even her magic isn't enough to stop a malevolent force from infecting it and entering into the mind of a friend, she turns to Twilight for help.

They must enter Fluttershy's broken and tainted mind to stop the corruption before they lose her forever.

...
Oh, and by the way, thanks for the idea Enigmatic Otaku. I hope you choke on a pineapple.

Twilight Sparkle's long journey had been aimless. Formless. A search for something she could not, or would not name. Her living, singing ship had plied the void for so long with no destination in sight.

But everything is different now. This is a mission of mercy.

Thank you to TheMaskedFerret for her help, and for being a friend when I needed one. And for ScarletWeather, who also read this and is also very good.

The Midsummer Theater Revival is Coco Pommel's most favorite thing in the entire universe.

So of course she's very excited to get a chance to help out.

And when helping out leads to her cutie mark, she's happy. Of course she's happy.

A million thanks to everyone who sat through my complaining about this story and made it into something decent. Y'all know who you are :)
