Rainbow was in a medow, all alone. She noticed she was a mare again, but that wasn't the only thing she noticed. About twenty feet away was a crib with a mobile above it and the mobile was spinning around and around playing a sound melody that made even her sleepy. She wandered over to the crib and dared a peek inside. A bundle of blankets was all she saw then it stirred and rolled over revealing a pair of shocking green eyes and a tiny mane of rainbow colors. It was her and Applejack's baby no doubt. The baby and Rainbow continued to stare at each other no saying anything. Then Rainbow had a sudden urge to hold the little foal and caress its soft, dark blue coat. Just as she was about to touch it, she heard Applejack behind her.
"Rainbow!" Applejack called, Rainbow turned away from the baby and looked towards Applejack who was running down and hill towards them both. "Don't touch it! It's bad, it's evil! Run away!" Applejack warned Rainbow. But Rainbow hear the baby behind her and knew she had to help it. As she turned, she noticed the crib had gone and the baby was now flying above her head. But the baby now looked anything but cute and cuddley, now it looked evil. It was now growing into a huge monster. With large bat-like wings, massive hooves and razor sharp teeth that glittened in the now misty moonlight. It looked something like a bat pony but it was the size of a full grown dragon. It let out a roar that sounded like thunder and threw Rainbow Dash backwards.
She rolled over a few times before getting to her hooves and trying to fly away. It was only then she realized her wings were gone. She began running up the hill where Applejack was waiting and calling to her beloved to hurry. Time slowed and it seemed no matter how hard or fast Rainbow ran, she could not get up that hill. It even felt like the hill was growing larger and she was going nowhere. Just as she felt the monster's nasty breathe on her back, a figure was suddenly siloquetted against the moon.
"Enough!" It roared back at the monster. Then when Rainbow blink her eyes, all was calm again.
There was no monster.
No Applejack calling her from afar.
Not even the same meddow.
It was suddenly just winged Rainbow Dash and Princess Luna. Face to face with no sign of danger anywhere.
"Princess Luna." Rainbow bent low in respect but aslo in grantitued.
"Rainbow Dash," Princess Luna bent her head in agknowlegement which was the sign for Rainbow to return to her full height. "You were having a nightmare."
"Yeah. Thank you for stopping it." Rainbow added as an after thought.
"You are welcome, but why were you having one about your baby, that you don't know you even have yet, turning into a gaint bat pony?" Luna inquired. Rainbow laughed at the question.
"I don't know, because I felt like it, perhaps?" Luna didn't looked amused so Rainbow tried again. "Maybe because this is happening so fast and I'm not ready for the responsibility of raising a whole other pony and I'm scared of what that pony will turn out to be?" She suggested. Luna nodded but then said.
"You won't be alone though. You have the love of your life at your side." Luna's horn glowed and an image of Applejack appeared in the sky on a cloud that just popped up out of nowhere. "Not to mention friends who love you and support you." Twilight and Fluttershy's images appeared. "And some of those friends are even having their own babies right now." Rarity, Pinkie and Spike's images appeared. "If you just give it time, you may find that you even love your baby." Luna finished. Rainbow smiled at the faces of support she saw in the sky and she turned back to Luna to thank her but Luna was gone, and in her place was a basket. Rainbow peered in and saw the same baby colt with green eyes, rainbow mane and tail, and dark blue coat. This time, Rainbow didn't have any hesitance in picking up the little pegasus and craddling him. The rest of the dream was spent with Rainbow being a mother to this dream baby.
And she knew everything was going to be okay...
Rainbow woke up as a mare again with Applejack sleeping next to her. Rainbow kissed her forehead affectionately which made her stir but she didn't wake. She only snuggled closer.
