The CMC VS the Neverending Night

The Story

----

Our story begins inside Applejack’s house, Apple Bloom is preparing for a sleepover she’s gonna have with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. She prepared a snack table with cheese puffs, popcorn, various desserts Applejack baked, fruit punch, ect. She also set up a television and a Ponybox 360.

Just then, Applejack walked into Apple Bloom’s room while holding a pair of footie hoodie pajamas. It was pink and it had an apple & heart & flower pattern.

“Ah’ have your special pajamas all clean and warmed up for yer sleepover, sugarcube!”, Applejack announced, much to Apple Bloom’s excitement.
 
“Awesome!”, Apple Bloom shouted, as she placed her hooves onto the warm and cozy pajamas. “Thank you, Applejack! Ah’m glad I can count on you for maximum comfort!”

“Yeah, ah’ remember making these pajamas with Rarity for you and your friends! You three were so excited once receiving them last year on Christmas!”, Applejack explained to Apple Bloom, reminiscing on old memories.

Apple Bloom put her pajamas on, and sighed out of comfort. The pajamas were so soft, warm, and cozy. They were especially fitting for a cold, snowy night.

“Man, I am so excited for this thing to start! It’s just gonna be the three of us alone all night long!”, Apple Bloom enthusiastically said.

Just then, Applejack and Apple Bloom heard somepony knocking on the door. Once they answered it, they found Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo standing there with their bags and footie hoodie pajamas. Sweetie Belle’s pajamas were blue and they had a star & music note & bell pattern, and she brought her teddy bear. Scootaloo’s pajamas were green and they had a lightning bolt, wing, and cloud pattern, and she was wearing a pair of flight goggles, for fun.

“Sweet and Scoot, ah’m SO glad you two could make it!”, Apple Bloom exclaimed.

“You bet! We aren’t going to miss this awesome sleepover!”, Scootaloo yelled, with Sweetie Belle replying with, “I can’t wait to stuff myself with candy, and watch Ponyhontas!”

“No, I wanna watch Mulen!”, Scootaloo shouted toward Sweetie Belle.

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo then argued with each other about which movie they wanted to watch. Of course, Apple Bloom, being the smartest of the three, broke up their argument. She asked the two, “Why can’t we watch both?”

That got them to stop arguing, thankfully. Applejack left the house afterwards for a night out with the Mane Six, leaving the CMC to their sleepover.

“Goodbye, sugarcube! Ah’ love ya’!”, Applejack told Apple Bloom as she left her house.

“Ah’ love ya’ too!”, Apple Bloom replied, as Applejack closed the door.

“Alright!”, Scootaloo announced. “Are you ready to have one of the greatest sleepovers of our lives?!!”

“YES!!!”, Sweetie Belle yelled

“Mmm hmm!”, Apple Bloom agreed.

And just like that, the sleepover began.

----

“Alright, to begin the night, we’re gonna start this night with a little game!”, Apple Bloom announced to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

Apple Bloom set up a table with various desserts and sweets on top, metallic baskets that were connected to grinders and tubes, mats the color of the trio’s respective hair, and a bowl in the center of all of it. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle were confused at first.

“Allow me ta’ explain how this game works!”, Apple Bloom assured. “In this game, you have to grab as many desserts and sweets as you can, and put them into the baskets! Once it’s all gone, we turn the grinders on, and it will send the desserts down the tubes! Whoever has the largest belly wins thirty bits! Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, please bet ten bits each into the bowl!”

Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo understood the game and placed their bets, along with Apple Bloom.

Afterwards, they began the game. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo grabbed as many desserts as they could and shoved them into the basket. It took a while before all of the desserts and sweets were gone. Once they were, the trio put each of the tubes into their mouths, and Apple Bloom turned the machine on.

Their bellies started expanding slowly. The amount of food filling their stomachs felt oddly pleasant. 

Unfortunately for Scootaloo, her basket of food was the smallest, so she finished with her desserts first (which was a bad thing in context of the game). Her stomach was the size of a beach ball, and she had to unzip her pajamas so her stomach could bulge out easier.

Apple Bloom finished second. Her stomach was bigger than Scootaloo’s, and similar to her, she had to unzip her pajamas so her stomach could bulge out easier.

Sweetie Belle was clearly the winner, as her stomach was the size of a beanbag chair, and she rested on her belly as if it was one. Of course, she had to unzip her pajamas. Sweetie Belle was glad she won, and she loved the amount of food that was in her body. And as the winner, she lifted the bowl of bits using her magic and poured the bits into her bag.

“Wow, this feels so good! Not just the winning, but my large belly!”, Sweetie Belle claimed with joy.

“Oh, shut up!”, Scootaloo bitterly said while blushing.

“Come on, Scoots! It’s just a game!”, Apple Bloom told Scootaloo, with her response being, “I guess, but I lost ten bits!”

“So did I, and I’m not complaining!”, Apple Bloom explained. “I’m happy Sweetie Belle won!”

Immediately after that, the trio started to feel sick from all the sweets they ate.

“Oh my Celestia! I don’t feel so good anymore!”, Apple Bloom said as Scootaloo ran outside and vomited.

Apple Bloom followed immediately afterwards, and Sweetie Belle opened the window and threw up all over Applejack’s flowers.

After that incident, the trio’s bellies were the size of softballs, which thankfully made it easier for them to walk.

“I still get to keep the money, right?”, Sweetie Belle asked, which Scootaloo admitted she did, and Apple Bloom agreed.

----

After that, um, event, the trio decided to wind down by watching a movie.

“So, whatta ya’ guys wanna watch?”, Apple Bloom asked. “We have many options!”

“I wanna watch Ponyhontas!”, Sweetie Belle exclaimed, with Scootaloo replying with, “Why in Equestria do you wanna watch that?!”

“Why not?”, Sweetie asked.

“Gee, I dunno!”, Scootaloo snarked. “It’s not like the movie is historically inaccurate with a two dimensional cast, predictable plot, inconsistent tone, lackluster music, and stiff animation!”

“Hey, the music and animation are both amazing!”, Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

“In YOUR opinion!”, Scootaloo snarled back.

“Guys, don’t fight!”, Apple Bloom exclaimed. “We have all the time in the world to watch what both of you want!”

Sweetie Belle perked up as Scootaloo sighed and admitted AB was right. They turned Ponyhontas on and the opening song played. “In sixteen hundred seven, we sailed the open sea, for Glory, Celestia, and Gold, and the Equestrian company! For the new world is like heaven…”

----

Several minutes later, Scootaloo started wrapping Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle in separate blankets.

“Feel comfy?”, Scoots asked AB and Sweetie, to which they nodded.

Scootaloo fell flat onto Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle’s wrapped up burrito blankets and sighed with comfort. She may not have been a big fan of Ponyhontas, but she adored using her best friends as pillows. Apple Bloom didn’t feel too comfortable with Scootaloo laying on her body, but Sweetie Belle, on the other hand, didn’t mind at all.

Ten minutes later, AB and SB unwrapped themselves. Sweetie Belle went to make popcorn while Apple Bloom got payback on Scootaloo by wrapping HER up with TWO blankets.

“Hey, let me out!!”, Scoots demanded.

“No way! This is what ya’ get when ya’ use me and Sweetie Belle as objects!”, Apple Bloom smuggish explained. “Besides, you look adorable this way!”

“I am not adorable!”, Scootaloo blushed. “Sweetie Belle is adorable! I, on the other hand, am tough and serious!”

“Face it!”, AB said. “You’re just as cute as me and Sweetie! Watch!”

Apple Bloom then started tickling Scootaloo’s mane with Scoots attempting not to laugh, but failing miserably. Scootaloo laughed her flank off, despite not wanting to. Scootaloo felt so embarrassed, but she couldn’t express it. Apple Bloom was having too much fun.

Right when Sweetie Belle came back up, Apple Bloom stopped tickling Scoots and placed her back on the bed faced down. 

“Sweetie Belle, I don’t think we’ll need any popcorn!”, Apple Bloom told Sweetie. “We have a chicken burrito right here!”

“I AM NOT A CHICKEN!!”, Scootaloo screamed at the top of her lungs. “STOP IT WITH THE SCOOTABUSE!!”

“No Scootaloo, this is Scootalove!”, Sweetie Belle gently explained as she curled up next to Scootaloo like a cat. Sweetie Belle started purring, and Scootaloo started blushing even more.

“Sorry Scoots, but when you use me as a pillow, ah’ use YOU as a pillow!”, Apple Bloom smuggly explained as her cheeks filled with popcorn and chocolate.

----

The sleepover was going great for the trio. Sweetie Belle loved her volleyball sized stomach, Apple Bloom liked her volleyball sized stomach, and Scootaloo secretly liked her volleyball sized stomach, but was too embarrassed to admit it.

“Savages! Savages! Barely even Ponies! Now we sound the drums of war!”, the TV played.

“Yikes, this song always gives me nightmares!”, Sweetie Belle exclaimed, before Scootaloo replied, “Eh, this song’s not as good as the Mob Song from Beauty and the Beast”

“Wait, you like that movie?”, AB asked.

“Yeah! Just because I’m athletic doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy princess movies from time to time!”, Scoots admitted.

“Hey, I brought something for our sleepover that I’ve been waiting to show you guys!”, Sweetie announced, to which AB and Scoots asked what.

Sweetie Belle then pulled a laptop out of her bag with her cutie mark engraved on it.

“Woah, since when did you get a laptop?!”, Scootaloo asked with amazement.

“Button Mash gave it to me for Hearth’s Warming! He personalized every aspect of this thing just for me!”, she said as she set it up.

“Wow, that is awesome!”, Apple Bloom said.

After she set the thing up, the crusaders started playing PonyCraft, and completely forgot Ponyhontas was playing. The crusaders had so much fun killing Creepers and Zombies, gathering materials, and surviving multiple nights.

“I hope this night never ends!!”, the crusaders yelled at the same time.

----

Somewhere around 11:45 AM, Sweetie Belle finished her modern-looking house in Ponycraft. She was proud of her work, and her friends were impressed. 

“And save!”, Sweetie Belle said as she clicked enter. “I’m better at this game than I thought!”

Just then, an advertisement appeared on screen. An advertisement that advertised something very interesting. Something that intrigued the trio.

“What’s this?”, Apple Bloom asked.

“Wanna get rich quickly?”, Scootaloo read. “Well, we can make that happen! Just click this link, and our website will explain everything!”

“Should we trust it?”, Sweetie Belle asked, to which Apple Bloom replied, “Ah’ don’t think so. What if it’s a scam?”

“What if it’s not? We could make so much money, and our older sisters would be so proud of us!”, Scootaloo explained.

“Well, I don’t have much money on my laptop, so it’s not like I have too much to lose”, Sweetie Belle added as her moused hovered over the link.

“Fine…”, Apple Bloom sighed.

After Sweetie clicked the link, the three fillies took a good look at the website. It seemed normal. The site had videos, articles, a couple minigames, ads, ect. Sweetie Belle read the website’s front page before scrolling down.

“Okay, it says there should be a form for us to fill out”, Sweetie Belle explained. “Afterwards, we should get the money”

Apple Bloom swallowed with worry and Scootaloo smiled with excitement. Sweetie Belle started filling the form. She put the name of Applejack’s barn, the name of the town they lived in, the name of the crusaders themselves, the name of their area code, their email, their phone number, and Sweetie Belle’s username.

Apple Bloom started to feel a little better after seeing the form didn’t require a credit card number or password, so she started to get excited.

“Are you guys ready to become rich?!”, Scootaloo shouted, to which AB and Sweetie yelled, “YES!!!”

“Sweetie Belle, press enter!”, Scoots told Sweetie.

But after Sweetie Belle pressed enter, the crusader’s smiles melted off quickly. A red screen with a black skull and a black “Heartless” font stook to the screen.

“Wait, what’s this?!!”, Apple Bloom asked with fear.

“You fools!”, Sweetie Belle read. “You have just doomed yourselves! You gave me your location on a silver platter! And now, I will track you down and kidnap you! I’ll trap you in my secret hideout, and commit heinous actions on you! Once the clock strikes 12:00 AM, it’s game over! Peace……”

And just like that, Apple Bloom’s clock started chiming. The trio quickly turned their heads with fear as big as the moon itself. They gasped hard. They knew how much trouble they were in. They knew, they screwed up.

----

The wind outside blew hard. The thunder was loud, the weathervane on Applejack’s barn creaked, and Applejacks farm animals cowered within the barn.

The poor crusaders were staring at the red computer screen in shock. They knew how badly they screwed up. Falling for an obvious scam and receiving a terrible, terrible punishment.

“OH NO, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!!”, Sweetie Belle shouted. “I KNEW I SHOULDN’T HAVE CLICKED THAT LINK I’M SMARTER THAN THAT I AM SO DOOMED I CAN’T BELIEVE IT WHAT WOULD RARITY WAY ABOU-”

Scootaloo then slapped Sweetie Belle and said, “Sweetie Belle, get a grip!!”

“You guys, what are we gonna do about the scammer?!”, Apple Bloom spiraled. “I can’t imagine what it’s gonna do to-”

Just then, the lights flickered. Wind started blowing inside. Small black pixels started flying around the room, letting the crusaders know the scammer was there. Except, it wasn’t a physical pony. It was, something different. 

The pixels then charged toward a specific coordinate of Apple Bloom’s room. All of them started twirling quickly within a vortex, forming a creature. The crusaders backed away as they watched. They have never felt so scared in their lives.

When the pixels stopped flying around, the scammer was revealed. It was a black shadow of pixels, with purple and red lightning bolts striking out of the skin. And when the figure opened its purple and red eyes, Apple Bloom’s heart almost stopped.

“Well well well! If it isn’t the Cutie Mark Crusaders!”, the scammer devilishly snarked. “Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, I presume!”

“Wha-WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH US?!”, Apple Bloom screamed.

“Oh, nothing actually! I’m just kidnapping you three because I can!”, it said as it created a portal with his bare hands. “Now, get into my portal!”

“RUN!!!”, Scootaloo shouted.

And just like that, the trio ran for their lives. Dashing out of the bedroom and into the hallways, with the scammer following them at high speeds, leaving a trail of black pixels on the floor. 

The scammer chased the trio all over the house, blasting through the kitchen, gushing through the living room, and storming out the front door. Eventually, the trio ran up to their treehouse and locked the door.

“WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?!!”, Apple Bloom screamed. “WE CAN’T JUST LET IT KIDNAP US!!! WHAT WILL OUR FAMILIES DO IF WE DISAPPEAR FROM THEIR LIVES?!!”

“I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO!!!”, Sweetie Belle shouted. “WE ARE DOOMED!!! WE ARE DOOMED!!! D-O-O-M-E-D DOOMED!!!”

“SWEETIE BELLE IS RIGHT!!!”, Scootaloo yelled. “WE ARE-”

Just then, the door swung open, and the scammer whispered, “Doomed!”

The crusaders screamed at the top of their lungs before jumping out the treehouse’s windows.

“SOMEPONY HELP US!!!”, the trio screamed, with nopony hearing them, or even being around…

After 10 minutes of running, the trio were cornered in between a tree and the fence.

“OH NO, WE ARE CORNERED IN BETWEEN A TREE AND THE FENCE!!!”, Apple Bloom repeated.

The scammer walked toward the trio with menacing eyes.

“So, it looks like you’re cornered! Game over, losers!”, the scammer bragged.

Just then, Apple Bloom remembered all the trouble that’s happened over the years, and gained enough courage to stand up to the scammer.

“NO!! WE WILL NOT LET YOU KIDNAP US!! LEAVE US ALONE!!”, Apple Bloom bravely shouted toward the scammer, with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo quickly realizing what Apple Bloom was doing.

“YEAH, LEAVE US ALONE!!!”, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo yelled.

“LEAVE US ALONE!!! LEAVE US ALONE!!! LEAVE US ALONE!!!”, the trio yelled, causing the scammer’s pixelated body to crack, with a bright white light bursting out of the cracks.

The scammer started screaming as the trio shouted, “LEAVE US ALONE!!!”, over and over again.

“NO, STOP!!! YOU’RE GONNA KILL ME!!!”, the scammer screamed, but the crusaders didn’t listen and continued screaming, “LEAVE US ALONE!!! LEAVE US ALONE!!!”

And just like that, the scammer’s pixelated body exploded in a white pixelated cloud, with its black pixels flying all over the place before fading. It’s final words were, “THIS IS MY TIME!!! MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!”

“Oh my gosh, we, we’re alive!”, Sweetie Belle said. “WE ARE ALIVE!!!”

The crusaders jumped with joy, becoming so relieved that the scammer didn’t kidnap him. The crusaders then hugged each other as tight as they could.

“I love you guys!”, Apple Bloom exclaimed.

But as they went back to cheering, Scootaloo accidentally hit the tree they were next to, and a giant barrage of snow piled onto the crusaders. They poked their heads out, and started shivering.

“L-l-lets g-g-go b-back ins-side!”, Apple Bloom chattered.

----

Inside the house, Apple Bloom started the fireplace as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo bundled themselves up in blankets and sipped some hot chocolate out of long straws.

“Guys, I’m sorry”, Apple Bloom said. “Ah’ should’ve told you not to accept the form! It was an obvious scam and I could’ve easily convinced you two to avoid it!”

“No Apple Bloom”, Scootaloo said. “It’s all our faults. We're smarter than to accept an obvious scam! A scam that almost got us killed!”

“We learned our lesson for SURE!”, Sweetie Belle claimed. “I just hope we’ll remain safe!”

Apple Bloom then wrapped herself up in a blanket and sat in between Sweetie and Scoots.

“I think we’ll be okay. For now, we should warm ourselves up”, Apple Bloom suggested.

The trio stared at the fireplace as it sparked and warmed the room.

“Guys, what are we gonna tell our sisters?”, Sweetie Belle asked. “We can’t just lie to them!”

“Ah’ dunno!”, Apple Bloom replied. “We can think more in the morning! For now, we need to process what just happened”

About a half-hour later, the trio went upstairs and cuddled up in Apple Bloom’s bed.

“Goodnight!”, Apple Bloom said to Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

Apple Bloom turned the light off, and the trio fell asleep right away.

----

It was really dark out. The snow fell hard and covered the farm. The wind blew against the windows and the house was creaking a bit.

Apple Bloom woke up in a really tired state. She had to use the bathroom, so she got up and dragged her hooves down the hallway. When she made it to the bathroom, she emptied her bladder, and sighed of relief.

“Much better!”, she mumbled.

But then, something REALLY unsettling happened. She heard heavy footsteps in the hallway. She knew it wasn’t Sweetie Belle nor Scootaloo. 

“Who, who is that?”, she thought.

The door then swung open, much to the dismay of Apple Bloom. At first, she thought the scammer returned somehow, but her fear transformed into confusion once she saw, her refrigerator…

“What in the blazes of-”, she thought.

But her confusion transformed right BACK into fear once the refrigerator started creeping its way toward the poor little filly. 

“WHOA, WHAT THE?!”, Apple Bloom screamed as she backed into the bathtub, where the refrigerator jumped into the bathtub, where it stood right next to Apple Bloom before sucking her in.

Afterwards, she was flying into a black void of nothingness. Her pajamas changed into a prison jumpsuit, and her bow turned orange.

“Wha- where am I?”, she asked, to no response.

She felt confused, horrified, and devastated all at the same time. She didn’t know how to process the situation she was in. She was alone, but how she got there was a BIG question.

Oddly enough, she got the vibe that she wasn’t alone. Considering the environment she was in, the vibe couldn’t feel more out of place.

----

“Hello, is anypony there?”, Apple Bloom asked. She didn’t really expect a response, until…

“Not a pony!”, a mysterious voice answered.

“Wha, WHO SAID THAT?!”, Apple Bloom screamed as her pupils shrunk.

Just after she said that, a window from far away opened up, revealing three creatures. Two of which looked like angular humans, and the third one looking like a demon from another dimension. The window was far from Apple Bloom, but she could still make out the figures.

One of the figures was a pale-skinned woman with long black and gray hair in a ponytail, and her attire was a sleeveless cami tank top, olive green denim shorts, and sandals.

The second figure was a tan, muscular man with a red shirt, green jeans, and a necklace with a metallic bull icon connected.

The final figure was a triangular demon with a top hat, bow tie, one eye, and a cane.

“We did!”, the woman shouted.

“Who are you guys?!!”, Apple Bloom squirmed.

“Oh, silly us!”, the man replied.

“Allow us to introduce ourselves!”, the Dorito said.

“My name is Heather!”, the woman claimed. “Heather Kasuga!”

“And MY name is Alejandro!”, the man explained. “Alejandro Burromuerto!”

“And last but most CERTAINLY not least, MY name is Bill!”, the pyramid shouted. “BILL CIPHER!!”

“We’re from different dimensions!”, Heather smuggishly explained. “Or, me and Alejandro are from the same dimension, but still!”

“And we are here to torcher you in our matter generator!”, Alejandro mocked. “We can create ANY environment in this bad boy with just a click of a button!”

“And hopefully, for us, this experience will give you a heart attack!”, Bill Cipher laughed.

“Wait, what do ya’ mean-”, Apple Bloom started before the magic began.

The matter generator generated a view of a night sky, with a star somewhere on the screen and the clouds on the bottom. It started flying down through the clouds with Apple Bloom before panning down to a very clear view of a river, with a train running down the railroad track. Afterwards, Apple Bloom glided with the camera past a flag and panned down as she saw some fireworks going off, only to find a massive castle. The fireworks were almost finished when she almost reached a comfortable position in front of the castle. When the fireworks finished, a very small dot appeared way closer to the castle and then moved to the right side. The dot then drew a line over the castle as it unusually panned and it was almost finished when AB was in a comfortable position in front of the castle. When the dot is finished drawing the line, the text, "WALT DiSNEY", faded in front of the main gate of the castle, and "P I C T U R E S" faded below.

“Woah!”, Apple Bloom shouted. “That was amazing! Didn’t ya’ say you were gonna torcher me?”

Heather started grinning in an unsettling way. “That might’ve seemed amazing, but this is only the beginning!”

“Heather is right!”, Alejandro announced. “Things are gonna get much worse… For you, that is!”

Afterwards, Apple Bloom experienced a mountain with stars, a full scale model of planet earth, a golden statue with searchlights and a giant 20, a blue shield with gold outlines in the sky, and a lion roaring out of a circle made of film, and Sony.

“Um, are these supposed to be scary?”, Apple Bloom asked. “Because ah’m not scared of any of this hoo-hah! In fact, I’m quite enjoying these!”

After she said that, the matter generator created a large exploding purple smoke cloud. Apple Bloom started zooming backwards, revealing a nebula. She continued to zoom out through the space-like background as a mountain range appeared below. The mountains then appear reflected in a water droplet on a dragonfly's wings. The dragonfly beats its wings in slow-motion, clearing the water drops, and flying through a new background, featuring some plants. AB dipped down into a pool of water and emerges to reveal a city at night, as a helicopter flies past. The city is revealed to be inside a snowglobe on a table of various items. Apple Bloom afterwards panned back to reveal two similar tables with blue holographic domes on them. Then, a robot named Tex appeared from the left and flew to a table in the front and loaded up a similar holographic dome over the table and flew off. The camera continued to zoom out, revealing that Tex is aboard a star cruiser of some sort. The ship made a light-speed jump, and Apple Bloom panned through the space station the ship was docked at. It was then revealed that the space station is in the shape of the letters, T, H, and X, which became a more traditional silver color after all that.

“So, what did you think?”, Heather mocked.

“Woah! That was breathtaking! The environments, the colors, the atmosphere itself! Though, ah’ didn’t like the deep note!”, Apple Bloom marveled.

“YEAH, THAT’S WHAT EVERYONE SAYS!!”, Bill Cipher yelled.

And then the horror DID begin, as she had to watch a cracked V zoom in towards her, two lines forming an S, and much more. Apple Bloom started to worry a little assuming the trio were serious.

Just then, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo appeared, with them both also wearing prison jumpsuits, and Sweetie’s horn being chained up along with Scootaloo’s wings.

“What are you guys doing here?!”, AB asked, and Sweetie replied, “I don’t know, why are you screaming?”

“Because of, well…”

Cue a star shooting out of a house.

“Um, that”

“Well well, if it isn’t your lame friends! Hope they’re excited for the ride!”, Heather mocked.

They saw a bunch of other “scary” logos, and they were actually terrified, as some of the stuff they saw was horrifying.

“PLEASE END THIS NIGHTMARE!!!”, they shouted.

And just then, the crusaders were swallowed by a black entity.

----

Thankfully, it was all just a nightmare, as AB woke up. Surprisingly enough, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo had the same nightmare.

“What the actual hay was that?!”, she asked Sweetie and Scoots.

They didn’t know what just happened, so they tried to go outside and get an adult. But when they saw what was outside, they stopped in their tracks. There was nothing but pure darkness. They tried to walk through, but it just pushed them back, like a barrier.

“Did we do something wrong?”, Sweetie Belle questioned, as she felt like they cursed themselves somehow.

They were trapped within a barrier, but soon they learned their lesson for real and the curse was lifted, and it ends with the crusaders resting on the laps of their respective sisters. Sorry for the rushed ending, I just have no motivation to finish this story anymore.
