//------------------------------// // The return of Flutterbat...and a surprising new discovery // Story: So this is the human world? // by Dark Nightshade //------------------------------// Candy Burn stared straight ahead and blinked. "Ookay. That was an interesting topic," she said slowly. She and the rest of the animated girls were in Pinkie's house, watching a video from the schools Sex-Ed class. Taissy shrugged. "Well, I find it interesting. It actually is different from pony sex. Not how it works, but other then that, different," she said. "Ok, I have to take your word on that," Candy Burn said. "Why take our word for it when we can find you a guy?" Three commented, causing Candy Burn to blush and ignore the comment. "I honestly wonder if either of these work with us," Fioralba commented. "After all, we were created with a spell." It was Taissy's turn to shrug. "Hypothetically, the only way to find out would be to do it and see if we get pregnant," she said. "But you won't. Not for a while," Princess Twilight said sternly, but with a grin. "Probably," Taissy said. "Taissy, do I really need to remind you that you're made of metal?" Princess Twilight asked. Taissy frowned. "And?" she asked. "No offense, but I'm assuming that it would really hurt the guy trying to have sex with you," Princess Twilight said. "Well, depending on how hard the man is, the more it would hurt. Unless Taissy's inside metal is softer then her outside metal," Sci-Twi said. Everyone else started blushing, with Taissy blushing the hardest. "Yeah, only my skeleton and right arm are made of metal," she said awkwardly. "Really?" Sci-Twi asked. "Interesting." "Eh, it makes sense," Princess Twilight said. "So are there any moon cycles that can help get the woman pregnant?" Fioralba asked. Sci-Twi shrugged. "I don't think so. However, there is a full moon tonight," she said. Ponyshy meeped and shared a look with Three. "That's tonight?" she asked, sounding slightly alarmed. "Yes, that's tonight. Why?" Sci-Twi asked. "I believe Fluttershy is paranoid about the moon and what it can do to both people and animals," Three said. "Really?" Princess Twilight asked. "Is that why you're never in bed on those nights?" Ponyshy blushed. "Yes. I didn't want to wake you up or worry you though!" she said. "Somehow, you just got cuter," Princess Twilight said, causing Ponyshy's blush to deepen. "So, am I going to get an answer?" Candy Burn asked. "Oh, right," Princess Twilight said, having forgotten about Candy Burn's question. "A while ago at Sweet Apple Acres- and this is the Equestrian one- Applejack was having a problem with vampire fruit bats, so she got me and rest of the girls to help out. Conveniently, Fluttershy has this stare that can freeze animals. Applejack convinced Fluttershy to use it on the bats while I casted a spell on them to make them stop eating apples. The bad thing is I somehow transferred vampire fruit bat DNA to Fluttershy, which caused her to transform into some kind of vampire pony. Even though vampire fruit bats prefer apples, they will attack ponies, but that's really rare. Fortunetly, Applejack had this unnaturally big apple that was able to attract Flutterbat- that's what we called her in that form- and I managed to remove the vampire fruit bat DNA from her." Candy Burn scratched her chin. "That is pretty cool," she said. "One of my mom's used to be a vampire!" Ponyshy blushed. "Really? Interesting. If only I could get some DNA samples of this Flutterbat form," Sci-Twi said. "Who knows how much good that could do!" "Yeah, I don't think it'll do any good," Princess Twilight said. "It was kind of violent." That night after everyone had gone to bed (including a sugar crashed Pinkie), Candy Burn got out of bed. Why can't I sleep? she thought. Maybe some food will help. She walked down the stairs and opened the fridge. "Wow, that's a lot of whipped cream," she muttered. "Candy Burn?" she heard someone say. She spun around to find Fluttershy. "Oh, hey Mom," she said. "Let me guess, you can't sleep, right?" Fluttershy asked. Candy Burn nodded. "I think I'm still adjusting to this world," she said. "You could say that," Fluttershy said. "What do you mean by that?" Candy Burn asked, tilting her head. "You mean you don't remember?" Fluttershy asked. "Remember what?" Candy Burn asked. Fluttershy was silent for a few seconds. "I'm still a vampire," she finally said. "What?" Candy Burn asked, surprised. "I thought that that form was banished? "Temporarily," Fluttershy said. "And I passed it on to you." "I'm a vampire?" Candy Burn asked. "Awesome!" "It's not as awesome as it sounds," Fluttershy said. "Can you control it?" Candy Burn asked. "Kind of. After a while you start to keep your personality, unless the moon is special," Fluttershy said. Suddenly she started twitching. A few seconds later, so did Candy Burn. "Get outside!" Fluttershy hissed. "It's finally happening!" "Ow, my head," Candy Burn groaned. "What happened?" she opened her eyes to see Three. She looked around to see that she was in her room with Ponyshy. "Do you remember anything from last nights transformation?" she asked. "What transformation?" Candy Burn asked. And then she remembered. Brief flashes of memory flowed thru her head as she remembered attacking apple trees as she and Flutterbat sucked apples dry. "Nevermind, I remember," she said. "Did we hurt anyone?" Fluttershy shook her head. "No, Three was there to make sure we didn't," she said. Candy Burn turned to Three. "Thank you Three," she said. Three shrugged. "It is my duty to make sure no one gets hurt," she said.
