Chapter 11: Protecting Flutterbat


I used my wings to carry me over to Sweet Apple Acres as fast as possible, "I'm coming Flutterbat! Just hang on!" I kept telling myself, hoping that Flutterbat was still Flutterbat.

I made it to Sweet Apple Acres and rushed to the orchard in search for Flutterbat, so I came to the apple tree that she and I hang off of from our last two dates. She was there, still a vampire pony. I was so relieved, but then Twilight and her friends showed up, so I hid behind the tree to avoid being caught. "There she is." Twilight said. "Well, whataya waitin' for? Use the spell!" Rainbow Dash demanded.

Twilight began to use her spell on Flutterbat, I thought quickly and picked up some of the dead apples Flutterbat left behind and threw them at Twilight, trying to disrupt her spell, and it worked. Without concentration, Twilight can't use any of her spells. "Who did that!?" Applejack shouted throughout the orchard. I stepped out from behind the tree, "I did." I said in a serious tone of voice. I stared them down, prepared to protect my special somepony, and Applejack and Rainbow Dash gave me the angriest scowls they could put on their faces. "Why, you little...!" Rainbow Dash said through her teeth.

"HISSSS!"

I knew that hiss anywhere, Flutterbat saw us and flew off. "Now look what you did!" Rainbow Dash commented. "Shin, please understand, this is for the good of everypony." Twilight explained. "How? How do you know that?" I began to speak, "You won't take her from me..." Anger filled my entire being. So this is how it feels... "I WILL PROTECT MY SPECIAL SOMEPONY IF IT KILLS ME!!" Everypony stood there, astonished by my extremely loud voice. I ignored their stares and went after Flutterbat, and Rainbow Dash soon snapped out of it and quickly gave chase.

I found Flutterbat hanging off another tree from another branch that was low to the ground, I calmed down and tried to talk to her, "Are you ok?" She took a stick laying on the ground and wrote in the dirt, "WHAT'S GOING ON?" Is what it said. I explained to her about what Twilight and her friends were about to do to her, and that I won't let it happen. She began to write in the dirt again, "DO YOU CARE FOR ME THAT MUCH?" That's what was written. I was silent, I walked up to her and gave her a passionate kiss, "Does that answer your question?" I whispered in her ear, smiling.

Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash caught up to us, "Alright, enough with the mushy stuff." she said. "And who are you to judge?!" I yelled. She stood there, determined, "Fine. I guess I'll have to put you in your place." I readied my stance, prepping myself for battle, despite the fact that I don't know how to fight, but I had to try...

For her.

Why didn't she attack yet? She just standing there with a smirk on her face. "What are you-" Twilight came before I could finish, "SHIN! BEHIND YOU!" she tried to warn me. I turned around as quickly as I could and-

THUMP!

I was knocked out from behind. Before I passed out, I saw Twilight cast her spell as Rarity suspended Flutterbat in the air with her magic.
