Hello, This is my first Fanfic so i am a bit excited to see how it turns out. I apologize for not putting this up here earlier. (I Knew i forgot something when i created the story!) I really hope you all enjoy. Disclaimer: I do Not own My Little Pony in any way.

Nightwing opened his eyes and found he was falling. He didn't know where he was but he was falling. "W-w-where am i?" He asked out loud to no one in particular. He saw the night sky rushing past him extemely fast. It was dark for there was no moon. He looked down and saw what looked like a party. There were lights and balloons and tons of ponies right below him.

Apparently a pony was looking up at te sky a that moment because she saw him and screamed. All the other ponies looked up and were shocked at what they saw. He tried speaking, to tell them to get out of the way, But the wind wouldn't let him. it took his breath away as the ground came closer and closer. Right as he was about to hit it, He woke up, panting and in a cold sweat.

It was about 3:00 in the morning, and he was laying in his bed in the east wing of the Royal Guard Barracks. He was okay and definitaly not falling. What a strange dream. I wonder what it meant. He thought to himself. He waited for his heart to racing and decided he would try to get some more sleep before the daily routine started. He only closed his eyes for a moment before he heard the the morning bugle go off signifying that there day was beginning. He was dead beat tired and felt like he got ran over by the a wagon.

"Dude you look like crap, are you okay?" Came a voice right next to him. He looked over and saw it was his friend, Silvermist. He was dressed up in armor but had yet to put his helmet on. He had orange fur with a bright yellow mane. "I feel even worse, Hey what time is it." Nightwing asked.

"Its time for you to get moving. If you don't hurry you'll be late for role call and you know what happens if your late." With that said Silvermist grabbed his helmet and procceded to head outside. He got up and proceeded to get ready. He gave his mane and coat a quick brush, brushed his teeth then started putting on his armor. As he was putting it on, his thoughts went back to his dream he had. Why was I falling, I have wings so why didn't i fly? He thought back to the screaming pony and realized she looked familiar. Who was she? I know her somehow but why? He banished these thoughts and said to himself. "It was just a dream nothing else. It was probably from yesterdays supper." He still couldn't shaked the feeling that the dream was somehow importent.

He headed out side and lined up next to Silvermist. "Night, You made it in just the nick of time. One more minute and it would have been extra Physical training for you. Nightwing had managed to dodge what would have been a nightmarish punishment. When their Squad Captain finished calling the roll, they went out and did a five mile run. When they got back they were then assigned to thier duties. His consisted of patrolling Canterlot with Silver.

"Looks like we got a break, we patrolling together!" He said with excitement. They got the easiest job their was. Which was a good thing. Night didn't think he as up for anything else but an easy patrol. They started their patrol at the castle. While they walked they talked about trivial things like the weather or who was the strongest out of the two of them. Then Silver brought up the topic of the upcoming ball. "Its supposed to be the best ball yet. Right now i am trying to convince the Squad Captain to post us as guards there. It'll be the easiest job yet." Nightwing wanted to go to ball but he didn't have the money... or the mare to take with him. If Silver could get them stationed there he owe him alot. The ball this year was said to have a very special surprise as well.

"Well i hope you can convince him Silver i would like to go." He said to his friend. They kept walking and talking until they reached the train station. They turned around and started heading back, when Nightwing notcied something in his peripheral vision. It was a dark shape but when he turned to look at it it was gone. "You coming Night?" His friend called out at him.

"Yeah, comin." was his response. Nightwing knew that he saw something but what? Whatever it is it can't be good. He thought to himself. He kept an eye out for the figure as they walked back. He didn't see it again. When they finished the patrol they were told to do another five mile run. During the run Nightwing saw it again. It was the same as last time. It was a blur and it was just from his peripheral vision. "Hey Silver, did you see that." He asked.

"See what i don't see anything. Come on if we don't hurry were going to miss supper."

Nightwing finished the run wondering who was that strange figure he kept seeing, and what they were doing snooping around. He went and took shower. Now feeling more refreshed he headed down to dinner. He got his food and went to sit down. It was vegetable soup with a daisy sandwhich. He was about to eat when an excited Silver ran up to him nearly spilling his soup. "Night i have great news!"

"It had better be good if you were going to spill my soup over it." He said jokingly.

"Were going to be stationed at the ball!" He said barely containing his excitement.

"Really? Thats awesome. I can't wait, its tomorrow right?"

"Yeah and the best part we get to be stationed near the royal sisters." He said almost shouting.

"How the hell did you pull that off?!" He asked not believeing what he heard.

"Never doubt your friends Night." He said with a sly grin. They both tucked into their food. Night couldn't wait for the ball. He was so excited that he even forgot about the shadowy figure and his dream. He went to sleep that night peacefully.
