Don't Worry, we Won't Bite! [Sequel to Night of The Werewolf]
A year has passed now since Vinyl had become a werewolf and as they climb into bed in their wolf forms. Over time, they had learned how to shift as they please, without the pain, and they preferred to stay in wolf form most of the time since they felt they bond more that way.
Within that year, every single resident in Ponyville had learned of this, but as Vinyl said, they'd get used to it, and they did, since they could walk around town without a single problem, and everypony treated them as who they were, and nobody judged them. Only con to all the pros, they can't talk to others, so they have to try and make gestures, or write what they're saying.
It was a crystal clear night, the full moon was out, but they paid no mind to it now that they knew they could stay as wolves as long as they pleased. They snuggled up like usual, Octavia laying on Vinyl's chest, when Vinyl got a sudden idea.
"Hey, Octy, I just got a really cool idea on how we can make more money!" She said as Octavia licked her neck.
A lot has happened in a year.
"Yes, Vinyl?" She asked as she looked into Vinyl's magenta eyes with those adorable black slits.
"What if we bit other ponies and made them werewolves?" She asked.
"What kind of idea is that?"
"I kinda just said it. To make money, duh!" Vinyl chuckled and rolled her eyes.
"But how would you do it? Just go up to random ponies and be like hey, want me to turn you into a werewolf?" She mocked with a slight giggle afterwards.
"No, I was thinking of starting a stand like fillies do when they sell lemonade during the summer."
"Oh, and instead of the sign saying lemonade, it will say something like get bitten, or become a werewolf?" She asked with a tilt of her head.
"Something like that. I thought of it because I've gotten a few letters of ponies asking me to bite them, so, if we started a stand, maybe we'll get some business!"
"I hate to say it, but that actually sounds like a great idea! But then again...being turned into a werewolf is a big decision." She said with a paw to her chin.
"I didn't even have to decide and my life has gotten better since you bit me. So, maybe it will do the same for others!"
"Good point. We'll first start by making flyers to see what ponies will think about it, and if they think it's a good idea then we should do it."
"I knew you'd understand, Octy." Vinyl said as she kissed Octavia, and turned out the light.
*****
"So how many flyers did you hand out, Vinyl?" Octavia asked as the white wolf known as Vinyl Scratch approached in front of the town hall.
"So far, I gave out like, all fifty I had." She replied as she threw an empty satchel to the ground.
"I have fifteen left. What should we do with these?"
"Hang em around town maybe, so other ponies will see them." She shrugged.
"That could work, Vinyl." She said as she waved a paw to a few passing ponies who had been given flyers.
"I just hope we at least get some business, because I spent all morning long making those flyers. It would suck for ponies to not even care." Vinyl sighed.
Octavia put a paw on her shoulder. "I'm sure you'll at least get a few ponies to try." She said softly, with a sincere smile.
"I know. Thanks Octy." Vinyl smiled as she took half of the few remaining flyers. "Should we spread out again for these?"
"Yeah that would be a good idea." Octavia nodded.
"Okay. Meet up again here?"
"Sure, why not?" Octavia said as she leaned in to give Vinyl a kiss.
"See you later." Vinyl smiled as she pulled away a few seconds later and trotted away.
Vinyl trotted through town in the light of day in the form of a wolf. Some stopped and stared, some waved and said hello, and others just passed on by. There were just some ponies who had a hard time believing that Ponyville's most famous musicians just happened to be werewolves, and boy, Vinyl was glad to be one, if you couldn't tell already.
She decided to stop at the most busiest places in town to hang her flyers in hopes that ponies would see them. Heck it seemed like everywhere was busy since all the streets were kind of crowded. She stopped in at a game center place where ponies would come to buy/sell/rent quality video games, devices, consoles and other things among that.
There was a dinging sound as Vinyl opened the door from the bell above it Che trotted merrily inside, and the clerk looked up from the comic book she was reading to see her customer. She was a white pegasus with a messy yellow and blue mane and tail. She also had ocean blue eyes, garnished with the freckles on her cheeks.
"Oh, hey Vinyl! How are things going?" She asked a bit tiredly. She had been one of those ponies who asked to be made a werewolf, so she was glad to see her, hoping she'd just bite her
Not being able to talk, she only nodded as she went over to the advertisement billboard in the center of the shop. With one of the pins, she stuck it into the paper and hung it up with her magic and smiled at her work:
Become a werewolf for Nightmare night!
Interested? There will be a stand up by the town hall if you wish to be bitten. We will be open from 6-8 pm tonight before tomorrow; the day of Nightmare Night!
5 bits for fillies and colts (with parent/guardian permission and they MUST be present!!)
10 bits for mares and stallions of all ages.
We hope to see you there! (the transformation DOES hurt!)
"This is gonna be so awesome." Vinyl said happily to herself, with a large grin.
*****
After they both had hung the rest of their posters around, Vinyl and Octavia met back up at the town hall as they said they would.
"Vinyl, I'm not so sure if we should be doing this..." Octavia said slowly, as she rubbed the back of her neck with a paw.
"Why not? We're gonna make so much money I bet! Soon everypony in Ponyville is gonna want to become one of us, I bet!" Vinyl wore the same happy smile as when she woke up this morning, doing small hops in place.
"That's just the thing, Vinyl. What if all of Equestria finds out a Ponyville has suddenly become the home to a town full of werewlves?"
"Octy. We're good werewolves, okay? I'm sure everyone else here is gonna be good too. And if everybody did find out, they'd probably want to come and see what's up. Then they'd find out we're a happy town of friendly werewolves!"
Octavia didn't know what to say, so she only shrugged. "Maybe you're right. Plus it would be cool for Nightmare night!" Octavia let out a small giggle. "It would be funny if Princess Luna came again to come to find we're all werewolves!"
"I know! So, do you still think it's a bad idea?"
"No, really. I wanna see who our first customer is actually."
"Maybe one of the ponies who wrote us to bite them?" Vinyl answered with a small shrug.
"Maybe. So, I have a rehearsal to get to, so, I have to get going, sadly." Octavia gave a small sigh as she turned back into a pony. "See you around, Vinyl." She kissed Vinyl on the cheek and began to trot off for the train station since her rehearsal was in Manehattan.
"Arf ruff!" Vinyl called out to her.
"I love you too, Vinyl." Octavia said as she disappeared out of sight around the corner.
"And I have a gig to get to." Vinyl said as she turned back into her pony form as well. She moved her headphones from her neck up to her ears as the bass began to play.
*****
Later that night, Vinyl and Octy brought their dinning room table out in front of the town hall, and began to set it up. Vinyl had made a couple more posters to decorate the table with, as well as lights to brighten up the dark of night. She also brought a small speaker with to play a remix she and Octavia made.
Octavia was busy fixing her mane with her paws as she waited for the first customer. A group of ponies stood watching nearby as Vinyl put up the 'now open for business sign' in the middle of the table. Octavia put on her usual business smile as a few ponies came closer with skeptical faces.
It was a partially cloudy night, and like the night before, the moon was, full, and and the air brought a gentle breeze.
One stallion came up and began to read one of the posters.
"So you're planning on making money by turning ponies into werewolves?" He asked, the voice belonging to the one and only Doctor Whooves.
Vinyl nodded.
"That's quite funny actually. Trying to make money by biting other? Never seen such kind of strategy before." He said as he rubbed his chin with a hoof. "Hmmm...to be or not to be?" He continued to think for a moment. "I'll give it a shot." He said as he set down ten bits on the table in front of Vinyl. "How is this going to work? Do I just give you my hoof or something?"
Vinyl nodded again.
"This is going to hurt isn't it?" He asked as he was now a bit hesitant."
Vinyl shrugged and gave a small shake of her head.
"I'm trusting you." He said with a nod as he reached a hoof out while other ponies watched in susepense.
Vinyl opened her mouth and lowered a singly fang into his skin, pressing just enough to puncture it. Having sharp canines made it pretty easy. The Doctor only winced as the pain was small and lasted very short.
"So...what happens if it doesn't work?"
Vinyl pointed to the open sign where it said refunds will be given to those it didn't work for.
"Oh...well, um...thank you." He said sheepishly and trotted off.
Vinyl and Octavia waved their good byes as the surrounding ponies slowly began to line up. A few of them, anyway. They formed two lined, one in front of Vinyl, and one in front of Octavia, and they officially began business. They gave a thanking nod to all who purchased their new werewolf ability.
Octavia smiled as the next customer in line stepped up.
"Hiya!" said a cheerful Rainbow Dash as she laid her ten bits into the jar they set out. She smiled eagerly as she lent her hoof to the grey wolf who inserted her tooth into the cyan mare's leg. "This is gonna be so awesome!" She squeed with excitement as she flew away, staring at her bite mark.
"Hi!" said a pair of three happy voices.
Vinyl looked down to see three fillies standing before her with big smiles. Vinyl shook her head an pointed at the poster right in front of their faces.
"Oh, Rainbow Dash was just here, and she said I could. We just came through this line because it was shorter, and Raibow Dash kind of left me behind..."
Octavia looked to Vinyl and shook her head before she had to bite another paying customer; Roseluck.
As if to say "Sorry kid" Vinyl only shrugged and waved them away.
"Aweeee." The three of them muttered as they hung their heads and walked away.
"Hey, what's the big idea, Vinyl!?" Asked an irritated Rainbow Dash who had come back to check on Scootaloo. "I said she could!"
Again, Vinyl pointed to the poster on the side of the table.
"Heh, oh yeah. Sorry." Rainbow blushed with embarrassment as Scootaloo went back and gave Vinyl her foreleg.
Vinyl gave Scootaloo her bite and Scootaloo gave Vinyl the five its she owed and was on her way with Rainbow Dash.
"Awe, but what about us!?" Applebloom and Sweetie Belle whined in unison.
"Sorry, I'm not your parent or guardian." Said Rainbow as she flew backwards, and upside down.
"Oh horse apples!" Applebloom grunted as she gave a small pebble a kick.
Within the next half hour, more ponies came to be 'bitten, and Vinyl had to make a quick run home to get another jar since the other one was full. At first, most ponies thought of it as weird to get bitten, but as more came, they decided to get bitten as well, seeing how the majority of passing ponies stopped by, and they had a line about a quarter of a block long.
"Thanks!" Said the next pony in line as she received her bite from Vinyl.
"Thank you very much!" Said another, as he left Octavia's being a deep voiced stallion, I think you all know who I'm talking about. Here's a hint: Eeyup!
"Thank you." Said Carrot top as she paid her bits and left like everypony else.
"Muffin!"
As time passed, business began to slow, and there were only a few ponies here and there who came by, and by now, they swore they've gotten at least half of Ponyville bitten. They even went past their two hour time limit since ponies just kept coming.
"How many bits do we have so far?" Vinyl asked.
"Like Celestia's sun if I know! But with the surprising amount of business we've been getting, there's gotta be hundreds in there!" Octavia said with an excited ton in her voice as she gazed at the four half gallon sized jars.
"I know, right? I knew it was a good idea to do this!" Vinyl cheered happily as she gave Octavia a hug.
"HEY!" A voice with a southern accent shouted.
Vinyl and Octavia looked to see Applejack and the rest of the mane six, plus Sweetie Belle and Applebloom.
"What makes you think ya'll can go an' turn my brother into a werewolf, huh!?"
Vinyl and Octavia exchanged glances with each other.
"Ah...ah know it's been much longer than two hours, but..." She said as she placed ten bits on the table.
Vinyl nodded as she gave Applejack her bite.
"Wow...didn't hurt as much as I thought that would...ah barely felt anything..." She stared at her leg, just the smallest bit of blood came from it. "Uh...thanks!"
"Ohh ohh, me too!" Applebloom cheered.
"Applebloom, since me an Big Mac are werewolves now, I'd let you, but the sign says the transformation hurts a lot. Ah don't wanna see you go through that. I don't know why Big Mac did it, but I did in hopes it can help me do my duties better at home. Sorry kid."
"Awe, but Scootaloo got too!" Applebloom whined. "Ah know it's gunna hurt, but Vinyl said it doesn't after the first few times!"
"Ah alright, fine." Applejack sighed as she was tightly hugged by her younger sister.
"Can I borrow five bits?" She asked.
"You don't have any of your own? And Ah only brought ten with me for that."
"Awe maaannnn..." She sighed heavily until she felt a paw on her shoulder. She looked behind her to see Octavia standing there with a smile as she took Appleblooms left foreleg, and gave it a small prick from her fang. "Oh my gosh, thank you Octavia!" She hugged the wolf tightly, and Octavia returned it and licked Applebloom's cheek. "Ewwww!" She giggled.
"Okay, Applebloom, let's go home now." Applejack said as she and her sister began walking home.
"I'm sorry for feeding you guys chocolate..." Pinkie said as she paid her ten bits. Vinyl and Octavia rolled their eyes as this was the 4,375th time she has apologized about feeding them those cupcakes a year ago.
Vinyl bit her fang down into Pinkie Pie's foreleg.
"Thank you!" She said as she happily bounced away.
"Rarity, can I be bitten too, since Scootaloo and Applebloom got to?" Sweetie Belle asked as she tugged at Rarity's shoulder.
"I would say no, but since your friends got to, I don;t want you to feel left out, so here you go." Rarity gave Sweetie Belle five bits.
"Thank you so much!" She squeed as she received her bite from Octavia.
Vinyl then pointed a paw at Rarity.
"Oh, me? No, I'd rather not...but then again..." She put a hoof to her chin as she pondered becoming a werewolf. "Okay, I'll do it." She pulled ten more bits out of her satchel and set them on the table with her magic. She bit her lip as she shook slightly, slowly reaching a foreleg out.
"It's okay, Rarity, It didn't hurt, so just do it!" Said Sweetie Belle with a voice of encouragement.
"Eeeee." She closed her eyes as Vinyl's sharp tooth pierced her skin under her fur. "Is it over yet?" She opened one eye to see her hoof still held out as Octavia and Vinyl sat there. "ddi you do it?
They both nodded.
"Oh, I hardly felt a thing! And um...thanks, I guess..." Rarity stared at her hoof as she and Sweetie Belle trotted home.
"Now, I have to say," Twilight began. "You guys have been making quite the profit off of this, haven't you?" She asked, as she gazed down at the four full jars with another small pile of bits off to the side.
Vinyl nodded in agreement.
"I heard you guys were going to be doing this, but i didn't think you'd be getting this much business! Honestly, I would pay to get bitten, but I already have enough on my hooves as a princess of Equestria. So, I won't be joining my frineds in being a werewolf, although it does sound very interesting."
Vinyl and Octavia nodded again.
"Great work you two, and have a good night!" Said Twilight before teleporting home.
"So, do you think we did a good job, Octy?" Vinyl asked.
"Like Twilight said, I'm surprised we got as much business as we did!"
"Now half of Ponyville have been turned into werewolves" Vinyl said cheerfully.
"Yes, well..." yawned Octavia. "We best be getting home. I'm really tired, Vinyl. We can count our money tomorrow." She said as she began to pack up, until a loud zap was heard, followed by a large flash of yellow light.
As it dissipated, standing there was none other than Princess Celestia herself.
"Princess Celestia!" The two wolves shouted in amazement. Of course, all Celestia heard was barking.
They stood there unbelieving to what they see, whe they finally registered they needed to transform back into ponies.
"Your majesty!" Octavia ran around the table and bowed. Vinyl soon followed. "Wh-what are you doing here?"
"Princess Twilight Sparkle had informed me of what you two have been doing all night, and by the looks of it, I see you've done a well job at it." She stated with her usual poker face. Her name sparkled in the moon light as it waved with the wind.
"Do you mean that in a good way, or a bad way?" Vinyl asked.
Celestia only smiled. "Did you save a bite for me?"
"Wh-you want to be a werewolf?" Octavia asked sounding very shocked.
Celestia nodded. "I would like to, yes. It would also give Luna quite the surprise tomorrow. Here is what I owe." She said as she conjured up ten bits from nothing and placed them on the table in her yellow aura of magic.
Vinyl and Octavia glanced at each other, then back to Celestia, an Octavia stepped forward as she changed back into her wolf form.
Celestia simply smiled as she gave her her hoof, first taking her golden shoe off so it wasn't in the way.
Octavia looked at Celestia for a second, and once again, Celestia nodded. Octavia then slowly sunk her fang ever so slightly into the sun goddess's foreleg before changing back.
"Now, what do you two plan on doing with all that money you've earned?" Celestia asked as she placed her shoe back on.
"Yeah, Vinyl. What are we going to do?"
"Well, we make much more money than we need and, it would be kind of greedy to just keep all this for ourselves." Vinyl stated.
"Charity!" Octavia piped up.
"That sounds like a good idea." Celestia agreed with a nod of her head.
*****
The following night, Vinyl and Octavia (in wolf form) found themselves walking through a town of hyper active wolves. And since they too were wolves, they knew exactly what they were saying. Things like:
"PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY PLAY!!!!!"
"Ohhh a stick!!
"What's this hairy thing attached to my butt? I'm gonna catch it!"
"A fire hydrant? Let's pee on it!"
"Hey, look at me! I'm pooping on a lawn, and it's not mine! Hahahahaha!"
"Hey, you there! Let me sniff your butt!"
"Vinyl?"
"Yes, Octavia?"
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..."
"You're telling me..."
*****
Up in the Canterlot Castle, Luna was heading to Celestia's room to tell her she was heading down to Ponyville to pay a visit, when all of a sudden"
"AAAWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!"
"Tia...?" She slowed her pace as she wondered what awkward things Celestia was doing in her room.
She approached the door, opening it slowly to a room with a sun shaped chandelier, with the image of Cia hanging from it, since they had discovered human existence other than their alternate world, and she found that song rather entertaining as she wouldn't stop singing it weeks after she had learned it words for word.
Under that chandelier was her very large king size bed with its yellow covers, and sun decorated headboard. And on top of that bed sat an unconscious werewolf in Celestia's clothing. It heard Luna enter the room and it slowly lifted it's head.
"Tia...?"
The adorableness of the cuddles the two had simply cannot be described in anyway possible, and the next day, Celestia went to get Luna bitten, and Luna seemed very excited about it. Needless to say, almost everything turned out alright in the end.
The end...
