Loki and I

Nightmare Night at Canterlot Castle Part 3 (S1 E15)

"Uh..." I mumble, taking a step back. "Rainbow Dash..."

"Been a long time, chicken wings!" She sneers.

Behind her are two ponies, one stallion with a brown, spiky mane and white fur with red devil horns on his head, holding one of those small devil's pitchfork thingies. Can't guess who he's going as...

It's Lightning Strike, Rainbow's faithful sidekick who just loved to taunt me the most with her when I was a foal.

Next to him is a mare, looking like she's in her early teens. She has orange fur and a short, purple mane. She has a rainbow coloured wig on and a picture of a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of it, resembling to Rainbow Dash's cutie mark, taped to her flank. I don't recognise her, but she dressed up as Rainbow Dash. Uh... why?

I gulp. "What are you doing here? You aren't even dressed up," I say, voice shaky.

"Going as me, I'm awesome!" She boasts, putting a hoof on her chest proudly.

I snort, "Not quite the words I was looking for," I mutter to myself. Unfortunately Rainbow Dash heard.

"Well, just look at your lame costume! It's so ugly!" She barks, landing on the ground and stepping forward, making me step back.

"Did you go as yourself?" The orange pegasus smirks. Ouch.

The trio snicker at this remark, Rainbow Dash high hoofs her. "Apply cold water to that burn, Scoots!"

"Why not?" Says Strike, who managed to sneak up behind me while Rainbow Dash and 'Scoots' were distracting me. Because the next thing he does is tip the whole bowl full of icy cold punch onto my head, making me squeal in shock.
The three guffaw in laughter as I stand there, mane drenched, some of the drink trickling patronisingly down my collar.

The orange pegasus yanks the treat bag from my wing, making me yelp in pain. She starts tipping the candy out, throwing it around the room carelessly. "Quit it! I worked hard for that!" I shout, reaching out to tackle the young mare, but Rainbow comes up to me and flips my cape over my head so I can't see and starts wrapping it around my head. "Hey! Stop it!" I cry, stepping around blindly for balance.

Suddenly, someone steps on a loose part of the cape, pulling me down, so I pull back, trying to get my head back up because the cape is suffocating me and I can't breathe. I'm literally gasping for air, trying to pull myself free, hot tears forming in my eyes, the horrible sounds of laughter taunting me.

"Whatcha gonna do, freaky chicken?" Rainbow jeers, "Buck, buck, buck-aaa!"

Abruptly, I hear a loud *RIIIIIIP*! I fall backwards on my back, unwrapping the cape from my head and taking a huge gulp of air, before leaning on one elbow to see if Rainbow Dash is there. I gasp in shock. My cape... they ripped it!

They've ruined my costume, and might as well have ruined my whole night!

Some other ponies either ignore us or just watch, not doing anything. "Look what you did!" I sniffle.

"Aw, wittle baby chicken gonna cry?" Lightning says mockingly, which only makes me want to punch him. "Then cry."

I bite my lip, trying to stop myself from doing it. The tears in my eyes are blurry, but the figures of the three bullies are still present, chanting, "Cry! Cry! Cry!" I hang my head, on the brink of bawling my eyes out. When suddenly...

I hear two loud clops in front of me and look up, eyes to be greeted with Loki's pony butt. It makes me breathe out a little 'ha' laugh, but then I realise. Loki's butt! It's in front of me. Meaning...
