Applejack's Vampire Siblingby firebirdabirdoffireChaptersChapter 1 - Sharp LandingChapter 2 - Family Ruin? Chapter 3 - Plainly Not ExpectedPrologueChapter 1 - Sharp LandingShe heard voices. They were waking her up. She hoped it wasn't that scary mare with the scary needle in that scary room with the delicious fruit. She felt a lot of pain all over her body. She hadn't felt this much pain since... since... She couldn't recall anything, really. Aside from the fruit hunt earlier, everything was blank. She went with what her instincts told her to do. "She's wakin' up." She heard, not that she could understand it. She was a little late to notice the smell in the room, it smelled like the apple she ate earlier. And that's not a bad thing. "Let's hope she's manageable, darlin'." She heard. "That sounds insulting, honey." "Sorry, Flutter. Bat. FlutterBat." Something about that seemed really familiar to her. "That could work." FlutterBat opened her eyes. She was with the ponies she saw first back in the hospital, this made her happy. She raised her neck and hissed in pain. "Take it easy there." FlutterBat didn't understand them but she stopped moving anyway. "If ya keep doing that you'll keep hurting yerself." The light red pony said. FlutterBat looked around. "Um... Howdy there, I'm Fuji Apple. This is mah wife Red Gala. And that’s mah mother-in-law Granny Smith. We brought you to the hospital. We're glad ya survived; it's a miracle you survived that. And we're sorry for what you've become." The young bright green mare said. "Can you really not talk or remember anything?" FlutterBat kept looking around, seemingly ignoring them. Her nose spotting a fruit basket full of apples in the back of the room next to the old green pony. She tried to reach it but it hurt her. "Ah think the youngin' wants an apple. Ah'll get it." Granny Smith reached for the apple. "Catch!" She threw to Fuji, he juggled the apple clumsily. Before he could properly catch it (how would an earth pony catch something like an apple anyway?), something else caught it. The filly's tongue was close enough the pull it towards her. She quickly pulled it towards her and sucked it's juices. The Apples looked the mush that was an apple fell to the floor. Flutter spat out the seeds. Gala and Fuji got their hooves out of the way, even if the seeds came nowhere close. "Sheeshus." Fuji said out of reflex. Gala took a look at the seeds. "Hmm... Mother? Darlin'? We might can use these seeds." "Ah remember reading somewhere that seeds eaten by them vampire fruit bats are very fertile. Ah might be misremembering." Fuji said. "This might not be all bad... Ah say this, about using this fillies misfortune for our benefit, and it sounds wrong..." "Ah don't think it can be helped, Darlin'." Gala said flatly. She looked the clock. "Mah stars, that time already? It's time to pick up Li'l Mac." "Alright honey. Where she's gonna sleep tonight, granny?" Fuji asked Mother-in-law Smith. "Applejack's room's empty." Granny said quickly, she didn't even to think about it. "AJ's room it is." Fuji clearly did. He facehooved himself. "Ah forgot she left. Well, time to bring you to a comfortable bat- Ah mean bed, Flutters. You're gonna meet your brother soon." Fuji lifted FlutterBat up and went upstairs. FlutterBat hissed at the pain. "Once we're there you won't be in a world of hurt." A little later, outside the school Big Mac attends... "Howdy Li'l Mac, how was school today?" Gala hugged her son. "'Twas a normal school day... How's Flutter?" Macintosh was curious how the filly from the clouds was doing. Gala broke the hug as she made an uneasy face. "Something wrong, momma?" "Ah'll tell ya on the way there. C'mon, let's go home." "Is she okay?" "Um... How do Ah put this, she's broken a lot of bones... But she will recover from it eventually. She'll be living with us from now on." "Why?" "The broken bones obviously, amnesia and she became a fruit vampire." Gala told her son what we already knew as blunt as possible. "A what?" Macintosh was surprised that of things happened. But it kinda makes sense, she was accidentally bitten by a bat. "A fruit vampire." Gala put some emphases on "fruit". "That's awful..." Needless to say Li'l Macintosh felt even more sorry for the filly. And little scared; living with a vampire doesn't sound too nice. "Eeyup." "What does amnesia mean?" He asked before asking how they'll handle the vampire. "Memory loss." "Poor gal. Do we have any silver bullets left?" "We're not gunna to kill her! I said earlier she'll living with us remember? And that's the weakness of horswolves." She explained calmly. Mac sometimes said he wanted to be a vampire hunter, so how he mixed up vampire and werewolf weaknesses... Oops... "But she'll eat all apples from the trees!" Li'l Macintosh got paranoid. "Like that time Granny once talked about! We'll we be-" Gala cut him off. "We'll make sure she just gets enough every day." There was a small moment of silence. "Can Ah ask ya somethin'?" "Has it to do with Flutter?" "Eeyup. Ah'm asking you to play with her. Or at least talk to her if possible. If she for whatever reason bites you we some sorta antidote. Not like she can do much to you anyway. She's hurting all over." "Ah'll try..." Macintosh's body was shaking a little. FlutterBat was lying on the bed. Fuji gave FlutterBat some toys on the ~~bat~~ bed. A toy chariot, Applejack's stress ball, a bootleg nightmare night mascot doll complete with a shoddily made zero gravity mane and tail, an apple person/pony made out of yarn and a rubik's cube. The door was closed but not locked. The sun shined through the window, FlutterBat slowly, and so painlessly as possible, backed off from the ray of sun light. The sunlight didn't hurt her, it was just really sharp on the eyes. Flutter poked the doll. The mane and tail were alluring, so naturally it caught Flutter's attention. She picked it up and started to played with its hair. She heard the door opening and some mumbling downstairs thanks due to her enhanced ears. "We're home. C'mon Li'l Mac, let's introduc..." FlutterBat stopped payed attention. She was too engrossed in the story she didn't know she was making. How the evil party cube kidnapped the kind and generous twilight bringer, the brave apple and his loyal suck-up stress ball try to safe her. Her accidental story was interrupted by a slightly creaking door. It revealed Red Gala and a red colt that she first saw when she woke up. It was quiet; FlutterBat stared at the two. Li'l Macintosh tried to avoid eye contact. Or regular contact even. Not out of maliciousness or any other mean spirited in anyway. He didn't want to think about the pain she is in. He failed, it didn't hurt that much. "Hey Flutter, this is Big Macintosh. We usually call him Li'l Mac." Gala patted her son's back. "Can Ah play with you?" Li'l Mac asked a little shakily. FlutterBat tilted her head. Li'l Mac edged closer. To his surprise, FlutterBat didn't intimidate him or directly or indirectly hurt him. She just stared at him really. Li'l Mac climbed on the bed. "What'ya playing?" Li'l Mac said looking at toys in front of Flutter. She didn't reply; she just kept staring. This was both awkward for Li'l Mac and Gala. "So... Ya like fruit?" Li'l Mac picked up the yarn apple as he asked her, he squished the apple. FlutterBat looked at the apple repeatedly getting squished. She reached her arm that hurt the least out for the apple, Li'l Mac let her have it. Flutter started squishing it too, she started experimenting with it. Squishing it against her belly, the tip of her nose, her ear, her leg and finally her cheek. Its softness felt really nice, besides the fruit she ate and this comfortable bed, this was the best thing she experienced. She smiled. "Hm... Ah hope still means she likes stuffed animals." "She can't have any of mah collection!" Li'l Mac was quick to say. "Her fangs might damage ‘em." Gala chuckled. "We'll ask for new one. What would she like?" Li'l Mac got an idea. "How about a-" "-a bat pony made out of fruit?" Fuji asked. "Ah said pegabat." Li'l Mac mumbled. "The correct term is a thestral, didn't ya learn anythin' in school?" Educated Granny Smith. Gala got a spontaneous idea. "Genius!" "Wha?" The family were confused. "We'll call Flutter a thestral. It should prevent some alienation growing up. Callin' her a fruit vampire Pegasus on paper or out loud for that matter might scare someponies off." Gala explained. "Ah dunno, " Fuji frowned. "lookin' like she does now might scare ponies already off." "That's why Ah said might prevent some alienation', Darlin'." Gala, Fuji and Granny all knew this was ultimately going to happen. "Let's get back to the toy for Flutter. Do ya think you can make it?" "I could." Fuji said. "Do we have enough wool of all colors of the rainbow to knit it the size of Flutter?" Fuji asked Granny. "Look for yerself." Granny pulled a wooden crate full of yarn from a closet pushed the crate with her leg towards Fuji. "The knitting needles should be buried in there somewhere." "Thanks." Fuji looked at all the unused cyan blue. It was the dominate species of the crate, because it was usually never used. "Hm... Looks like Ah have to make its body blue. The mane, tail and wings will have to be fruit themed... I will have it done in 5-6 hours without applebuckin'." One day ago, in Manehatten... "Ah'm going home!" Said an orange filly. Author's Note I might have unintentionally lied when I said it should more cheery in the Author's Notes in the previous chapter. It should happen sometime though. Anyways, I've been laughing mad when I wasn't tired of laughing mad. And I was really tired of it. It's ridicules how many favs and likes this story has gotten. I would thank you, but that would imply I'm thankful, so... Thank you. Please enjoy the rest of the story. Note to myself: I need to differentiate Gala's and Fuji's personality more. Fuji is supposed more kind than Gala, not that Gala's not supposed to be. Fuji is also just as feminine as Gala if not a little more, but that isn't saying that much. Explaining stuff like this give me low grades, right? Applejack should return to Ponyville next chapter. Want another Flutterbat fic from me? I direct you towards this: Discord's Sweet Friend, Discord's Feral Pet This chapter has been edited by Autum Breeze Chapter 2 - Family Ruin? Chapter 2 - Family Ruin? "Three hours until we reach Ponyville." The train's newfangled experimental gadget, the intercom, yelled. It woke Applejack up. "Prepare your stuff just in case, we will notify you again." "Almost home, Ah can't wait to see Mum 'n Dad 'n Mac 'n Granny again. Hopefully these souvenirs will help them forget the heartaches Ah might've caused..." Later... "Hm... Ahead of schedule. This doll will be done in about an hour or two." Fuji said to himself as he, Granny and Li'l Mac. "I think our TV's picking up another one of them otherworldly signals again, Fuji." "No that's a music video, Granny. They're usually weird like that." Li'l Mac stated slightly bobbing his head to the music. Outside there was a screech follow by a quiet boom. "Fireworks?" Fuji questioned. "Ah'll look outside." Fuji dropped his work and got up, the rest of the family currently present went outside. They missed the fireworks, but they did see a familiar face running towards them. "Dad! Granny! Macintosh!" Applejack shouted. She rushed towards home with a burlap sack filled with stuff. "Applejack!" They nuzzled and cuddled her once in reach. "How did you get them fireworks?" Fuji asked concerned. "Ya better made sure ya memorized the proper safety preca-" "Your daughter comes home and that's first thing ya ask, Fuji?" Granny scolded. "Just being a concerned parent, Granny." "Why did ya come home, sis?" Li'l Mac asked his sister. "Just got a little homesick is all." Applejack answered. "Ya went to Manehatten within a day, ya stayed there for what must have been less then a day and immediately got back in record time. Impressive." Fuji and only Fuji chuckled. "Mom's out on the field?" "Yup. C'mon, let's go inside." "Okay, Ah have some stuff for ya'll but Ah'm gonna wait till everypony's here." Applejack shook the sack a little. "Alright sweetheart." Fuji got back to knitting, one of his favorite pass times. AJ climbed on the couch, she really wanted to lie down, the train station is almost on the other side of town, it was a loooooong walk. Meanwhile, in Applejack's room... FlutterBat noticed a great smelling scent, she desperately wanted to follow her nose. "Did ya do something interesting happening at Uncle 'n' Aunt's place, AJ?" Li'l Mac asked his sister. "Not much, Ah don't really want to talk about." Applejack turned on her side facing away, she rubbed her belly when nobody could see her do it. Perhaps because of the food, who knows? "But Ah did manage to some kinda parade in 'honour' of Prince Blackadder and his son Blueblood. Didn't get to see much since Ah was rushing towards Aunt 'n' Uncle's." "Alright..." Li'l Mac went back to whatever he was doing. Later... "What are you knitting, dad?" Applejack finally asked. "Looks likes a blue Pegasus." "It's toy for Flutter." Fuji said casually, before he knew what he said wrong, or to be more precise; how he said it. "Who-" "Fuji, I don't think we mentioned FlutterBat at all to Applejack yet." Granny said. "Heh... That's kinda dumb of us. Applejack, we have new member of the family." Fuji said. "Um... Okay. Why is he a new member?" Applejack asked. "He's a she. It's an interesting story..." Fuji needed to think how to say this to his daughter. But before he could properly explain the stair made some inconstant noises. I'm talking about hoofsteps. "Seems like Flutter's coming downstairs. Isn't she still hurting?" "She should..." Fuji got up and made sure to catch Flutter should she fall. The vampire filly hissed in pain a little with every step. Even though it wasn't really loud, Applejack covered her ears because she found it unpleasant. Flutter was finally downtairs. "Applejack. Meet FlutterBat..." Applejack was scared at the hybrid. It was the sickly pale/yellow ski, red eyes, fangs and the wing that wasn't mummified. So pretty much everything about that scared her, that was reason enough for her to hide behind the couch. "What is that monster?!" She shivered behind the couch. "An unfortunate filly, she survived something truly ridicules. She isn't a danger. Just look at those bandages, does she look like she's in any state to attack you if she was a monster?" Applejack's head slowly resurfaced to look at the eye sore. "No, more reason to do something about it. Quick, grab the gun!" She hid again. "Pretty sure she's harmless. I don't think she's destroyed anything since she's here." Li'l Mac said. "It's true. Ah know Flutter's appearance is a li'l unsettling. But she's isn't that scary. At least compa-" Fuji said. "Applejack," Li'l Mac interrupted his father as he tried to catch his sister's attention. "She's heading for yer stuff." He noticed and pointed. Applejack looked and jumped toward her bag of souvenir stuffs' defense. "Don't touch them." She said harshly blocking Flutter's path armed with the nearest lamp, she began shining it into the yellow bat's face. "Jacqueline "Applejack" Apple! Stop that." Granny shouted. Applejack cringed at the full name ultimatum, but kept on shining it in her evil new sister's eyes. "I get it, she's hypnotized ya'll. Ah hope she hasn't turned ya'll." She started to wave the lamp. "She didn't, ya raided too many of Li'l Mac's horror books." Fuji said. "Stop shining it everywhere, we're gonna need ours eyes." He didn't say it really so harsh, he hoped that would help calm his daughter down. 'Why does that lamp have to to so ridiculously sharp?' Fuji was one of the more smarter members of the Apple Family Clan (ignore the fact he's married into the family). Among those smarts were used for carpentry, Applebucking and Basic Logic. In fact he printed a PHD in basic logic just for fun. With that basic logic he really prided himself on he deducted that Applejack's bag contained fruit. "Do ya have fruit in yer bag?" Fuji asked. "...Yes?" She wanted to keep her stuff a surprise. She was trying to fight off the mutant with the lamp itself. "Drop the lamp. Take the fruit out of the bag and hold it up." He requested. Applejack did so. She pulled out tangerine, or maybe an orange, whatever, the former is more tasty. "...Alright~" Applejack was shivering in terror, at the yellow monster in front of her. Flutter was sniffing the orange edible thingy, and suddenly her giant tongue grappled the fruit to her mouth. Applejack fainted. "Applejack!" Her family shouted. A few hours later... Applejack slowly woke up. "Where... Where am Ah?" She said to herself. She noticed she's in Aunt and Uncle Orange's guest room, the room she's occupying while staying here. "Huh? What am Ah doing back here? That freak and the long trip home have been a dream?" She was half-relieved. Now she just has to go home again. "Better say good-bye to auntie 'n uncle again." Once she got up she noticed something was off, the room was slightly tilted... A normal room is not supposed to go at an angle, but it was at an angle, a dutch angle in fact. It made Applejack feel uneasy, it also made walking a little problematic. Applejack opened the door, the dinner room seemed to have relocated outside the guest room. "...The heck?..." She saw a bunch of Aunt and Uncle Orange's accomplices and along Aunt, Uncle and two recent returning visitors of Applejack's nightmares. Which was the final clue Applejack needed to figure out something was really wrong. I'm talking about the vamponygoyles known as Danté and Dennis. "Everyone! She's awake, we finally can properly hunt her." "Get her!" One of them pointed and everypony suddenly turned vampiric and lunged at her. "AAAAAAAAAH!" Applejack screamed awake, what a shocker that was. Red Gala ran towards the cry for help. She entered her bedroom where Applejack slept the night. "Applejack!" "Mama!" Applejack shouted, they hugged. "Your father, Granny and Li'l Mac told me what happened. Are ya alright?" "Ah think so..." Applejack rubbed her arm against both sides of her neck. "Please tell me that yellow thing was a dream..." "She isn't." Gala deconfirmed Applejack's hopes and dreams. "Why?" Gala explained a ton, what happened to Flutter her current sentience. "But what if she tries to bite us?" "If you listened you may have heard she's a fruit vampire." "Oh like that's any better, running an apple farm. She'll sap all the apples. We'll only give her enough everyday, besides she's only one pony and not a ton of bats." "...Why is nopony scared of her?" "Ponyville has experienced weirder things..." Gala began. "My Grand Aunt-in-law was a TimberHorswolf, The Devil made a few public appearances, just touring the country, A meteor once flattened a hill and gave an Earth Pony psychic powers, the list goes on, Equestria has the second highest oddity rating in the world. But ponies rarely get savvy enough to realize it. Heck, I wouldn't either sometimes without yer father... Now tell me why she scares you." Applejack felt a little uncomfortable, something she wanted to forget. "Two Vampiric-looking Gargoyles fell on me, they looked like older, colt versions of her." "Let me guess, they were called the Danté and Dennis?" "Yeah! How did ya know?" For the sake of humor every time the word 'Yeah' pops up imagine Enrico saying it. Cool points for you if get it. "Your uncle always strange fascination with Gargoyles. Keeping them around like they were garden gnomes. Some of them a in some unhandy locations. You'll get over it." "Ah hope so... I have something for everypony. Where's my bag?" "Ah found a bag with some things in the living room. I gave the presents to everypony." "But Mooomma~" Applejack whined. "I was supposed give it to everypony mahself..." "Ahm sorry... But everypony loved it." Dear Dairy, Date: ~__--`_~~_ I got you on my birthday a little while back. Papa said you can tell my life story. I didn't think my life was good or bad enough to write down. I came home after looking for my cutie mark in Mainhattan, and found something worse then Raryty and that Blackadder kid at aunt and uncles party. She has fangs! Obviously an evil vermin possibly bent on sucking every fruit tree in de world. I hate her. Author's Note "I think our TV's picking up another one of them otherworldly signals again, Fuji." This was supposed to be to a punchline for Space Channel 5, nobody would get it if I went Up, chu, chuchu. Right, left, down. Downdown, down. Also sorry for the delay, jaw had some kinda ignition (or so my mom calls it in dutch). And it hurt kept me up for two day with little in between. It's calmed down, in fact, by the time this up it's gone. In the mean while I might've played Persona 4 Golden and have a 2D fighting game controller to make me not have to play Skullgirls Encore on PS3 with the PS3 controller. The works fine with an XBOX 360 controller, maybe because Skullgirls is the one 2D fighter that plays better with a stick and the 360 controller has the stick and buttons at the same height. D-pad works okay... This game's gonna tough to play once it arrives on PSVita... I also have have some moving blues, and had some internet connection troubles... We moved too, we live now in my dead grandparents place, I'm sleeping in their bedroom now. If I stop updating it might have something to do with Grandma and Grampa ghost... I also bought Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, I got cravings for fighting games recently. I expected to hate it because I have trouble with Capcom fighters. But that game is great. No team yet, But Tron Bonne, Deadpool, Amaterasu, Sentinel and Frank West I use somewhat... Tangents! Now I have both here's my opinion so far: Persona 4 Golden: Awesome! Need to play it more than I do... Fightpad: Awesome but has false advertising. It doesn't work with PS3... It works with PS3 AND PC. At least for Skullgirls on PC, Lucky me. New house: Once I have space for my game consoles, I'll survive. UMvC3: I already said it was awesome. I feel like doing a one-shot and/or work on the script of a video games that may not go past the concept. You can always ask questions, but I can't give away spoileriffic answers. Chapter 3 - Plainly Not ExpectedHello there, I'm Retcon Fairy. Don't worry, Exposition Fairy sent me to tell you that we're low on effort juice. So if it seems less polished than before you may be right. But everything will be going to plan, unless Inspiration Fairy feels like improvising. ~Retroactive Continuity Faerie, Of the Killer Imagination Dept. A while later... "Ah velcome back class, take a seats. I vant to give everypony a 'eads up." Ms. Conceptie said to her students. "Everypony, we once again 'ave projects that needs co-operation. For those who forgot what that means: two of you need to work together to make a project that does something useful. To show what a force the real super power of team work really is." Ms. C looks at one of the seat with squinting eyes and a sigh. "Looks like Dumb Luck is once again sick, has broken something or sick again. So we're at an odd number. Hmmm... Say, Pinkie." She pointed at the filly. "PINKIE!!" A pink filly dropped her doodling to jump in the air, with combusting confetti out of herself. "Yes, ve know who you are at this point, please clean that up later. I can't remember if you've done such a project like this since you moved here." "Mmmm... Nope," She shook her head. "I don't think so." "Then you'll get two partners! Let's see..." Her eyes scanned the class, to find two complementary partners. So naturally she chooses "Applejack and Rarity." "WHAT!" "NAH!" "Now, now, girls. Don't worry, Pinkie vill make sure you two don't kill each other." "Grrrrrr..." They gargled as they glared at each other. Pinkie wasn't sure in who's eye she'd look for this staring context. 'Hope I can find my stressball...' The farmer filly thought. 'Let's hope I don't have to do much...' The artsy wannabe taylor looked at her hooves. 'This is gonna be the best whatever we're doing ever!' The party pre-pony went back to doodling. "It needs to be finished..." "Saved by the bell" later... "So whadya wanna do guys? Oooo, we could make a whirligig." "Why, that sounds like a great idea Pinkie. That should be over quickly." "No, it's not just any whirligig, a flying whirligig! It could take us to the sky!" "That's..." Applejack put her hoof on her chin. "Pinkie, did you do milk again?" Accused Rarity. "Don't worry, I've made at least two of those back on the farm. If I made several back at the rock farm, if I had wood I make them fly them like seven stories instead of one-half." "If ya say so... How hard is it to build?" Applejack queried. "Nope, I've made at least two of those back on the farm. And if I made several back at the rock farm out of rocks and bicycle parts, just think what we can do if we had wood! We can make them fly them like seven stories instead of one-half. I've brought the blueprints with to Ponyville, but not my toolbox..." After a few second processing all the stuff Pinkie said a filly her age probably shouldn't know. "Mom's got a lotta'f them we could those." "Great, I'll race home to find the blueprint. See ya at the Applefarm." "WAIT!" Rarity and Applejack said for different motives. But there was no Pinkie no more, only a pink puff of smoke and a pony running in the distance. "Great, why did Ms. Conceptie have to pair us up again?" Rarity yammered. "Yeah, why couldn't I work with Bright Meadows?" Applejack told her. "I would've gone with Lucky Fortune." "Or Cosmic Colour." "Or Coltrane." "Or..." Near the Sweet Apple Acres... "How 'bout Dumb Luck?" Applejack asked. "Hmmm... No, he's too Blue, he hurts my eyes." Rarity simply answered. "Hi guys!" A pink voice a few meters behind them yelled. "Hi/Hello Pinkie." The unfriendly enemies said. Rarity looked at the blue things sticking out of Pinkie's saddlebag. "Are those blueprints?" Rarity has never seen one, just letting you know. "Yup." Next to the garage door... Applejack hoof leaned against the garage door, preventing her "partner"s from entering prematurely. "Okay, listen up." She got their attention. "Don't go upstairs, it's dangerous." "Is the smell so horrid?" Rarity got a mean snark in. "Was the creature from the lagoon there? Bet you guys are still cleaning it up." Pinkie reasoned. "Um..." Applejack thought quick. "Close enough. We're um... How did mom put it?" Applejack was faking recalling what what wasn't said by scratching head. "We're repainting the first floor." She obviously lied. "For safety don't leave the garage." She finally opened the door. A feral pony with sunglasses jumped out form the other side and attacked Rarity. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! GETITOFMEGETITOFME!!!" She obviously noticed the fangs, ears, tongue and anormal wings. "No don't do that, Flutters!" Fuji went directly after the feral. "So much for keeping ya guys safe..." Applejack muttered, mainly to herself. Fuji was doing a good job keeping Flutter and Rarity apart. "Rarity, do you have fruit in your saddlebag?! "Yes I do, Mr. Apple!" "Give it to her!" Fuji demanded. Rarity threw a Kiwi over the menace. Flutter went after it and tongue grabbed it. "What is that monster!?" Fuji sighed. "An unfortunate filly. Follow me inside I'll explain. Oh, and never tell anybody about her." "Yes Mr. Fuji." Pinkie and Rarity said in unison. "Why did you have that kiwi with you, Rarity?" The former asked. "I forgot to give it to Ms. Conceptie." Was the answer. "Suck up." Were Applejack's two bits. Which got her a raspberry. The Apple family living space... "...that's how the Okay Depression got started, don't you know." "Dad, please get back on topic, I can't keep the bat in place " Applejack said in a cranky tone as she struggled to keep her housemate in the room. The Apple spamily fiving lace... "...and that's how it happened." "Aw.. Poor girl." Pinkie petted the ponybat, she didn't fear the monstrosity. Because Pinkie doesn't discriminate unless it's a foreign spiritual zebras thanks superstitious fear. But most likely won't happen. "Um... Yes...Poor girl..." Rarity less so. Fuji rose from his seat. "I'm telling you, don't tell anypony about her. Please. We still need time to figure what to do with her." He said as he walked over to to Flutter to pick her up. "Yes, Mr. Apple." The guests said. Applejack just sighed in relief. "We're gonna go back to the garage, dad. We gonna need a lotta time for this one." "Okay, girls. Have fun, just ask if you need help, and don't hurt intentionally Rarity like the last time, Applejack. That goes for you too, Rarity, all of us won't let you live it down if you two don't." "Yes, Dad/Mr. Apple." Fuji walked up the stairs, with Flutter on his back. Pinkie, standing in between the two, looked to one to the other. Once they entered the garage, Applejack gave a twist on what she said to herself for a while now. "Ah hate 'er." "I can see what you mean." Rarity agreed. Later... "Bathroom break over, what did I miss?" Pinkie asked to her partners. "We botched it." Rarity answered. "I told her that the propeller should be on top, not in front." "But you placed the wheels in the wrong triangle formation on first!" Applejack pointed at her nothing-in-common rival. "Yes, yes I did. But that just means you're just as much to blame now." Pinkie inspected the mess. A mess might be too harsh, it wasn't even close to being finished, but it was barely started too. The mistake is irreversible at this point, don't ask how it just is. "Hm... Looks like we need to improvise, something went wrong... Somepony installed the propeller vertical... Now the pedals can't reached using four hooves." To give you a better idea how it looks: The contraption's propeller pointed slightly diagonally upwards. This is because the singular wheel in the back is shorter installed than the two in front. Do you see what this thing is gonna become? And how? If you do, don't tell that jerk next to you. Yeah, you, the one I'm pointing to. "I'm stumped." Pinkie said because she didn't know. "Now whadwe gonna do?" Applejack said kinda defeated, fearing another wrath of Ms. Conceptie. It involved more homework. Suddenly, as if there was a god of random conveniences that cared for a second, a bat flew through the window. That's when these fillies clearly became the three Bat-Mares. "AAAaaah!" The fillies screamed. The bat came closer, and closer, and closer. Spiraling to the ground, the fillies went to a corner. The bat landed on the ground And transformed into take a guess... "MOM, FLUTTER TURNED INTO A BAT AND BACK!" Applejack shouted annoyed. "Stay here, it's won't hurt you, intentionally." She ran to her mom. Pinkie calmed down as she looked at the wings. "Looks neat." She got inspiration. At the same time Flutter darted for the unforeshadowed apple basket. Later... Still in the Garage, and an Explanation from Gala "She probably lost her [sun]glasses as she became a bat, and tried to hide from the sun light." Rarity reasoned. (That's my excuse.) "DONE!" Pinkie build just build the first Equestrian bi-plane. "I'm sure this will work, I'm sure it will work! We did it." Even if Pinkie did all the real work. But don't tell her, she's happily bouncing around. "Thank you, oh so much." As she shook Flutters hoof violently but lovingly. Meanwhile, in the KID, Inc. Office "Where's Spellcheck? I can't find that jerk." A panicky voice vibrated through the air. "She's either slacking off, sick, both, sic or anything in between. It's hard to tell." Said the Inspiration Fairy playing Rare Replay, those stamps are annoying on Kameo. That plucked the Writer Fairy's last straw. His head clasped against his head as he screamed. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh." That last G was guttural. "Can't we do anything right?!" His voice cracked, along with a desk when the fists collided with it. "We did plenty things right. You should know better than the rest of us. We also things we like to forget. The only reason why things have been slow because we're lazy." Writer sighed. "And grown disinterested." He followed up, he stayed down. "Not to mention unmotivated." "Yes, it's a shame, you're probably the best staff member." He complimented IF. "I also enjoy your work, WF." IF paused his game. "Really?" He sounded glad for once. "Not that you're any good mind you, this chapter especially feels weak." "Oh..." He said feeling destroyed, yet didn't really show it. Not that that matters. "You just make it an... interesting read to say the least." "Whatever..." "Don't worry buddy, just a few dozen chapters left, plus a few season 1 episodes to rewrite. And once this is done we can resume the fun stuff we've been working on." WF got an great idea. "What if we condense everything into the next chapter by pasting all the important notes?" "I'm for it. Mask it as a peek into the future chapter, the universe fast-forwarding or blame Retcon. Worst... or maybe best case scenario we put it up for adoption afterwards" "I'm on it, IF. But first to find speel Chec." As WF turned around he saw camera on a desk. "Is that thing running?" "What thing?" WF pointed at it. "Looks like it is." IF stood up and looked closer. "NO! There's a Video-to-Text converter attached!" "What?! Turnitoffturnitoff!!" Author's Note What the Fairies said. Next Chapter is the Last Chapter, and perhaps my semi-permanent leave on this site. I've lost total interest with the show. I'll still be checking up on things every now and then. The story will be up for adoption after the next chapter. I'm writing now fan fiction about the Sonic, Kirby and other games. It's something I'm less reluctant to write about. Some scrapped ideas will be transplanted. Is it sad that writing the second Fairy section was more fun than the ponies? PrologueIt was a beautiful at Sweet Apple Acres. A perfect day for the entire family to go apple bucking. Minus for two, one that doesn't bother them that much, and one that bothers them slightly. One was obviously Granny Smith, she's old. But the other one named Applejack, left for Manehatten in the care for Aunt and Uncle Orange. Something they didn't really like, but who were they to stop a filly to follow her dreams? Parents, an elder and an elder brother, that's who. They did kinda regret it. "You think li'l AJ will change her mind?" Fuji asked his wife in a tone that shows that he's concerned as he kicked a tree. Fuji has a green mane and light red coat. "Only time will tell, darlin'." The bright green mare with a orange mane sighed. She was ironically named Red Gala. "Our li'l girl..." "Ah miss her too..." Li'l Macintosh admitted shyly. He stared of in the in the clouds on his way to his next tree. Hoping he could find a could that resembled Applejack. But instead saw something yellow falling from the sky, presumably falling nearby. "Momma, Poppa! Look up!" Macintosh pointed. Gala, Fuji and Granny quickly looked up. "Oh mah stars... It's a Pegasus who has wing trouble!" Gala shouted. They a could hear the filly screaming. "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAH!!!" It sounded both young and feminine. "Ah'll catch her, Ah'll catch her!" Fuji said trying to stand exactly where the pony would land, his wife and son join in. Their backs were ready to catch her. She unfortunately fell into a tree, that caught the family off guard, the family climbed on top of each other to get the filly. Several Vampire Fruit Bats flew out. "OOOW-HOOW-HOOW-WOOOW!" The filly cried. "Vampire Fruit Bats? Ah thought they were gone." Gala said, shortly afterward the filly fell out of the tree. "OOOOW!" She cried, because she fell and because her neck landed on the fangs of a Vampire Fruit Bat. Said bat left. They all quickly observed her. She is a beautiful lanky yellow Pegasus filly with a long pink mane and tail. Cyan eyes. She didn't have a cutie mark. She looked a year or two older than Applejack. And she had scratches all over the place because of the tree, a big bruise on her side and a bat bite mark on her neck. "AAAaaaaah. Hos. Pit." Fuji hung the filly over Gala's back. "Tal. P-please. Oooooooooooow!" The filly begged. "We're already on it, sweetie." Gala rushed for the nearest hospital. "T-thank, ow, you, Ma'm." The filly fell unconscious. Later, at Ponyville's hospital... "This filly has fallen from the sky and bitten by a vampire fruit bat! She needs medical attention quick!" Fuji shouted. "What's her name?" The receptionist asked. "We don't know! Let's call her..." Gala looked at the filly's color and wings. 'Pegasus, wings, Flying and butter colored.' "Flutter for now, until we know her name. If ya can hear me, you're going to be okay..." Gala said running after the cart, along with the family. The filly opened her eyes, she got conscious for a few seconds to open her eyes and look at the family. Her eyes seemed to be more red before she closed them. The next day... Fuji visited the hospital to see how 'Flutter's' condition was. "G' day nurse." "Hello Mr. Fuji. Here for Flutter?" The friendly nurse asked. "Flutter? So assume she's..." "I assume you're either going to say that's she's and we didn't get her name, or that she hadn't woken given her name." Fuji nodded. He wanted the filly to be okay. "She's alive, but she can't talk." Fuji gasped. "That's terrible! That's obviously not it, is it? She was really damaged after all." The nurse sighed. "Follow me and brace yourself: Her wounds are tended to, but they'll still hurt. She presumably fell on her on a branch, her right wing is broken as an result." Fuji could only imagine how painful that is, seemed like a broken leg but on a limb he obviously lacks. The nurse brought him to a regular hospital room. They stood in front of curtain. "She looks like two types of undead right now, take a look and guess." The nurse said as she moved the curtain. Fuji shivered a little at what he saw. And what he saw was a sleeping filly, strapped down. Bandages are everywhere, one huge one wrapped around here waist over her right wing and under the left one. Her neck also has been wrapped. But that's the least of what caught his eyes, what caught his eyes however was the messy mane, the fangs, longer and more sensitive ears and the leathery icky wings, that's my opinion anyway. Fuji on the other hand found it kinda disturbing. She seemed to be more pale too. "She's a vampire?" Fuji asked the nurse. Just getting conformation on something he thought impossible, so basically disbelief. "Yes, but she's proven herself to be vegetarian one." The nurse quickly clarified. "You did say she was accidentally was bitten by an vampire fruit bat." "How come there aren't any real vampires then?" Fuji asked. "They're plenty normal vampire bats." "Only fruit vampire bats have this quirk, a little backwards since they only eat fruit. Real vampires are made with magic." The nurse shrugged. She and Fuji focused once again on the vampire. "Her only victims so far were Strawberries, Bananas, Pears and of course Apples. It's the reason why we're strapping her down." "Why? She seemed like a sweet filly." "That's just it. Remember when she can't speak?" Fuji nodded. "There's no sign of who she used to be. So she has either amnesia and/or instincts have taken over." "What are we going to tell her parents?" Fuji said. "Good question." The nurse replied. "If we ever find out who they are." "Wha do ya mean? Didn't ya analyse her DNA or sumthing?" "We did. We have no data on this pony, her genetics have changed just enough that we can't find out who her family is. Poor girl..." Fuji stared at her. He was thinking what to do with her. "Ah'll adopt her." He said boldly. "Wha?" The nurse reacted. "She needs somepony to take care of her. If she's really has amnesia it might come back. And who else would take her? And Ah hate to see what happens to her if no one did." "Understandable. You can take Flutter home for now. I'll manage adoption papers for you. Here, take this with you." She hooved over a small box. There was a picture of some kinda poison extractor. "If she bites you can suck the venom before it affects you." "Why? We're not fruit." "Still just in case. We're working on a vaccine, so can become immune. But for the little filly... Well it's too late for her. Be thankful she's still young. If she's treated like a filly her pony side might rise. But it's just a theory." She said as she sighed. "Alright." "One more thing. Vampires usually die once exposed to sun light. This is only based on the fact it's sunny outside and she hasn't melted in a pile of mush yet..." The nurse shoved the curtain away. "So she's safe from sunlight." A while later, Sweet Apple Acre(s)... "Ah'm home!" Fuji said. "Hello Fuji." Granny said knitting. Macintosh is at school. "Hello darlin', we've scared off the bats. We found a surprisingly easy method. How's Flutter?" Gala asked eagerly. "Well... You two look for yourself." Fuji walked from the hall into the living room, Granny already was there and Gala walked downstairs. The mares gasped in shock as Fuji put her down on the couch. The sleeping filly with tons of bandages and visually batty. "The poor, poor thing." Granny said. "Holy applesauce! Are those bat wings?" She suddenly noticed. "Eeyup..." Fuji confirmed. "Technically they are vampire wings." That took the rest by surprise. "So she did become a bat pony?" Gala asked. "No." Fuji explained the filly's situation. Regretting the fact he's gotta explain this to his son later today. "That's terrible!" Gala whisper shouted, not wanting to wake the filly. "I know. It is why I want to adopt her." Fuji said rather bluntly. Gala and Granny look at as if he wore a hat made out of pears, they switch back and forward between him and Flutter. "Well Ah don't know darlin'..." Gala hesitated. "Honey, look at her." Fuji pointed at the deep sleeper. "If we don't take her in. Nopony would..." Gala looked at Flutter sympathetically. She sighed. "...Point taken. Let's take her in." "She's not supposed to replace li'l AJ." "Ah know... Ah wasn't thinking about it." They hugged at the memory of their daughter. Granny looked at her bizarre granddaughter. She began to slow regain conscious. "She's wakin' up." "Let's hope she's manageable, darlin'." Gala said to her husband. "That sounds insulting, honey." Fuji whispered. "Sorry, Flutter. Bat. FlutterBat." She wove together. "That could work." FlutterBat woke up. She was with the people she saw first back in the hospital, this made her happy. Author's Note Deleted scene: "One more thing. Vampires usually only transform at night. But since she's so young, well it's permanent... This is only based on the fact it's sunny outside and she hasn't changed yet..." I changed it once I realized that's how werewolves work. The next chapters will be more cheery. This is for the stranger I know as "J-Rook"
Chapter 1 - Sharp LandingShe heard voices. They were waking her up. She hoped it wasn't that scary mare with the scary needle in that scary room with the delicious fruit. She felt a lot of pain all over her body. She hadn't felt this much pain since... since... She couldn't recall anything, really. Aside from the fruit hunt earlier, everything was blank. She went with what her instincts told her to do. "She's wakin' up." She heard, not that she could understand it. She was a little late to notice the smell in the room, it smelled like the apple she ate earlier. And that's not a bad thing. "Let's hope she's manageable, darlin'." She heard. "That sounds insulting, honey." "Sorry, Flutter. Bat. FlutterBat." Something about that seemed really familiar to her. "That could work." FlutterBat opened her eyes. She was with the ponies she saw first back in the hospital, this made her happy. She raised her neck and hissed in pain. "Take it easy there." FlutterBat didn't understand them but she stopped moving anyway. "If ya keep doing that you'll keep hurting yerself." The light red pony said. FlutterBat looked around. "Um... Howdy there, I'm Fuji Apple. This is mah wife Red Gala. And that’s mah mother-in-law Granny Smith. We brought you to the hospital. We're glad ya survived; it's a miracle you survived that. And we're sorry for what you've become." The young bright green mare said. "Can you really not talk or remember anything?" FlutterBat kept looking around, seemingly ignoring them. Her nose spotting a fruit basket full of apples in the back of the room next to the old green pony. She tried to reach it but it hurt her. "Ah think the youngin' wants an apple. Ah'll get it." Granny Smith reached for the apple. "Catch!" She threw to Fuji, he juggled the apple clumsily. Before he could properly catch it (how would an earth pony catch something like an apple anyway?), something else caught it. The filly's tongue was close enough the pull it towards her. She quickly pulled it towards her and sucked it's juices. The Apples looked the mush that was an apple fell to the floor. Flutter spat out the seeds. Gala and Fuji got their hooves out of the way, even if the seeds came nowhere close. "Sheeshus." Fuji said out of reflex. Gala took a look at the seeds. "Hmm... Mother? Darlin'? We might can use these seeds." "Ah remember reading somewhere that seeds eaten by them vampire fruit bats are very fertile. Ah might be misremembering." Fuji said. "This might not be all bad... Ah say this, about using this fillies misfortune for our benefit, and it sounds wrong..." "Ah don't think it can be helped, Darlin'." Gala said flatly. She looked the clock. "Mah stars, that time already? It's time to pick up Li'l Mac." "Alright honey. Where she's gonna sleep tonight, granny?" Fuji asked Mother-in-law Smith. "Applejack's room's empty." Granny said quickly, she didn't even to think about it. "AJ's room it is." Fuji clearly did. He facehooved himself. "Ah forgot she left. Well, time to bring you to a comfortable bat- Ah mean bed, Flutters. You're gonna meet your brother soon." Fuji lifted FlutterBat up and went upstairs. FlutterBat hissed at the pain. "Once we're there you won't be in a world of hurt." A little later, outside the school Big Mac attends... "Howdy Li'l Mac, how was school today?" Gala hugged her son. "'Twas a normal school day... How's Flutter?" Macintosh was curious how the filly from the clouds was doing. Gala broke the hug as she made an uneasy face. "Something wrong, momma?" "Ah'll tell ya on the way there. C'mon, let's go home." "Is she okay?" "Um... How do Ah put this, she's broken a lot of bones... But she will recover from it eventually. She'll be living with us from now on." "Why?" "The broken bones obviously, amnesia and she became a fruit vampire." Gala told her son what we already knew as blunt as possible. "A what?" Macintosh was surprised that of things happened. But it kinda makes sense, she was accidentally bitten by a bat. "A fruit vampire." Gala put some emphases on "fruit". "That's awful..." Needless to say Li'l Macintosh felt even more sorry for the filly. And little scared; living with a vampire doesn't sound too nice. "Eeyup." "What does amnesia mean?" He asked before asking how they'll handle the vampire. "Memory loss." "Poor gal. Do we have any silver bullets left?" "We're not gunna to kill her! I said earlier she'll living with us remember? And that's the weakness of horswolves." She explained calmly. Mac sometimes said he wanted to be a vampire hunter, so how he mixed up vampire and werewolf weaknesses... Oops... "But she'll eat all apples from the trees!" Li'l Macintosh got paranoid. "Like that time Granny once talked about! We'll we be-" Gala cut him off. "We'll make sure she just gets enough every day." There was a small moment of silence. "Can Ah ask ya somethin'?" "Has it to do with Flutter?" "Eeyup. Ah'm asking you to play with her. Or at least talk to her if possible. If she for whatever reason bites you we some sorta antidote. Not like she can do much to you anyway. She's hurting all over." "Ah'll try..." Macintosh's body was shaking a little. FlutterBat was lying on the bed. Fuji gave FlutterBat some toys on the ~~bat~~ bed. A toy chariot, Applejack's stress ball, a bootleg nightmare night mascot doll complete with a shoddily made zero gravity mane and tail, an apple person/pony made out of yarn and a rubik's cube. The door was closed but not locked. The sun shined through the window, FlutterBat slowly, and so painlessly as possible, backed off from the ray of sun light. The sunlight didn't hurt her, it was just really sharp on the eyes. Flutter poked the doll. The mane and tail were alluring, so naturally it caught Flutter's attention. She picked it up and started to played with its hair. She heard the door opening and some mumbling downstairs thanks due to her enhanced ears. "We're home. C'mon Li'l Mac, let's introduc..." FlutterBat stopped payed attention. She was too engrossed in the story she didn't know she was making. How the evil party cube kidnapped the kind and generous twilight bringer, the brave apple and his loyal suck-up stress ball try to safe her. Her accidental story was interrupted by a slightly creaking door. It revealed Red Gala and a red colt that she first saw when she woke up. It was quiet; FlutterBat stared at the two. Li'l Macintosh tried to avoid eye contact. Or regular contact even. Not out of maliciousness or any other mean spirited in anyway. He didn't want to think about the pain she is in. He failed, it didn't hurt that much. "Hey Flutter, this is Big Macintosh. We usually call him Li'l Mac." Gala patted her son's back. "Can Ah play with you?" Li'l Mac asked a little shakily. FlutterBat tilted her head. Li'l Mac edged closer. To his surprise, FlutterBat didn't intimidate him or directly or indirectly hurt him. She just stared at him really. Li'l Mac climbed on the bed. "What'ya playing?" Li'l Mac said looking at toys in front of Flutter. She didn't reply; she just kept staring. This was both awkward for Li'l Mac and Gala. "So... Ya like fruit?" Li'l Mac picked up the yarn apple as he asked her, he squished the apple. FlutterBat looked at the apple repeatedly getting squished. She reached her arm that hurt the least out for the apple, Li'l Mac let her have it. Flutter started squishing it too, she started experimenting with it. Squishing it against her belly, the tip of her nose, her ear, her leg and finally her cheek. Its softness felt really nice, besides the fruit she ate and this comfortable bed, this was the best thing she experienced. She smiled. "Hm... Ah hope still means she likes stuffed animals." "She can't have any of mah collection!" Li'l Mac was quick to say. "Her fangs might damage ‘em." Gala chuckled. "We'll ask for new one. What would she like?" Li'l Mac got an idea. "How about a-" "-a bat pony made out of fruit?" Fuji asked. "Ah said pegabat." Li'l Mac mumbled. "The correct term is a thestral, didn't ya learn anythin' in school?" Educated Granny Smith. Gala got a spontaneous idea. "Genius!" "Wha?" The family were confused. "We'll call Flutter a thestral. It should prevent some alienation growing up. Callin' her a fruit vampire Pegasus on paper or out loud for that matter might scare someponies off." Gala explained. "Ah dunno, " Fuji frowned. "lookin' like she does now might scare ponies already off." "That's why Ah said might prevent some alienation', Darlin'." Gala, Fuji and Granny all knew this was ultimately going to happen. "Let's get back to the toy for Flutter. Do ya think you can make it?" "I could." Fuji said. "Do we have enough wool of all colors of the rainbow to knit it the size of Flutter?" Fuji asked Granny. "Look for yerself." Granny pulled a wooden crate full of yarn from a closet pushed the crate with her leg towards Fuji. "The knitting needles should be buried in there somewhere." "Thanks." Fuji looked at all the unused cyan blue. It was the dominate species of the crate, because it was usually never used. "Hm... Looks like Ah have to make its body blue. The mane, tail and wings will have to be fruit themed... I will have it done in 5-6 hours without applebuckin'." One day ago, in Manehatten... "Ah'm going home!" Said an orange filly. Author's Note I might have unintentionally lied when I said it should more cheery in the Author's Notes in the previous chapter. It should happen sometime though. Anyways, I've been laughing mad when I wasn't tired of laughing mad. And I was really tired of it. It's ridicules how many favs and likes this story has gotten. I would thank you, but that would imply I'm thankful, so... Thank you. Please enjoy the rest of the story. Note to myself: I need to differentiate Gala's and Fuji's personality more. Fuji is supposed more kind than Gala, not that Gala's not supposed to be. Fuji is also just as feminine as Gala if not a little more, but that isn't saying that much. Explaining stuff like this give me low grades, right? Applejack should return to Ponyville next chapter. Want another Flutterbat fic from me?

Chapter 2 - Family Ruin? Chapter 2 - Family Ruin? "Three hours until we reach Ponyville." The train's newfangled experimental gadget, the intercom, yelled. It woke Applejack up. "Prepare your stuff just in case, we will notify you again." "Almost home, Ah can't wait to see Mum 'n Dad 'n Mac 'n Granny again. Hopefully these souvenirs will help them forget the heartaches Ah might've caused..." Later... "Hm... Ahead of schedule. This doll will be done in about an hour or two." Fuji said to himself as he, Granny and Li'l Mac. "I think our TV's picking up another one of them otherworldly signals again, Fuji." "No that's a music video, Granny. They're usually weird like that." Li'l Mac stated slightly bobbing his head to the music. Outside there was a screech follow by a quiet boom. "Fireworks?" Fuji questioned. "Ah'll look outside." Fuji dropped his work and got up, the rest of the family currently present went outside. They missed the fireworks, but they did see a familiar face running towards them. "Dad! Granny! Macintosh!" Applejack shouted. She rushed towards home with a burlap sack filled with stuff. "Applejack!" They nuzzled and cuddled her once in reach. "How did you get them fireworks?" Fuji asked concerned. "Ya better made sure ya memorized the proper safety preca-" "Your daughter comes home and that's first thing ya ask, Fuji?" Granny scolded. "Just being a concerned parent, Granny." "Why did ya come home, sis?" Li'l Mac asked his sister. "Just got a little homesick is all." Applejack answered. "Ya went to Manehatten within a day, ya stayed there for what must have been less then a day and immediately got back in record time. Impressive." Fuji and only Fuji chuckled. "Mom's out on the field?" "Yup. C'mon, let's go inside." "Okay, Ah have some stuff for ya'll but Ah'm gonna wait till everypony's here." Applejack shook the sack a little. "Alright sweetheart." Fuji got back to knitting, one of his favorite pass times. AJ climbed on the couch, she really wanted to lie down, the train station is almost on the other side of town, it was a loooooong walk. Meanwhile, in Applejack's room... FlutterBat noticed a great smelling scent, she desperately wanted to follow her nose. "Did ya do something interesting happening at Uncle 'n' Aunt's place, AJ?" Li'l Mac asked his sister. "Not much, Ah don't really want to talk about." Applejack turned on her side facing away, she rubbed her belly when nobody could see her do it. Perhaps because of the food, who knows? "But Ah did manage to some kinda parade in 'honour' of Prince Blackadder and his son Blueblood. Didn't get to see much since Ah was rushing towards Aunt 'n' Uncle's." "Alright..." Li'l Mac went back to whatever he was doing. Later... "What are you knitting, dad?" Applejack finally asked. "Looks likes a blue Pegasus." "It's toy for Flutter." Fuji said casually, before he knew what he said wrong, or to be more precise; how he said it. "Who-" "Fuji, I don't think we mentioned FlutterBat at all to Applejack yet." Granny said. "Heh... That's kinda dumb of us. Applejack, we have new member of the family." Fuji said. "Um... Okay. Why is he a new member?" Applejack asked. "He's a she. It's an interesting story..." Fuji needed to think how to say this to his daughter. But before he could properly explain the stair made some inconstant noises. I'm talking about hoofsteps. "Seems like Flutter's coming downstairs. Isn't she still hurting?" "She should..." Fuji got up and made sure to catch Flutter should she fall. The vampire filly hissed in pain a little with every step. Even though it wasn't really loud, Applejack covered her ears because she found it unpleasant. Flutter was finally downtairs. "Applejack. Meet FlutterBat..." Applejack was scared at the hybrid. It was the sickly pale/yellow ski, red eyes, fangs and the wing that wasn't mummified. So pretty much everything about that scared her, that was reason enough for her to hide behind the couch. "What is that monster?!" She shivered behind the couch. "An unfortunate filly, she survived something truly ridicules. She isn't a danger. Just look at those bandages, does she look like she's in any state to attack you if she was a monster?" Applejack's head slowly resurfaced to look at the eye sore. "No, more reason to do something about it. Quick, grab the gun!" She hid again. "Pretty sure she's harmless. I don't think she's destroyed anything since she's here." Li'l Mac said. "It's true. Ah know Flutter's appearance is a li'l unsettling. But she's isn't that scary. At least compa-" Fuji said. "Applejack," Li'l Mac interrupted his father as he tried to catch his sister's attention. "She's heading for yer stuff." He noticed and pointed. Applejack looked and jumped toward her bag of souvenir stuffs' defense. "Don't touch them." She said harshly blocking Flutter's path armed with the nearest lamp, she began shining it into the yellow bat's face. "Jacqueline "Applejack" Apple! Stop that." Granny shouted. Applejack cringed at the full name ultimatum, but kept on shining it in her evil new sister's eyes. "I get it, she's hypnotized ya'll. Ah hope she hasn't turned ya'll." She started to wave the lamp. "She didn't, ya raided too many of Li'l Mac's horror books." Fuji said. "Stop shining it everywhere, we're gonna need ours eyes." He didn't say it really so harsh, he hoped that would help calm his daughter down. 'Why does that lamp have to to so ridiculously sharp?' Fuji was one of the more smarter members of the Apple Family Clan (ignore the fact he's married into the family). Among those smarts were used for carpentry, Applebucking and Basic Logic. In fact he printed a PHD in basic logic just for fun. With that basic logic he really prided himself on he deducted that Applejack's bag contained fruit. "Do ya have fruit in yer bag?" Fuji asked. "...Yes?" She wanted to keep her stuff a surprise. She was trying to fight off the mutant with the lamp itself. "Drop the lamp. Take the fruit out of the bag and hold it up." He requested. Applejack did so. She pulled out tangerine, or maybe an orange, whatever, the former is more tasty. "...Alright~" Applejack was shivering in terror, at the yellow monster in front of her. Flutter was sniffing the orange edible thingy, and suddenly her giant tongue grappled the fruit to her mouth. Applejack fainted. "Applejack!" Her family shouted. A few hours later... Applejack slowly woke up. "Where... Where am Ah?" She said to herself. She noticed she's in Aunt and Uncle Orange's guest room, the room she's occupying while staying here. "Huh? What am Ah doing back here? That freak and the long trip home have been a dream?" She was half-relieved. Now she just has to go home again. "Better say good-bye to auntie 'n uncle again." Once she got up she noticed something was off, the room was slightly tilted... A normal room is not supposed to go at an angle, but it was at an angle, a dutch angle in fact. It made Applejack feel uneasy, it also made walking a little problematic. Applejack opened the door, the dinner room seemed to have relocated outside the guest room. "...The heck?..." She saw a bunch of Aunt and Uncle Orange's accomplices and along Aunt, Uncle and two recent returning visitors of Applejack's nightmares. Which was the final clue Applejack needed to figure out something was really wrong. I'm talking about the vamponygoyles known as Danté and Dennis. "Everyone! She's awake, we finally can properly hunt her." "Get her!" One of them pointed and everypony suddenly turned vampiric and lunged at her. "AAAAAAAAAH!" Applejack screamed awake, what a shocker that was. Red Gala ran towards the cry for help. She entered her bedroom where Applejack slept the night. "Applejack!" "Mama!" Applejack shouted, they hugged. "Your father, Granny and Li'l Mac told me what happened. Are ya alright?" "Ah think so..." Applejack rubbed her arm against both sides of her neck. "Please tell me that yellow thing was a dream..." "She isn't." Gala deconfirmed Applejack's hopes and dreams. "Why?" Gala explained a ton, what happened to Flutter her current sentience. "But what if she tries to bite us?" "If you listened you may have heard she's a fruit vampire." "Oh like that's any better, running an apple farm. She'll sap all the apples. We'll only give her enough everyday, besides she's only one pony and not a ton of bats." "...Why is nopony scared of her?" "Ponyville has experienced weirder things..." Gala began. "My Grand Aunt-in-law was a TimberHorswolf, The Devil made a few public appearances, just touring the country, A meteor once flattened a hill and gave an Earth Pony psychic powers, the list goes on, Equestria has the second highest oddity rating in the world. But ponies rarely get savvy enough to realize it. Heck, I wouldn't either sometimes without yer father... Now tell me why she scares you." Applejack felt a little uncomfortable, something she wanted to forget. "Two Vampiric-looking Gargoyles fell on me, they looked like older, colt versions of her." "Let me guess, they were called the Danté and Dennis?" "Yeah! How did ya know?" For the sake of humor every time the word 'Yeah' pops up imagine Enrico saying it. Cool points for you if get it. "Your uncle always strange fascination with Gargoyles. Keeping them around like they were garden gnomes. Some of them a in some unhandy locations. You'll get over it." "Ah hope so... I have something for everypony. Where's my bag?" "Ah found a bag with some things in the living room. I gave the presents to everypony." "But Mooomma~" Applejack whined. "I was supposed give it to everypony mahself..." "Ahm sorry... But everypony loved it." Dear Dairy, Date: ~__--`_~~_ I got you on my birthday a little while back. Papa said you can tell my life story. I didn't think my life was good or bad enough to write down. I came home after looking for my cutie mark in Mainhattan, and found something worse then Raryty and that Blackadder kid at aunt and uncles party. She has fangs! Obviously an evil vermin possibly bent on sucking every fruit tree in de world. I hate her. Author's Note "I think our TV's picking up another one of them otherworldly signals again, Fuji." This was supposed to be to a punchline for Space Channel 5, nobody would get it if I went Up, chu, chuchu. Right, left, down. Downdown, down. Also sorry for the delay, jaw had some kinda ignition (or so my mom calls it in dutch). And it hurt kept me up for two day with little in between. It's calmed down, in fact, by the time this up it's gone. In the mean while I might've played Persona 4 Golden and have a 2D fighting game controller to make me not have to play Skullgirls Encore on PS3 with the PS3 controller. The works fine with an XBOX 360 controller, maybe because Skullgirls is the one 2D fighter that plays better with a stick and the 360 controller has the stick and buttons at the same height. D-pad works okay... This game's gonna tough to play once it arrives on PSVita... I also have have some moving blues, and had some internet connection troubles... We moved too, we live now in my dead grandparents place, I'm sleeping in their bedroom now. If I stop updating it might have something to do with Grandma and Grampa ghost... I also bought Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, I got cravings for fighting games recently. I expected to hate it because I have trouble with Capcom fighters. But that game is great. No team yet, But Tron Bonne, Deadpool, Amaterasu, Sentinel and Frank West I use somewhat... Tangents! Now I have both here's my opinion so far: Persona 4 Golden: Awesome! Need to play it more than I do... Fightpad: Awesome but has false advertising. It doesn't work with PS3... It works with PS3 AND PC. At least for Skullgirls on PC, Lucky me. New house: Once I have space for my game consoles, I'll survive. UMvC3: I already said it was awesome. I feel like doing a one-shot and/or work on the script of a video games that may not go past the concept. You can always ask questions, but I can't give away spoileriffic answers.
Chapter 3 - Plainly Not ExpectedHello there, I'm Retcon Fairy. Don't worry, Exposition Fairy sent me to tell you that we're low on effort juice. So if it seems less polished than before you may be right. But everything will be going to plan, unless Inspiration Fairy feels like improvising. ~Retroactive Continuity Faerie, Of the Killer Imagination Dept. A while later... "Ah velcome back class, take a seats. I vant to give everypony a 'eads up." Ms. Conceptie said to her students. "Everypony, we once again 'ave projects that needs co-operation. For those who forgot what that means: two of you need to work together to make a project that does something useful. To show what a force the real super power of team work really is." Ms. C looks at one of the seat with squinting eyes and a sigh. "Looks like Dumb Luck is once again sick, has broken something or sick again. So we're at an odd number. Hmmm... Say, Pinkie." She pointed at the filly. "PINKIE!!" A pink filly dropped her doodling to jump in the air, with combusting confetti out of herself. "Yes, ve know who you are at this point, please clean that up later. I can't remember if you've done such a project like this since you moved here." "Mmmm... Nope," She shook her head. "I don't think so." "Then you'll get two partners! Let's see..." Her eyes scanned the class, to find two complementary partners. So naturally she chooses "Applejack and Rarity." "WHAT!" "NAH!" "Now, now, girls. Don't worry, Pinkie vill make sure you two don't kill each other." "Grrrrrr..." They gargled as they glared at each other. Pinkie wasn't sure in who's eye she'd look for this staring context. 'Hope I can find my stressball...' The farmer filly thought. 'Let's hope I don't have to do much...' The artsy wannabe taylor looked at her hooves. 'This is gonna be the best whatever we're doing ever!' The party pre-pony went back to doodling. "It needs to be finished..." "Saved by the bell" later... "So whadya wanna do guys? Oooo, we could make a whirligig." "Why, that sounds like a great idea Pinkie. That should be over quickly." "No, it's not just any whirligig, a flying whirligig! It could take us to the sky!" "That's..." Applejack put her hoof on her chin. "Pinkie, did you do milk again?" Accused Rarity. "Don't worry, I've made at least two of those back on the farm. If I made several back at the rock farm, if I had wood I make them fly them like seven stories instead of one-half." "If ya say so... How hard is it to build?" Applejack queried. "Nope, I've made at least two of those back on the farm. And if I made several back at the rock farm out of rocks and bicycle parts, just think what we can do if we had wood! We can make them fly them like seven stories instead of one-half. I've brought the blueprints with to Ponyville, but not my toolbox..." After a few second processing all the stuff Pinkie said a filly her age probably shouldn't know. "Mom's got a lotta'f them we could those." "Great, I'll race home to find the blueprint. See ya at the Applefarm." "WAIT!" Rarity and Applejack said for different motives. But there was no Pinkie no more, only a pink puff of smoke and a pony running in the distance. "Great, why did Ms. Conceptie have to pair us up again?" Rarity yammered. "Yeah, why couldn't I work with Bright Meadows?" Applejack told her. "I would've gone with Lucky Fortune." "Or Cosmic Colour." "Or Coltrane." "Or..." Near the Sweet Apple Acres... "How 'bout Dumb Luck?" Applejack asked. "Hmmm... No, he's too Blue, he hurts my eyes." Rarity simply answered. "Hi guys!" A pink voice a few meters behind them yelled. "Hi/Hello Pinkie." The unfriendly enemies said. Rarity looked at the blue things sticking out of Pinkie's saddlebag. "Are those blueprints?" Rarity has never seen one, just letting you know. "Yup." Next to the garage door... Applejack hoof leaned against the garage door, preventing her "partner"s from entering prematurely. "Okay, listen up." She got their attention. "Don't go upstairs, it's dangerous." "Is the smell so horrid?" Rarity got a mean snark in. "Was the creature from the lagoon there? Bet you guys are still cleaning it up." Pinkie reasoned. "Um..." Applejack thought quick. "Close enough. We're um... How did mom put it?" Applejack was faking recalling what what wasn't said by scratching head. "We're repainting the first floor." She obviously lied. "For safety don't leave the garage." She finally opened the door. A feral pony with sunglasses jumped out form the other side and attacked Rarity. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! GETITOFMEGETITOFME!!!" She obviously noticed the fangs, ears, tongue and anormal wings. "No don't do that, Flutters!" Fuji went directly after the feral. "So much for keeping ya guys safe..." Applejack muttered, mainly to herself. Fuji was doing a good job keeping Flutter and Rarity apart. "Rarity, do you have fruit in your saddlebag?! "Yes I do, Mr. Apple!" "Give it to her!" Fuji demanded. Rarity threw a Kiwi over the menace. Flutter went after it and tongue grabbed it. "What is that monster!?" Fuji sighed. "An unfortunate filly. Follow me inside I'll explain. Oh, and never tell anybody about her." "Yes Mr. Fuji." Pinkie and Rarity said in unison. "Why did you have that kiwi with you, Rarity?" The former asked. "I forgot to give it to Ms. Conceptie." Was the answer. "Suck up." Were Applejack's two bits. Which got her a raspberry. The Apple family living space... "...that's how the Okay Depression got started, don't you know." "Dad, please get back on topic, I can't keep the bat in place " Applejack said in a cranky tone as she struggled to keep her housemate in the room. The Apple spamily fiving lace... "...and that's how it happened." "Aw.. Poor girl." Pinkie petted the ponybat, she didn't fear the monstrosity. Because Pinkie doesn't discriminate unless it's a foreign spiritual zebras thanks superstitious fear. But most likely won't happen. "Um... Yes...Poor girl..." Rarity less so. Fuji rose from his seat. "I'm telling you, don't tell anypony about her. Please. We still need time to figure what to do with her." He said as he walked over to to Flutter to pick her up. "Yes, Mr. Apple." The guests said. Applejack just sighed in relief. "We're gonna go back to the garage, dad. We gonna need a lotta time for this one." "Okay, girls. Have fun, just ask if you need help, and don't hurt intentionally Rarity like the last time, Applejack. That goes for you too, Rarity, all of us won't let you live it down if you two don't." "Yes, Dad/Mr. Apple." Fuji walked up the stairs, with Flutter on his back. Pinkie, standing in between the two, looked to one to the other. Once they entered the garage, Applejack gave a twist on what she said to herself for a while now. "Ah hate 'er." "I can see what you mean." Rarity agreed. Later... "Bathroom break over, what did I miss?" Pinkie asked to her partners. "We botched it." Rarity answered. "I told her that the propeller should be on top, not in front." "But you placed the wheels in the wrong triangle formation on first!" Applejack pointed at her nothing-in-common rival. "Yes, yes I did. But that just means you're just as much to blame now." Pinkie inspected the mess. A mess might be too harsh, it wasn't even close to being finished, but it was barely started too. The mistake is irreversible at this point, don't ask how it just is. "Hm... Looks like we need to improvise, something went wrong... Somepony installed the propeller vertical... Now the pedals can't reached using four hooves." To give you a better idea how it looks: The contraption's propeller pointed slightly diagonally upwards. This is because the singular wheel in the back is shorter installed than the two in front. Do you see what this thing is gonna become? And how? If you do, don't tell that jerk next to you. Yeah, you, the one I'm pointing to. "I'm stumped." Pinkie said because she didn't know. "Now whadwe gonna do?" Applejack said kinda defeated, fearing another wrath of Ms. Conceptie. It involved more homework. Suddenly, as if there was a god of random conveniences that cared for a second, a bat flew through the window. That's when these fillies clearly became the three Bat-Mares. "AAAaaah!" The fillies screamed. The bat came closer, and closer, and closer. Spiraling to the ground, the fillies went to a corner. The bat landed on the ground And transformed into take a guess... "MOM, FLUTTER TURNED INTO A BAT AND BACK!" Applejack shouted annoyed. "Stay here, it's won't hurt you, intentionally." She ran to her mom. Pinkie calmed down as she looked at the wings. "Looks neat." She got inspiration. At the same time Flutter darted for the unforeshadowed apple basket. Later... Still in the Garage, and an Explanation from Gala "She probably lost her [sun]glasses as she became a bat, and tried to hide from the sun light." Rarity reasoned. (That's my excuse.) "DONE!" Pinkie build just build the first Equestrian bi-plane. "I'm sure this will work, I'm sure it will work! We did it." Even if Pinkie did all the real work. But don't tell her, she's happily bouncing around. "Thank you, oh so much." As she shook Flutters hoof violently but lovingly. Meanwhile, in the KID, Inc. Office "Where's Spellcheck? I can't find that jerk." A panicky voice vibrated through the air. "She's either slacking off, sick, both, sic or anything in between. It's hard to tell." Said the Inspiration Fairy playing Rare Replay, those stamps are annoying on Kameo. That plucked the Writer Fairy's last straw. His head clasped against his head as he screamed. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgh." That last G was guttural. "Can't we do anything right?!" His voice cracked, along with a desk when the fists collided with it. "We did plenty things right. You should know better than the rest of us. We also things we like to forget. The only reason why things have been slow because we're lazy." Writer sighed. "And grown disinterested." He followed up, he stayed down. "Not to mention unmotivated." "Yes, it's a shame, you're probably the best staff member." He complimented IF. "I also enjoy your work, WF." IF paused his game. "Really?" He sounded glad for once. "Not that you're any good mind you, this chapter especially feels weak." "Oh..." He said feeling destroyed, yet didn't really show it. Not that that matters. "You just make it an... interesting read to say the least." "Whatever..." "Don't worry buddy, just a few dozen chapters left, plus a few season 1 episodes to rewrite. And once this is done we can resume the fun stuff we've been working on." WF got an great idea. "What if we condense everything into the next chapter by pasting all the important notes?" "I'm for it. Mask it as a peek into the future chapter, the universe fast-forwarding or blame Retcon. Worst... or maybe best case scenario we put it up for adoption afterwards" "I'm on it, IF. But first to find speel Chec." As WF turned around he saw camera on a desk. "Is that thing running?" "What thing?" WF pointed at it. "Looks like it is." IF stood up and looked closer. "NO! There's a Video-to-Text converter attached!" "What?! Turnitoffturnitoff!!" Author's Note What the Fairies said. Next Chapter is the Last Chapter, and perhaps my semi-permanent leave on this site. I've lost total interest with the show. I'll still be checking up on things every now and then. The story will be up for adoption after the next chapter. I'm writing now fan fiction about the Sonic, Kirby and other games. It's something I'm less reluctant to write about. Some scrapped ideas will be transplanted. Is it sad that writing the second Fairy section was more fun than the ponies?
PrologueIt was a beautiful at Sweet Apple Acres. A perfect day for the entire family to go apple bucking. Minus for two, one that doesn't bother them that much, and one that bothers them slightly. One was obviously Granny Smith, she's old. But the other one named Applejack, left for Manehatten in the care for Aunt and Uncle Orange. Something they didn't really like, but who were they to stop a filly to follow her dreams? Parents, an elder and an elder brother, that's who. They did kinda regret it. "You think li'l AJ will change her mind?" Fuji asked his wife in a tone that shows that he's concerned as he kicked a tree. Fuji has a green mane and light red coat. "Only time will tell, darlin'." The bright green mare with a orange mane sighed. She was ironically named Red Gala. "Our li'l girl..." "Ah miss her too..." Li'l Macintosh admitted shyly. He stared of in the in the clouds on his way to his next tree. Hoping he could find a could that resembled Applejack. But instead saw something yellow falling from the sky, presumably falling nearby. "Momma, Poppa! Look up!" Macintosh pointed. Gala, Fuji and Granny quickly looked up. "Oh mah stars... It's a Pegasus who has wing trouble!" Gala shouted. They a could hear the filly screaming. "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAH!!!" It sounded both young and feminine. "Ah'll catch her, Ah'll catch her!" Fuji said trying to stand exactly where the pony would land, his wife and son join in. Their backs were ready to catch her. She unfortunately fell into a tree, that caught the family off guard, the family climbed on top of each other to get the filly. Several Vampire Fruit Bats flew out. "OOOW-HOOW-HOOW-WOOOW!" The filly cried. "Vampire Fruit Bats? Ah thought they were gone." Gala said, shortly afterward the filly fell out of the tree. "OOOOW!" She cried, because she fell and because her neck landed on the fangs of a Vampire Fruit Bat. Said bat left. They all quickly observed her. She is a beautiful lanky yellow Pegasus filly with a long pink mane and tail. Cyan eyes. She didn't have a cutie mark. She looked a year or two older than Applejack. And she had scratches all over the place because of the tree, a big bruise on her side and a bat bite mark on her neck. "AAAaaaaah. Hos. Pit." Fuji hung the filly over Gala's back. "Tal. P-please. Oooooooooooow!" The filly begged. "We're already on it, sweetie." Gala rushed for the nearest hospital. "T-thank, ow, you, Ma'm." The filly fell unconscious. Later, at Ponyville's hospital... "This filly has fallen from the sky and bitten by a vampire fruit bat! She needs medical attention quick!" Fuji shouted. "What's her name?" The receptionist asked. "We don't know! Let's call her..." Gala looked at the filly's color and wings. 'Pegasus, wings, Flying and butter colored.' "Flutter for now, until we know her name. If ya can hear me, you're going to be okay..." Gala said running after the cart, along with the family. The filly opened her eyes, she got conscious for a few seconds to open her eyes and look at the family. Her eyes seemed to be more red before she closed them. The next day... Fuji visited the hospital to see how 'Flutter's' condition was. "G' day nurse." "Hello Mr. Fuji. Here for Flutter?" The friendly nurse asked. "Flutter? So assume she's..." "I assume you're either going to say that's she's and we didn't get her name, or that she hadn't woken given her name." Fuji nodded. He wanted the filly to be okay. "She's alive, but she can't talk." Fuji gasped. "That's terrible! That's obviously not it, is it? She was really damaged after all." The nurse sighed. "Follow me and brace yourself: Her wounds are tended to, but they'll still hurt. She presumably fell on her on a branch, her right wing is broken as an result." Fuji could only imagine how painful that is, seemed like a broken leg but on a limb he obviously lacks. The nurse brought him to a regular hospital room. They stood in front of curtain. "She looks like two types of undead right now, take a look and guess." The nurse said as she moved the curtain. Fuji shivered a little at what he saw. And what he saw was a sleeping filly, strapped down. Bandages are everywhere, one huge one wrapped around here waist over her right wing and under the left one. Her neck also has been wrapped. But that's the least of what caught his eyes, what caught his eyes however was the messy mane, the fangs, longer and more sensitive ears and the leathery icky wings, that's my opinion anyway. Fuji on the other hand found it kinda disturbing. She seemed to be more pale too. "She's a vampire?" Fuji asked the nurse. Just getting conformation on something he thought impossible, so basically disbelief. "Yes, but she's proven herself to be vegetarian one." The nurse quickly clarified. "You did say she was accidentally was bitten by an vampire fruit bat." "How come there aren't any real vampires then?" Fuji asked. "They're plenty normal vampire bats." "Only fruit vampire bats have this quirk, a little backwards since they only eat fruit. Real vampires are made with magic." The nurse shrugged. She and Fuji focused once again on the vampire. "Her only victims so far were Strawberries, Bananas, Pears and of course Apples. It's the reason why we're strapping her down." "Why? She seemed like a sweet filly." "That's just it. Remember when she can't speak?" Fuji nodded. "There's no sign of who she used to be. So she has either amnesia and/or instincts have taken over." "What are we going to tell her parents?" Fuji said. "Good question." The nurse replied. "If we ever find out who they are." "Wha do ya mean? Didn't ya analyse her DNA or sumthing?" "We did. We have no data on this pony, her genetics have changed just enough that we can't find out who her family is. Poor girl..." Fuji stared at her. He was thinking what to do with her. "Ah'll adopt her." He said boldly. "Wha?" The nurse reacted. "She needs somepony to take care of her. If she's really has amnesia it might come back. And who else would take her? And Ah hate to see what happens to her if no one did." "Understandable. You can take Flutter home for now. I'll manage adoption papers for you. Here, take this with you." She hooved over a small box. There was a picture of some kinda poison extractor. "If she bites you can suck the venom before it affects you." "Why? We're not fruit." "Still just in case. We're working on a vaccine, so can become immune. But for the little filly... Well it's too late for her. Be thankful she's still young. If she's treated like a filly her pony side might rise. But it's just a theory." She said as she sighed. "Alright." "One more thing. Vampires usually die once exposed to sun light. This is only based on the fact it's sunny outside and she hasn't melted in a pile of mush yet..." The nurse shoved the curtain away. "So she's safe from sunlight." A while later, Sweet Apple Acre(s)... "Ah'm home!" Fuji said. "Hello Fuji." Granny said knitting. Macintosh is at school. "Hello darlin', we've scared off the bats. We found a surprisingly easy method. How's Flutter?" Gala asked eagerly. "Well... You two look for yourself." Fuji walked from the hall into the living room, Granny already was there and Gala walked downstairs. The mares gasped in shock as Fuji put her down on the couch. The sleeping filly with tons of bandages and visually batty. "The poor, poor thing." Granny said. "Holy applesauce! Are those bat wings?" She suddenly noticed. "Eeyup..." Fuji confirmed. "Technically they are vampire wings." That took the rest by surprise. "So she did become a bat pony?" Gala asked. "No." Fuji explained the filly's situation. Regretting the fact he's gotta explain this to his son later today. "That's terrible!" Gala whisper shouted, not wanting to wake the filly. "I know. It is why I want to adopt her." Fuji said rather bluntly. Gala and Granny look at as if he wore a hat made out of pears, they switch back and forward between him and Flutter. "Well Ah don't know darlin'..." Gala hesitated. "Honey, look at her." Fuji pointed at the deep sleeper. "If we don't take her in. Nopony would..." Gala looked at Flutter sympathetically. She sighed. "...Point taken. Let's take her in." "She's not supposed to replace li'l AJ." "Ah know... Ah wasn't thinking about it." They hugged at the memory of their daughter. Granny looked at her bizarre granddaughter. She began to slow regain conscious. "She's wakin' up." "Let's hope she's manageable, darlin'." Gala said to her husband. "That sounds insulting, honey." Fuji whispered. "Sorry, Flutter. Bat. FlutterBat." She wove together. "That could work." FlutterBat woke up. She was with the people she saw first back in the hospital, this made her happy. Author's Note Deleted scene: "One more thing. Vampires usually only transform at night. But since she's so young, well it's permanent... This is only based on the fact it's sunny outside and she hasn't changed yet..." I changed it once I realized that's how werewolves work. The next chapters will be more cheery. This is for the stranger I know as "J-Rook"
