Little Bear and Fluttershy were making a scarecrow for her garden. The scarecrow looked like the one from his garden. A blue jacket, hay inside, some hay wrapped in hay paper with a scary face for a head, and a hay hat on a stick. "How does he look, Fluttershy?", Little Bear asked.
"Very scary.", Fluttershy said.
Little Bear took a close look at his jacket. "Do you think he needs more hay in his jacket?", he asked.
"I think he's okay.", Fluttershy said. "All that hay we put in his head, that was Applejack's last giveaway of hay."
"He'll scare away any crow.", Little Bear said.
"I hope so.", Fluttershy said.
"Hey, Little Bear. Hey, Fluttershy.", Spike said as he approached his friends. He looked up and saw the scary face on the scarecrow. He screamed and hid behind a tree.
"Interesting.", Little Bear said. "I guess it works."
"But, that wasn't a crow, it was Spike.", Fluttershy said. "Oh poor dear, he must be scared to death."
Spike was hugging his legs, sitting behind a tree. Fluttershy and Little Bear approached him. "Spike, it's alright.", the yellow Pegasus said. "There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a scare crow."
Those words made Spike smile. "Yeah, I guess it is just a scarecrow.", he said. He was about to walk away from the tree, but Little Bear stopped him.
"Wait.", the bear yelped. "Don't move. Get behind the tree."
"What's going on, Little Bear?", Fluttershy asked.
"Lets watch some crows get near the scarecrow and see what happens.", Little Bear said, as he kept his eyes on the scarecrow.
Two crows flew by and landed on some soil in Fluttershy's garden. They looked up at the scarecrow, they squawked with fear and flew off. Little Bear was delighted. "It worked.", he cheered.
Fluttershy's tummy rumbled. "Well, I'm going in my cottage to have lunch. Watch the scarecrow and see if he did his job.", she said, flying into her house.
"Okay, Fluttershy.", Little Bear said.
"Hey, Little Bear. Hey, Spike.", Rarity said, approaching the two two-legged creatures. She looked at the scarecrow, she screamed and fainted back first on the ground.
Spike ran over to her and held her head in his arms. He patted her on the cheek to wake her up. "Rarity, are you okay?", he asked. "Say something."
Rarity opened her eyes and lifted her head up to look at the scarecrow once more. "Dear Sweet Celestia.", she said. "What is that?"
"It's a scarecrow.", Little Bear said.
Rarity glanced at all the details. "Oh my Celestia.", she said. "That thing is so frightening. I feel faint again." She dropped her head back down and shut her eyes.
"No. No. No. Rarity, don't fall back again. I don't want to wake you up again.", Spike panicked, shaking her head.
Rarity laughed. "Spike, I'm teasing.", she said, getting back up on her hooves. She walked over to the scarecrow. "Still, this is frightening. Do you make that?"
"It wasn't just me, Fluttershy too.", Little Bear said. "We just made that a few minutes ago."
"Rarity!", Applejack said, running over to the three friends. "Is everything okay? What's happening?"
The three creatures faced the orange earth pony. "Applejack, what are you doing here?", Rarity asked.
"Me and Apple Bloom were heading to the market to deliver apples and I heard screaming from here, so I came here.", Applejack said. "What happened?"
"It's nothing, Applejack.", Little Bear said. "It was only Fluttershy's scarecrow."
Applejack glanced at the scarecrow. "Huh.", she thought.
"What do you mean 'huh'?", Spike asked.
"I thought it was going to be worse.", Applejack said.
"Worse?", Spike asked. "Scarecrows are completely terrifying."
"I know.", Applejack said. "There were some times where they're worse than scarecrows. For Example, Fluttershy turned into Flutterbat, and Timberwolves chased me and Spike, and-"
"Applejack.", Rarity interrupted.
"What?", Applejack asked.
"You worry too much.", Rarity said.
Applejack didn't say anything, she turned her eyes back on the scarecrow. She scratched her chin with a hoof and thought about something. "Hey. Little Bear, you would make a great scarecrow.", he said. "What do you say we turn you into one?"
"Me become a scarecrow, are you sure?", Little Bear asked.
"Yes.", Applejack answered. "Think about all the crows you're going to scare away, Sugarcube. You'll the mightiest scarecrow."
"Okay.", Little Bear said.
"Alright, dress him, Rarity.", Applejack said.
Rarity winked to the farmer. She used her magic to pick up the hat and jacket and brought near Little Bear. Little Bear his arms through the sleeves of the jack and Rarity put the hat on his head.
"Shouldn't I need hay to make me look like an accurate scarecrow?", Little Bear asked.
"Oh yeah, definitely.", Spike said.
Rarity picked up the hay with her magic and stuffed some in the sleeves and put some under the hat. "Now you look like a great scarecrow.", she complimented.
"Thanks, Rarity.", Little Bear said.
Fluttershy opened her door and walked outside to see Little Bear dressed up like a scarecrow. She gasped, feeling amazed. "Oh my goodness.", she said, flying over to Little Bear. "Little Bear, look at you. You're a scarecrow."
"I do.", Little Bear said.
"Wait.", Fluttershy said. "Wasn't that material from the scarecrow we made earlier?"
"Yes.", Little Bear said. He didn't notice a crow landing on a tree branch near the garden.
"It was my idea to turn him into a scarecrow, so Rarity took everything from that scarecrow and put it on him.", Applejack said.
"Excuse me.", the crow called out, getting the group's attention. "What are you?"
"I'm a scarecrow bear.", Little Bear said, spreading his arms out and trying to look like a scarecrow.
"What?", the crow asked. "You don't look like a scarecrow."
"Well, I'm not, I'm a scarecrow bear.", Little Bear repeated.
The crow snickered. "That's a bit ridiculous.", he laughed.
"That's rude.", Rarity said. "Being a scarecrow bear is not ridiculous."
"I'm telling you those things don't exist.", the crow said.
"Whatever.", Spike said. "Anyways, the crow wants you to leave."
"Why?", the crow asked.
"Because, you're here to eat corn.", Little Bear said. "Right?"
"I'm not here for the corn.", the crow said. "I just saw you dressed up like a scarecrow, and I thought I would take a glance at you. Besides, I already ate my lunch. So, bye." The crow flew away.
"Well then.", Rarity said. "That was strange. He didn't get scared."
Little Bear hung his head and sighed. "Maybe, I'm not that great of a scarecrow.", he said.
"No, Little Bear, it's okay.", Little Bear said. "Even though you didn't scare that crow, we still think you're an amazing scarecrow."
"She's right, Sugarcube.", Applejack said. "We still like you being a scarecrow."
"Being a scarecrow bear is fabulous for you.", Rarity said.
"Yeah, you don't scare me with that look, but I think you're cool.", Spike said.
"Thanks, guys.", Little Bear said. "I wouldn't have feel better if I didn't have friends like you three. And even though I can't scare any crow doesn't mean I'm not an actual scarecrow."
