The Tale of the Slender Pony (A Night Tale by Rainbow Dash)
Load Full StoryNext Chapter"One dark and stormy night, a shadow figure approached from behind. The shadow soon shown in the moonlight, revealing itself to be the slender pony. Everypony feared this nightmare creature. Whenever he was said to be around, ponies would hide in the basements under their basements. For those few brave souls that didn't hide in their basements, they were killed off one by one by the slender pony. The next morning, the ponies would come out from their hiding and discover dead bodies everywhere. They'd then let fear overtake them, the fear that they might be next," says Rainbow Dash.
"Rainbow," asks Scootaloo, "what if they do manage to face him one to one, how would they defeat him?"
"Hush, I'm getting there," replies Rainbow. She then promptly continues her story. "If the brave soul managed to face him and not get killed by him, they'd proceed to use a magic spirit dispelling spell called incantation of evil dispersion. If that didn't work, they'd peg him with a cinder block, killing him. If they didn't kill him, they'd be dead along with the others by morning. Still to this day, the slender pony is said to haunt the woods surrounding Sweet Apple Acres, awaiting to attack his next victim. Watch out for him, hide yourselves from his presence, and you'll come out alive. If you don't, you'll be sorry and a deadman."
"When, when does he come to try and murder everypony?" asks Scootaloo, now rather frightened.
"Every full moon," replies Rainbow. "He comes in the shadow of the full moon and takes his victims and kills them one by one."
A few minutes later, a frightened Scootaloo runs off and hides in her tent. Rainbow soon realizes this and goes and apologizes for scaring her. Scootaloo gladly accepts the apology and Rainbow then stays with her until she finally falls asleep for the night.
