Applejack yawned as she stumbled back into her home, her legs and sides aching with every movement. Nightmare Night or no Nightmare Night, it was autumn, and that meant one of the largest harvests of the year. She had been working around the clock with Big Macintosh whilst everypony else had been out having fun. It wasn't fair, in Applejack's opinion, but right now, she just wanted to make herself some food and go to sleep.
She trudged through the living room over to the kitchen, completely oblivious to the out of place box that sat in the centre of the room, silent as the grave.
Applejack scanned the kitchen for some easy food, but the best she could find was a packet of cereal. She began lazily pouring the contents of the box and some milk into a bowl before chomping down on the crunchy food.
In the meanwhile, the large box , made of heavy mahogany and iron, slid slowly across the carpet, the textile floor brushing against the hard wood of the trunk. It's lid opened slightly as it got closer and closer to Applejack, like the jaws of a venus fly trap waiting for it's prey.
Applejack slurped the rest of her snack down and let the bowl clatter into the sink. She'd clean it up the next day: right now she had to go and face the stairs.
The box was mere inches away from Applejack, the hinges clattering as it crawled towards Applejack's tail. It brushed against her golden hair gently, just enough for Applejack to notice. The farmpony glanced around, and faced the mysterious chest. She leaned in, puzzled.
"I ain't never seen this box before..."
Suddenly, it's lid opened up and snapped Applejack up with a horrifying:
"Rawr!"
The lid snapped shut, trapping Applejack inside the box. Surprisingly, it wasn't as hard as she'd have expected... in fact, the inside of the box was rather soft. Too soft...
Rainbow Dash cackled as her plan came to fruition. "Ha! Bet... bet you didn't see that one coming, huh? Haunted box on legs... You should have seen yourā"
Applejack yawned again. "That's nice, sugarcube. I'll just close my eyes a second now..."
Rainbow Dash frowned. This wasn't how scaring ponies was supposed to go.
"Eh? Applejack? Hey, AJ?"
Applejack answered her back by snoring loudly.
"You awake?"
Rainbow realized that it was now she who was trapped underneath Applejack's sleeping form, used as a cushion by the sleeping earth pony. Rainbow shrugged.
"Meh. I'm pretty comfy too."

Lol
I'd love to see what happens when they wake up.
And then the box locked from the outside, slowly depriving the two of air over night. They wouldn't wake up. See? Anything can turn into a grim dark if you try hard enough.
Really thou, this was adorable and I'd love to see how they actually reacted upon waking.
XDDDDD
