//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: A Nightmare Before The Night [CYOA] // by Selbi //------------------------------// Chapter 7 “There’s no way in Tartarus I’m going to spend money on something I already own!” Twilight angrily charged towards the pile, and began ripping off the paper and ribbon of all the packages she could get her hooves on. “Not here… Not here… Not here…” Rarity just stood open-mouthed next to her, helplessly watching her friend ripping through the previous hours of hard work. Neither pony noticed the small, white cat curiously walking towards her. Opalescence meowed at Twilight, tilting her head, as if to say, “What is she doing?” “I got it! I got it!” screamed Twilight victoriously after tearing open a light-blue package with a perfectly tied ribbon on it. She heroically held the key up high, showing the world how her eagerness paid off. In her blind celebration over herself, she didn’t notice the cat charging at her. With a quick snap, Opal snatched up the key in her mouth, and dashed away, oblivious to the fact that it wasn’t a plaything. Realizing she once again lost the key to her own silliness, Twilight’s temper broke loose. “OH COME ON, GET BACK HERE!” As if running after that crazy cat would accomplish anything. Go straight to Chapter 28. Don’t pass Go, don’t collect two hundred bits.
