//------------------------------// // Werewolf (Part 5) // Story: What if Mavis was a: // by darkmage1997 //------------------------------// Time passed on, and it was nearing Hearth's Warming time. Nathan and Mavis were sent to Ponyville to stay with Twilight and them, while Cadence was going over some things with her aunts. She was sitting with the other girls at the spa, having her hair done, "I'm jealous Mavis. Your hair is so silky and soft," Kelly commented, as the spa ponies washed Mavis' hair. "Ah, oui. Mon masters have shared with me their secrets of having luxurious hair," Mavis replied, as they went into the sauna next. "Your teachers are the Nymphs we've heard about, right?" Melody asked. "Oui. They even made me a Nymph too. That way, as they said, I would grow up to have a body just like them," Mavis replied, as they left the sauna, and got changed. "I'd sure like to meet them," Trinity commented. "And you will. Maman has invited them to attend this Hearths Warming Ball," Mavis replied, as they left the spa. "Not to sound rude, but you'll be glad that Hearth's Warming doesn't fall on a week of the Full Moon, so you don't have to worry about that," Charity added. "That is a relief. I wouldn't want to cause a panic," Mavis replied. "Yeah. If what Raiden told Mommy was true, Werewolves could be seen more like monsters by the snobbish nobles of Canterlot," Crystal commented. "Well, we're only dangerous if we haven't had enough time to adjust to our beast forms. The same goes for Werecats. Wererabbits, not quite," Mavis replied, as the entered Sugarcube Corner. They all placed an order for some chocolate chip cookies. "Is it really ok for you to eat chocolate?" Season asked. "Oui, as long as I am in human form. If I am in my werewolf form, then chocolate can give me a tummy ache," Mavis replied. "I guess that makes sense. Chocolate can be quite venomous to any creature of the canine family. It can either be fatal, or make them very sick," Trinity replied, as Pinkie Pie came over with their cookies. "There ya go! One batch of chocolatey chocolate chip cookies!" Pinkie said, as she went back to the counter. The girls then began eating the cookies. "I'm glad you've come this far Mavis. When we all first met you, you wouldn't even look at sweets. But now look at you! You're eating cookies like the rest of us!" Vibrant commented. Just then, the Boy Band, Equestrian Mayhem, came in. "Ok, I think that'll do for today's practice," Josh commented. His bandmates agreed. "Hey guys. You got your songs picked out for the ball?" Kelly asked. "Yep. We're goin' ta put on the best show Canterlot's ever seen," Nathan replied. "They have a band?" Mavis asked. "Yeah, they're Equestria's hottest new Boy Band. Only difference between them and other boy bands is that these guys are actually talented," Melody commented. MLG air horns sounded, as sunglasses fell down onto her face. "So savage," Conner commented. Later that night, Twilight had shown Mavis to her room. However, since it was a Full Moon Night, she gave Mavis a bedroom on the inside, so that way she wouldn't transform. To help ensure she would get to sleep easier, she took one of the sedatives that Raiden gave her. It appeared to work almost instantly, as she felt herself getting drowsier. She was thankfully able to make into bed before the full effect took hold. She was able to sleep for about three or four hours before she had to go to the bathroom. Unfortunately, her room did not have it's own bathroom, so she had to venture out into the castle to find one. She was able to find one, however, the one thing she didn't notice was that it was a bathroom that had a window to the outside, and the Moon was out. After she was done washing her hands, she made the mistake of looking out the window, and seeing the moon. She screamed in pain, and fell out of the bathroom, writhing in agony, as the transformation took hold of her. Once she was finished, she let out a howl, that echoed throughout the castle, waking up the others. "Oh no," Nathan said, as he bolted out of the room, with Josh in tow. "Was that howl Mavis?" Josh asked. "Yeah. We need to git her under control before she attacks someone," Nathan replied, as they rounded a corner, only to bump into Twilight, Cory, and the other girls, "Ah'm guessin' y'all heard that howl too, right?" Nathan asked. "We did. Was that Mavis?" Kelly asked. "Yep. She must've seen the moon," Nathan replied. "But how? I gave her a room with no outside window!" Twilight said. "Maybe she had to go to the bathroom and saw the moon from a window?" Clover theorized. Twilight then slapped herself in the face. "Of course! Mavis' room didn't have a bathroom!" Twilight groaned. "Is everything alright?" they heard Mavis ask. Turning, they saw a transformed Mavis standing in the corridor, looking at the group with a curious look. "I'm sorry Mavis. I completely forgot your room didn't have a bathroom," Twilight apologized. "It's fine, Aunt Twilight, really!" Mavis quickly replied defensively. "So, you're already in control?" Kelly asked. "Oui. Thanks to mon training with Cosmo, I have been able to control mon wolf form more easily," Mavis replied. "You have puppy ears!" Lucky Joy squealed, as she started petting Mavis. This caused Mavis to freeze up, save for her tail which wagged furiously. Snapping out of her daze, she gently swatted Lucky's hand away. "Please don't do that," Mavis asked, covering her ears. "So, you're ok to go back to bed?" Twilight asked. "Oui. I am still sleepy from the sedative," Mavis yawned. "Alright then. The rest of you go back to your rooms. Come along now Mavis," Twilight said, ushering Mavis back to her bedroom. Once she was back in bed, Mavis conked out, falling back asleep, "I should probably tell Cadence about Mavis' progression with her training," Twilight said to herself, leaving Mavis alone to sleep. The Next Morning, Everyone had assembled for breakfast in the dining hall, where they were having waffles, "Sorry if I caused a scare last night," Mavis said. "It's fine Mavis. We were just being cautious," Twilight said, as she gave Mavis a small dollop of whipped cream on her waffles. "By the way Mavis, is it true you can turn others into werewolves by biting them?" Nyx asked. "Oui. Maman and Papa say that it's because of saliva, or something like that," Mavis replied. "So, if you were to bite one of us, then we would be werewolves too?" Josh asked. This caused Mavis' entire body to turn beet red. "Mavis? Are you alright?" Twilight asked. "Uh... well.... you see..... for werewolves, it's not awkward for those of similar genders to turn other non-werewolves. But for people of the opposite gender.... well..... it's like asking to be married," Mavis whispered the last part. It took a moment for them all to process what she had said. mainly because the last bit was so quiet, they could barely hear it. "Wait, so.... if a werewolf bites someone that's the opposite gender of them, then it's basically a marriage proposal?" Twilight asked. Mavis' blushed even more, "This makes things a bit more awkward," she commented. Meanwhile, somewhere in the village Mavis' parents once lived, In the local restaurant, some older kids, dressed as Monster Hunters were all enjoying a hearty meal. Although, one of them was sulking, "Aww, cheer up Markus.... So what if we haven't found the strong hold of the Werebeast pack? Maybe we were just searching the wrong part of the forest," one of the hunters said to the leader. "An interesting theory, Luke. However, we've been searching the forest the townsfolk here and in the neighboring villages said were home to the werebeasts," the leader countered, slumping in his chair. "Come on Markus, you need to pull yourself together!" another boy declared, as he led everyone in a song. "Ah, I needed that! Thanks for the morale boost Clarence," Markus said. Just then, a man came rushing in. "HELP! HELP!" he cried. "Whoa there..... what's happened old man?" the maître d' asked. "It's the werewolves! I was heading back to my farm, when I saw some of those beastly monsters lurking in the forest nearby! I barely got out of there before they attacked!" the man said. "You weren't bitten, right?" Markus asked. "No, they just stared at me, as if they were judging me," the man said. "Where did you say they were at?" the girl of the hunters asked. "In a small opening into the forest. I can show you where I saw them!" the man offered. "Well, this trip may not be such a total waste after all," Markus said, as he and his crew all got up to leave. "I hope this will cover our clan's expenses," Luke said, giving the maître d a small handful of jewels. "I... um....." the maître d was at a loss for words. "Keep the change," Luke said, as they ventured out.
