Chapter 2: Applejack's Reaction

Applejack had been going about her normal day to day routine, when out of nowhere Fluttershy tackled her.

She blinked and looked up towards Fluttershy who backed off of her when she realized what she had done. Applejack hadn't said anything just yet, but that look in Fluttershy's eyes reminded her of one thing...Flutterbat.

Didn't Twilight fix things? Fluttershy was back to normal right? She took a deep breath as she spoke, not wanting to scare Fluttershy.

“Fluttershy...what's wrong?” she questioned, the concern audible in her tone. Applejack wanted to help her, but she wasn't sure exactly what was going on. Her instincts told her whatever it was, it couldn't be good.

“I...don't know,” replied Fluttershy honestly.

“Listen, whatever it is, you can tell me okay? Just try…,” spoke Applejack softly. She noticed how Fluttershy tensed up and her ears drooped just a bit. Applejack put a hoof on her shoulder, to assure her everything would be okay.

“I'm scared,” Fluttershy whimpered.

“Scared of what? Me? You know I would never hurt you, Sugarcube,”
assured Applejack.

“No...not you. Of myself, of what I might do to you,” replied Fluttershy.

Hearing that only confirmed her suspicions, Flutterbat was every bit still a part of her, but why would it want anything to do with her? Did it think she was an apple? As she stood and thought about it, she realized that neither of them really fully knew what was going on, but her brows furrowed, they’d figure this out together.

“Fluttershy, don't be scared, we can just sit and talk this out okay? Everything will be fine, we just need to figure this out,” began Applejack, rubbing at her chin, trying to think of exactly what to do next. She wasn't one to typically think about this kind of stuff, but if there was one thing she did know, was that she would do anything for her friends, no matter what.

How could she not be scared? She didn't want to hurt anypony, especially not one of her closest friends. She knew how much she hated the vampire fruit bats, and she really didn't want her to end up hating her, or worse...

Fluttershy took a deep, steadying breath, her whole body feeling like it would give out from under her. It seemed confiding in Applejack had been the right decision after all.

Suddenly, she felt a hoof on her shoulder, normally this would have made her jump, but she was calmed in hearing the all too familiar southern drawl that belonged to one of her dearest friends.

“Sugarcube, it's okay to be scared, it's only natural. I hate seeing you so unsure of yourself, I know Fluttershy would never want to harm her friends, don't you worry your little head off. I've got a few ideas stirring,” stated Applejack.

Applejack took a deep breath as she steadied her hooves upon the earthly grounds between her. Solid as a oak, she was ever firm and vigil.

“But…,” began Fluttershy when Applejack shook her head and looked right into Fluttershy's hues of green.

“No buts, we all have our doubts; we all have our faults and failings. we’ll figure this out, I know it. I feel it right here,” spoke Applejack her hoof right on top of Fluttershy's chest, where she was able to feel her heart thumping through her touch.

“What if...I can't control the urge?” spoke Fluttershy her ears fattened to the side of her head, her head sinking just a bit.

“If that happens, if we'll figure out what to do then if that time comes. For now, just try not to let Flutterbat take over the Fluttershy we all love and care for,” replied Applejack.

“Okay...,” replied Fluttershy timidly. Her wings straightened a bit, her heart a fluttering and a slight smile crossing her lips, as she leaned in to embrace Applejack in a soft hug.

Applejack leaned into the hug, and the two held each other. They nuzzled against each other affectionately Applejack let go of the hold as she tipped her hat towards Fluttershy.

“I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but I have lots of work to do. If you need me, just come and find me, and I'll make time,” spoke Applejack.

“Do you need help?” questioned Fluttershy.

“No thank you, Fluttershy. Big Mac, Apple Bloom and Granny are helping out this year, so I'm not doing it all by myself.”

“Uh-huh,” replied Fluttershy softly. She should probably get going...she knew Angel was probably expecting her by this point. Though she had completely forgotten the reason she had come here. The bats!

“Oh...um, Applejack…,” began Fluttershy.

“Yes, Sugarcube what is it?” questioned Applejack as she had been about to begin apple bucking again, when Fluttershy had spoke up once more. She began to wonder if this was going to be a real issue for the two of them.

“Could I check in on the vampire fruit bats? You know make sure they're okay?” she asked.

“Of course. You don't need to ask that. You are always welcome to check on them whenever you would like, after all the sanctuary was your idea after all,” replied Applejack.

Fluttershy nodded and walked over to where the sanctuary was located. It wasn't far off from the main part of the orchard, she could hear the loud thud when Applejack's hooves hit against the trees.

One of the little bats landed on her shoulder, her muzzle nudging it's own affectively so.

“Oh how I've missed you! How are you and your family?” she asked the little one.

The little one seemed to flap about in the air, using her wingspan and her fangs as she chattered on about how things were much better now that they had food for their bellies and the little ones wouldn't starve. She nuzzled more against Fluttershy, almost clinging to her, before she heard her mother screech for her, and then she had to flutter off.

Fluttershy waved to them, she sat down on her rump as she simply enjoyed the view the sanctuary gave to her. There was nothing quite like the feeling knowing she had been in the right all along even if it had been hard to stand up for herself. She inhaled a deep breath, letting it out slowly. Things were going to get better; she was sure of that much. At least, it was one thing she was sure of….

She couldn't help it. Even with Applejack's support, she still felt confused about her other half. Perhaps it was all in her mind? She...didn't really want Applejack like that right? Sure...she had often thought of someday finding a special somepony and being with someone like Applejack wouldn't be too hard for her to see, but there was a big difference between lust and love, and she had to sit and think, how did she feel about Applejack?

Applejack was a kind and loyal pony that would do just about anything for any pony in need. She was dedicated and honest, and a very hard worker. She often overworked herself in order to meet the needs of the town. This Fluttershy knew all too well, they were good friends after all.

She enjoyed watching the bats as they flew from tree to tree. She even watched as a momma bat feed her little ones for the very first time. It was so endearing to see. She knew that this was the right thing to do even if she had been scared before. She felt much more confident in her decision and why she had said the things she had. She understood Applejack's hesitation to the idea, but after her becoming Flutterbat it was then that Applejack fixed things, but yet...Flutterbat was still a part of her. She worried about what might happen if things got out of hand. She certainly didn't want to do anything to Applejack like that. No...she wouldn't.

Fluttershy simply decided to sit there awhile longer. She was able to hear Applejack applebucking the trees. She smiled every so slightly. She stood up on her hooves, wiping the little bit of dirt that got entangled in her tail before moving on. She needed to get back to her animals she knew Angel at the very least was wondering where she had gotten off too. She paused in her steps and thought about stopping by Twilight's and talking to her about how she felt, but she had already put her trust in Applejack, and she'd rather not get more ponies involved unless it was necessary. Maybe...just maybe she was delusional, and she had simply imagined those thoughts had come from within her. She quickly shook the image of digging fangs into Applejack's flank and went to leave the orchard.

“Hey Fluttershy!” yelled a young and chipper voice.

Fluttershy stopped immediately in her tracks as an ever excited Apple Bloom came into view, bouncing on her little hooves as she walked along.

“Oh hello there Apple Bloom, how are you?” questioned Fluttershy trying to strike up a conservation, yet hoping it wouldn't take long. Angel could be down right nasty when she took too long, and she didn't like making him wait so long for her.

“Oh I'm just dandy. The crusaders are finally going to get our cutie marks!” shouted Apple Bloom as her hooves left the ground, and then fell back down.

“Oh? Really? What in this time?” she asked curiously.

“Mountain climbing!” replied Apple Bloom ecstatically.

“Oh dear...isn't that dangerous?” replied Fluttershy. Her hoof immediately went to her lips, and her wings folded tightly against her frame as she attempted to picture three little fillies climbing a mountain in order to get their cutie marks.

“Yep, but it's okay because sis made us all these cool helmets, and Sweetie Belle is bringing supplies from Carousel boutique, and Scootaloo is bringing ropes,” replied Apple Bloom.

Fluttershy inhaled deeply as her ears folded against her mane. She worried about them getting in over their heads with trying to find their purpose. It wasn't something you could rush. It just came when it was time. Though before she had time to say anything else to Apple Bloom, the filly had already dashed off. Oh well...she was sure they’'d be fine...

She decided not to worry too much about it, and head back to her cottage. On her way, she could see the sweat running down Applejack's face as she wiped her brow with her one hoof. She took a pause after finishing another round of trees in the orchard. She worked too hard she thought. If only there was something she could do to help, but she was a pegasus and didn't really have the endurance for this kind of work, but even getting her baskets would save a little time wouldn't it? Though...as she looked towards Applejack, she felt this sensation run through her. She quickly shook her head. No, just ignore it Fluttershy. It's just your imagination.

Applejack was her friend, not some apple to be eaten...especially not like that. Heck, even if she tried to do such a thing, she'd end up being the one on the bottom. She wasn't a very brave pony. Heck, most of the time she hid herself behind Applejack in the face of danger, yet this other side of her was so drastically different. The things it wanted to do, the lust she felt rising within her. She was suddenly drenched in sweat and she hadn't even lifted a hoof to help…

She found herself memorized, starring hungrily, lustfully at Applejack's hindquarters. She licked her lips. Her eyes seemed to change from a green to a more reddish color. She didn't grow fangs and her wings or mark didn't change, but she felt the urge to pounce Applejack and have her way with her even though she knew inside of her that wasn't what she wanted.

“Fluttershy?” questioned Applejack, “Are you quite alright?”

“I'm fine…,” she spoke in a cheerful yet somewhat sadistic manner.

“You sure about that? You don't quite seem like yourself, Sugarcube,” replied Applejack.

“Oh, I assure you Applejack I'm perfectly normal, nothing to worry about at all,” replied Fluttershy as she went and licked at the side of Applejack's cheek.

Applejack just stood there silently. She had been about to say something, but stopped herself short. There was certainly something wrong, and Fluttershy seemed sure there wasn't. It seemed they had two conflicting opinions once more. Applejack planned to get to the bottom of this. She surveyed Fluttershy's posture and even her expression. Yep...there was no doubt in her mind. She was going to get help, and she knew just the pony to talk too — the pony who had accidentally caused this whole thing in the first place, Twilight.

“Fluttershy, why don't you stay here and help Big Mac with the apples. Just, you know, get him fresh baskets when he needs them. I'm going to go run a quick errand, and I'll be right back,” spoke Applejack. It was technically not lying, but she felt a bit disheartened by tricking Fluttershy to stay here like that.

“Oh...sure I'd love too,” smiled Fluttershy as she happily flew over to where Big Mac was.

Hopefully, she could get Twilight's help, before anything...happened.

Applejack hurried her hooves over to Twilight's home of the Golden Oak's library, and knocked on the door. A few ponies of the town had waved to her. One had even asked for her signature. She didn't have time for this! She had something important to do. She took a deep breath, holding her hat close to her chest as she thought of her dear friend. She was sure this wasn't normal of her. It had to have something to do with those gosh darn bats. She clenched her teeth, putting her hat back upon her head when Twilight came to the door.

“Applejack?” she questioned. “What are you doing here? I thought you'd be out applebucking at this time of the day.”

“Well, yes... I was, but Twilight, can I come in? We really need to talk.” She leaned in close enough for Twilight to hear and made it barely audible enough for even Twilight to hear. “I think Flutterbat might still be within our dear friend.”

“Oh...Celestia!” exclaimed Twilight as a hoof went to her mouth.

“Shh, not so loud. We don't want to get too many involved in this. You know fully well how sensitive it is.”

“Yes, come in. Spike! I need books!”

“Don't you always?” replied Spike with a raised eyebrow.

That was when Twilight Sparkle hoof palmed, and told Spike which particular books to go and fetch from the shelves while she and Applejack went into her private study to talk about what was going on. Twilight didn't really know the full story yet, but she would do whatever she could to help. Fluttershy was a dear friend, and especially with how things went with the whole bat thing, she wanted to make it up to her for seeming so rude and uncaring for the feelings of the animals. Twilight Sparkle sighed. She should know by now that magic was never going to fix things so easily.

Author's Note

Hey every pony, thanks for reading this if you are reading it as I write this. I...am so grateful that you take the time to read these stories of mine, they keep me from depression, and give me something to do that I truly enjoy, and even if I'm not the "best" out there, I hope I can bring forth something worthwhile. Not sure when Chapter 3 will be written, but hopefully it doesn't take me a whole month!

Chapter 3: Love Bites

“Twilight, I'm rather concerned about Fluttershy. I reckon she's been acting rather odd around me lately.” began Applejack, as she sat on her hindquarters in the library with Twilight. She knew if any pony knew what to do, it was Twilight.

Twilight dug through her library collection, book after book until she found the one she wanted. “Everything, you’ve ever wanted to know about vampire bats. And vampire lore, filly tale or reality?” She brought her nose up from the pages, to address Applejack.

“Could you clarify what sort of odd behavior? It says here in this book that vampires often have lust. Oh, isn't that fascinating?” replied Twilight clapping her hooves together, before she coughed against her hooves. “Though I guess it's kind of scary too.”

“Um...Sugarcube do you even know what that means?” questioned Applejack raising a brow softly. Her eyes darted back and forth, as a beat of sweat rolled down her cheeks, her face reddening.

“Well, it says here in this book that...” began Twilight face reddening from what she was reading. “Oh….” Twilight paused, hesitantly lifting her muzzle out of the pages of the book, looking straight at Applejack with a soft blush.

“Listen, Twilight I understand ya rely on your books for just about anything, but a book ain't about to solve our problem. We need to tackle this head-on. As much as I hate to say it, I'm going to have to be straight with Fluttershy. And I'd rather not hurt a friend. That's why I came here, to get help.” explained Applejack. She furrowed her nose a bit, sighing.

“Hmm...I suppose you are right. We need to tackle this problem head-on. But what are you going to do if Fluttershy goes crazy and attacks you?” questioned Twilight Sparkle, a slight twitch in her eyes.

“Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but if it does, I'll defend myself. I love Fluttershy dearly, but I want her to be in her proper state of mind y'know?”

“Alright. Spike! Watch the library, for now, I'm heading out with Applejack, and well I'm not sure when I'll be back.”

“Have fun.” replied Spike, a slight sigh as his claws held onto the broom as he swept the library’s frontier. The dragon couldn’t help but scoff and take a long breath.

Applejack and Twilight hurried back to the farm, the two trotting rather quickly to speak with Fluttershy.

“Do you think you’ll know what to do once we get there?” questioned Applejack, dashing towards Apple Acres.

“I’ll know more once I see Fluttershy in person. Right now, all I know is what you’ve told me, and that’s not much to work off of.” responded Twilight, a slight drop of sweat dripping down her face, flushed a bit from keeping pace with Applejack.

“There she is.” shouted Applejack, halting her hooves to a stop in front of Fluttershy.

“Fluttershy, how good it is to see you. How are you? And are the bats adjusting well?” questioned Twilight. She had to observe her behavior, and then she’d know what needed to be done.

Fluttershy was sitting calmly, speaking with the bats from what Applejack could tell. Perhaps she had just been worried over nothing and everything would be back to normal. Fluttershy turned her head towards the two mares, and flashed a grin, and Applejack found herself coming to a dead stop.

“Fluttershy...is that you?” questioned Applejack, a slight drop of sweat running down her brow before she approached her friend cautiously, one hoof step at a time, as Twilight nervously shifted her weight from side to side.

“Of course it's me. Why wouldn't it be?” questioned Fluttershy, tilting her head towards Applejack.

Applejack sighed heavily. “Fluttershy, I reckon it's just ya'll seem different. And the way you've been acting towards me has been rather concerning. We both don't want to hurt any pony. So just tell us....is Flutterbat gone?”

Fluttershy whimpered a bit, ears drooping. She knew. Of course, she knew. She was Applejack, how wouldn't she notice her odd behavior?

“I don't want to hurt any pony, and it's just these feelings within me are strange. I simply don't know to be honest what I am or who.”

Applejack approached her cautiously. She wrapped a forehoof around the yellow pegasus. “It's obvious who you are, you've always been our friend. And nothing will ever change that. If there's something wrong, maybe we can fix it.”

“No magic!” spoke Fluttershy, quickly covering her lips with her hooves, her head kept tilted towards the ground. “Sorry, I didn't mean to sound upset, it's just that magic sorta caused this whole mess. I'd rather figure this out on my own.”

“Okay...no magic. We know you’ve been through a lot Fluttershy. That’s all the more reason we want to help you.” replied Twilight, extending a forehoof towards her.

Fluttershy sighed, ears drooping a bit, whimpering. “But...what if I end up hurting some pony again. I’d never be able to forgive myself.”

“It wasn’t your fault. I was the one that messed up. Let’s work together. Okay?” smiled Twilight, nuzzling against her.

“Um...okay. But I don’t know what’s happening to me. All I know is when I look at Applejack, something stirs within me. It’s such a strange feeling. Nothing like anything I’ve ever felt before.” Fluttershy explained.

“Sugarcube, it’s okay. Just take your time. We’re here for you.” smiled Applejack going up and sitting down on her haunches beside Fluttershy.

The three gathered together, all of them simply admiring the sanctuary that wouldn’t have been possible if not for Fluttershy. The bats swirled around the trees, making little cute bat noises, causing Fluttershy’s ears to itch.

Fluttershy took a deep breath in before finally, she managed to speak. “I think I want to do things to Applejack. When I look at her I feel like I’m starving for a taste.”

“A taste? Oh my…” replied Twilight, a deep blush spreading across her cheeks. She gestured Applejack closer with a forehoof.

“Fluttershy, I hate to ask, but could you be more clear?” questioned Applejack, eyes darting back and forth, a drop of sweat running down her face.

“When I look at you, especially your flank where the apples are and… I want to bite into them, to taste you. To feel you and caress you in ways I’d never imagine doing to any pony.”

“Seems the book is right about the lust part.... Do you think it affects the vampire bats?” questioned Twilight, reading over the notes from her book.

“I don’t want to hurt any pony, especially not Applejack. I’ve been fighting it for a few days actually. This strange urge inside of me.” explained Fluttershy as she nervously twiddled her hooves together, a blush plain on her cheeks.

Twilight held a forehoof against her chin. There was no real methods on what to do about the problem at hoof. She needed to do more research.

“You girls just hold on, I’m going to go do more research!” spoke Twilight, hurrying off back towards her castle.

After Twilight was gone, Fluttershy looked towards Applejack, at first that same feeling of lust was starting to overwhelm her, licking her chops at merely looking at her flank. She quickly shook that thought out of her head. How do I really feel about Applejack? She's always been such a good friend to me, but do I love her or is this haze just controlling me?

“Sugarcube, is everything alright?” questioned Applejack, raising her eyebrow a bit, in concern for her dear friend. This has to be hard on her...if only she'd tell me.

Fluttershy glanced back and forth, and then looked down again, digging her hoof into the dirt. She stomped her hoof and raised her head up to look Applejack right in the eyes.

“No! Everything is not alright! I don't know what's wrong with me. Part of me wants you, but the other part doesn't want to ruin our friendship.” admitted Fluttershy meekly, her yellow face covered with a soft pink blush that matched her soft pink locks.

“Wants me? Fluttershy, I reckon I don't quite understand what ya mean.” replied Applejack softly, trying to address this whole situation in a calm and mature tone. Though what did this have to do with Flutterbat?

Fluttershy hesitated, fidgeting her forehoof into the dirt beneath her. These feelings, how was she supposed to explain them? To get her friend to understand her most inner fears? She didn't want to cause any trouble. Fluttershy tilted her head to the side, her mane falling over one side of her eyes.

“Um...it's... It's just...I think Flutterbat is still a part of me, and she wants to eat you.”

“Eat me? Wait...hold up Sugarcube. When you say eat do you mean like we eat hay?”

“No...not like that at all. It's more intimate.” replied Fluttershy softly, further averting her gaze from her friend. How could she possibly face her after this? What would she say? Her muzzled drifted downwards, eyes focusing on the dirt beneath her hooves. Her heart sped rapidly when she was with her, but how did she feel about her?

Applejack furrowed her brow, scratching at her golden mane with her front left forehoof, struggling a bit. A slight sweatdrop running down her cheek. She took a deep breath, sighed, and began to reassure her dearest friend.

“Listen, Fluttershy I realize you may not have really noticed it, or maybe I didn't show it enough, but I do care for you. More than I might've wanted to admit. I didn't want you to get the wrong idea either. But...I don't want Flutterbat to consume you, it's Fluttershy that I love.”

“Oh...you really mean that?” replied Fluttershy, nervously managing to look Applejack right in the eyes.

“Of course I do. I'm the element of Honesty after all.” chuckled Applejack, making a slight jab at her element. Though it wasn't that she couldn't lie, just she preferred telling the truth, but she had learned early on in life how bad lying was.

“What if Flutterbat comes back, what then?” questioned Fluttershy, looking at Applejack with sincere concern in her eyes.

“We'll deal with that as it comes. Now, how are those bats doing?” questioned Applejack, putting a hoof around her dearest friend and sitting down beside her. She sat down on her haunches and admired the sanctuary. Sure, things were likely to change from here, but at least now she had an idea of how to help her friend.

Fluttershy couldn't help but whimper a bit. She bit her lip, covering her face in her hooves. “What if I can't change back, what if I stay Flutterbat?” Fluttershy asked as she kept her head down, staring at the ground, senses of shame welling up in her heart. What is wrong with me?

“Fluttershy...whatever happens, we'll get through this together. Listen to me, you don't have to fight this alone. After all, isn't that what friends are for?” questioned Applejack, lightly pushing her pink mane out of her eyes, and leaning in to kiss her on the forehead.

Fluttershy blushed a bit, smiling softly, she leaned up towards Applejack's lips. She pressed her lips against hers and began to softly brush her muzzle against hers.

Applejack was a bit surprised to see Fluttershy making the first move, but then noticed a slight difference in her appearance. She could see her ears, they weren't pony ears..., and she could feel fangs grazing at her upper lip, begging for entrance. Applejack pulled away ever so slightly. She had to be sure it was Fluttershy still in control, otherwise, she couldn't consent to this. She wouldn’t consent to Flutterbat taking her friend from her.

“Fluttershy...is that still you?” questioned Applejack, a genuine look of concern spreading across her face. A slight drop of sweat running down her cheeks, as she took a deep gulp. Closing her eyes for a brief second, hoping for the best outcome.

“Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?” replied Fluttershy, not fully realizing what had happened just yet, then she felt her fang graze her bottom lip, and she backed off a bit.

“Oh dear...”

Applejack pulled Fluttershy back towards her into a strong embrace, holding her dearest friend close, her chin resting atop her head. She kissed the top of Fluttershy's mane softly, whispering.

“It's okay...as long as it's you and not some sex-crazed bat pony, I want this too.” she admitted, her own blush deepening a bit. “We'd best take this inside though. Who knows who might be watching us.”

Fluttershy blushed even more upon hearing that. She couldn't help but glance around to see if Big Mac or even Apple Bloom were nearby. Or Granny Smith for that matter. It might be really awkward to explain this whole situation to them.

“Okay...where then?” asked Fluttershy with a whimper. Her ears drooping a bit, as she spoke. Fluttershy kept her eyes focused on Applejack’s to show her she wasn’t afraid, that she was in control and could keep this other side from taking her over for good.

“I reckon the barn might be a good place, lots of hay there to surround us.” replied Applejack, boldly picking Fluttershy up onto her four hooves, taking her by the hoof and leading her towards the barn. Things were about to get interesting. She wasn't quite sure what to think of this whole ordeal, but at the very least it seemed like her friend was herself, which reassured her all the more.

Fluttershy trotted into the barn, a soft pink blush spreading across her cheeks, as she dared to nuzzle against her friend.

“I have to know Applejack, do you love me?” questioned Fluttershy, her blue eyes widening, lip pouting a bit, ears drooped ever so slightly, nervous fidgeting on her hooves.

Author's Note

Hello every pony. I'm sure some of you thought this story was dead, and I admit after losing my notes for this story when I lost my old laptop, it was hard to remember exactly what I had planned, but thanks to encouragement from my editor Skyward Sword, and knowing I couldn't let this story die, chapter 3 is finally here. I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know what you might think will happen now! <3

Chapter: Apple of her eye

Applejack stuttered. Oh course I love her, but how do I tell her that, so she’ll believe me? Her eyes darted back and forth, as she felt a drop of sweat running down her face. Knowing full well she couldn't not answer, she spoke with sincere honesty.

“Oh course I love you, Fluttershy. I’ve always cared for you. I guess I just ain’t been very good at showing it.” retorted Applejack.

Applejack leaned in, Fluttershy laying on her back in the pile of hay. Applejack paused, staring down at Fluttershy, even though she was Flutterbat, her appearance was captivating, and she found herself starring, unable to do much. Shifting a bit, she tussled them around so that Fluttershy was on top.

“What are you doing?!?” Fluttershy questioned, stuttering. She didn’t want to be on top, what if she lost control and ended up hurting her?

Applejack leaned upwards her muzzle grazing against Fluttershy’s ever so slightly, “Don’t be nervous Sugarcube. I’m not afraid, and I’ll be right here with you.”

“But Applejack…” Fluttershy pouted. She whimpered, biting her bottom lip, her ears drooping a bit.

Applejack reached down, and caressed the side of her muzzle right against hers, licking at her bat like ears, and whispering. She spoke gently, wanting to reassure her everything would be okay.

“Ssshhh...I know I ain’t been very forthright with you, and that ain’t no one’s fault but my own. But I want this. I’ve always wanted to be with ya, I just didn’t want it to be forced. I just couldn’t do that to ya.”

“If you’re sure…” Fluttershy managed, meekly.

“I’ve never been more sure than I am right now.” Applejack smiled, before shifting them so Fluttershy on top of her in the hay. It was getting late, the sun had set, and she couldn’t help admiring how Fluttershy looked in the moonlight.

Fluttershy stuttered, gasping for breath, panting. The rush going through her. Her heart pounded a mile a minute. She licked her chops and stared down at Applejack. It was like an all you can eat buffet laid out before her, and it was very hard not to let Flutterbat get the better of her. But she swore to be herself. I can do this. She bit her bottom lip, before taking a deep breath.

“Relax, Sugarcube.” Applejack hesitated, feeling the sweat running down her brow, she took a deep gulp, heart pounding.

She felt it, the moment Fluttershy sank her fangs down onto her bare neck, her whole body shuddered, trembling from the sudden sensations flowing through her.

Fluttershy closed her eyes, and tasted Applejack. She tried to ensure there was as little pain as possible, but her mark was clearly imprinted upon Applejack’s fur. Fluttershy blushed slightly, licking her chops eagerly. She had just gotten a taste, but she craved more. Drool running down her lips, as she savored the taste of Applejack. Applejack moved slightly under Fluttershy shifting just a tad, to allow her hindlegs to spread. She felt the excitement rushing through her, a surge that tingled every single one of her nerves. And left her wanting more of Fltutershy’s tongue on her, and more…

Fluttershy licked the mark, kissing her bare neck, and then nibbling on Applejack’s ear affectionately, biting it ever so slightly. Just enough to graze against her inner fur. Fluttershy kissed the mark, before shifting.

Fluttershy shifted her weight on top of Applejack, leaning her muzzle in, parting her lips fully, using her hooves to caress the sides of her face as she leaned in to kiss her lips deeply, biting the bottom lip ever so slightly, letting out a playful hiss.

Applejack blushed slightly, as she leaned into the kiss, her tongue meeting Fluttershy’s, and dancing alongside of hers. Allowing Fluttershy to control how passionate and how deep and drugging their kiss was. It felt like the kiss lasted for several minutes, but when Fluttershy pulled away, Applejack could feel her inner folds tingling. . She blushed more deeply, as deep red as a fresh apple.

Fluttershy leaned down once more this time placing light soft tender kisses along Applejack’s chest fluff, inhaling her scent, and feeling her wings preening with excitement. Fluttershy heard Applejack gasping, even moaning in delight. Fluttershy licked her lips before leaning down again to kiss Applejack with a furious passion. Each kiss grew deeper and more passionate, as her forehooves began trailing along her neck, down to her shoulder blades, and down her forelimbs, as she let the kiss linge a bit longer before moving onwards.

Fluttershy kissed down Applejack’s chest, and placed butterfly kisses all over her belly, before teasingly licking at her inner thighs, and around the lovely lips, before parting them with her forehoof, and licking at her clit, biting ever so slightly, wanting to taste Applejack in a different way. A much more intimately. Fluttershy began to suckle on her clit eagerly, savoring the taste of her lover.

Applejack moaned, and bucked her hips slightly, feeling the rush surging through her entire body. Applejack leaned her head back, exposing her neck even more to Fluttershy. Leaving her so vulnerable to her touch. To her fangs.

“Fluttershy...Oh yes you’re doing so good.” whispered Applejack, her voice heavy and musky. She closed her eyes. She moved her tail out of the way allowing Fluttershy access to her naughty bits.

Fluttershy swirled her tongue all around Applejack’s pussy lips before diving her muzzle in, she suckled on her apple’s juiciest core. Fluttershy went deep into her trembling lips, her tongue lunging in and out with passion and lust, biting her fangs into her sensitive skin with just enough force to make Applejack gasp, but not harm her lover with her fangs. Fluttershy’s eyes flickered from their normal hue to a deep dark red. Her hunger grew as she suckled Applejack’s juices, licking her lips as she could feel how she bucked in response.

Applejack bucked as she tilted her head back, her eyelids closed as she panted heavily.

“Oh, right there, Sugarcube...” she moaned desperately. She needed this, they both needed this. It just felt right. She worried about Fluttershy losing control, but she wasn’t sure she could keep composed with how good she was making her feel. Oh buck me sideways, Flutters is darn good at this.

Fluttershy perked up at hearing Applejack’s moans and feeling how she shivered in delight. She continued rolling her tongue in and out of her pussy lips, before diving in with her lips and suckling on her lover’s core. Fluttershy could feel her quivering beneath her as she sucked. Just loving the feeling of eating her Applejack out in the most intimate of ways.

Applejack felt her inner thighs getting soaked with her own wetness, and the saliva from Fluttershy’s tongue as it worked in and out of her netters. Applejack’s hind legs bucked up against her lover as her Fluttershy’s face was still buried between her legs. Applejack suddenly felt hot. The heat spreading all throughout her entire body. Groaning, and drooling from her lips, she panted heavily. Panting for breath, she took a few moments to speak up, reaching up to pet Fluttershy. Let her know she was here and that she always would be.

“Ack. Good girl…” she reached a forehoof down to stroke Fluttershy’s pink mane, letting her know she was valued, treasured, but most of all cherished.

Fluttershy swirled her tongue faster, diving deeper into the haze of lust, suckling on Applejack’s pussy more as she suddenly felt her bucking and then tasted her first sign of Applejack’s cum. She lapped it up eagerly, seeing how it made Applejack squirm beneath her. She smirked a mischievous grin as she moved up from down below and began kissing up her belly, to her torso, and kissing her lips, before stroking her blonde mane, and brushing her mane to the side.

“Did I do good?” questioned Fluttershy, her eyes red, her ears batty, and fangs showing through her smirk.

Applejack paused as she stared up at Fluttershy. She went ghost white for a moment feeling she had lost her friend to the lust, but she noticed something. Fluttershy was giggling. She blinked.

“Oh I didn’t mean to scare you. It’s still me.” she smiled nuzzling her affectionately.

Applejack sighed heavily, and wiped her brow from her face. “Phew, you really gave me a scare there Sugarcube.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” blushed Fluttershy, trying to hide her face behind her mane, Applejack reached to grab her and pull her into a tight embrace, kissing her all over.

“Hey now, none of that. I love you Sugarcube.”

“You too?” she asked, eeping happily, tail wagging like a puppy.

“Of course. I just didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want it to ruin our friendship, but I reckon we can be friends and lovers.”

“Of course we can.” smiled Fluttershy, nuzzling her more, as she heard a noise behind her. She turned her head in the direction of the sound, noticing a figure in the doorway, causing her cheeks to darken further.

“What in the hay is going on here!?!” spoke Twilight, flustered as she stared at Applejack and Fluttershy looking intimately snuggled up in the hay together. She blinked and shook her head. Then noticed Fluttershy’s ears.

“Applejack! Be careful she might be dangerous.” warned Twilight digging a forehoof into the ground ears lowered letting out a slight murmur of a growl.

Applejack stood to all fours, holding Fluttershy close, nuzzling her. “Twilight it’s fine. She’s still the Fluttershy we know and love, she just looks different.” she explained.

Twilight blinked, shifted her stance, coughing against her forehoof blushing slightly, batting her eyelashes, ears drooped to the sides of her face.

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have assumed. But...I found more information on vampire bats if you still need it.” she spoke gently as she fidgeted in place, gently tapping her forehoof into the ground.

“It’s okay. You didn’t know. Even I didn’t know if I’d be okay. I was terrified, and horrified that if I let this side out, I’d lose myself in the process.”

“I knew you had it in ya. You’ve always been strong and full of spirit, Sugarcube.” Applejack retorted, leaning into giving her yet another kiss.

Fluttershy eeped in response, quickly returning the kiss, flush deepening as she tried to bury her face in her mane.

Twilight couldn’t help but smile seeing the two together. “Seems like you two don’t really need me. I hope I am not interrupting.” she blushed deeper, starting to back up.

“Aw, don’t leave Twilight.” spoke Fluttershy, immediately trotting towards her.

“Yeah, I reckon we’re both rather hungry after all this...so I’ll get something cooking.” offered Applejack, as she petted the top of Fluttershy’s mane and went to the main part of her barn house to work on a meal for the three of them.

Fluttershy looked towards Twilight and blushed darkly as she spoke.

“I wouldn’t mind seeing those notes on vampires and how they react to lust...but don’t tell Applejack. I really don’t want her to worry.”

“Don’t worry your secret's safe with me. Now I don’t know about you, but all this research has made me hungry. I think we should go join Applejack.”

Fluttershy and Twilight then trotted together to join Applejack for supper, the sun setting behind them. To Twilight it felt like it was the end of their problem with Flutterbat and they could just enjoy the magic of friendship together. With a happy smile she walked in to join her friends.

Applejack had made them a delicious supper, the three friends were all able to laugh and giggle about the whole events that had led up to this day. Fluttershy couldn't help but smirk as she giggled along with them, and embraced both her friends tightly. Everything would be fine.

For Fluttershy, the feeling was different, this didn’t feel like the ending, but the beginning of something wonderful.

Chapter 1: A strange feeling(Edited version.)

“It's good to have the old you back,” congratulated Twilight Sparkle with a smile, which Fluttershy returned.“Oh yes, I do hope I didn't hurt anypony...” She still hadn’t forgiven herself. ‘I don’t know what I would do if I had, she thought as she bit at her hoof worriedly and stared at the ground in order to avoid Twilight’s eyes.

Applejack took this opportunity to join them, holding her hat to her chest. “I'm awfully sorry about not listening to you before, Fluttershy,” began Applejack thinking how badly she had messed things up. This whole problem had been her own fault. With the sanctuary for the bats finished, Applejack hoped she could go back to apple bucking again without worry.

“It's okay, Applejack. I'm just happy the bats have a place to stay,” replied Fluttershy as she made a quick glance over to the vampire bats, who seemed to Fluttershy to be waving at her. Even the little baby flew over in her direction to give her a small hug on her nose before returning to his parents.

Fluttershy was glad this was all over now. Maybe this meant that things could go back to normal again. She had learned a valuable lesson though. No matter how hard it was, she had to stand up for what was right, even if her friends hadn't agreed with her at first. Sometimes you just had to be brave despite what others might think, especially when it came to the wellbeing of an animal.

Happy with how things had turned out, Fluttershy said goodbye to her friends as she walked away. With the sun still up in the sky, Fluttershy decided to head into town to get a few carrots for Angel. He was quite the glutton, devouring his carrots faster and faster each day. It was a wonder how she was able to save some of them for even a few days. She walked over to Golden Harvest's stand. Of course, Golden didn’t sell carrots only. She had quite the assortment, everything from leeks to apples and even grapes.

“Good afternoon, Golden, how are you today? Could you give me Two bags of carrots please?” Asked Fluttershy, a tiny smile on her face as she put six bits up to pay for the carrots.
Golden Harvest smiled back towards Fluttershy. “Sure thing, Fluttershy. It's good to see you, how have you been?” questioned Golden Harvest as she took the bags and placed them in front of the pegasus.

“Oh, well... I've certainly had better days, but I suppose it wasn't that bad,” she replied softly. Fluttershy did hope that the bats would be happy now. Perhaps in a day or two she'd go and check how things were going, just to be safe. After all, it was for the best. With such a large group of vampire bats around, and with Applejack's hate for them, she couldn't help but feel worry and nervousness. She took a deep breath as she accepted the two bags of carrots and placed them into her saddlebag before flinging it on her back.

“It's such a lovely day, isn't it?” Golden Harvest began. “It's been awhile since we had such a beautiful day. I do hope they aren't calling for rain again. It'd be nice to have some nice weather to enjoy, don't you think?” She questioned as she looked at the yellow mare.

“Oh, of course. That would be wonderful,” replied Fluttershy, taking a moment to look up at the sky, but quickly looked back down. She really should get going, she could only imagine how upset Angel would be if he ran out of carrots before she returned.

“Excuse me Golden, but I really need to get going. My animals are waiting for me,” she spoke, trying to remain polite. Fluttershy walked towards her home.

As she walked, Fluttershy couldn’t help but imagine how many apples she had ruined for Applejack when she had been... in her other state. She quickly shook the thought out of her head. No! She wasn't going to dwell in the past. what was done was done. Applejack still had plenty of trees for Applebuck season. Everything would be fine....or at least she hoped.’There’s no use in worrying about those things now. I do hope that Applejack still has more than enough apples for the season. Right now, I can only hope for the best… Maybe offer to help if she needs it,’ She thought, still feeling quite worried. Fluttershy hurried her pace to get back to the cottage. As soon as she entered her house, Angel showed up, standing in the middle of the room and tapping his foot on the floor. His behavior said it all, with his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.

“Mmk!” he spoke holding out a paw towards his owner.

Fluttershy hurried over towards Angel, getting a carrot out of her bag. “Here you go Angel, your favorite,” she smiled softly.
Angel accepted the carrot, nibbling it until all that was left was the stem, and then he ate that. He held out his paw for more, thumping his foot on the table, arms crossed with a scowl.

Fluttershy gave him another carrot. She sure hoped that Angel wouldn't go through a bag of carrots in one day. She didn't have a whole lot of extra bits to spend this month. She certainly couldn't afford to constantly keep going out to buy more carrots, but it's all Angel would eat nowadays. She didn't know why he was so fussy at times. She loved him nonetheless, she loved all her animals. Suddenly she felt Harry wrap his paws around her and lift her up into a big hug.

“Oh it's good to see you're feeling better Harry,” smiled Fluttershy, as she patted his fur softly, before he returned her to the floor. It was good to be home. She could finally relax and stop worrying about the bad things that had happened.

Applejack couldn't help but sigh, as she looked towards the decayed apple trees. She knew she was bound to lose out on some of the harvest due to the bats. Fluttershy had been right, and it was wrong of them to force her to do the stare, when they should have just listened to her in the first place. She had been angry...irritated with those darn vampire fruit bats, and she had lost all sense of herself. She know realized that she had been wrong, and had apologized to Fluttershy. Of course Fluttershy was more than willing to forgive her, but Applejack couldn't help but wonder what might happen.

It seemed like Flutterbat was gone, but could Fluttershy lose herself again? She thought about asking Twilight about it, she'd know this sort of stuff. It was all past her, but for now, she was just going to focus on her farm. It was Applebuck season and she wasn't going to let her worrying get the better of her. Everything would be fine.

Fluttershy woke up early the next morning, as she could see the morning sun, rising in the distance. It was always so beautiful to see Celestia rise the sun. She yawned, tiredly, as she hopped up out of her bed, and headed downstairs. Of course Angel was one of the first ones to greet her. He looked towards her, and for once it seemed he wasn't pestering her for carrots, but rather asking her for apple pie, as he held up a recipe book with a picture of the pie in it. Angel pointed towards it, speaking to her that he wanted it, and he wanted it now.

“Alright, Angel. I'll need to go to the farm anyways, so I'll get you a pie, alright?” she smiled towards him. Reluctantly, Angel seemed to agree, as long as he got his pie, he wouldn't fuss.

Fluttershy knew she should get something to eat before she left though, as she could hear her stomach stirring with hunger. “Oh may, seems I'm hungry too.” she chuckled, as she held her hoof towards her lips. Angel didn't find it funny though, and was beginning to push her towards the door.

“Angel!” she demanded with a firm tone. “I will get you a pie, but you have to be patient.” explained Fluttershy, calmly. She knew he was just hungry, she shouldn't be too harsh on him, besides she could eat later. She hurried to grab her knapsack as she petted his head softly, before waving as she headed off towards Apple Acres.

It was quite the view outside of her cottage, birds flew by her head, chirping a happy tune, and butterflies flying by in a cluster. So many animals, so many wonders, she loved her animals, more than anything. She would always put them first. She could eat when she got back, though as she came up to the apple orchard, she felt something different.

A hunger for apples, as she felt a slight twinge in her eyes and she licked her lips as she stared towards Applejack's cutie mark. A strange sensation came over her. She shook her head quickly. What? What was that strange feeling? She wasn't sure, but she had promised Angel, she'd get him an apple pie, besides she was probably just a bit more hungry than she thought. There was certainly no way Flutterbat could return right? Oh...she couldn't help but to worry. Though she blinked, as it was Applejack that approached her.

“Howdy there, Sugarcube, I reckon you came by to check on the bats? They're doing mighty fine so far. I mean it's only been a day, I've already gotten quite a good harvest this morning.” she smiled as she pointed over towards many baskets full of apples, she wasn't one to waste time.

She worked too hard sometimes though. Fluttershy hoped she wouldn’t work herself nearly to exhaustion, like she had the one year.

“Oh yes, I did. Could you make a pie for Angel though? He really wants to try out this recipe.” spoke Fluttershy, holding the book up for Applejack to see.

Applejack glanced over the recipe, didn't seem that complicated, but with her chores, she might not be able to get to it right away. “I reckon I should easily be able to do that, when do you need it by?” she asked kindly, as she took the book from Fluttershy and put it in her knapsack that was sitting next to one of the many baskets of Apples.

“Um...today? If....possible...I don't mean to be a burden.” replied Fluttershy nervously. Though she couldn't help but notice how sexy Applejack looked all sweaty, even after only an hour or so of work. Why was she looking at her like that? Oh dear...there had to be a side effect of when she was Flutterbat. Yes, that must be it. She couldn't help but wonder, how her lips would feel against hers, and Fluttershy began to imagine the two of them, then she shook her head. No, she couldn't think like that.

Applejack was her friend...there was no way she was going to let this delusion get to her, but what if it wasn't a delusion? What if Flutterbat was still a part of her? That would be worse than just her seeing her friend in a different light, but neither one was easy for her to accept. She took a deep breath. She had to say something....but how could she? She didn't want her to see her any differently, and with how Applejack had felt about the bats before, she could only imagine, what she'd feel if Flutterbat returned.

“Sugarcube? Are you feeling quite alright? You're awfully quiet today, even more than usual. You know you can always talk to me about anything.” questioned Applejack.

“I'm fine...” replied Fluttershy though with her this close to her, it was hard not to feel this strange sensation trying to control her emotions. She wasn’t about to let it overpower her. She knew she wasn’t strong like Rainbow Dash, or like Applejack but she had to try..

What was wrong with her? She had to keep it together. “Um...if you could just get me that pie today, that would be wonderful..but um...it's no rush.”

“No worries, Fluttershy, I'll be sure you get your pie.” replied Applejack softly. Applejack couldn't help but worry about her. She seemed a bit tense, and for her that was somewhat normal, but not like this. She was going to get to the bottom of this, one way of the other. She turned around to head over towards an apple tree, and as she turned, Fluttershy had a good view of her backside.

It was so hard not to look, her tail hid most of it, but Fluttershy wanted to see it, no she had to get a view of that moist....soft...what was she thinking? She shook her head, fighting with herself. It was like this desire for Applejack was consuming her. She was her friend. She couldn't just pounce on her, that wouldn't be right. Then she turned to watch Applejack buck one of the many trees in Apple orchard and just the form, and the grace in how she did it, was so....steamy.

“No..I won’t!” she shouted out loud.

Applejack immediately made her way up towards Fluttershy. “Sugarcube, listen I know it can be hard telling others, how you feel. For the love of all things apple, what’s the matter?” she questioned towards her friend. She didn’t want to pressure her, but she also didn’t want to see her friend so lost. It was like she wasn’t quite right. She must have something bothering her, and she knew it had to be more than just Angel wanting a pie. There was more to this story, that she didn’t know. She reckoned she’d have to get it out of her.

Fluttershy blinked as she looked back at Applejack. She could tell Applejack was worried. What was she supposed to say? Sure...she could say what she thought was going on, but what if that made her friend hate her? Oh she didn’t want that to happen. What should she do? All the while, she felt that other side of her...Flutterbat wanting to take the reins. No….I won’t. You don’t control me. She smiled towards Applejack.

“Would you like some help? Perhaps I could get started on the recipe for Angel to save you time.” she suggested. Anything to keep her mind off Applejack and the thoughts that kept coming into her mind. They were such lewd thoughts, she would never think this way. It had to be Flutterbat, what other explanation was there? Twilight would probably know, but Fluttershy wasn’t Twilight and she didn’t want to tell anyone in fear of losing them forever..

“Well, if you want to do that, sure I wouldn’t mind. Fluttershy are you sure there isn’t anything you wanted to tell me?” questioned Applejack.

Oh… What was she going to do now? She stumbled, and in that moment...she lost all sense of herself. She tackled Applejack against the base of the tree, Applejack's back to the tree, with Fluttershy on top of her.

Applejack, looked a bit surprised as she glanced up towards Fluttershy, and was wondering just what was going on, but what she saw...she hoped it wasn't real. For a split second her friend looked just like Flutterbat...but she shook her head looking again to see that it was still Fluttershy. Relieved and confused, she was going to find out just what was going on here, because it was clear, that all was not as it should be. She was going to get to the bottom of this.

Fluttershy was on top of Applejack, she couldn't believe it. She had Applejack right where she wanted her, but she hesitated to do anything. She couldn't she wouldn't. She had to keep herself under control. Of course she got up off of Applejack, after composing herself. She couldn't believe she had actually done that. Oh dear...now she was in trouble. She could tell that Applejack wasn't happy with her, by the horrified look she had on her face. She just hoped it didn't mean the end of their friendship.

Surely, she could explain things to Applejack, but what if she didn't believe her? What if she thought she was a terrible person? Oh dear...though she felt that strange sensation come over her again, and it was like she didn't even know who she was anymore...was she Fluttershy or Flutterbat? She only hoped that it was the latter. She didn't want to hurt anyone, especially not one of her friends, but yet she couldn't deny that she wanted her in a different more sexual way as well, and she couldn't help but wonder if it was Flutterbat that wanted the apple, and not just any apple but Applejack...Her breathing felt heavy as she gasped for a breath of air, a dash of sweat running down her face, her heart thumping. Her eyes widened, afraid of what she might become.
