Every night Luna will always come by and takes Rimmer with her to see the stars. Rimmer enjoys it very much. One night as he and Luna were looking at the stars as they always have, Rimmer looks at her.
"Have you ever felt scared that you feel trap in?"
"Why thou ask, Rimmer?"
Rimmer looks up at the stars, "I was just curious. I mean you were Nightmare Moon once right?"
Luna sighs, "yes, but that was a long time ago and we don't like talking about it too much."
"Oh sorry, " said Rimmer as he looks down.
"That is alright Rimmer, no need to apologize to us."
Rimmer looks back up at Luna, "Princess Luna?"
Luna looks at Rimmer, "thou can call me Luna only, now that we are friends."
Rimmer smiles, "okay Luna, these past few weeks has been enjoyable. It's nearly been a month since father and I moved here in Ponyville. I love it really, though…" Rimmer's voice trilled off.
Luna knew something wasn't right, "thou alright?"
Rimmer looks up at Luna, "oh yeah I'm fine just tired."
Luna sighs, "Rimmer, we know there is something more that thou art hiding from us. Thou knows we'll here to listen."
"I know just tired (began to close his eyes) that's… all."
Luna nods as she places him on her back, "let's not waste any time now."
Once Luna put Rimmer to bed and she left the house. She sighs knowing that something is bothering Rimmer but don't know what. So she decides tonight she is going into Rimmer's dream to see what he's really dreaming of and what secrets he might be holding from her and possibly his father as well. Luna headed towards Canterlot to prepare for what she must do for Rimmer.
*Rimmer's Dream*
Rimmer found himself in the middle of the woods with the birds chirping and the cool of the evening breeze rush by his mane. Rimmer smiles as he happily jumps around seeing how much fun it was playing in the leaves.
He stops to see the river flowing ahead of him. He ran up to it as he looks at the reflection of himself in the water. He gave a smile as he spotted a small fish swimming by. Rimmer smiles as he went to touch the fish only to see it swim away. Rimmer only laughs playfully.
Just then he heard a soft whisper voice calling his name. Rimmer began to shake as he knew too well of the voice. Just then the scenery began to change from the quiet woods to a dark and cold winter breeze. Rimmer saw only snow up ahead of him. The wind began to get colder as he silver in the cold.
The same whisper voice called his name again. Rimmer looks around to see nothing but snowflakes blowing hard around him. Then some white visible lights appear around him. Rimmer could see red eyes glaring right at him as each one swirls around him hissing and kept repeating his name.
Rimmer tried his best to ignore the voices and what he was seeing but they began to grow louder and louder till he opens his eyes to see they were gone. Even the scenery had changed as well. This time it's not snowing at all. This time it's a hot desert with no water at all only dead bones lying around and the hot sun beaming down on the hot desert sand.
Rimmer stood scared to even move an inch. He knew too well of his dreams. He knew that this was no ordinary nightmare. This was the nightmare of his worst terror of his nightmare ghosts ponies.
Every night he sees them and wishes that these ghosts would leave him alone. Yet, they keep on haunting him and would not let up till morning breaks. Why is he having these dreams? If only he would know the real reason for these dreams to happen.
Soon a male's voice was heard from behind Rimmer, "Rimmer, you and I know very well of what lies those ponies shed. You make friends and yet they will turn on you just like before."
Rimmer closes his eyes, "but these ponies are different. I know they won't let me down. Even Luna won't let me down."
"Ha, the Princess of the Night? Don't make me laugh Rimmer! She'd won't want to be friends with you. Besides, she was evil once and she can be evil again."
Rimmer sees a dark figure appearing before him that is shaped as a unicorn only with red eyes.
The shadow spoke, "you do know that I'm your only friend who will never turn away from you ever."
Rimmer looks down as tears began to stream down his face.
"You know this is very true Rimmer. I maybe the only chance to help you now."
Rimmer didn't know what to say as he stood there with tears streaming down his face. Just as Rimmer was about to speak that's when he heard Luna's voice.
"Rimmer, do not listen! He is trying to draw thou to wicked ways!"
The shadow growls as Rimmer turn to see Luna running towards him. Rimmer smiles as he ran to her and wrap himself around Luna's leg.
"How did you get in my dream?"
Luna answer, "we can go in any ponies dreams. We saw how sad thou were and came as fast as we can to help. We see that thou has awful nightmares now."
She turns to the shadow, "How did thou come into his nightmare, Sombra?!"
Rimmer looks up at Luna, "how did you know it was King Sombra?"
"Let just say we do not get along with him."
Sombra laughs, "oh Luna, how convenient of you to join us. I didn't expect you this soon. I guess you really do care for this little one. Yet, you can not stop his worst nightmares now can you…"
Luna looks at Sombra, "what thou are…"
Before she could finish soon white ghost ponies began to swirl around her and Rimmer. Just then she felt few ghosts grab hold of her and began to drag her into the ground.
Rimmer cry in horror, "Luna!"
Luna yells out before she was forced to the ground with the ghosts, "Rimmer, thou must remember that whatever is thou worst fear, thou must overcome that fear! Do not let Sombra win or overtake thou mind!"
Sombra looks right at Rimmer with a smile, "now I'm so sorry for that interruption as I said before you only have me and that is the only thing you shall…"
Rimmer closes his eyes as he interrupts, "no."
"No? What do you mean no?"
Rimmer opens his eyes as he looks sternly and bravery up at Sombra, "Luna is right! I have to overcome my fears! You were never my friend only trying to make me do as you have done in the past! I'm not going to be that kind of pony ever! I want to be the kind of pony who would stand up what is right!"
Sombra huffs in anger, "how are you going to do that?"
Rimmer smiles, "my friends will be there for me. My real friends."
Sombra laughs, "oh so you think your friends will help?"
"Yes, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo they stood up when I was being bullied. They wanted to be friends with me. Luna, well she wouldn't have come into my dream if she wasn't my friend. She'd also the only one who would come out to look at the stars with me."
"Enough!"
Rimmer jumps as Sombra look at him deadly cold, "you think you can overpower me. Well, I give you a chance Rimmer but you refuse my friendship so I suppose now I must finish you off."
Sombra headed towards Rimmer as Rimmer closes his eyes. He didn't feel anything but heard a loud crash ahead of him.
Rimmer opens his eyes to see Luna standing right in front of him as she protectively stood there ready to attack Sombra.
Rimmer smiles wide, "Luna!"
Luna turns to Rimmer and asks, "Rimmer, thou art safe?"
Rimmer nods, "I am now!"
Luna smiles yet she heard Sombra's groaning as he stood to face Luna after she blasted him with her magic. Luna turns quickly towards Sombra.
"Stay close," said Luna as she prepares for another attack.
Sombra chuckle, "let's see how strong you can really be Princess Luna."
Luna nods, "same to thou as well, King Sombra."
AN: Okay something I want you all to know. Before I started this story I got the idea from a music by Peter Crowley Fantasy Dream call Ghosts Of Our Nightmare. I listen to it and thought this story would fit perfectly into that music. When Rimmer began to have his dream and of course to the end which will be in the next chapter. So yup, now you know where I got the idea to do this idea story.
