Freddy Krueger cursed his luck. He was a feared killer in his day, murdering teens whenever he pleased, until the parents burned him alive. Fortunately, he lived now in fear, literally. He came in your nightmares, and if he killed you in it, you would die in real life. He could not come out of your dream though, so waking yourself up would save you.

In the real world, Freddie was old news. Everyone knew about him and how to defeat him by pulling him out of the dream. He hated them, all of them. He had sat in the dreamland for days, contemplating just what to do about it. Then it hit him. If everyone in the real world knew about him now, then he would just have to wait for a while untill he made another appearance. He just needed another place to... thrill.

Searching the dreamland that was his home, he found a portal into a different world, one with no understanding of him at all. A place called Equestria. It was perfect. Happy ponies, singing, and no deaths at all. Not even this... Discord, a local villain, had been killed by anyone.

Freddy grinned, thinking of all the fun he could have in this new world. The slaughter would be legendary in Equestria forever. Krueger tightened his glove, straightened his hat, and entered the void.

---------------------------------------------------------

It was late at night in ponyville. Everyone was asleep, except for Twilight Sparkle and her assistant, Spike. Twilight gazed into her telescope, watching the stars, while Spike stood behind her, picking his teeth. They were on top of the Library, currently being used as Twilight's house. Twilight had heard a crackling, snapping sound coming from the sky, and she had sworn that there was an eclipse happening.

"I don't understand it Spike." She said, still gazing through the telescope. "I saw it out of the corner of my eye! a sort of... greenish-red flashing circle in front of the moon, and call me crazy but a body fell from it. I didn't get a good look, but I think the body was human."

Spike was confused. "A... human? What's that?"

"It's a different type of mammal, one that we don't see in our world very often." Twilight answered, turning away from the telescope and facing Spike.

"What do they look like?" Spike asked, barely staying awake. It wasn't right to be awake at this time.

"They look kind of pale, only taller than us and have only two feet, and two arms."

"How do you know? Have you seen one before?"

"No." Twilight said, entering the library. "But I have a book about them. Want to see it?"

Spike entered after her. "No way! I'm going to sleep now, like you should be. You are coming to bed, right?"

But it was too late. Twilight already had a book open on her desk. Spike sighed and went to his bed. laying down, he pulled the covers over himself and fell into a deep sleep.

Down in the library part of Twilight's house, Twilight was deep into her book. It was very interesting. She had already read it twice, but she was curious, maybe she had missed something. Twilight rolled her eyes, she never missed anything. Her eyes drooped. She was very tired, now that she thought about it. She blew out the candle above her desk, turned, and began to walk up the stairs to her bed.

What she saw when she got up there wasn't normal. Spike was asleep, but not normally. Twilight had known Spike her entire life, but had never seen him like this. He was in a fit, twisting from side to side, clawing at the air, and what seemed to be running in place. This wasn't what scared Twilight though. What scared her was Spikes' crazed whispering.

"One, two, Freddie's coming for you..." Spike's voice trailed off, once again flailing around in his sleep, and continued:

"Three, four, better lock your door..." Spike's eyes squinted in his sleep, staring at something Twilight couldn't see.

"Five, six, grab your crucifix..." the dragon rolled off of his bed now, screaming and fighting something hidden from view, but Spike kept chanting.

"Seven, eight, gonna stay up late... AAAAAAHHHH!!! TWILIGHT!!!" He screamed into the night, breaking her out of her state of shock.

She ran over and began to shake Spike. He stayed in his sleep, screaming in pain. Twilight thought fast.

'What wakes you up...? Falling!'

Twilight activated her magic, picking up Spike and tossing him down the stairs. He fell from view, crashing down the stairs. Twilight rushed to the side of the staircase, looking down at Spike, who lay in a pool of blood at the bottom of the steps.

After a few moments, he sat up, clutching something in his hands. Twilight teleported herself downstairs, beside Spike.

"Omigod Spike! What happened?" She asked, on the verge of tears.

Spike rubbed the back of his head, revealing four parallel gashes on his chest, and a dark-green hat in his other hand. Spike looked at the hat, then up at Twilight.

"Nine, ten." He shuddered. "Never sleep again." Next Chapter: Chapter 1: Fun with Freddy Estimated time remaining: 6 Minutes
