Scootaloo

"I can't WAIT to show you to Rainbow!" Scootaloo said to the spider. "Gosh, she's gonna love you! And maybe she'll think I'm brave for playing with a spider! Awe, this is going to be so cool!" Scootaloo had been partially talking to herself, and got a few odd stares from ponies wandering the streets. But as soon as they saw the pin-sized spider, their eyes widened and they scrambled as far away from the pegasus as they could.
Scootaloo didn't notice, of course. She was far too preoccupied to care about small things like being self conscious. But as soon as she heard a very familiar scream, her ears perked up and she looked around in alarm.
"Rainbow Dash?!"
"HEEEEEELP!"
"I'm coming!" Scoots looked down at her spider. "I'll be right back!" And with that, she sped off, dropping it on the ground. As it hit the floor, a small squeak could be heard. And if you looked real close, you'd see the dejected spider scowl, but then smirk soon after.
Scootaloo, a few yards away by now, jumped out of the way just as Dash zoomed past, covered in surprisingly adorable spiders. "Gaaaaaaaaaaaahh!" She was wriggling around, trying to shake them off, but their grip was impossibly strong.
Scootaloo's eyes widened when she heard a whistle, which came from her itsy little spider not too far away.
"Abort! Get the small one instead!"
Scoots's face became pale. Every spider jumped off of Rainbow, causing her to fall to the ground, face first, with a thud.
They moved towards Scootaloo, who backed away muttering to Rainbow Dash, "Um, I'd love to stay and join...Whatever this is, but I've gotta get going..."
With that, she sprinted for her life in the other direction. Unfortunately, it was no use. The insects caught up to her in seconds and swarmed her in a pool of spiders. "Tell Apple Bloom...It should've been HEEEEEEERRRR!" And those were her final words. I would tell you how it ended, but that's not really my job. She woke up in the hospital...
