A quiet Friday night at the Canterlot household of Twilight Velvet, her husband Night Light, and her son Shining Armor is interrupted by a bad nightmare. Twilight Velvet deals with it using motherly love, cuddles, and a dose of encouragement.
A long overdue request from Dyslexic Foal.
Glad to see you back, my brother. Keep being awesome.

D'awww, always making my day
Behind her, in the darkness of the bedroom closet, the mother monster turned from peeking out the door and scurried back to her little monster, tucked into one of the Terrible Unicorn's winter socks.
"Shushh, shushh. Don't cry, my little monster," she whispered. "The Terrible Unicorn was just having a bad dream, and the Terrible Mommy had to come scare it away."
Stifling a wet sniff, the little monster asked in a quavery voice, "Can you quick catch the bad dreams before theys gets away? I didn't get a bedtime snack before bedtime."
"A wonderful idea," whispered the mother monster. "You stay right there, and I'll go track it down. I'll bet there's enough for both of us to get a bedtime snack out of it."
This reminds me a lot of the song 'Goodnight Demonslayer' by Voltaire. That's not a bad thing.

Is it wrong that this was the first thing I thought of?

That's the first thing I thought of when I read the description of the monster.

Well, that's certainly an interesting way to deal with monsters.
Not bad, I like Twilight Velvet but I like her more here than in the show and Shining as a little kids usually works better for me than some kind of macho Soldier Captain Shining Armor. I think I'm not the biggest fan of how he is often written and I only like Cadance a little bit in the show, but not Shining Armor that much.
...you shouldn't give your foals LSD, Mrs. Velvet.
This would make a great jumping off point for a Chrysalis/Shining Armor romance. Start them off scared of each other, work them up to a confrontation. "Wow! She/he was as scared as I was?!?" From there, friendship blossoms as they spend time together. Love, ever a patient and delicate thing, tales it's time to set down roots and grow. Blah blah bah, it ends in oviposition.
Dicking around aside (ha ha), how many times have both Shining and Chrissy been willing partners in a relationship? It could work...
I would totally use that "They're hiding there because they're scared of you" bit with a kid that was afraid of monsters. I honestly can't believe I've never heard it used before. We do it with animals, why not monsters under the bed and/or in the closet?
very sweet thank you
Now I am imagining Velvet as an Equestrian Susan Sto Helit...

Oh, my mistake. Some Inspector, huh?

I wouldn't worry about that too much. You like dragons, you're a geek, what more does anybody really need to know about you?
Aww, too cute! I'm surprised I've never heard this little spin on monsters in the closet. But still, it's very sweet and heartwarming. Well done, as always!
That is adorable! I want a sequel with Shining Armor helping Twilight Sparkle with a bad dream.

D'aww = over 9000
Nice Work
