The Nightmare in pink

by THE MIGHTY PINKIE


Chapter 3: It's all a dream

Everything was silent, a bird's whistle could be heard from a mile away. Twilight's face, was compeletly frozen as was every other pony except for Trixie's, she was smiling directly at Twilight.

"What is wrong with you" said twilight "how could you do that, to pinkie pie of all ponies"

Twilight's voice was shill, out of breath even. Having to create a forcefield like that should have been such a mundane task. but it wasn't, it completely drained her of her energy. Twilight realised that this wasn't normal for Trixie to do so much.

"Oh its not over yet" said Trixie Confidently.

Trixie built up the same amount of power in her horn as before, but she didn't seem to have much trouble with it. In fact she looked as she had completely grasped the spell. Trixie then released a bolt of magic towards Twilight and Celestia. Trying her best to create another forcefeild, Twilight used all her energy and directed it to her horn, but failed. Twilight and Celestia looked at each other, a tear ran down Twilight's cheek. Suddenly Celestia looked straight at the bolt of magic coming toward Twilight and made a quick desicion to wade in front of the beam. The bolt of magic hit Princess Celestia and vapourised her in an instant.

"PRINCESS!" Twilight shouted

But as soon as she was there, she was already gone. All the ponies gasped and look at trixie in horror, they then looked at Princess luna. Princess Luna stood in shock, her mouth wide open and tears running down her face. Luna collapesed to her feet

"sister" Luna whispered to her self

Trixie opened her eyes to notice all the ponies looking at her in horror, She then saw Twilight's face.

"Well that didn't go as planed" Said Trixie "but it still shows i am better at magic than you, i'd like to see you try that"

Twilight came to her senses and said

"What... have... you... done...?" said Twilight angrily "How could you? to your own princess!

Trixie smiled and said

"oh that means you dont know the spell" Trixie said joyfully "i told you im way better"

"I would never use a vapourisation spell on any pony" said twilight "why do you think i never learnt it"

"a vapourisation spell?" Trixie said confused

before anyone could react, dark rain clouds cover the area, as though the sky itself was angry. it started to thunder and lightning, the wind picked up menicingly. Princess Luna flew up to the air, wings spread open and her mane flowing vilontly, her eyes were glowing white.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TOO THY SISTER?!" Princess luna shouted "TELL ME NOW?!"

Everypony looked at the princess, knowing this had mad her angry. they were scared but also felt angry aswell, angry because this one pony had caused Princess luna to do this.Princess luna swooped down toward Trixie and pined her down to the ground.

"YOU INSOLENT PEST!" shouted Luna "YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!

Trixie scared out of her wit put her hands above her head

"w-w-wait she-she-shes okay i-i-i promise you just please dont hurt me princess im sorry" Pleaded Trixie

The clouds started to clear and the wind dropped. Princess Luna's eyes began to go to her normal color and she calmed down, everypony gasped. twilight walked up to Princess Luna pining Trixie down.

"Is this true little pony? said Princess luna as she got off trixie and helped her up.

"y-y-es" said trixie in a shrill voice.

"the princess is fine she just not here that's all" said trixie

"How can you just say "thats all" said Twilight "is this some kind of teleportation spell or somthing worse?"

Trixie looked at both ponies in front of her, wondering why they were so angry

"well little pony tell us" Said Princess Luna

"well she is inside your asleep pink friend over there" Trixie said as she pointed a hoof at the sleeping pinkie pie

The two ponies look at each other in confusion, wondering just what she meant by inside pinkie pie.

"wait does that mean pinkie pie's not..? said Twilight not wanting to finish the sentence.

"what? no of course not, shes sleeping what else would she be doing" said trixie

Twilight put her head down not wanting to hear her friends name. Then trixie realised that twilight thought she must have done something else to Princess celestia. Trixie looked at Princess luna

"Blue unicorn what have you done with thy sister" said Princess luna

Everypony who heard that question wanted an answer, all went quiet so to hear what has happend to their beloved princess of the sun. trixie turned to Princess luna.

"princess celestia is inside pinkie pie's dream" said trixie

The town's ponies started to whisper amung them selves, talking about what they just heard.

"how is that possible" said Twilight "i thought you"- twilight looksed at luna- "only had that ability.

"it would seem not miss sparkle" said Princess luna "it would also seem that this pony knows about this magic, tell me how can you have knowlage of this type of magic"

trixie used her magic to pull out a big red thick book from within her satchel

"i found it in this" said Trixie

Trixie showed the title of the book at Princess luna which read "DARK MAGIC" and the caption underneath saying "SLEEP SPELLS. Princess luna looked at the book in horror and a tear rolled down her eye. twilight looked at the book, then looked at the title

"Trixie? Where did you find this book?" said Twilight

Trixie began to sweat as she knew she would get into trouble for saying she stole it from the canterlot liberay, but realised she is already in trouble for what she has already done

"i-i stole it from the canterlot liberay" said Trixie

"YOU WHAT!?" said Rainbow dash as she came swooping down into her face

"Why do you have to be such a nusence Trixie? Rainbow dash exclaimed "why can't you just leave?, you've already done enough damage as it is!"

Rainbow dash is suddenly pulled away from trixie by Applejack grabbing her tail with her mouth

"Woah there nally" said applejack "theres no point cryin over spilt milk, im sure she didn't mean to do what she did"

"Darling, your getting worked up again. Please dear calm down. said Rairty as she walked up to Rainbow dash and Applejack

Rainbow dash calmed down and landed on the floor, not wanting to upset anyone further. Rainbow dash knew if she kept arguing with Trixie that it would make matters worse, she knew this from experience.

Princess luna walked back and said

"it is as i feared"- luna looked back at trixie "you have activated the dark magic of old, it is not any old dark magic, this magic was created to completely destroy the users heart and soul. Trixie if you keep using this magic it will corrupt you aswell. when you used that magic for the second time did it feel easier?"

"yes princess it did" said Trixie nervously

"as i thought" said Princess Luna "Trixie you must not use that magic ever again, do you understand?"

"yes i understand" said Trixie

"but wait" interupted Rainbow dash "if she can't use that magic again how will she save Princess Celestia?"

Princess Luna thought about this and came to one possible outcome, she would have to go into pinkie pie's dream and save her sister herself.

"i will have to go into your friends dream and save her myself" said Princess Luna

"WAIT!" shouted Twilight

Everypony looked at twilight, wondering why she shouted.

"Princess Luna" twilight said as she brought her head up from trixie's book

"You can't go for too long long though" Twilight exlamied

"Why miss sparkle? is there a problem? Said princess luna

"yes" twilight said

Twilight ran up to princess luna and showed her a page in the book and said

"princess i'v been reading this book for a solution and have found out the pony who created the magic, it was King Sombra." said Twilight "and as we know King Sombra has a way of making things difficult"

Princess Luna looked at the book to see if the creator was correct and unfortunatly she was. A tear ran down Lunas cheek knowing that before he turned evil, he was lunas friend, but betrayed her for using dark magic. it haunted her untill this very day to hear his name. Princess Luna snapped out of her day dream.

"miss sparkle" Princess luna said "so what is this solution you were talking about"

"ah yes" twilight said as she remembered what she was saying

"i couldn't find a way to help Celestia or pinkie pie but i did find a way to aid you. as you said you would have to go into pinkie pie's dream to save both Celestia and pinkie pie but, you would have to be careful. as i understand the dream the two are in isn't any old dream, it is a nightmare for both of them. It is full of their worst fears.

"so all i would need to do is go in there, get them and get out right?" interupted Princess luna

"its not as simple as that" said Twilight

"you would have to find them first, but since it's they are inside pinkie pie's mind, knowing her they could be anywhere. but she should be at the centre of the dream as she is hosting it, so she shouldn't be hard to find. finding the princess on the other hoof is different she would be wherever pinkie pie thinks she should normaly be, probably her castle in canterlot. Plus you wouldn't have long before the before the nightmare in her dreams corrupts you too"

Trixie then walked in font of them both and said

"can the great and powerful trixie come with you" said Trixie

"you?" said Princess luna "why?"

"please" said Trixie "i would at least like to try fix what i have done, all i wanted was too show how better i was. i didn't mean for it to end up like this.

"I see you have a good heart miss trixie" said Princess luna "you dont always need to show you are the best, sometimes it's best to not care if your the best or the worst as long as you try your best"

"She's right trixie, i always seen great potential in you but you cover that with your arogance, you could become great if you just practice and if you were nice to others

"i will twilight" said trixie

"and trixie" said princess Luna"you can come with me" said

"thank you princess" said trixie

Trixie and Luna smile at each other now knowing that Trixie has made a new friend

"please ,call me luna" said princess luna

Twilight inturpts and said

"i shall come too"

Princess luna walked up to twilight and said

"i'm sorry twilight i will not be able to hold the three of you in the dream, it will be too much for your friend to handle. Plus if something were to happen to me or you then there would be no one to look after equestria"

"yes Princess" said twilight

twilight was dissapointed that she could not personaly save her friends, but she knew luna was right. Princess luna placed a hoof on Twilight's shoulder.

"Twilight, you are strong leader, you have defeated many foes in your past and even helped me to become myself again, i think you should leave it to someone else for a change.

Twilight looked up at Princess Luna and smiled, knowing she is right. After all Twilight was exausted from that battle with Trixie and would need a rest.

"Yes princess" siad twilight

Trixie came over to twilight and huged her.

"i'm so sorry Twilight, i hope you can forgive me"

Trixie teared up, but she wiped the tears away before anyone could see.

"it's okay Trixie, i do thats what friends do right?"

Twilight smiled and trixie smiled back, still with tears in her eyes.

"im sorry to interupt this meaning full moment of yours" said Princess Luna "but we must get to the matter at hoof"

"Yes Princess" said trixie

Trixie and Princess Luna walked up to the sleeping pinkie pie, she was curled up and smiling to her self. Pinkie pie let out a great snore which broke her cuteness a little.

"Goodbye everypony, goodbye Twilight, i will see you soon" said Princess luna

"oh and Twilight" said Trixie "Thank you"

Princess luna concentrated her magic into her horn and created a small aura around the two ponies, she then concentrated on Pinkie pie, who was fast asleep, Suddenly the two ponies were transformed into magic energy and was seemed to have been sucked into pinkie pie's ear.
