It was the next night, and Harry and Marv stormed up to Fluttershy's cottage, seething with anger. "I'll get you my filly, and all your little traps too," said Harry, his left eye twitching. "What's wrong with your eye?" "I'm suffering from acute 'Sweetiebelleitis'." "Oh no, is it contagious?" "Shut up. You take the front door, I'll go around the back." "Okay." Marv cautiously approached the front door of Fluttershy's cottage, keeping a watch for all sorts of traps. As he approached the door, he knocked. The door swung open without resistance, revealing a pie on a loaded spring. "Oh-" KLANG! the pie tin resounded when it met Marv's face. Coconut creme splattered everywhere and Marv scraped his face off the tin. Spitting a tooth out of his mouth, he walked over the spring catapult in Fluttershy's living room and walked in. "Hello? Sweetiebelle?" "She is currently unavailable," came Sweetiebelle's voice from around the corner, "But you may feel free to speak to her secretary, Madam Bear." A big, hairy grizzly walked around the corner and Marv froze in fear. "Oh... H-h-hello M-m-m-m-m-mrs. B-b-b-bear. Am I t-tress-s-s-s-s-spassing? I'll l-l-l-leave right n-n-n-n-n-," The bear swatted Marv out the door and roared. Then, with a shake of her head and a snort, she slammed the door shut. Marv bolted around to the other side of the house and wrapped his hooves around Harry. "Marv- What the? Get OFF!" Harry said, prying Marv off of him. "Can I stay with you Harry? There are animals around here." "Marv, what do you think we are? 'sigh' Come on." Harry snapped the lock and entered the cottage, followed closely by Marv. "L-l-l-look out for the b-b-b-b-b-bear. He's in the l-l-l-living room." "Shh. Come on." "And he's really scary." Harry and Marv walked into Fluttershy's kitchen. They were met by an angry bunny wielding a carrot peeler and a evil expression. "Don't worry Marv," Harry said, teasingly comforting his friend, "I won't let it hurt you." "Uh, Harry..." Marv said, shaking, "That bunny has a-" "Oh come on Marv," said Harry, rubbing the bunny's ears, "It's just a cute, widdle, bunny wabbit. What's it gonna do?" Angel bunny (for of course it was he) growled and began swinging the peeler wildly about. After a few moments, he stopped to catch his breath. "Ha, ha," said Harry, "Ya missed." Angel grinned sadistically and clapped his paws together. Both Harry and Marv's tails and manes, (though Harry still didn't have that much of a mane), fell to the ground. They had been neatly separated from their heads by the utensil-holding bunny. "I'll get you for this..." hissed Harry. Angel grabbed a black napkin from the cupboard, tied it around his neck, and ran between the two ponies. Their was a sound of a swinging peeler and both Harry and Marv inspected their sides. They both had a large 'A' shaved on their flanks next to their cutie marks. "Why you little..." Harry started. Angel Bunny turned around, gave a coy smile and jumped out the window onto a waiting Sweetiebelle. Angel Bunny waved his paw in the air, motioning Sweetiebelle to ride away. "You're kidding, right?" she asked, with a raised eyebrow. Angel waved his paw more wildly and started making angry noises. "What do you think you are? An action hero?" Angel Bunny slapped Sweetiebelle on the rear. "Do you want me to tell my sister about you buster?" Angel glared and Sweetiebelle and slapped her again. "She'll tell Fluttershy," Sweetie taunted. Angel's eyes bugged out and he immediately began twiddling his paws and whistling. "That's more like it," Sweetiebelle said. Then, turning to Harry and Marv she said, "You know, if you want to go... Now's the time." "You think we'll give up?" Harry yelled, "NEVER!" "Very well, but you have been warned." Sweetiebelle and Angel galloped around the house, undoubtedly to prepare the next trap. "I betcha that bear's hiding around here somewhere." "Marv," said Harry, inspecting his 'A', "If you don't shut up, that bear'll be the least of your problems." They continued to creep through the house until they entered the living room. There was no bear around. Harry glared at Marv. "Scary bear in the living room huh?" "I tell you he was here." "She." "Who said that?" Marv asked, eyes darting about. "Me." came Sweetie's familiar voice, "And like I already said. Beartha Bearly is a lady. Oh Beartha!" The ground beneath Harry and Marv began to move. Suddenly they noticed that the seemingly innocent rug was in fact a bear lying flat on the ground. "AHHHHHHH!" screamed Harry and Marv as Beartha picked them up in her enormous paws. She threw them out the front door and an army of cardinals chased them off the property. Sweetiebelle bro-hoofed Angel and Beartha and then yelled out the door, "See ya tomorrow night!"
