Celestia looked to the myriad of treats arranged before her. She saw cakes, and strudels, and cupcakes galore. Oh how she wanted nothing more than to eat all of the sugary treats.

She imagined herself holding the sweets to her breast, smothering them into her fur. The sugary mess covering everything in reach. She was swimming in a river of chocolate, she was drowning in icing sugar.

She trotted through the land of her imagination on roads made of s’mores, with trees made of candy. The mountains in the distance were giant heaps of ice-cream, and the houses were all gingerbread. She could feel her suns warmth spreading through her as she imagined it was composed of nothing but jello.

The unthinkable happened shortly after. A moon made of blue cheese slowly sailed into the sky, eclipsing her jello sun. The candy trees were changing into giant asparagus, and the houses became whole-grain bread. The mountains were solidifying into bulbous carrots.

Two dark cat like eyes glanced at her as she walked through the asparagus forest. She reeled, feeling her hind limbs being taken from under her. She tried to fight back, but the path had turned to tomato paste, and made movement all but impossible. She screamed as the dark entity moved in for the kill.

Celestia was startled out of her waking nightmare to the sight of the confectionary table in front of her. She turned away from the sweets, and saw nothing but the black coat of nightmare moon. She screamed in panic as the abomination laughed in her face.

-----

Celestia awoke with a cold sweat in her bed. Next to her, was twilight, who had wanted so badly to have a sleepover. With an awkward realisation, Celestia realised that the sweets had taken the place of twilight in her dreams. She feared what may lead in store due to her indulgence in letting the filly into her bedchamber.
