Spiders and Destiny: A New Beginning

Chapter 10 Dance Off!

Midnight hangs in his resting area made of webbing and with an umbrella, not with a care in the world. He got his first kiss, he made sure that Twilight becomes princess of the Fall Formal, what could possibly go wrong? Well, when that buzzing noise in his head goes off but he didn’t react in time and he gets a bag put over his head and gets knocked out. When he wakes up, the bag is off of his head and he doesn’t know where he’s at. He looks to his left and right to see Snips and Snails. He struggles to get out of the chair he was in at the moment but couldn’t.

“What is this about?! If you’re planning on killing me, it won’t work just by kidnapping me, you know” Midnight said.

A mysterious person shows up from the shadows to reveal...Sunset Shimmer!

“Does she know”? Sunset asked Midnight.

“Know what”? Midnight questioned.

“Good. She does know, and did she tell you”?

“Yeah, that she’s not the Twilight that I know. She’s another Twilight from a different world. So what”?

“Good. Close to the best. I like that. I got a few secrets of my own. Of all the reason I didn’t want her to get my crown. Midnight, nothing is more important than power. You saved my Fall Formal dance all on your own. And I could never forget something like that. So I’m gonna give you one chance. Are you ready? Snips and Snails will let you go, bring you back to the school, you walk through those doors and you forget that any of this ever happened. And don’t you ever….EVER…..interfere with my plans, again. Because if you do, I’ll kill you...and everybody you love. I’ll kill you, dead. That’s what I’ll do to protect my crown, Midnight. You understand”?

“.................yes”.

“Hey, I just saved your life. Now what do you say”?

“.....Th-thank you”.

“You’re welcome. Now, you go in there and you show Twilight a good time. Okay? Just not too good. Snips! Snails! Bring him back”.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Midnight wakes up back on the roof of the school with him in a really nice suit. He felt a huge bruise on his head. He had time to think about what just happened. What was he gonna do? If he interfered with Sunset’s plans one more time, she’ll kill him and everyone he loved. He needs to make a choice. Will he stop Sunset Shimmer and bring her to justice, or will he leave her alone and move on with his life?

Midnight sighs and says asks himself “What do I do”? before looking down to see that the girls have arrived.

Midnight jumps down in front of them with himself trying to forge a confident smile on his face while he opens the door for them. Twilight and Midnight blush when they laid eyes on each other as they went inside.

“You know, you’re a little wet from the rain, right” Rainbow Dash pointed out.

“Yeah...uh….long story. Let’s go inside, dry off and have some fun” Midnight replied.

The group went inside and began to have fun in the Fall Formal...well, except for Midnight. Twilight looked at Midnight with that depressed look on his face and she can tell right away that something was up.

“Hey, Midnight, what’s up? Is something wrong”? Twilight asked Midnight.

“I-it’s nothing, Twilight. Just had a big night” Midnight tried to shrug off.

“Was it because of that kiss”?

“NO! No. It’s fine. I...it’s nothing”.

“Okay….if you say so”.

“Hey, you go on ahead, girls. I’ll catch up with you in a minute”.

Midnight heads to a corner of the stage, on a net-bed made of webbing with a depressed look on his face, still. Rainbow Dash finds him on the ceiling and shouts at him “Hey Midnight, come down here. You should be having some fun” before Midnight told her no.

“What’s wrong, Midnight? Afraid that I might be a better dancer than you”? Rainbow Dash said.

“Say what?! Y-you-wh-oooooh you’re on”! Midnight said, getting down and with a triggered look on his face.

Midnight grabs something from his backpack and spins around to shine and appear in different clothes (just like the classic Wonder Woman). More like Michael Jackson clothes. He even had the glove, the hat and everything. First song plays and it was Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” and Rainbow Dash starts this dance off. But...problem is that….Midnight can’t dance. Midnight watches as Rainbow Dash was doing that epic lean from what MJ did in Smooth Criminal. Midnight started to shake in his boots. All of a sudden, he felt a sudden groove in his body. With every single body, it felt like he knew what to do and and every move to perform. So he starts to dance along to the rhythm, along with the buzzing noise in his head helping him out by being careful and not bumping into people. At the end, Midnight finished it by doing the famous moonwalk and saying “HE-HEEE” before ending in a pose that even Michael Jackson would be proud of.

Music ends and Midnight spins, shines, and appears in rap clothes and Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” starts playing. Midnight had sunglasses, cap turned backwards and everything. He started to beatbox and then he began to break-dance, finishing his break-dance with him on his head and him pointing at Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash puts a cap on her head and turns it around, backwards and she starts to break-dance as well. She end the break-dance with her standing on her right hand and pointing at Midnight.

Music ends and Midnight spins, shines, and appears in cowboy clothes and Rednex “Cotton Eye Joe” starts playing. Rainbow Dash is slack-jawed of what she saw. Midnight had a cowboy hat, boots, leather jacket and everything. Midnight places his hands on his hips and starts tip-tapping in his boots. AppleBloom saw what Midnight was decided to join him in country dancing. Rainbow Dash was getting a little worried. But AppleJack was there and decided to join her and helped her out onto how to dance like a cowgirl.

Music end and Midnight spins, shines and appears in party clothes and Vengaboys “We Like To Party” starts playing. Midnight had a little top-hat, white glasses and everything. He starts grooving really hard. He raises his hand up and then down. His feet went back and forward. Scootaloo saw what Midnight was doing and decided to join him. But it didn’t take long for Pinkie Pie to come along and join Rainbow Dash and AppleJack’s side and dances along with them and we ALL know how Pinkie likes to party. This should end well.

Next song was Usher’s “DJ Got us Falling in Love” and Midnight was in fashionable clothes. Sweetie Belle was dancing along with him, Scootaloo, and AppleBloom while Rarity was dancing along with Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and AppleJack. Midnight and his group were following Sweetie Belle’s lead since her and Rarity knew how to dance this type of style while Rainbow Dash and her group were following Rarity’s lead. Now it was becoming a group dance off. Twilight and Fluttershy were just standing there with grins on their faces. They didn’t felt like joining them. They seem to be having fun.

The song ends and it was the last one. Both Midnight and Rainbow Dash were exhausted. Both were sweating like pigs. Both of them walked towards each other and decided to call it a draw and shake hands.

“You’ve danced pretty well, Midnight” Rainbow Dash said

“Yeah, you too. I didn’t think I could dance for that long” Midnight replied.
