A foals imagination is an amazing thing. They can mistake the simplest of things for monsters or other scary things. So, when Twilight Sparkle comes rushing to Princess Cadance saying there's a monster in her bedroom, it's only natural that they figure out a way to defeat it.

To spooky!
Great work my dude and your proof readers to.
And the cover art is really well Done so much floff!
Nooo you can’t leave it like that it was getting good
8648574 As it says in the description, it was a 30 minute writing exercise. Though, I guess I can do a bonus chapter.
Label it horror too?
Great story! Have your tenth like!
8648636 I want the ending to be a surprise! ^_^
What a fun read! >w<
Nicely done, Vertigo!!
...UM...
Honestly, the scariest part of this story... is the cover art. Again, why did she have to draw Cadence like that?!
8648741
She looks like she has one Bat-wing XD
(Love ya HP : )please don't hurt me)
Spoopy
lol dat ending doe
Oh, that ending is good.
please dont continue it. leave it be.
this is one of those instances that the reader is left to fill in the blank and year for more.

I'm thrilled you both liked the ending! I took inspiration from Goosebumps with it.
8648701 Thank you!
8649026 Secretly, I stole the idea from your head!
8648570 Thank you very much!
8648565 Glad you think so.
8648740 That's what Cadance probably thought too.
8648741 Eh, I like it.
8648897 Sadly never read it. Glad you thought of King while reading one of my stories though. I feel honored... at least, I hope you thought of it in a good way.
8649131 This is something I'm very torn on now. I was gonna do a bonus chapter, but so many people seem to like the ending that now I'm thinking I shouldn't because I don't wanna ruin the story. And I do agree, I think that the ending works much better without elaborating upon it. Odds are, I'll post a blog about it at some point in the near future. Glad you liked it though!
..and then Cadance love-nuked the monster and they cuddled.
A precious story, with a hilarious ending.
8648570
THANK YOU.
All the daaw!
And so Cadance and Twilight were brutally devoured in a gory spectacle because they didn't have a stuffed tiger to save them.

In a world of magic, or in the world of reality, only fools deny the existence of monsters.
...and then Cadance detonated the house.
I agree with those that say leave it be, but on the same token i'd love to see more. Perhaps maybe down the road when you come up with an idea to make it work without taking away from this story. Overall, excellent work
8649155
Nice.
8649380
No problem.
I'll admit that I have little experience in the subject, but I personally was expecting a bit different when I saw the "Slice of Life" tab. Like, something more genuinely heartwarming, and not so much scary plot twist. Maybe add a "Horror" tag too?
There is only a Slice of Life tag but there really is a monster? I don’t understand where you are really going with this.

The ending is supposed to be a surprise.
That was so cute!
that was a horrifying ending... actually felt a little nervous toward it.
8650354
Yes, but coming like this, without proper tagging, this comes rather out of the blue and randomly to me. I think it’s not clear what you have exactly written this for. People comes here for a slice of life story, not for creeps.
8650810 ... fair enough. I've had a few people already mention it, I might as well do so. Thank you, and I hope you enjoyed the story.
8650831
I did. The part with Cadance comforting Twilight is cute, and the red eyes at the end leave things open for imagination.
8650839 Woo-hoo! Glad you enjoyed it. :) Also, great profile picture of best princess.
Well, that was a twist I didn't expect.
OH CRAP
There is a corollary: Our bad memories get worse as we get older
8651899
I seriously imagined Darth Vader. "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
8650322
You mean you've never seen the bogeyman?
8653071
I like the idea of Candace taking a no nonsense approach to bogeymen and other bedroom terrors like Susan Sto Helit
8651086 Heh. Honestly, I wasn't expecting so many people to enjoy the ending. Glad that people did though!
8650764 Well, I feel accomplished.
8651226 Indeed.
8652124 Ooooh. Neat comparison. I'm flattered.
8651899 And in Cadance's case... her imagination just got quite the awakening.
Neat ending!
And then, when Twilight Velvet and Night Light came home, Cadance had to explain to them why the Royal Guard was outside their house, and why there was a huge gaping hole where their living room once was.
i can imagine monsters like this being lunas job to deal with, before her banishment
So cute, loved it!
*Loud screaming before I realize they're just the red taillights of a car*
LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME!
8887083 Just wait until you read the sequel.
This evening, I give unto you your 200th like. Congratulations, colleague.
You can has review!
She had taste. :)
