*Nine Months Later*

Fluttershy was sitting on the couch with Violet Night and Sasha. They were all helping Sunset Shimmer clean out her attic. She had asked for their help cleaning it out so she could work on her picture collage, which they were glad to provide. As Fluttershy pulled another box towards her, she saw Violet move a little closer to her. She smiled at her for a moment before taking the lid off the cardboard box. A cloud of dust formed as she set the top on the floor. The two girls coughed and covered their mouths, trying to avoid inhaling more of the dust. Violet let go of her shirt as her coughing fit died down.

“Man, when was the last time Sunset moved these boxes?” asked Violet Night as she rubbed a layer of dirt and dust off of her shirt sleeve.

“Probably a century ago, given how much dust these boxes have on them,” replied Sasha.

“Haha, very funny, Sasha. Sunset probably just left them untouched for a few years. I wonder why she is cleaning it out now, though,” said Violet Night.

Sunset Shimmer came down from the attic and set another box on the ground. Her shirt was covered in cobwebs and dust from her cleaning it. “I have been saving pictures up for a photo collage, and I was putting it off until now.”

“Oh, cool.” Violet Night looked at Sunset and noticed that she seemed a bit up. “Is something wrong?”

“It’s nothing, really. I just saw some photos of Twilight and me together,” replied Sunset Shimmer.

“You two haven’t talked in a while since the fight with Springtrap. Are you doing okay, Sunset?” asked Fluttershy.

“Yeah, it just hurts to remember Twilight. Even though things didn’t end super well, I still miss her a lot,” said Sunset Shimmer, recalling the day she had told Twilight about the Fall Formal. “Well, I better get back to cleaning.”

With that, Sunset Shimmer walked back up into the attic. Sasha pulled the box in front of her closer as she started to rummage through. She found that it was a bunch of old school assignments from a few years ago. Yet, Sasha noticed that none of them went further than four and a half years. That struck her as odd, mostly since she had seen Sunset around for a while. However, Sasha did find it weird that until about four years ago, she couldn’t recall seeing the redhead around before. Just as she was about to take out a stack of old papers, there was a knock on the front door. That made all three girls stop what they were doing and look at it. Sasha looked at Violet and exchanged a worried glance with her as Fluttershy got up from the couch.

“I wonder who is here,” said Fluttershy as she walked up to the front door. She opened it and saw Twilight Sparkle standing in the doorway.

“H-hey, Fluttershy. Is Sunset here?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

“Yeah, she is up in the attic right now. Do you want me to get her for you?” Fluttershy asked, curious as to why Twilight had shown up.

“Can I come in, Fluttershy?” asked Twilight Sparkle, hoping that the animal lover would let her in.

Fluttershy nodded and stepped aside. “Do you want to go up to the attic?”

“Do you think that Sunset will want me to?” asked Twilight Sparkle. “I know I didn’t exactly leave things on good terms.”

“Twilight.” Fluttershy rested her hand on the bookworm’s shoulder as she closed the front door. “Sunset still misses you, and I am sure she’d like for you to be the one to approach her.”

“O-okay,” said Twilight Sparkle, making her way cautiously towards the attic.

Violet Night watched as Twilight slowly approached the attic stairway. She walked up to Fluttershy, saying, “Uh, I need to talk to you for a moment.”

*** *** *** ***

Twilight Sparkle walked up the stairs that lead to the attic, trying to ignore the quickening pace of her heartbeat. She was incredibly nervous about seeing Sunset. It had been nine months since they last spoke to each other. And she knew that what she said and did to her was wrong. She couldn’t admit it back then, but she was hoping to correct that now, assuming that Sunset was willing to give her a chance to apologize. Twilight hoped that she would. Yet, she would understand it if Sunset didn’t give her a chance. She took a deep breath as she saw the door leading into the attic. With a shaky hand, she gripped the doorknob and opened it.

As the door opened, Twilight saw Sunset Shimmer flying in the air, her appearance back to her demon self. She covered her mouth as she tried to stifle her scream. She didn’t want to startle her and make her drop the box she was currently carrying. Twilight waited with bated breath as Sunset landed back on the attic floor. Her hands were beginning to shake as she waited for her to turn around. She tried to calm her nerves as she saw Sunset’s eyes look at her.

“T-Twilight?!” asked Sunset Shimmer, surprised that she was there. “Is that really you?”

“Y-yeah, it’s me, Sunset,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

‘Wh-what are you doing here? I thought you needed your space from me,” said Sunset Shimmer as her wings rested behind her.

“I did, but I am here now,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“And why are you here, Twilight?” asked Sunset Shimmer, letting her appearance return to normal.

Twilight Sparkle swallowed. “I am here to apologize to you for my actions nine months ago.”

“Oh.” The redhead walked over to a nearby sofa and sat down. “I am willing to listen.”

Twilight Sparkle sat down at the other end of the dust-covered sofa. She tried to ignore the numerous cobwebs that were all over it. The idea of being near them made her skin crawl as she thought about the spiders who made them. She wasn’t a big fan of the eight-legged arachnids. Shaking the thought out of her head, Twilight focused on Sunset Shimmer. The way the light from the window in front of them shone on the redhead made her smile. She looked so beautiful in the orangish golden glow, and that only furthered her guilt about what she did. Sighing, she forced herself to speak.

“I am so sorry for what I did to you, Sunset. I was wrong and stupid to treat you like I did. You trusted me to be there for you, and I chose to break my promise to you because I saw your demon self,” said Twilight Sparkle. “You were right about me. I did hurt you repeatedly, and in the end, it was me that was the monster.”

Sunset Shimmer’s gaze drifted down as she watched the bookworm roll up her jacket sleeve.

“These scars that I got from that night are my reminder that I hurt you.” Twilight Sparkle looked down at them. “Every time I look at them, I start to remember how nice you were to me. And how you were there for me, found me when I tried to run from you and the girls after I had transformed back into Midnight Sparkle. You supported me every time I needed it. Then you asked the same of me, and I refused to out of fear. I was scared of you when all you all wanted from me was my acceptance and willingness to hear you out. Do you think you can ever forgive me for what I did?”

“I-I…” Sunset Shimmer struggled to speak as she looked away from Twilight Sparkle.

“I understand, Sunset. I didn’t expect you to forgive me. I know I hurt you and then walked away without apologizing for it,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“No, it’s not that, Twilight. I… have forgiven you. It wasn’t easy, but I couldn’t stay mad at you because you are my friend, even now. And despite how much you have hurt me, I still care about you,” replied Sunset Shimmer. “I waited for you, hoping that maybe you’d decide to be my friend.”

Twilight Sparkle rolled her sleeve back down. “Thank you, you know, for forgiving me. I know that I don’t deserve it after how I acted towards you.”

“Twilight, are you okay with my past? I want to know that you are aware that isn’t me anymore, even though I once was that person,” asked Sunset Shimmer as she looked at Twilight.

“I do know that, and I am okay with your past, Sunset. I know that isn’t you anymore. I am grateful that you have changed and become this person, who is willing to forgive me for my mistakes,” replied Twilight Sparkle, resting her hand on the redhead’s knee. “I am so amazed and proud that I have gotten to know this version of you.”

“But do you think you could accept the side of me that is Demon Shimmer, Twilight? Just because I forgave you for what you did to me doesn’t mean that I will forget it. I want to be your friend, Twilight, but not if you’re going to hurt me again,” said Sunset Shimmer as she took Twilight’s hand off her knee.

“I know that I have said things that I can’t take back or change, but Sunset, I am here because I want to learn how to accept that side of you. I would like it if you’d give me another chance to try.” Twilight Sparkle looked down as she spoke. “Please. I want to make amends for my mistakes.”

Before Sunset Shimmer could say anything else, Fluttershy came into the attic. “Uh, Sunset. Can I speak with you for a moment?”

“Yeah.” Sunset Shimmer turned to Twilight. “Would you mind waiting here for a minute?”

Twilight Sparkle nodded.

“Thanks, I will be right back,” said Sunset Shimmer.

As Twilight Sparkle watched the redhead leave the attic, she pulled out her phone. She had kept the video of Sunset’s transformation on it. Despite how hard it was to watch it still, she wanted to remember not to let her fear take over if and when Sunset decided to give her another chance. She also didn’t want to forget that because of the situation, she had hurt her friend and didn’t apologize when she should have. Twilight had lost count of how many times she had watched and re-watched the video. Not that it mattered to her. She was grateful that Trixie sent it to her. As she clicked play, she made sure that the sound was off. She didn’t want the redhead to know that she was watching it, not when it was something painful for her.

Sunset Shimmer finished talking with Fluttershy and walked back into the attic. She was shocked that Violet’s aunt was going to target her and Twilight. However, she had to push that aside for the moment. She wanted to finish her conversation with Twilight and figure out what to do with their current situation. Something told her that Twilight showed up to do more than to apologize to her. Yet, Sunset did appreciate the effort and bravery that Twilight had put into it doing it in person. It showed that she genuinely cared and was trying to make amends for her actions. Just as she walked in and sat down on the sofa, she noticed that Twilight was looking at her phone. Sunset tried to see what she was watching, but then Twilight quickly turned the video off and put away her phone.

“Twilight, what were you just watching?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“I-it’s nothing,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

Sunset Shimmer looked at the bookworm. “That isn’t true, Twilight. If it were nothing, you wouldn’t have hidden your phone from me as soon as I walked in.”

“Okay, you’re right, it’s isn’t nothing. I didn’t want to say anything because I know that it is painful for you, but I was watching the video of your transformation,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

“Oh, Trixie sent it to you?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“Yeah, she sent it to me the day I read your letter. And that’s actually part of why I am here now. I wanted to apologize and ask you a few things,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“Oh, I wasn’t sure that you were going to read that. And why were you watching the video, Twilight?” Sunset Shimmer shifted on the couch, turning to face the bookworm.

“I was watching the video because I wanted to ask if… you’d be willing to show it to me in person, right now,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

The redhead shifted uneasily on the couch. The idea of showing Twilight her transformation into Demon Shimmer was terrifying. She still remembered how much it hurt to see Twilight fear her because of it. And she didn’t want to go through that again, not after she had just gotten over most of the pain. Besides, Sunset was still uncomfortable with changing into Demon Shimmer. Although the girls had done all they could to help her with that, it didn’t erase the pain of her memories. Sitting there on the couch, next to the one person who hated that side of her, it made her want to scream out in frustration and anger.

“I-I don’t want to make you uncomfortable, Sunset. I know the last time I saw it, I hurt you,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“I-I don’t know, Twilight. I don’t want to go through what happened last time.” Sunset Shimmer looked down at her hands.

Twilight Sparkle grabbed one of Sunset’s hands. “Please, Sunset. I’d like another chance to prove that I won’t run this time.”

“Are you sure that you want to see it right now?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“I will hold your hand while you do it if you would like me to,” said Twilight Sparkle. “Please, can you give me a chance to show that I have changed?”

Sunset Shimmer looked up at Twilight. “I don’t know if I can do that right now. I am scared to be Demon Shimmer around you considering your reaction before.”

“Okay, Sunset. I won’t force you to show me; I just hoped that maybe you’d give me a chance to prove that I have changed,” said Twilight Sparkle.

The redhead felt Twilight trying to pull her hand away, but she gripped it tightly, preventing her from pulling. “Will you promise not to freak out if I decide to do it?”

“Yes, Sunset. I will do my best to remain calm. I want to make you feel comfortable showing that side of yourself to me,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

“Would you mind holding my hand as I transform, Twilight?” asked Sunset Shimmer, sitting closer to the bookworm.

Twilight Sparkle nodded and gave the redhead a weak smile, trying to push past her growing nervousness.

Sunset Shimmer took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She focused on transforming into Demon Shimmer while her hand grasps Twilight’s warm one. It was nice to have someone by her side as she went through with it. Sometimes, she could do the change, and other times it was a struggle. It was an uphill battle. One that Sunset intended to conquer for herself. She had to learn how to love herself, every part. And she was grateful that Twilight was willing to be a part of that, despite her still present fear. She opened her eyes and looked at Twilight.

As she sat there, holding Sunset’s hand, Twilight watched as her eyes and skin began to change. She felt the urge to pull away wash over her for a moment, but she pushed it aside. Right now, she had to be there for Sunset, to give her the same support she had gotten after the Friendship Games. So, she continued to watch as Sunset’s wings formed and wrapped around her shoulders. Twilight looked down as she felt Sunset’s hand change and her fingers morphed into claws. Fear gripped at her as memories of the night that Sunset had first shown her flashed in her head. However, she took a deep breath and reminded herself that this was her friend, not someone she should be scared of. After a few minutes had passed, she saw Sunset’s transformation finish.

"A-are you okay, Twilight? It’s still me,” said Sunset Shimmer as she squeezed the bookworm’s hand.

“Y-yeah, I am okay, Sunset. I am glad that you were able to show me this,” replied Twilight Sparkle. “Thank you for doing this. I know that it wasn’t easy.”

“Y-you’re welcome. And you’re right, it wasn’t, but I am happy to see that you didn’t leave this time,” said Sunset Shimmer. “Would you like to sit a little closer to me, Sparky?”

Twilight Sparkle nodded and moved a little closer to the redhead. “I love holding your hand. I also love being close to you and knowing that you care about me.”

“I do, too,” said Sunset Shimmer.

“Do you remember what you said to me right before you showed me your wings, Sunset?” asked Twilight Sparkle.

‘Yeah,” replied Sunset Shimmer, meeting the bookworm’s gaze. “Why?”

“Because I want to know if you truly meant what you said that night. Do you love me, Sunset?” Twilight Sparkle’s hand trembled a little as she asked the question.

The redhead took a deep breath. “Yes, Twilight. I love you, still do.”

“How can I be sure? I know what I did to you, and I am scared that you hate me for it, even if you have forgiven me,” said Twilight Sparkle. “I wish I could use your geode to see your feelings for me.”

“Actually…” Sunset Shimmer looked down at her geode. “I think you can.”

“Wait. What?” asked Twilight Sparkle. “How? How would that work?”

“Well, if I give you my geode, you can use it. I think anyway. It’s a theory right now, but one I think will work,” said Sunset Shimmer, letting go of Twilight’s hand and taking off her necklace.

“Are you sure that this is something you want to do? I don’t want to invade your privacy, especially since I just came back after walking away for nine months.” Twilight Sparkle sighed.

Sunset Shimmer grabbed Twilight’s hand as she handed her geode to her. "Yes, I want to do this, Twilight. You said it yourself; you want to see my feelings for yourself. Well, here I am, offering you the chance to do that.”

“O-okay.” Twilight Sparkle grabbed the redhead’s geode after she took hers off. She put on the redhead’s necklace, saying, “H-here goes nothing. Are you ready?”

“Yes, I am ready, Sparky,” said Sunset Shimmer. “Hold my hand, please.”

Twilight grabbed Sunset’s outstretched hand, and her eyes flashed white as Sunset’s geode power kicked in.

*** *** *** ***

Sunset Shimmer was sitting next to Twilight; her arm lazily draped around her shoulders. There was a movie playing on her tv, but her attention was solely on Twilight. The way the flickering lights of the screen illuminated Twilight’s body made Sunset smile. She got lost in admiring her, allowing the movie to become background noise. Nothing could distract her from Twilight’s beauty, not even a Daring Do movie. Her eyes lingered on the way Twilight’s violet eyes sparkled in the dim lighting coming from the tv screen. It was amazing to Sunset. And her desire to kiss Twilight was growing every minute she continued to admire her. However, she pushed it aside and tried to focus on the movie. It was too soon for her to admit how she felt anyway. It was barely three months since the events of the Friendship Games.

The memory changed to something else. Sunset and Twilight were now sitting in the library, with barely anybody around them. There was a pile of books stacked next to the bookworm. And Sunset couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of her reading the book in front of her with them next to her. Twilight looked adorable with her hair tied up in a messy bun and a pencil tucked behind her ear. It made it almost impossible for Sunset not to pull her in for a kiss right there. However, it was a public place, and Sunset didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable. So, once again, she pushed her urges down and focused on her homework.

Now, Sunset was no longer with Twilight but, instead was with Fluttershy. They were still at school, but not near the library. The two girls were sitting outside by the Wondercolt statute, and the sun was shining behind them. Sunset was blushing furiously. And that was something that Fluttershy noticed. She shifted until she was sitting directly in front of Sunset and smiled at her.

“What happened with Twilight today? Is she okay?” asked Fluttershy.

“Yeah, Twilight is fine,” replied Sunset Shimmer.

“So, what’s making you blush then, Sunset?” asked Fluttershy.

“I… kissed Twilight.” Sunset Shimmer’s cheeks reddened further as she admitted that.

“Oh, my,” said Fluttershy. “Does Twilight know about your crush on her?”

"No, not yet,” replied Sunset Shimmer.

“Are you going to tell her soon?” Fluttershy asked.

“I want to, but I am not sure Twilight feels the same way.” Sunset Shimmer looked at the ground.

Fluttershy rested her hand on the redhead’s shoulder. “I am sure that Twilight feels the same way that you do about her. I have noticed her looking at you and blushing a few times.”

“R-really?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“Yes,” replied Fluttershy.

Then the memory changed again. Sunset was now back with Twilight. And this time, they were both at Rarity’s house. There were several paint cans along with several paintbrushes around them. The girls all volunteered to help her repaint her room. Sunset dipped her paintbrush in the paint and was about to continue painting the wall in front of her. However, she got met with a paintbrush on her nose. Turning, she found that the culprit behind her now greyish purple nose was Twilight. Taking hers, Sunset did the same to the bookworm.

“Now we’re even, Sparky,” said Sunset Shimmer.

“Hehe, yep. Though I must admit purple looks good on you, Sunset,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

“Maybe, but I think it looks way better on you,” said Sunset Shimmer as she painted the wall in front of her. “I think you are beautiful in purple.”

Twilight Sparkle blushed. “Th-thanks.”

“You’re welcome, Sparky,” replied Sunset Shimmer.

The memory changed once more. However, now this time, the redhead was alone in her bedroom. Her reflection in the mirror revealed that she looked like she was Demon Shimmer. And the dried blood on her one arm placed it right after she had gotten home from Twilight’s house. Ray was sitting on the bed next to her, looking up at his owner. His eyes had grown dark with sadness as he saw the state that she was in. Concerned, he scooted closer to her.

“Ray, do you think there is a possibility that Twilight will love me now that she has seen this side of me?” asked Sunset Shimmer as she looked at her leopard gecko.

Ray nodded and let out a chirp in response.

“I wish that Twilight wasn’t so scared of me. I love her, and it hurts to see that she was frightened of my demonic side,” said Sunset Shimmer. "I hope that she’ll still love me and want to be my girlfriend when all of this is over.”

Ray moved onto the redhead’s lap, nuzzling her hand.

“Aww, thanks, little guy. I am glad that you are here for me,” said Sunset Shimmer as she picked up Ray and kissed his head.

*** *** *** ***

Twilight Sparkle opened her eyes and squeezed Sunset’s hand as she moved a little closer to her. “Would you mind if I did something?”

“Do what, Twilight?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“This.” Twilight Sparkle closed her eyes as she leaned in and placed her lips against Sunset’s, enjoying the adrenaline rush of finally getting to do something she had wanted to do for a while. Pulling away, she looked at Sunset and saw that she was nervously avoiding her gaze. “Is everything okay, Sunset?”

“Y-yeah, I am alright, Twilight. I am just surprised that you kissed me when I look like this,” replied Sunset Shimmer, gesturing to her appearance. “Before, you could barely hold my hand, and now, you just kissed me. Why… why did you kiss me, Twilight?”

“I kissed you, Sunset, because I love you too. And I wish I had said something sooner, and not given in to my fear of what you might think,” replied Twilight Sparkle as she moved closer to Sunset. “I hope that me kissing you wasn’t too much.”

“I-it wasn’t, Twilight.” Sunset Shimmer looked at Twilight, noticing that there was something else behind why Twilight kissed her. “Is there another reason you came here, Twilight?”

“Yes, there is. Sunset, I came here wanting to apologize and to ask you something. I know it might be way too soon to ask, but I need to know if there is any chance it could happen after what I did to you,” replied Twilight Sparkle

“If what could happen?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“If we could be girlfriends,” replied Twilight Sparkle. “Is there any chance you’d want to be my girlfriend, Sunset?”

“Uh…” The redhead looked away as Twilight took off her geode and handed it back to her. “Yes, there is a chance, but it’s too soon for me right now. I hope you can understand.”

“I do. I am sorry that I kissed you; I just wanted to show you that I love you, even your demonic side,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“It’s okay, Sparky. It’s just something I am not ready for at the moment,” Sunset Shimmer said as she looked at the bookworm. “Is there anything else?”

Twilight Sparkle chuckled nervously and looked down. “Well, there is something.”

“What is it?” asked Sunset Shimmer.

“I would like to cuddle for a little bit before you change back. I’d like to watch the sunset with you,” replied Twilight Sparkle.

“Are you sure?” asked Sunset Shimmer as she grabbed Twilight’s hand. “My wings aren’t like yours. They’re not as soft or comforting. And what about the girls? There’s something we need to discuss with them.”

“Well, they can wait until after the sunset. I want to enjoy the rest of it by your side, your wings wrapped around me, please,” said Twilight Sparkle.

“Okay.” Sunset Shimmer put on her geode and patted the spot next to her. “Come here, and we can enjoy the sunset together.”

Twilight Sparkle sat down right next to the redhead. She felt the redhead wrap her arm around her shoulder. And as she rested her head on her chest, watching the sun fall below the horizon, she saw her rest her wing on top of her. Twilight moved one of her hands and rested it on the leathery appendage as she looked at the color-filled sky outside. Right now, at the moment, nothing else mattered to her. All she cared about was the redhead and making her feel like she could be vulnerable around her. Twilight wanted to be there for her and support her, just like she had done for her after the Friendship Games. And she wanted to enjoy this moment with her.
After staying away for so long, Twilight missed seeing her. She missed her smile, her laugh, the way her hand felt holding hers, everything. There was a void when the redhead was gone, and she couldn’t stand having it there. Not when she knew how she felt about her.

As the sun sank lower in the sky, Twilight couldn’t help but smile as Sunset squeezed her other hand. Time seemed to stop, and it was just her and the redhead. Twilight watched as the colors began to fade in the sky while she listened to the rhythmic beat of the redhead’s heartbeat. Nothing could pull her away from the moment she was in. She didn’t want it to end. She wanted to stay there forever and not have to leave. And Twilight knew that the person sitting next to her was the one she loved, even with her demonic side and past. It didn’t matter. Sunset Shimmer was perfect in her eyes and always will be. Right now, in this surreal but beautiful moment, everything was right once again. Twilight had Sunset back, and this time, she would make sure that Sunset never felt abandoned by her again.

*A Few Hours Later*

At the electrical building, the Phantoms were staring at Springtrap’s body. He wasn’t able to move all his joints. Well, everything except his mouth. That, he could still manage to move, and he took great pleasure in making sure that his accomplices stayed in line. The rest of him got damaged pretty badly. His plastic covering had gotten partly burnt to a crisp, partially melted, and a mix somewhat of the two results as well. His yellow-green coloring was mostly black now. And the corpse within him of his human body had partially turned to ash. Every small move Springtrap made caused more of it to fall to the ground.

“Will one of you fuckers help me move now?!” shouted Springtrap as he tried to lift his hand.

“Okay, okay. We’re doing the best we can,” replied Mangle as she chipped away some of the melted plastic around his elbow joint.

“Well, do better!” shouted Springtrap as he tried again to move his hand around.

Just as Mangle was working on freeing Springtrap’s wrist, a mysterious hissing sound broke the usual noise. She looked around, wondering where or what it came from. When she saw nothing, she returned to working on Springtrap’s joints. Yet, the sound came again a few minutes later. Mangle lifted her head and checked her surroundings. However, there was nothing in sight that could have caused the mysterious sound.

“What the hell is that?” asked Mangle, turning to Phantom Foxy.

“I don’t know,” replied Foxy as he phased his hook in and out of the wall next to him. “There are no snakes around here. Not that I have seen.”

“I am no snake,” said the mysterious voice. “I am what one could call a Naga or Lamia.”

“A what?” asked Mangle, turning to where the mysterious voice came from.

The figure walked, or rather, slithered into the building. The sun illuminated their face and body. Behind them was a thick 20-foot long snake tail, connecting to their abdomen and torso. The tail itself was similar to an anaconda’s in the pattern, but not coloration. The colors were odd, definitely not what a regular snake would have. Then again, this wasn’t a normal snake in front of them. The colors were a mix of black and purple, with pink highlighting specific areas of their pattern. Surprisingly, the person’s upper body remained mostly human, aside from the scattered scales covering it. A snake-like tongue flicked in and out of their mouth, making them seem even creepier. However, their most mysterious feature was their eyes, which were an inhuman ice blue. Even their eyes were slits just like a snake’s. And framing their face was long, purple, and black hair that reached down below her shoulders. All in all, the person appeared human from the waist up. Then waist down, they looked exactly like a snake.

“A Naga. Part human, part snake,” replied the figure. Behind them, their tail moved and started to coil around Springtrap. “And… you must be Springtrap or William Afton if you prefer.”

“Springtrap will work. Now, who the fuck are you?” asked Springtrap as he tried to fight against the coiling tail.

“My name is Violet. Violet Night,” replied Violet Night, slithering closer to Springtrap. “And I have something for you.”

Violet Night flung Springtrap out of the building, causing bits of burnt and melted plastic to fall off him. As he hit the ground, she slithered up to him. And with her tail taking place where her legs usually were, she was much taller than an average person. Springtrap stood up and grabbed her arm, making Violet bare her fangs, hissing at him.

“Don’t.” Violet night yanked her arm away from Springtrap’s grasp. “Ever touch me again.”

“Ooh, aren’t we a touchy snake bitch. What is your business here anyway?” asked Springtrap, dusting off the dirt and bits of plastic that still clung to him. “I don’t remember asking for a snake bitch in heat to come by.”

Violet Night rolled her eyes, annoyed by Springtrap’s behavior. “I am here for a specific reason: to get Sunset and Twilight for my aunt Vanessa.” She jabbed her finger into what remained of his chest cavity. “And you are supposed to help me accomplish that, remember?”

“Oh, right. I almost forgot that Vanessa came around.” Springtrap walked towards the building. “But what’s in it for you?”

“My aunt doesn’t kill my only friend with my venom. Or sell me and my secret to the highest bidder,” said Violet Night as she slithered her way over to him. “So, are you going to help or not?”

Springtrap thought for a moment. “Okay, I will help you. How do you want to do this?”
