"I can't believe we're going to be sleeping over at Twilight's castle!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed. "I'm so excited!" "I know! I can't wait to brag at school to everypony about it!" Exclaimed Scootloo. When the three fillies approached the castle, Apple Bloom knocked on one of the big doors. "Twilight?" She said. The door was opened by a familiar purple alicorn. "Come on in, girls, I have planned something very special we can do!" Twilight welcomed the fillies in. She walked over to the library, where she placed four cushions in the center. She took a seat on one of them. "I going to tell you all scary stories for the rest of the night!" "...Stories?" Scootaloo questioned. Disappointment was displayed on the three fillies' faces. Twilight's face softened. "Come on, it'll be fun!" "Well, I guess we could give it a try," Sweetie Belle said. "Yeah, there's no scary story that could scare me!" Scootaloo said. "Scary stories don't scare me either!" Sweetie Belle announced confidently. "Yeah, we'll probably be asleep by then," Apple Bloom said. "If you say so," Twilight chuckled. " If you can make it through the night without running away, I'll give you a reward!" Twilight got a big, dusty old book, and began to read from it. Once upon a time, there was a village. In that village, was a small, curious filly. Her name was Blue Light. One day, Blue Light went in a nearby forest close to the village to play. No animals had lived or came near the forest, and Blue Light wondered why, so she set off into the forest. The trees there were spooky and scary, and the air was dead still. A pair of red eyes stared right back at her. But of course, Blue Light found this thrilling. She was lucky to be found by a lumberjack, the only ponies who dared enter the beginning of the forest. Blue Light was lucky to be rescued home. "Don't go into the forest again," her mother warned her. "There is danger that lurks around, especially in the night." But Blue Light did not heed to her mother's warnings. One night, while every pony in the village was asleep, Blue Light snuck into the forest. She found it fascinating and exciting. Suddenly, she heard the sound of hoovesteps approaching her. "Hello?" Blue Light asked. "Is anypony there?" There was no answer. Blue Light began to grow a little nervous and scared. The wind howled through the trees. The wind was so strong, she could hear a voice calling her name. "Blue light...." Blue Light walked backwards, and sat down against a tree. She whimpered from fear. "Blue Light..." The voice said again. "Blue Light.... You shouldn't have come here... Now, they're coming for you..." Before Blue Light could have a thought, something lunged forward, and she screamed. Next morning in the village, Blue Light's mother could not find Blue Light. But Blue Light's mother knew just where she had gone, the forest. A group of six brave villagers went into the forest in search of Blue Light. "Blue light!" They called. "Blue Light!" But no answer. They searched, and searched, but Blue Light was nowhere to be found, and the sun was starting to set. "We must return to the village," one of the villagers said. "The night is approaching." "But we must find Blue Light," another villager argued. "If you want to go, you go, but we are staying here." Two villagers decided to leave, while the rest stayed. The night finally came. The four villagers sound the sound of dripping, they saw a trail of blood. They followed the trail, and found a pool of blood, so much blood. The wind howled through the trees, just like on the night when Blue Light was there. "Blue Light?" One of the villagers asked. The filly was dead. They found out where the sound of the dripping came from. The was blood dripping off from a branch of a tree that was near the filly's corpse. But before the villagers could react, the tree lunged for them, and crushed them until their hearts stopped beating. Ever since then, nopony ever dared go into the forest at night. "So, what did you think of that?" Twilight asked. She could see that Sweetie Belle was practically shivering, and hid behind her tail. "Are you scared, Sweetie Belle?" Twilight asked. "N-no," Sweetie Belle replied. "Come on, Sweetie Belle," Scootaloo began. "It wasn't even that scary, it was kinda boring, actually." "Yeah, Apple Bloom agreed. "It didn't even scare me one bit. Getting through this night's gonna be easy!" "On to the next story!" Twilight announced, On a dark, stormy night, a little filly got lost in a forest. Legends say that on a full moon, the spirits of the forest will rise. It was a full moon when the filly was in the forest. She did not know the legend, and went farther into the woods, where the evils spirits are. A strong wind had swept up the leaves, and blew the leaves in a big circle around the filly, and it was frightening her. The moon shined directly on her, and she screamed. The next day, her older sister, Orchard Blossom, went looking for her. "Pink Marble!" She called. "Where are you?" But Orchard Blossom could not find her sister, and it was getting dark, so she had to return home. But before she moved, Orchard Blossom heard the sound of hoovesteps. "Pink Marble?" She called hesitantly. No reply. Orchard Blossom cautiously stepped forward to the sound. She heard moans, and she saw her sister coming, coming for her. Blood was all over her, dripping on the ground, making a pool of blood. Orchard Blossom screamed, and ran for her life, Pink Marble followed her. But Orchard Blossom, had tripped on a branch, and tumbled down. Her leg was injured, and she couldn't run anymore. The moans got closer, and Pink Marble- Apple Bloom screamed, interrupting the story. "Are you okay, Apple Bloom?" Twilight asked. "I-I'm okay," Apple Bloom replied shivering. "Could ya move on to the next story, please?" "But I haven't finished this story yet," Twilight replied. "Well, that story's kinda boring," Apple Bloom replied, suddenly acting confident. "Because I'm not even scared of that story, and I'll probably fall asleep, so could ya tell a more scarier story, please?" "Alright," Twilight said. She put the big book away. "I know a very special scary story I want to tell you." On a night like this, there were three fillies who were best friends. One as named Speedy Fly, an adventurous pegasus who enjoyed riding scooters. Another was named Sweet Song, a filly who was sweet, and loved to sing. The last one was named Apple Pie, a filly who was from the countryside, and loved apples. One night, they decided to tell scary stories to each other. "My story's more scarier than yers!" Apple Pie said. "No, mine is!" Speedy Fly argued. "My story's so scary, that you'll scream out of fear!" Sweet Song said. As the three fillies argued, they did not notice something behind them. It had evil purple glowing eyes, and razor sharp claws and teeth. It was huge, and green. The creature was known as the Boogy Monster. The Boogy Monster ate little fillies and colts. Especially on dark nights when they tell each other scary stories. The Boogy Monster snuck up on them, and opened his huge mouth, drool was pouring our from it, and landed on Apple Pie's head. "W-what was that?" Apple Pie asked hesitantly. The three fillies were literally shaking. "W-what h-happens next?" Sweetie Belle asks. But before Twilight could answer, a huge, green creature with purple eyes, and sharp claws and teeth snuck up on the fillies and yelled, "BOOOO!" "AHHHH!" The fillies screamed, and ran for their lives. The creature took of its mask, to reveal a certain purple and green dragon. Twilight fell down the floor, laughing, and Spike did too. "What?" The fillies asked in unison, confused. When they approached Twilight again, and found out that Spike had dressed up as the Boogy Monster, Scootaloo said, "you guys pranked us?" "Oh, we did, it was a big surprise I planned for you," Twilight answered. "Wow, you got us good!" Scootaloo said. "I never would guessed that the Boogy Monster was actually just Spike in a costume!" "Yeah, Sweetie Belle said. "Too bad we don't get the reward though." "Oh, it's fine, you can have the reward anyways," Twilight said. "Stay here." She trotted into her kitchen, and took out a bag of s'mores. When she came back, she said, "s'mores for everypony!" Twilight, Spike, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom all ate s'mores, and told scary stories to each other.
