The reflection of the moon shines in the mirror in Little Bear's room. The curtains of the window flow as the wind blows. The main seven was having a sleep over in the castle, the seven girls sleep in one room with Little Bear and Spike. Spike sleeps in his room and Little Bear sleeps in his room. Twilight was putting Little Bear to bed. "Good night, Little Bear.", she said.

"Good night, Twilight.", Little Bear said.

Twilight blew out the candle in, nothing but moonlight shining in the room. "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.", she said.

Before Little Bear closed his eyes and went to sleep, he widen them. "Bed bugs?", he asked. He's never heard of bed bugs before.

"It's just a saying, Little Bear.", Twilight said, closing the door and leaving Little Bear alone in his room.

Little Bear went to sleep, but only a short amount of time. He was concerned about bed bugs. "Bed bugs.", he thought. He went completely under the covers of his bed and started growling like an actual bear. 

"Bed bugs, better not bite me.", he scowled.

He continued moving around under his covers and growling. Then, he got out of bed and entered the hallway of the castle with his blanket wrapped around his body. "Bed bugs.", he said. He entered the main seven's room and unwrapped the blanket from his body. He went over to the lower part of Fluttershy's bed, and crawled into the covers of the bed. Then, he crawled to the very top, surprising the snoozing yellow pony.

Twilight woke up as well.

"Little Bear, what are you doing here?", Fluttershy asked.

"I think there are bed bugs in my bed.", Little Bear said.

"Little Bear, didn't I tell you it was a saying?", Twilight asked.

"Seriously, Twilight, bed bugs everywhere.", Little Bear said.

"Ok, I get it.", Twilight said.

The other four girls, except Rainbow Dash woke up. "What's going on?", Starlight asked.

"Why do I all of a sudden hear talking?", Rarity asked.

"Sorry I woke you up, girls, I think there's bugs in my bed.", Little Bear said.

"Bugs?", Pinkie Pie asked.

"Aren't bed bugs non-existent?", Applejack asked.

"I don't know.", Little Bear said. They all looked at Rainbow Dash. Little Bear went onto the rainbow pony's bed and stared at her mouth. "I think Rainbow Dash swallowed a bed bug.", he said. He snuck his fingers into Dash's mouth, but the snoozing pony shook her head.

The group giggled quietly. "She's can't escape those bed bugs, can she?", Rarity asked.

Rainbow Dash woke up. "Bugs?", she asked. "Where? What bugs?"

"Bed bugs in the bed, Rainbow Dash.", Little Bear said. "Don't let them bite."

"Where? Where?", Rainbow Dash asked. She and Little Bear went under the covers. Rainbow Dash hit every spot with her hoof.

Little Bear looked up at the bottom of the blanket. "Here's another one.", he said.

"Here's one.", Rainbow Dash said. But, it wasn't a bed bug, it was Little Bear who has been softly hit in the belly by Rainbow Dash's hoof. 

"Hey, I'm not a bed bug.", Little Bear said. 

Rainbow Dash laughed. "You look like a bed bug to me.", she said.

Little Bear growled playfully and pounced on Rainbow Dash. The girls didn't see what the two were doing, because they were completely under the covers, they could laughing from Rainbow Dash, but not Little Bear. The covers fell off the bed and it revealed Little Bear tickling Rainbow Dash's belly. "I am a bed bug.", he said, growling playfully.

Rainbow Dash continued laughing at Little Bear's act. "Bed bug bites feel more like tickles.", she said.

"Because we only have little teeth.", Little Bear said, still growling. He continued the growling as he crawled over behind Twilight and tickled her back.

Twilight laughed as the claws went all over her back. "Wait, listen.", she said softly.

Little Bear stopped to listen, there was nothing but silence. "Do you hear that?", Twilight asked.

"What?", Little Bear asked. 

"Some bed bugs are very sneaky, they sneak up on you and...", Twilight started, pausing her sentence.

Little Bear was looking behind the pillows. He turned around, seeing Twilight growling and pouncing on him. He squealed and laughed as Twilight hooves dug into his belly. "Now I'm a bed bug.", she said, playfully.

"Here's more.", Applejack said. The other girls went toward Little Bear.

"Sneaky bed bugs.", Little Bear said, as the whole group of girls tickled him. He laughed hysterically. Then, he took hold of Rainbow Dash's pillow and escaped their wrath of tickling.

"Hey.", Rainbow Dash said.

"What are you doing?", Rarity asked.

"Isn't that Rainbow's pillow?", Applejack asked.

Little Bear got up on his feet and used his pillow as a shield. "Bed bugs love to have pillow fights.", he said, looking tough.

Rainbow Dash and Starlight looked at each other, then Rainbow Dash gave a smirk. Starlight gave Rainbow Dash her pillow. "That's true.", the Pegasus said as she held up a pillow.

Little Bear ran over to Rainbow Dash bumped her with his pillow. "Rainbow Dash overboard. Whoa.", she said, falling off the bed and onto the spot where the blanket fell.

Little Bear walked over to the edge of the bed, preparing to jump off with his pillow. "Bed bug overboard. Whoa.", he said, jumping off. He landed on Rainbow Dash, pillow first, the wrestled on the blanket with their pillows. "Oh, got ya.", she said, hitting Little Bear's pillow with her's.

"Alright, are you two bed bugs tired yet?", Starlight asked.

Little Bear yawned. "Yeah.", he said. "I think so."

Rainbow Dash yawned as well. "Me too.", she said.

Little Bear and the seven girls fixed Rainbow Dash's bed and put the bed material back to where it belongs. "Are there still bed bugs under the pillows?", Pinkie asked.

Little Bear checked under the pillows. "Nope.", he said. "Fluttershy, can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Um, of course you can, Little Bear.", Fluttershy said, blushing. "I'd love to cuddle with you." She and Little Bear comfortable in the bed. The rest got comfortable as well.

"I guess we're all just snug as a group of bugs in a rug.", Twilight remarked.

"Bugs in a rug?", Little Bear asked. "What kind of bugs?"

Twilight laughed. "It's just a saying, Little Bear.", she said.

The group went back to sleep. But, Little Bear woke back up as he heard snoring from Rainbow Dash, snoring that sounded like an actual horse. He got out of Fluttershy's bed, grabbed his blanket that he left, lying on the ground, and left the room and back to his room. Little Bear has now learned a lesson, bed bugs were never real.
