I just want to say thank you to for making me get up and finally write this chapter.

I don't own My little pony please don't sue.

Flyer woke to the sound of marching outside her window. 7 o'clock march nothing odd there. She pushed back her red covers and literally flew downstairs. Her mother, LightHeart a middle aged light grey bat pony with short brushed purple mane and tail, she was making herself a cup of tea as per usual. Flyer skidded into the kitchen and plonked herself on a chair next to the wooden table.

LightHeart turned around and said "well you look cheerful." She sat down in the opposite chair. "No nightmare?" She took a sip of her tea then must have gotten distracted by something on Flyers chair. "Oh yes! Best night sleep ever! No pirates or monsters or murderers or changelings or bullies or zombies or any…mum?"

"Look at your rump" LightHeart said.

"What?! That's a bit odd!"

"Flyer", LightHeart said getting a bit annoyed "look at your rump!"

Flyer finally gave up and glanced down then back at her mother, "see no-wait a minute!" she quickly snapped her head back down and saw upon her rump…a cutie mark. It was a shield that was slightly blue in shade with a moon surrounded by a few stars but most oddly, there were two slightly transparent bat wings. "What does it mean?"

"Well…the shield is that you will follow your father and join the guard but just not Celestrias guard. The moon was Luna's symbol."

"I'm going to be evil" tears began forming in the young fillies eyes.

"What? No Flyer. Look at the stars, see how they shine? This means that Luna's subjects are happy! But I'm not sure about the wings…they seem almost dreamlike."

"Dreams! I had such an odd dream last night. I dreamt that daddy came home-"

"Well that's nice"

"No, cos he brought back the changelings with him and they-they were going to hurt me but they stopped when I said stop. And I got up and said 'go' and they all disappeared and I was left in white all on my own. Then I got scared and cried about being alone, that's when I met her! She said, you're not alone you've got me. Then she say down next to me and held out her hoof. 'Hi my name is Glider.' She looked like me, a bat pony with shot yellow hair getting longer at the front with purple highlights but instead of amber eyes she had blue ones."

LightHeart just looked confused" you mean to say you could control your dream?"

"No-but Glider said she would teach me and I wouldn't be scared anymore."

"You remember Uncle Hoofrald? Well, his mother, my step mum, had a rare ability where they could do what you do, control dream that is; her name was Dream Flyer, died awful young poor thing. But she said it was a gift that only we bat ponies can do as we are the only ones that are Intune enough with the night. But enough chin wagging, you've got to get to school!" she pushed the filly out of the front door and waved to her as she started off down the street.

"Dream flying? What's that? Rare ability? Oh I don't know. I'll…ill just ask mum when I get back from school. UGH! School! Calm Flyer you need to make a good impression, don't want to be bullied like last time" she reached the grey army school and was greeted by a matching grey unicorn.

"You're the newbie?"

"Yes mam!" she answered remembering to use the polite term.

"Name?"

She paused then answered "Dream Flyer."
