Nightmares Coming to Life

Chapter 5 "of to Las Pegasus"

When they finally stopped moving they noticed that they had already arrived at Las Pegasus. Or what the map showed to be Las Pegasus. It didn't look anything like it should. Instead of buildings made out of concrete and glowing signs everywhere, there was only candy and baked goods as far as the eye could see and Vinyl just crashed straight into a giant three story cake. After some time of them crawling out of it Vinyls head popped out of the cake and when she did she said. "That was awesome! We need to do that again." After her Octavia's head popped out right behind Vinyl. She then hit her upside the head and said.

"If we are doing that again you are doing it alone." When she finished her little rant she sighed and calmed down. "You are really impossible sometimes." After that everybody else got to the surface.

"Mmm, this cake is delicious." Said Derpy while stuffing a piece of the aforementioned cake into her mouth. Then the Doctor also tasted the cake and said.

"Yes this sure is delicious, but we need to get out of it and get ourselves cleaned up." He turned to Vinyl. "Could you please create another record so that we can get out of this mess." Vinyl simply nodded and created another record and placed it on top of the cake. After that, they all climbed up and Vinyl floated them down to the ground or what she thought to be the ground. It was kinda hard to tell with everything being made out of sweets. After she placed them on the ground she made the record disappear.

"Okay, then Doc where do we need to go now?" Asked Vinyl. The Doctor checked the map and when he finished he said.

"Well, the map is telling me that we need to go that way." He said while pointing towards a giant castle which was yet again made out of candy and sweets.

"Okay, can someone please punch me, because I really want to wake up now." Asked Lyra. After that Bon Bon punched her just enough to not hurt her too much. "Okay, I'm not dreaming and ouch." She said while rubbing her shoulder.

"Alright then whenever you are ready we can start on getting the next relic." Said the Doctor. Then they all started to walk towards the candy castle.

When they finally arrived at the gates to the town they saw that everything was normal. Well, almost normal the houses and everything else was made out of candy, but other than that everything looked normal. There weren't even any guards patrolling the streets and then out of nowhere Pinkie Pie appeared before them in her nightmare form. "Hiya there and welcome to Las Pegasus." She said. Our friends first jumped back and got ready to attack, but when they saw that she wasn't attacking them the Doctor stepped forward and said.

"Um hello to you as well Pinkie." After that everyone else also stepped forward and then he continued. "May I ask why you are not attacking us?"

"Oh, that's because Spore Harvest wrote me to be a break character for you guys and because I don't feel like it." After that, she pulled out a plate of cupcakes all coloured like one of the six friends from seemingly out of nowhere and placed it in front of them. "Now please enjoy these complimentary cupcakes while I go around and make everyone smile." With that said she hopped away in her trademark Pinkie hop leaving our friends completely confused. Except for Derpy who went to the plate and ate her cupcake.

"Is anyone else going to question what she just said?" Asked Lyra.

"No, I would rather keep my sanity so I'm going to ignore that last part." Said the Doctor.

"Agreed." Everyone else added. Then they all went to the plate and took their cupcakes and enjoyed them. When they finished them the Doctor pulled out the map and they started to search for the artefact, but before they were too far away from the gate Pinkie decided to join them.

"Hey, guys where are you going?" She asked by hopping next to them. Derpy then flew next to her and answered.

"We are going to explore the city so that we can find the relic that is hidden here."

"Oh, so you want a tour." After that she stepped behind the building and when she returned she was wearing a suit with a small flag poking out of her head. "Okay then if the group would please follow me and please don't get lost in the crowd." With that said everyone started to follow her.

***Canterlot castle***

Twilight was currently sitting on her throne and reading a book in her normal form. She was enjoying herself immensely but after another ten minutes of complete silence, two of her friends entered the throne room. They were Applejack and Rarity both in their nightmare modes. "Oh hello there guys. Do you have any news to deliver?" Asked Twilight while putting away the book on a stand that she had next to her throne.

"Oh, nothing too serious darling. Only that the Doctor and his friends managed to get two of the six artefacts and are already working on acquiring the third one as we speak." said Rarity while turning back to her regular mode.

"Yeah and as per your plan when they got ours we started to walk back here while bringing our armies with us." Said Applejack while also transforming back into her regular mode.

"Ah good that means that they are progressing nicely. Do you perhaps know where they are currently?" Asked Twilight.

"Well, when I chased them away from the Crystal empire they looked like they were heading to Las Pegasus. So they are probably dealing with Pinkie." Answered Rarity. Twilight then shivered and said.

"Let's hope that she doesn't go too far with her craziness because Celestia knows she is allot more hyperactive than before." Rarity and Applejack only nodded. After that, a portal opened up and Discord popped his head through it.

"Hello there Twilight and present company. Do you want to join us in a game of volleyball? I and Luna are currently owning Cadance and Shining." Luna then poked her head through the portal as well.

"Oh yes please do join. They say that this game is more fun the more players join and I would really appreciate it." She said. After giving it some thought Twilight shrugged and said.

"Eh, why not we have at least the rest of this day so why not." Then she turned to her friends and continued. "Do you want to join?" Applejack and Rarity nodded and after that, they all entered the portal and went to play some volleyball.

***Las Pegasus***

"And over there we have the hotel where you can take a rest if you wish. With that said that concludes our tour of Las Pegasus. Does anypony have any questions?" Asked Pinkie while discarding her little costume.

"I only have one. Do you perhaps know where the artefact is located?" Asked the Doctor while looking completely exhausted.

"Oh that. Yeah, I know where it is." After that, she reached into her mane and pulled out a big present. "Here it is. Now if you excuse me I need to go back to the bakery and started preparing for the evening rush. Bye." Then she gave them the present and hopped off towards the direction of the aforementioned bakery.

"Okay is anypony else going to question how come the map wasn't glowing while we were near her the entire time." Asked Bon Bon.

"I have a theory, but if you don't know anything about quantum mechanics then I'll simply say. It's Pinkie logic don't question it." Said the Doctor. Then he stepped up to the box and opened it. Inside was a small bag of sugar. After getting over the absurdity of that he said. "So who wants to test their luck this time?" After that Derpy raised her hoof and stepped forward.

"Uh, uh! Can I try?!" She asked in an excited voice.

"Sure just be careful, because it may shock you." With the warning given she stepped up to the present and reached for it and she picked it up, but when she was holding it in her hoof it was sparking and making her hair and fur stand up.

"Oh shiny." She said in a mesmerised voice. After a minute of everyone watching in complete shock, the Doctor said.

"Okay, Derpy you can let go now. It seems that you were not meant for this one." Derpy then placed the bag of sugar back inside the box and flew back. After that Lyra stepped forward.

"My turn." She said while reaching for the bag and sure enough it started to glow. When the glowing stopped Lyra was left with a golden necklace. It looked exactly the same as the other ones with the only difference again being the gem which was a golden lyre. After the transformation finished Lyra took a look at her new bling.

"Well, that's another one down. Now let's go book a room at the hotel and then we can figure out what your relic can do." Said the Doctor while walking towards the hotel that Pinkie pointed out. When everyone stopped looking at Lyra's new necklace they decided to follow him in as well. When they paid for the room they went towards it and entered when they were all set Lyra started to experiment with her relic. After some time of concentrating and nothing happening, she turned to Vinyl and asked.

"Vinyl how did you get your gem to work?"

"I just asked it and it responded. Maybe it will work on yours as well." After that Lyra put her attention back on her necklace.

"Um, artifact could you please show me what you can do." It only blinked. "What do you mean no. Don't you want to help and save Equestria." It blinked twice. "Okay if you do want to help then why don't you show me what I am able to do with your help." After that, it blinked again and then it surrounded Lyra in a magic fire slowly shaping itself to be in the form of a bipedal creature with hands. While this was all happening everyone else simply watched in awe. After it stopped morphing Lyra opened her eyes and asked. "Hey, why are you all so small now?"

"Um it's not that we are small it's just you grew and are now levitating off the floor while being surrounded by green fire in the shape of that creature you keep obsessing about." Said Bon Bon. After that Lyra started to look at herself, but she wasn't using her pony head, instead she used the creatures head to do so. After her examination she said.

"Sweet. Thanks, Blinky." The gem again blinked. Then the Doctor stepped up to Blinky and asked.

"Um, Blinky are the other gems also able to talk?" He blinked once.

"He says yes, but they were a little bit shy so they didn't." Translated Lyra.

"Well, that sure is interesting." Said the Doctor. Then he turned to Octavia and continued. "Octavia try and talk to your gem. Maybe it'll respond."

"Um okay?" Then she turned down to her gem and said. "Hello there. Do you have a name as well?" At first, nothing happened, but after a couple of seconds, it blinked. Octavia was at first surprised and then she continued. "Okay then if you don't have a name, do you want me to give you one?" The gem blinked again this time a little sooner. "Okay, then how does Radiance sound?" It blinked again. "Okay, then your name is now Radiance." While this conversation was going on Lyra returned back to her normal pony form and while this was happening Vinyl had basically the same conversation with her gem but no one paid any attention to her so they only heard the end of their conversation.

"Okay, then your name is Wub." The gem blinked once to confirm it's new name.

"Vinyl didn't you name your subwoofer that?" Asked Octavia.

"No his name is the Wub Meister. Get it right Octavia." Octavia then face hoofed and said.

"You're impossible." Then she walked to the bathroom. "Now if you excuse me I'm going to get ready for bed." Then she stepped into the bathroom, closed the door and started to get ready.

"Yeah everyone else should follow suit. Tomorrow morning we are going to make our way towards Cloudsdale and by extension Rainbows territory. So we are going to have to be rested up for whatever she has in store for us." Said the Doctor while checking the map. When he finished everypony went of towards their bed and waited for their turn in the bathroom. When they were all ready they all said their goodnights and went off to sleep.
