A Carriage Built for Two
I would apologize for this being short, but this is all you want to hear, the rest would be filler. Thanks to retro mania for giving me this idea, and I hope everyone likes it. If anyone else has an idea for a story, than send it to me, and I can write it. To the story!
It was a stormy, yet beautiful lightning-filled night. One jolt in particular woke up a very sleepy purple dragon from his slumber. For fear of even more lightning, the dragon, known as Spike, decided to instead sit down in front of the window and watch the colors. It took just one more flash for him to see something outside. No, he decided, not something, somepony! After a few more flashes, it became even more apparent that there was more than one, but more around five or six. The worst part was that it seemed as if they were staring right at him, plotting.
Fluttershy wakes up with a jolt, looked around, and sighed. She knew that nothing was there, but it's all just a habit. She felt too groggy to get up, since she had already spent all night shaking in her bed, scared deeply of the roaring thunder, but she knew that she had to wake the animals, or they would just waste their day stuck in bed. As she groggily stood up, found her robe, and started to walk to the door, she heard a sound, like singing, coming from the outside. After resisting to just open the door, she convinced herself nothing bad was there, so she went to check it out.
Applejack didn't wait to leap out of bed, since she had some apples to harvest! As she leaped down the stairs, narrowly missing trampling over Applebloom, and waving goodbye to Granny Smith while grabbing her basket to keep the apples from breaking on the ground. When she got outside, she sniffed in the fresh apple scent! While looking for where to start bucking, she noticed some trees farther back in the field shaking, as if someone got to them first. Applejack, who wants the apples only for her family, runs straight to those trees.
Rainbow Dash woke to hitting the ground, with pain surging through her body, from her neck to her wings, to her tail. When she looked up, she saw, through all the pain, a rainbow coming from a light green stallion. Though she would have found fun in chasing this faker, she could barely open her wings without pain surging through them. This is what she got for sitting on a raincloud instead of in her home. When she decided that she would just chase him down later, Rainbow noticed him starting to fly right back.
Rarity shrieked, waking herself up. The dream she just had was one of the weirdest and scariest, of course about Trenderhoof. She would have kept shaking, if she didn't smell something. She would have assumed it was Sweetie Belle, but it smelled like something good. She also heard rustling in her shop, and she was scared that it was a robber! After she got downstairs, tripping down many of them, she saw something making her want to scream more than the dream she just had.
Pinkie Pie had no time to sleep, since she had so many parties she had to get to today. The first one was at Twist's house, since it was her birthday. While she was hopping on her way towards the house, she heard some music coming from where she was going. When she got to Twist's, she couldn't believe someone else was already getting the party started. But there was something else even weirder.
Twilight was cleaning her library up from her latest study session, and Spike would have helped if he wasn't dead asleep. She didn't know why Spike was sleeping for so long, since he already went to bed really early. When Twilight put the book about conjuring the enemies, she heard something coming from the front room in the castle she lived in. She still hadn't gotten used to the echoing of the noises, despite living there for a while. When she got to the front room, she saw Owlowiscious sitting on the door handle, pointing her head to the door. That's when she heard the knock.
