30 Minutes of TwiDash

(The Prompt (by anonymous): Twilight and Rainbow Dash are watching a horror movie)

Horror Movie

Five teenage ponies went on a camping trip to the dark side of the Everfree Forest, ending up running for their lives being chased by an insane stallion wearing a scary hockey mask and weilding a rusty and incredibly noisy chainsaw. After a quite long run it just seemed like they finally managed to escape their pursuer when all of a sudden, accompanied by a very dramatic sound effect, the murdurous earth pony unexpectedly rose behind one of the teenage mares, stabbed her through her back and out her belly and ripped her open.

Twilight gasped in shock, and would most certainly have screamed if her voice wouldn’t suddenly have been stuck in her throat, and pressed her face against the shoulder of the mare she loved.  With an uneasy expression on her snout and timorously shaking eyes, her unsettled glances searched for her marefriend's soothing magenta orbs.

“Awww, c’mon Twi, it’s not that bad, is it?” Rainbow Dash whispered comfortingly into one of the unicorn’s flat lying ears, gently wrapping a hoof and a warm and comfortable wing around her terrified marefriend. “I mean it’s just a movie. It’s not likely something like that would ever happen in Ponyville,” she sincerely commented, her eyes still fixed upon the violent action taking place right in front of the couple as she took the straw in her mouth and continued to sip on her soda.

“Even if we are living pretty close to the Everfree...” The pegasus said after a few seconds with a mischievous grin on her muzzle, still sipping the beverage, trying to make a serious and thoughtful expression, or at least avoiding from breaking out in loud laughter.

“That’s not funny Rainbow, I’m really scared!” Twilight wailed in a quivering voice, clasping her marefriend’s hoof and burying her snout even deeper in the daredevil’s blue shoulder. “Why am I even watching this with you?” She whimpered, barely able to glance at the screen.

“Because it’s my turn to pick a movie tonight,” Rainbow Dash almost humourlessly responded with an understanding, but at the same time slightly annoyed tone, pulling the unicorn a bit closer, gently nuzzling her mane and offering her some  popcorn. “I also watched that slushy romance movie with ya’ and didn’t complain about it, didn’t I?” She pointed out after a few moments, then took a big slurp of her drink again.

“That’s something completely different!” Twilight protested sharply, tears reflecting the horror she felt gathering in the corners of her eyes as the head of one of the teenage ponies got chopped off. “It wasn’t something that incredibly terrified you. I mean, I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight!” The unicorn added to her statement, underpinning it with another wince as the stallion waved his chainsaw again, making another mare’s neck yield under the raw force of the rusty tool. Even if she didn’t dare to look at the display anymore, she still was able to hear the terrified screams and insane laughter coming from the television was more than enough to make her whole body tremble in fear. “And besides...,” Twilight hesitantly continued as her shock slowly wore off “...you were complaining the whole time, starting with the opening scene and you didn’t stop until the whole movie was over,” she said with a reproachful tone in her voice, clinging even more to the pegasus’ hoof.

“I wasn’t complaining, I was commenting,” the blue mare retorted dryly, giving Twilight a soft kiss on the forehead. “And if you really can’t go to sleep tonight, I’m sure we’ll find another kind of activity you can enjoy,” She seductively whispered in the unicorn’s ear in front of her muzzle while playfully flicking her tail and pulling the other mare even closer just before she gave her a real kiss.

When their affectionate and desirous dance of tongues broke away again, Twilight unexpectedly felt bad, however not for what she actually said, but for what would come next. Still, the plan was set and after all the harrowing movie scenes she had to endure the past two hours there was no resigning from it.

Inviting the sky blue pegasus into another tender kiss to ensure that she had Rainbow Dash’s full attention, she gave a little sign with the hoof she had wrapped around her marefriend and just a few moments later, three fillies wearing scary hockey masks like the insane stallion in the movie jumped up in front of the couple, making clamorous and horrifying noises they rehearsed for days.

As she caught sight of the creepy creatures standing right in front of her at the same time the slaughterer in the movie killed the last survivor of the small group, Rainbow Dash’s heart jumped. Shrieking in terror, she forgot about anything else, jumped up from the couch and dashed off like lightning. However, her panicked attempt to escape the alleged monsters resulted in nothing else than her snout hitting the sturdy wall besides the library’s wooden door.

The blunt sound of the pegasus crashing against the paneling echoing through the library was followed by a wild laugher coming from the other side of the room. “That was Scoots and the gang, right?” Rainbow Dash asked through wood after a few seconds with her face deeply buried in the wall and her wings slightly twitching as the pain from the quite hard impact was slowly making its way through her body.

“Yep!” Twilight happily confirmed her marefriend’s assumption with a giggle and a wide smile on her muzzle after she had made sure that the other mare wasn’t actually injured before she turned towards the dressed up ponies. “Thank you girls, you did a really awesome job,” she smirked in satisfaction, giving them a box of candies they definitely deserved.

“Cutie Mark Crusader Scary Monsters! Yay!” The three fillies shouted in unison, hopefully looking at their blank flanks. However, most probably for the best of Rainbow Dash and any other pony in town, none of them received their cutie mark that night.
