The Magic of A Dream
Help From A Mare...
By Major Frostwing
Lance woke up in his dreamscape he looked around seeing the shadows forming in the distance. "ONE NIGHT THAT'S ALL I ASK FOR!" He yelled at the shadows the began to form into all the ponies he had helped since he got his cutie mark. "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" He screamed as tears rolled down his cheeks. He collapsed to the ground. "Just go away." He whispered as that same light flashed between him and the charging shadows. The light got brighter and brighter Lance had to cover his eyes from the light but it continued to shine then it ceased. Lance looked around and saw a beautiful night sky above him and soft grass below him. "What happened?" He asked as he looked up to see the alicorn collapse to the ground. "Princess Luna...?" Lance got up and ran to her he knelt down to her she was exhausted. "Princess I told you my dreams are dangerous why did you come and help me?" Lance asked himself.
The shadows shifted and began to form a dragon it spat black flames all around the area. Lance was afraid of this monsterous creature he was about to run until he looked down at the mare next to him. "I can't just leave her behind." Lance said to himself. The dragon roared which made Lance jump in terror. The dragon spat a shadow towards Lance. "Run or stay DAMMIT LANCE FIGHT BACK!" He bellowed in his head. The shadow came so close to Lance but splashed across a barrier Lance stared down the nightmare with malice. "Get out... GET THE BUCK OUT OF MY DREAM!" He screamed as a flash of blue slammed into the dragon shattering it. Lance looked down at the princess with tears in his eyes he held onto her and sighed. "I need to wake up." Lance said as light enveloped the area.
Lance groaned as he blocked the sun's rays from his eyes. "Buck off Evil Day Moon." Lance said as he groggily got up he looked at the clock sighing. "I will call Marey Day and tell her to cancel my appointments for the day." Lance said as he picked up the phone. It rang twice before the mare answered. "Marey cancel my appointments for the rest of the day." He listened to her for a few seconds. "BLUE BLOOD CAN RESCHEDULE TO MY SCHEDULE I DON'T WORK AROUND HIS!" Lance yelled as he hung up. The unicorn sighed as he sat down placing his head in his hoofs. "Dammit." Lance spat out as he looked up to the dark interior of his home. A knock came to his door He looked at his door annoyed. "I don't have time for them." Lance said as he walked to the door. "I don't want Mare scout cookies." Lanced yelled out the door.
"Well then it is a good thing I'm not selling cookies." A familiar voice said he opened his door to see Princess Celestia standing before him. "Well damn I would have rather taken my chances with the Mare Scouts." Lance said inviting her into his home. "Did you want to schedule an appointment Princess?" The unicorn asked as he turned on his coffee maker.
"No it's about my sister." She said calmly but Lance could see the sadness in her eyes. "She seems to be hurt from her Dream walk last night I was wondering if you could help her?" She asked looking at him.
"I guess that would be my fault Princess." Lance said as he poured himself a cup of the black liquid. "She tried to get rid of the nightmares I have absorbed over the years she exhausted herself in the process." He took a sip then set the cup down. "Barely put a dent in those monsters." The unicorn whispered almost inaudibly. He felt his anger flare which shattered the glass. He sighed at his flared anger. "My apologies Princess." Lance said as he placed the cup in the trash. He levitaited a rag over to the mess and wiped it up.
"Can you come see her please?" Celestia asked with concern. Lance sighed.
"I originally wanted the day off but I can make an exception for Princess Luna." He said as he set the rag down he walked out of his home with the princess walking towards the castle.
