Sweetie Belle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Victim 1 : Sweetie Belle Sweetie Belle had always been the gaming type of pony out of her family and friends, and she had played many games, but tonight, it was Nightmare Night, and Princess Luna wanted to play a prank on every pony in Ponyville in their dreams. Instead of peaceful, happy, dreams, for today only, she will bring them nightmares. “Tia, could we play a prank on your royal citizens for tonight?” Princess Luna asked her sister, who is busy with her royal duties. “It has been a thousand years ever since we had fun with what you called ‘pranks,’ that requires a pony in order to play.” “Just for tonight, Luna. But for tomorrow, it's back to normal dreams.” Princess Celestia sighed. Princess Luna nodded, and she walked out to the balcony, and there laid a Crystal ball, where she could see every pony who is asleep, and one of the pony have caught her eyes. “This one, she seem like a nice victim.” She whispered. ***** Sweetie Belle was going to bed, she was getting ready, and she lit up her little vanilla scented candles. She switched off the lights, and off she went to her bed. “Goodnight Rarity.” She said softly, but she knew her sister could not hear her, because she is upstairs sleeping. Sweetie Belle closed her eyes, and she begin to sleep. In her dream, she found herself in a dark endless void. “Where am I?” Her voice echoed throughout the void. Nopony to be seen, nothing to be heard. “Hello?” She spoke out, but her voice seem to fade. “Is anypony there?!” She screamed, but all that came out, was nothing. The void fade away, and there came a background, it was her room. “My room, am I dreaming?” She spoke to herself, but apparently, nothing came out of her mouth. She walked around and touched everything in her room, it was touchable, yet cold. “Why is all my furniture freezing cold?” She thought to herself as she felt her bed. She opened the door, and there was a hallway. A dark, scary hallway. She walked down the hallways, and she whimpered a bit. “I don't remember having these hallways...” She whispered. She kept walking down the hallways, and she saw a light at the end. She ran towards the light, but she can't seem to get to it. Each time she tried to run, the further the light goes. She stopped, and she heard some whispering noises. “Sweetie Belle....” It said. Her ears twitched as the voices sounded like it was just beside her. “Oh, Sweetie Belle.” “We're going to be best of friends!” Another voice whispered. Sweetie Belle turned around, and saw a white ghastly figure floating around and going in and out of walls. “Don't be afraid... We're not going to HURT you.” The ghostly figure changed into a pony, a white skinned, long maned pony, with blood and scares all over her body. “Ahhhhhhh!” Sweetie Belle shrieked as she tried to run. “Nopony can hear you, Sweetie Belle. It's just you and me. We'll be together...” “FOREVER” The last word echoed the hallways, and the figure faded away, and evil giggles were heard. “Who are you, and what do you want from me?!” Sweetie Belle asked in terror and fear. The ghostly figure flew in and out of Sweetie Belle's body, giving a slight shiver. “We want your soul.” The ghostly figure said evilly. Sweetie Belle backed away from the figure, and begin running, but she hit the wall instead. It seems like the walls are closing in, and it is. Sweetie Belle shrieked, but nothing came out from her mouth. It's like she's a mute. “There is nothing you can do, and nopony is here to save you.” The ghostly figure giggled. “No, please, I don't want to die!” She begged in her thoughts. The walls closed in, until Sweetie Belle felt squeezed, and then she thought “this is it? Is this how my life is going to end? In a tight box? I guess it's better than being old...” She closed her eyes, waiting for the pressure to squeeze her blood out. But, instead she found herself in Ponyville. With her friends and all other ponies. “Huh?” “Hey, Sweetie Belle. Where have ya been?” Applebloom asked, walking towards Sweetie Belle. “Wanna play catch with us?” Scootaloo passed a ball to Sweetie Belle, and Sweetie Belle's horn popped the ball by accident. Scootaloo's eyes widened, and Applebloom looked at Sweetie Belle with her eyes red. “I-I'm sorry... It was an accident!” Sweetie Belle said in terror, backing out from her friends. Applebloom's eyes turned red, and her ribbon came alive with sharp teeth, and Scootaloo's wings became razor sharp, with her teeth sharpen like vampire teeth. Applebloom came forward to Sweetie Belle, “What do you think is better, Scoots? Fried Belle, or Cooked Sweetie?” “How about Fried Cooked Sweetie Belle instead?” Scootaloo suggested, licking her lips. “Good enough for me.” Applebloom grinned, and took out a knife. “P-p-please, don't hurt me!” Sweetie Belle closed her eyes, and she awaits for the knife to stab her, but instead, she woke up. She found herself in her bedroom, with her candles lit up, and she quickly jumped out of bed slapped herself to make sure she was awake, and switched on the lights. “T-that was a horrible dream!” Sweetie Belle said with fear, and her eyes extremely wide. “I don't think I will ever sleep again after that experience. And play any video games at all!” Sweetie Belle walked downstairs and made a cup of coffee, “Dad said that this thing will keep you awake for a couple of hours, might as well drink it and not sleep!” Sweetie Belle drank the coffee, and she spitted it out. “Ewwwww!!!! Yuck!” She dropped the cup on the ground and rubbed her hooves on her tongue, taking the taste off her tongue. “What is so special with the coffee thing anyways?!” ***** Princess Luna smiled at the sight of her first victim's scare. “Huzzah! The first victim hath been scared!” She cheered with joy. “Now, let us see if we could find another better victim...” She looked into the crystal ball, and was surprised with who she found. “This one is not easily scared, but we think we can fix it.” > 2. Rainbow Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Victim 2 : Rainbow Dash “Let us see what really scares her the most...” Princess Luna whispered evilly as she send her nightmares into Rainbow Dash's dream. ***** “Ahh! Finally, I can have a good night sleep!” Rainbow Dash fell onto her cloudy bed, “Today's cloud busting was harder than ever, but I think I did a pretty great job.” Rainbow Dash turned off the lights, and cuddled herself onto her bed, “Maybe I will get that same dream of me and the Wonderbolts today again.” Rainbow Dash thought as she closed her eyes and fell asleep. She found herself standing on a storm cloud, and she seem to be making a show. “What is this?” She questioned herself. “Why am I standing on a storm cloud? And why is every pony cheering for me?” She tilted her head in confusion. “Hey, Rainbow, whatever your name is, remember our routine?” Spitfire called out. Rainbow Dash looked over at Spitfire, “What routine?” “The routine that we have been practicing for weeks. Don't tell me you have forgotten about it already! If you mess this up, you know what's coming to you.” Spitfire said furiously. Rainbow Dash gulped, “What routine? I don't remember me doing a routine with the Wonderbolts. If I mess this up, I will regret it, big time.” She thought. She took a huge breathe and looked down at the cloud that she's standing on. “What am I actually going to do on this cloud? Make it rain?” She questioned herself in her thought. “I guess it's worth a shot.” She said out loud, and jumped on the cloud several times until water became spurting out and hitting Rainbow Dash's face directly. “Arghhhh! What the hay?!” She yelled. Every pony booed at her routine, and Spitfire sat there, disappointed. Rainbow Dash fell off the cloud, and she was falling off, she looked at Spitfire, who is very disappointed at her, and she faced towards the crowd and every pony was booing. Rainbow Dash felt ashamed, and she wanted to fly back up to apologize. She opened her wings, but her wings closed back up. “H-hey!” She tried to open her wings, but it wouldn't budge. She screamed for help, but nopony helped her, and she fell into a black endless void. “Come on now, wings. Please don't fail me now!” She opened her wings, and she flapped and flapped, but everything seem to be closing on her, and she tried to flap harder and fly faster, but it wouldn't work. She kept falling behind. “No! This can't be happening!” She yelled. She stopped trying, and she gave up. “What's going to happen to me now?” She questioned. “Maybe you can find out yourself.” A familiar voice called out. Rainbow Dash turned around to see who is there, it seems to be Lightning Dust. “What are you doing here?!” “Oh, you know, chilling.” Lightning Dust replied. Rainbow Dash knew that wasn't the real answer, but she went with it anyways. “Do you know where am I?” She asked politely. Lightning Dust nodded her head, and she looked at Rainbow Dash, but this time, her eyes were red. “Follow me to find out.” She grinned deviously. Rainbow Dash took a step back, and begin to fly, but then she fell down on the ground. “What?! Wh-what happened?” She looked at her back, and she found no wings. “What did you do?!” “Oh, you're looking for these?” Lightning Dust took out a plastic with two cyan colored wings with blood on it. “I didn't think you need it, so I chopped it off with this knife.” Lightning Dust showed a knife with a slight blood on it. “You monster! Give me those back!” Rainbow Dash ran towards Lightning Dust, and tried to snatch the plastic back, but failed to each time she try. “Stop trying! No matter how hard you try, you will not be able to get them! You will forever be a useless, earth pony Rainbow Dash!” Lightning Dust yelled, and flew away, throwing the plastic into a white light, and disappeared. Rainbow Dash stood there silently, in the black endless void. “Is it true that I am a useless earth pony?” She questioned herself. She thought about what she was saying, and stood up bravely, “No! I'm Rainbow Dash, and I never get scared!” Suddenly, a thousand of ghostly figures came around and flew in and out of Rainbow Dash's body. “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! GHOOOSSTTT!!!” Rainbow Dash yelled in terror, and woke up from her nightmare. Her eyes was so wide, that it can't get anymore wider. She kept silence, her hair stood up at the end. “Brrr.... Ghost... Creepy... Ghost.....” She said softly, twitching as she said each word. “And Lightning Dust... She... She... She's evil...” ***** Princess Luna was having the time of her life, she was laughing at the reaction of Rainbow Dash when a thousand of ghost flew in and out of her body. “The face of that multi colored mane pony is absolute priceless! The Princess is mostly entertained!” Princess Luna cheered with joy. “Let us see who shall be our third victim!” The crystal ball's image went blurry, and it showed another pony. “Oh! We do remember this pony from her problems with nightmares the last time. Let us see if she could face her fears this time.” Princess Luna grinned.
