At once, the shadowy creatures surged forwards at the clustered ponies, who spread out, giving themselves space. The monsters seemed to have a specific plan of attack, each one homing in on an individual pony, who, once they figured out which one was after them, would call out a confession, causing the demon to fade away. This plan seemed to be going well, and the mockeries of ponies were thinning out… Until one went after Rainbow. She panicked, apparently having thought one just, wouldn’t come for her. She didn’t know what to do, yelling out random things such as “Uh, I didn’t feed Tank this morning!”

“Rainbow, strong confessions! Things that would make you gasp!” Thunderclap called to her, before noticing she had a Veil of her own on her tail. Literally. “Ahh getitoffgetitoffgetitoff!” She blasted it off with a shock from her horn, before yelling at it “I’m an idiot!” It kept coming.

“Thunderclap, I think everypony knows that.” Celestia told her.

“Fair point.” As Thunderclap tried to think of something to say, Rainbow kept backing away from her own creature, before sighing, muttering “I have to do this, don’t I?” She flew up in the air, quickly reaching the shroud of darkness over the town. She struck a relatively dramatic pose, before yelling at the demon “I’m scared!”

It stopped.

“I’m scared, all right? I’m scared that my friends might leave me. I’m scared that my stupid antics are going to get somepony hurt! So why don’t I just stop, you ask? Because I’m scared of that too! I’m scared that that’s all anypony sees about me! The daredevil that takes enormous risks! I’m scared that if I stop being that, everypony will stop liking me! So there. That’s my confession.” She hovered in midair, waiting to see the beast’s reaction.

It faded.

Everypony else just stared at her, before Fluttershy spoke up. “Um, that was, um, really good Rainbow, but, uh, we still have to deal with the others? I think?” That snapped everypony out of it, as they noticed the rest of them, inches away from the ponies. Before anypony could react though, Pinkie jumped into the air, just as high as Rainbow, yelling “My favourite colour’s not pink, it’s yellow!” And all the monsters faded away.

Author's Note

Yes I rushed the ending. I didn't know what else to do and I was running out of time. Also, from now on, it's just going to be Thunderclap's random adventures with everypony else. Also hopefully longer chapters. But now idk whether to keep the 'Adventure' tag or change it to 'Slice of Life'. She's still having adventures, but it's lots of seperate ones, and for her it is essentially slice of life. Help in comments?
