Loki and I

Nightmare Night at Canterlot Castle Part 1 (S1 E13)

I hang upside from the ceiling lights in front of Loki's cell. Unlike before, however, I have taken the time to fly up and tie my tail to the light, so now I'm dangling from it, slightly swaying. It hurts like hell.

I have a black, raggy cape wrapped around myself like a bat, gravity somehow not pulling it down like my mane. My tongue runs over the plastic, fake fangs poking out of my mouth. They're making me drool, for Celestia's sake, it's gross.

I crept in while Loki was asleep, then turned all the lights off except for the one in his cell and am now hiding in the shadows. He's been awake for a few minutes now, flicking through the pages of that book and 'ehehehe'ing lightly. I'll admit, it does look a little cute.

Time to ruin the moment.

I decide to break the quiet and whisper creepily; "Nightmare night..."

Loki's head perks up from the book. "H-hello?" he calls lightly.

"What a fright..." I continue.

Loki sets the book down and stands up. "Who's there?" He says warily, pacing slowly around the cell. "Show yourself!"

"Give me something sweet to..." I whisper, then at the last word, lunge out at him, "BITE!"

Loki screams like a boy who hasn't gone through puberty yet, jumping back. I slam into the glass, then get pulled back by my tail and swing like a spider. Suddenly, my tail unfurls itself and I fall face first to the ground with a splat. I let out a groan. "What on earth?" Loki breathes incredulously.

I jump up and turn to him. "Did I scare ya? Did I, did I, did I?" I ask quickly, my fake fangs slipping out of my mouth and landing on the ground. I plaster an over the top, fake smile at him.

Loki folds his arms, rolling his eyes. "No, you didn't."

I give him a 'bitch please' face. "Yeah I did," I argue.

"No," he protests.

"Yes."

"No"

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"No. Wait-"

Loki 'ehehehe's at me. I send a glare at him. "Why did you try to, anyway?" He inquires.

"Because, duh, it's Nightmare Night tonight! I'm going into a Ponyville to celebrate with Zoe," I explain, skipping around in circles excitedly. "We're gonna go around to ponies' houses and knock on their doors and get free candy."

"Aren't you a little old for that?" Loki smirks.

I gasp loudly. "Too old for free candy? NEVER!" I scream. Loki purses his lips. "Hey! I have an idea."

Loki face palms. "Oh, no," he mumbles under his breath.

"Wanna come?" I offer.

"No," Loki replies instantly.

"Aw, why not? Free candy. Think of the free candy!" I try to persuade, tracing a hoof on the patterned gold floor. "There's gonna be candy and games and fun and candy!"

He sighs slowly. "You're not going to leave me alone unless I come, are you?"

"Yeah, that's about right," I reply, standing up.

He growls under his breath. "Fine," he mumbles. "But I don't have anything to go as."

"Don't worry, you have a scary face," I reply, leaning forward and squinting at him.
