Reminds me of the story "arachnophobia"
one simple word LOL
Funny. I feel for Twilight as I have arachnophobia
2701257
I haven't seen that story. Hmm...
I was going to make a snarky remark here, but I've been to Australia. Spiders are no laughing matter.
Added to Twilight's Library on a contributors recommendation.

So I've heard. Isn't everything down there trying to kill you in one way or another?
That was brilliant

Well, you could make the argument that the kookaburra has no designs on homicide, but even that's going to be an uphill battle.
Ho-ho, I guess Twilight's never heard of sky-spiders
2701279 Well, the only real similarity, I admit is that some pony is terrified of spiders and hast o deal with a giant one, though that was enough to remind me of the other story
Soon as I read that line, a summertime insect landed on my computer screen. Coincidence? I think NOT!
Twilight's rampaging search for her imaginary army of spiders was adorable, but there was a bit of ugly subtext where Spike was concerned. Calling him a familiar (which I believe equates to an animal), putting "assist" in quotation marks as if this is the Merriwether Williams version of him, and Spike believing violence is a likely punishment for mild disobedience. These things were too disturbing to be funny or amusing.

Ahh! I take it you've met the Huntsman then?
Seriously, when watching the Luna Eclipsed episode - the Huntsman is precisely what Princess Luna's come-to-life spiders reminded me of (minus the glowing eyes).
Also, Twilight's manic stripping of all her bed sheets made me cringe.
......a shared experience, you see.
And yes! It was one of those Princess Luna Huntsman spiders!!!
I was 11 years old, almost asleep...... <gentle plop>...... on my face, furry legs across my right cheek & closed eyelid.
Yes that's right, a "Luna spider" dropped on my face.
That night pretty much cured my fear of spiders though.
I love simple SoL, Comedy, or Random one-shots!
They're not common.
this is ever encounter I have with a cockroach
I can relate, I'm terribly arachnophobic myself.

Whilst a kookaburra may not want to kill you, as an Antipodean I can speak from first-hoof experience when I say that they will not hesitate to mug you.
Bah.
I happen to know from a real life story a way that this can promptly become so much worse than this for the poor arachnophobe.
You see, a friend of my Father's grew up in the Sourthern Mid-West of the United States, in an area where the most common spiders were Tarantula's and brown recluse(these aren't very intimidating looking, but they have incredibly nasty bites), and she received many spider bites when she was growing up. Naturally, she ended up developing a phobia.
So, one day, as an adult, she saw a tarantula crawling up her staircase. In act of true bravery, she put on some boots, faced her fear, and stomped it flat. It promptly exploded into a million baby spiders which all ran off to hide in the corners of her house, out of sight.
Tarantulas, you see, do not leave their eggs lying around. They carry them in an egg sack on their back, and when they hatch, they carry their babies around on their back as they are growing up.
She doesn't try to face her fear anymore.
You've got a hit on your hands! Congratulations!
P.S. I love your title.

Strangely enough, I came across this just today. I take it from the comments on reddit that kookaburras are vicious, sausage-thieving brutes directly descended from pterodactyls. (Your dropbears are pretty scary too.)
Loved it!
2706054
Yes. Thanks so much for your help.
I've already sent this off for EQD to feast their eyes on.

That is an entirely accurate description of a kookaburra that decides that your food should be its food. They've got nothing on magpies during nesting season, however: kookaburras want your food; nesting mapgies want nothing less than the complete destruction of you and your loved ones.
Dropbears are easily deterred - a liberable application of Vegemite behind your ears will repel one should it land on you and attempt to liberate your head from your neck.
There's something to be said about a well executed idea. Seen the story plenty of times but I enjoyed it. Some lingering questions remain though. Twilight was burying her self in the trash can? I have to reread that part again, but the mental image may be my favorite part. I regret that Spike should teach us a lesson in civilian casualties.
2705950 How horrifying.
Wow, this almost looked like "lesson zero 2: when the spider attacks"
Liked and faved.
2705950
Far out!!
Yeaaaah... I must say, I reckon a million baby Luna spiders is more scary than one big Luna spider landing on your face in bed.
2705950
Those poor baby tarantulas
OGAWD
I CAN'T EVEN
AAAHHHHH
LIKED&FAVED
I NEED TO STOP LAUGHING
HELP
HE JUST WANTED TO BE FRIENDS! YOU MANIAC! YOU SQUASHED HER! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
Also... Aragog, really? Couldn't you at least have gone with Shelob?
2706407 Heh, now I feel like I have it easy here in Finland. I'll now return to sitting naked on an anthill twice my size while a bear steals the fish that I killed after it tried to take my leg off.
I'm not kidding about the ant thing. You get a prize for staying on the longest.
This should TOTALLY be canonized.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful. And epic. And well written.
You are a bloody genius.

I have a sudden mental image of Rainbow coming in in the middle of Twilight cleaning up.
Whoa, Twilight, what happened here?
Just...trying my hoof at speed reading?
Uhh...okay.
W...what was this?
*gulp* Umm...a spider...
S-s-s-s-s-SPIDER!
Rainbow! What's gotten into you?
Hate spiders hate spiders hate hate hate spiders...
R-really?
Why do you think I pay three times the normal housing rate to have a cloud house in an earth pony town? Those air zoning fees aren't cheap!
D-don't tell anyone, okay? Fluttershy's the only one who knows, and-
Don't worry, I won't.
Umm...truth is...
That's why the mess...
Did...did you get them all?
Umm...I don't know...
...next time, just swing by my place. You can crash with me till Fluttershy talks them all out. *shudders* Can't imagine why, but she loves the things.
*shudder* She's braver than I could have imagined...
Rainbow sees the smear.
Rainbow leaps into the air, snags the first object that comes to hand, and proceeds to smash the smear repeatedly with all her might until Twilight stops her.
Points to smear.
I love how you took a simple task so small and menial and turned it into an epic fight for survival.
soz no better Quality... ;_;
P.S. try watching the movie its really good!
Are you sure you got Aragog? He might have just retreated to a forest to prepare his army of arachnid warriors, and grown to the size of a horse! At least, that's what Hagrid's Aragog did, I think. It's been awhile.
Meanwhile. . .
