Rainbow Dash stood outside the door of the Golden Oaks library, dressed in her Daring Do outfit. Twilight had suggested the idea that they dress up together for Nightmare Night, and when she suggested a Daring Do theme, Rainbow had immediately jumped on the idea.
She raised her hoof and knocked on the door for the third time, surprised at the lack of response from either of the library’s occupants. Growing impatient, she tried the doorknob and found it unlocked. Upon entering, she noticed that all the lights in the library were off, save a glow emanating from the crack under the basement door.
“Twi? Spike? You guys here?” She called out as she headed over to the door.
Pressing her ear up to the door, she could barely make out muffled noised coming from the other side. A smirk appeared on her muzzle as her mind worked.
“Trying to prank the Dash, eh?” She muttered to herself.
She opened the door as quietly as possible, a slight creak coming from the hinges causing her to freeze, listening intently to see if she had been given away. After hearing nothing after a few moments, she continued to sneak down the stairs. As she went further down, the light from the lone lantern at the top of the stairs grew dimmer and dimmer forcing her to squint to see anything when she reached the bottom.
Her ears perked up as she heard a muffled voice coming through the darkness. Closing her eyes, she strained her hearing, trying to make out the voice.
“Oh, will nopony save me?” Her eyes snapped open, that was Twilight’s voice!
Her heart raced as she searched for the direction the voice was coming from. She carefully made her way through the dim basement and found her way to another doorway with light coming from beyond.
“Somepony save me!” Came Twilight’s voice again.
Pushing the door open, she saw Twilight strapped to a table, leather straps holding each of her legs in place. She was dressed in a costume that resembled the museum curator from the Daring Do books. She had to admit to herself that Twilight looked good in the outfit, a slight blush coming to her cheeks as she thought of different things they could do with it.
Twilight’s head turned as she heard the door open.
“Daring! You've come for me!” She exclaimed in an over-dramatic tone as Rainbow entered the room. Before Rainbow could say anything, Twilight’s eyes suddenly went wide.
“Look out!” She exclaimed.
Rainbow quickly turned around, seeing two poorly made puppet monsters being held aloft by a faint purple glow. Her smirk returned and she decided to play along.
“I’ll save you!” She shouted as leapt at one of the monsters.
After a short battle which she inevitably won, she made her way over to where Twilight was being held ‘captive’ and undid the restraints. Twilight immediately jumped up and hugged her.
“My hero!” She announced before pulling Rainbow into a passionate kiss. Twilight pulled away, looking at her with lidded eyes.
“Now for your reward.” She said, going in for another kiss. Her horn lit up, and the door swung shut behind them.
