Let's Be Bat Ponies

Angel Star's POV

Huh, I pictured this day to be more of me relaxing today, not me and Margaret trying to hide from a bunch of angry towns ponies. Gosh darn it Margaret! Why did you have to think up of such a stupid idea? Huh? Oh right, your still here. Look if you wanna know what happened here, I'm gonna have to start from the beginning. So you better sit back and relax, because this might take a while.

It started off like any other day. It was early morning, and Margaret was still in bed while I was reading one of my spell books downstairs on the couch. Yeah, Margaret's not much of a morning pony. Anyway, while I was looking through my book, I noticed this one spell in there that I couldn't stop reading about. It was a spell to turn normal ponies into bat ponies. "Ooh! This looks really interesting." I said.

The spell wasn't even hard to do, in fact it was very simple looking. I was thinking of trying it out until I read one passage from the book that caught my eye. "Be careful, this spell may only last for a day, but other ponies might think your an actual bat pony and might want to hurt you. You have been warned." I read.
Now I didn't want to try it. As much as I would love to be a bat pony for a day, I didn't want an angry mob coming for me just because I looked threatening. I was about to put the book away, when I saw Margaret heading downstairs. Wait, I thought Margaret doesn't get up at this time. What gives?

"Morning Margaret. What brings you down here so early?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I decided to change my sleep schedule, so last night I slept at around the same time you did." She explained.

"Why?" I asked.

"Just in case if I want to do my pranks early in the morning." She said with a smile.

"Well, alright then." I was about to put the book I was reading away, when Margaret decided to ask me something.

"What book is that?" She asked.

"Oh it's just one of my spell books that I was reading from." I answered.

"Ooh! Can I see?" She said excitedly.

I couldn't risk her finding the bat pony spell, mostly because of the havoc she would cause if she were to turn into one. So, I tried talking her out of it, "Sorry Margaret, but this book has a lot of advanced spells in it. Plus, I don't want you going around misusing them." I said, as I was trying to put the book away for the third time.
Before I could, however, Margaret lit up her horn and grabbed the book from me with her magic. "Hey! Give that back!"

"Oh come on Angel, I'm just going to take a little peak." She said, with a smug grin on her face.

I decided that maybe it wouldn't hurt if I let her read it for just a second. "Fine, but make it quick!" I exclaimed, with an annoyed look on my face.

"Awesome!" Margaret started skimming through the pages as quick as she could, until she was on the exact page I was at and started looking through it. Her eyes widened as she found that particular spell I didn't want her finding. "Oh my gosh! There's a spell in here that can turn you into a bat pony?" She asked excitedly.

I was not gonna let Margaret transform into a bat pony just so she could pull her pranks. "Yes, but I know what your thinking and the answer is no."

"Aww come on! It'll be fun! You can fly, have sharper teeth, hang upside-down from trees, and did I mention that you can fly?" She said with a smile.

"As much as I want to fly around Ponyville looking like a bat pony, the answer is still no." I said crossing my arms.

"Why not?!" Margaret whined.

"Because it says in there that other ponies might mistake us for actual bat ponies!" I exclaimed.

"And thats bad because…" Margaret said, motioning her hoofs for me to go on.

I facehoofed and said, "Margaret, don't you think that the townsponies would try to oh I don't know, hurt or capture us if they see us like that?!" I exclaimed.

Of course knowing Margaret, she just shrugged off my warnings, and tried to convince me even more of why we should be bat ponies for a day. "Come on Angel, it only lasts for a day, plus if you do it I'll give you some cake." She said, wearing that smug grin again.

I tried to resist, I tried saying no, but whenever cake was involved…
"FINE! Alright I'll do it! We can be bat ponies for the day ok?" I said frantically.

"Yes!" She said victoriously.

"That cake better be a darn good cake Margaret!" I said, looking at Margaret with a frown on my face.

"Don't worry, it will be the best cake you'll ever have!" She said reassuringly.

"Alright, hand me the book so I can cast the spell."

"Ok!" She said, handing the book over to me with her magic.

"I am so going to regret this later." I said, with a worried expression on my face.

"Oh relax Angel! After all, what could possibly go wrong?" She said happily.

Many things Margaret, many things can go wrong. Also, of all the things that could come out of your mouth, that just had to come out? This can only end so well...
I read what to do, and cast the spell on me and Margaret. A bright light overtook both of us as we were transforming. I began feeling the effects of the transformation taking place. I could feel two appendages coming from my back, which I assumed were wings. As the light faded from both of us, I didn't feel any different at first, but when I looked over at Margaret, I saw two large bat-like wings coming from her back. Thats not all, for she also had pointed ears, fangs, and her colors were darker than usual, she even had golden colored eyes instead of her regular orange colored eyes. I assumed I looked similar, but with some minor differences like my eye color.

She looked over at me, and started to smile. "Wow Angel! You look just like a bat pony, and your eyes are all red!"
I knew it!

"So do you, which means that the spell worked." I said with a smile, though I was mostly thinking about the cake I was gonna get.

"Awesome! Now let's go prank some townsponies!" She said, as she was heading out the door.

Before she could head out, however, I stopped her by going in front of her and said, "Hold on Margaret! Now I just want to tell you two things before we go."

"Oh, what is it now?" She said with an impatient look on her face.

"One, your doing the pranking, not me. Number two is try not to go too overboard with the pranks ok?"

"Yeah, yeah ok! Now can we please go now?" She said impatiently.
Not wanting to hold her up any longer, I moved out of the way and we were out the door.

Author's Note

If you don't know who Angel Star and Margaret are, read Surprise! Surprise! or Too Much Of A Good Thing.
Also, yeah, I kinda made Margaret a bit unlikable in this chapter, but don't worry. She's like that because she really wants to prank townsponies while the day lasts before the spell wears off. I mean, trolling is her special talent after all, and when there's pranking involved, of course she would try to convince Angel Star to cast the spell on them both.

Reason why she wants Angel to go with her is 1: There best friends, 2: Margaret loves doing stuff with Angel like shopping or pranking, and 3: She wants somepony to cover for her just in case things get bad. Like I said, her special talent is trolling. Hope that this answers some things. Last thing is I decided to have my OC break the 4th wall by talking to the viewer just because. :twilightsmile: Remember guys, I'm still new to this fan-fic thing so just bear with me.

Once we were out the door, we went our separate ways. Margaret tried flying to Ponyville, but she just ended up crashing into a tree. Once she got out though, she decided to work on her flying, and then get to pranking. I decided to work on my flying too, even though it was only going to last for a day. After a few trial and errors, I started to get the hang of it, and after a few more attempts, I was finally able to fly correctly. Though I still struggled a bit.
I decided to head towards the Everfree Forest, because I wanted to see what it was like flying above there. As I was about to go over there, I spotted a rather large puddle on the ground as I was flying. I landed next to it, so I could see what I actually looked like.

I started to look at my reflection in the water and thought, Whoa! I look really cool! I had red eyes like Margaret said, my ears were pointed, I had sharp fangs, my colors were darker, and I could now fully see my bat wings.
I was about to fly again, when I heard something growling. I was surprised at first, but then realized that it was just my stomach complaining. Sure, I could just go back home and eat something, but here's the thing, I started having a huge craving for apples! Margaret and I just finished the last two apples in our house yesterday. I couldn't go to Ponyville, because of the way I looked. There had to be a way to get apples somehow.

Then an idea came to my head.
I remember talking to Pinkie Pie one time, and she told me all about her friends and what they did. I also remember her talking about a specific pony who worked at the apple orchard, Sweet Apple Acres. I'm pretty sure if I just asked her nicely, she would give me some apples. I would have to explain the whole bat pony thing to her though.

It was settled. I decided to fly to Sweet Apple Acres to get some apples from Applejack.
I spread my wings and flew towards Sweet Apple Acres.

The flight there wasn't long, and I almost fell from the sky a few times, because my wings would not cooperate with me sometimes. I landed, and was starting to look around for the farm pony Pinkie was talking about. As I was walking I couldn't help but notice that the apples on the apple trees looked a lot more tasty-looking than usual. Seriously, my mouth was watering at the sight of them! It was too much, I couldn't take it anymore. I started flying into one of the trees, and ate a bunch of apples.
Little did I know that I had been spotted by the same Earth pony mare I was looking for. She looked up at the tree I was in and said, "Hey! What the hay are you doin' ta mah apple trees?"

I looked down at the Earth pony mare and my eyes started to widen with surprise and nervousness. "Oh! Uh, I wasn't eating your apples if that's what your thinking." I said, while rubbing the back of my neck nervously.

This mare was not having it. She had an angry look on her face and said, "Nice try, but I can tell when somepony is lyin' to me! Now get down here so we can talk face ta face."

After some thinking, I decided to go down there and apologize to her. I flew down, and was surprised to see the Earth pony mare wearing a face of pure shock instead of anger. Oops. I forgot about that.
Before I could explain myself, the Earth pony mare exclaimed, "Sweet apple pie! A bat pony who can talk!?"

"Look, before you freak out even more, can I just explain how I got like this? I wasn't a bat pony this morning." I said.

"Right, because ya got bit by one right?" She said, with a worried expression on her face.

"No. I didn't get bit. This transformation was caused by a spell." I said.

"There's a spell that can turn ponies into bat ponies?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It's a long story." I said, sitting down.

"Well, go ahead. I've got time." She said, sitting down across from me.

"Well..."

One story later...

"And that's what happened."

"So, let me get this straight. Yer friend wanted ta be a bat pony, and managed ta get you ta become one too?" She asked.

"Pretty much. Oh, and sorry about the apple trees. They just looked so good!" I said, looking at them.

"It's alright. If ya wanted some apples ya could of just asked me. I'm Applejack by the way." She said, kindly.

I chuckled a bit and said, "Yeah. Probably should have done that. Nice to meet you Applejack! I'm Angel Star."

"Oh yeah. Aren't you that pony that just moved here a few weeks ago?" She asked.

I smiled and said, "Yes I am. How did you know?"

Applejack smiled, and simply answered, "Pinkie Pie told me."

So far, Applejack was a really nice mare once you got to know her. We started talking about the different things we did in our lives. Her saving Equestria with her friends a few times, and me telling her how many spells I learned in the past. I was about to tell her of a recent adventure I had with Margaret, when all of a sudden I heard screaming that sounded a lot like Margaret. I groaned, and said, "Oh no, what has she done now?"

Applejack gave me a confused look and said, "Uh, might I ask what that was?"

"That Applejack, was my friend Margaret. Something tells me that her ''little prank'' is getting out of hoof. Sorry, but I have to go. Maybe we could talk more later?" I said.

"Sure. Oh, and here, take these." She said, giving me a small bag of apples.

"Oh Applejack, I can't accept this! Not after what I did to your tree." I said, sadly.

"It's just one tree Angel, they'll grow back." She said.

"Well, if you insist." I said, holding the bag in my magic.

I was about to fly off when Applejack said, "Yer still paying for em though."

"Heh, heh! Right." I said, nervously.
After paying her, I spread my wings and was flying towards where I heard Margaret's scream.

You know how bat ponies are with apples, they just can't control themselves. :trollestia:
Also, I really hope I did Applejack's wording right. This is also before the Bats! episode.
