//------------------------------// // A Bite Curse // Story: Aliens and Ponies // by Hazel_Hester777 //------------------------------// Pinkie woke up, not like the way she normally does, but rather as though she was curled up in a ball on top of her bed. When she ate her breakfast, she was lapping up the water with her tongue the way a dog would. And when she spotted a cat, she began to chase after it. She also seemed to growl when she doesn’t get her way. She barely noticed the changes. All signs that Bunny’s Spell had been taking effect. As a matter of fact… “Pfft. Hahahahahaha! I knew it would take effect on you when you wake up” Bunny laughed as she watched the shenanigans her subject was up to. Nopony could even hear what she was saying, the alien already morphed into a falcon so all everypony else could hear her crowing. “Bunny, come!” Fluttershy called. The Shapeshifter responded by flying to her friend’s side; after all, they had their own chat to work on. Pinkie chased after the cat, a small Siamese. But as she did, her heart pounded faster, she eventually cornered the cat. But by then, Bunny’s Spell was already under full affect. The cat got away by climbing up a pipe, lucky for it. Pinkie began to walk away in frustration when she looked into a mirror. She didn’t see her pony self, however, she was a dog! A poodle, to be exact. “What is that?” she questioned herself, all she heard was barking that only she understood. “Am I barking now? Maybe somepony drugged me, and stuffed me in a dog costume. Wait! I’m dreaming! That’s it! I just gotta wake up!” That was when she ran to a distance, and banged her head on the wall. All she felt was pain. “Okay, I’m not dreaming. I’m not in a dog costume. Which means only 1 thing: I’m a dog. I’m a dog?! I’M A DOG!” She yelled out the truth, but nopony looked her way. “But how did this happen? Wait a minute!” Pinkie then remembered the events of last night. ________________________________________ “Ha! Got you! Ouch!” Pinkie exclaimed when she finally caught the rabbit, but Bunny bit her after she whispered a chant “Cum animus incipit currere, in posterum erunt canem pace” ________________________________________ “That…thing! Oh, I have to find Fluttershy and Twilight!” Saying so, she ran all the way down the road. “Besides, it won’t be hard to find both; they’re practically glued together” ________________________________________ “Do as you’re told, Bunny. Go gather all information you can” Twilight told the creature as she morphed from falcon to rabbit. She hopped right to the door of the shelter, causing noise to attract attention from inside. Fluttershy said this place was where her animal friends were sent to. To know exactly what they were doing in there, Bunny offered to go inside and out while Fluttershy and Twilight hid and watch from afar. “Oh! Another one for the day!” a keeper said upon grabbing Bunny and going inside. He put her in a cage separate like the others. She saw all the animals were trapped in individual cages, some going crazy. She cocked her head to the side, which was when she found him: Angel. “Excuse me, you’re Angel Bunny, right?” she asked. “Why, yes. Hang on, how did you know my name?” Bunny saw the guard had already left, so she morphed into her natural form, much to the others’ surprise. “Whoa! What are you?” “Long story short, my name’s Bunny. I came in here to help you get out soon, I was sent by Fluttershy” “And why should I believe you?” She held up a carrot plushy, it was given by Fluttershy to assure Angel. “Okay, I’m convinced” “Good, I need you to tell me what’s going on in here” “By day, it’s okay. But by night, when they all leave, that’s when the freaky stuff happens” “What kind of freaky stuff?” “All I’m saying is that when the colt in the lab coat pulls out the giant needle, RUN!” he yelled at the last word to prove his point. It gave Bunny then shuddered as she morphed into her rabbit form. ________________________________________ “All right!” the main scientist declared. “Bring me the new one” The keeper grabbed Bunny and carried her to the Testing Room. “Your lucky day” As he laid her on the table, she noticed a DNA jar which read “Pony”. It caused her to whimper. “Aww. Don’t worry, little one. It will only hurt…a lot” Bunny shuddered. The scientist filled the injection needle up with the serum; he tapped it to make sure it was ready. With a grin, he walked stealthily towards Bunny. “Cum animus incipit currere, in posterum erunt canem pace”She whispered again before she sneezed on the scientist’s face! “Gross! Your mouth was open!” the keeper holding Bunny said. The Scientist wiped his mouth. “Just…hold her” But Bunny bit the keeper, allowing her to escape. She ran as fast as she could to the exit, promising to the animals she will come back for them. “Run, Bunny, run!” Angel yelled as she escaped. “FIND THAT THING!” The scientist yelled to his co-workers. ________________________________________ “Fluttershy!” Bunny called out as she ran to the mare. “Bunny! Let’s go!” Fluttershy caught Bunny as she and Twilight flew away with her. “What did you find out?” Twilight asked. “They’re doing tests on animals! Angel said they do this at night by injecting different DNA serums in their system. It has a temporary effect, but from the looks of it, they were trying to get one goal” “And what is that?” Fluttershy asked when they got back to Fluttershy’s cottage. “Immortality” Bunny morphed back to normal with her paws up in the air. “Immortality?! But, that’s impossible, isn’t it? Well, except for the Lord, the Son, Angels, and possibly your race, Servant” Twilight asked. “First of all: my race has to die first before becoming these Servants. Second: Even if they did find a way, it would always come at a cost” But, at that moment, the door swung open and Pinkie entered. Twilight and Fluttershy just thought it was a normal poodle that got lost while Bunny knew what it really was. “You! Who the hay is you and what did you do to me?! Why did you bite me, huh?!” Pinkie yelled at Bunny, all the alien did was pretending to cower. Twilight and Fluttershy only heard barking, so they thought the poodle was scaring her. “Restitui tincidunt mane Ut custodiant te in oculis ipsius formae intellexerit dolor” Bunny chanted at Pinkie as the poodle vanished off back to her bedroom. “Bunny, when you chant, do you use a certain language?” Twilight asked. “Yes, it’s Latin most of the time, but they could also vary with a mix of other languages” “The one you just chanted, what did it mean?” “Oh, that? I just sent the poodle back to its home” “Oh, nice” Bunny grinned; they didn’t know what it really meant: ‘Go back to where you start this morning As you watch through the eyes of this form, understand their suffering’ It really meant Bunny did mean to bite Pinkie. She didn’t just send her back home; she made sure her Bite Curse would let the earth pony see what it really is through the lives of an animal. When Pinkie finally understands, she will reveal what really happened.
