Equestrian Warriors

(Earlier That Day)

Gumdramon and Twilight are walking towards the front door of the castle, Spike following right behind them.

"Are you sure you'll be okay watching the girls? We might be gone for a few hours." Twilight asked.

"Psh, piece of cake! I took care of all of your girls pets remember?" Spike replied, striking a confident pose as he walked.

"Yeah, but these are three hyperactive fillies in a large, crystal castle. I don't think it'll be that easy."

Spike reminisces about the time he and had to chase the CMC and pets to the Crystal Empire and back without Twilight or the girls noticing. "Oh, I think I can manage..." He said, sweat falling down the side of his head.

"Well alright. They should be here right abo-"

*DING DONG*

Gumdramon opens the door and the three fillies rushed in.

"Howdy Twilight! Thanks for lettin' us stay here while y'all take care of that mysterious pony messing with our farm!" Apple Bloom said, walking by her.

"Wished I could go, but Rainbow Dash said I wasn't old enough. I would've taken it the hard way, but since it was Rainbow Dash it's fine!" Scootaloo explained, following behind Apple Bloom.

Sweetie Belle walks by her as well, but in a nervous way. "Yeah, it'll be a lot of fun hanging out together with..." She looks over at Spike, blushing a little and lovingly looks at him. "Spike... I-I mean ice cream! Hanging out together eating delicious ice cream!" She quickly shouted, intensely blushing in embarrassment.

"Well just don't eat too much. It is a school night and I don't want you to miss any educational wonders." Twilight cheered, smiling at the thought of education. The CMC and Spike roll their eyes and shake their heads.

"You two better hurry to Sweet Apple Acres. I mean, you wouldn't want to be... late!" Spike said, smirking at Twilight.

"OH MY GOODNESS!!!" Twilight immediately teleports her and Gumdramon away.

"Alright! No adults, kids only party!" Scootaloo cheered, jumping in the air with a raised hoof.

"Well four isn't really a party. It's more of a hangout to be honest." Sweetie Belle said, causing Scootaloo to sigh and land beside her.

"Sweetie... you're bumming me out." She said, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Uh... Spike! What's on the list of activities?" Apple Bloom asked, trying to change the subject.

"Oh, well I rented some movies at Blockbuckers. Follow me to the library!" He gestures them to follow as he walks down the hall. The others follow behind.

Unknowing to them, the front door is crack open. Little claws grab the door and slowly open the door a little more.

Everyone is looking through the selection of movies, Scootaloo looking pretty displeased. Apple Bloom keeps choosing the comedies and Sweetie keeps choosing the musicals. Scootaloo looks over at the other side of the room, seeing another box. She walks over and looks in it, looking surprised and amazed.

"Whoa! What are these movies?!" She shouted in fascination.

"Huh?" Spike walks over, looking into the box as well. "Oh, these are some of Gumdramon's movies he brought with him from other worlds. I think he said this one was mostly horrors." He explained, looking at some of film reels.

"I wanna watch... this one!" She exclaimed, pulling out a film reel with the title "Poltergeist" written on a piece of tape on its side.

"Eh, I don't know Scoots. Weren't ya scared of Rainbow's campfire stories?" Apple Bloom interjected.

"Yeah, but movies are different. I can't explain it, but I can handle horror movies way better for some reason. So, what do you say Apple Bloom? Can YOU handle it?" Scootaloo asked with a sly smirk.

"Oh, you're on! Spike, load it up!" Apple Bloom shouted, forcefully handing him the film reel.

"Uh... are you okay with this Sweetie Belle?" He asked her, a drip of sweat falling down his forehead.

"I-I... uh..." Sweetie Belle stopped for a second, thinking about the situation. "Wait, this is a horror movie. And I'll get scared by watching it. Which means I'll need... a strong dragon to comfort me. And I'll cuddle up next to him. Embracing each other during the scariest part and I'll look into his eyes and he'll look into mine... and... and..."

"Uh, S-Sweetie Belle?" Spike waves his claw in front of her face.

She shakes her head, blushing intensely. "Y-Yeah! Let's watch it!"

"Oh, well alright then!" He shrugs and happily walks to the projector and gets it ready.

(Later During the Movie)

The room is almost completely dark, the only thing lighting it is the screen and projector itself. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are sitting next to each other on the left side of the couch, shaking a little. Sweetie Belle and Spike are sitting next to each other on the right side of the couch. Sweetie Belle is quaking in fear, covering her eyes most of the time.

"Hey, are you okay?" Spike whispered to her, leaning a little close to her.

Sweetie Belle shakes her head, clearly too scared to say anything. Nervously, Spike scoots a little closer to her and goes to hold her hoof. The screen flashes bright and a scared scream echoes through the room. Sweetie Belle immediately, without thinking, leans over to Spike and wraps her forelegs around him, holding him close. Spike intensely blushes, lifting his arms up, not sure what to do with them. Sweetie Belle nuzzles her face in his chest as the movie continued to make scary noises and screaming.

"S-Sweetie Belle..." He thought to himself as he nervously pets her mane. She calms down a little and her grip on him loosens.

She lifts up her head, looking into his eyes. "Spike..." She thinks to herself as she slowly moves her head closer to his, her cheeks burning red hot.

Suddenly, the projector falls over, causing everyone to jump and fall off the couch. Spike lifts himself up, seeing Sweetie Belle under him. He blushes really hard and quickly gets up.

"W-What was that?" He asked, helping her up.

"No, what is THAT?!?!?!" Scootaloo points at the projector.

A shadowy figure standing in front of the lens, the light blinding them from seeing what the figure looked like. The figure quickly runs off, slamming the library door. Spike and the girls quickly bust through the door, looking for the figure. Its footsteps loudly echoed through the halls, making it hard to tell where it went.

"This way!" Spike shouted, pointing to the staircase.

The figure's feet can be seen disappearing at the very top. They all chase after it upstairs, seeing it entire one of the rooms. Without warning, the four bust through the door, seeing three shadowy figure in the dark. Spike turns on the light, revealing a charmander, pikachu, and oshowatt.

"Uh... hey?" The charmander said, waving a hand with a drip of sweat on the side of his head.
