Seeking refuge from a sudden rainstorm in Maretime Bay one Nightmare Night, Hitch, Zipp and Sparky flee to Hitch's home to dry off. As Sparky slumbers, Hitch and Zipp decide to sit on the couch and watch some Nightmare Night movies, enjoying the spooky holiday even as the storm rages on outside.

Could a night of popcorn and scary movies evolve into something more?

I wanted to write a fun Nightmare Night short story that featured one of my favorite MLP Gen 5 ships, Hitch x Zipp, so here it is. The [Sex] tag is merely for some implied extracurricular activities.

This story contains: some suggestive content, some Hitch x Zipp shipping, a ponified version of Netflix, Nightmare Night, joking references to horror movies and mlp creepypastas, special effects that represent gore but are clearly just visual effects (so fake gore), an OC from an older fic, and... a vampony!

I know it's December (at the time that I post this story), but hey if Christmas can invade both October and November then turnabout is fair play.

Fundraisers at the Pet Center always came bundled with all kinds of emotions for Fluttershy. She knew all her little animal friends needed homes, but she couldn’t deny she was also quite sad to see them go.

Thankfully, Pinkie Pie was there to help.

"Oh, um, hello. As you know, I am Fluttershy and I teach kindness.

The key to being kind to everycreature is knowing what every creature needs. So in this class I will be introducing you to the many creatures we share our world with, and how they live."

Rated T for potential discussion about predation, parasitism, reproduction, and other fascinating things animals do.

Has a badly neglected Twitter account with a similar premise.

Fluttershy ruffles Princess Luna's feathers.

With thanks to Damaged and Sledge115 for brainstorming.
