I really couldn't believe what she told me last night. After I recovered from my shock I had to wait until she recovered to let everyone know what actually happened since I beat her in a fight. I was still confused about her customs, and this is what she tells me.

According to her race's traditions, when a Griffon male desires a female, he'll challenge her to battle. If the male is victorious, it proves to the female that he is strong enough to protect her and their young and that he are worthy to claim her as his mate. When a female loses to a male, she has no right to refuse him, the female will also become submissive only to her mate, doing everything he asks without question or hesitation. According to Griffon tradition, myself and Gilda are married, and Griffon marriages are strictly till death do to my part in fighting her. Now nothing I can say or do can get me out of this. I'm apparently married until one of us dies; end of story.

I only wanted to help her open up to others, now she'll open up to me in ways I never even expected.

"You mean to tell me that I'm married to you and I don't have a freakin' say in it?!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as I was freaking out at this point and sadly, it was loud enough for the girls to hear.

"Y'all alright sugarcube?" AppleJack asked as she opened the door.

"You're married to who?" Rainbow Dash asked a little angry but also surprised as she looked towards Gilda on the bed.

Princess Celestia then explains that since Gilda lost to Lloyd a few day ago she is now his eternal mate until one of them dies. She also explains when she met the leader of the Gryphalla as he explained their customs to her.

Rarity 'forever the drama queen' falls on the floor with a hand over her head. AppleJack and Rainbow Dash threw jealous looks at Gilda, the CMC had expressions of happiness to utter shock, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were scared considering it was Gilda,Twilight just sat where they were, while Celestia, Luna, and Gleaming had no such shock or any expression for that matter. They seemed calm. Cadence was actually happy for me and Pinkie Pie, she brought out what looked like a confetti cannon and shout out a banner with a bunch of confetti and it said 'Surprised, You're Engaged' on it. Even FlutterShy and Whirlwind were happy for me.

"Wow, not only do you beat a gryphon in a fight, but you also become her spouse. Nice work kid." Gleaming praised.

"Please just stop. I'm still weirded out by this." And I still was. I have to get to know a girl first by going out with her. Yet now, I'm married to Gilda for beating her in a fight. Suddenly Gleaming came up behind me and patted me on the back.

"Not a chance. So 'Lovebird', when's the honeymoo-" That was all she could say before Gilda jumped off the bed and got right up in Gleaming's face.

"Back off, Bitch! Right now!"

"Fine, I'm going. Jeez." She stated as she left. Good thing too since Gleaming was starting to get on my nerves.

"Thanks."

"Anything for my mate." She wrapped her arm around my neck and pulled me in close enough to whisper into my left ear. "Anything~" She then let me go and out of the room with a hypnotic sway in her step.

Maybe this isn't such a bad thing.

Three day later things started to tone down a little since Gilda let go of her anger. Not only is she friends with Rainbow Dash again, but now she has new friends to hang out with. I'm not sure about the Crusaders, but I know that AppleBloom, Scootaloo, and Babs seem to like her. Sweetie Bell was still afraid of me and I really don't know why. I got up for my morning routine when I smelled something fresh in the kitchen.

"Is someone cooking?" I asked as I went into the kitchen. I walk in to see Gilda fixing breakfast for everyone. I was surprised at that not just cause she knew how to cook, she was even considerate to fix everyone breakfast.

"You fixed breakfast?" I asked to which she flinched for a second and turned around to see me. I also flinched since it wasn't her cooking that surprised me, I nearly fainted with how she looked. Her hair being tied in a ponytail was okay, but what she was wearing was gonna lead me on the train to nosebleed Ville. She only had an apron and black laced panties on. The apron appeared to smush her breasts together pretty well. I must be living in one of those wet dreams that you get when you're asleep.

"I take it you like my look." She said saucily.

"You could say that." I managed to say as I sported a heavy blush and was this close to a nose bleed.

Definitely not a bad thing!

And then Rainbow walks in. "Oh, wow! Something smells goo- Holy Buck!" Rainbow Dash shouted when she came from downstairs and saw what Gilda was wearing. She had a hint of pink on her cheeks.

"Hehe, hey Rainbow Dash." She greeted but rather nervously.

"What the hay are you wearing?"

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I got up and came down here."

"Hey is breakfast ready ye-" I heard Diamond Tiara's voice and turned around to see that she had a shocked expression on her face. That and most of the other girls in the room carrying heavy blushes on their faces, except for Gleaming and the princesses.

"Oh my.." FlutterShy face was deep red when she saw Gilda, while Rarity and AppleJack led the young ones upstairs, and Twilight just stood their with her mouth agape. Gilda was also sporting a blush since she didn't think this one through. She only wanted Lloyd to see her this way, not the others. The princesses while having blushes weren't as big as the others.

"Gilda, I thought you said you hated this kind of thing." said Rainbow Dash and she knew Gilda hated this kind of thing.

"What, I can't try something new?" She enquired to try and stand up for herself.

"Well I think it's cute." I said earning a surprise from all of the girls.

"Y'all really think this is cute?" AppleJack asked confused.

"What? You can't go judging someone by what they say, do, or think okay?" I enquired but something ran through my mind as to why she was doing this. Maybe she was trying to turn me on or something.

"Thanks Lloyd."

"Could you at least change out of that and please put some clothes on?" Twilight asked.

"All right. In the meantime you all can enjoy breakfast." Gilda enquired as she walked back to her room and changed. As I was thinking to myself FlutterShy accidentally brushed up against my shoulder. She let out a cute 'eep' as she looked near me.

"Um, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. It was an accident."

'Oh he's so sweet, so caring, so handsome....' She thought but stop as that last set of words made her face cherry red. As she ran for the nearest bathroom.

"What was that all about?" I know she's the shy one but to blush that hard?

"So what the agenda for today?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"Well a friend of mine sent me a movie that he wanted me to check out. Something called Underworld; rise of the Lycans"

"You mean werewolves?" Rainbow Dash asked enthusiastically.

"Yeah, and there's vampires in it too. The female lead is a vampire who falls for the male lead, a human turned vampire/werewolf hybrid. Sounds cool. I hope it's better than the last vampire/werewolf movie I saw. That shit was terrible." Pinkie then shot her hand up like a child in school trying to get the teacher's attention. It would have been cute if she wasn't jumping up and down making her fun bags bounce. Well, she has my attention at least. "Yes Pinkie?"

"What was the movie's name?"

"It's called Twil..." I shot a quick glance to the lavender Alicorn who was thankfully having a conversation with Celestia. I'm glad she didn't hear that. I do not want to have that talk. "Moving on!"

"Twile Moving On? Sounds boring."

"It is. Don't watch it."

"Okie dokie lokie!" It makes me wonder how she has an attractive body, yet she has the personality of a little kid. I then heard footsteps from upstairs signaling that FlutterShy came down.

"Hey, Flutters." She didn't look my way for some reason. I wondered what was on her mind.

-FlutterShy first person-

I don't know what happened to me earlier. I never really think like that before, but Lloyd is somehow different. I was so engrossed in my thoughts I didn't hear him call my name. I feel so nervous but at the same time safe around him. I can't help but be drawn to him.

'You like him don't you FlutterShy?' I froze in place when I heard a voice from someone that didn't sound like the other girls.

"W-w-w-who's there?" I asked frantically leaving an eerie silence. I didn't hear the voice for the rest of the day as it went by.

'It won't hurt to throw yourself to him' The voice came back two hours later but rather seductively scaring me.

"Who is that?" I asked again but it was once again followed by silence. I didn't hear the voice for the rest of the day and a good thing too since it was starting to scare me.

"Uh FlutterShy, who are you talking to?" I heard Lloyd ask me as I turned his way and he had a worried expression on his face.

"Um... it's nothing."

"Okay then.

-Lloyd's Perspective-

It was now 8:00 pm. Meaning it was now movie night. I went and ordered the girls some vegan pizza and for Gilda and myself some oven baked sandwiches from Domino's pizza. The total was 87.50$ but it was worth it. I wanted the girls to be entertained for the movie. As I played the girls awed at the suspense and were a little shocked at the near end of it on how it ended. FlutterShy forever a bundle of nerves jumped at this scary part so she latched onto one of my arms. AppleJack, Rainbow Dash, and Gilda all had jealous looks from her actions. It wasn't FlutterShy's fault she was so cute. She finally let go after she saw me and let out a small 'eep'. I couldn't believe how cute she was.

As we all watched the movie my thought drifted back to Sweetie Bell. When she made eye contact with me, she quickly turned away. I wanted to find out why she was afraid of me now. I wanted to assure her that I'm not a threat to her in any way. Sadly my thought were interrupted when I felt a hand near my privates causing me to flinch. I thought it was Gilda since I'm now her spouse, but when I turned my head, it wasn't Gilda but the lovable FlutterShy.

"Uh FlutterShy, what are you doing?" I asked and was very thankful that everyone else was still watching the movie to pay attention to us. Her eyes looked glazed for some reason almost as if someone was controlling her. She was close to kissing me had her consciousness not caught up. She looks up to see me and our lips almost meeting she was so freaked out she 'eep' causing the others to look our way as she ran upstairs.

"That's the second time she did that." I thought as I put up the movie.

"Thou wanders what is wrong with her." I hear Luna say.

"Not really sure, but I hope whatever just happen clears up soon." I didn't know how wrong I was gonna be later on.

-FlutterShy's Perspective-

I ran back up to the bathroom after what happened. I don't really know what's wrong with me. First I accidentally brush up against him, then I have these mixed feelings, then I start hearing voices in my head, and now this.

'You are so clueless, you know that?' Again the voice returned.

"Who is that? Where are you?" I shouted in frustration. I thought I was going crazy, but then I looked in the mirror and what I saw really scared me. I thought she was gone for good, but I was wrong. Standing in the mirror was my other form of who they use to call me during the vampire fruit bat incident. Her red eyes, her bat-like wings and ears, as well as her fangs. Her breast were a size bigger than mine as well as her flank. It was FlutterBat.

'Miss me doll?' she giggled in the reflection.

"I thought my friends got rid of you."

'You thought wrong honey. Twilight thought that she removed all traces of me, but my consciousness grafted a piece of me onto your brain. All I needed was a spark of magic to help regenerate. When those school kids were fighting, all I needed was enough time to recuperate and here I am. I hope you don't plan on sleeping honey, cause if you do, my conscience will take over yours and you won't be anything but a memory.' She cackles at the end of her response leaving me to slump to the floor sobbing. I wanted to talk to the others but I didn't know what to do.

-Lloyd's Perspective-

I wasn't really sure what was wrong with FlutterShy. First things get awkward between us, and now she's acting all weird. It was already 11:00, so I thought it be best for everyone to cash in early. I thought I wasn't going to get anymore surprises, but I suddenly felt a chill go up my spine.

'Why do I feel like something bad is gonna happen to me?' I thought, but I ignored it as I change into my night clothes and drifted to sleep.

-Mane Six Bedroom FlutterShy's Perspective-

Most of the girls already went to bed, but I struggled to stay awake to prevent FlutterBat from taking over. I didn't want her to harm any of my friends, especially Lloyd. I could still hear her in my head as she tried to make me fall asleep.

'You're getting tired FlutterShy.'

"No, I won't let you." I tried to prevent her from taking over my mind. She was getting stronger as the minutes passed on. I didn't understand why she chose now to show up when the movie played earlier today.

'You're getting weaker' she cooed

"Stop it."

I wanted to distract her somehow so I walked into the kitchen for some water. Sadly I slipped on a wet spot and fell down hitting my head in the process leaving me unconscious.

'Where am I?' I was still unconscious but I felt like I wasn't. I woke up on the field of Sweet Apple Acres near AppleJack's farm. I heard hoofsteps believing that it was one of my friends, but when I turned around there was no one there. I thought that I was hearing things but then I heard the sound of wings flapping, and when I turned back around she was there.

'Hello FlutterShy'

"Aaugh! Wh-wh-what are you doing here? I mean I thought I was-"

"Awake? You knocked yourself out leaving an opening for me. Taking you're body now would be a little boring so I thought we play a little game to keep myself amused." She giggled as she moved making her chest bounce. I had no other choice as I ran for my life. If I could keep her from getting to me and taking over my body.

'Oh this should be fun' she cackled. She enjoyed seeing me cry like a little filly. As I tried to get away from her. I ran for what felt like hours until she had me cornered near a rock quarry.

"N-no please..." I practically begged to keep her from having my body.

'Any last words before you become nothing but a memory my dear?' she asked as she glazed her hand onto my cheek.

"Please don't hurt Lloyd' That was my last wish. I thought it was over until another green vortex appeared into my dream taking FlutterBat out of my mind. That was the last thing I saw until I blacked out.

-CMC's Room-

"Well that was an awesome movie." Babs stated as she changed into blue shorts and a tank top.

"No kiddin'. Hey Sweetie Bell, what'd y'all think of the movie? Sweetie Bell?" AppleBloom asked her friends but she didn't answer.

"Hey Bell, where's your head at?" Scootaloo asked as she batted the young unicorn lightly upside the head.

"Huh wha?" Sweetie Bell finally turned her head.

"We asked y'all wut you thought of the movie?"

"Oh it was good."

"Come on Sweetie Bell, what's got you staring off into space lately?" Scootaloo teased.

"It's nothing."

"You sure Bell?"

"I'm sure. Let's just go to sleep." After that the rest of the girls changed into their night gowns and hadn't said anything else the rest of the way.

-Sweetie Bell's Dream-

'Where am I?' I asked since all I saw was nothing but black. Ever since I saw Lloyd's glare, it was hard for me to even look at him. He scared me and I feel uneasy around him. I know he's taking care of us but that glare he made; I felt like he was going to do something bad to all of us.I lost my train of thought when I then heard a loud smack and what sounded like my sister screaming.

'Rarity, is that you what happened?' I shouted as I ran through the darkness. The closer I got the louder the sounds became. I stopped at a large black door that was in the middle. When I opened it, I froze completely at what I witnessed. My sister was bound in some weird thing that held her privates out. She had lashes all over her body as I saw her in tears. She also had this weird white stuff coming out of her lower area. I turned to see Lloyd as he had that awful glare out again.

"Why hello Sweetie Bell." He greeted but his voice felt all demonic.

"What did you do to my sister?"

"Just had a little fun with her. The same what I'm going to do to you and the others." He threatened as I ran for my life. I closed the door only for him to kick it open. I ran to another room to find Gilda having her wings bound in some type of plastic as well as Rainbow Dash. They had dazed looks in their eyes when then noticed me. Whatever room I tried to find and hide from Lloyd, all of my friends would be in each room with a different type of torture.

"Come out Bell" I heard him from behind me. Lloyd was right behind me. I finally ran into a dead end in the corridor where he had me cornered.

"Please, let me go" I begged as he got closer to me. He didn't even bother listening to me. Before he got the chance to grab me, something inside of me snapped causing my horn to flare up. The same magic surge passed through me as it attacked Lloyd as he screamed and disappeared into a puff of black smoke.

-CMC Bedroom-

AppleBloom woke up heard Sweetie Bell thresh into her bed so she got up to try and wake her up only to be pushed back by an invisible force.

"What the hay?"

"What's going on?" Babs asked as she was the second one to wake up.

"Could you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep." Scootaloo shouted but stopped as she looked up to see Sweetie Bell hovering with things in the room flying around her. The girls form the other rooms felt something was off. when they heard loud humming and walked over to the girls room to find green lights on.

"Girls what happened?" Twilight asked as she and the others walked in.

"A-ah don't know. Ah saw Sweetie Bell thrash in the bed an- and when I tried to wake her up, this happened." AppleBloom stuttered as sparks of magic were set flying.

"What are we gonna do? That's the second time this happened." Scootaloo stated as she brings up how the girls got here. As she finished another surge flashes getting stronger by the second. Before it could do anymore damage, Princess Celestia creates a magic band and straps it around the base of Sweetie's horn before she could anymore powerful and for the energy surge to pass.

"You said that this happened twice now?" Luna asked

"Yeah."

-Sweetie Bells Perspective-

I regain consciousness after I wake up to see my sister carrying me in a bone crushing hug. That last thing I remember was Lloyd torturing us and then I blacked out. I was so glad to see my sister safe that I cried into her clothes.

"Sweetie Bell please calm down."

"What happened? You're friends mention you were thrashing around in your sleep." Luna asked out of worry and curiosity.

"Lloyd was hurting us." The girls all traded confused looks as to what I said.

"Why would he hurt us silly filly? He's taking care of us." Pinkie stated cheerfully, but I had nothing to be cheerful for.

"I saw him in my dreams. He had you all bound in something one by one every time I opened a door. Then he tried to go after me. After he had me in a corner, I screamed and black out. I don't remember much after that."

"You were having a nightmare young child." Luna said comforting me.

"There's no way Lloyd would even think of doing that. He meant it too." Rainbow Dash stated.

"Really? I feel like an idiot." I said sulking then felt something on my horn. "What's this thing?"

"You somehow triggered another surge of magic, so Princess Celestia had to bind an inhibitor to your horn until it faded." Twilight brought up leaving me utterly confused. When this first happened was when Diamond Tiara made me upset. Are my surges really based on my emotions?

"Something must've triggered your fear. We'll have to talk to Lloyd tomorrow." Gleaming brought up.

"So in the meantime, let's go back to be- Girls where's FlutterShy?" Twilight asked as I looked around with the other to notice that she wasn't in the room with them.

"I'm not really sure. She might still be asleep."

"She shouldn't be. We all heard the noise from in her room. I'm surprised Lloyd hasn't heard it. He must be a heavy sleeper." Gilda brought up.

"We better got him." As they left the door we all heard what sounded like groaning coming from downstairs.

-Lloyd's Room-

I was currently out like a light since the movie. I remember having a soda and when I walked up to my room, I felt light headed. So I decided to call it in early and start fresh tomorrow. Sadly I was unaware of a certain stalker in the room as red eyes made their way in to the night sky.

-FlutterShy's Perspective-

I regained consciousness a few minutes later after FlutterBat disappeared. I look around the room, then down at myself to see that she hasn't taken over. I then hear hoofsteps behind me, so I turn around to spot my friends coming down the steps.

"Y'all alright there sugarcube?" AppleJack asked putting me at ease.

"My dear FlutterShy what happened to your head?" Rarity asked and I remembered everything that happened earlier.

"Girls, FlutterBat is back."

"What, how is she back?"

"Who's FlutterBat?" Gilda asked as she wasn't around when the fruit bats came through.

"I'll fill you all in later, but right now we have to help Lloyd. He's in danger." When I mentioned his name, Gilda was the first to respond since she didn't want to lose him. The other girls soon followed as we ran up to Lloyd's room.

-FlutterBat First Person-

Oh, poor, poor Carter knew little of what was going on. While I was inside of FlutterShy, I had her fix a little something in his drink that would instantly put him to sleep. I planned to have my way with him since he was out like this. Something about really turned me on. He may not be a stallion, but he's more of a stud. I walked over to his bed and gave him a light peck on his left cheek. He looked so cute being out like this. I still don't know how I got out of my wimpy half FlutterShy. One minute I was in her head scaring the Tartarus out of her next I see her in the kitchen unconscious, but who am I to complain? I'm finally out and everyone was distracted so now, I have him all to myself.

I slowly walked over to his bed and pulled on his blankets ever so slightly and saw a little tent in his pants. It made me wonder how big he really was. As I pulled the down to his knees, I took my hand and started stroking him little toy. After a good minute he was hard and wow was he big. It looked to be eleven inches. Seeing his member up close, he looked as big as a stallion. I clearly have chosen my perfect mate. I licked my muzzle in anticipation as I stroked his member, ever so eagerly to taste the cream filling inside. Sadly my little fun time was interrupted when the others battered the door down and saw me near my prize.

-General POV-

"FlutterBat, so you are back." Twilight stated as FlutterBat just hissed as she ascended to the ceiling of the room.

"Stay where you are." Luna demanded. FlutterBat tried to fly out of the window only to be stopped by Glimmer Shield with a magic rope that ensnared her by binding her wings, then later wrapping around her body. FlutterBat thrashed around wildly trying to break free but sadly to no avail. She looks up at her captors with fearful eyes as to what they were going to do to her.

"Y'all mind explaining how yer even back?" AppleJack asked furious.

"Well, I grafted a piece of my consciousness onto FlutterShy's brain and all I needed was a spark of magic to break loose. As I was about to take her subconsciousness, this weird green vortex pulls me out of her dreams and well, here I am." FlutterBat stated trying to act innocent.

"That doesn't explain what you were trying to do to Lloyd." Gilda yelled furious thinking that FlutterBat was trying to harm him.

"If you thought I was trying to harm him, then you're wrong. I just wanted to have a little fun, and seeing his tool up close you'd do the same." All the girls were wondering where she was getting at until they liked at his member up close. It was amazing he was still asleep and he didn't even notice what was going on. His member was a little bigger than some of the stallions back in Equestria. A good 11 in.

"Wait is that his-?" Diamond Tiara asked blushing very hard, to which Rarity shielded her and her little sisters eyes from the sight of it. AppleJack did the same with AppleBloom and Babs, as well as Rainbow Dash with Silver Spoon and Scootaloo. It didn't help much since Scoots wings started to stiffen from seeing his member up close.

"Wow, I never knew he got a package like this." Gilda smirked. the other girls didn't say anything but carried distinctive blushes on their faces.

"Ah don't think any of us did." That was when the girls heard groaning signaling that Lloyd was waking up.

-Back to Lloyd-

I started to squirm a little as I felt a breeze down below. I wake up to see all of the girls standing over me which was kinda creeping me out. As I looked closer though, I noticed that their faces were bright red.

"What are you girls staring at?" I asked but then I looked down and noticed that my pants were gone, and to my horror, my private area was out for the world to see. I thrashed around wildly trying to find my pants and put them back on.

"Why the hell were my pants off? Did you all do something to me while I was asleep?"

"Of course not, silly." Pinkie giggled, "It was FlutterBat that wanted to give you a pony-ride."

"..." I was still confused by what Pinkie said until I saw who I thought was FlutterShy tied up in a corner. Her wings were more unique like a bat. Not to mention she has fangs and pointed ears. I then turn my head to the still blushing Twilight, "Explain."

Then they tell him about the Vampire Fruit Bat incident, and about how FlutterBat came to be. FlutterShy brings up how she got out, and all that ties to Sweetie Bell bringing up that maybe she was the one that let her out. She tell Lloyd that she was scared of that stare he gave Diamond Tiara when they first got here, and the nightmare she had that involved him being a brutal master.

"Kid, that just hurts. Why didn't you just tell me?"

"My guess was that glare y'all gave er. Gave the poor girl nightmares." AppleJack brings up. That was when I walked up to Sweetie Bell and give her a massive hug.

"Sweetie Bell, you got to understand that I wouldn't do anything to hurt you girls, that's not me. When I knocked out Gilda, I happened to nurse her back to health, not to mention that I'm trying to keep you all safe." MY words were able to reach the pre adult mare as she cried into my chest.

"I'm sorry, about all of this."

"It's okay kiddo."

"Aw what a touching moment." FlutterBat cooed causing everypony to turn her way as she was still in hot water. Gilda was about to beat her into a living pulp if I hadn't stepped in.

"Look, I know you girls are probably mad at her right now for whatever she was about to do to me, but lets just take it easy. As long as she behaves her self she can stay." Well, since the girls are reluctant, I had to take charge and lay down the ground rules, for everyone.

No one is allowed to harm FlutterBat in any way, and everyone has to play nice.

FlutterBat is to sleep in the attic, is not allowed to harm anyone, at night Luna and Celestia will place a barrier to keep her in the attic, and most importantly, she is not allowed to try and rape Lloyd again.

"Anyone got a problem with that?"

"Ah don't see any problem with it as long as she behave herself." AppleJack agreed.

"If big sis is on board then so am ah." AppleBloom followed up. I received a platoon of approvals from everyone. All except Gilda.

"Come on Gilda please." After a good five minutes she agreed seeing that this was the only way she wouldn't cause trouble.

"Alright. You're real lucky that he's holding us back." Gilda threatened dead serious if FlutterBat tried anything. As all of the girls left, FlutterBat walked up to me.

"Thanks for sticking up for me. If you hadn't said anything I might've gotten the pulp beaten out of me."

"Sure, let's just go to bed." She said as she left for the attic as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna kept good on their word and applied a barrier to keep her at bay, leaving me at peace.
