Rainbow Dash entered first period, excited to invite Hoop to the movie night. Rainbow lived nearby Hoop, so he used to be a close friend of Rainbow's when she was younger. They still got along, but no one would call them friends anymore. Not after nearly a decade. But she knew a movie night with him would be fun.

Rainbow approached Hoop, who was sitting in his desk reading a book. She tapped his shoulder. "So Volleyball Spike and I are having a movie night in her house after school finishes. Wanna come?"

"Uh, sure. Sounds fun." Hoop smiled, and then from behind Rainbow, "A movie night?! Can I come?!"

Rainbow turned to face Soarin, a stallion who she used to hate.

Funny how I used to hate him, and now we're practically friends. Rainbow Dash thought before she responded.

"If Hoop brings you, I don't see why not." Rainbow replied, excited, because the more ponies to come, the better.

"Hoop, please?" Soarin said, leaning out of his desk to come close to show his puppy dog face.

"Sure." Hoop simply said.

Rainbow sat in her desk, satisfied about the two new attendees.

And the bell rang.

***

About a month later, Rainbow Dash was with Volleyball Spike outside of her house, waiting for everypony to arrive. So far these ponies came; Helping Paw, Trackee, Racer, Sprinter, Mascaran, and Cheerleader.

Only Hoop and Soarin were left.

Soon enough, Hoop and Soarin arrived, side-by-side, ready to start the movie.

"So," Soarin said, approaching all cool-like, "What are we watching?"

"Bleeding Souls. I heard that one was really scary." Volleyball Spike replied, leading her group into her house.

"Wait, we're watching that movie?!" Soarin asked, slightly nervous.

"Why?" Rainbow replied, smirking, "Are you scared?"

Soarin defended himself, "No! Why would I? They're just movies."

"Whatever." Mascaran replied as they went into the cloud-basement.

There was plenty of couches for them to sit on, and no one really cared who they sat by, but Soarin. He was sure he sat in between Rainbow and Hoop. He was clinging to Hoop.

"Dude, what's your problem?" asked Hoop, as he shoved Soarin off him.

"It's nothing, I'm just...cold. And you and Rainbow are the only ponies I know here." Soarin replied.

"Really, Soarin? If you wanted to come so bad, why are you acting so nervous around being different ponies?" Rainbow asked, but before Rainbow could reply Volley asked her, "Hey Rainbow, can you get us the soda and the popcorn?"

"Sure." Rainbow replied and got off the couch.

"Save my spot for me, will ya?" she asked Soarin, and he did without hesitation. Because when she returned and sat next to him during the movie, at least she would maybe understand that when he's scared he grabs the nearest thing he can and hides beneath it. Doing that to a pony you don't know would make it worse.

Soon Rainbow came back with bowls of popcorn and sodas for each pony. Volley found a spot and turned off the lights, so the only light was coming from the TV. Soarin watched nervously as she skipped through the previews to play the movie. Soon the movie began, and there were no scares but Soarin was already tense.

After what seemed like a deathly long time, the demon in the movie got it's first victim. It was so loud and the image was so terrifying, each pony jumped a little, Mascaran, Cheerleader, and Helping Paw being a bit dramatic. Soarin was the most dramatic. He was so terrified, he wrapped his hooves around Dash, making her spill her popcorn and fall onto his belly. This was so fast that Rainbow jumped in surprise and flew to the ceiling, her hooves smashing Soarin's belly before she hit her head on the ceiling, and she fell back down onto the couch, dazed.

Even though the jump scare was gone, everypony was screaming from all of the action happening in such little time. Within a second after Rainbow Dash landed on the couch, everypony stopped screaming.

Volley paused the movie.

"Rainbow, are you okay?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Rainbow replied, rubbing her head.

"Alright, good." Volley continued the movie, and Soarin muttered, "Sorry."

Rainbow didn't reply.

The next jump scare came. This time Soarin clung to Rainbow like a baby monkey to it's mother.

Rainbow jumped this time, but Soarin's weight kept her down to the couch.

She looked in annoyance as Soarin still clung to her, and made eye contact with him, and her eyes, which said, Let go of me.

Soarin quickly let go.

Then, without warning, another jump scare came. Soarin squealed but didn't cling, and instead threw his popcorn and showered Rainbow and Hoop with it.

"Dude, can you watch this movie without being over-dramatic?" Hoop asked.

Soarin nodded, and for about twenty minutes there was peace and quiet.

Then suddenly the most terrifying jump scare came. The demon had a bloody face with black eyes and her skull was showing. She was killing and eating her victim and torn flesh showed.

Everypony screamed bloody-murder, and jumped from their couches. Soarin was the loudest screamer, it was so high pitched you would mistake it for a six year old. He squeezed Dash harder than he ever did before, he was so scared he leaned forward and Rainbow fell on her side, Soarin's weight on top of her so she couldn't move. He was still screaming. Rainbow finally used her back hooves to push him off her.

"Soarin!" she grumbled.

Then everypony stopped screaming and laughed at how they screamed.

"Soarin, you scream like a filly!" Hoop laughed, and everypony else laughed as well, but Soarin.

His cheeks were bright red. Had he seriously just done that?

Everypony soon continued to watch the movie. Soarin just wanted it to be over.

As more jump scares came, Rainbow learned to ignore Soarin's clingyness.

Finally it was over.

Soarin let out a breath of relief.

"Man, Soarin, you're sure a p-"  Rainbow began to say, but was cut off by Volley saying, "What now?"

"Maybe we could get pizza." Sprinter suggested.

"Good idea. I'll call the pizza place. What kind of pizza do you guys want?" Volley asked.

"Supreme!" Soarin and Dash said at the same time.

"Yeah, I guess supreme's okay." said Racer, "Let's get it."

"Alright." Volley dialed in the phone number.

"Hey guys, I have an idea. We should prank call." Cheerleader said, "Although I'm bad at it. Who's good?"

"Me." said Soarin, Rainbow, Hoop, and Volley at the same time.

"Okay, how 'bout we prank call a repair shop? I have just the idea in mind." Sprinter laughed.

"Alright," Mascaran said, "What's the plan?"
