Island by Ratsenkio
“I’m sick of your high and mighty attitude!” screamed Vinyl to a crying Octavia,
“This is it Octavia, I don’t even know how I put up with you. It’s over.” and with that final phrase Vinyl turned around and went away.
“Vinyl!” cried Octavia to no avail, Vinyl was already gone never to be seen again.

“You’re just too out of control!” screamed Octavia to a crying Vinyl.
“I’m sick of it, I don’t even know how I could like a low life DJ like you. Farewell Vinyl.” and with that final phrase Octavia turned around and went away.
“Octavia!” cried Vinyl to no avail, Octavia was already gone never to be seen again.

“Well, it seems this has gone long enough.” said a mysterious voice.
“Who is that?” asked Octavia, still not lifting her head while tears streamed her cheeks.
“It’s us. Princess Luna, my dear pony. We have come to realize that you have been having nightmares for a few night now”.
---
“I did, but why and how are you in it?” asked Vinyl while drying the last of her tears. Her cheeks still porting the obscured lines that only comes with wet fur.
“That's easy, my little pony. As the princess of the night we also guard the dreams of our subjects. Protecting them from the terrors of the night, such as nightmares.” responded Luna.
“You see, when ponies fear or have insecurities about something, they tend to have nightmares.”
---
“It makes sense, I’ve been insecure for a few days now.” said Octavia.
“Care to share?” asked Luna “Maybe we can be of help. It is our duty after all.”
“Oh, don’t worry about it your highness. Its just a silly problem” responded Octavia.
---
“It may not be as silly as you think. It does seem to be the root of your nightmares. Please tell me about it.” said Luna.
“It’s only that I started living with my marefriend a few days ago and I’m really scared that she comes to dislike me if she stays with me all day long.” said Octavia and Vinyl at the same time. Much to the surprise of each other.
“Vinyl, what are you doing in my dream?” asked a baffled Octavia.
“What are you doing in my dream? I was talking with Princess Luna,” asked an equally surprised Vinyl.
“What? I was talking with her too!” Exclaimed Octavia.
While that little exchange was taking place, Luna’s face had been morphing from a knowing smile to a full grin, to the point that she could no longer contain her laughter.
“How is this possible?” asked both Octavia and Vinyl at the same time to the laughing Luna.
“You see, my little ponies. Dreams are not isolated from the dreams of others. It’s more like an ocean of infinite dimensions with the dreams of each being being like a little island in it surface.” explained Luna, “Sometimes when two ponies say that they had the same dreams, means that one of them unconsciously ended up in the other’s island. And the dream is shaped at the imagination of both of them.”
“Then why are we both with you right now if we didn’t share the same dream.” asked Octavia.
“Please, We are the princess of the night. To move one pony from his dream to another one's is mere foal’s play if one knows where to look.” explained Luna.
“Now, if you excuse us. We still have to watch other ponies dreams. Furthermore, we are sure you need to speak with each other.” said Luna before taking flight. Right before they were out of view, she turned around to see the two mares kissing.
“Ah, young love.”
