“Somepony please help me!” I shout as I try to keep my balance on the rock that is currently saving me from being eaten by the pack of ravenous timber wolves that currently surrounded me, hiding in the darkness of the night.
“Alright, I should be fine, unless they start to climb on top of each other to get to me.” I say to myself as quietly as possible, hoping that the wolves hadn’t heard me. As luck would have it, they did. The wolves had started to snarl amounts themselves, and the one that had started the “discussion” had climbed on the back of another. My eyes went wide, and my mouth hung loosely, as I watched the wolves slowly, but surely, climb on top of each other, creating a staircase that led straight towards me. At this point, I was panicking. The wolves would get me if I jumped off the rock, they would get me if i stayed on the rock, and if I try to buck one of them, I wouldn’t even scratch their wooden exoskeleton. At that moment, I decided to start praying
“Dear Celestia, if I safely get away from these timber wolves, I will do my best to behave, and not accept stupid dares to do things like this in the middle of the night. Your loyal and terrified subject -Scootaloo.”
While she is praying, the timberwolf staircase is completed, leaving the last timber wolf, the one who had the idea for the staircase, has started to climb up towards the young mare. Scootaloo hears the sound of creaking wood, and opens her eyes to see the timberwolf slowly walking towards her. She believes that she is done for, until she hears laughter, and ...music, coming from somewhere to her right.”
“Ahuhuhuh, I spy with my little eyes, something green, brown, and soon to be broken.”
Scootaloo looks back at the timberwolves and sees that the one that had been walking towards her is shaking, while slowly backing away from her, looking this way and that. Then, she hears the voice again, this time coming from her left.
“Ahuhuhuhuh, it seems that the little pup is afraid of spiders. Too bad for him!”
Suddenly, something purple comes flying out of a bush, covering all of the timberwolves, except for the one that had been backing off of the staircase. Then, she hears the voice one last time, this time coming from right above her.
“Ahuhuhuh, it looks like I get to have some fun tonight!”
Then, she spots it. There is a large equine looking spider wearing a blouse with a bow, and has two pigtails, hanging from some more of the purple webbing that was covering the timberwolf staircase. Upon further inspection, Scootaloo notices that the spider also has six arms, and five eyes, all of which are glowing red. The spider rapidly descends from its perch, before landing right in front of her.
“Don’t worry dearie, I’m not going to harm you, but those wolves on the other hand, they are in quite a bit of… trouble.” The spider says, turning her head towards Scootaloo, before looking back at the wolves that have been ensnared in her webbing. She jumps down from the rock, landing right in front of the wolf closest to the base of the rock. She then pulls all of her arms back, and starts throwing punches like it’s noponies business. Each arm throws a punch one after another, timing perfectly so that she has one arm ready to hit a wolf. She shreds straight through each wolf, all of whom are struggling to escape the purple web to try and avoid the fate that had been given to the rest of the members of their pack. No matter how hard they struggle though, the wolves cannot escape their fate.
The spider was just finishing off the last wolf though, when the timberwolf that had managed to get off of the staircase, leaps at her when her back was turned. I tried to warn her, but before i even had the chance to speak, the spider had the wolf pinned to the ground by its neck, before punching a hole straight through its head. The spider brushes off the wood dust that had gotten on her, and started to walk towards me, but by the time she had finished cleaning herself off, I was already standing next to her, thanking her for saving me
“Thank you so much, I wouldn’t have made it if you hadn’t shown up then!”
“It was no problem dearie, but you shouldn’t go out into a forest like this at nighttime, you have no idea what might be out here.”
“Okay, I promise that I won’t, but I’m kinda glad that I did. You were so awesome! You were all like, pow, and wham, and kablooie! You’re almost as cool as Rainbow Dash!”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah!”
“Well then, how about we get you out of this forest, and then you can tell this Rainbow Dash all about your little adventure.”
“Okay, miss...uh what’s your name?”
“I am Miss Muffet, but please, call me Muffet. What is your name little one?”
“I’m Scootaloo!”
“That is a very nice name you have there Scootaloo.”
“Thank you Miss Muffet!”
Scootaloo is beaming at how nice Muffet is, and how she doesn’t treat her like a kid. Meanwhile, Muffet is just as happy, due to the fact that she was able to help the humanoid filly. While they are enjoying the moment though, a bloodcurdling howl is heard throughout the forest. At this Scootaloo lets out a small yelp, while Muffet puts on a look of grim Determination.
“We should get moving, we don’t want the wolves to find us again.” Muffet says to the filly who nods in understanding.
“But where are we going to go to? We’re lost. How are we going to be able to figure out how to get out of here.”
“Dearie, have you forgotten so soon? I’m a spider.”
Muffet says with a grin of amusement as an idea pops into her head.
