The Misadventures of Fluffle Puff

by Chaos Phantasm

Night Terrors.

12:03 AM, Ponyville. Everypony was sleeping in their beds all over the small little town. Princess Twilight Sparkle had just finished reading a book. She closed it and placed it on the sorting pile before hopping out of her seat and rubbing her eyes. Something was watching the alicorn from the shadows. It scurried past her from behind and hid again right as Twilight turned to see if anypony was around.

"H-Hello? Spike are you awake?" There was no answer. Twilight shrugged and started making her way upstairs. "Probably Fluffle Puff playing tricks again."

A pair of eyes that glowed green watched as Twilight ascended the stairs, it squinted at her and followed like a shadow in the night. It moved quickly and seamlessly, moving from ground to air, and hiding when Twilight turned to look.

"Fluffle if you're playing a trick on me..." Twilight sounded a tiny bit afraid.

She took two more steps up the stairs looking down them to be sure nopony was following her. She stepped into the kitchen and sighed. "It's just your imagination Twilight, get a grip." She took a deep breath and turned her back to the stairs and made her way to the next set of stairs that led up to the bedrooms.

All was quiet when suddenly the fridge door swung open, startling Twilight who screamed with fright. The panicking alicorn covered her face with her wings, shaking like a leaf. She moved a feather out of her right eye to see if there were any monsters or ghosts. Twilight however, didn't see neither one except a very hungry Fluffle Puff. The lavender alicorn lifted an eyebrow at the pink fluffy pony who was holding three bars of candy. Fluffle Puff looked back at Twilight, her mouth wide open and her eyes unblinking. Fluffle Puff slowly put the sweets back into the fridge and slowly shut the fridge door. As she did, Twilight saw a night terror in the light of the refrigerator. It made a scary face and made its hands into claws and made the hissing of a snake before its shadow vanished behind the door. Twilight stood frozen in one place. Her eyes were wide and her pupils had shrunk from the fear. Fluffle Puff walked over to Twilight and licked her cheek, followed by softly patting the same cheek with her right hoof and going upstairs to bed. Twilight stayed motionless for a good while, eventually she slowly Minecraft walked up the stairs and got into bed. She darted under the blankets and pulled them over her and ended up staying wide awake all night until dawn. By day break, Twilight was still hiding under her blankets when Chrysalis came in to see if she was up.

"Twilight are you still asleep?"

Twilight was silent.

"Twilight?"

Still no answer.

"... Twilight!" Chrysalis was getting annoyed.

Twilight stayed under her blankets. "...."

Chrysalis's left eye twitched. "TWILIGHT!!!" She shouted.

"Yaaargh!!" Twilight jumped out of her bed and clung to the ceiling like a cat with Chrysalis looking up at her from below.

"Twilight.."

"Y-Y-Yeah?"

"Are you alright?"

"N-n-no...." She sighed.

Fluffle Puff crawled upside down on the ceiling and absorbed Twilight in her fluff and continued walking. Twilight came out the other end covered in pink fluff. Fluffle Puff walked down the wall, stepping onto Twilight's bed, hopped off the bed then walked up Chrysalises leg and came to a stop on her underbelly.

Chrysalis giggled at Fluffle Puff but looked at Twilight bemused. "So, what's the matter?"

Twilight flopped face first onto the floor with her wings flapping frantically. She shook her head in a daze and got up, brushing herself off with her wings.

"I haven't gotten much sleep lately..."

"Obviously."

Fluffle Puff crawled onto Chrysalis's back and sat there with her tongue sticking out. Twilight checked under her bed, in her toy box, behind her bookshelf, in her closet, in Fluffle's fluff and finally in Spikes bed.

"So... what exactly are you looking for?" The changeling raised an eyebrow.

"Monsters, little mean looking monsters."

"Well it wasn't me. I was sleeping, and Fluffle puff can prove it."

"Pllth" Fluffle Puff blew a razz-berry at them both, having little to no understanding of what they were talking about. The changeling looked at the pink fluffy pony.

"Fluffle. I was sleeping right?"

Fluffle nodded with a smile. Chrysalis smiled and looked back at Twilight.

"See princess? Fluffle Puff knows."

"Did she tell you she's the one eating your chocolate?" Twilight looked at the both of them annoyed.

Chrysalis froze up for a moment while Fluffle Puff puckered her lips, her pupils shrinking, she then looked at Chrysalis.

Chrysalis turned her head to face Fluffle Puff with an angry glare. "So that's why my chocolate's been disappearing!"

Fluffle Puff slowly jumped off of Chrysalis and ran as fast as she could. Chrysalis growled and chased after Fluffle Puff.

"Come back here you thieving cloud!!"

Twilight rolled her eyes and sighed. She shook her head and stopped searching to get back to work. Later that day, Fluffle Puff was wandering around the library carrying a book in her mouth. She entered Twilight's office and paused in the doorway to tilt her head at the lavender unicorn whose back was turned to her. Twilight was writing letters to the princesses at her desk. Fluffle got down on the floor and slid across it on her belly. Twilight turned her head around to look at the door and raised an eyebrow before turning back to her work. Fluffle popped up on Twilight's right and sank back down just before Twilight could look to her right. Twilight started to feel uneasy and returned to her writing until Fluffle came up behind the unicorn and breathed down her neck. Twilight yelped and jumped up into the air and used her wings to get herself atop a book shelf to hide. Shaking and covering her face, Twilight peeked over the edge of the shelf down to Fluffle Puff who was looking up at her with a friendly smile. Twilight sighed and face hoofed at her own silliness.

"Ugh..." She hopped off the shelf and hovered back down to the floor. "I've got to stop being so afraid...."

Fluffle Puff walked over to Twilight and patted her on the head before walking away, leaving Twilight bemused. Chrysalis watched Fluffle Puff leave Twilight's office then looked into the room to see Twilight had finished writing her letter. The changeling looked at Fluffle puff walking in the direction of the living room and followed the Fluffy Pony unaware of the shadow that was behind her. Fluffle Puff turned around as Chrysalis kept moving and saw the creature blow a raspberry and vanish. Fluffle having seen the apparition stared wide eyed with her mouth open in shock. She back away and ran screaming into her Fun Cave made of pillows and hid. Chrysalis was sitting nearby and had watched Fluffle run past and into her pillow house. She lifted her eyebrow in confusion and looked over at the hallway.

"What the fluff's wrong with her?"

Chrysalis saw Spike enter the living room, he waved at Chrysalis whilst carrying a vase. Chrysalis waved back awkwardly and watched Spike rest the vase on a table and walk upstairs.

"Hmm..." Chrysalis thought with a pout. She turned her head to look at Fluffle Puff.

The fluffy pony was peeping through a crack in the Fun Caves and seemed quite scared. Chrysalis got up to Fluffle Puffs peep hole and put on a scary face.

"Boo!"

Fluffle screamed as loud as she could much to the changelings delight. Chrysalis laughed and wiped a tear from her eyes, stopping her laughter when Fluffle started running around the room while still inside the Fun Cave. Chrysalis sighed.

"Okay Fluffle, fun's over."

Fluffle Puff opened the pillow door and looked up to Chrysalis. The queen sighed and giggled.

"You're so adorable fuzzball." She ruffled Fluffles fur and walked to the door. "Come on Fluffle. Lets go outside."

Fluffle gasped and ran over to Chrysalis and out the door. Chrysalis sighed and rolled her eyes and exited the library. Yelling at Fluffle Puff outside.

Later that night Twilight was in her office, reading late again as she had the previous night. She flipped through the pages of her book, reading every paragraph as her eyes scrolled down the pages until she heard hoof steps upstairs. Her eyes lifted up from the page and looked toward the ceiling where the hoof steps came from. The unicorn put a book mark between page 37 and 38, closed and lowered the book onto the table beside her. She got up off her chair, levitating a broom as she did and exited her office. She approached the stairs and slowly walked up them, holding the broom closely. She entered the kitchen and looked around in the darkness for spots that were darker then others. In the same room was Fluffle Puff armed with a pillow and walking backwards looking around. Twilight was also backing up, looking around vigilantly. The fluffy pony and the unicorn slowly backed up into each other, giving one another a fright which had both of them running around the kitchen for a hiding spot.

"Aaargh!!" Screamed Twilight.

Fluffle Puff squealed loudly and ran around the Kitchen with Twilight doing the same. Twilight hid inside the refrigerator while Fluffle Puff went into hiding under the sink. Both ponies kept to their hiding places for a while before peeking out from the doors to see if anypony was around. They each came out of their hiding spots and looked around again until spying one another. Fluffle closed her mouth and puckered her lips with her pupils shrinking. Twilight looked mad at the fluffy pony.

"Fluffle?!"

"Plplp"

"Don't you hello me! What are you doing out so late?"

"Plplp pllp plp plp plp pp pllllup"

"You're looking for a night terror like I am?"

Fluffle nodded. Twilight sighed.

"Alright you can help. I heard it around here. Maybe it's still skulking about."

Fluffle nodded with a smile then pulled out a pair of sunglasses from her fluff, and a biker helmet. She put them both on and put her pillow in her mouth and ravenously shook it. Afterwards they began their search around the kitchen for the night terror that has been terrifying the both of them. They spent half an hour searching through cupboards and drawers searching for the creature to no avail, it was if the creature didn't exist at all and was taunting them both.

"Where is it..." Twilight looked around with Fluffle Puff.

The sound of creaking began to fill the ears of Fluffle and Twilight, following the creaking was the sound of fluttering and pans being moved. The unicorn and the fluffy pony looked in the direction of the flapping and backed up.

"Careful Fluffle Puff don't let it get you." Twilight said in a cautious voice.

The fluttering sound soon turned to scratching and it moved across the wall and then jumped away and landed with a thump in front of Fluffle Puff and Twilight. The unicorn and the fluffy pony stare din horror as a large shadow rose up and stared down at them.

"Bah!"

Twilight and Fluffle Puff were silent for a moment before screaming in terror and dropping their pillow and broom. They ran back to their rooms in fright. Twilight hid under her blanket and Fluffle Puff hid inside her Fun Cave, and they didn't come out for the rest of the night.

The next morning, Chrysalis was trying her best to sleep in. Her mane was a mess, and tail was curled with hair out of place, she was drooling onto her pillow and her bed sheets were a mess. She was snoring quite loudly. The rooster crowed at Sweet Apple Acres, waking up the residents of Ponyville, all of the citizens were happily getting up and yawning, preparing to open their businesses for the day. But Chrysalis groaned and covered her head with her wet pillow which seemed to annoy her further. She looked bemused and sighed, putting down the pillow and getting up to go to the bathroom. She opened the bathroom door and stepped inside. She yawned and continued walking over to the sink where she turned on the tap, washed her face with a towel, brushed her mane and tail, and brushed her teeth. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled with her teeth showing. She then started to sway her head left and right making her mane swish about until it covered her face and got in her mouth.

"P-pfft pfft pllp" Chrysalis spat her hair out of her mouth and tired to move her mane back the way it was.

She shook her head and sighed. "Never doing that again..." She groaned.

A sound from the bedroom startled the changeling and made her jump around to face the door. Her horn glowed brightly and seemed seemed to attract fluff bunny's from in the other room. Chrysalis looked at these fluffy clouds and sighed shaking her head. "Fluffle Puff..."

Chrysalis stepped out of the bath room and looked around her bedroom for the fluffy pony only to be met with the same messy room she had been sleeping in before. Chrysalis scanned the room looking around for the largest congregation of fluff. However instead of finding Fluffle, she found a fluff trail she could follow. Chrysalis bent down and looked at the ball of fluff and looked at where it went. The pink cloud trail on the floor went all over the room, clinging to walls and ceilings, it lead around the bed and out the bedroom door onto the stair case. Chrysalis squinted and followed this breadcrumb trail like a detective minus the hat, pipe and glass. She followed the trail into the kitchen which went up the wall and along the ceiling. The changeling queen followed the trail up the wall and along the ceiling, her belly pressed against the top as if sliding as she searched; but alas gravity dragged Chrysalis back down. Before she fell she stopped and looked down at the floor below, she blinked twice then looked toward the reader and levitated a sign which read "How?" then fell to the floor with a thud.

"Oof..! Ouch..."

Chrysalis shook her head and could suddenly hear Fluffle Puff screaming and running around the living room downstairs. The changeling sighed and cartoonishly jumped down stairs and peeked around the corner to see Fluffle was now standing still with a crazed twitch in her eye, drinking a milk shake. Chrysalis stared too afraid to approach and slowly turned around without making a sound. She turned all away around to make her way back upstairs sneakingly when the floorboards creaked. Fluffle Looked over at the staircase and screamed her loudest. Chrysalis braced herself for whatever was about to follow, but after five minutes nothing even happened. Chrysalis opened one eye and looked behind her slowly before suddenly being pummeled into the ground by a terrified yet cheerful looking Fluffle Puff with a pillow.

"Ow! ow! F-fluffle! oof!"

Fluffle continued to slam the pillow onto Chrysalis over and over again.

"FLUFFLE PUFF!!"

Fluffle froze and poked her tongue out. She looked down at Chrysalis who stood up and was panting in rage. Fluffle smiled at the changeling.

"Why did you hit me with a pillow?" Chrysalis's eye twitched.

Fluffle Puff dropped the pillow and squeed. She then began to explain her reason in the best way she could, through her raspberry's and gasps. Chrysalis was absolutely livid by this point.

"Night terror? You hit me with a pillow because you thought I was a night terror??!!"

Fluffle Puff thought for a moment then nodded really fast. Queen Chrysalis sighed and calmed down.

"Well I am rather terrifying..." She pouted and looked at the fluffy pony and shook her head. "... There's no such thing as Night Terrors! They are only a figment of your disturbingly creative imagination."

"Pllplp"

"Twilight?"

Fluffle Nodded. Her eyebrows furrowed and her lips in a frown.

"Wha... T-Twilight's just filling your head with nonsense." Chrysalis frowned.

Fluffle turned away from Chrysalis and was unhappy.

"Fluffle Puff... please don't be like that.."

Fluffle Puff was silent, her eyes closed and her nose in the air. She stayed this way until she felt Something in her fur. Fluffle turned around to see Chrysalis sinking into the fluff then look at the fluffy pony with playful intent. Fluffle smiled and started running around with Chrysalis in side her fluff. Chrysalis giggled with Fluffle carrying her around for an hour. Later at night Fluffle and Twilight sat in the kitchen and waited. Chrysalis decided to join them this time just to prove that there are no night terrors. They have been waiting for three hours and were all sleepy. Twilight yawned, Fluffle Puff opened and closed her eyes tiredly and Chrysalis was fast asleep and snowing with her tail on her face. While she snored her tail moved back and forth. The three of them suddenly became alerted to the sound of creaking from upstairs, and the thump of footsteps from the stairs. The three of them got behind the table barricade they made and peeked over it to see a large winged shadow making its way down the stairs. The three pony's eyes widened. Twilight shook, Chrysalis sweat and Fluffle Puff chewed on Chrysalis's hooves. Chrysalis looked at Fluffle and pulled her hoof away and grunted at the fluffy pony making Fluffle sink down behind the table while the beast approached. It flapped its wings upon entering the room and sniffed. It licked its chops and went over to the refrigerator. Fluffle Puff saw its shadow and jumped up onto the ceiling with an eep. The terror was human in shape, with a large growth on its back and feathery wings. It was silhouetted in the darkness and had long arms and legs, and a massive frill in a mo-hawk shape on its head. Twilight was sweating buckets and shaking, watching it slither to fridge. Chrysalis looked at Twilight with scorn, unhappy that she was right. The night terror opened the fridge and sniffed around. The refrigerator light was broken and couldn't light up the room to expose the monster. It sniffed out a wrapped block of chocolate.

"Chocolate" It said in a deep greedy voice.

"Noo!!!"

The monster turned it's head right and was met with Chrysalis's back right hoof to its face.

"My chocolate!!" Chrysalis glared.

The force of the kick sent the night terror spiraling into the oven, a hoot of an owl followed the collision as well as the pained groans of Spike. Fluffle Puff scurried along the ceiling toward the light switch then down the wall to turn it on. But Fluffle Puff missed the light and stood on the floor. She lifted her front left hoof and petted the light switch before finally tuning it on. The lights came on and she gasped happily. Twilight and Chrysalis went over to the 'night terror' and were shocked to see it was Spike and Owlowiscious. Spike was on stilts and Owlowiscious was on the floor beside the sitting dragon.

"Spike?" Twilight said unhappily.

Spike sighed. "Sorry Twilight..."

"What were you and Owlowiscious thinking?!"

Spike took off the stilts and sighed. "Chrysalis has all that chocolate and I really really wanted some... Fluffle Puff helped steal it while I scared everypony away."

"Plp" Fluffle Puff slid beside Spike and Owlowiscious joining the guilty crowd.

Chrysalis was fuming. "You dressed up as a monster just to scare us while Fluffle Puff got my chocolate, MY CHOCOLATE??!!" Chrysalis's head grew three sizes and her mouth got wider then ever, her mouth in an angry toothy grin.

"And we would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling mares and your fully pony whaaaah..?"

Twilight and Chrysalis saw to their shock, as well as Spike's and Owlowiscious shock, there were two Fluffle Puff's. The two Fluffle puffs stared at each other for a while, both of them opening and closing their mouths.

"Wait... how are there two of you?"

Fluffle Puff looked at Chrysalis and shrugged. The one beside Spike and Owlowiscious cleared her throat then removed some fluff on her forehead revealing a zipper. Everypony was confused and speechless. The fake Fluffle Puff grabbed the zipper and pulled it, opening the costume revealing a gorilla. The gorilla roared and pounded on its chest while everypony screamed in terror. The gorilla shocked Chrysalis and made her faint. Upon closing her eyes Chrysalis re-awoke in her bed in the early morning and sat up. She looked around her room for anything out of place then sighed, falling back into it after.

"Just a dream...?"

Fluffle Puff came up to the bed, walked up the side of it and vanished under the blankets. Chrysalis continued to lay there oblivious and sighed. She felt her pillow get pulled out form under her and looked to see Fluffle Puff replaced herself with the pillow. Chrysalis smiled went back to sleep while Fluffle Puff looked blank.

"Pllp" Fluffle poked her tongue out.
