Twilight and Leni's Night Shift

***Another fanfiction with Character Crossovers.***

**French narrator:** Ah. The Crossover Restaurant. The Toon City's premiere daytime eatery. Where it will be closing time right about...

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[talks cheerfully as she switches the “Open” sign to "Closed" using magic]* Now! 8:00! Whew! Finally, thank goodness, now I can return home for a good nights rest. So long, everyone! Because tomorrow, I’m leaving! Woohoo! Now if you’ll excuse me, *[pulling out her books using magic]* I’ve got some good books to read and-. *[Zaptor the Electroid Mixel shows up at the door and knocks on it, causing Twilight to drop her books]* What the?

**Zaptor:** Hey, Twilight.

**Twilight Sparkle:** What do you want?

**Zaptor:** Are you open?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Ugh, Zaptor, please *[points to the sign]* Read the sign. **‘Closed’**.

**Zaptor:** Um, *[ignores her]* I'll have a Hamlogna Sandwich Deluxe and a double chili cheese fries.

**Twilight Sparkle:** Oh No, ***won’t!*** Zaptor, please…. if you wanted food, you should have come earlier? I can't hang around here all night long! I've got a ***life!*** And I need to get my beauty sleep.

**Zaptor:** Well, fine, Twilight, if you don't want my money!

**SwaySway:** *[says cheerfully] [offscreen]* Did someone say *Money?!*

*[SwaySway then falls from the ceiling on top of Twilight Sparkle]*

**SwaySway:** Pardon me sir, but do You mean to say that, if we stayed open later, you'd eat in and give us your money?

**Zaptor:** *[pulls out cash; Bubbles Utonium the Powerpuff Girl, SpongeBob SquarePants, Gumball Watterson, and Grandpa Max Tennyson appear behind him]* Sure! I mean, I don’t see why not. But I was gonna order to go.

**SwaySway:** Meh, that works too. *[to Twilight Sparkle]* Good news, Princess Twilight! *[tears up the “Closed” sign]* You are hereby welcome aboard to what we in the business call: the night shift.

**Twilight Sparkle:** The…night shift?!

**SwaySway:** You bet’cha, From now on, The Crossover Restaurant is open 24 hours a day.!

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[backs away]* **W-W-WHAT?!?!?!**

*[Zaptor and the other citizens of Toon City barge in cheering and tramples Twilight Sparkle]*

**Leni Loud:** *Woooooow!* Now we *never* have to stop working!

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[gets up]* 24 hours? Really?! SwaySway, you can't be serious!

**SwaySway:** See ya in the morning, girls! I can't hang around here all night, some of us have earlier morning jobs. So good luck, & who knows…. you may even get Princess Luna to come in, & business will be booming! And tonight, I've got a ***life!** [leaves the Crossover Restaurant]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** B-b-but, wait, SwaySway?! *[puts her hoof on her face and groans]* Ugh, you gotta be kidding me.

**Leni Loud:** Isn't this great, Twilight?! Just you and me together for hours and hours and ***hours?!*** And then the sun'll come up and it'll be tomorrow and we'll still be working! *[gasps]* …I just realized something about this? It'll be just like a sleepover! Only we'll be *sweaty* and covered with grease! *[jumps on cash register counter]* Are you ready to rock Twilight?!

**Twilight Sparkle:** ...............No.

**Leni Loud:** Good! 'Cause we've got customers! *[jumps through the window above the register, into the kitchen]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[muttering to herself]* Why I accept working at here? This is the terrible mistake that I made! *[walks to the cash register]*

*[Harvey Beaks walks up to counter; Twilight gives him a baseball bat]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[said to Harvey Beaks]* *Here*. Please *hit* me as hard as you can.

**Harvey Beaks:** *[gasps]* Goodness, Twilight! I-I could never-!

**Leni Loud:** Pst, Hey, Twilight. I'm working in the kitchen… *[laughs]* hehehe... at night!

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[takes her hat off; leans her head on counter]* Don't hold back, Harvey.

*[the scene cuts to Leni in the kitchen]*

**Leni Loud:** Hey, Twilight! Guess what? I'm chopping lettuce........ at night.

*[the scene cuts to Leni in the bathroom wiping it clean with herself wrapped in sponges]*

**Leni Loud:** Look at me, I'm swabbing the bathroom...... at night.

*[the scene cuts to Leni at the grill picking up spatula, misses the spatula and hits the grill]*

**Leni Loud:** *[screams]* **OWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!** **I BURNT MY HAND!!** [Whines in pain] At night.

*[the scene cuts to Leni walking on the counter, and near to Twilight Sparkle in the counter, singing to the tune of Charge annoying her]*

**Leni Loud:** Night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, night, na-na-na-na-night! **NIGHT!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** **WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT UP?!?!** Here! *[gives Leni a bag of garbage]* Give me a moment's peace and go take out the trash!

**Leni Loud:** All right! *[takes the bag from Twilight]* Taking out the trash. Taking out the trash...at night. *[stops at the door]* Um, You mean.… [gulps] go outside?

**Twilight Sparkle:** That's where the dumpster is, yes.

**Leni Loud:** Um.... I don't know, Twilight. *[leans face against window]* It's kinda dark out there. And, well…. the location seems kind of scary?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Hmm..... But I thought you liked the night shift. I mean, after all, you were the one who said to..... *[giggles at the ghosties]*

**Leni Loud:** You're right, Twilight! *[lifts bag over her head]* For the Crossover Resturaunt!

*[Leni runs out of the building to the dumpster, screaming and panicking the whole way.]*

**Leni Loud:** WAAaaughhh! *[She reenters the building, panting heavily before she wipes her sweat off]* Whew! *[sighs and confidently says]* There! *[snapping her fingers]* Piece of cake!

**Twilight Sparkle:** So, tell me, you're not afraid of working the night?

**Leni Loud:** Pfft, nah. It’s just like the morning, only darker, nothing to worry or be afraid about?

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[to the viewers]* Hmm..... maybe I can make this worth my while..... heh heh. *[to Leni]* So let me get this straight, you’re *absolutely* not afraid?

[Leni simply nodded her head up and down in agreement]

**Twilight Sparkle:** Well I am. Especially after, *[looks around, gulps]* well, you know.

**Leni Loud:** *[turns around]* Huh, What? What do I know?

**Twilight Sparkle:** You mean you don't remember about it? It was all over the news in Toon City.

**Leni Loud:** [gasps] Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!

**Twilight Sparkle:** Hmm.... you know what, No, no, no. I probably shouldn't do it. It would probably ruin the night shift for you. *[gives a sympathetic look, then smiles slyly]*

**Leni Loud:** *[excitedly]* What happened?! What happened?! What happened?! [pause] Twilight, Tell. Me. *Everything*.

**Twilight Sparkle:** You mean you've never heard the story of.... um, *[thinks]* Uh, the "Hash-Slinging Slasher?"

**Leni Loud:** Wait… The Slash-Bringing Hasher?

**Twilight Sparkle:** The Hash-Slinging Slasher!

**Leni Loud:** The Sash-Ringing, the Trash-Singing, Mash-Flinging, The Flash-Springing, Ringing, The Cr-Crash-Dinging, daa.

**Twilight Sparkle:** .......Ugh, Yes. The Hash-Slinging Slasher. But, everyone just call him The Ha---*[breaks into scream]* because that's all they have time to say before he… GETS THEM!!

**Leni Loud:** GYaaahh!!!! *[begging]* Tell me the story!

[Twilight now commenced]

**Twilight Sparkle:** Heh heh heh, very well. [to the viewers] *Oh, I am SO going to enjoy this.* [to Leni] Ahem, Years ago at this very restaurant, the Hash-Slinging Slasher used to be a fry cook - just like you - only clumsier.

**Leni Loud:** [shrieked] Oh no!

**Twilight Sparkle:** And then,..... one night, when he was cutting the patties.... it happened.

**Leni Loud:** He.......... forgot the secret sauce?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Uh, no, um-

**Leni Loud:** He didn't wash his hands before returning to work?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Grrgh, No! He-!

**Leni Loud:** Um, Don’t tell me, [gasps] Irregular portions?

**Twilight Sparkle: NO!!!**

**Leni Loud:** Oh.... well then what?

**Twilight Sparkle:** He cut off his own hand by mistake.

**Leni Loud:** You mean like this? *[pulls one of her arms out of socket, another one grows back in its place]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** H-huh?! W-what the?!

**Leni Loud:** Or like this? *[pulls it again, another one grows back]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[surprised and confused]* How are you doing that?

**Leni Loud:** *[pulls it again,]* Or this? *[does it again]* Or this? *[does it again]* But what about this? Or this, or this, or this, or...

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[speechless]* Oookey... *[interrupts]* Except he wasn't-! Well, like, *you.....*

**Leni Loud:** *[ask with all her extra hands creating a rainbow-like line]* Oooohhhhh........... So?

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[facehoofs and growls]* SO IT ***DIDN’T*** GROW BACK!!!!

**Leni Loud:** *[screams]* **OOOHHH NOOOO!!!!** *[all Leni's extra arms lift their hands upwards and run away]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** And he replaced his hand with a rusty spatula. And then, he got hit by a bus! And...at his funeral, they fired him. So now, every..... erm, uh, what day is it?

**Leni Loud:** Tuesday.

**Twilight Sparkle:** Tuesday night, his ghost returns to The Crossover Restaurant to wreak his horrible vengeance.

**Leni Loud:** *[gasps]* But.... but tonight's Tuesday night!

**Twilight Sparkle:** Then he'll be coming.

**Leni Loud:** Um… I'm scared to ask, but H-how will we know?

**Twilight Sparkle:** There are three signs that signal the approach of the Hash-Slinging Slasher. First, the lights will flicker on and off. Next...

[Gumball soon walked up to the counter, interrupting the story]

**Gumball Watterson:** *[interrupts]* Hey, Twi? can I have some ketchup?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Huh? Oh! Here you go, Gumball. *[hands him ketchup]*

**Gumball Watterson:** Thanks. *[leaves]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** Ahem, as I was saying; Next, the phone will ring and there will be no one there. *[shows Leni eating her fingernails]* And finally, the Hash-Slinging Slasher arrives in the ghost of the bus that ran him over.

*[the camera shows Leni eating her fingernails, starts eating her arms, the arms regrow and she eats those and then she eats her arms like popcorn]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** Then he exits the bus and crosses the street without looking both ways because he's already dead! *[Leni is eating breadsticks like popcorn]* Then, he taps on the window with his grizzly spatula hand.

**Leni Loud:** No.

**Twilight Sparkle:** He opens the door

*[Twilight pushes her hoof to Leni's face, making it looking like she's a door that's being opened; while doing this she imitates the sound of a squeaky door opening. leans towards Leni's face, which sinks in]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** He then  slowly approaches the COUNTER! *["counter" echoes menacingly]* ...and you know what he does next?

**Leni Loud:** Oh no..... W-what?

**Twilight Sparkle:** You really want to know?

**Leni Loud:** What?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Are you sure you want to know?

**Leni Loud:** What?! WHAT?!?! **WHAT DOES HE DO?!?!?!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[sneaks up on Leni, taps her]* He gets you!

**Leni Loud:** *[now screams repeatedly for about 20 seconds]* **AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[laughing* in delight*]* Hahahahahaha! Ha!.... oh.... oh, Leni! My..... my *sides!* Hahahahaha!

[Leni however, still continued her screaming while Twilight’s look of enjoyment soon turned into a look of irritation]

**Twilight Sparkle:** Uh, Leni?

**Leni Loud:** *[continues screaming]* **AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** Hey, Leni?

**Leni Loud:** *[continues screaming]* **AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** Come on, Leni.

**Leni Loud:** *[Leni's pupils are now screaming too]* **AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** Snap out of it!

**Leni Loud:** *[screaming continues]* **AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH! AAAHHH!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[yelling in fury]* **LENI, THAT'S ENOUGH! I WAS *JOKING!!!!!!!***

**Leni Loud:** **AAAHHH! AA**- [stops screaming] Wait, what?

**Twilight Sparkle:** It's not true! None of it is true!

**Leni Loud:** It's not?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Oh for the love of...... Of course it’s not true! I mean, *come on,* Leni! No one has a spatula for a hand or a hoof. It was all a joke!

**Leni Loud:** Ooohhhhh...... *[laughs repeatedly like she did with screaming]* **HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHA!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** [groans and sighs] Ugh it's gonna be a long night.

*[cuts into later in the night. Shows Crossover Restaurant with a big sign that says 'Open Forever']*

*[Twilight is shown at the counter reading a book. Twilight hears spooky noises and feels water dripping on her but she doesn't know what it is.]*

**Leni Loud:** *[on the ceiling wearing suction cups cleaning]* Isn't this great, Twilight?

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[screams]* Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!

**Leni Loud:** There's never time to wash the ceiling during the day.

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[says to the viewers]* Grrgh! Open 24 hours a day, my *plot!* Seriously, What a ridiculous idea to give up one’s beauty sleep just to work longer without enough rest! I mean, think about it? Who wants a Fast Food at three in the morning?

*[the scene cuts to Chowders bedroom]*

**Chowder:** *[Chowder's alarm clock goes off]* Oh, boy! Three A.M.! *[whips out a* Chicken Cheese Burger *and starts to eat it]*

*[the scene cuts back to The Crossover Restaurant, Twilight was still ranting]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** Just look at this place. It's like a ghost town in here!

*[the lights start to flicker on and off]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[to Leni]* Haha. Very funny, Leni.

**Leni Loud:** Very funny, What?

**Twilight Sparkle: "**And the lights will flicker on and off." Just like the story. Yeah, I get it. Nice job Leni, you had me there, but… *[realizes no one is flickering the light switch and looks shocked]*

**Leni Loud:** Hey, Twilight, how are you doing that without using magic to move the switch?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Hey, I'm not doing it, Leni! And besides, even if I was, my *horn* would’ve been glowing. I’ll tell you what it *is* though; It must be the stupid, faulty wiring in here. This place isn't built to run 24 hours a day! Everyone usually sleeps at that time.

*[the phone rings and Twilight picks it up using her magic]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** What, what, hello? Hello? Hello?

**Leni Loud:** *[walks up to the counter]* Oh wow, Nice try, Twilight.

**Twilight Sparkle:** Nice try, what?

**Leni Loud:** "The phone will ring and there will be no one there." *[raises her eyebrows up and down and giggles]* Oh, you crack me up.

**Twilight Sparkle:** B-but, Leni, I swear, I'm not doing this. *[hangs up phone]* Okay, okay! Calm down! Calm down! Don’t freak out, Twilight. Play it cool. Alright now! What was it? First it was the lights! *[lights flicker on and off]* And the phone. [phone rings] And then.... [gasps] The Walls will Ooze GREEN SLIIIIME!?!

*[the walls start to ooze green slime]*

**Leni Loud:** Oh no. That’s just Smooze coming to pick up his order. [to Smooze] See ya later, Smoozinator!

[Smooze then made an *“A-okay”* sign before leaving into the night.]

**Twilight Sparkle:** O-kay then,..... so I've cleared that. But what was that third thing?

*[Twilight hears a motor, turns her head and opens her eyes wide; a bus pulls up to the Crossover Restaurant doors]*

**Leni Loud:** *[walks up to the counter]* Huh, that’s strange? I didn't know the buses ran this late.

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[gulps]* They don't!

*[The Hash-Slinging Slasher gets out of the bus and the bus pulls away. All Twilight and Leni can see is his spooky outline]*

**Leni Loud:** Well, looks like they're dropping someone off.

*[from outside, The Hash-Slinging Slasher lifts his spatula which is for a hand]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** [screamed hysterically as her mane grew upright and wiggled] **AAAHHHHHH!!!!!**

**Twilight Sparkle:** THE SASH-RINGING, THE-THE-THE FLASH-SINGING, THE-BASH-PINGING…...

**Leni Loud:** The Hash-Slinging Slasher! *[starts to cry]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** At last you understand! We're..... we’re doomed!

**Leni Loud:** No! That's not it. *[wipes tear]* I am just so touched that you would go through the trouble to dress up as a ghostly fry cook and stand on the other side of the street just to entertain me! You must really like me! I mean *really,* *really* like me!

*[Leni cries again as The Hash-Slinging Slasher is still pounding on the door]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** Leni, there are two major problems with your theory. One - I like you, but not *that* much and certaintly not in that way! And two - How can that be me, when I'm standing **RIGHT HERE?!**?!

*[The Hash-Slinging Slasher taps on the door with his spatula for a hand]*

**Leni Loud:** *[screams to the point where her hair grows and start wiggling]* **AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!**

**Leni Loud and Twilight Sparkle:** THE HASH-SLINGING SLASHER!!!!

*[The Hash-Slinging Slasher walks in the door and up to the counter]*

**Twilight Sparkle:** *[screams]*

**Leni Loud:** He's going to flip me! Get away! Get away!

**Twilight Sparkle:** L-Leni,, I-I’m so, *so* sorry about all the mean things I’ve said to you in the past! I never meant them, and.... you were a really ***great*** friend! and I've always sort of liked you!

**Leni Loud:** Twilight, I used one of the pages in your books as toilet paper!

**Twilight Sparkle:** Huh?! Wait you what?!

**Leni Loud and Twilight Sparkle:** [both shrieked in unison] Get away! Get away! You're not welcome here!

(The shadow figure approaches towards the light and *reaches the counter* revealing that it's Dribbal the Glorp Corp Mixel holding a spatula in his hand. Twilight & Leni stop screaming)

**Leni Loud and Twilight Sparkle:** Huh?

**Dribbal:** Hey, Guys! sorry to spook you, are you okay?

**Leni Loud:** Dribbal?!

**Twilight Sparkle:** You're the Hash-Slinging Slasher?!?!

**Dribbal:** The what-now?

**Twilight Sparkle:** B-but I.... y-you..... ugh, never mind.....

**Leni Loud:** So what are you doing here at this late hour?

**Dribbal:** Well I heard about what you guys were doing & I came to ask for a job application? I even brought my own spatula. *[holds up spatula]* I called here earlier, but I hung up 'cause I was nervous. Plus, when I thought I heard your voice, I was surprised, so I *also* came down here to make sure it was you!

**Leni Loud:** Welllll....... if you *wanna* work here.... Do you have references?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Never mind that, why would you seek out a job in the first place?

**Dribbal:** Hey, I maybe a Glorp Corp Mixel. But even I never once applied to work for someone, so I’m inexperience in that department?

**Leni Loud:** Oh, well that does make some sense?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Wait, wait, wait! Something *still* doesn’t add up......

**Dribbal:** What?

**Twilight Sparkle:** Dribbal, if that was you on the phone and you on the bus, then who was flickering the lights?

**Leni Loud:** That’s right, we still don’t know?

*[the lights flicker on and off; but this time, Leni, Twilight, and Dribbal look over to see a vampire flicking the light switch]*

**Leni Loud, Twilight Sparkle and Dribbal:** Nosferatu!

**Nosferatu:** *[smiles, light turns off]*

***THE END.***
