The dreamscape stretched out infinitely in all directions and I just sat there for a moment, looking at the drifting lights through it. They could easily get a pony lost in here, but I just found them pretty.
A night of hunting Nightmares had been fairly productive, I had found a couple of them and absorbed their magic and energy. It didn’t last long, but that last one had been especially big and I felt like I had chugged an energy drink or two.
It was still earning morning and if I let myself actually fade into dreamless sleep right now I’d just wake up and then be unable to fall asleep again without sleeping spells which would suck.
I thought for a second about visiting Sunset or Luna, but… nopony else on the ship could visit their loved ones. It felt wrong of me doing it when they couldn’t.
Yes, it was stupid, but…
...I wouldn’t be able to keep from it indefinitely, I knew that, but still. But that left the question of what to do now…
I could still go visit somepony, who would I visit…
Haven’t visited Cadance for a while. Then again, her dreams usually had some bit of pink hue to them, some a lot more than others, and as such to be avoided at all cost.
I did not want to know what she was into.
...Okay, maybe a little curious considering how many of those kinds of dreams she had, but I wanted to be able to look at her without blushing more than I wanted to know.
Besides, it would be wrong. That too.
The dream portals shifted around and brought hers up before me. A calm silvery blue, not a hint of pink on it.
Getting up, I touched my horn to the silvery surface and stepped into the dream only to find myself in a park.
Looking around, I could see the Crystal Castle in the distance and buildings outside of the park, but otherwise there was no sign of anypony else.
I moved along the path and quickly spotted Cadance. She was playing in a small sandbox with Flurry Heart.
I considered just leaving her to it for a moment, not really wanting to interrupt but then I tapped my hoof against the ground and the dream solidified around us.
Cadance quickly looked up, her wings lifting in surprise as she realized the feeling before she turned her head and spotted me.
“Page!” she said with a smile before quickly giving Flurry’s mane a quick kiss, “Make mommy a nice castle, love,” she said before she got up and approached me.
“Cadance,” I said with a smile, “Just thought I would check in and see how you were doing.”
She nodded and then frowned, “...I heard of everything that had happened. Did my letter catch Midnight in time before you left?”
“I don’t know, Sorry.”
She nodded, “How is she and Twi doing?” she asked with a small worried look.
“It differs,” I admitted, “Sparks seems to be doing pretty okay, but it was harder on Midnight. One of the reasons why I asked her for help with the expedition, to get her mind off things for a bit. Seems to be working, the rate of nightmares is down from before.”
Not gone however. But I suppose that would be too much to hope for.
Cadance nodded and stretched her wings with a thoughtful look on her face, “I think she need somepony to hold at night.”
I raised an eyebrow at her, “I know you’re the alicorn of love, but not everything is about getting ponies laid.”
“Not what I said,” Cadance said with a smile, “But you’d be surprised on how good of a way to get rid of stress it is.”
“Mhmm,” I said, giving her a wary look, “Don’t you have better things to do?”
Cadance grinned, “Oh, relax Page. It’s not you I have in mind for her. She’s more into mares anyway, about seventy percent or so. It’s not an exact science.”
“You have met her… what, twice? How can you possibly know what?”
Cadance simply shot me an amused look and I sighed as I facehooved,
“...Right. But that doesn't mean you’re always right.”
“No, but I have known Twilight literally her entire life and they aren’t that different, they like the same things.” Cadence said and shifted her wings, “Besides, weren’t I right about you and Sunset?”
“...Yes…” I admitted and shifted my wings. She had been right when everypony… okay, just Sunny and I missed it.
“Then again, not like it was difficult, even Aunty Celestia could see that,” Cadance said, getting a thoughtful look on her face for a second as she looked at me.
I glowered at her for a second before I sighed, “What do you have in mind?”
Cadance happily flapped her wings with a smile, “Okay, this is what I want you to do…” she said and went on to give me my instructions.
Why did I visit her again?
I really should have learned to stay away from her by now.
Cadance is nothing but pink trouble.
Pink Trouble is the best trouble. Better than than some of the other trouble he has to deal with.

true. I'm just going through the entire storyline starting at New Beginnings, right now starting Secret of Flying. I love the Blank Page Chronicles as I'm calling this story series.
You know what they say.
10415624
That's over engineering for ya.
All hail the Princess Of Food!
Cadance: Ah yes~! I can't wait to see how Page takes my instruction. While we do want him to add to his herd, Page is slow as a snail on these issues. Midnight needs the love now...it is a sacrifice needed to be made.
Discord: Agreed. Not exactly what we planned but the sooner Midnight is happy, the sooner I'll be free to visit Ponyville without the immediate threat of death from Page!
Shining Armor: ...I just can't believe you tricked the Alicorn of Dreams into thinking you are only slightly more horny than the average pony...
*kick to the head*
Shining Armor: OWWW! Don't hit me! I like me!
Page is playing Cupid for Twilight and Moondancer, isn’t he?
Maybe she fucks all Nightmares when they appear and they change to pink
Or even better all Nightmares are her kink
That was a good diss
Also, isn't love about loving things and doing things too?
Like eating, wouldn't then Cadence be obsessed about eating something ?
Midnight and Moondancer. anyone with me?
Ha-ha! Shipping Cadance set sails Midnights nights wont be so alone for long anymore
Sometimes i wonder why Cadance has only one foal, just to remember that Flurryheart is a Alicorn, a supercharged natural desaster on cute tiny hooves and needs all the time she can get. Ruling a Kingdome plus being a parent must strain Cadance & Shining Armor quite a lot
10415621
Dont forget he is a Alicorn and Shining Armor isn't...
Eventualy Cadance want the next lover after Shining Armor is gone... Thank pink get really problematic
10415629
Yep. Quite the delight to re-read it all. Still feels empty here and there sometimes
10415670
Nice one *Bro-hoof* ^-^/)'(\^.~
10415720
Changeling approved
10415825
Shining Armor foal milk, all natural without any Industry addition
10415886
To obvies... Lets ship her with a Changeling! Literally nothing better to find~ Seriously mare or stallion, species or just size changing plus emotivore that knows when to hug, snu-snu, cuddel or leave you alone if you need space.
10415785
To be fair... Shining Armor has a point But i doubt Cadance is a nymphomanic.
After Flurryheart...
I mean before he probably had to stand a Alicorn size training regiment daily~♡
part of me wants to bitch at you to write longer chapters, but on the flip side then wed go weeks or months between updates....long chapters are more fulfilling but the wait is aggony, but constantly being left with a sense of wanting more is iritating too...it was one thing when was binge reading your finished works there always was more till the arc was done...now i have to wait for each new update, and its driving me nuts.

I don't know how canon it is but more canon than a world with Page.
Page: Challenge accepted.
Cadance is nothing but pink trouble
10415670
All toasters toast toast? (Shut up; it becomes toast at some point before it stops running, and is toasting toast from that point on.)
As different from the other kind of pink trouble?
*Pinkie Pie will remember that.*
10415996
supposed to be the canon twilight but obviously could also be just a duplicate from a nearly identical timeline
10415886
Very possible. I'm still waiting to see who tempest ships with, or if she'll end up being more of a warrior monk.

?: What have you done!
Cadence: Me?
?: No, not you! *Pushes Cadence to the side…*
?: I’m talking to you otherworldly entity from the 4th dimension! Wind or something?
*Knocks on the 4th wall*
?: Your activities have created so much shipping energy that they leaked trough the story/comment barrier and are now effecting the story itself!
Cadence: Do you know what he’s talking about?
Discord: He’s basically saying that our efforts have been successful.
Cadence: Oh? That’s good…
Discord: Also your life is an illusion and your mind and actions are being controlled by an otherworldly being from the 4th dimension. Likely a result of their boredom…
Cadence: Wait, what!?
?: *Incomprehensible shouting of rage at the 4th wall!*
Cadance is the Princess of love, but after Luna meet Page and get together?
Luna become the Alicorn of Lust
Hm... maybe we can get some of the former elements of Harmony into Midnight? Fans do like to ship the mares between one another...
