The Princess Rarity


Stupidity.





A soft gasp broke the silence in the bedroom, and the lamp flickered on. "Applejack! Did you hear that?" Rarity said suddenly.

Applejack rolled over on her side, and blocked out the light with her side of the blanket. "Land sakes, Rares, it was jus' Winona.

Relax, will ya?" she muttered.

The unicorn stammered, and looked away, with her nose in the air. "I am relaxed," she lied.

"Then why aren't ya sleepin'?" Applejack retorted.

"I'm not tired," Rarity said.

However, Applejack could notice the weary expression on her marefriend's face and she just shook her head. "Uh-huh. Ok, sure, we'll go with that," she mused. "Now turn the darn light off, I wanna go back to bed."

Letting out a sigh, Rarity reluctantly shut the light off and laid back down, staring up at the ceiling in the dark.

It was too dark.

And what was that shadow outside anyway?!

She used her magic and pulled down the curtains to block out any possible strange activity outside.

But a light thud from the hallway caused her to speak up once more.

"...where exactly do you keep the shotgun?"

"Rarity!" Applejack exclaimed in shock, as she looked to her marefriend.

"What?" the unicorn said, holding her hooves up in defense. "It was just a question!"

"Ah ain't letting you shoot anypony, now go to sleep!" Applejack demanded. "There's nothin' out there!"

Rarity frowned. "But what if-"

Applejack let out a groan. "We shoulda have nev'r watched that stupid horror movie," she declared.
