Previous ChapterNext Chapter

                     Fluttershy one day went to see Applejack, when AJ's bell went off. That usually meant there is an emergency, and Fluttershy rushed with the rest of her friends to get over to see if Applejack was alright.

                     "Thank y'all for coming. Vampire fruit bats have been attackin' the orchard. I need y'all to help me get 'em out." said Applejack.

_________

                     Fluttershy agreed to do the stare on the vampire fruit bats to save the apple orchard. She gave them the stare, and Twilight cast a spell on them, making the bats not want to eat apples again. Fluttershy felt a strange sensation fall over her, and then the bats looked around, and flew off.

                     "Girls, go see if the bats still want the apples." commanded Twilight. Rainbow held an apple to some bats, and they all turned the apple away, and did other things.

                    "Aw, yeah! More cider for the winter!" exclaimed Rainbow as she bit into the apple. Fluttershy couldn't feel anything but guilt, what would the bats eat now?

_________

                    That night, Fluttershy didn't feel well. She finished her daisy sandwich she made for dinner, and went into her room. Angel was asleep, in his little bed. When Fluttershy was halfway to her bed, she fainted and lay there on the ground.

                   Flutterbat, a new personality, woke up inside of Fluttershy. Fluttershy's wings turned bat-like and her eyes were red. Flutterbat was in the control, and she flew to the apple orchard. The only thought in her mind was, I have to eat the delicious and juicy apples, or ponies. Flutterbat started jumping at apples in the first tree. She found a rabbit, and attacked it. Flutterbat drank down its blood, and then went back to the apples. That rabbit was amazing, thought Flutterbat, as she sucked the juice from an apple.

                   "What in the hay is all this here racket?" asked Applejack to herself as she trotted around. She gasped. "Oh Celestia! What happened to this bunny?" Applejack prodded it, and leaped back. "I gotta find the gun." Applejack ran off, leaving Flutterbat in shock.

                   "I should have been more careful! Now, I have to stay as hidden as I can. I also better move to the other side of the orchard." muttered Flutterbat to herself, as she flew as fast as she could to the other side of the orchard. "Nice place here, full of animals and apples." Flutterbat only caught 1 more animal, as the rest were scared off, but ate a whole section of the apples. It was quite a good meal, thought the yellow bat pony to herself. She saw the sun starting to rise, and hissed. Flutterbat flew to the door of her cottage, and fainted.

_________

                    "Oh dear..." said Fluttershy, as Applejack said she found a dead rabbit in the orchard. Fluttershy had no memory of the previous night. What possibly wanted to kill a cute bunny?

                    "Maybe Twi's spell backfired and the bats want to eat animals now!" Applejack had gotten the rest of the ponies, and Twilight gasped.

                    "Maybe... But, nopony leaves the orchard tonight until we find out the mystery!" Twilight says, and everypony but Fluttershy cheers. What if she was attacked by whatever killed the bunny? Fluttershy started off searching the orchard from the ground. The 6 split up and were searching around. Fluttershy wasn't feeling well again. She fainted... again...

_________

                    Flutterbat awoke again. She looked around, making sure nopony was around. She flew past a white unicorn, having no memories of what happened before. She swooped not too far from the unicorn's head. She then flew off and ate some apples. She then hung upside-down on a branch and wrapped her wings around herself. An orange earthpony dropped her jaw and put a symbol in the sky. The bat-pony didn't care. She hung there, seeing more ponies gather around.

                    "Hey silly!" said a pink earthpony, as she shined a light in Flutterbat's eyes. Flutterbat hissed, making the pony go back to the ground. Good riddance, thought Flutterbat as she ate another apple. The ponies were talking to each other, but Flutterbat couldn't hear them. She then swooped not far from their heads and went somewhere else and found a squirrel and sucked its blood dry. She ate some apples until she scented the best smelling apple she ever scented. Flutterbat went toward a huge apple and the orange pony kicked it. Flutterbat saw something giving it a hard stare, then flew over to another, then was paralyzed by a last one. A purple alicorn used her horn and wrapped Flutterbat in a pink case. Flutterbat struggled around, but it was no use. She blacked out.

_________

                   Fluttershy opened her eyes, and her friends ran up to her and hugged her. Fluttershy was confused.

                   "You were a vampire!" said Pinkie. Panic washed over Fluttershy.

                   "I tried to eat ponies?" asked Fluttershy, frantic.

                   "No!"

                   "So I wasn't a vampire?"

                   "Yes."

                   "Yes I was or yes I wasn't?"

                   "Yes you were."

                   "I'm confused." said Fluttershy finally, and then they went to their homes and slept.
