"Discord! I'm howlin' at the moon! and sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon!"

Rarity stared across the Everfree forest as she waited for something to happen. All of this stuff was still new to her in one sense.

"Twilight," started Rarity, "How big, is the Everfree forest? I mean, is it likely Princess Luna can just find her?"

Twilight thought for a second, "I don't know, but I'm sure she knows what she's doing."

"It's probably like trying to find a needle in a haystack of scary critters..." added Applejack.

Rainbow Dash huffed, "She will need some help!"

Twilight responded, "She told us to wait here Rainbow."

Pinkie added, "Yea, I'm sure she's fine Dashie, I mean, she IS a princess."

Rainbow Dash flew slowly toward the forest eying it, "I can just fly over and find Fluttershy lickity split, I can't let her hurt anypony!"

Rarity replied "I know your worried, but we need to stay her, Princess Luna said so!"

Rainbow Dash turned to Rarity, "And what if she can't handle it! Who's going to help her in there?! I know very well Fluttershy would not be able to live knowing she hurt, or even killed another pony... Somepony else needs to back her up!"

Twilight quickly objected, "Wait, Rainbow!..." before Rainbow Dash flew into the forest at high speeds.

"Dang it Rainbow Dash, should we follow her?" asked Applejack.

Twilight sighed, "We have to wait for Discord or Luna to come back, besides, Rainbow Dash can handle herself..."

Luna looked all around for Fluttershy from above the trees. The night felt eery, as the waxing moon gave a small light. She knew very well by know Fluttershy would have changed, what mattered was making sure she didn't go off and hurt somepony. So, Luna decided to resort to the classic cerimonial wolf call...

"Here doggy doggy doggy!" Said Luna out to the forest as she landed, "Wait, no, that actually was proven not to work."

Luna looked around the area, seeing nothing but darkness, trees, dirt, and air, beautiful air. She began thinking of how she could call out a Marewolf, while behind her she failed to notice a pair of large yellow eyes appear.

"Perhaps I need a chew toy... Or a grass filled sock, dogs like socks, ponies like grass..."

Slowly, the big, hairy, and generally threatening looking Fluttershy stalked toward Luna. In a sense, if one were watching on a TV screen, this is were the 'Jaws' music would start playing.

Luna looked at a tree, "Maybe if I tied a chicken to that tree, wolfs like chickens, and Fluttershy I heard likes the idea of being a tree."

Luna then turned around, "Maybe there's... a... trail....", she started, as she was now staring Flutter'wolf' face to face. She stared as Fluttershy now had large canines, soul staring yellow eyes, and a much darker fur complexion.

Luna gauked at Flutter'wolf's appearance, while Flutter'wolf' stared at her about ready to pounce.

Then, Luna stuttered out, "Y-Your... so... Your just so furry!"

She then flew above Flutter'wolf', and began to feel her coat, receiving an bark and snarl. Luna without a care in the world rubbed behind Flutter'wolf's ear.

"Hush now, quiet now..." started Luna, "It's time to lay your sleepy head."

Flutter'wolf' stared at Luna curiously, realeasing her snarl and looking a tad more docile.

Luna continued, as she began to scratch behind Flutter'pup's ear, "I said hush now, quiet now, it's time to go to bed."

Flutter'pup' yawned, as Luna continued, "Driftin of to sleep, Leaving an exciting day behind you. Drifting of to sleep, let the joy of dream land find you."

Flutter'pup' began to slouch over, and was definitely more docile now. So Luna stopped singing and said "Everything's fine now."

Luna looked around, and used her magic to pull a branch off a tree, "You want the stick?"

Flutter'pup' stared at it intensely, as Luna launched it in the direction of town. Flutter'pup then immediately flew after it and caught it in her mouth, before landing in front of Luna.

Luna smiled, this reminded her of when she had a real pet wolf back in the day. So she flung the stick in another direction, and watched as Flutter'pup' went and caught it. It was rather impressive how fast she could run and fly.

Flutter'pup' dropped the stick infront of Luna again, who responded "Good girl Fluttershy!" whilst petting her mane, "I guess you can train a Marewolf, and Tia said I couldn't do it."

Luna kept reminiscing to herself, while she failed to notice Flutter'pup' becoming distracted and chasing a bird.

"Wait, come back!" yelled Luna.

Ignoring Luna, Flutter'pup' kept after the bird by hoof, and it was about then Rainbow Dash flew by suddenly. Flutter'pup' stopped, stared after Rainbow Dash intensely, and turned after her instead.

Rainbow Dash kept flying ignorant of the fact that a lycan was chasing after her. She flew by many more trees, as Flutter'wolf' took to the air after her. Then Rainbow stopped and yelled, "Fluttershy! Princess Luna!"

Luna burst through some trees and saw Rainbow Dash, "LOOK OUT!"

Rainbow quickly turned to Luna, right before being tackled by Flutter'wolf'.

"AAAH! STOP!" Yelled Rainbow Dash, as she slammed on the ground.

Flutter'wolf' received a kick in the face from Rainbow Dash, and in response attempted to bit her throat. Luna came toward them as fast as she could, as Rainbow Dash put her hoofs above her face before having one bitten.

"BAD FLUTTERSHY!" Scorned Luna as she flew up to Flutter'pup', "Leave her alone, NOW!"

Flutter'wolf' backed away, and Luna landed next to Rainbow Dash. With quick examination it looked as though her left hoof was broken from the bite, and a slight bit of blood came from her head from the impact to the ground.

"You need to control yourself Fluttershy!" Scorned Luna, before she turned to Rainbow Dash, "You will be all right, I'll take you home."

Rainbow Dash held her hoof and felt a little light headed, "Princess, I just wanted to..."

"It's fine." replied Luna, "Everything will be fine."

Luna Picked up Rainbow Dash, and turned toward Flutter'wolf'.

"Come along."

Flutter'wolf' bowed her head down as if she knew she was in trouble, and followed slowly. Rainbow Dash passed out, so Luna had to carry her the rest of the way back to town while keeping an eye on Fluttershy. Eventually, they came through to were Fluttershy's cottage was.

Pinkie Pie saw them first, "Princess Luna!"

Flutter'pup' growled at Pinkie and the others, and Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash before running up.

"Oh no! Did Fluttershy do this?!" asked Twilight as Luna set down Rainbow Dash.

Luna looked back to Flutter'wolf', whom was still keeping her distance from the others, "I am afraid so."

Applejack came up and said "Will she be alright?"

Luna replied "Yes, but, as that cliche'd quote says, 'not unchanged'."

"Oh" Replied Applejack.

Rarity looked at Flutter'pup', "What are we going to do with her?"

Luna replied, "Oh, she's mostly fine now, Rainbow Dash just startled her. But for safety we should keep her inside."

Pinkie Pie looked up at Flutter'pup', "Wooaaaa..." before hopping over to her.

Flutter'pup' growled, before Pinkie rubbed behind her ear, "Oh your just a big puppy!"

"Pinkie! Careful!" yelled Twilight.

Pinkie responded, "It's fine Twilight, see, she's wagging!"

Twilight watched Fluttershy closely, and indeed she was wagging.

"Well, alright. Pinkie, you, Rarity, and Luna keep Fluttershy in the house. Applejack and I will take Rainbow Dash to the hospital."

Rarity replied quickly, "Couldn't I just go with you?"

"I figured since your used to Opal, you could handle Fluttershy fine incase Pinkie and Luna have their hands full for the night." answered Twilight.

Rarity sighed, "I guess your right."

Rainbow Dash moaned as Applejack lifted her up. Then she and Twilight went off to the Hospital.

----------------------5 hours later---------------------

Pinkie and Fluttershy were both passed out, as it was about 4:50 am now. Luna sat over Fluttershy who had turned her blankets into a mess of a sleeping mat.

Rarity yawned, and looked at Fluttershy again.

"I still just can't get used to it..." she said, "How is this werewolf stuff possible? Hehe, now I bet Rainbow Dash is one too... All of my friends are becoming canines! HAH!"

Luna looked at Rarity, "This used to be more common, and yes, Rainbow Dash now has the curse, there is nothing we can do."

Rarity laughed a bit oddly, "Of course, then I guess that makes Applejack and Twilight vampires now! And Spike a dragon, oh wait..."

"Now now, they are actually very little changed, and are the same ponies you know."

Rarity laid back and thought for a bit, and said "I know, I am just having trouble wrapping my head around this... That was immature of me."

It was then Discord appeared in the room, "Hello Princess, how's the pup?"

Luna replied "She's fine, just been howlin' at the moon, and will likely be sleeping till the middle of this summer afternoon."

Discord laughed quietly, "Nice one."

Luna then asked, "So, what happened to him?"

"Who?" responded Discord.

"Omnitreza."

"Oh, him... uh, he's gone."

Luna was puzzled bye this, "What?! How?!"

Discord looked around, then said, "Wait, I think Fluttershy is changing back."

"Discord..." said Luna.

"No, I'm serious."

Luna looked at Fluttershy, and sure enough, she was already changed back to normal.

"How about that." said Luna, "Now Discord, what happened?"

Discord sighed, "Look, I let him get away..."

Rarity gasped, "You did what?!"

Discord continued, "I did not want to, but he more or less blackmailed me! We can continue talking about this back at Canterlot were there aren't others."

And with that, Discord vanished.
-------------------In the Hospital-----------------------

Rainbow Dash was all patched up, with a large bandaging around her left hoof, and some on her head. Applejack had left some time ago to take care of stuff at home, and Twilight waited in the room.

Rainbow Dash moaned a bit, and then turned, and moaned a bit more. Twilight decided to trot up beside her.

"Rainbow Dash? Are you alright?" she asked, as Rainbow turned over again.

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash shot up, "What happened!? Were's Fluttershy?!"

Twilight calmed her, "She's fine, but how do you feel?"

"Oh, Twilight..." said Rainbow Dash, "Uh, My hoof is numb..."

Twilight sighed, "Yea, Fluttershy bit you."

Rainbow Dash chuckled, "I was worried... wait..."

Rainbow stared at her hoof for a second, and looked at Twilight with a wave a realisation.

"Does this mean, i'm a Marewolf...?"

Twilight nodded, and in response Rainbow sat back, "Hmm...".

Rainbow then asked, "Twilight, does being a lycan increase your speed?"

Twilight shrugged, and Rainbow said, "I guess we'll find out."

Twilight chuckled, "I'm glad your handling this with a better outloo-"

She was suddenly cut off by a scream from Rainbow Dash, "I'M A FRIGGIN WOLF!"
