It was a beautiful night in Ponyville, and Fluttershy tucked all her animals in for the night, with her chickens, starting with Elizibeak the first of her poultry. She went back into her cottage, and went upstairs to bed. All of a sudden, she heard a knock on her door. She went downstairs, and opened it. It was her friends and Spike, with Applejack in front of them. "Oh, hello." said Fluttershy with a yawn, wiping her eyes.
"Howdy, Fluttershy." said Applejack, in a tone of slight guilt.
"What are you all doing here?"
"Well... We feel really bad about turning you into a bat, and..." Twilight stopped herself from her explanation. She kept saying "And" a few times, but was stopped by Applejack finishing her sentence
"What Twilight was trying to say was that, we were only trying to help Ponyville." said Applejack.
"Yeah, We're sorry if we were terrible friends to you." said Rainbow Dash.
"We're sorry." said Everypony else.
Fluttershy smiled and said with a smile and in a reassuring voice, "It's okay, Everypony. You didn't mean that to happen, but I'm alright now. Besides, that was months ago."
"Okay." said Applejack. "Can you ever forgive us?"
"Of course I forgive you." said Fluttershy. "You're my friends, and nothing will ever change that."
"Aww." said Everypony, hugging in a group hug Fluttershy all at once.
"I'm just glad it's all over." said Spike
"Agreed." said the girls.
"So, darling." said Rarity "Would you like to join us tomorrow for some cucumber sandwiches?"
"Of course." said Fluttershy. "Good night everypony."
"Goodnight." the rest. The group then went home, and Fluttershy went back up to bed, and soon, the whole cottage was asleep with the peaceful sounds of the night around Ponyville.
Midnight
Fluttershy woke up in the middle of the night with a sudden appetite for an apple. She got out of bed, and looked in her fridge. There it was, a large, juicy apple, sparkly, and shiny in Fluttershy's eyes. The yellow pegasus began to drool by the sight, and deliciousness of the round, red fruit. She nodded her head rapidly, wiped off the drool off of her mouth, and said to herself "What am I doing? I don't need a late night snack. I just want to be asleep."
She looked around her home, and made sure that she didn't wake up any of her critter friends from their peaceful sleeping. Luckily, no animal stirred, and the cottage was still as quite as ever. Well, except for the snoring of many animals, outside and inside the cottage, and the sounds of chirping crickets. She looked back at her fridge and decided to throw the apple in the garbage, because during her... transforming, she decided to go on a strict, "No Apple" diet for a few months. "Glad that's in the trash." she whispered to herself with a "Whew." She went back upstairs, and this time, fell asleep in her bed.
The Next Morning
Fluttershy awoke with a yawn, and looked outside her window. "Ah, what a beautiful morning." she said to herself out loud. She slowly got out of bed, and tended to her critter friends, feeding them all of them some breakfast, with Angel getting first dibs on the food. After she was finished, she heard another knock on the door, and once again, it was her closest friends. "Good morning." she said to them
"Hello, Fluttershy." said her friends in unison.
"Did you have a good sleep, darling?" said Rarity in a sweet voice
"Of course I did." said Fluttershy. "Why would you all think I haven't had a good sleep?"
"No reason." said Rainbow Dash
"Yeah, we were just worried that we have kept you up all night because of our visit here." said Twilight
"Don't worry, about it." said Fluttershy. "I have had a good night sleep, and you didn't bother me at all."
The group smiled at her, and Applejack said "Would you like to come with us for some sandwiches now, sugarcube?"
"Of course." said Fluttershy
"Let's go!" said Pinkie Pie excitingly. Just like that, Everypony went to the Ponyville cafe.
***
Everypony had a good, well fed lunch, and some apple ciders as drinks.
"Hoo-wee!" said Applejack. "Boy am I stuffed!"
"Oh that was quite a good lunch." said Rarity
"I'm stuffed." said Spike patting his belly like a bongo.
All of a sudden, Fluttershy looked over to the other side of her, and saw Granny Smith at an apple stand, selling tons of them to everypony. She began to drool again, and her mouth was slightly agage. She saw a huge one, as big as the one in her fridge from last night when she wanted a midnight snack, and it looked nice and juicy, ripe from an apple tree.
"Fluttershy?" said Applejack. She gently poked her to snap her out of her trance.
"What?" said Fluttershy, out of her thoughts and turning back to her friends attention
"You okay?" said Applejack
"I'm alright." said Fluttershy.
"Are... are you... drooling?" said Rainbow Dash
Fluttershy gasped and wiped her mouth rapidly to and fro, and acted like it never happened. "No." she said quietly. "I wasn't drooling."
"Is there something wrong?" said Spike
"No, no. I... I was just looking at the apples over there" said Fluttershy, pointing to Granny Smith again.
"Oh, would you like one?" said Applejack
"No! No!" said Fluttershy. "I'm not hungry."
"Are you sure?" said Twilight
"Yeah, Sugarcube. You can always ask me for an apple anytime." said Applejack
"That's really sweet of you, Applejack, but... I told you I'm not hungry." said Fluttershy. "I've decided that I'm going to take a break from apples for a few months after... you know..."
"Oh." said Applejack with a little guilt. "I am so sorry if I put you through all that." she bent down her head with sadness.
"Oh no, no. Don't be sorry." said Fluttershy. "It was not your fault."
"Yes it was." said Applejack. "I was more focused on helping my apples than thinking about you."
"It was not your fault." said Fluttershy kindly. "Everypony makes mistakes once in a while."
"Are you sure?" said Applejack
"Sure." said Fluttershy.
"Thanks." said Applejack. "you really are a true true friend." she then hugged Fluttershy.
"You're welcome." the yellow pegasus replied, hugging her back.
"Hey, Fluttershy." said Spike. "I was... in on that too, and I'm... I'm..." Spike was about to shed a tear, but he felt himself being hugged by Fluttershy.
"Oh, Spike. It's okay. I forgive you, like I forgive all of you." said Fluttershy, with everypony at the table touched by her comment.
After she broke her hug with Spike, the baby dragon then said "Oh! Fluttershy. I forgot to give you something last night." He reached behind his back, and pulled out a plate of sugar cookies that all say "Sorry" on each of them. "I made these cookies myself."
Twilight giggled and said "Spike wanted to make you some cookies as an apology from the incident."
"Oh, Spike." said Fluttershy. "That's so sweet of you. Thank you so much." then, she did what everypony least expected her to do, she bent down, and kissed him, right on his forehead, making him blush
"You... you kissed me?" said Spike a little surprised. Usually, she would expect a kiss fom Rarity, because she is his love interest after all.
"Of course i did, silly." said Fluttershy softly. "You are one of my closest friends after all."
Minus Spike, and Fluttershy themselves, gave out an "Aww."
"How adorable." said Rarity.
"Th... thanks." said Spike, still blushing.
Fluttershy giggled and said "You're welcome." she had a thought and said "Spike, would... would you like to come with me to the park later?"
"Sure." said Spike "What for?"
"Well.... I just feel like I should spend more time with you."
"Sure. I'll be there." said Spike. He looked at Twilight, and said to her "Can I go with her, please please please?????"
Twilight giggled and said "Oh, alright. Just be careful on your way there."
"Twi." said Spike with embarrassment. "Can you please stop treating me like a baby?"
"Sorry." said Twilight. "I just ask you because I love you."
"I know, I know." Spike said in an irritated voice. "I'll be careful."
"Good."
Later that day at park
FLuttershy and Spike came in together at the park, surprisingly, there was nopony there, but themselves for no apparent reason. They walked side by sde for a little while, and they stopped to sit on a bench
"Spike?" said Fluttershy
"Yeah?"
"Do you consider me a good friend to you?" asked the yellow pegasus
"Of course, Fluttershy. Why wouldn't i?" said Spike
"Well, I'm starting to worry that I'm not a good friend to you, because I don't interact with you as much as I used to. You know, back on the first day you and Twilight came to Ponyville?" said Fluttershy
"Oh. Don't be silly, Fluttershy." said Spike. "Your not a terrible friend."
"I know that, but I.... I..." Fluttershy was trying to explain her... guilt to him
"Yes?"
"I feel like I'm not a good friend to you." said Fluttershy, bowing her head in sadness.
"Don't say that, Shy." said Spike. "You're a great friend to me."
"Really?' said Fluttershy
"Sure." Spike replied. He thought of how to cheer Fluttershy up, and decided "Look. If it makes you feel any better, would you like to join me at the annual comic book convention in Canterlot?"
Fluttershy looked up, and said "Oh, I don't know." said Fluttershy. "Comic books are not really my cup of tea."
"I know." said Spike. "But I was also thinking that maybe, We can be at Canterlot together like, window shopping, and looking at the Canterlot Pet Store?"
Fluttershy then had a change of heart and said "Why didn't you say so. Of course I'll come with you."
"Good." said Spike. "So.... should we get going?" said Spike
"No. I feel like I should look at the beautiful sight at the park."
"You know, know that you mention it, it does look beautiful today." said Spike with a change of heart. The two then began to admire the beautiful view of the park around them.
Night
Fluttershy did her nightly routine to her animals, tucking them all in. She, as usual, gave them a good night kiss, and went up into her bedroom. But, however, something was very wrong. She felt her head pounding, like something was about to happen to her. She dropped herself on the bed, trying to fight off the pounding inside her noggin. All of a sudden, her cutie mark changed from pink butterflies to pink bats. She grew vampire-like fangs, and her skin became a little more pale yellow. Her wings also took on a more bat like appearance. Her eyes turned from light green to blood red.
Just then, the pounding stopped, and she is once again, "Flutterbat!"
She looked at herself in her mirror, and was shocked, but however was calm in an instant. She said "I'm a bat again.", and she touched her fangs with both her hooves. She felt.... different all of a sudden, like... she feels somepony else now. However, Fluttershy frowned, and said to herself "Oh, i'm a freak." and began to shed a tear. She cried to herself for ten minutes, but then, she realized something. She realized that a bat pony can do whatever she pleases. She realized that she is a very lucky mare to become a bat pony. "I... I feel.... a little braver... all of a sudden." she said with a thought. "And... I... I got fangs." she began to smile.
Now, she began to be more calm, like everything is going to be fine. However, she felt like she has a new appetite for.... blood. An evil smile appeared on her face, and had an idea.

"I think I know what i'm supposed to do know." Said Fluttershy. She had an idea alright, a very, very, wicked, and evil idea. "I think It's time I give everypony in Ponyville a.... acupuncture." All of a sudden, she thought of Spike, the baby dragon. She decided to save him for later, and save him for last. "I'll just give Spike a little surprise once I.... alter my friends." she said wickedly. Then she went out into Ponyville in the night, giggling in an adorable, yet evil laugh.
Thus, a new omen in all of Ponyville, and soon, all of Equestria will witness on this terrible night. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
