Episode 104	Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?	Aired: July 11 2015
We find the Mane Six racing towards Princess Luna, whom are all in the castle as Luna brings out a mysterious dark blue entity called the Tantabus and is ready for it to do its worst. The Tantabus doesn't hesitate and turns Luna into Nightmare Moon once more as the Mane Six arrive. The Mane Six are ready and Rainbow Power themselves before taking aim at Nightmare Moon. The Tantabus departs to leave Nightmare Moon to be revert back to Luna and get hugged by the Mane Six. It was all just a dream but for Luna it isn't supposed to end badly. The next morning, the Mane Six are quite tired as they partake in a spa day for their pets. However things aren't going as planned as their lack of sleep prevents them from doing it right. Furthermore, they've all been having the same nightmare and need answers so Twilight asks Spike to send Luna a note and Luna is quick to respond and share news about the Tantabus. Rainbow Dash plays it as no big deal until she learns what could happen if the Tantabus grows enough in size. Luna decides to have the Mane Six sleep and will follow whichever of the ponies' dreams the Tantabus goes into but Celestia cannot help out due to her lack of expertise. As a bonus, Spike decides to try and help by staying up to watch over them and Pinkie Pie shows that not even her excitement can keep her awake. The group get to sleep and Luna attaches streams of magic to each of them and we find Rarity's dream to feature floating dresses but the Tantabus intervenes and the dresses eventually attack. Luna is one of the dresses and fights back but to no avail and must follow the Tantabus and leave Rarity alone to fight the vicious dresses. Pinkie Pie finds herself unable to hop without changing scenery and ends up in Sugar Cube Corner and eventually under attack by cakes. Once again, Luna tries to intervene against the Tantabus but fails, leaving Pinkie Pie to a delicious ending. Fluttershy's dream is off to a good start until the Tantabus infects the larger-than-normal Angel to make it a whole new beast. While Luna heads off and leaves Fluttershy to suffer more of evil Angel's wrath, Applejack is enjoying a giant apple until the Tantabus destroys the apple trees around her and the giant apple before Luna follows it inside. Once inside, we find Rainbow Dash in the midst of her favorite dream thus far until the Tantabus decides to flip the script and give Rainbow Dash an overly nice dream instead (which is probably still better than what the others have gone through). Meanwhile, Twilight is enjoying library time when the Tantabus infects her books until Luna finally fights back and encases the Tantabus in a crystal prison. As a result, the Mane Six awaken and learn that they're not safe from the Tantabus. In fact, Luna created it out of her own guilt (and should've told them that in the first place). While most of them didn't dream about another pony, Pinkie Pie's included all of Ponyville, allowing the Tantabus' antics to continue further. They decide to come up with a plan and Twilight seems to have the answer of making one dream for all of Ponyville. It's a task Luna has never done before but she's willing to try and after the Mane Six return to sleep, she begins the task. It's successful as things are out of the ordinary in town with giant meowing Derpy and a Catdog-eque Bon Bon and Lyra. Luna finds herself in trouble as the Tantabus has not only grown but is right on their heels. The Mane Six give chase as the Tantabus infects multiple houses, leaving their occupants unable to protect themselves. While the group fight back, Applejack reminds Big Macintosh that this dream is where anything is possible so Big Mac becomes a full Alacorn and flies out of danger. They don't know when the Tantabus will be big enough to escape but the Tantabus makes that easy for them until Twilight blocks its escape before Luna seals up the chasm. They need everyone's help to stop the Tantabus and since it's a dream, they can do anything so Spike becomes his buff superhero self and rides giant Derpy to defend against the Tantabus. Everyone conjures up their ideas to fight back but the Tantabus is proving to be too strong and Luna cannot hold out much longer, leaving her to take another guilt trip and increase the Tantabus' size. Luna created it to punish herself for what she did as Nightmare Moon and ensure she'd never forgive herself for doing so. It might be the key to stopping it as Luna just needs to stop feeling sorry for herself for what she did. As the Luna-shaped Tantabus enters the chasm it created, Luna finally realizes that she's no longer what she once was and merges with the Tantabus once it shrinks to her her size. The next morning, Twilight awakens and realizes Luna has stopped the Tantabus before explaining what happened. However, they  have to keep quiet as Luna is fast asleep and it's anyone's guess as to what her dreams are like now.
