It was later that night when they were all going to bed when Dennis' ears got what they needed. He awoke in the dreamworld and he was in his bed, but Luna wasn't with him. He walked outside of the cabin and looked up at Canterlot. There he saw his Luna standing at the balcony. He flew up to her and stood next to her. She looked at him and smiled softly. Dennis loved her smile. It always calmed him when her saw her smiling, with her bright teal eyes glistening in the moonlight. He walked closer to her and brought her into a hug. She returned the hug then began to hum a little tune. She released him and continued to hum, but it sounded it was coming through headphones. Luna took off into the sky continuing to hum. He watched and listened to her until she began to sing.
Come little children,
I'll take thee away,
into a land of enchantment.
Come little children,
the time's come to play.
Here in my garden of shadows.
Follow sweet children,
I'll she Thee the Way.
through the pain and the sorrows.
Weep not poor children.
for life is this way.
Murdering beauty and passions.
Hush now dear children,
It must be this way.
Too weary of life and deceptions.
Rest now my children,
for soon we'll away.
Into the calm and quiet.
Come little children,
I'll take Thee away.
Into a land of enchantment.
Come little children,
the time's come to play.
Here in my garden of shadows.
Dennis was smiling at how beautifully his Luna could sing, but also felt himself feeling drowsy due to her lullaby. He stumbled around and Luna took notice. She swiftly flew down to him and caught him before he could fall. Dennis put n arm around her and looked at her then smiled. She returned his smile. Dennis shook his head to stay awake, but fell down onto the floor. Luna giggled and then heard a light clop. She turned to see a pair of teal eyes looking at her.
"My, my. That was beautiful. But...too bad," Nightmare said walking out of the shadows, "Daddy's not here to protect you now." She growled.
Luna gasped and turned to her father, but was quickly struck down, and taken into the night. A few hours later Dennis woke up startled. He looked around to see that Luna was gone. He quickly got up and searched Canterlot, top to bottom. He didn't find her anywhere. He quickly flew down to the cabin and burst through the door. He everywhere in the bedroom and didn't find her. He burst into Shining's room startling him.
"Have you seen Luna?!" He asked.
Shining shook his head.
"Ahhhh SHIT!" Dennis shouted running out of the cabin.
He ran out to the front and looked around.
"LUNA!!!" He called. "LUNA!!!!!!!" She was nowhere to be found.
Dennis cursed under his breath. He then realized the only place that she could be. He looked up towards the moon. That bitch... He thought. He flew off towards the moon. It took him a couple minutes to reach the moon. He landed and looked around. Wasn't hard to find Luna. He walked over to her and reached an arm out and then stopped. He brought his arm back a bit. Luna turned and looked at him, but something was wrong with her eyes, they weren't Luna's, they didn't show any love, not even a bit. Luna got up and walked towards him.
"Dad? What's wrong?" She asked.
"Don't call me that. You're not Luna. Wheres MY Luna?!" Dennis shouted.
"What are you talking about Dad? Why are you saying this to me?" She asked with tears rolling down her face.
"Where? Is? Luna?" Dennis demanded.
Nightmare knew that her plan wasn't working, so she went for Plan B. She slowly morphed back into her own body and glared at Dennis.
"You want her? Fine! You can have her!" She shouted.
Dennis was blinded by a light and he saw Luna. She had her eyes closed and she opened them and saw Dennis. Dennis sighed and ran towards her and she began to gallop towards him. Nightmare knocked them both back and they both were scattered. They both got up and looked at each other and then to Nightmare.
"Don't expect this to be a walk in the park for you two!" She boomed.
Dennis looked at Luna and she looked at him. Dennis winked.
"That's exactly what it's gonna be, Nightmare. This is OUR Wonderland! You can't take it from us!" He teleported next to Luna. "And you know what else you can't take from us?! Our love!" Dennis shouted and then hugged Luna close.
Luna returned the hug smiling brightly. Nightmare growled and then shot a bolt at them. It was nearing them and then it was deflected back at Nightmare. She dodged it and looked back at them. Dennis smiled but kept his eyes shut. Nightmare continued to fire at them only to watch them ricochet off of them.
"No! This isn't fair! How is this possible?!" Nightmare asked.
"It's called love Nightmare. You must understand. Love is what keeps most of us going, and you can never take love away from family. Even though they may show hatred, somewhere inside, they still love you." Dennis answered smiling at Nightmare.
A tear fell from Nightmare's eyes. Everything was silent for a few minutes, then Nightmare screamed and a blinding light was formed. He cover Luna while looking away from the light. The light disappeared and both Dennis and Luna looked at each other. They smiled and wrapped each other in another hug.
Dennis woke up and saw Luna lying on top of him. She looked at him and smiled. Dennis smiled and kissed her on the head and held her close. Luna returned the hug and nuzzled his chest. Dennis opened his eyes a bit and saw his alarm clock. 6:00. Dennis shrugged and then hugged Luna tighter.
"I love you so much." Luna said.
A tear rolled from Dennis' eye.
"I love you too, my little Luna."
