- > I'm not sure what kind of power that would be. Maybe a really bright flashlight or something?

- Initiating drawbun ritual
- >Someone, somewhere, awoke with a start.
- >There were strange noises coming from downstairs.
- >Boom boom crash!
- >A home invader!
- >He looked to the horde of miniature kaijupones looking back at him from the rest of the bed.
- >The good citizen knew just what to do.
- >He grabbed a bulky flashlight from his bedside.
- >He would not be found unprepared.
- >Boom boom crash!
- >The door came down.
- >A figured swept into the room from the hallway shadow.
- >The two sized one another up.
- >A man wearing a black ski mask glared through two menacing eye holes.
- >The criminal had a crowbar in one arm and in his pocket was the butt of a pistol.
- >This man meant business, but so did his imminent target.
- >The home owner grimly held a bulky flashlight.
- >Would it be enough?
- >He would find out soon.
- >The invader's hand twitched.
- >In an instant, the flashlight was brought to bear.
- >The homeowner depressed his thumb to the sound of tiny horses narrating the sound effect.
- >"Click!"
- >The room was blasted with photons.
- >He had a flashlight with a mighty ten L.E.P.'s.
- >This many Light Emitting Ponies packed into one device was like a neon blue searchlight.
- >The thief yelped at the harsh lighting, disoriented.
- >There was a gunshot, and a heavy thump.
- >The light dropped to the ground, still shining towards the door.
- >Had the bullet hit its mark?
- >Everything went quiet save for a sniffle from inside the flashlight.
- >The strong light remained blinding.
- >Trying to shield his eyes, the assailant stumbled forward.
- >The blue faded from his eyes when he got close enough, just in front of the flashlight.
- >He could see the home owner on the ground, staring up at him.
- >They blinked at each other.
- >Lucky miss.
- >Before he could point the gun, a hand of the fallen man shot over to the flashlight.
- >It hit a switch and the light's reflector flipped open.
- >Immediately a cluster of miniponies dove out like a pack of cheering face huggers.
- >The cobalt blue spotlight fanning out into a torrent of smaller lights that fell upon the home invader.
- >The man went down with a cry, tackled and wrestled to the ground by the snuggly swarm in typical horror movie fashion.
- >He scrambled for his gun but couldn't dislodge the steely jaws of the tiny alien horses.
- >No matter how hard he fought he couldn't shake them for more than a blink.
- >He kicked, tried to punch, kick, squirm, and roll.
- >He swung his arm and they simply cleared the way in a flash, swirling around his fist like a school of fish weaving around a predator.
- >He kicked out and only thumped against open floor.
- >The whirling swarm simply dodged every blow.
- >He rolled across the floor but they simply hopped on and rode him like a cartoonish rolling log.
- >"Get 'em off! Get 'em off!" he begged, struggles growing feeble.
- >The home owner merely stood up and looked away.
- >This part was hard to watch.
- >Rampant cuddling of this caliber was illegal in twelve states.
- >Dusting himself off and checking for wounds, the home owner sighed, watching the blue lights continue to swirl over their prey.
- >Soon enough, one of the kaiju in particular stood on the exhausted man's head, a bag between her forelegs.
- >"I found chips in his pocket!"
- >"Chips?!"
- >"He must know where more are!"
- >"Let's go find them!"
- >A chorus of agreements rang out.
- >The invader was carried out like a prize by ants, little kaiju "Nam nam nam"-ing on his clothes.
- >"Any chips in here?"
- >"No, try his hat!"
- >"Okay!"
- >The voices faded down the hallway.
- >The home owner reached for his phone.
- "Hello? Yes I'd like to report a low-speed snuggling. Yeah. Yes. They're on the front lawn now and dragging him down the street. South on 10th street. Okay. I'll bring a bag."
- >He clicked the call to an end went downstairs to the kitchen pantry.
- >The home owner later caught up to the horde of tiny kaijus still glowing excitedly.
- >The former burglar turned victim was dazed while they used him as an elevated perch to search for oncoming snack bags.
- >Two police cars were stationed close by, officers trying to coax the group of glowing ponies away so they could make their questioning.
- >One of them was jingling a keychain and while it got a few glances of attention, they seemed to take it as the distraction it was.
- >The owner approached one of the ponies who was idly gnawing on a lock of the fallen man's hair.
- "Hey sweetie, whatcha doing?"
- >She paused her namming to respond.
- >"They call this greasy hair, but it's not like chip greasy."
- "Doesn't taste very good, does it?"
- >She shook her head.
- >The little ponies collectively sighed defeatedly.
- "Wouldn't a real chip be better?"
- >She nodded.
- >"Do you know where they are?"
- "I have some."
- >That got their attention.
- >A small lake of blue lights turned his way.
- >He held up a bag and scrunched it loudly in his hands.
- >The miniponies quickly scrambled off of their victim and returned to their owner's side.
- >He tossed a piece of deliciousness at the crowd.
- >Like a swarm of fish puppies they stumbled over one another and leaped at the chance.
- >"Chip, chip, chip!" they started chanting.
- >One was not enough.
- >He tossed them slowly, rationing them one at a time.
- >As the number of chips dwindled, they started vying for the treat, squabbling in little kaiju combat.
- >"I want a chip, too!"
- >"Miiiine!"
- >They hustled and shuffled, jockeying for the best positions.
- >Somehow, the owner managed to keep track of them.
- >One for each and then back down the line again.
- >Chip after chip while the police conducted their business, asking questions about what could possibly have caused this scene.
- >After a thorough explanation, the officers were done and it was time to take the little kaijus back home.
- >Only, they seemed disinterested.
- >It was past their bed time.
- >Now thoroughly awakened, they were active.
- >"I want adventure!"
- >"Yeah!" the rest cheered.
- "It's bed time."
- >"But we don't want to," they whined.
- >The owner was baffled what to do.
- >Until he spotted a gas station on the street corner.
- "Would you go to bed if you get a super special midnight snack?"
- >They thought it over for all of a second.
- >"Yay!"
- >"More chips!"
- "This way!"
- >He led his strange gang of small kaijupones into the convenience store, holding the door open for the massses.
- >When he entered, they had already started sniffing around, the store clerk meekly peeking out around a display stand.
- >"They're not gonna, like, eat my customers, are they?"
- "Probably not."
- >His reply was cut off but one of the ponies suddenly stop sniffing at the entrance to an aisle.
- >She began flashing her bio-luminescent lights in a swirl of patterns and squealing excitedly.
- >The rest quickly fell into place behind it, roving as a horde once again down the snack aisle.
- >They came to a stop, looking at a bag strangely.
- >"Chalk-oh-lat... chips?"
- >"Chips?"
- >"Chips!"
- >One could only imagine what the little terrors might turn into on a sugar rush.
- >The owner was quick to divert their attention.
- "Nonono, those are fake chips."
- >"Fake?"
- "Yes."
- >He scanned further down the aisle.
- "Real ones are over there."
- >They followed his pointing finger and they scurried across the length of the aisle.
- >They came back quickly, each one having grabbed a bag of one chip or another.
- >He checked to make sure they were all present before leading them back to the counter.
- "Everyone have some?"
- >They all nodded their heads and replied with voices muffled by their assorted prizes.
- >He paid for the newfound snacks but as they dragged the bags towards the door, he called out.
- "Wait, girls. Let me bag those, it'll be easier to carry."
- >They stopped in their tracks, looking at him like he was crazy.
- >"Bags... in bags?" one of them asked.
- "Yeah. If you drag them on the ground they might break and I can carry them all."
- >They were mystified by this proposal.
- >They brought the bags forward to him and he put each snackbag one in a proper plastic bag.
- >Together they left the gas station, group of kaijuponies dogging his heels.
- >He re-entered the house, stick the front door back into place as best he could and dropped the bags.
- >They were quickly assaulted on all sides, grabbed and dragged to separate parts of the open-kitchen living room.
- >The room was filled with the happy nams of the kaijupones.
- >Eventually he crept back into his bed, and slinked back under the covers.
- >A pile of miniponies quickly gathered, sprawling across the bed in a chorus of small snores.
