Skellynata - by spomeg
>Day 2spooky at Canterlot High
>Be Sonata
>Principal Celestia allows the students to dress up on Halloween
>However, your friends have been unsupportive in your quest to bring some fun into your recently mundane lives
>Not to mention, Adagio doesn't trust you with money, so you can't go to a costume store and buy something by yourself
>You got around this by going to a graveyard and digging up a skeleton
>It's not like whoever they belonged to would be missing them
>You really wanted to dress like a skeleton because your friend, Anon, said that he was absolutely terrified of them
>You're sure he's exaggerating
>You stuff a skin-tight jumpsuit with bones hastily hot glued to it into your backpack and head off to school
>Be Anon: professional skelly-phobe
>You used to hate Halloween because some fucker would always try to scare you with some shitty skeleton mask
>Sadly for you, it worked most of the time
>That is, up until you nearly put Flash Sentry in a coma two years ago when he popped out of a locker in a skeleton body-suit
>No one has to know that you were just attempting to close the locker so you would have more time to escape
>Last year there were no incidents, so you were confident with a similar result this year
>As you enter the school, you hear Sonata calling your name
>"Hey Anon, wait up! I've got a surprise for you!"
>You wait on the steps as Sonata rushes up to you
>"I made my own Halloween costume, and I want you to be the first to see it."
>Sonata then drags you into the school, letting you go just outside the girl's bathroom
>"Now wait right here while I change."
>You often forget how headstrong she is
>You catch movement out of the corner of your eye, and turn to face whoever is coming out of the bathroom
>You are swiftly confronted by a grinning skull attached to what appears to be the rest of a skeleton
>Your higher brain functions shut down as you run away as quickly as you possibly can
>Be Skelly-nata
>You are currently chasing after Anon
>What a jerk he is, running off before even giving his opinion on your costume
>He couldn't possibly have gotten a proper look at it before he took off in what you can only describe as a dead sprint
>Luckily for you, he is running into a dead-end hallway
>You turn the corner, slightly out of breath from keeping up with him
>You walk slowly down the hallway as he realizes that he is trapped
>As you come within arms-length of him, you ignore the paralyzing fear in his eyes and ask:
“What do you think of my costume, Anon?”
>"You've eaten Sonata and taken her voice! I always knew you bony bastards were trouble!"
>You giggle and take off your mask/skull
“Silly Anon! How could a skeleton eat me? They don't have stomachs!”
>You see Anon quickly relax upon seeing your face, but his expression morphs into one of anger
>"What the hell, Sonata?! I told you that skeletons scare the shit out of me!"
>You remember him saying that, but it always confused you
>Why would anyone be afraid of one of their body parts?
>You decide to confront him about it
“But Anon, why are you afraid of skeletons? After all, you've got one inside of you right now. Everyone does.”
>You see Anon's pupils dilate until they seem to consume the entirety of his eye
>He foams at the mouth slightly, and goes through several violent shudders before going very still
>Oh that Anon, always trying to pull one over on you
>As you grab his wrist to pull him up, you notice something peculiar
>No pulse
>You go into full panic mode as you attempt to figure out how to hide the body
>Suddenly, an idea strikes you
>You change back into your normal clothes in a nearby janitor's closet
>Then you dress Anon up in your costume and drag him inside
>You figure you will be alright as long as nobody checks the skeletons in the closet
