The Call Of The Night

There she was,Twilight getting ready to cast a spell to cure Fluttershy of her fruit bat curse, but the Flutterbat didn't want to go down that easily so she tried her stare on the unicorn mare so when she cast the spell and a purple beam of magic appeared hitting the Flutterbat but because of her stare magical energy flowed both ways and twilight caught a glimpse of her changed friend's thoughts.She felt her desire to consume apples and to live with her own kind but also a struggle to break free of the fruit bat influence. Twilight shook her head and finished her spell and a moment later her friend was laying unconscious on the ground.

"So  is...is she ok now ?" asked applejack worrying about her pegasus friend.

"Yes, she is she just needs a good night's rest and she should be fine in the morning," replied Twilight ," but I need to lay down as well this spell has taken out a lot out of me."

"Well I'm glad to finally have my friend back." Rainbow said obviously happy that the whole problem is solved.

The girls picked up the currently unconscious Fluttershy and carried her to her small cottage where her critters were waiting for their dinner. As they were passing Applejack's prized apple Twilight stared at it for a moment with a sudden craving for apples but she shook that thought away and thought Why do I have a craving for apples? I already ate my dinner before coming here.

It was morning and Fluttershy was in her bed waking slowly smelling some vegetable stew and pancakes cooking. She yawned and got of the bed and Angel was there to say good morning and to get a hug. Flutters hugged Angel and said : "Good morning Angel how are you?" the white bunny just smiled back to her. She walked down to the kitchen to see Applejack and Pinkie cooking.

"Oh good morning sugarcube," Applejack said while finishing the stew she was cooking, "me and Pinkie decided to make some breakfast since you were so exhausted after last night, I made some vegetable stew."

"And I made PANCAKES" Pinkie said jumping up and down in her usual excited way.

"Oh you shouldn't have bothered girls really I could have done something on my own." she was saying while holding her head putting bits and peaces of last night's memories together, clearly trying not to be rude although she wasn't rude at all.

"well here we are anyways sugarcube." Applejack said bringing the stew to the table. The three mares sat down ready to talk about last night's events.

After breakfast Pinkie and Applejack said their goodbyes and went back home, leaving Fluttershy alone  home.I should give breakfast to all my lovely critters, she taught so she went to get the salads, nuts and other animal food."Here you go little ones ,"she said ,"I'm sorry Applejack and Pinkie had to feed you last night, I wasn't really myself yesterday."Her critters just gave her a forgiving smile and she smiled back at them relieved that they forgive her although there wasn't to much harm done. When she was done she went out to town to visit her friends and to restock on animal food and maybe buy some fruit for herself. she closed the door behind her and trotted along the dirt path to town. She was passing an apple tree when she felt a slight pang in her stomach I wonder what that was?

Twilight was just reading a book while eating her breakfast when spike asked her "What are you reading there Twi?"

"I'm reading up on mythical creatures like marewolves ,vamponys and things like that," she answered ,"I'm curious about what happened to poor Fluttershy last night, I want to know what specifically went wrong with my spell."

"oh, OK I will sort up those books you told me needed a place on the bookshelf. " Twilight nodded and continued reading her book.

She found a section about vampire fruit batponies spreading their curse, the book said :Fruit batponies can spread their curse although it is unknown how because it can depend on the pony in question but it is mostly spread magically after reading that she wondered how exactly was it spread magically. She was done with her oats so she closed her book and went out to the market.

Twilight was walking through the Ponyville town square when she saw a familiar yellow pegasus going to the market so she sprinted to catch up to her friend. "Hey Fluttershy," she shouted ,"wait for me!" the mare turned around to see her friend running towards her and for some reason she was glad to see her there. "Oh hello Twilight what are you doing here?" she asked.

"I'm here to buy some fruit Fluttershy maybe some apples." Twilight answered.

"Me to, but I also need some food for my critters." said the timid mare. They both went to buy their food but both had a funny feeling when they were passing buy the apple stand, some sort of an attraction to it.

Those apples sure do look delicious... both of them thought.

Both mares shook of that feeling and continued what they were here for.

Upon exiting the market they were both carrying a dozen bagged apples but Flutters was also carrying a bunch of animal foods.

"So that was nice." said the yellow mare.

"Yes it was ," replied the lavander unicorn ;"but I do not know why I bought apples ,I just felt like eating some."

"Yes me to I don't know why I did either I just felt like eating some today..."

With that they both walked home.
