*a few bush-nesting spiders expand their colony into Tempest Shadow's mane* *they're sure she won't mind*

*if spiders could cry, this one would be bawling* *instead, it just rolls over on its back and curls its legs towards its body*

*it rolls back over and springs up, jumping onto Angel's muzzle* *shakes its abdomen in a dance of celebration*

*it happily accepts the strawberry and skitters off into the woods*

*two spiders are snoozing with Scootaloo, one snoozing near Diamond Tiara* *they may or may not be surrounded*

*three spiders approach Angel Scepter and the muffins, as if pleading to have what she doesn't want*

*one of the braver spiders approaches Angel Scepter even closer and climbs up on her*

*flees from Princess Celestia!* *abandon tree!*

*the high sugar content of apples draws then in, and they keep pests away from the trees*

*avoids Twibot Sparker!*

*a spider makes its way out of some corner of the room and jumps onto Starlight Glimmer's horn, clinging on*

*TING* *it flies off, skitters around, and then suddenly: POOF* *it's the size of a dog*

*it skitters around rapidly, its metal exoskeleton making heavy clangs on the floor*

*upon getting its bearings, it turns and looks directly at Starlight Glimmer and Captain Sir Brave Soul* *all eight eyes on them*

*it slowly starts creeping towards the two, seemingly most interested in the hornsparks*

*tink tink tink* *it stops directly before Starlight Glimmer, making a chittering sound before slowly raising one of its forelegs*

*repeated tinks* *it tappy-taps Starlight Glimmer's horn repeatedly*

*it taps Starlight Glimmer's forehead a few times, stares at her - puzzled, then moves over to Captain Sir Brave Soul and does the same thing*

*it stops and looks at the sun as well, very confused*

*a certain colony of the golden spiders have decorated Princess Celestia's bedchambers with some spooky gilded cobwebs*
