//------------------------------// // To Love a Counterpart // Story: Dreamy Problems // by Inactive Pone //------------------------------// Daybreaker spawned in the middle of seemingly nowhere after Celestia “killed” her in the dream moments ago. She looked around- Just a pure white environment, Nopony, nothing. “*sigh* Darn it,” She growled. “Guess I’ve been getting worse lately...” Another voice came from her left. “You’re not the only one, you know...” She turned, to find her arch nemesis: Nightmare Moon, standing a bit far away from her. Daybreaker wouldn’t forget those big sapphire eyes, her dark skin, and of course her flowing navy mane, perfectly countering the white, orange and Firey mane of her own. “Oh, it’s you...” Daybreaker hmphed. Nightmare stuck out a tongue. “What? You know I’d be here when she ‘killed’ us...” “Yeah, and it’s your fault!” “Hmph, you do you. I’m good, so let’s not deal with each other.” Daybreaker shook her head and the two walked closer. They were always counterparts that hated each other- And they always fought, especially when Celestia and Luna were fillies. When they were still young, any big fight among them could summon the two evil versions of themselves. Since they became older, the two only fought in spirit and in dreams of the two princesses, just very hidden where the two wouldn’t notice. Daybreaker and Nightmare eventually pressed their heads together, their horns clashing with each other’s and glowing red and blue. Nightmare Moon lightly placed a hoof under Daybreaker’s head. “H-Huh? Hey, what are you doing?” Daybreaker pushed her hoof away. Nightmare Moon blushed. “N-Nothing. It’s just... I’m getting bored of always getting sent back here every time we finish fighting. There’s nothing to do besides... Well, fight each other.” Daybreaker thought for a bit, and even though she didn’t want to, she couldn’t really find a reason to disagree. “That’s... Actually a pretty good point,” She said. “Yeah,” Nightmare replied. “So... I know we’ve always been at each other’s throats and all since, well, we were born... But... I am getting bored of sitting here doing nothing. Should we... uhh... Just have a little chat? Together?” Daybreaker was confused. “Why would I listen to my counterpart?” “Hey, it’s either this or we sit here doing nothing until we get summoned again by a dream. Unless you want to fight,” Nightmare explained, squeezing her muzzle against her rival’s. Daybreaker mirrored the action. “It’s not like I care that we fight.” They both frowned and started getting upset with each other, pushing back and forth. At last, they finally gave up after 10 minutes. “Alright, fine!” Daybreaker answered, crossing her hooves. “*sigh* I’m not saying that because I What us to make up, though.” “Mhmm,” Nightmare replied, doing the same. “After all, we do hate each other.” So the two finally broke apart and sat down. Using magic, Daybreaker changed the surroundings to what seemed like the Royal Canterlot gardens, where they can see the clear skies. “Hey, that’s not right,” Nightmare Moon pointed to the sun. “Hold on.” She changed it to the moon. Now Daybreaker wasn’t pleased. “Hey! Change it back!” She moaned. The two changed it back and forth, their annoyed frown getting bigger and arguing over whose time of day it should be. “Okay, Fine,” Nightmare said. “Here, Daybreaker.” She decided to make the moon in half, and rose it to the sky, making her side of the area nighttime. Daybreaker nodded in agreement and rose half of her sun, making her side daytime. “Ah, cool,” Daybreaker commented. “I never say this to you, but... Thanks for doing that. It’s a good suggestion.” Nightmare blushed. “Oh, y-you’re welcome. I just didn’t want us to fight for another long period of time, since we just decided to talk.” They both went silent for a while, admiring their own creation in the sky- And kind of bickering over how the other’s is up there too. Sitting casually on a park bench, they thought about a lot of things. “Why did you want us to talk suddenly?” Daybreaker questioned. Nightmare thought for a bit. “Oh, Uh... *giggle* I just wanted something to do.” “Wait... D-Did you just laugh? And blush, too?” “Hey, no I’m not!” Daybreaker looked at her enemy in the eye. “Oh, yes you are, Nightmare!” “No I am not, Daybreaker!” They both smiled innocently and laughed. “Well... You got me,” Nightmare confessed. “To be honest... I just wanted us to get along more. We’ve always been fighting and arguing with each other. Every time we meet, we just seem to ‘attract’ each other, you get me?” “Y-Yeah,” Daybreaker replied. “And we start bickering about who’s better.” “Yep, that’s right. Recently... I’ve been thinking... Why can’t we drop our differences for once and talk to each other? It’s not like it’s impossible, right?” Daybreaker blushed. “B-But... You and I both hate each other. And we fight all the time, even after the dream ends. You expect us to just get along all of a sudden?” “N-No,” Nightmare said. “Of course not. But what I’m trying is to experiment whether we can somehow connect with each other without fighting and arguing a lot.” “Okay...?” The two looked at each other. “*sigh* At least, this is a good start. We are at least willing to chat this time around.” Nightmare concluded. “Hmm, I guess,” Daybreaker replied. “In fact... I don’t know why, but... *giggles* I want to know you more, besides on how different you are than me.” “Sure!” Nightmare told her. “Let’s talk a bit more later. We’re off to a good start... But, I still hate you lots, Daybreaker.” “Hmph, yeah. So do I, Nightmare.” Their heads contacted lightly and they both shared a cold smile. “Let’s just... stay away for now,” Nightmare suggested. “So... You want to chat again sometime soon?” Daybreaker tilted her head. “Depends,” She answered. “Whether I feel the need to fight or not.” “Alright. If you want to, just find me. Right now... Just go do you and I’ll do me,” Nightmare agreed. They both got up and changed their surroundings to the corridor outside their rooms. Their rooms were next to each other, and they stood between the orange and blue doors. “Hey, Nightmare?” “Yes, Daybreaker?” “There’s this little spell we used to say to each other...” Daybreaker said, sneering. “You wanna do it?” Nightmare rolled her eyes. “Well, since we still hate each other... Okay.” The two got close, sat down a bit, and placed their hooves together and closed their eyes, “Day and night, never equal, never balanced. And you and I, Daybreaker/Nightmare, will forever be rivals.” They opened their eyes, softly giggling. “Hopefully that won’t be the case,” Nightmare added. Daybreaker sneered. “Oh, please. Face it, we can never be friends.” They shook their head sarcastically, letting out a chuckle. Then, they grossly hugged each other, and the fact they were now fully grown makes it even more awkward and disgusting, let alone hugging their rival. “*sigh* I hate doing this part.” Daybreaker sighed, unwillingly tightening her grip. Nightmare Moon moaned as she did so. “I don’t want to do this either...” They both shuffled a bit in their hug before they let out a groan as they separated. “So... Are we chatting tomorrow, Nightmare?” “Oh, so soon? Okay! Sure.” The two blushed a bit- They both started feeling that a friendship could work. Even so, they hid their feelings and kept their Firey quarreling and fighting in mind about each other. “Okay, I hate you, sis. Good night.” Daybreaker sighed. “Same thing. I hate you, big sis.” They both let out a hmph as they closed their door, refusing to see each other. But they only started to have more feelings for their Sisterly counterpart as time went on... Since then, the two counterparts started connecting more often and improved their connection. After their first chat together, neither of them would ever think it will happen- But they wanted to know more about each other, besides their differences. They wanted to see if they could find any similarities between them, and see if they can use it to probably make up once and for all one day. So they did! Every day, since they have nothing to do, pretty much, Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon would meet at the same time and same place. Then they started to chat for a long time- And possibly have a few quarrels here and there during the beginning of their idea. Nonetheless, they decided to talk their way out of their arguments. Besides that, they shared a lot of interesting conversations about some funny things. This one time, the two were chatting about their real selves- Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. “I wonder...” Daybreaker said. “Do Celestia and Luna fight a lot in the real world?” Nightmare shrugged. “I don’t really know. But, maybe, since they could argue to the point where we’d be summoned in a dream, not us doing intentionally.” “Mm, I see,” Daybreaker relied, then giving her a cold glance. “And don’t forget you had a big fight because you decided to make it internal night!” “Wh-Hey!” They both chuckled. Another time, they played a little game of truth or dare with each other, when they got more comfortable with their connection. Things have been better and their rivalry was relaxed. They wanted to keep it that way, for whatever reason. They never wanted to, but it happened. So, they tried to experiment with this ‘negotiation’ idea further. Anyway, back to the story. “Truth,” Daybreaker said, before looking at Nightmare. “Or dare?” “Hmmm... Thou shall speak the truth,” Nightmare replied. Daybreaker blushed a little. “What do you think we’ll be like in this blank dream if we became friends?” Now Nightmare was blushing. She looked away for a second before responding. “I... I mean, we’d never be friends, but...” She chuckled. “If we did, I think it’ll be pretty fun for us to hang out all the time, doing this and that and entering everypony’s dreams in our own will once in a while to haunt them.” Daybreaker giggled at her idea. “That could be cool. Problem is... We still kinda hate each other and we still haven’t settled our rivalry yet. I will admit, though... We’ve changed a bit since then. Our tensions are slowly relaxing.” “Mhmm, I... I can actually agree with that,” Nightmare said. “I never agree to anything you say... But this one, I really can’t deny it. Still... *giggles* I don’t like you, being my solar counterpart and all.” “Hmph, I don’t like you either.” They gave each other a look, determined to not reveal they have an intention to be friends. “Moving on,” Nightmare Moon broke the silence. “Truth or dare, Daybreaker?” “I choose dare.” “Walked right into that one,” She giggled. “Give me a hug and tell me how much you love your counterpart. Don’t worry, *sigh* I have to do it too...” “Wh-What!?” Nightmare laughed harder. “Well, we’ve been at this conversation thing with each other for a week or two now... And as you said, our tensions have been relaxing since we fought again. Don’t you wanna keep it that way?” “Actually... Y-Yeah.” “*giggles* Then quit complaining... I don’t wanna do this either but I’ve seen others bond together through hugs. Maybe... as much as we hate each other, we’d be able to bond together through the same way.” “*sigh* Fine...” Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon inched closer to each other. They wanted to go for it, but resisted since they were so shy. They didn’t like being even close with their counterpart. After around 5 minutes of blushing, they finally brought each other close and hugged. But this one felt different- It wasn’t as gross to them any more. “Hey, Daybreaker?” Nightmare asked. “This feels... Better. Yeah, this hug felt much better than when we first talked.” She smiled. “I think so too. In fact... This feels pretty good, Nightmare. We should do this more often.” Daybreaker started to rub the back of Nightmare Moon. It started as a more forceful one, but slowly it turned to gentle. Nightmare did the same action. They let out a few little grunts and told each other not to rub as hard at first. “Much better,” Daybreaker said. “Mmmm... This feels... Really soothing. No idea why, especially when it came from you.” Nightmare chuckled. “Yeah. I thought we hated each other and didn’t want to get close. But somehow... We experienced a warm feeling, because of each other, through hugs... Isn’t that weird?” “Yes, but it’s also... Pretty interesting.” “I think so too.” The two let themselves rest into the contact, making the embrace more natural. They both tried to let go at one point, but the other simply just whined and said something like, “Just a few more minutes, please?” before tightening their grip. What a shocker- Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon, two very furious counterparts who always fought, are now resting themselves into a nice session of chats and hugs. They looked at each other- Still with that face they hated, but with a heart and personality they are interested in. “You know what?” Daybreaker asked. Nightmare brought her ear close. “Yes?” The two both blushed. “How about we make up?” Daybreaker offered. “Now that we want to get close and all that.” Nightmare gasped, and beamed. “That’s a wonderful idea!” She clapped her hooves. “I’ve been waiting for one of us to say that!” “Hehe, I know. Now, as much as it sounds weird... Let’s make this a promise.” Daybreaker suggested, before whispering her idea. “Hmmm... Why not,” Nightmare agreed. “Oh, can we add this too?” She started whispering. “Haha, that’s an awesome idea!” With magic, they both turned themselves back into a filly, so they are now much smaller and look like two naive fillies who are cosplaying as an evil version of the princesses or something. “Uhm... Can I say something?” Daybreaker asked, blushing. “You... You look... Pretty cute, in this form, with your navy mane and your dark skin. You’re so tiny!” Nightmare grinned and pressed her cheek close. Now they’re both feeling really shy. “*giggles* You look adorable too.” Daybreaker just pulled away and they looked at each other. “Hey, Don’t try to act like we’re close!” “Haha, I’m just teasing you.” They changed the surroundings to the playroom of Celestia and Luna when they were young. It was very familiar to them, even if they weren’t there 24/7 like their real selves did. This is because most of their fights as children were there. It might be worth explaining how the two seep into the real world. Suppose Celestia and Luna are having a big quarrel and are having a big fight. When they quarrel and fight, they build up magic of hatred. This stimulates the two counterparts in the dream world to start arguing over whatever the real princesses are quarreling about. When there is too much hate magic stored between the sisters, they will start to transform into their evil selves in pain. Then, when they finish the transformation, the control of their actions goes down to Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon, who, as counterparts who hate each other, take the fight one step further. Moving on with the story. The two sheepishly nudged closer to each other and sat down on the comfy bed. Nightmare Moon held out her hooves, and Daybreaker took them gladly. They made a little promise. “From now on, I, Daybreaker,” “And I, Nightmare Moon,” They both winked and said their promise out together, slowly. “We will stop all of our fighting and constant quarrels, and work together to heal our connection. We will not make war over Day and Night superiority- But rather learn to balance our differences and respect them. Although we may be direct opposites, we are born as sisters, and siblings have a responsibility to care for their own companions. Therefore, we do promise each other we will stop constantly fighting, and learn to love each other.” They both shook their hooves gladly and bowed to each other. “I’m sorry,” Nightmare confessed. Daybreaker smiled. “Me too. As much as I don’t want to admit it.” “Same. Now, how about we have a nice big hug?” A smile climbed up their faces. Then spread their hooves wide, and leaned close to embrace each other. Patting the other’s back for comfort, they were really enjoying the warmth fought by somepony they’d never thought they’ll be friends with. “Mmmm...” Daybreaker sighed blissfully. “The sun is pleased by the actions of her friendly Lunar sister.” Nightmare nodded. “The moon enjoys your sun’s warmth as well.” They sighed in bliss. They didn’t really want to do this at first, but now, they didn’t mind hugging each other as much. They still think it’s a little gross, but not as much. “Wait... You haven’t finished my dare yet!” Daybreaker reminded. Nightmare blushed. “Aw, come on! It’s so gross having to tell you that I love you and all that!” “Well, you were the one who suggested it...” “And you are the one who should be doing it!” The two locked eyes as they let go. They were going to start quarreling, but they just laughed it off. “*giggles* Fine, I’ll cancel the dare, then,” Nightmare insisted. “Since we aren’t comfortable with it.” “Thanks,” Daybreaker replied. “But... To be honest... It’s only been a week, but our tensions have been relaxing so much. I’m beginning to understand you better, Nightmare. Besides our differences on whether the sun or the moon is better, there’s actually much more to you. I see it now- Hatred tore us apart from who we are.” Nightmare smiled. “Yeah, I agree. And if you want me to admit... I... I’m kinda starting to like my sister again.” “Really?” Daybreaker asked. “Well... That’s because I feel the same way.” The two sisters smiled and hugged tightly. Only about a month later, Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon have been getting along well and started becoming more open with each other. They would tell each other their funny stories, silly secrets and whatever they felt like talking about. They never did this in the whole life- Even though they were right next to each other the whole time. Why? Because like they said, whenever they meet, it’s only going to spark a big fight. Now... It’s a different story. The two started calling each other their sister much more casually now, since they are much closer. They even developed nicknames for each other, just simply calling each other Day and Night. They can get very casual and loved spending time together more than ever when they made up. Sometimes, they even sing to each other and of course, they liked to hug. A lot. Daybreaker sat on the exact same bench where they had the first chat, patiently waiting for her sister Nightmare Moon. She had a card and flowers in her hooves, because it was Heart’s and Hooves Day. Blushing, she was happily kicking her hooves in excitement. She felt a light tap on her back. “Huh?” Daybreaker looked behind. But there wasn’t anyone. She felt the tap again as she turned. “Who’s there?” As the cycle repeated a few times, Daybreaker sighed blissfully. She knew who it was. As she was going to get tapped from the back, she turned- And their muzzles squeezed together. “Aha! There you are, Nightmare!” She said triumphantly. Nightmare chuckled. “Hehe, hey, Daybreaker!” She came over to sit and they exchanged a very warm hug. “I... I brought you a little something, Night,” Daybreaker said, showing her the card and the red roses. Nightmare took a breath to smell the flora scent, and smiled as she received her present. “Aw, thank you!” Nightmare giggled. “Actually, I have the same present for you, Day.” She showed her some very amazing blue flowers and of course, her card. “You shouldn’t have,” Daybreaker thanked her. “Can I open the card?” “Sure!” As they read through the card, it was filled with many emotional words and they really liked it. Both of them reflected on what they have done, and apologized. They wrote every thing they never said to each other that they desperately wanted to say, but they couldn’t do it face-to-face, in fear the other might think she’s crazy. But, the most special part, was that both letters ended with the same three-word sentence. “I love you.” When they both read it, they gasped at the same time. “Wh-What?” Daybreaker asked. “Night... You... You like me too?” Nightmare was almost too shocked to say anything. “I do, Day! I love you!” They both covered their mouths in surprise. “*blissful sigh* Really, Day. I love you,” She repeated her words. “I know it’s a bit sudden and ai know we hadn’t made up for long yet. What I mean, isn’t necessarily real love, but I’m saying is that I really, really love you, as a sister and a friend. I suppose you feel the same judging from the card... Right?” Daybreaker smiled and almost let a tear slid out from her eye. She moved her Firey mane to try to make it evaporate. “Y-Yes...” She confessed. “I love you too, sister...” They both laughed and tightly hugged each other, and even started to snuggle! Purring as they nuzzled against each other’s body and muzzle, they had a big smile through it all. They never expected to ever be this close with each other, but now they’re officially best friends. Using magic, they changed themselves back into fillies and were hugging on their bed in the playroom when they were young. “*sigh* I’m so sorry for fighting with you, Day,” Nightmare cried. Daybreaker nodded. “You don’t have to! It’s my fault, Night! I’m sorry, and I forgive you!” “I forgive you too.” They blissfully sighed as they let their cheeks press close together. “Hey, Night?” Mhmm, Day?” “Remember when we were born into the dream world?” “*giggles* Of course I remember. It was a memory that we’ve always had.” When the two were first born into the dream world as the dreamy versions of Celestia and Luna, they were much different- Unlike usual, for some reason, they didn’t spawn as Celestia and Luna. Probably due to the fact Luna can enter ponies’ dreams and Celestia able to predict events through dreams. So instead, the two in the dream world were born as Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon and acted as a ‘reserve’ for them in dreams. But even since they were born, the two counterparts didn’t like each other. They slept on the same bed, but they would never sleep close to each other. They wouldn’t make contact unless they’re fighting. They purely disliked each other, no actual reason for quite a while. It was when they started to control the sun and moon in the dream world, their rivalry began to emerge as fillies. One day, Nightmare Moon was lowering the sun to make way for the night. It was supposed to be nighttime right now. Daybreaker came in, and seeing the moon in the sky didn’t make her happy. “Hey!” Daybreaker moaned, pointing to the moon. “What is that!?” “It’s the moon,” Nightmare said, blissfully sighing at the thing that represents her. “It’s a beautiful sight and night is such a wonderful period of time.” Daybreaker’s muzzle scrunched up in annoyance. “That’s not right!” She retorted. “The sun and the day is so much better!” She rose the sun, and bumped the moon out of the way, making it daytime even though it should’ve been night. “There we go,” Daybreaker nodded. “Now my symbol is up there.” “Wh-Hey!” Nightmare said, stomping the ground of the balcony in their castle, next to their rooms. “It’s not daytime, Daybreaker! It’s nighttime!” She rose the moon and bumped the sun away. “Hey!” Daybreaker did the same thing. The two went back and forth, changing it from day to night multiple times. They stepped closer with every cycle, yelling to prove their symbol should be up on the sky. When they finally got to a point where they were too close to move, they started pushing back and forth. “Day!” “Night!” “Sun!” “Moon!” They pushed each other back and forth a couple more times, their foreheads burning like fire from it. Soon, they pushed with equal force angrily. And quite frankly, the sun and moon on the sky were also seemingly pushing each other, like the two giant orbs are quarreling too. Finally, they blew up. “*whines* I hate you so much!” They both tried to push each other down, but ended up pulling both of them down onto the ground, and they just fought and fought without stopping! Slapping, kicking, punching, anything! They quarreled loudly as their fight escalated, and their two manes looked like they were infused together, keeping the two close. At one point, they were even rolling over each other in rage. And the weird thing? The sun and moon were still controlled, and it looks like they were colliding and spinning around with each other, like they were fighting, too. “*whines* That’s it!” Daybreaker squeaked, squeezing Nightmare Moon’s muzzle. Nightmare pushed back. “I think so too!” “If this is how you wanna play the game, Nightmare... How about we set up a rivalry?” “Fine! From now on, we are no longer friendly sisters, we’re rivals now!” They looked at each other in the eye. “I hate you! Hmph!” They both crossed their hooves, sat back-to-back and refusing to talk to each other, as the sun and moon stayed up in the sky since neither sister wanted to give way. Recalling the memory, the two laughed and laughed as they talked about how naively they fought each other as fillies. They couldn’t stop the laughter and hugged again. “Oh, Day,” Nightmare winked at her friend. “How naive we’ve been all this time.” Daybreaker winked back. “Yeah. We were so caught up on our differences, we didn’t look at what mattered most- Each other, on the inside. In fact... I was so attracted to your personality since we chatted together, Night.” “Me too.” They let their heads part a little, feeling shy. They shuffled in the hug, trying to find the words. Their heads moved a tiny bit closer, but they resisted and shook their head, blushing. “Hey... What’s wrong, sister?” Daybreaker asked. Nightmare giggled. “I could ask you the same thing...” Their eyes darted around the room, looking at anything but their sister. Finally, Daybreaker gave in. She leaned close and closed her eyes, and let her lips slowly inch closer. Nightmare slowly moved her head back. “Wh-Whoa,” Nightmare laughed. “That’s way too personal there, Day!” Daybreaker pulled back and blushed harder. “Aw, come on... I know you want to, right?” They stared silently for another few minutes. Finally, in surprise, Nightmare Moon pushed her head closer, allowing her lips to come in contact with Daybreaker’s. She smiled, and accepted the contact. They did something they’ve never done- They kissed. The Solar and Lunar counterparts eased themselves close into the contact, tilting their head to get better angles for them to get comfy. Placing a hoof on the back of each other’s head, and unfolding a wing to pull their bodies close together, followed by their other hooves touching affectionately, they wanted to deepen the contact and pull their best friend as close as possible, and they can enjoy this moment together. They finally let go after a minute’s kiss. “Hehe, that...” Daybreaker smiled. “I loved that, Night. Thank you.” Nightmare shook her head. “No, thank you, Day. For being my best friend.” They hugged each other, and pulled themselves down on to the bed. The two, closely huddled up together, started to cuddle. Nuzzling against each other, they tied their red and navy manes together to form a heart, and let their tails swish across their backhooves. They smiled as they held each other. “Let’s not fight anymore and be friends, okay?” Daybreaker suggested. Nightmare nodded. “Of course. It’s going to be hard keeping us so close... But with you, we can solve this problem together.” “I think the same way.” They blissfully sighed as a hoof from them both slid down their friend’s beautiful mane. They leaned in for another kiss- A couple, actually. Smooch, smooch, smooch, one after another. They were in bliss. “*giggles* Do you love me more than I love you, Night?” Daybreaker winked. She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, What?” “I don’t think so.” “Awww, you jerk!” They both let go and nudged each other. “Since we’ve made up now...” Daybreaker said. “All’s forgiven?” Nightmare smiled and agreed. “Mhmm! All is forgiven. But, I have a little idea we could do.” Daybreaker was intrigued, and rubbed her chin. “Hmmm, interesting... And I have an idea too! It’s kinda funny and silly for us but we could probably make this a casual thing we do.” They both made an interested glance. “Wanna talk about it in secret together?” Nightmare suggested. Daybreaker nodded. “Good idea. We are technically in the dream world right now since we changed the environment of this special dream world, so if anypony listens to us... Let’s just say we won’t ever want to be seen together again.” They both let out a light chuckle. “That’s a good point. And I get to huddle up close while we talk about it,” Nightmare said. So, they sat up close, right next to each other on the bed. Daybreaker laid a wing around her sister as Nightmare Moon slowly covered their backs with the blanket so they don’t get seen easily. They talked about their ideas on what they could do for fun together- And how they can further make their friendship better than it is now. The two had their own wacky ideas, and both of them were very interested. So they agreed to do both ideas. After a good 10 minutes of having a little discussion, they finally popped out of their cover. “So, Night... You wanna do it now?” “Yep. Let’s do it, Day...” (10 minutes later...) “Get over here, Nightmare!” Daybreaker giggled. “Nope! Try to catch me and hit me with that if you dare!” Nightmare yelled back playfully. The two were flying and buzzing around as fillies, having a pillow fight. They made their manes go back to a normal colour and not in a flowing state so it won’t mess up anything in their playtime. Moving on, they were flying around trying to fight each other with pillows, playfully slapping and hitting each other with them. They both charged in, and threw a pillow. The pillows collided and fell, but the two fillies couldn’t stop flying and crashed into each other. “Oof!” They both cried as they plopped back onto the bed, before having a big laugh. The two grabbed their orange and blue pillows again to restart their game. Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon were feeling really frisky, and started to tickle each other as they banged their pillows on their opponent’s back and head. “Haha, ow!” Nightmare giggled. “Stop it!” “No, you stop it!” Daybreaker chuckled. Feeling a bit annoyed by her sister’s tickle attack, Nightmare lunged forward to tackle Daybreaker. The two embraced tightly to form a ball, rolling around and giving kisses. Soon, they were worn out, so they decided to take a little break and chat as they regain their energy. “Woo!” Daybreaker sighed, and giggled. “That was fun!” “I know!” Nightmare replied. “I haven’t had so much fun in, forever! This is our first time being so friendly and had fun together!” “Really? Awww, now I wish we never fought and we always had frisky fights like this.” They both shared a laugh and a hug. “D’aaaaw,” Nightmare squeaked, nuzzling against her sister’s nose. “I love you, Day...” Daybreaker kissed her forehead. “I love you too, Night.” They both shared another tender kiss- And this time, everything felt natural. Their muzzles drew closer until they contacted, and they immediately melted upon their lips touching. Humming in cheer, they tried to nestle a bit closer to each other, and tilted their heads. But because of this, the two were accidentally sucking each other’s lips. They pulled back with a squeak. “Oh, god!” Nightmare said, covering her mouth. “That is gross!” “Ugh!” Daybreaker replied, agreeing with the statement. “Geez! Why did we do that!?” The two didn’t know what exactly just happened, but they laughed it off like it was only a happy little accident between them. After all, they are friends now. “Okay, that was your idea, Daybreaker,” Nightmare said. “Ready for my one?” Daybreaker giggled. “Oh, definitely. Hey! What good timing- It’s almost night now!” “Perfect,” Nightmare said. She opened a portal to princess Luna’s dreams. They were very excited. “So... We’re not really in sync yet,” Nightmare said. “But... I think this would be really fun. You wanna go mess up Luna’s dream?” The two evil sisters just gave each other a high-wing. “*giggles* Count me in.”
