The Living Creepypasta

Light rain began to fall from the black sky above. The light from the moon could only be seen through the thin, foggy clouds. Apple Bloom sat underneath Scootaloo's porch, waiting for her to open the front door. Applejack stood beside her carrying on about how to behave at a friend's house.

"Now, ah know thas ahsn't your first sleepovah, but ah do wanna remand ya ta be good ovah here at your friend's house. Listen ta har parents, and be sure ta use ya mannahs." Apple Jack lectured.

"Alright, alright. Ah git it." Apple Bloom mumbled.

The creaky door opened. The orange pegasus filly stood inside, the left hoof on the doorknob. Turning her head to see who it was, she gasped with excitement.

"Apple Bloom! I'm so glad you made it!" She said, fluttering her wings.

"Me too!" The country pony chirped happily.

The two fillies began to walk inside, but Applejack stopped her younger sister. "Woah now, silleh filleh! Dan't ferget yoah sleepi'n bag."

"Oh, thanks AJ!" Apple Bloom said, grabbing her old, brown leather suitcase.

"Ah'll be back tamarrow to pick you up, alright?"

"I git it, AJ. Bye!"

"Bye, and have fun."

The wooden front door closed, and Scootaloo immediately ran to her bedroom, with Apple Bloom not far behind her.

"Wow! Cool bedroom, Scoot!"

"Thanks." The pegasus pony replied, looking at a poster of Rainbow Dash on her wall.

"Wow! You really do admire Rainbow. She's like, your idol or something." Apple Bloom let out a small chuckle.

"She can be like that, sure. But it's hard to resist when she's totally awesome!" Scootaloo replied, still looking at the poster.

"When's Sweetie supposed tah git here?" Apple Bloom looked at the clock on Scootaloo's wall. It read 9:15.

"I think the rain's holding her up." Scootaloo turned her head towards her bedroom window.

"It's not raining that hard." Apple Bloom replied.

"Now it is. Look outside!" Scootaloo responded.

Like her pegasus friend said, it was now raining much heavier than before. The two fillies couldn't see the rain very well, but they could certainly hear it. Wind howled as the rain poured onto the ground. At once a flash of lightning illuminated the sky, a loud roll of thunder quickly following it through the sky.

"W- what was that?" Scootaloo stared out the window, sounding frightened.

"Yah aren't gonna pull another trick on meh." Apple Bloom said, remembering the other day at school when Scootaloo was being a prankster like Rainbow Dash. Apple Bloom had been sitting at her desk, when Scootaloo said she saw the Slendermane outside. Apple Bloom had believed her, and when she turned her head to look at the window, Scootaloo had burst into laughter.

"What's so funny?" She remembered asking, and hearing Scootaloo reply "You looked! I made you look! Ha ha ha!"

Apple Bloom shook her head to clear her mind of how gullible she was.

"No- this isn't a trick. I could've sworn I saw a shadow of a pony of there-" Scootaloo continued.

"Probably our shadow... if you even saw anything at all."

"It was from back there, Apple Bloom. It couldn't have been from any of us. And what other ponies would be out in this weather, anyway?"

"Scoot, stahp try'n tah scare meh, 'cause it ain't work'n."

"I told you, I am being serious."

"Okay, what did the shadow exactly look like?"

"A short pony with a huge head- and it had really short hair, too. And there was really fat hooves."

"Oh my gosh, it's a scary monster! Run fer your life, Scootaloo." Apple Bloom didn't understand why her friend was carrying on with such a ridiculous topic.

"Stop the sarcasm, Apple Bloom."

"That's what ah'm ask'n you to-"

There was a knock at the door.

Scootaloo's dad went to go answer it. The two fillies peeked out Scootaloo's bedroom door to see who it was. Scootaloo's heart raced as she awaited the answer. They couldn't exactly tell who or what it was.

"Thanks, sir! Bye, Rarity!" A familiar voice squeaked.

The two fillies sighed from relief, although mostly Scootaloo, when they realized it was Sweetie Belle.

"Hey guys!" The pony said, sitting down in the bedroom.

"Hey."

"Howdy."

Sweetie Belle was wearing a rain jacket with matching rain boots, and a huge rain hat on her head. They were all probably made by Rarity.

Apple Bloom chuckled. "So is that the shadow?"

"What do you mean?" Scootaloo asked, not understanding.

"She has on boots and a hat. Sweetie was most likely the shadow of the small pony with the fat hooves and big head you just saw outside." Apple Bloom explained.

"Is that a fat joke?" The unicorn asked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion.

"No, Sweetie Belle. Right before you got here I saw a shadow like that. Your extra accessories make your silhouette look different than it would if you weren't wearing them. But still, it doesn't seem right." Scootaloo began to ponder.

The ponies remained silent. Then, Scootaloo decided to bring up another topic. "Hey guys, how about we go get some snacks? I'm hungry, and you guys must be really hungry!"

"But it's past nine already!" Apple Bloom responded.

"But this is a sleepover! What fun is it if we can't have late night snacks!" Scootaloo replied.

"Sure. Why not?" Apple Bloom sighed, changing her mind.

Sweetie Belle shook her head in agreement.

"Alright! Let's go to the kitchen." Scootaloo said, taking her friends through to the next room.
