//------------------------------// // Hi-ya Rolf // Story: My Ex-coltfriend, Rolf // by Dr Atlas //------------------------------// A fanged, red eyed, bat winged, pink haired, yellow colored pony looked down on the hardwood floor, unable to think of her current situation. It had been two weeks since she turned into this thing. She had hoped that after Twilight fixed her with the spell that it would be the end of it, but every night since then she would turn back into this horrible beast, and have an appetite for fruit. She was glad that she was self-conscious when she turned into this form, but that still didn’t help her mind to quiet getting a knack for sucking on her friends fruit from the trees on her farm. Twilight had tried everything in her power to help, but it seemed that magic wasn’t going to fix it, and none of her other friends knew how to help either. Except one, she looked up at the window to see that the storm outside wasn’t getting any better. She was glad to be in this tree than out there, she just wished that their was some fruit growing in here. Ones that she could easily sink her teeth into and suck the juice right out of its-. She shook her head and cleared her thoughts, not wanting to think about that. Instead she looked away from the window and glanced at Applejack, the friend that had an idea on how to help her, she was sitting on the floor, facing away from her and thinking to herself. “You think he’s okay out there?” Applejack, with her back still to her, said. “To tell you the truth Shy,” she turned around and looked at the bat pony. “ah hope he gets struck by lightning.” She finished coldly. Fluttershy gasped. “How could you say something like that Applejack?” “Yeah AJ.” Fluttershy and Applejack looked up to see Twilight coming downstairs from her room with books in her magical grip. “Why would you want that to happen to him?” Applejack looked at Twilight, anger plastered on her face “Well, seeing as how we no longer like each other anymore might be a reason.” Twilight felt concerned.“Thats still no reason for you to say that-.” AJ ran up to twilight, poking her in the chest. “No!" AJ yelled. "I have every reason to say that. You have no idea what he’s like Twi, he is an ignorant, low down, self centered, third-pony talkin’-”         “If you hate him so much, then why did you tell me to write a letter to him.”         “You know the answer to that Twi” Applejack said “And you know that I’d give anything to help a friend, even if it meant-” “Even if it meant dealing with that so called ‘colt-friend’ of yours again.” Twilight said with a grin. AJ just looked away and blushed. “Ah told you guys that were not dating anymore.” “Well, how long were you guys together?” Twilight said. Applejack looked over her shoulder, glaring at her. “We were together for about a year.” “A year?” Twilight and Fluttershy said in unison. “Eeyup.” “What made you guys break up?” Twilight said. AJ looked down at the floor. “I’d rather not talk about it, he was just...just a jerk okay.” “AJ...” Twilight walked up to her and rested a hoof on her shoulder. “If you hated him so much, then why did you mention him when you, me and the girls were trying to figure out ways to help Fluttershy?” Applejack pushed Twilights hoof off of her. “Because he was the only other pony ah could think of at the time.” “But why him?” Fluttershy spoke up “Don’t you know anyone else?” AJ sighed. “He’s the only pony ah know who has dealt with this kind of thing before.” “Dealt with vamponies?” Twilight questioned. Applejack started walking towards Fluttershy, staring into her red eyes, seeing her own angry reflection in them. “Yeah,” Applejack answered. “He talked about it in one of his many stories that he wouldn’t shut up about.” Fluttershy looked away from AJ, unable to bear the cold stare she was giving her. “Did he ever say how he...uh...’dealt’ with them?” “He said his ‘elders’” AJ raised her hooves and gave a quoting sign while saying elders. “dealt with em’” “But he never said that he dealt with them did he?” Twilight said, giving a look of concern. “Did he ever actually face one of them?” “Ah don’t know, but he always said how he dealt with many other creatures. All of which he would not stop showin’ off about.” Futtershy moved closer to AJ. “B-but he knows how to fix this, right?” Applejack looked down, not quite sure how to answer that question. “Shy, I really don’t know.” She looked at Twilight again. “But unless anypony else has any ideas on how to help you Fluttershy, then I’d like to hear about it now before he gets here.” Twilight stared back at Applejack, “You know full well that I’ve tried everything.” Twilight levitated the books toward her. “I looked in every book, tried every single spell, created every potion, but not one of them gave me any information, or any changes in her from or behavior.” “Well,” Fluttershy said, scratching the back of her neck “That one potion almost worked.” Twilight stacked the books and set them down. “It did work, your eye’s and ears were back to normal and your fangs went away” Then she sighed “except the side effect was your heart stopping, I was just glad that there was an antidote to it.” *KNOCK* *KNOCK*         Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight turned toward the door. AJ turned back to Twilight. “Looks like he’s here” AJ grumbled and sat down next to the bat pony. Fluttershy looked at Applejack “A-aren't you gonna...you know...let him in?” Applejack just looked at Twilight blankly. “Alright, fine." Twilight said "I’ll get it.” Using her magic, Twilight opened the door. Standing right outside on the porch stood a shadowy figure in a black overcoat with a wide brimmed hat on him that was blocking his face. Twilight took a step back while Fluttershy stood behind AJ and cowered in fear. Applejack just gave another sigh. “Hello Rolf.” She said blankly. The figure looked up to reveal his grinning brown face. He took off his hat, revealing his blue mane. “Rolf is happy to see you again farm mare. May the son of a shepherd come in?”
