Charming Thunder walked through a dark and wet cave wearing his camp uniform with red long sleeves on it. Sound of animals and water was heard as he walked through the cave. As he walked past a jungle of vines, he heard a noise behind him coming from the other side of the vines. He stopped and decided to look through the vines to see what the noise was when suddenly, the other human self of Charming Thunder popped out trying to reach for him. Another grabbed his shoulder as Charming Thunder activated his lightsaber and turned to see them. He then deactivated his lightsaber as he heard them crying for help. They then froze in place as he walked past them to venture deeper in the cave. Another sound was heard as he ventured deeper and deeper until he encountered Midnight Sparkle grabbing Twilight Sparkle. "I'll always be there waiting in the darkest shadows of your mind!" Midnight said. Charming Thunder was shocked on seeing her hurting Twilight. "I'll be back, Twilight! And this time, I won't stop until I have all the magic!" She was then absorbed into Twilight and she transformed into Midnight Sparkle herself.
"NO!!!" Charming Thunder shouted as Midnight turned to face him.
"Come to save your girlfriend, hm? I'm afraid that she is not here at the moment." Midnight grabbed her lightsaber and activated it as Charming Thunder did the same thing with anger in his eyes. Charming Thunder struck first when Midnight approached. Midnight continued to block the incoming strikes and took an oputunity to grab his arm with the blade in hand and chop off his arm. Charming Thunder screamed in pain as he got to his knees. "Your friendship with Twilight makes you weak, Charming." She then raised her blade and delivered the blow.
---------------------
Charming Thunder woke up fast and breathed deeply and checked to see if his arm was still intact. He sighed with relief and turned to Twilight. "You alright, love?" Twilight asked; worried.
"Yeah," Charming Thunder replied. "Just another nightmare."
"Me too."
"Midnight?"
"Yup."
"Attention, students, we're almost there," Principle Celestia announced. "But before we arrive, we just wanted to say how proud we are of you for raising enough money to go on this class field trip."
"When we were your age, we made some of our favorite memories in these woods, and we're sure you will, too," Luna added.
"Now who's excited for Camp Everfree?!" Everyone in the bus cheered as the ride to the camp continued. Charming Thunder looked out of the window next to him with a little worry. Twilight placed a hand on his shoulder to cheer him up.
"You want to talk about it?" Twilight asked.
"Not here," Charming Thunder said. "Not now."
"When we reach camp?" Charming Thunder turned to face Twilight.
"Deal." Both Twilight and Charming Thunder shook hands as they sat in the bus ride.
---------------------
Arriving at the camp grounds, Charming Thunder helped the students while Twilight was with her friends. "Isn't Camp Everfree just beautiful?" Fluttershy asked. "I can't wait until we have our first nature walk."
"I definitely wanna go on one of those," Spike said.
"You wanna see all the adorable woodland creatures, too?"
"Yeah! Specifically squirrels. More specifically, so I can chase 'em!" Spike barked and panted for joy.
"I'm just lookin' forward to roughin' it.," Applejack said. "I'm gonna make my own shelter, forage for food..."
"Uh, you know they provide us with food and tents, right?" Rainbow said.
"Yup! Still gonna forage though."
"I'm just after some R&R," Rarity said with a sigh. "The past year has all been a bit too much for my tastes."
"I'll say!" Pinkie added. "We fought three evil sirens who tried to hypnotize everybody with their singing, one ridiculously competitive rival school, and two demon friends!" Charming Thunder turned as he heard what was said. "Uh, no offense."
"None taken," Sunset said. She leaned towards Twilight. "You'll get used to it."
"Yep," Applejack said. "Canterlot High has become a regular magic magnet. Gonna be nice gettin' away to a place where we don't have to worry about that kinda stuff." Charming Thunder approached Twilight as Flash arrived with her backpack.
"Here you go, Twilight," Flash said.
"Thanks," Twilight said. "It's...Flash, right?"
"Yup, that's me! And you're you. And we don't know each other very well."
"Right. I guess I'll... see you around."
"What's his deal?" Charming Thunder asked as he received his backpack from Vinyl.
"You know how there's that girl who looks just like you when she's here but lives in another dimension and she's a pony princess?" Sunset explained.
"Uh-huh."
"Flash kinda had a... thing for her."
"That explains it," Charming Thunder said as he went through his bag to make sure he didn't forget anything. Twilight noticed that he brought his helmet with and walked up to him.
"You promised not to wear the suit again," Twilight said.
"Just in case of an emergency, Twilight. I promise." P.A feedback was heard as students covered their ears from how loud it was.
"Hey, everyone!" a female said from the P.A. "If you could start heading to the courtyard, that would be rad! It's time to start the best week of camp ever!"
"Guess we will talk about earlier later, Twilight." Twilight nodded as they made their way to the courtyard together.
