Hair of the Bear That Bit You...

Chapter Three
Hair of the Bear That Bit You...

“Oh my,” said Zecora,

“You did not understate,”

as she peered out the window,

“their numbers are great.”

“Their our friends,” added Twilight,

“somehow they transformed,

do you know any cure,

to restore them to norm?”

“Restore them I can,

but the cure is quite rare,

and I’ll still need a hair,

from the original Werebear.”

Zecora’s words,

left Twilight alarmed,

how could she find the bear,

and come away unharmed?

Then a thought occurred,

she wish confirmed,

based on something,

she had earlier discerned.

“Zecora,” she said,

“please say if I’m right,

do Were’s only change,

when bathed in moonlight?”

“Indeed,” I replied,

“the full moon causes change,”

and when it cannot be seen,

they change back again.”

“Spike take a letter,

Dear Princess, a boon,

please ask your sister,

to lower the moon,”

“We are at Zecora’s,

and are quite beset,

our friends are all Werebears,

and are poising a threat.”

Spike sent the letter,

the reply came quite fast,

(since Celestia was sneaking,

a nightly cake repast).

“Dear Twilight,” said she,

“Luna’s making her rounds,

making sure ponies,

all dream safe and sound,”

“dawn is far from now,

and she won’t be back soon,

and since she is who raised it,

I can’t lower the moon,”

“I’ve sent a message to Cloudsdale,

to have many clouds made,

but it make take a while,

until they arrive bringing aid,”

“I would suggest until then,

that you try to hold out,

try talking with them,

to try to work something out.”

“Try TALKING to them?”

Twilight said in alarm,

“they’re huge freaking bears,

intent on doing us harm!”

“I know it sounds odd,”

Spike said in reply,

“but the princess said do it,

so let’s give it a try.”

“Is a Were, still aware?”

Twilight asked quite confused,

Spike just pointed upstairs,

and shook his head unamused,

So out from the window,

upon the very top floor,

Twilight leaned out,

and to her friends spoke once more.

“Um girls if you please,”

Twilight said hesitating,

“could I have your attention,”

then the bears paused their pacing,

“TWILIGHT,” roared Bearity,

“my this IS a treat,

please do come and join us,

for something to eat!”

“Yes please,” Flutterbear said,

“We could ALL use a bite,

come down and join us,

oh please say you might.”

An entreaty by bears,

caused Twi much trepidation,

“Is this offer open,

to some negotiation?”

In response Rainbear Dash,

and Flutterbear tried,

to fly up to the window,

as Twi backed up inside,

but their weight was to much,

for their wings to gain height,

and they kept falling down,

both try as they might.

“I’ll get us in,”

Applebear shouted,

and began bucking the door,

while inside Spike pouted,

“It’s no use,” he exclaimed,

as he paced round the room,

Applejack was quite strong,

Applebear spells our doom.”

But then suddenly,

out from the bushes a sound,

made all the Werebears,

stop and turn around,

for out hopped Angel,

with another in tow,

one all could make out.

By the bright full moons glow,

half the size of a bear,

bunny ears, face and tail,

it was a Werebunny bear,

all could tell without fail,

the other bears backed away,

as Angel approached,

and then all of them flinched,

at his glare of reproach,

Unhindered the two,

made their way to the entrance,

and waited on someone,

to render assistance,

Hesitantly then Spike,

let the two of them in,

and then Angel made motions,

to explain where he’d been,

he pantomimed tracking,

down this Werebunny,

which upon close inspection,

they all thought looked quite funny,

“So wait,” Twilight said,

trying not to be scared,

“are you telling me,

YOU created this Were?”

Angel gave a nod,

all smiles and honey,

“But both day and night,

you still are a bunny!”

“Oh Twilight,” said Spike.

“It’s obvious to me,

the Were that bit Angel,

was another Werebunny.”

Again Angel nodded,

And Twilight said “So,

when the full moon comes out,

into a new bunny you grow?”

Again Angel nodded,

up at Twilight with glee,

“Hmm,” Twilight said,

you DO seem different to me,”

“So by day you are mean,

but by the light of a full moon,

you turn really nice,

and lose all your gloom”.

Again Angel agreed,

as Twilight he nuzzled,

which she found quite nice,

but left Zecora puzzled,

“So should the bear I cure,

and let the bunny endure?

Or cure the bunny for sure,

and then render all of them pure?”

Both Twilight and Spike,

gave each head a shake,

“Let’s give Fluttershy three nights,

a month as a break.”

So from the bunny bear,

a cure was soon mixed,

and when it was tested,

the bear was soon fixed,

Then as Alpha Were,

Angel ordered the bears,

to drink up the cure,

while at them he glared.

Soon all of their friends,

were ponies once more,

and they made their way back,

to Fluttershy’s door,

As they left Flutters and Angel,

Pinkie said, “It’d have been more funny,

if Angel had bit us,

and made all of us Werebunnies.”

The other four facehoof’d,

as they made their way home,

“Pinkie remind me never,

to leave you and Angel alone...”

Suddenly a gentle rapping could be heard on the front of Zecora’s door.

“It seems we have some company, let’s find out who’s come to see me.” Zecora said getting up and opening the door.”Nice to have you coming by, please come inside dear Fluttershy.”

“Um, thank you Zecora.” Fluttershy said hesitantly.

“Would you care to have some tea? I was just telling these fillies another story.” Zecora said gesturing at the Crusaders.

“Um, no thank you. Actually I was sent to come and pick them up. There’s a celebration starting soon in the Crystal Empire because we defeated a villain named Sombra, and Applejack and Rarity thought their sisters would enjoy it. Your welcome to come as well Scootaloo.” Fluttershy said to the young Pegasus.

“All right!” Scootaloo replied jumping up and moving to hug Fluttershy.

Just then Angel Bunny stuck his head out from inside Fluttershy’s mane and bearing two huge fangs began to hiss at Scootaloo. All three Crusaders screamed at the same time. “Werebunny!” they said, and then fled out the front door.

“Oh Angel,” Fluttershy said chidingly. “She was only going to give me a hug, you don’t have to be so jealous.”

Zecora peered at the fanged bunny suspiciously, “Fluttershy, not to sound dumb, but where did Angel’s fangs come from?”

“Oh that?” Fluttershy said embarrassed. “Well, Angel found them after the final battle. We tried to get him to give them up, but he got so fussy about it, we just decided to let him keep them. Twilight thinks they might be all that remains of Sombra...”
