//------------------------------// // Looking After Her Heir // Story: Mommy's Little Monster // by Hazel_Hester777 //------------------------------// It took quite some time before Fluttershout finally stopped and calmed down, but it was fine. As for Bunochius, she wasn’t at all mad at her for giving up and that was relieving to the mare. In fact, the only one who Bunochius was mad at was Creepigie, and Rarifruit. She knew Creepigie was her Host’s father, but she was angry at him for what he nearly did to her mother. She was mad at Rarifruit for the scorn and mockery that she caused on her. Things went on pretty well since that day. Fluttershout and Brutalight had their nightly sessions of therapy. At one point, Brutalight asked her to try and find something else aside from screaming that she’s good at. Something that she loved. She found that before all this occurred, Fluttershout had a passion for singing. When she asked for a demonstration, it was just the right timing since the mare about to lull Bunochius to sleep with a lullaby. Bunochius herself had been learning more about her abilities each day. AssSpike trained with her in terms of Ear Rape power and Pinkis would sometimes take turns to get a better look at her other abilities. The young Freak had been getting a hold of her abilities pretty well, and the only problem now was her sudden shifting from Alien to Filly in form. Brutalight also tends to call her either the Screamer’s Spawn or the Princess of Ear Rape due to her relationship with Fluttershout. Bunochius had also begun to bond over with the other Freaks. The Cutie Mark Creeps had accepted her as a member of their group as they did before as Normals. Rainbine was eventually forgiven for what she almost did to her mother and even let the young Freak see some of her moves. The only one who Bunochius didn’t trust yet was Rarifruit. Eventually, one day, Brutalight had to take Fluttershout on a full night of therapy so they had to find somepony to watch Bunochius until they were done at dawn. Pinkis volunteered since she had no plans tonight and Joseph was away for a mission. When the Alicorn and Pegasus agreed, much to Bunochius’ delight, and Rarifruit heard about it, she fainted. When Rarifruit woke up, she saw the black and white hybrid playing with her daughter. “Well, well, well, little Soulfriend. Look who decided to wake up from her distorted nap” Pinkis whispered to Bunochius as the child giggled. Rarifruit immediately got up. “She’s still here? They really did…” “Put us in charge of looking after her for the night? Yep. And she’s been a little angel” “Yeah, a little angel, to everypony but me” “Bunochius, let’s try and make amends, okay? My mom wants to get to know you better” Pinkis said. The young Freak thought about it. “Well, alright” At that, Rarifruit picked Bunochius up. “Well, I pretty much have to watch your mom all the time when it comes to love anyway” Rarifruit mused as she cradled Bunochius. “She’s not able to move on from her ex, that’s for sure” Bunochius began to fume at that as Rarifruit chuckled. The young hybrid then threw a baby tantrum as she cried. “Woah! What did I do? What did I do?” “Maybe she hated that you mentioned Shouty’s lover” Pinkis said as Bunchi cried out. “You carry her, let’s get her something” Rarifruit said as she passed Bunochius to Pinkis. Fruity then got a small strawberry and dangled it infront of Bunochius, who stopped crying. “Alright, Bunochius. Time for the berry to pass into the crate” Bunochius opened her mouth, but giggled as Rarifruit placed it nearer, and she bit Rarifruit’s hoof! The berry then fell into Bunochius’ mouth as she giggled at her prank. She then ate the berry and watched as the First Freak cried from pain. Pinkis was just confused. ________________________________________ “Who’s got your nose?” Pinkis asked as she was about to do the old trick, but Rarifruit beat her to it. “I’ve got it; I’ve got your nose” she giggled. Bunochius covered the area of her nose, looked at Rarifruit, and she took it for mockery. She growled as she pulled a portion Fruity’s mane off! The Freak screamed. ________________________________________ “Whoa! I’m getting the hang of this” Bunochius said as she tried to walk on all fours as Rarifruit held her. “That’s it, Bunochius; one step at a time” Rarifruit said as she walked with Bunochius. Bunochius then decided to use another trick at having fun with Fruity. She morphed into her Filly Mode, giving her Pegasus status…and wings! “Uh, Bunochius?” Rarifruit tried to get the young filly’s attention, but she just began to fly out of the window. “Woah! Time to put Auntie Rarifruit down!” Well since you said down, Bunochius thought with a giggle; the Crusher was near. “Wait a minute! Nevermind, Bunochius” Fruity tried to get the youth’s attention as she neared the Crusher. She kept trying to get Bunochius to not put her in the Crusher, but Bunchi just dropped her in. Rarifruit screamed in pain. Bunochius just began to laugh; the Screamer’s Spawn was having fun. ________________________________________ Bunochius’ crying could be heard throughout the entire room as Rarifruit entered the room with her in a carrier. The Greed Queen was already worn out from the mischief the young Freak was causing. “Pinkis, wake up” Rarifruit said as she shook her daughter awake. “She won’t sleep, she won’t stop crying” “Did you try burping her?” Pinkis mused. “Maybe her filly-like tummy got upset” Bunochius then took a can of tea and began to drink it down. “You think so?” Rarifruit then held Bunochius infront of her. “Is that…is that it, Bunochius? Is it…is it you filly tummy?” Bunochius nodded. “Oh, pat. Pat. Pat” Rarifruit said as she simultaneously pat Bunochius until she burped. “There, all…” but she couldn’t finish her sentence when Bunochius spit up the tea in her face. When she stopped, she looked to see Bunochius giggle, and her eyes shone with mischief. Rarifruit recognized that type of look before. Bunochius’ eyes reflected her own mother’s! “That’s it!” the unicorn said as she dropped Bunochius back into the carrier. “I can’t do this anymore, Pinkis! Fluttershout’s daughter is a reflection of herself!” Bunochius vomited again at Rarifruit as Pinkis watched. “We’re gonna have to start saving up for Little Freak Lessons!” Pinkis’ mother fumed, then screamed and her face went pale with every thought. “Fanging! Temper Management!” Bunochius vomited again. Fruity sighed. “And a mop! A very large mop!” Bunochius laughed from inside the carrier; her tricks were taking their toll on Fruity. She then grinned at what the unicorn said next. “I can’t believe I’m gonna say this right now, but nothing would make me happier than to see Fluttershout walk right through the front door!” “Oh, it’s okay, mom” Pinkis said as she hugged her mother. “We’ll get through this” Bunochius then did another trick as she teleported out of the room and on the top of a high, unfinished building. Once there, she thought about the mischief she was causing for Rarifruit the whole day. She was even laughing all about it. What snapped her out of her thoughts was when she noticed a white hoof on the platform, and it pulled up a white mare. “I don’t know how you got out of my sight, but it’s okay, Rarifruit’s here. And Pinkis is on her way too” she said. “Look, Bunochius, I know you hate me for emotionally hurting your mother and made things harder for me to watch you. But you must know that I really regret everything about it. I’m sorry about hurting her, and I want her to know that too, starting with watching after you. I’m gonna get you down here safe and sound, okay?” That was enough to make Bunochius feel. “Now, hold still” Rarifruit said as she approached the Freak to get her down, unaware of the moving crane behind her. “Rarifruit, watch out!” Bunochius warned, but it was too late and it sent the Unicorn to fall off the edge. “Fruity, I’m coming!” she said before jumping off to Rarifruit. “Oh, Bunochius, oh I’m so sorry!” the Unicorn apologized. “If only your mother were here! Fluttershout, where are you?!” At that, Bunochius knew what she had to do. She may not have been able to control it during her outburst, but now was a right time to do so. She focused hard on it, and the next thing she knew, she was in her Filly form. She grabbed Rarifruit with her small hooves and used her tiny wings to start flying to safety. Rarifruit was astonished to see that the filly who hated her so much had finally taken a chance and even saved her. Once they were on safe ground, Bunochius concentrated and she was back in Alien mode. Rarifruit was confused at her action a while back. “You saved me, why?” Bunochius smiled. “I just wanted you to repent” Right then, the alien slowly approached the Unicorn, before dragging her in for a hug. And for that moment, Rarifruit was happy and hugged back. Bunochius had finally accepted her again. Now she just had to speak with Fluttershout, but in a calm way. ________________________________________ “So, that’s all that happened” Rarifruit explained what happened to Fluttershout as the mare carried a now sleeping Bunochius back to her room. “And, well, I just wanted to say that I’m sorry. I’m so sorry about how I made you so upset and even gratified your guilt. If there’s anything I could do to make up for it, name it please” Fluttershout put her daughter on her back before she hugged her friend. “Just don’t do things like that again and watch my daughter if you’re ever told to again” Rarifruit nodded. “And you must know, Rarifruit, that everything that happened to me on that night of her rebirth will have this scar to remind me by. So if I don’t want to date again, don’t force me” Rarifruit sighed but nodded. “Good. Goodnight” Fluttershout said before closing the door. She lied down on her bed, with Bunochius in her arms and began to drift off. She not is able to remove the scar, but she had a daughter to lift her sorrows about it. And with Brutalight’s therapy sessions, she would be able to heal fully in time.
