Chapter 2

Luna blinked and was baffled why Fluttershy was here so late at night and then she gasped. Luna saw that Fluttershy not only had different wings like a bat but she also had little sharp fangs and red eyes, this was not the Fluttershy she knew.

"Fluttershy, what has happened to you?" Luna asked.

Fluttershy looked around before finally speaking up in a voice Luna had never heard Fluttershy ever use and it sounded a bit scratchy.

"I don't feel like Fluttershy" she finally said.

Luna was now really puzzled, "Why is she like this?" Luna wondered and then it donned on her, this was not Fluttershy, it was Flutterbat.

Luna remembered hearing about an incident where Fluttershy became part bat after being possessed by some of the known Vampire Fruit Bat's desire for apples, and if she was here now then that could only mean she wasn't completely gone when Twilight attempted to cure her.

"If she really is back then that means she's come for Applejack's apples" thought Luna.

She couldn't just let Flutterbat do all of that, it would ruin the farm.

"Flutterbat" Luna said, "I can take you somewhere you can eat apples, as long as it's not here."

Flutterbat, who had been staring up at one of the apple trees looked at Luna, "Fine, just as long as there lots and lots of apples" she said, licking her fangs.

"Oh dear, I'm going to regret this" thought Luna.

Luna then thought this did make Nightmare Night a little bit more interesting. Luna had never seen this other side of Fluttershy and she didn't want to say it to anypony, but she honestly thought she looked better than the original Fluttershy, especially with her bat wings.

Luna and Flutterbat took off flying over the Apple Family farm and over towards Ponyville. Luna thought of a bakery that served Apple Pie and more, Flutterbat would very much enjoy that. While in the air, Flutterbat stuck out her tongue to catch a fly in her mouth and swallow it. Luna had never seen Fluttershy care so little for animals, let alone eat any. Luna had hoped she would not have to fight Flutterbat, it would not be good.

Chapter 4

Luna was hopping around with joy in the castle, it was almost time for her to raise the moon.

"I cannot wait to see Flutterbat again, this is going to be a wonderful night" Luna thought.

Luna was excited all day to see her friend again, she barely even slept. She hoped it was going to be a perfect night for them both. Finally Luna raised the moon as soon as the sun was lowered and Luna flew to Fluttershy's home.

Luna arrived at Fluttershy's house and knocked on her door.

"Flutterbat" Luna called out, "Flutterbat are you there?"

The door opened and there stood Fluttershy. She didn't have red eyes or big fangs or bat like wings, she looked how she normally looked.

"Princess Luna? What are you doing here, do you need me for something?" Fluttershy asked.

Luna was puzzled that Flutterbat wasn't here, she thought for sure she would've emerged that night.

"Well I was just-I thought" Luna tried to find the words to say, but couldn't.

"Fluttershy, do you recall transforming into Flutterbat at night?" Luna asked.
"Oh goodness, no" Fluttershy said, "Twilight cleared that up earlier this morning, we made sure she won't be a bother to anypony else anymore".
"Oh." Luna said disappointed.

Luna should've realized that some ponies didn't like Flutterbat the way she was; but she was the only one who had bonded with Flutterbat for one night.

"That's very good news, Fluttershy." Luna said, "I'm glad that the problem was solved, I was just checking to make sure everything was alright." Luna said with a small smile.

The thoughts through Luna's head flooded. She had made a new friend last night and now she could never see her again. But she also thought about how many ponies would be afraid of Flutterbat, and how much food would've been consumed by her. The ponies of Equestria shouldn't suffer because of a vampire bat pony who stalks the night.

"Luna?" said Fluttershy.
"Yes Fluttershy?" replied Luna.
"I actually remember some things from last night, not everything but some." said Fluttershy.
"What do you remember?" Luna asked curiously.
"Well I remember eating apple pies, and looking up at the stars; I remember you being there with me." Fluttershy said, "The only reason I wanted to take Flutterbat away is because I didn't want to hurt anypony or ruin everything for them."

Luna was glad that Fluttershy had the same idea as she did. The world was better off without Flutterbat.

"Well, I'm glad she's gone for good, you did the right thing by ending it." Luna said.
"Chances are I'm still going to ruin somepony's day and night." said a voice.

Luna spun around and saw Flutterbat standing right behind her, she was there but Fluttershy was also there at the opposite end in her home.

"What?" Luna said surprised, "How can you be here?"
"Well I know how much Flutterbat meant to you." Fluttershy said, "I didn't wanna ruin what u had by destroying Flutterbat, so Twilight used a spell to split us apart so we can have separate lives."

Luna started to tear up and hugged Fluttershy tight, "Thank you Fluttershy, this was a great deed you had done." Luna said. "Don't I get a hug?" Flutterbat said a little annoyed.

Luna and Flutterbat hugged and flew off together. Luna was glad she could see her friend all the time now, Luna now had a best friend she could spend time with besides her sister and The Mane Six. Luna loved bats and she loved Flutterbat too.

Chapter 1

Princess Luna looked up at the stars and the full moon and took in a deep breath and smiled. "This is going to be a good night, no trouble at all" thought Princess Luna as she flew down from the balcony of her castle. It was going to be a good night because it was Nightmare Night, her favorite holiday, and she did not want to miss out having the most fun tonight.

Luna flew over and landed in the center of the market place in Ponyville, everypony was walking about, dressed in different costumes. Luna then saw somepony dressed as herself.

"Amazingly well done." said Luna to one pony "I especially love the glitter on your mane".
The young pony, who was a Pegasus smiled.

"Thank you, your majesty." the Pegasus said, "My sister was going as Princess Celestia, we even thought about doing a pretend battle" said the Pegasus.

"Oh brother" thought Luna "They are never going to forget that are they?"

It had been a thousand years since her battle with Princess Celestia, her sister, and only 5 years since her battle with The Mane Six who were now her best friends and nopony had forgotten about it.

"Although" Luna began to think "If they did forget then they would've never enjoyed Apples."

Luna stopped and heard her stomach growling.

"Oh dear, I'm starving; but I don't want any candy" thought Luna.

Luna thought about what she was thinking before her stomach growled and realized she wanted apples so she wanted to go to Sweet Apple Acres.

Luna then flew to Sweet Apple Acres, complete with spider webs, an entire maze built from hay stacks; and then Luna saw her absolute favorite decoration, a bat. Luna always enjoyed bats because besides all the Pegasi, bats were a known mammal with wings but they didn't have any feathers. Bats also had sharp teeth and big ears, Luna adored them so much.
The bat was mounted on top the Sweet Apple Acres barn that Luna was watching when suddenly she saw something dash across the roof.

"What was that?" Luna wondered as she flew toward the trees the figure appeared to be lurking.
"Hello?" Luna called out, "Please step into the light where i can see you"

The figure obeyed and crept slowly into the moonlight so Luna could make out who was by the apple trees.

Luna saw the figure as clear as the night sky looked surprised.

"Fluttershy?" She asked.

Author's Note

I wanted to make a story involving Princess Luna because she's one of my favorites. I thought about writing something about her getting a pet bat but then i thought, why not make her meet Flutterbat, Fluttershy's alter ego in the episode Bats! Flutterbat was pretty awesome and she only appeared officially once, another time it was in a dream world where Fluttershy merely just used her form to fight an evil, and another episode where she just dressed as Flutterbat. I will be writing more so hope you guys enjoy the chapter

Chapter 3

Princess Luna and Flutterbat flew over to Sugarcube Corner, the best dessert place in Ponyville. As they landed, Flutterbat turned to Luna.

"Do they have apples here?" Flutterbat asked.

"Yes they certainly do" said Luna, "They have plenty of apple flavored desserts, I don't fancy them but you might".

Luna did enjoy some desserts like chocolate and blackberry jam cake, but she didn't love them as much as her sister, Celestia did. As soon as they were inside, Flutterbat hovered over several apple pies and licked her fangs.

"They all look so good, I don't know which one is better, I want them all!" shouted Flutterbat.

Luna was quite enjoying this side of Fluttershy. Luna had socialized with her sister and other friends like Twilight Sparkle, but Fluttershy wasn't somepony she imagined spending time with. Now of course, Luna wanted to be social with plenty of ponies, she grew up being the little sister and not getting as much attention and love as she wanted; and she became so bitter that she ended up cursing the night to last forever and almost hurt everypo-"Princess?", a voice called out.

Luna opened her eyes, she must've gotten lost in her thoughts. To this day, she still feels terrible for the things that happened all those years ago, ponies have forgiven her and she didn't feel as bad as she used to; but she always believed it was hard being a reformed villain.

"Yes Flutterbat?" Luna replied.
"Don't feel sad now, it's a beautiful night and everypony is enjoying themselves, maybe we should too." said Flutterbat.

Luna smiled at Flutterbat. She was right of course, it was a very beautiful night. Luna was excellent at creating the perfect night for all ponies to enjoy. Luna paid for 3 Apple Pies, one for herself, and two for Flutterbat and they both left.

Later, Flutterbat and Luna were laying down in the grass, looking up at the stars.

"I did make one constellation that looked beautiful, but apparently my magic worked all too well and it literally flew away from the rest of the stars." Luna said
"It's certainly missing out, maybe that one constellation can lasso her back here". Flutterbat said.

Luna giggled, she didn't get to talk about the stars with anypony. She had enjoyed this night with Flutterbat. Luna had hoped Flutterbat could come out every full moon, maybe even every night.

Suddenly, a horn could be heard in the distance.

"Oh I must lower the moon, once the sun is raised you'll be Fluttershy again." Luna said.
"I'll see you tomorrow night then?" Flutterbat asked.
"Of course" replied Luna.

They both hugged and flew away back to their homes. Luna had a great night with a great friend and she had hoped to see her again very soon.
