This is the story of a girl, who went to comic con dressed as her favorite arachnid hero. While she was there though, she meets a strange merchant, along with two other people. When she touches some of the merchant's wares, though, she feels herself start to change. Before she knows it, she is transported to another world, and instead of her cosplaying, she actually is the character for real. Now she has to figure out how to return home, while dealing with ponies who are deathly afraid of her.

This story takes place at the same time as my other story Dewott just happened, as well as another story that will be started in the future.

Lastly changed rating to teen due to language.

The elegent spider

This is a story all about me.

Hello there dearie, I guess that want to hear how I went from being a normal girl, to a six armed terror. Take a seat. Even though my story may not take long, it is surprising enough to knock you off of your feet.

It all started a week before my transformation. I was known in my school as an amazing makeup artist. Unfortunately I lost a bet, and as a result I had to go to comic con when it started up the next week. The catch was that I had to cosplay as a character of someone else’s choice for the convention. In the end, I was forced to dress as the character Muffet from Undertale who, unfortunately for me, is a spider. Before I transformed I was deathly afraid of spiders, and would squash them on sight, but now I’ve learned to enjoy their company.

Anyway, at the convention I was having a marvelous time. I received many compliments on my costume, and especially my makeup. Some people even offered to pay me to help them with their makeup the next time they cosplayed! The punishment quickly became enjoyable, and I found many fun accessories that I didn’t have for my costume, like a nice little teapot and teacup. However the convention went by too quickly for my liking, and my wallet became lighter every hour I was there. Before I knew it, the last day of the convention had come, and was drawing to a close. I had decided to browse the stalls other people had set up, but I couldn’t find anything of interest. However, just as I was about to leave, something caught my eye.

There was one stall that I had almost missed I had spotted on my way towards the exit. Standing in the booth was a man dressed like the merchant or Xur, or whatever his name was, and there was a person who looked like a cross between a terminator, and a Pokemon. What caught my eye though, was a beautiful pink ribbon sitting next to a green stone, cut in the shape of a triangle, and two nice looking shells. I walked up to the booth and picked up the ribbon, examining it carefully. It was soft, and felt like it was made of silk. The shade of pink was bright enough to be easily noticed, but not too bright to be distracting. I looked at the ribbon in a trance like state, until the booth owner spoke up

“I notice that you three have taking a likening to my wares.”

I looked to my left to see someone wearing clothing that was nothing short of green. If you looked up the work green in the dictionary, you would find a picture of that girl wearing that costume. The merchant spoke up again

“The each item is twenty dollars, if you wish to purchase them.”

My face fell immediately, when I realized that I only had five left in my wallet, which I would need to be able to get a ticket home. I looked around, and saw the same sad look on the faces of the other two people who are standing around me. The merchant notices this, and says

“I understand if you cannot afford these items, but would you please take a pose, it would warm my heart to see someone using my items.”

I smile happily at the chance to try the ribbon on, and tie it around my neck, just like it’s worn in the game, while the Pokemon picks up the two shells, and holds them like their weapons, and the other person places the gem on her forehead. The man lets out a happy sigh. Suddenly, i feel movement in my arms, the fake ones that I had attached to me at the waist and hip. Then I noticed, that all five of my eyes were blinking as well. What did I do when I noticed this? I did what any sane person would do in this situation, I started to freak out, causing the other two people I am with to look at me, as the world slowly faded into darkness

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

That is everything that leads up to this point. Now I am stuck in a rather unusual predicament, I am trapped in a dark forest, in a body that is not my own, in the middle of the night.
“Where am I, and how did I get here?” I say to myself as I push myself up with two of my arms, grab onto the branch of a nearby tree with two others, and rub my head with the last two. When I realize, yet again, that I have more than two working arms, I let out a shriek loud enough to be heard throughout most of the forest.

“I’m a spider, I’m a spider, I’m a spider.” I mutter to myself hysterically. Before I am startled by a sound coming from the forest around me.

“Okay, I’ll get out of the forest first, then I’ll worry about being a spider. That sounds like a much better plan.” I continue to mutter to myself, before a scream, louder than my own can be heard, coming from the direction of the sound that had startled me before. I look around at the foliage, noticing it seems to be more dense in the direction that the scream had come from, and started to lessen in the opposite direction. I stood there and thought for a second, before saying

“Screw it.” And ran in the direction of the scream. I could tell I was on the right path, due to shouts of “Help!”, and “Save me!” and “I’m too young to die!” I picked up the pace, as I heard the sounds of a scuffle, as well as barking. After a few minutes, I could tell I had found the spot where the pleas of help had been coming from, and poked my head out from behind a bush. What I saw was so weird, I though I had gone insane. There was, and I kid you not, what looked like a humanoid pony, with orange fur and wings, and a fuschia tail, and hair, wearing a cyan tank top, with brown cargo pants and a pair of sneakers that were orange and fuchsia, standing on top of a large rock. Around the rock was a group of wolves that had glowing green eyes, and looked like they were made out of wood.
Once my brain recovered from the weirdness overload, I started to figure out a plan as to how I could get the anthropomorphic pony off of the rock, and out of the forest with as little trouble possible. Then I remembered something important. I’m a spider

Author's Note

I have finally figure out how I want to work on my stories. Every week, I will post a chapter on a different story that I am working on, whether it's this one, the sister story that I have already started, the third story in this series, which I have not started, or my Equestria girls story. I will put out a blog post if I miss an upload, and will post this there as well later in the week. Finally, I know this is a long chapter and seems to ramble, but I wanted to get it started and published wo I wouldn't forget to do it later on. Thanks for the support everyone, and I will see you in the next chapter. :moustache:

Just your friendly neighborhood spider

Just your friendly neighborhood spider

“Somepony please help me!” I shout as I try to keep my balance on the rock that is currently saving me from being eaten by the pack of ravenous timber wolves that currently surrounded me, hiding in the darkness of the night.
“Alright, I should be fine, unless they start to climb on top of each other to get to me.” I say to myself as quietly as possible, hoping that the wolves hadn’t heard me. As luck would have it, they did. The wolves had started to snarl amounts themselves, and the one that had started the “discussion” had climbed on the back of another. My eyes went wide, and my mouth hung loosely, as I watched the wolves slowly, but surely, climb on top of each other, creating a staircase that led straight towards me. At this point, I was panicking. The wolves would get me if I jumped off the rock, they would get me if i stayed on the rock, and if I try to buck one of them, I wouldn’t even scratch their wooden exoskeleton. At that moment, I decided to start praying
“Dear Celestia, if I safely get away from these timber wolves, I will do my best to behave, and not accept stupid dares to do things like this in the middle of the night. Your loyal and terrified subject -Scootaloo.”
While she is praying, the timberwolf staircase is completed, leaving the last timber wolf, the one who had the idea for the staircase, has started to climb up towards the young mare. Scootaloo hears the sound of creaking wood, and opens her eyes to see the timberwolf slowly walking towards her. She believes that she is done for, until she hears laughter, and ...music, coming from somewhere to her right.”
“Ahuhuhuh, I spy with my little eyes, something green, brown, and soon to be broken.”
Scootaloo looks back at the timberwolves and sees that the one that had been walking towards her is shaking, while slowly backing away from her, looking this way and that. Then, she hears the voice again, this time coming from her left.
“Ahuhuhuhuh, it seems that the little pup is afraid of spiders. Too bad for him!”
Suddenly, something purple comes flying out of a bush, covering all of the timberwolves, except for the one that had been backing off of the staircase. Then, she hears the voice one last time, this time coming from right above her.
“Ahuhuhuh, it looks like I get to have some fun tonight!”
Then, she spots it. There is a large equine looking spider wearing a blouse with a bow, and has two pigtails, hanging from some more of the purple webbing that was covering the timberwolf staircase. Upon further inspection, Scootaloo notices that the spider also has six arms, and five eyes, all of which are glowing red. The spider rapidly descends from its perch, before landing right in front of her.
“Don’t worry dearie, I’m not going to harm you, but those wolves on the other hand, they are in quite a bit of… trouble.” The spider says, turning her head towards Scootaloo, before looking back at the wolves that have been ensnared in her webbing. She jumps down from the rock, landing right in front of the wolf closest to the base of the rock. She then pulls all of her arms back, and starts throwing punches like it’s noponies business. Each arm throws a punch one after another, timing perfectly so that she has one arm ready to hit a wolf. She shreds straight through each wolf, all of whom are struggling to escape the purple web to try and avoid the fate that had been given to the rest of the members of their pack. No matter how hard they struggle though, the wolves cannot escape their fate.
The spider was just finishing off the last wolf though, when the timberwolf that had managed to get off of the staircase, leaps at her when her back was turned. I tried to warn her, but before i even had the chance to speak, the spider had the wolf pinned to the ground by its neck, before punching a hole straight through its head. The spider brushes off the wood dust that had gotten on her, and started to walk towards me, but by the time she had finished cleaning herself off, I was already standing next to her, thanking her for saving me
“Thank you so much, I wouldn’t have made it if you hadn’t shown up then!”
“It was no problem dearie, but you shouldn’t go out into a forest like this at nighttime, you have no idea what might be out here.”
“Okay, I promise that I won’t, but I’m kinda glad that I did. You were so awesome! You were all like, pow, and wham, and kablooie! You’re almost as cool as Rainbow Dash!”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah!”
“Well then, how about we get you out of this forest, and then you can tell this Rainbow Dash all about your little adventure.”
“Okay, miss...uh what’s your name?”
“I am Miss Muffet, but please, call me Muffet. What is your name little one?”
“I’m Scootaloo!”
“That is a very nice name you have there Scootaloo.”
“Thank you Miss Muffet!”
Scootaloo is beaming at how nice Muffet is, and how she doesn’t treat her like a kid. Meanwhile, Muffet is just as happy, due to the fact that she was able to help the humanoid filly. While they are enjoying the moment though, a bloodcurdling howl is heard throughout the forest. At this Scootaloo lets out a small yelp, while Muffet puts on a look of grim Determination.
“We should get moving, we don’t want the wolves to find us again.” Muffet says to the filly who nods in understanding.
“But where are we going to go to? We’re lost. How are we going to be able to figure out how to get out of here.”
“Dearie, have you forgotten so soon? I’m a spider.”
Muffet says with a grin of amusement as an idea pops into her head.

The elegent spider

I think they noticed

It’s early in the morning on this fine day, and all of ponyville is just starting to wake up. Throughout the town, there is peace and tranquility in the air, that is until a certain pair of girls notice something is amiss.
“Mornin Sweetie Bell.”
“Good morning Applebloom.”
“A’hm gonna go an help applejack make breakfast, could you wake Scootaloo up for me?”
“Sure Applebloom, we’ll be down in a minute.”

Sweetie replies to her friend as she leaves the clubhouse they had been spending the night in. Sweetie Bell turns around to wake her friend up, expecting a challenge from her friend. After all, going into the Everfree at night must be exhausting. But when she spots the sleeping bag her friend had been using is empty, Sweetie Bell is confused. Scootaloo usually slept late on a regular day, much less after a night spent wandering the Everfree or crusading. Then, realization starts to creep its way in, and she bolts out of the door, running to Applebloom’s house as fast as her legs could carry her. When the house is visible, she spots Applebloom still walking towards it.

“Applebloom!”
Sweetie shouts, catching her friends attention, and causing her to turn around. When Sweetie finally catches up, she is out of breath but still tries to force the words out

“Apple *pant* Bloom, I don’t *wheeze* think that Scootaloo *cough* came back to the clubhouse *gasp* last night.”
Applebloom picks up on what her friend is saying, and nods in understanding. She waits for Sweetie to catch her breath before entering the house to get help for their problem.
______________________________________________________________
“Ya’ll told her ta do what!” the orange mare known as Applejack shouts at the two fillies standing before her.
“We may have dared Scootaloo to go into the everfree forest in the middle of the night, without any supplies or directions.” Sweetie Bell says to the mare sitting in front of her, head hung in shame.

“And ah may have called er chicken when she said she wouldn’t do it.” Applebloom replies with a look of guilt and shame on her face, staring at applejack while her head points towards the ground.

“We’ll talk about your punishments later young ladies, but for now a’hm gonna round up the girls and we’re going to go into the forest and find Scootaloo. If you two really want to help, then ah need yah to go get Fluttershy and Twilight and bring em here. Got it?” Applejack asks the fillies, who nod their heads in understanding, before bolting off to go and find the others. When the two crusaders are out of sight, Applejack heads off to try to find Rainbow Dash, who tends to nap on clouds that float above the orchard.

______________________________________________________________
Sometime later, Applejack and her six friends are all gathered at the edge of the everfree forest, the crusaders having been grounded and are currently being supervised by Big Macintosh back at Sweet Apple Acres.

“Alright everypony, here’s whats going on in a nutshell. Applebloom and Sweetie Bell dared Scootaloo to go into the Everfree. When she wouldn’t do it, Applebloom called her a chicken. Apparently that got Scootaloo to want to accept the dare, and she didn’t come back last night. Now we need to go in and find her. Ay questions?” Applejack said to her friends.

“We have to hurry! What if Scoots ran into a pack of timber wolves? We have to find her!” Rainbow Dash says rapidly, before attempting to bolt off into the depths of the Everfree. However, before she can get very far, she is trapped in her friends magical aura and finds herself unable to move. She turns around to see Starlight Glimmer’s horn alight and a deadpan look on her face.

“Rainbow,” she says “you need to calm down. We can find her using the dowsing spell that twilight and i just started to work on. Thankfully, Applejack brought Scootaloo’s helmet from the clubhouse. I can use that to locate Scootaloo, i just need to concentrate on finding her though. Now if everyone would stand back for a moment, Twilight and I will start up the spell.” The mane six all slowly back up, giving both Twilight and Starlight space as both of their horns light up. The helmet is enveloped in a dark blue aura as a result of two unicorns casting a spell on it at once. The intensity of the aura increases steadily as both Twilight and Starlight start to sweat. Suddenly, there is a blinding flash of light, and the helmet starts to float on it’s own, heading into the Everfree to return to its master.

“Come on guys, we don’t want to lose it!” Rainbow cries out before pursuing the helmet, with the other six ponies right on her heels.

Big trouble with little miss muffet

The mane seven follow the helmet deep into the forest, walking past bushes that almost certainly held a deadly creature within its leaves, and flowers the likes of which even Zecora may not have seen. However, this did not deter the group from continuing onwards.
“Twilight, can’t you make this thing any faster!” Rainbow shouts impatiently.
“No, Rainbow. We could lose it in the foliage and we might get lost too!”
“Rainbow, darling, we understand that you want to find Scootaloo, but you have to be patient. Nothing good ever comes from trying to rush something.” Rarity chides.
Before Rainbow is able to reply, they all hear a sound.
“Wooooooohoooooooo!”
As something goes zooming past the group. Suddenly, the helmet starts to follow the creature.
“That thing’s got Scootaloo! Get her!” Rainbow shouts, leaving her friends behind to give chase to the creature that held her sister captive.
“I thought i told her to stay with the group!” Twilight shouts angrily
“Well sugarcube, you only told her you couldn’t make the helmet go any faster, not to leave the group.” Applejack replies honestly
“Ugghhh, but she should know it’s a terrible idea to split up! Especially since we’re in the Everfree forest! I swear, she is never going to hear the end of this.” Twilight replies in an even more annoyed tone, causing Applejack to back off.
“Let’s just go get them.” Starlight butts in, before starting to walk in the direction of the helmet again, with the rest of the mane seven following suit.
______________________________________________________________
“This is so awesome!” Scootaloo shouts from Muffet’s back, as the pair go swinging through the trees, wearing an expression of excitement on her face
“It feels like I’m flying, or I’m Spidermare! I wish I could do this all the time!”
Muffet gets a confused look on her face, and against her better judgement, asks “Wouldn’t you rather fly? You do have wings.”
At this Scootaloo’s face falls, and says,
“I can’t fly. I don’t know why, but my wings aren’t able to lift me off of the ground yet. But one day, I know I’ll fly! Rainbow Dash said so!”
“Well then, little one, when we get back, I’ll see what I can do to get her to help you learn how to fly. What do you think of that?”
“Really, you’d do that for me?”
“Of course dearie, that’s what friends are for.”
“Wooooooooooohoooooooooo!”
Scootaloo shouts, not noticing the group of ponies as they swing by. However, before they can get much further, they hear a shout loud enough to be heard from the underground itself, “Get your grubby hands off of my Scootaloo!” As a rainbow maned pegasus pony darts in front of the duo, with an expression on her face that screamed bloody murder.

Author's Note

Sorry about how short the chapter is, i'm still trying to get back into the grove of things after my final exams. The next chapter will be a fight scene, and i will try to make sure it's much longer with much more description. Lastly, thank you for your continued support, and i will see you in the next chapter :scootangel:

Swinging around the speed of sound

“Alright you freak of nature, you have exactly ten seconds before i smash you flat like the bug you are if you don’t put Scootaloo down and back away from her.” Rainbow says to Muffet.
“Rainbow, wait! She was just…”
“Scootaloo, not now. We’ll talk about this later. Now put her down and leave!”
Rainbow replies in a more hostile voice than before. Muffet flinches, and lowers herself to the ground to let Scootaloo hop off.
“Don’t worry dearie, I’ll be fine. Take care now!” Muffet says while giving Scootaloo a pat on the back. At this Rainbow becomes triggered and decides to attack, flying as fast as she can into Muffet, sending her into a tree.
“Alright monster, now it’s personal!”
“But Rainbow Dash she didn’t hur…”
“Not now Scootaloo. I said we would talk later!”
Rainbow shouts just as the rest of the mane seven arrive. They all take a look around, spying an injured Muffet leaning against a tree, while Rainbow stands in front of Scootaloo, wings flared and ready to attack. Just as Muffet tries to move again, Rainbow rushes forwards, slamming into her and driving her into the tree. The sound of the tree snapping in half can be heard, and the great log starts to fall towards Scootaloo. Muffet, seeing her friend in danger, launches out a strand of her purple web from one of her hands, past Scootaloo, and latches onto a tree behind her. She then pulls back on the webbing and jumps forwards, being launched forwards towards Scootaloo, and grabs her as she passes by. They both narrowly avoid being hit by the tree, and all of the ponies present, except for rainbow Dash who was flying high in the sky preparing for another attack, are all shocked at what happened. Muffet closes her dark black eyes, and when she opens them again, they are blood red.
“You, how dare you put the life of another in danger! I’m your opponent, so leave everyone else out of it!” Muffet screams towards the sky as Rainbow Dash launches into a dive straight at her. Muffet then starts to shoot webbing out of all of her arms, latching onto multiple trees, and starts to create a giant web. Rainbow sees what Muffet is doing, but she is moving too fast to avoid the web and is snared within the sticky trap. She starts to struggle, moving this way and that hoping to break free of her prison, but she only succeeds in getting caught by even more strands of the web. Muffet sees that Rainbow is unable to escape, and walks over to Scootaloo, her eyes changing back to normal, and asks her
“Are you okay dearie?”with concern in her voice.
“Yeah, thanks for saving me again. That tree could have really hurt..”
“It was no problem dearie. Now go ahead and meet up with the others, I’m sure they’re quite worried about you.”
“But, won’t you come with me?”
“Sorry dearie, but i don’t think that that’s a good idea at the moment. However, I’ll try to visit that town i saw every now and then. I’m sure we’ll meet again there very soon.”
“Okay muffet. But when we do meet up, I will introduce you to my friends!”
“Okay dearie, run along now. Stay safe!”
Muffet shouts as Scootaloo runs to meet back up with the mane seven. Scootaloo turns around to wave to Muffet one last time, but when she does, nobody was there

Again this may be short, but i am terrible at fight scenes. There will definatly be more progression in the next chapter. See you all then! :scootangel:

The elegent spider

Language!

When twilight, Starlight, and the other members of the mane seven finish cutting Rainbow Dash out from the webbing, they are met with some of the most colorful words they have ever heard.
“I am going to f*****g murder that d**n c**k sucking b*****d of a monster!”
“Rainbow Dash, watch your language!” Shouts Twilight
“Yeah, you can’t say that stuff, this is supposed to be rated PG!” Pinkie chimes in with
“What are you talking about Pinkie? Nopony else is watching us.”
“You’re right twilight, nopony is watching us.”
“Then what did you mean by… nevermind. Rule #1 of Pinkie, never try to use logic with Pinkie.”
“See Twilight, you can teach an old pony new tricks!” Pinkie says to Twilight, as the rest of the ponies present let out a laugh. Twilight groans and face hooves before grabbing Rainbow Dash in her magic as she attempts to fly away.
“What the f**k was that for Twilight? I was going to go make sure that that bug doesn’t hurt anypony else!”
“Rainbow, calm down you don’t think clearly when you’re angry. We don’t even know what happened! Also, Language! Now, how about instead of getting angry at something we know nothing about, we ask Scootaloo what happened.”

“Fine, but I’m still gonna punch that smug spider’s face in.” Rainbow replies before Scootaloo starts to speak.
“Well, last night the girls dared me to go into the Everfree. I didn’t want to but they kept teasing me and calling me a chicken so i went ahead and did it. However i ended up getting lost and attacked by timber wolves. Then Muffet came in and beat up all the timber wolves!”

“By muffet, do you mean that huge spider?” Twilight asks with a confused look on her face

“Yes Twilight, that was Muffet! How hard of a concept is it for you to grasp.” Scootaloo replies with an exasperated look on her face

“You named it! Why would you give that thing a name!” Rainbow shouts in an annoyed tone.

“First off, Muffet is a girl, second, that’s what she said her name was. I had no choice in what her name is. Now if you're done hating on the one person who seems to care about me, I’m leaving!”
“Scootaloo, if you don’t change your tone, i’ll have to…”
“You’ll have to what, have a talk with my parents. Ha! That trick won’t work on me! You can’t make me do anything! You aren’t my parents!” She shouts before running off in the direction of Ponyville, leaving the mane six in various states

“Why that ungrateful little… I’ll show you what I can do!” rainbow says before trying to fly off, only to be stopped once again by Twilight.

“Rainbow Dash, you need to chill out! If you do anything to her, her parents could sue you for foal abuse. Now get your head in the game and start acting your age. I am sick and tired of you constantly making stupid decisions!” Twilight shouts, her mane setting itself ablaze mid sentence, causing Rainbow to stop struggling and look at Twilight with a look of shock on her face. “Let me know when you finally decide to stop acting like a moron and mare up.”

Again sorry about it being so long since the last upload on this story. I got lazy and didn't get much done. Now though, I'll try to pick it up and deliver more good quality content. However I will need feedback and yes, this story will show the fact that Rainbow Dash is my least favorite pony. With that all said, I'll see you all in the next update.

This chapter is meant to show that the story (and other stories) are not dead yet. In fact they are getting better. Quarter exams have just ended, so I will be making sure to get on with the chapters this weekend. The 3rd story that goes with this and my pokemon crossover will start up after halloween. Thank you for your patience and remember to stay fabulous!
