That time Fluttershy Became a Baby Batpony

Prologue: The Bite that started it all...

Dusk was slowly falling over Sweet Apple Acres as Fluttershy flew over a sea of apple trees. The pegasus, however, was rather disgruntled as she was there at Applejack's request, trying to help the farmer get rid of some vampire fruit bats. The pegasus was instead against how Applejack was treating the other bats seeing that they were probably just migrating. But she promised the farm mare she would help, but she would do this her way.

The pegasus was unsure of how to deal with them, seeing as she'd never talked to them before, and she didn't want to use her stare. But she felt she had no other choice when all her friends were telling her to do so. This wasn't something she wanted to do, but Applejack was her friend, and she wanted to help, and it seemed that there was nothing else she could do to help.

But as Fluttershy looked around the orchard, there didn't seem to be any fruit bats. She scratched her head, wondering where they could be, and looked around the orchard in the hopes that the fruit bats had flown off by themselves.

"Oh, thank Celestia, they moved on." Fluttershy whimpered with a smile as it seemed she wasn't needed anymore and wouldn't need to use her stare. She was about to leave when she felt a prick in the back of her neck as if something just bit her! She looked around and thought she saw something flutter through the air. The pegasus looked around the orchard, trying to figure out what bit her? Then she felt her body change as she groaned, holding a hoof to her belly. She doubled over and started to look at her yellow coat, which was beginning to look rather shaggy, her pink mane and tail looking like a frazzled mess. She then felt her teeth and mouth ache and put a hoof inside, feeling her normal molars had turned into sharp fangs.

Then her ears started to hurt, and while Fluttershy couldn't see, she could feel that they were much pointer, and not only that, Fluttershy could hear all kinds of noises she's never heard before. The pegasus was swishing her head about as if it was on a swivel, hearing bugs whiz by and the whistle of the wind go through tree leaves. But then things started to get weirder as she looked up to see that the trees began to grow taller, and the apples surrounding her seemed to look a lot bigger. It didn't take her long to realize she was shrinking in size!

Fluttershy started to get worried as she tried to crawl towards Applejack's home, hoping to get to her and have Twilight fix whatever was happening. But it got harder to move as her limbs were much stubbier and pudgy.

Fluttershy eventually plopped down onto the ground on her rump and couldn't see what she looked like. But the pegasus knew that she had turned into a baby. All of this started to make her feel antsy as her eyes began to water. Then her nose started to sniff, and the fruity aroma from the apples on the ground got her attention.

The little filly slowly got up on her pudgy limbs and waddled over to one of the apples, taking one and plunging her tiny fangs into the flesh of the fruit. She then began to suck the apple juice, which was odd. She'd eaten apples before, and it's not like she was a mega fan of the fruit like her friend Applejack. But for some reason, she couldn't stop sucking out as much juice as possible from the fruit, being almost addicted to the flavor. The little bat continued to suckle away with a little smile, which kept her mind busy from the fact she was regressed into a baby. Then she turned to see something else on the ground, a plush toy. She slowly picked it up, knowing it was as big as her.

The plush was that of a bat pony with a little button on the belly. She clicked it, and a sharp ringing came out from the toy. Fluttershy blinked, being somewhat confused as to what this toy was. The baby bat pony shrugged, hugging it close to her chest, finding it comforting to hold it close.

The foal could feel herself getting tired, with her eyelids drooping. The little filly went on her back, wrapping her fluffy pink tail around her as she latched onto another apple and started to suckle the juice from it once more.


A few hours went by, and another bat pony flew through the night, looking down towards the ground of Sweet Apple Acres. The bat pony was gorgeous, her coat was a light yellowish hue, and her mane was a bright orange-colored mane. Her eyes were a reddish-orange which contrasted with her two dark blue leathery bat wings. She was busy looking for something.

"Another day, another bit." The bat mare (named Mango) mumbled as she was somewhat exhausted, having just gotten off a twelve-hour shift as a royal guard to Princess Luna. The only reason she hadn't gone to bed yet was that the other night her foal (Echo) had dropped her toy somewhere near an apple orchard they'd visited. Her toddler had kept whining about it and having tantrums nonstop since (on top of a few soaked sheets that had to be dealt with).

Lucky for Mango, her husband took care of their little one, allowing her to look for the toy. "Hopefully, this won't take too long," Mango mumbled. Luckily, the toy released a high-pitched ring that only other bat ponies would hear. So if it were to go off, it would make the search much easier. As the bat mare approached the apple orchard, her nose was hit by the sweet aroma of the hundreds if not thousands of apples below. Both she and her daughter preferred mangoes (in fact, they both were addicted to them). Still, Mango had to admit it took a lot of self-control, not just to swoop down and start going to town on the entire orchard.

But Mango shook her head, trying to regain her self-control and not get caught up in her fantasies. That was when she heard a loud ringing noise, and Mango instantly recognized it as her foal's toy! To her surprise, the bat pony flew through the orchard at high speed to find a bit yellow-coated bat pony lying on the ground. Said bat pony was sucking away on an apple with the plush toy held in the pit of her tiny forelegs. Seeing the filly suckling on her apple, with juice dribbling down her chin, was rather adorable. But Mango also noticed that the ground was soaked where the foal laid. "Uh oh, somepony made a mess." The bat pony snickered as her cheeks flushed red seeing the little one peed and had no protection for accidents.

Mango then looked around the orchard, wondering if another mother or father had left their baby there. Her senses were on full alert, her ears twitching and her nose sniffing the air. She smelt the scent of other normal ponies: Unicorn, pegasus, an earth pony, but no bat ponies. "That is so odd?" Mango mumbled as she scratched her head, wondering how this baby bat pony got here? Maybe the little one got lost and had wandered into the apple orchard on her own?"

"Hello!? Anypony here?!" The bat mare shouted, and her voice carried through the trees, but it was met with silence. It seemed that there wasn't another bat pony in sight. She gave a loud groan slamming a hoof to her face feeling rather bad. She didn't want to just "take" a baby. But she couldn't leave a bat pony to stay here; most normal ponies wouldn't know how to care for a baby bat pony. Heck, most ponies don't even know bat ponies exist.

"Looks like I have no other choice." Mango sighed, seeing that she had to take the baby and care for it. The mare picked up the little baby and taped her up in a fresh diaper (despite her foal Echo being potty trained, she kept a few in a diaper bag just in case). The diaper was cute, with little baby blue bat prints on the padded fabric. She then plopped the foal onto her back.

Mango then stuck the toy in her bag along with a few apples. She then threw out her leathery bat wings and flew off as the sun started to rise. Mango was exhausted and planned to go to sleep when she got home. But when she got up, she'd first try to find this little one's parents.
