Terror of the Flutterbatby Discord The NarratorChaptersCalmFearTerrorPanicFinaleCalmOn a stormy night, a group of friends were trapped in Canterlot High. They needed to find a way out before... _______________________________________ "Not the time for spooky stories, Pinkie!" said Rainbow. "Oh, ok! Sorry!" answered Pinkie Pie. She had Sunset's videocamera on her hands, and was trying to tell a story until Rainbow stopped her. "Pinkie, I'll take the camera for recording how we prepare the party, if you don't mind." said Sunset. "Oh, no problem! There you go!" Pinkie gave Sunset the camera and bounced one or two times before continuing the decorations. The funniest thing was that Pinkie's story was similar to the reality. She and her friends were inside Canterlot High's gym, doing some decorations because a birthday would be celebrated the next morning. Outside, the silence if the night was covered by a storm. It was raining so much. "Ugh... Remind me why we have to celebrate Trixie's birthday." said Rainbow, hanging some streamers on the walls. She didn't exactly have a good friendship with Trixie. "Well, Ah think she just wants ta be happy on her day." said Applejack, carrying some boxes of apples so Pinkie could use them for making desserts for the party. Meanwhile, Rarity was helping Twilight and Sunset with the banners. She decided to put some diamonds on them. "I believe Trixie is going to love those banners. They look marvelous!" she said. Pinkie helped Applejack and Fluttershy with putting around some desks for everything in the party. "Are you ok, Fluttershy? You seem a little bit off..." said Rainbow. The others looked at their yellow friend. "Oh? Yes... I'm just... feeling tired..." said Fluttershy. "Ya can rest if ya want, sugarcube. We won't tell ya ta do more things." said Applejack. "Ok... I think I'll be... sitting here..." Fluttershy stopped working and sat on a chair to relax a bit. Some minutes later, Fluttershy got up and walked to the gym's doors. "I'm going to the bathroom, just for five minutes... if you don't mind..." she said, opening the doors. "Don't forget the way back here!" said Pinkie. "I won't..." said Fluttershy, with a more stern tone. Then, she left the gym. At that moment, everyone had the same question: what was happening with Fluttershy? "She looked so strange... Ah wonder what is makin' her to feel like that." said Applejack. "Well, we'll just wait until she comes back and ask her about it." said Twilight. _______________________________________ Fourteen minutes later... Sunset's camera was still recording the decoration process, and Fluttershy hadn't returned yet. "Hmmm... Didn't Fluttershy say she was going to be out just for five minutes?" said Sunset, looking at the time recorded. "Well, I was right after all! I knew she would forget the way back!" said Pinkie, proud of herself. "Still, that is not normal... I think someone should go and look for her." said Twilight. "I will!" Pinkie went to the doors, but Sunset told her to wait a second. "Do you want the camera? Maybe you can record whatever goes out there." "Nah, I have my own camera! Look!" and Pinkie showed a small camera hanging by her ear. "This one will be good if I have to run or something!" "Oh, I think you can connect it to Sunset's!" noted Twilight, and she tried doing it. Finally, whatever Pinkie recorded with her own camera, a small window in Sunset's would show it. And her voice would be also heard. "Well then, you may go now." said Rarity, opening the doors and closing them back as Pinkie passed by. _______________________________________ Inside the empty halls of Canterlot High School, the storm outside felt even stronger. It made a couple of lights flicker. But Pinkie was feeling too confident to worry about a storm. "Ok, girls. I'm going directly to the bathroom. I guess Fluttershy is still there." she said. "Sure thing, Pinkie. We are watching." Sunset's voice was heard. After walking for a minute, she entered the bathroom. The lights were flickering, and there was no sign of Fluttershy anywhere. "Oh, she is not here! Where did she go?" said Pinkie. "Wait, Pinkie. What happened to the mirror?" said Rainbow. Pinkie looked up and focused her camera on the mirror. Eventually, it was broken. "Wow, did Fluttershy actually did this?" asked Pinkie. "Maybe the storm made her feel so nervous." said Rarity. "Still, I don't understand why didn't she come back here..." Suddenly, Pinkie heard a sound somewhere. "I think that came from the cafeteria. I'm going to investigate there." she said. "Be careful, Pinkie." said Twilight. On her way to the cafeteria, Pinkie heard her friends' voices on her camera. They were discussing about the recent discoveries: the mirror, Fluttershy not being there... And those things made them feel so bad for her yellow friend. While thinking about it, Pinkie arrived to the cafeteria's half-opened doors. More sounds came from inside. "Girls, I think Fluttershy is here. Maybe she felt hungry and came here." said Pinkie. "Now that's just ridiculous. Why would she do that when Ah have all those boxes of apples here?" asked Applejack, obviously confused about that. "I don't know. Maybe she wanted another thing?" said Pinkie. "Anyways, I'm entering there." Just as she entered, she lost the communication with her friends. "Well, I guess that was going to happen anyways." said Pinkie, sighing. Inside the cafeteria, things were different. Some tables and chairs were moved apart, and one or two glasses laid broken on the ground. Pinkie discovered Fluttershy inside the kitchen, most likely looking for anything to eat. "There you are, Fluttershy! I knew I was right! But if you were hungry, you should have come back to the gym!" said Pinkie. However, when Fluttershy stopped and looked at Pinkie, the party girl instantly regretted calling her... She would never forget those red eyes... FearIn the gym... Sunset's videocamera was still recording "Ok, now Pinkie disappears? Seriously, what is happening out there?" Rainbow was beginning to fell angry. "Ah'm not sure. Of course, her camera disconnected when she entered the cafeteria, but Ah don't know anythin' else." said Applejack. "I have a question. Does Rarity really need her purse?" said Twilight. Rarity had left one minute after Pinkie did, saying that she needed to go to the music classroom for retrieving her purse. So, for the moment, three of them were outside. Rainbow just grunted in response. "Maybe we should-" That's all Sunset could say before the gym's doors were opened and Pinkie entered, closing them as fast as she could. She was breathing hard, sweating a lot, and her face told everyone that something was happening. "Pinkie? What is the problem? And where is Fluttershy?" asked Sunset, expecting an answer. "Flutt... Fluttershy... she is... she... I..." Pinkie tried to talk, but she was having problems to do it. "Pinkie, would you calm down? What is it?" Rainbow was losing her patience. But she felt nervous when Pinkie grabbed her. "Fluttershy is a vampire!!" The party girl shouted, while she started to cry. The others didn't know what to say. They were simply confused. That seemed like a classic joke for stormy nights. But being a joke, would Pinkie really get that extreme? She looked really scared. "Wait, the camera! Maybe it recorded anything!" Sunset touched some buttons on her videocamera to see whatever Pinkie's had been able to record. The rest of them, except for Pinkie, surrounded Sunset. While being a bit distorted, Pinkie's camera recorded some things inside the cafeteria. Moved tables and broken glasses could be seen. The audio didn't work, but they had no problem. Then, they saw the camera approaching the kitchen, and Fluttershy was inside. After some seconds in which they deduced Pinkie was talking, Fluttershy got up and looked at the camera. The distortions grew, but the last thing they saw was a pair of red eyes before Fluttershy performed a scream, which they didn't hear because of the audio issue. Pinkie's recording stopped there. Everyone were almost as scared as their pink friend was. She wasn't lying: Fluttershy had transformed into a vampire... _______________________________________ "Ok, this is bad. Really bad." Twilight was the first to speak. "Yeah! I mean, we have a real vampire lurking around the school!" said Rainbow. "We didn't hear the scream thanks ta the bad audio, but it must have been powerful enough ta traumatize Pinkie!" said Applejack, pointing at the party girl. "Worse enough, Rarity is still out. She hasn't returned yet." remarked Sunset. At that moment, all thoughts pointed at Rarity: Did she know about Fluttershy? Had she been able to hide anywhere? "Maybe I should go and look for her. She may still be inside the music classroom." said Sunset. "I'll help you, Sunset. Rainbow and Applejack, stay here. Block the doors when we get out." said Twilight. "What about the cameras? If Sunset's breaks, we won't know what happens." said Rainbow. Twilight thought about it for some seconds. "I think we can use some of those." Twilight went to her backpack and took out some small cameras for her, Rainbow and Applejack. Pinkie was in no conditions to hold another one, so the rest of them put their ones hanging from their ears. "Wish ya luck out there!" said Applejack. Sunset and Twilight nodded in response and opened the doors, leaving the gym while Applejack blocked them. _______________________________________ "Well, another friend to rescue, right?" asked Sunset. "Yeah... And the whole thing being Fluttershy as a vampire... I just don't understand how she's been transformed!" said Twilight, being really confused. "Kinda strange. But anyways, we have to help Rarity. If we knew about this before, we would have given her a camera." said Sunset. "Well, no need to worry about that right now. Let's just look for her." said Twilight, and both of them continued their way. When they arrived to the music classroom, its doors were half-opened, so they could see whatever was inside. "I'll look in. You may guard my back." said Sunset, approaching her face and her camera to the doors. "Sure thing. Tell me if you see something." said Twilight. "Did ya find Rarity, girls?" Applejack's voice was heard over Twilight's. "Not yet, but Sunset is looking inside the music classroom, so we will tell you." answered Twilight. "Ok, we are waitin'." Sunset could only see the instruments and other things in the class. Pointing her camera to the other side of it, she saw... Rarity? She was looking at the windows, but it seemed like she wasn't moving at all. Sunset looked at Twilight. "Rarity is inside the class, but she looks strange." "Do you think that Fluttershy got her?" asked a worried Twilight. "No way! We cannot have more vampires! That's crazy!" Rainbow's voice was heard on the cameras. "Let's hope it didn't happen." Sunset focused her eyes and the camera again on the half-opened doors. But this time, she didn't see Rarity. The music class looked as empty as before. "Um... Girls? I don't see Rarity." she said. "Are ya sure, sugarcube? Ya just told us she was there." said Applejack. "Well, I just can't s-" Sunset was interrupted when Rarity appeared in front of the doors, looking at her with two red eyes, screaming at the top of her lungs. TerrorAs fast as they could, Sunset and Twilight blocked the doors as a vampiric Rarity pounded on them while screaming. Sunset found it difficult as she was carrying her camera. "Girls? What was that!?" exclaimed Rainbow over the cameras. "It's Rarity! She is a vampire!" answered Sunset. "What!? So Fluttershy got her!?" exclaimed Applejack. "Speaking of Fluttershy..." said Twilight, pointing at something with a terrified look on her face. When Sunset followed her pointing finger, she felt the same and focused her camera. At the other end of the hallway, Fluttershy appeared, looking directly at them, as if trying to say something. "Twilight? I think we are gonna be her next meal if we just stand here..." said Sunset. "Hold on..." said Twilight, leaving Sunset with some seconds of confusion before Fluttershy screamed and started to run towards them. "A little more..." Fluttershy prepared to pounce on them. "Now! Move!" Twilight motioned Sunset to move away at the last second, causing Fluttershy to collapse with the music class' doors and fall on top of Rarity. Sunset blocked the doors again. "Run, Twilight! I'll find some place to hide!" Twilight nodded and got on her way, while Sunset ran inside another classroom while the vampires tore apart the blocked doors. They were even angrier... and hungry... _______________________________________ Inside the gym... "Two vampires now... Could this get even worse?" asked Rainbow. "And the doors getting broken... They have a lot of power now..." said Applejack. Pinkie, having got calm already, got up and walked to the gym's doors. "I need to see the halls once more..." She opened them and peeked out, and a lot of sounds came from everywhere. Besides, some broken doors could be seen. However, when Pinkie tried to peek out even more, she slipped, and the result was a loud thump on the floor. Applejack and Rainbow got out to help their pink friend get up. "Are ya ok, Pinkie? That was a bad fall!" said Applejack. Rainbow tried to say something, but a loud scream on the halls interrupted her. Our friends focused their cameras on the other end of the hallway and became almost pale, cause Rarity had escaped the blockage on the music classroom. And now she was right there, just watching. But then, another scream filled the air as Rarity ran towards them... _______________________________________ Meanwhile, Twilight had been able to get inside the library. She tried not to focus on the sounds heard in the halls, and blocked the library's doors with some chairs. "Ok, maybe there's something helpful on the books. There must be something, cause those doesn't look like normal vampires." said Twilight, and she started searching for information between books and books. When she had already seen some of them, she heard something hitting the doors. Uh oh, one of them was trying to enter! So she continued her task even faster, but she found the needed book in some seconds, so she opened it and started reading. The book explained a lot of things about legendary creatures, so the vampire's story obviously appeared in it. Reading, Twilight finally found something really interesting: apparently, there was another way to transform yourself into a vampire, and that way was a strange infection that some nocturnal animal could have. As Fluttershy loved animals, maybe she was with them one night, and one of them would have infected her. On the next page, she discovered another thing: some instructions for making a cure against the infection. "That's it! I just need to make this cure and use it on the vampires! And the Science Lab has everything I need!" said Twilight, grabbing the book. However, by the time she did that, a loud crash caught her attention: Fluttershy had broken the blockage and she was now in front of Twilight. "Fluttershy... Don't move, I'm warning you!" said Twilight. Fluttershy screamed and tried to attack Twilight, but our friend moved away and was able to hit her on the head with the book. The vampire fell unconscious on the floor. "Sorry, but I had to do it for my own safety." said Twilight, running to the Science Lab. _______________________________________ While all of that happened, Sunset was hiding inside a classroom. Her camera was still recording, so she could see what happened on others' cameras. She saw Twilight getting inside the library. "Heh, it's Twilight..." said Sunset, chuckling. But then, Applejack's camera caught her attention: she and Rainbow got out to help Pinkie because she fell, but then, hearing a scream, Sunset saw Rarity running to attack them. She knew they needed help, so she got up with a determined look on her face and got out of the classroom. When she arrived, with her camera focused, the gym's doors were open, Applejack and Rainbow were trying to get a screaming Rarity out, and Pinkie was sitting on one of the party tables, with a stern expression. Sunset left the camera on the floor so she could help her friends, and the three of them were able to get the vampire out of the gym and block the doors again. Then, Sunset retrieved her camera. "It seems that she is even stronger than me!" said Applejack. "Yeah, I guess the vampirism does those things!" said Rainbow. "Wait a second. How is Pinkie?" asked Sunset. "Well, she fell, and this floor is not like any garden with flowers and everythin'." said Applejack, chuckling. "Pinkie, do ya wanna tell Sunset how d-" she approached Pinkie, but her pink friend just said: "Go away... I'm bitten..." PanicTwilight was at the Science Lab, where she needed to get some cure for the terryfying infection in Canterlot High. The book provided a good list of instructions for the formula, so she looked for the ingredients to make it. When she had everything ready, she focused on the book's instructions. Everyone's safety depended on Twilight. If she didn't get a cure, Canterlot High School would be doomed. And the rest of the city would be the next... _______________________________________ Inside the gym, Sunset was still recording with her camera. Pinkie's weakened state appeared on it. "Whatever happens here, I'll record everything! People will know if we don't make it!" said Sunset. "Where's Twilight right now? Do ya see her, Sunset?" asked Applejack. She and Rainbow looked at the camera, and Twilight's own recording appeared. "She is at the Science Lab. Maybe she is trying to make a cure!" said Rainbow. "But she won't be able to do that if Rarity or Fluttershy catch her. We have to help her." said Sunset, reaching for the doors. "Wait, what about Pinkie? Someone has ta be here with her." said Applejack. "She is bitten, AJ! If she transforms, what will happen?" said Rainbow. "Forget that! She needs us for this moment!" said Applejack. "Don't be so stubborn, Applejack! We need you as a human!" exclaimed Sunset. "Ah'm not leaving her, darn it!!" exclaimed Applejack, before a screaming Pinkie pounced on her. They helped her by getting the new vampire away, but they were too late: the farm girl had got bitten. She got up and grabbed Pinkie with all the strength she had. "Go and help Twilight! Ah'll hold Pinkie!" Still scared, Rainbow and Sunset nodded in response before leaving the gym, and Applejack threw Pinkie to the floor so she could have a chance to block the doors. "At least Ah'll have it a little more difficult ta go after mah friends..." she said, chuckling before succumbing to the infection. The next thing she was thinking was leaving the gym as soon as possible... Because she felt hunger... _______________________________________ Twilight had finished the cure when Sunset and Rainbow got inside the lab. Their faces told her that things were worse. "Two more, Twilight! Applejack and Pinkie!" said Rainbow. "Oh no! How?" said Twilight. "Rarity was able to enter the gym! When I arrived, she had already bitten Pinkie! Then, she infected Applejack! Both of them are still at the gym!" said Sunset, only to hear something just one second later, on her camera. "What is it? Are the cameras still working?" asked Twilight, looking at Sunset's. Rainbow did the same. On the screen, there was one camera with a lot of static, but they recognized it as the one Applejack was using. They saw the farm girl breaking the gym's blockage and getting out. Looking at the end of the hallway, she ran through all of it, passed by Rarity, who was shaking uncontrollably, and reached the cafeteria. Once inside, she got directly to the kitchen and started looking for something to eat. Just at that moment, her camera stopped working. "Are you kidding me!? That's the only one camera we could have used for tracking Applejack! And now it's gone! Seriously?" exclaimed Rainbow, feeling angrier each passing second. "Well, at least the other three seem to be doing well." said Sunset, seeing that Twilight and Rainbow's cameras still appeared on her own. "And I already have the cure ready. We have to use it on all our infected friends. As the book says, they will hold still wherever they are, feeling a strange sensation until it's daytime. Then, our friends will be back like it didn't happen anything!" explained Twilight. "Eh... I don't want to interrupt this dramatic moment, but my stomach needs some food..." said Rainbow. "Really? Did you eat anything during all the time we were here?" asked Sunset. "I guess not..." said Rainbow, chuckling nervously. "Well, we could try to go to the cafeteria and get something for you." said Twilight. "As the three of us have working cameras, I can track whatever you see. Besides, we can communicate between us." noted Sunset. "That sure helps. We shouldn't have big problems." said Rainbow. "Ok, we are going there." said Twilight, and all of them opened the lab's doors and got out. _______________________________________ On the way to the cafeteria, they didn't find anyone. The school looked really empty, with the exception of broken doors. The silence was in the air, but they still wanted to talk whispering, so they didn't risk themselves too much. As they arrived, Rainbow entered alone. "I will look for some food and then I'll tell you so we can go back ir anything." "Be careful. We'll be here at the halls." said Twilight. Rainbow nodded and got inside. Twilight and Sunset kept guarding the cafeteria's hallway, inspecting every single classroom on it. Just as Sunset opened the next door and focused her camera, Pinkie appeared from nowhere and tried to attack her. The vampire's scream motioned Sunset to close the door quickly. "Sunset!? Are you ok?" said Twilight, looking for any bite mark. "Yeah, I'm ok. Pinkie was not able to grab me." said Sunset. Just then, more screams filled the air as Fluttershy and Rarity ran towards them. There was no sign of Applejack. As the vampires attack them, Sunset and Twilight tried so hard not to get bitten. Twilight tried to use some of the cure on Rarity, but she wouldn't allow it. Sunset was trying to defend herself against Fluttershy, with a lot of efforts as she didn't want to lose the camera. "We have to hide somewhere!" she said. Finally, they saw an empty class behind them. It could be the perfect place for them. They looked at each other. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Twilight. "Sure." answered Sunset. They pushed the vampires making them fall to the floor. That gave them enough time to hide inside the class and block the door. "Well, they didn't bite me. What about you?" said Sunset. "It's not my moment yet." said Twilight. Suddenly, they remembered: Rainbow was still at the cafeteria! "The camera!" said Sunset, looking at the screen. Rainbow's recording appeared on it. _______________________________________ Inside the cafeteria... "Rainbow! Are you ok?" asked Sunset. "Sure! I had enough time to block the doors when I heard them arrive." said Rainbow, looking at the hallway. Fluttershy was trying to enter the classroom as Rarity looked everywhere. Pinkie was ripping apart another door so she could get out. "I already ate something that was on one of the tables. It looked good for me, but now I'm trapped here!" said Rainbow. "Hold on, Rainbow. We'll try to get out as soon as they go away." said Twilight, as Rainbow moved around. "It's really hard to see anything here. At least the camera had a flashlight." said Rainbow, having activated it earlier. At some moment, she turned her head, and the light revealed Applejack growling at her. Those red eyes had found their prey. "A-A-Applejack?" said Rainbow, stepping back. "Hit her. Grab anything and hit her." said Sunset. "Hold still, AJ! Whatever you are going to do, don't do it!" said Rainbow. "Hit her! Now! repeated Sunset, before Applejack screamed. Rainbow grabbed one of the chairs and hit Applejack on the head. The vampire remained still on the place. "Good. Now get away, Rainbow." said Twilight. Rainbow got to the cafeteria's doors, only to see Rarity crashing through them and screaming. She grabbed another chair and threw it to Rarity, almost hitting her. But the vampire moved aside on the last second. "Rainbow, you have to get out!" exclaimed Twilight. "I'm trying! Have you tried to escape from a good number of vampire friends!?" exclaimed Rainbow, looking between Applejack, who had recovered and was walking slowly, and Rarity, still in front of the doors. Suddenly, Fluttershy appeared with a bone-chilling scream, while Rarity ran towards Rainbow. In a desperate attempt, she grabbed Rarity and pushed her against Applejack, making them fall. Then, she grabbed one desk with both hands and, with a lot of strength, threw it against Fluttershy. The vampire wasn't able to avoid it, so the desk collapsed against her. "Now is the moment, Rainbow! Run to the Science Lab!" said Twilight. Rainbow got out of the cafeteria, ducking down as Pinkie jumped to attack her. Just as Pinkie fell, Rainbow got up and continued her race. When she arrived, she blocked the doors with everything useful on the lab. The blockage proved to be good when the vampires tried to enter, having a bad time with it. "Girls? I would be so glad if you could help me with this!" said Rainbow, looking at a mirror as the vampires tried unsuccessfully to open the doors. FinaleTwilight and Sunset saw a panicked Rainbow inside the lab, waiting as the vampires kept trying to enter. With the barrier Rainbow did earlier, she would be safe for some time. "We have to make some of them follow us. That way, Rainbow will have less problems." said Sunset. "I'll do it." said Twilight. "Are you sure? You still have the cure." said Sunset. "I'll do it." repeated Twilight, getting out of the classroom where they were hiding. Sunset watched on the cameras as Twilight made her way to the Science Lab. The four vampires were there, trying desperately to break the blocked door and catch Rainbow. Twilight looked at them for some seconds. Then, she grabbed air and shouted: "Hey! Leave her alone!" One by one, they stopped pounding on the door and focused their red eyes on Twilight. Their faces tried to warn Twilight of the danger, but she was brave. "Come and get me instead!" shouted Twilight, before starting to run on the opposite direction. Pinkie and Rarity screamed and ran chasing her. However, Applejack and Fluttershy didn't fell on that, so they kept trying to enter the lab. Rainbow felt safer... Until the door started to break... _______________________________________ "Sunset! I'm going inside the gym! Pinkie and Rarity will be too busy to go back to the lab!" Twilight's voice was heard on the camera. "Ok, Twilight. Be careful!" said Sunset. "I will." "Rainbow? How are you doing?" asked Sunset. "Well, not good, if you can see it on my camera..." said Rainbow, focusing her camera on the lab's door. Fluttershy and Applejack were going to break it. "Oh no... Do you see any other exit?" asked a worried Sunset. "Negative... I guess this is my end..." answered Rainbow. Those words made Sunset feel really bad. She covered her face with her hands, as she didn't want to see whatever happened next. _______________________________________ Twilight had only a few seconds to block the doors when she arrived to the gym. So she decided to use her own strength for that. No matter what she did, Pinkie and Rarity would enter... But she could at least buy herself a little more time defending the doors... At that moment, she heard Rainbow's voice on the camera. "Well, it was cool meeting all of you, girls..." _______________________________________ At the Science Lab, Rainbow looked at the nearly broken doors. Having seen that those would most likely be her last moments, she said: "Well, it was cool meeting all of you, girls..." She closed her eyes, waiting for the inevitable end, as Fluttershy and Applejack finally broke the door and ran towards her... However, something happened... And every sound stopped abruptly... _______________________________________ When Rainbow opened her eyes, the two vampires were standing still, their bodies shaking as their eyes pointed at the ceiling. "Rainbow? What happened?" Sunset's voice was heard. "Um, maybe you won't believe me, but they suddenly stopped." said Rainbow. "The same thing here. Rarity and Pinkie are here, but they are just... shaking?" said Twilight over the cameras. "Wait, what's with that light?" asked Sunset. "What do you mean, Sunset? The only light is coming from t-" Rainbow stopped talking as she looked at the windows. "That's it! The Sun! It makes them do that!" she said. "Its light is shining throughout the school!" said Twilight. "Wait a minute! Twilight, do you still have the cure?" asked Rainbow. "Yes, and it's time to use it and wait for the results!" said Twilight. _______________________________________ At the gym, Twilight got by Rarity's side and gave her a small dose of the cure. Just then, Rarity gasped monstrously as she closed her eyes. Twilight took a few steps back, just in case. However, when Rarity reopened her eyes, they had recovered their old color. "Why is my hair looking so messy!? And my clothes!!" she said. Twilight gave Rarity a warm hug while she tried to process everything. "Whatever happened here, darling?" said a confused Rarity. "We'll explain it later." said Twilight, getting out of the gym. _______________________________________ After some time, Twilight had given the rest of the cure for the three remaining vampires. Everyone had reunited inside the gym to talk about everything that had happened during the night. Sunset's camera still recorded. "I just can't believe you bit me, Fluttershy!" said Rarity, grooming her hair. "I was a vampire... I could have done more horrible things... I'm so sorry..." said Fluttershy, about to start crying. "Meh, it's ok! Don't be so sad with yourself!" said Pinkie, embracing her friend in a hug. "Besides, I gave all of you the cure, so the infection shouldn't appear again." said Twilight. "Um... Is it strange that Ah still feel a little bit hungry?" asked Applejack. Everyone looked at her, only to laugh seconds later. "Hold on!" Rainbow realized something. "All the school is a mess! Do you remember Trixie's birthday?" "Unfortunately, yes. But we can try and fix things, even if she discovers it. Or this." said Sunset, pointing at her camera. "Do you think it's a good idea to show Trixie everything?" asked Twilight. "Trust me, she will freak out." said Sunset, chuckling. While everybody talked about the events of the previous night, Sunset smiled at the camera. And finally, she stopped the recording. _______________________________________ The End
CalmOn a stormy night, a group of friends were trapped in Canterlot High. They needed to find a way out before... _______________________________________ "Not the time for spooky stories, Pinkie!" said Rainbow. "Oh, ok! Sorry!" answered Pinkie Pie. She had Sunset's videocamera on her hands, and was trying to tell a story until Rainbow stopped her. "Pinkie, I'll take the camera for recording how we prepare the party, if you don't mind." said Sunset. "Oh, no problem! There you go!" Pinkie gave Sunset the camera and bounced one or two times before continuing the decorations. The funniest thing was that Pinkie's story was similar to the reality. She and her friends were inside Canterlot High's gym, doing some decorations because a birthday would be celebrated the next morning. Outside, the silence if the night was covered by a storm. It was raining so much. "Ugh... Remind me why we have to celebrate Trixie's birthday." said Rainbow, hanging some streamers on the walls. She didn't exactly have a good friendship with Trixie. "Well, Ah think she just wants ta be happy on her day." said Applejack, carrying some boxes of apples so Pinkie could use them for making desserts for the party. Meanwhile, Rarity was helping Twilight and Sunset with the banners. She decided to put some diamonds on them. "I believe Trixie is going to love those banners. They look marvelous!" she said. Pinkie helped Applejack and Fluttershy with putting around some desks for everything in the party. "Are you ok, Fluttershy? You seem a little bit off..." said Rainbow. The others looked at their yellow friend. "Oh? Yes... I'm just... feeling tired..." said Fluttershy. "Ya can rest if ya want, sugarcube. We won't tell ya ta do more things." said Applejack. "Ok... I think I'll be... sitting here..." Fluttershy stopped working and sat on a chair to relax a bit. Some minutes later, Fluttershy got up and walked to the gym's doors. "I'm going to the bathroom, just for five minutes... if you don't mind..." she said, opening the doors. "Don't forget the way back here!" said Pinkie. "I won't..." said Fluttershy, with a more stern tone. Then, she left the gym. At that moment, everyone had the same question: what was happening with Fluttershy? "She looked so strange... Ah wonder what is makin' her to feel like that." said Applejack. "Well, we'll just wait until she comes back and ask her about it." said Twilight. _______________________________________ Fourteen minutes later... Sunset's camera was still recording the decoration process, and Fluttershy hadn't returned yet. "Hmmm... Didn't Fluttershy say she was going to be out just for five minutes?" said Sunset, looking at the time recorded. "Well, I was right after all! I knew she would forget the way back!" said Pinkie, proud of herself. "Still, that is not normal... I think someone should go and look for her." said Twilight. "I will!" Pinkie went to the doors, but Sunset told her to wait a second. "Do you want the camera? Maybe you can record whatever goes out there." "Nah, I have my own camera! Look!" and Pinkie showed a small camera hanging by her ear. "This one will be good if I have to run or something!" "Oh, I think you can connect it to Sunset's!" noted Twilight, and she tried doing it. Finally, whatever Pinkie recorded with her own camera, a small window in Sunset's would show it. And her voice would be also heard. "Well then, you may go now." said Rarity, opening the doors and closing them back as Pinkie passed by. _______________________________________ Inside the empty halls of Canterlot High School, the storm outside felt even stronger. It made a couple of lights flicker. But Pinkie was feeling too confident to worry about a storm. "Ok, girls. I'm going directly to the bathroom. I guess Fluttershy is still there." she said. "Sure thing, Pinkie. We are watching." Sunset's voice was heard. After walking for a minute, she entered the bathroom. The lights were flickering, and there was no sign of Fluttershy anywhere. "Oh, she is not here! Where did she go?" said Pinkie. "Wait, Pinkie. What happened to the mirror?" said Rainbow. Pinkie looked up and focused her camera on the mirror. Eventually, it was broken. "Wow, did Fluttershy actually did this?" asked Pinkie. "Maybe the storm made her feel so nervous." said Rarity. "Still, I don't understand why didn't she come back here..." Suddenly, Pinkie heard a sound somewhere. "I think that came from the cafeteria. I'm going to investigate there." she said. "Be careful, Pinkie." said Twilight. On her way to the cafeteria, Pinkie heard her friends' voices on her camera. They were discussing about the recent discoveries: the mirror, Fluttershy not being there... And those things made them feel so bad for her yellow friend. While thinking about it, Pinkie arrived to the cafeteria's half-opened doors. More sounds came from inside. "Girls, I think Fluttershy is here. Maybe she felt hungry and came here." said Pinkie. "Now that's just ridiculous. Why would she do that when Ah have all those boxes of apples here?" asked Applejack, obviously confused about that. "I don't know. Maybe she wanted another thing?" said Pinkie. "Anyways, I'm entering there." Just as she entered, she lost the communication with her friends. "Well, I guess that was going to happen anyways." said Pinkie, sighing. Inside the cafeteria, things were different. Some tables and chairs were moved apart, and one or two glasses laid broken on the ground. Pinkie discovered Fluttershy inside the kitchen, most likely looking for anything to eat. "There you are, Fluttershy! I knew I was right! But if you were hungry, you should have come back to the gym!" said Pinkie. However, when Fluttershy stopped and looked at Pinkie, the party girl instantly regretted calling her... She would never forget those red eyes...
FearIn the gym... Sunset's videocamera was still recording "Ok, now Pinkie disappears? Seriously, what is happening out there?" Rainbow was beginning to fell angry. "Ah'm not sure. Of course, her camera disconnected when she entered the cafeteria, but Ah don't know anythin' else." said Applejack. "I have a question. Does Rarity really need her purse?" said Twilight. Rarity had left one minute after Pinkie did, saying that she needed to go to the music classroom for retrieving her purse. So, for the moment, three of them were outside. Rainbow just grunted in response. "Maybe we should-" That's all Sunset could say before the gym's doors were opened and Pinkie entered, closing them as fast as she could. She was breathing hard, sweating a lot, and her face told everyone that something was happening. "Pinkie? What is the problem? And where is Fluttershy?" asked Sunset, expecting an answer. "Flutt... Fluttershy... she is... she... I..." Pinkie tried to talk, but she was having problems to do it. "Pinkie, would you calm down? What is it?" Rainbow was losing her patience. But she felt nervous when Pinkie grabbed her. "Fluttershy is a vampire!!" The party girl shouted, while she started to cry. The others didn't know what to say. They were simply confused. That seemed like a classic joke for stormy nights. But being a joke, would Pinkie really get that extreme? She looked really scared. "Wait, the camera! Maybe it recorded anything!" Sunset touched some buttons on her videocamera to see whatever Pinkie's had been able to record. The rest of them, except for Pinkie, surrounded Sunset. While being a bit distorted, Pinkie's camera recorded some things inside the cafeteria. Moved tables and broken glasses could be seen. The audio didn't work, but they had no problem. Then, they saw the camera approaching the kitchen, and Fluttershy was inside. After some seconds in which they deduced Pinkie was talking, Fluttershy got up and looked at the camera. The distortions grew, but the last thing they saw was a pair of red eyes before Fluttershy performed a scream, which they didn't hear because of the audio issue. Pinkie's recording stopped there. Everyone were almost as scared as their pink friend was. She wasn't lying: Fluttershy had transformed into a vampire... _______________________________________ "Ok, this is bad. Really bad." Twilight was the first to speak. "Yeah! I mean, we have a real vampire lurking around the school!" said Rainbow. "We didn't hear the scream thanks ta the bad audio, but it must have been powerful enough ta traumatize Pinkie!" said Applejack, pointing at the party girl. "Worse enough, Rarity is still out. She hasn't returned yet." remarked Sunset. At that moment, all thoughts pointed at Rarity: Did she know about Fluttershy? Had she been able to hide anywhere? "Maybe I should go and look for her. She may still be inside the music classroom." said Sunset. "I'll help you, Sunset. Rainbow and Applejack, stay here. Block the doors when we get out." said Twilight. "What about the cameras? If Sunset's breaks, we won't know what happens." said Rainbow. Twilight thought about it for some seconds. "I think we can use some of those." Twilight went to her backpack and took out some small cameras for her, Rainbow and Applejack. Pinkie was in no conditions to hold another one, so the rest of them put their ones hanging from their ears. "Wish ya luck out there!" said Applejack. Sunset and Twilight nodded in response and opened the doors, leaving the gym while Applejack blocked them. _______________________________________ "Well, another friend to rescue, right?" asked Sunset. "Yeah... And the whole thing being Fluttershy as a vampire... I just don't understand how she's been transformed!" said Twilight, being really confused. "Kinda strange. But anyways, we have to help Rarity. If we knew about this before, we would have given her a camera." said Sunset. "Well, no need to worry about that right now. Let's just look for her." said Twilight, and both of them continued their way. When they arrived to the music classroom, its doors were half-opened, so they could see whatever was inside. "I'll look in. You may guard my back." said Sunset, approaching her face and her camera to the doors. "Sure thing. Tell me if you see something." said Twilight. "Did ya find Rarity, girls?" Applejack's voice was heard over Twilight's. "Not yet, but Sunset is looking inside the music classroom, so we will tell you." answered Twilight. "Ok, we are waitin'." Sunset could only see the instruments and other things in the class. Pointing her camera to the other side of it, she saw... Rarity? She was looking at the windows, but it seemed like she wasn't moving at all. Sunset looked at Twilight. "Rarity is inside the class, but she looks strange." "Do you think that Fluttershy got her?" asked a worried Twilight. "No way! We cannot have more vampires! That's crazy!" Rainbow's voice was heard on the cameras. "Let's hope it didn't happen." Sunset focused her eyes and the camera again on the half-opened doors. But this time, she didn't see Rarity. The music class looked as empty as before. "Um... Girls? I don't see Rarity." she said. "Are ya sure, sugarcube? Ya just told us she was there." said Applejack. "Well, I just can't s-" Sunset was interrupted when Rarity appeared in front of the doors, looking at her with two red eyes, screaming at the top of her lungs.
TerrorAs fast as they could, Sunset and Twilight blocked the doors as a vampiric Rarity pounded on them while screaming. Sunset found it difficult as she was carrying her camera. "Girls? What was that!?" exclaimed Rainbow over the cameras. "It's Rarity! She is a vampire!" answered Sunset. "What!? So Fluttershy got her!?" exclaimed Applejack. "Speaking of Fluttershy..." said Twilight, pointing at something with a terrified look on her face. When Sunset followed her pointing finger, she felt the same and focused her camera. At the other end of the hallway, Fluttershy appeared, looking directly at them, as if trying to say something. "Twilight? I think we are gonna be her next meal if we just stand here..." said Sunset. "Hold on..." said Twilight, leaving Sunset with some seconds of confusion before Fluttershy screamed and started to run towards them. "A little more..." Fluttershy prepared to pounce on them. "Now! Move!" Twilight motioned Sunset to move away at the last second, causing Fluttershy to collapse with the music class' doors and fall on top of Rarity. Sunset blocked the doors again. "Run, Twilight! I'll find some place to hide!" Twilight nodded and got on her way, while Sunset ran inside another classroom while the vampires tore apart the blocked doors. They were even angrier... and hungry... _______________________________________ Inside the gym... "Two vampires now... Could this get even worse?" asked Rainbow. "And the doors getting broken... They have a lot of power now..." said Applejack. Pinkie, having got calm already, got up and walked to the gym's doors. "I need to see the halls once more..." She opened them and peeked out, and a lot of sounds came from everywhere. Besides, some broken doors could be seen. However, when Pinkie tried to peek out even more, she slipped, and the result was a loud thump on the floor. Applejack and Rainbow got out to help their pink friend get up. "Are ya ok, Pinkie? That was a bad fall!" said Applejack. Rainbow tried to say something, but a loud scream on the halls interrupted her. Our friends focused their cameras on the other end of the hallway and became almost pale, cause Rarity had escaped the blockage on the music classroom. And now she was right there, just watching. But then, another scream filled the air as Rarity ran towards them... _______________________________________ Meanwhile, Twilight had been able to get inside the library. She tried not to focus on the sounds heard in the halls, and blocked the library's doors with some chairs. "Ok, maybe there's something helpful on the books. There must be something, cause those doesn't look like normal vampires." said Twilight, and she started searching for information between books and books. When she had already seen some of them, she heard something hitting the doors. Uh oh, one of them was trying to enter! So she continued her task even faster, but she found the needed book in some seconds, so she opened it and started reading. The book explained a lot of things about legendary creatures, so the vampire's story obviously appeared in it. Reading, Twilight finally found something really interesting: apparently, there was another way to transform yourself into a vampire, and that way was a strange infection that some nocturnal animal could have. As Fluttershy loved animals, maybe she was with them one night, and one of them would have infected her. On the next page, she discovered another thing: some instructions for making a cure against the infection. "That's it! I just need to make this cure and use it on the vampires! And the Science Lab has everything I need!" said Twilight, grabbing the book. However, by the time she did that, a loud crash caught her attention: Fluttershy had broken the blockage and she was now in front of Twilight. "Fluttershy... Don't move, I'm warning you!" said Twilight. Fluttershy screamed and tried to attack Twilight, but our friend moved away and was able to hit her on the head with the book. The vampire fell unconscious on the floor. "Sorry, but I had to do it for my own safety." said Twilight, running to the Science Lab. _______________________________________ While all of that happened, Sunset was hiding inside a classroom. Her camera was still recording, so she could see what happened on others' cameras. She saw Twilight getting inside the library. "Heh, it's Twilight..." said Sunset, chuckling. But then, Applejack's camera caught her attention: she and Rainbow got out to help Pinkie because she fell, but then, hearing a scream, Sunset saw Rarity running to attack them. She knew they needed help, so she got up with a determined look on her face and got out of the classroom. When she arrived, with her camera focused, the gym's doors were open, Applejack and Rainbow were trying to get a screaming Rarity out, and Pinkie was sitting on one of the party tables, with a stern expression. Sunset left the camera on the floor so she could help her friends, and the three of them were able to get the vampire out of the gym and block the doors again. Then, Sunset retrieved her camera. "It seems that she is even stronger than me!" said Applejack. "Yeah, I guess the vampirism does those things!" said Rainbow. "Wait a second. How is Pinkie?" asked Sunset. "Well, she fell, and this floor is not like any garden with flowers and everythin'." said Applejack, chuckling. "Pinkie, do ya wanna tell Sunset how d-" she approached Pinkie, but her pink friend just said: "Go away... I'm bitten..."
PanicTwilight was at the Science Lab, where she needed to get some cure for the terryfying infection in Canterlot High. The book provided a good list of instructions for the formula, so she looked for the ingredients to make it. When she had everything ready, she focused on the book's instructions. Everyone's safety depended on Twilight. If she didn't get a cure, Canterlot High School would be doomed. And the rest of the city would be the next... _______________________________________ Inside the gym, Sunset was still recording with her camera. Pinkie's weakened state appeared on it. "Whatever happens here, I'll record everything! People will know if we don't make it!" said Sunset. "Where's Twilight right now? Do ya see her, Sunset?" asked Applejack. She and Rainbow looked at the camera, and Twilight's own recording appeared. "She is at the Science Lab. Maybe she is trying to make a cure!" said Rainbow. "But she won't be able to do that if Rarity or Fluttershy catch her. We have to help her." said Sunset, reaching for the doors. "Wait, what about Pinkie? Someone has ta be here with her." said Applejack. "She is bitten, AJ! If she transforms, what will happen?" said Rainbow. "Forget that! She needs us for this moment!" said Applejack. "Don't be so stubborn, Applejack! We need you as a human!" exclaimed Sunset. "Ah'm not leaving her, darn it!!" exclaimed Applejack, before a screaming Pinkie pounced on her. They helped her by getting the new vampire away, but they were too late: the farm girl had got bitten. She got up and grabbed Pinkie with all the strength she had. "Go and help Twilight! Ah'll hold Pinkie!" Still scared, Rainbow and Sunset nodded in response before leaving the gym, and Applejack threw Pinkie to the floor so she could have a chance to block the doors. "At least Ah'll have it a little more difficult ta go after mah friends..." she said, chuckling before succumbing to the infection. The next thing she was thinking was leaving the gym as soon as possible... Because she felt hunger... _______________________________________ Twilight had finished the cure when Sunset and Rainbow got inside the lab. Their faces told her that things were worse. "Two more, Twilight! Applejack and Pinkie!" said Rainbow. "Oh no! How?" said Twilight. "Rarity was able to enter the gym! When I arrived, she had already bitten Pinkie! Then, she infected Applejack! Both of them are still at the gym!" said Sunset, only to hear something just one second later, on her camera. "What is it? Are the cameras still working?" asked Twilight, looking at Sunset's. Rainbow did the same. On the screen, there was one camera with a lot of static, but they recognized it as the one Applejack was using. They saw the farm girl breaking the gym's blockage and getting out. Looking at the end of the hallway, she ran through all of it, passed by Rarity, who was shaking uncontrollably, and reached the cafeteria. Once inside, she got directly to the kitchen and started looking for something to eat. Just at that moment, her camera stopped working. "Are you kidding me!? That's the only one camera we could have used for tracking Applejack! And now it's gone! Seriously?" exclaimed Rainbow, feeling angrier each passing second. "Well, at least the other three seem to be doing well." said Sunset, seeing that Twilight and Rainbow's cameras still appeared on her own. "And I already have the cure ready. We have to use it on all our infected friends. As the book says, they will hold still wherever they are, feeling a strange sensation until it's daytime. Then, our friends will be back like it didn't happen anything!" explained Twilight. "Eh... I don't want to interrupt this dramatic moment, but my stomach needs some food..." said Rainbow. "Really? Did you eat anything during all the time we were here?" asked Sunset. "I guess not..." said Rainbow, chuckling nervously. "Well, we could try to go to the cafeteria and get something for you." said Twilight. "As the three of us have working cameras, I can track whatever you see. Besides, we can communicate between us." noted Sunset. "That sure helps. We shouldn't have big problems." said Rainbow. "Ok, we are going there." said Twilight, and all of them opened the lab's doors and got out. _______________________________________ On the way to the cafeteria, they didn't find anyone. The school looked really empty, with the exception of broken doors. The silence was in the air, but they still wanted to talk whispering, so they didn't risk themselves too much. As they arrived, Rainbow entered alone. "I will look for some food and then I'll tell you so we can go back ir anything." "Be careful. We'll be here at the halls." said Twilight. Rainbow nodded and got inside. Twilight and Sunset kept guarding the cafeteria's hallway, inspecting every single classroom on it. Just as Sunset opened the next door and focused her camera, Pinkie appeared from nowhere and tried to attack her. The vampire's scream motioned Sunset to close the door quickly. "Sunset!? Are you ok?" said Twilight, looking for any bite mark. "Yeah, I'm ok. Pinkie was not able to grab me." said Sunset. Just then, more screams filled the air as Fluttershy and Rarity ran towards them. There was no sign of Applejack. As the vampires attack them, Sunset and Twilight tried so hard not to get bitten. Twilight tried to use some of the cure on Rarity, but she wouldn't allow it. Sunset was trying to defend herself against Fluttershy, with a lot of efforts as she didn't want to lose the camera. "We have to hide somewhere!" she said. Finally, they saw an empty class behind them. It could be the perfect place for them. They looked at each other. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" asked Twilight. "Sure." answered Sunset. They pushed the vampires making them fall to the floor. That gave them enough time to hide inside the class and block the door. "Well, they didn't bite me. What about you?" said Sunset. "It's not my moment yet." said Twilight. Suddenly, they remembered: Rainbow was still at the cafeteria! "The camera!" said Sunset, looking at the screen. Rainbow's recording appeared on it. _______________________________________ Inside the cafeteria... "Rainbow! Are you ok?" asked Sunset. "Sure! I had enough time to block the doors when I heard them arrive." said Rainbow, looking at the hallway. Fluttershy was trying to enter the classroom as Rarity looked everywhere. Pinkie was ripping apart another door so she could get out. "I already ate something that was on one of the tables. It looked good for me, but now I'm trapped here!" said Rainbow. "Hold on, Rainbow. We'll try to get out as soon as they go away." said Twilight, as Rainbow moved around. "It's really hard to see anything here. At least the camera had a flashlight." said Rainbow, having activated it earlier. At some moment, she turned her head, and the light revealed Applejack growling at her. Those red eyes had found their prey. "A-A-Applejack?" said Rainbow, stepping back. "Hit her. Grab anything and hit her." said Sunset. "Hold still, AJ! Whatever you are going to do, don't do it!" said Rainbow. "Hit her! Now! repeated Sunset, before Applejack screamed. Rainbow grabbed one of the chairs and hit Applejack on the head. The vampire remained still on the place. "Good. Now get away, Rainbow." said Twilight. Rainbow got to the cafeteria's doors, only to see Rarity crashing through them and screaming. She grabbed another chair and threw it to Rarity, almost hitting her. But the vampire moved aside on the last second. "Rainbow, you have to get out!" exclaimed Twilight. "I'm trying! Have you tried to escape from a good number of vampire friends!?" exclaimed Rainbow, looking between Applejack, who had recovered and was walking slowly, and Rarity, still in front of the doors. Suddenly, Fluttershy appeared with a bone-chilling scream, while Rarity ran towards Rainbow. In a desperate attempt, she grabbed Rarity and pushed her against Applejack, making them fall. Then, she grabbed one desk with both hands and, with a lot of strength, threw it against Fluttershy. The vampire wasn't able to avoid it, so the desk collapsed against her. "Now is the moment, Rainbow! Run to the Science Lab!" said Twilight. Rainbow got out of the cafeteria, ducking down as Pinkie jumped to attack her. Just as Pinkie fell, Rainbow got up and continued her race. When she arrived, she blocked the doors with everything useful on the lab. The blockage proved to be good when the vampires tried to enter, having a bad time with it. "Girls? I would be so glad if you could help me with this!" said Rainbow, looking at a mirror as the vampires tried unsuccessfully to open the doors.
FinaleTwilight and Sunset saw a panicked Rainbow inside the lab, waiting as the vampires kept trying to enter. With the barrier Rainbow did earlier, she would be safe for some time. "We have to make some of them follow us. That way, Rainbow will have less problems." said Sunset. "I'll do it." said Twilight. "Are you sure? You still have the cure." said Sunset. "I'll do it." repeated Twilight, getting out of the classroom where they were hiding. Sunset watched on the cameras as Twilight made her way to the Science Lab. The four vampires were there, trying desperately to break the blocked door and catch Rainbow. Twilight looked at them for some seconds. Then, she grabbed air and shouted: "Hey! Leave her alone!" One by one, they stopped pounding on the door and focused their red eyes on Twilight. Their faces tried to warn Twilight of the danger, but she was brave. "Come and get me instead!" shouted Twilight, before starting to run on the opposite direction. Pinkie and Rarity screamed and ran chasing her. However, Applejack and Fluttershy didn't fell on that, so they kept trying to enter the lab. Rainbow felt safer... Until the door started to break... _______________________________________ "Sunset! I'm going inside the gym! Pinkie and Rarity will be too busy to go back to the lab!" Twilight's voice was heard on the camera. "Ok, Twilight. Be careful!" said Sunset. "I will." "Rainbow? How are you doing?" asked Sunset. "Well, not good, if you can see it on my camera..." said Rainbow, focusing her camera on the lab's door. Fluttershy and Applejack were going to break it. "Oh no... Do you see any other exit?" asked a worried Sunset. "Negative... I guess this is my end..." answered Rainbow. Those words made Sunset feel really bad. She covered her face with her hands, as she didn't want to see whatever happened next. _______________________________________ Twilight had only a few seconds to block the doors when she arrived to the gym. So she decided to use her own strength for that. No matter what she did, Pinkie and Rarity would enter... But she could at least buy herself a little more time defending the doors... At that moment, she heard Rainbow's voice on the camera. "Well, it was cool meeting all of you, girls..." _______________________________________ At the Science Lab, Rainbow looked at the nearly broken doors. Having seen that those would most likely be her last moments, she said: "Well, it was cool meeting all of you, girls..." She closed her eyes, waiting for the inevitable end, as Fluttershy and Applejack finally broke the door and ran towards her... However, something happened... And every sound stopped abruptly... _______________________________________ When Rainbow opened her eyes, the two vampires were standing still, their bodies shaking as their eyes pointed at the ceiling. "Rainbow? What happened?" Sunset's voice was heard. "Um, maybe you won't believe me, but they suddenly stopped." said Rainbow. "The same thing here. Rarity and Pinkie are here, but they are just... shaking?" said Twilight over the cameras. "Wait, what's with that light?" asked Sunset. "What do you mean, Sunset? The only light is coming from t-" Rainbow stopped talking as she looked at the windows. "That's it! The Sun! It makes them do that!" she said. "Its light is shining throughout the school!" said Twilight. "Wait a minute! Twilight, do you still have the cure?" asked Rainbow. "Yes, and it's time to use it and wait for the results!" said Twilight. _______________________________________ At the gym, Twilight got by Rarity's side and gave her a small dose of the cure. Just then, Rarity gasped monstrously as she closed her eyes. Twilight took a few steps back, just in case. However, when Rarity reopened her eyes, they had recovered their old color. "Why is my hair looking so messy!? And my clothes!!" she said. Twilight gave Rarity a warm hug while she tried to process everything. "Whatever happened here, darling?" said a confused Rarity. "We'll explain it later." said Twilight, getting out of the gym. _______________________________________ After some time, Twilight had given the rest of the cure for the three remaining vampires. Everyone had reunited inside the gym to talk about everything that had happened during the night. Sunset's camera still recorded. "I just can't believe you bit me, Fluttershy!" said Rarity, grooming her hair. "I was a vampire... I could have done more horrible things... I'm so sorry..." said Fluttershy, about to start crying. "Meh, it's ok! Don't be so sad with yourself!" said Pinkie, embracing her friend in a hug. "Besides, I gave all of you the cure, so the infection shouldn't appear again." said Twilight. "Um... Is it strange that Ah still feel a little bit hungry?" asked Applejack. Everyone looked at her, only to laugh seconds later. "Hold on!" Rainbow realized something. "All the school is a mess! Do you remember Trixie's birthday?" "Unfortunately, yes. But we can try and fix things, even if she discovers it. Or this." said Sunset, pointing at her camera. "Do you think it's a good idea to show Trixie everything?" asked Twilight. "Trust me, she will freak out." said Sunset, chuckling. While everybody talked about the events of the previous night, Sunset smiled at the camera. And finally, she stopped the recording. _______________________________________ The End
