Raising dashie

by Anakastories


Its only a nightmare, age 3

"Good night my little filly." Luna said tucking Dashie in.

"Night Lunie." Rainbow said.

"Have sweet dreams." Luna said before closing the door. Rainbow held her Wonderbolts doll close to her and quickly fell asleep.

Rainbow was happily gliding along. She stop suddenly to see a path. Hmm i wonder were this goes. She thoght to herself. She trotted along the path before encountering a forest. "Maybe if i go ill get something sweet." She said to herself before entering the forest.

Rainbow slowly walked down the path looking around her spooky setting. Of corse she was scared. Who knows what coukd be lurking behind the shadows. Rainbow suddenly heard hoof steps behind her. Rainbow started to walk faster, Her pace getting quicker by the second. She then herd the hooves steps get louder and louder. This made Rainbow run. Going faster and faster and faster, Rainbow looked behind her not paying attention to the turn of the path and kept running strait. Rainbow eventuly ran intil she stoped and looked down. "Uh oh." She said before plummeting down.

"HELLLP!" Rainbow yelled plummiting down the waterfall unable to fly out. Rainbow eventuly landed in a river and paddeld herself on the shore. She couldnt rest for long, for she heard the hoovesteps agien. Rainbow sprinted intill she hit a dead end. There was no other way out. The pony got closer and was able to reconize it. It was the Headless horse! From the story Luna told her earlier that day!

Rainbow leaned agients the giant moutain.Right when the headless horse was about to get her it dissapered. Wait......What?! It dissapered clearly this was impossible...... enless something in the dream was real.

Suddenly a light landed next to her and the light faded. It was her sister! Princess Luna! "Dashie are you alright?" She asked

"Lunie how did you-"

Luna coverd Rainbows mouth with her hoof. "I am the one who moneters everyponies dreams keeping them safe."

"So you came here to rescue me?"

"Yes."

"Does that mean the Headless horse is still real?" Rainbow asked Luna.

"No little filly, it is not real. For it was only a nightmare." Luna then started flying upwards. "Night mares are not real!"


Rainbow woke up in the morning. She turned at the window across the room from her, seeing it was morning. Rainbow thought about the words Luna had said in her dream.

Night mares are not real....
