Rainbow Dash was flying through the crisp afternoon air on her way home. She landed on the porch of her cloud home. As she approached the door, quiet hushing was heard. Dismissing the sound, Rainbow walked into her home. The lights where off. Feeling that she wasn't alone, she peered around the room to see if anypony was there. It was to dark to make it out but she swore she saw a pink-ish mane in the shadows. She flicked on the light to see if she was right and the second the light came on, various voices shouted out "SURPRISE!!!!!!"


Rainbow was surprised. But not in a good way. "Guys. I told you i'm too tired to have a party."

Pinkie wasn't amused. "But you have to have a party. I ALWAYS throw a party when someone gets better or gets something or something else. Since when do I need a reason to PARTAY!"

"Since this is my house."

"...."

"Thats what I thought. Now get out. I want to sleep."

"Can we at least stay here and make sure you're ok?" Twilight was still worried even though Rainbow had been discharged from the hospital.

Rainbow didn't really like the idea of being alone either. "Ok, you can all stay in the guest room. I think there's enough beds."

Rainbow crawled into her cloud bed. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep because clouds are very comfortable.

Rainbow woke up in a dark, damp cellar made out of stone. "Oh no not this again." Rainbow found she wasn't chained to the wall this time, but still unable to move. She walked forward, but it wasn't of her own free will. She found herself picking up a whip off of a table that was nearby. When she looked up, she found her friends chained to the wall. Fluttershy also chained to the wall. Putting the pieces together, she figured out what was happening. "NO! DON'T HURT THEM!" She muffled through the whip in her mouth. The only thing she could do freely  was talk. She couldn't move. She couldn't do anything. She could only talk. It appeared that her friends couldn't hear what she was saying, as all they did was stand there, shocked by what their friend was about to do.

Rainbow woke up first, also screamed first. She looked around to see herself on the floor next to her bed. She had obviously fallen out at sometime during the nightmare. After Rainbow remembered, she ran to the guest room and opened the door. Quickly but quietly, she checked on her friends. As she opened the door, the four sleeping ponies woke up with a scream similair to Rainbows when she had woken. Rainbow slammed through the door and was met with a giant group hug. "Oh Dashie. It was so scary!" Pinkie was shaking as she muttered those words.

"It's ok. At least you're not in hospital like I was."

"What you did to us. It was unimaginable." Twilight was also shaking, but alot less than the pink pony. "Wait, how did you know we had that dream?"

"Because I had the same one, except I was the one doing the 'unimaginable things' to you."

"Why didn't you stop?"

"I couldn't. It was like somepony else was controlling my body and making me do those horrible things."

"These dreams arn't normal. And the fact that we all had the same one is even stranger. Wait a minute." A magic light bulb popped out of nowhere above Twilights head. "I have an idea"

"Uh Twi? Whats with the light?"

"Oh sorry, that happens sometimes."

A/N

I thought of adding another torture scene to this chapter but i couldn't be bothered to imagine cruel ways of torturing a unicron. That, and I think I already scarred everypony with my last one. However, if you would like me to add one just ask :).
