//------------------------------// // Bats! // Story: Responses To A Disgruntled Friendship Student // by keaton-furman-prower //------------------------------// Dear Applejack: Since your parents died, shouldn’t you be looking towards those bats as inspiration? I mean, that way you could cloak yourself in their shadows and hunt down the individuals responsible for their deaths, right? Your fellow orphan, Batman. P.S. Those flashlight signals are a good start. Dear Princess Celestia: My friends don't believe in me. What a surprise. Honestly, I don't know why I bothered turning Fluttershy back to normal. I should've just let her get staked. Your monster-hunting former student, Princess Twilight Sparkle. Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle: I must say, it is quite a relief that you did not become a vampire. You have been quite lucky to have been spared the mockery that your name would have brought you. And trust me, my sister has taught me more than enough about mockery to last me an entire immortal lifetime. Your fellow Princess, Luna. Dear Applejack: Are you secretly a wolf-pony? If you are, we could totally make up a bunch of stories about vampires and wolf-ponies fighting each other! It would be so much fun! Your friendly neighborhood monster-enthusiast, Pinkie Pie. Dear Pinkie Pie: First off, I ain’t no wolf-pony. Second, that sounds ridiculous. What’s next, some character claiming to be half vampire, half wolf-pony, and yet stronger than both? Your friendly neighborhood monster-exterminator, Applejack.
