Applejack pointed to her soon to be prize-winning apple. "Them vampire bats want to shrivel it up like a raisin!"
"Oh, I'm sure if we just let them know how special that particular apple is to you, they'll leave it alone."
Staring disbelievingly at Fluttershy, Applejack waved a hoof toward the bats. "Yeah... right. Be my guest."
Fluttershy trotted off to them, talking to them in the distance for a moment before happily trotting back.
"Well," Applejack prodded, "what'd they say?"
She smiled. "They'll be happy to leave your big apple alone, and I've gotten them to agree to leave your healthy trees alone and go share the west orchard with the regular fruit bats."
"Oh." Applejack blinked. "Alrightey then. You're sure they can be trusted?"
Fluttershy nodded. "They swore on bats' honor. And besides, if they misbehave, I can always come back with the stare."
"Huh... well... I guess that's settled." Applejack blushed slightly. "False alarm, everypony. Y'all can go home now."

Hm... yes.
I like mine better, though, because Fluttershy finally got a chance to be OP.
There we go, no need for a pointless argument and Fluttershy doesn't become a vampony.
Next one up is number 2 in my top 10 favourite episodes, I'm sure you have something good.
No magical accidents, no Flutterbat, and no more ruined apples, especially that giant red apple that they had to sacrifice in the episode. Yay.

'Good'... right.

Of course. ^.^
Also, Twilight could have murder-blasted all the bats, but I wanted an opportunity for Fluttershy to be OP.
Hooray, no villainizing Applejack or making Fluttershy's decision seem like the only correct choice!

People are always so happy about the things this fic doesn't have. ^.^
I am sure Fluttershy will be able to turn into a bat pony eventually. Heck, I bet she can do it now.
And with this, you have caught up to Ultra Fast Pony. I suppose that makes you the new Ultra Fast Pony. Actually, to become the new Ultra Fast Pony, you will have to surpass the old Ultra Fast Pony, so, technically, after the next chapter you will be the new Ultra Fast Pony. Anyway, here is a premature congratulations for becoming the new Ultra Fast Pony. And here is to more premature things to come.

Wait...

6509945 You poor, poor thing.
I just realized that I can't comment anymore. My last comment had a video that killed the fun. :P I guess its for the best.
