> Night of the Werewolf > by Vinyl-ScratchDJ17 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Go Get The Stick, Girl! Go Get The Stick! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been another long and exciting day for Vinyl. A bit exhausting at the same time, but well worth it. Blasting Dubstep all day with her Co-worker: Neon Lights. Normally she'd sit at home and trash the place, listening to her music, but it wasn't worth it without Octavia there to nag at her about it. She had been away making her own classical music, as well as to play a concert all the way in Manehattan. So you could say Vinyl usually used Neon as a last ditch attempt of finding something to do. She now finds herself walking home, as Celestia's sun slowly disappeared beyond the horizon, giving way to the light of the full moon. As usual, she had been listening to her music in her headphones as she trotted along. Being a world famous Dj, she had always been getting waves and hello's, to which she would just nod to, since she found waving back gets tiring. Being nighttime, there weren't that many ponies out to wave in the first place. Her head bobbed to the beat of her music as she trotted along to the music. She hadn't seen Octavia in a day or so, except if it were her sleeping during the night which didn't really count. Once home, she trotted up to the door, unlocking it, she walked into the dark house, assuming Octavia had fallen asleep by now. Through her music which she had turned down a notch, she heard an unusual noise coming from her room. It sounded like a growl, and a whinny sort of at the same time. She simply ignored it since she assumed she had just been hearing things and she continued into the kitchen to chow down on any possible leftovers. Once there, she pulled open the refrigerator door, filling the dark space with a little light, staring into the almost empty fridge as usual. There was a quarter pint of milk, a wrapped up half eaten sandwich which had belonged to Octavia. Other than that, there was a small cherry pie, only half eaten. Vinyl shrugged, deciding to settle for some pie. She pulled it out in her blue aura of magic, softly kicking the door shut behind her, making the house dark once again. She took a clean fork from the sink, getting ready to take the first bite as she leaned against the counter, as she stood on her hind legs. She had a piece of the pie on her fork as she brought it closer to her mouth until she heard a loud deafening scream/howl come from her room. "Octy?" She put the pie and her headphones down as she went to investigate. She heard grunts and growls, as she slowly went up the stairs. Her whole body shook with fear as she placed one hoof in front of the other as she slowly ascended the stairs. "Vinyl!" Cried a voice that sounded like Octavia's. Now with the thought her marefriend could be in danger, she bolted up the stairs as fast as she could, bucking the door open to her room. "Octy what's wrong?!" She had conjured up a magical bat to swing at what ever was in the room with her special somepony, but quickly faded as Octavia was the only one in the room. She lay on the bed with her forelegs over her stomach, the bed spreads had been thrown to the floor. Octavia tossed and turned, moaning and growling a lot like a dog or wolf. "Octy what's wrong?" Vinyl hurried over to the stressed mare's side, attempting to calm her down. Octavia turned to look at her with yellow slitted eyes. "St-Stay away from me!" She screamed as her body changed under the light of the moon, her pupils small as pebbles, blood dripped from her hooves, and mouth as they became more wolf like. "I don't want...to...to hurt...you..." Her body went limp as she fainted, her fur and mane frazzled, paws replaced her hooves, sharp fangs going just past her lips. Her ears became more pointed and her hooves turned to paws as her bones shifted and snapped with a sickening crack. Long claws erupted from each toe, as well as her teeth becoming sharper. Vinyl stared in shock, backed against the wall, as the wolf-like creature lifted itself from the floor with a low growl. It turned to Vinyl, canines bared. It rose its head and let out a loud, mournful howl, and attacked. Vinyl by now had been scared past her wits, and having read a fair amount of folklore herself, expected to be mauled. But instead, It licked her... It was smiling, and panting as it held her on the ground, licking her cheeks, and all over her face. "Octy, Octy, come on you fooled me already, now get off!" Vinyl giggled as she pushed the wolf off of her. She stared at Octy as she began to whimper, head low and tail between her legs. Vinyl studied her closer. "This...isn't a trick...is it?" She stepped closer. "You're...a werewolf..." She looked Octavia in the eyes, the same yellow pupils with the yellow slits remained as she began panting again, her tongue lolling out of her mouth. "Why...aren't you attacking me then...can you speak still?" The wolf yipped, licking Vinyl's cheek again as her tail wagged playfully. "Why didn't you ever tell me, Octy? I would have understood." Vinyl approached the wolf and hugged her. Octavia only continued to pant with her joyful smile. "This is why you always came up with some random reason to leave the house. Wasn't it?" She stared into Octavia's eyes once again. She giggled as the wolf raised her flank in the air with her head to the floor. "You wanna play, Octy?" Upon being asked, she began jumping and running and circles around Vinyl, yipping and barking happily. "You're a cute little werewolf aren't you?" Vinyl cooed when Octavia came to a stop in front of her. She smiled, rubbing her mare/wolffriend's mane. "Let's go outside and play, huh?" Vinyl began walking back down the stairs, unable to process the fact her marefriend happened to be a werewolf, which she only thought existed in folklore and fairy tales and whatnot. At the bottom of the steps, she began down the hallway to the backyard. Octavia ran over to the door, claws clicking on the wood floor scratching and whimpering at it. Vinyl couldn't help the smile that appeared on her face, as she giggled from Octavia's undeniable cuteness. As she approached the door, she unlocked and opened it with her magic, as Octavia leaped outside, and began prancing and running about the fenced in yard. Vinyl stood on the patio, watching with a smile as the wolf picked up a stick and came running back to her with it. "You wanna play fetch, girl?" She asked, and was surprised when she nodded as she sat, wagging her tail. "Okay, give me the stick!" She grabbed onto the stick with both hooves, and pulled but to no avail. She grunted as Octavia sat there effortlessly holding her back, as if she were a ton of bricks, staring into Vinyl's eyes. "Give...me...the stick!" She heaved as hard as she could as the wolf finally let go. Vinyl flew backwards, landing on her rump. "Jeez you're strong!" Vinyl huffed as she threw the stick. Octy panted loudly as she ran after it, Vinyl watched with a small smile. "You, Octavia are really something." A few seconds later she came back, Vinyl was laying on the patio, staring up at her under the moon, her messy mane shining under it's light. She got up, and again tried to pry the stick from the wolf's mouth. "Can you at least make it less hard, you silly mutt?" Vinyl said with a small giggle as Octavia willingly let go. "Now go get it, girl!" Again she went out to chase the stick, and this time she managed to jump and catch it before it even hit the ground. She began to trot back, until she stopped, dropping the stick, lifting a hind leg. Her nose scrunched up as she... "Awe, Octy, now I'm gonna have to pick that up!" Vinyl whined. "Stay out here I'm gonna go get a bag for that. Vinyl trotted back inside, and Octavia obeyed her orders and sat on the patio as Vinyl went inside. She stared at the white door, not moving a single muscle in her body, waiting eagerly for her master to return. Vinyl came back out a minute later, only to be knocked down again by an overly excited Octavia who began licking her all over again. "Hey come on that tickles!" She giggled as the wolf licked her. "I love you too, Octy, now let me up!" She smiled as Octavia removed herself, panting still along with her wagging tail. "To be honest, I'm kinda jealous you're a werewolf." Said Vinyl as she went to pick up the mess Octy made, but she found nothing. "Hey, where is it?" She asked, turning back to Octavia who whimpered slightly. "Where Octy?" The wolf gingerly lowered her head to the ground, and began hacking, and a blob of you know what fell to the ground. "EEEEWWWW! And you were just licking me!" Vinyl scolded. Octavia's whimpers continued. "I'm not mad, just don't do it again, okay?" Vinyl said as she hugged Octavia. "Now, then." She let go for a second to pick up Octavia's droppings, disposing of them in the garbage can on the patio. "Now come on wanna play fetch again?" The wolf looked at her with a tilted head for a second, until she flopped onto her back in the grass, with her paws in the air. "Oh, you want me to wub your tummy?" Vinyl cooed as she ran her hoof in circles on Octavia's stomach. She panted loudly as Vinyl lay next to her in the grass. "Octy, if you can hear me in there, I love you." She smiled as she kissed the wolf's nose, the whiskers tickled her muzzle. They lay there in the grass for a while, under the full moon as Vinyl rubbed Octavia's stomach. "I'm getting kind of tired, Octy." Vinyl yawned loudly. "It's past midnight I'm sure. Wanna go to bed?" Vinyl asked, getting a lick as her answer. "I'll take that as a yes." She got up and began to walk towards the house, when she felt a sharp pain in her hind leg. She quickly turned her head to see Octavia with her teeth partially sunk into her left hind leg. "You bit me!" Her eyes began to tear up, but for only a few seconds. "Wait... you bit me!" She cheered as she hugged Octavia close who began licking her cheek. "This is so awesome! Did you do this for me?" Octavia gave Vinyl one big wet lick on the cheek. "Wow, thanks Octy! Who's a good doggy for making me a werewolf?!" She giggled as she hugged Octavia close. She then looked at herself, waiting for the changes to take place, but nothing happened. "Maybe tomorrow night." She shrugged. "Now let's go to bed." She smiled as her werewolf friend followed closely behind as they entered the bedroom. She was about to, when an unusual stench emitted from Octavia's coat. "First let's give you a bath, shall we? Octavia only yipped in joy as she ran off to the bathroom. Vinyl followed after her, letting out a long yawn. "Dang I'm sleepy." She moaned as she entered the bathroom where Octavia was waiting in the tub. "At least you seem wide awake." She sighed as she turned the bathroom light on. Vinyl turned the water on, using both the cold and hot knobs to get the water warm as it began to spray out of the shower head. The wolf closed her eyes as she let the water run down her back, washing the dirt out of her messy fur which had become longer from her transformation. "I'll try to make this quick okay?" Vinyl said as she took the bar of soap with her magic, rubbing it along Octavia's body. Soon enough she was covered in suds, panting and yipping now and again. She wagged her tail the whole time, splashing water all over as she stood in the tub. Vinyl then used her magic to rinse the bubbles off with the shower head. As soon as that was done, the next task at hand was to dry her off. She levitated a towel over from the nearby towel rack, about to rub Octavia down with it, until she began to shake her whole body. Water sprayed everywhere... "Awe, come on Octy, that's another mess I have to clean up!" vinyl groaned, followed by a heavy sigh. Just like before, Octavia began to whimper sadly, with her tail between her legs. "Stay there." Vinyl began wiping up the mess which took a while to clean up. She had to use a few towels to clean it all up. "Now, let ME dry you off." Vinyl said as she brought a new towel over to Octavia. "Sit." She ordered as she pointed to the floor just outside the tub. Octavia listened as Vinyl began to rub her down. "Good girl! Who's a good puppy?" Vinyl giggled and kissed Octavia on the forehead as she finished drying her off. "Now lets get to bed, okay?" Octavia nodded. Vinyl couldn't help but smile. She thought she was going to be mauled to bits and pieces when she transformed, but instead here she is, forming a bond with her marefriend's werewolf side. She felt kind of sad since she knew she'd be back to normal in the morning. Vinyl led her into the bedroom once again. She climbed into her side of the bed, covering herself with the covers. She waited for Octavia to lay next to her, but came to find she was curled up at the end of the bed. "Octyyyy." Vinyl moaned. The wolf turned her head to look at her from her name being called. "You're supposed to lay by me!" She tapped the spot next to her, as Octavia got up and laid next to her. "Good girl." Vinyl smiled as she cuddled into the werewolf, nuzzling her cheek as she fell asleep. "Goodnight Octy." She whispered as they both fell into a deep slumber. Vinyl still couldn't register the fact the mare she had known all her life had been a werewolf for she doesn't know how long. She felt kind of sad she didn't find out earlier, since she had really enjoyed spending time with her marefriend turned wolf. She had even bit her, to make her just like herself, but in a way to not hurt her too much. Vinyl found her self impatient for the following night to come where she'd officially become a werewolf just like Octavia. ***** The following morning "Vinyl, that's absurd!" Octavia said in her defense as she joined her newly made werewolf marefriend at the table in the kitchen. "Werewolves don't exist!" She said blushing nervously. "Octy, it's fine, we had lots of fun last night. We played fetch, you ate your own poooop, I rubbed your belly, and we went to bed!" "Wait what? Say that again." Octy said, unbelieving to what she just heard. "We played fetch, I rubbed your belly, and we went to bed!" Vinyl cheered, with a wide smile. "No, the part between those two." "Oh, you ate your own poop." She deadpanned as she sucked down the last of the milk. "WHAT?! I did not do that! Okay I admit I'm a werewolf since you seem so happy about it, but I highly doubt I ate my own poop!" "Well, when I went to clean it up, I asked where it was, and you spat it out." "Oh, I think I'm going to be sick!" She ran over to the sink where she turned the faucet on, and began sloshing water into her mouth. "I can't believe I did that!" "And you bit me too." "Okay, I don't believe that part!" She snapped. "See for yourself!" Vinyl lifted her hind leg up onto the table where several canine tooth marks were, forming the bite mark of a wolf. "Then that means..." Vinyl smiled. "I'm a werewolf too, and proud of it." She put on her headphones again, turning her music all the way up as Octavia's eyes rolled into her head and she fainted. Vinyl sat there, listening to her beats as she stared at her bite mark, eager for the full moon tonight. Octavia eventually came back to a few minutes later when there was a knock at the door. Vinyl saw the pony in the window as she got up to open the door, removing her headphones from her ears. "Yeesss?" She asked. It was a white unicorn stallion who looked rather irritated, with bags under his reddened eyes. "Whatever dog it is you might have, try to keep it quiet because, I barely got any sleep last night!" He roared, huffing and puffing. Vinyl only nodded to this as she closed the door. "Ugh...who was it?" Octavia groaned, rubbing her aching head with a hoof. "Nobody, but you gotta try and keep it down tonight when you turn, because the next door neighbor couldn't sleep over your barking." "Oh..." They stared at each other for a few seconds before bursting out into dying laughter. > I Refuse to Stay Home! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally the sun had begun to set again, and Vinyl had been watching the moon rise again out of her bedroom window, happily waiting for her first transformation. She knew it's gonna hurt when it comes to it, but she doesn't mind as long as she gets to see what she looks like as a wolf. And the whole time, the thought of her being a werewolf replayed itself in her head, and she felt pretty happy about it. Octavia on the other hand was simply laying next to her eager friend on the bed, just waiting for the pain to come and be over with. When she found out she was a werewolf, she thought she turned into a vecious beast every full moon, but never herd of anypony being 'mauled', bitten to shreds, or something. And based on what Vinyl told her, all she wanted was to play and cuddle. She was at least glad she wasn't a cold blooded murderer. "Vinyl, I think you've changed already by the way you're acting." Octavia giggled as her Vinyl stared up at the moon, her tongue hanging from her mouth, and her tail swishing faster than usual. "Oh, hush Octy! I'm actually getting really impatient." Vinyl huffed in her defense. "So, you're really happy about this? You can't wait to start the transformation where you bones snap and crack as they reshape, and your hooves turn to bloody paws because the claws end up cutting you as they come out. And the teeth with is an unbearable pain, and the sharp throbbing pain in your stomach? That's what you're happy about?" "Well, I..." Vinyl began as she thought about what Octavia just said. "Does it really hurt that bad?" "Probably five times more of what you're thinking." "Oh..." Vinyl slumped down back into a laying position, starting to have second thoughts about being a werewolf. "Vinyl, make sure I don't eat my own poop this time, okay? Even though you have no control over the body after you change." "Heh...I'll try." Vinyl looked at her hooves, still waiting to see what they look like as wolf paws. "I wonder what I'll look like, still." "Basically a wolf version of yourself. So just picture a wolf, and give it your features." "Oh, okay. I...I just till can't believe we're werewolves! It sound so awes- OW!" Vinyl shrieked, as she doubled over, clutching her stomach. "Dear Celestia this hurts!" "I told you!" Octavia attempted to laugh at her friend, but she too was going through the massive bodily pain as her body began to turn into a wolf body. She soon heard a loud thump on the floor. Ocravia turned around to see Vinyl had fallen off the bed. "You silly filly!" Octavia grunted through the pain, trying to keep back the tears. "M-my hooves are changing!" Vinyl somewhat cheered as she watched four small furry toes come from where her hooves should have been. She watched in awe, as much as she could as the claws came through. "Owwwwwwwww!!!" "A-are you still happy about this, Vinyl?" Octavia asked through her sharpening teeth, going from equine molars to lupine canines. Thump...thump...thump...thump!! "It...hurts...so...much!" "Vinyl?" Octavia looked to her friend who's groans became growls as she thumped her head on the end table, making the lamp on top of it begin to shake. She watched as Vinyl's mane/fur/and tail became fluffier and messier with her transformation, as well as her ears becoming wider and pointier. "Octy..." Vinyl turned her head to face her beloved marefriend, as she became dizzy and light headed. Octavia herself on the other hoof was handling...hoofling? It better, but her throbbing head proved too much and she fainted, giving way to the wolf inside, but not before uttering a long howl like the other night. She had been half on and off the bed when she did, thus making her fall on top of Vinyl who was managing to keep her consciousness. "Ugh, get off, Octy!" Vinyl moaned, as she pushed her unconscious friend off of her. Being a 'work hard, play hard' pony, this pain was actually nothing compared to some of the fights she had gotten into at the bar while being drunk, so she actually managed to stay awake for the transformation. To her, everything hurt as the final changes took place, and then nothing. It all just faded in an instant. She felt no more pain as she was in her full wolf form. She looked herself over, having paws, with claws, sharp teeth in a more canine muzzle, and she could no longer see in color, but everything sounded ans smelled so much stronger. Her fur had become a mess, just like Octavia's, and she still had her own thoughts. But now...she felt more energized...like she could gallop a mile...or play frisbee, or sniff another mutt's...wait what? She smiled wide, and she didn't care. "YESSSS!!!!! I'm a fricking werewolf!" She hollered, throwing her front paws into the air. She then turned her attention back to Octavia who was starting to gain consciousness again as she lifted herself from the floor. "Octy!" She squeed as she held her 'wolffriend' in a tight hug. "V-Vinyl?" She answered weakly, gazing up into her magenta slitted eyes. "I don't understand..." She said as she had full control over what she was thinking and or doing. "Who cares, this is so awesome! Look at us!" "Yeah, we're wolves now, but how is it that we have control over it?" She pondered her thoughts as she put a paw to her chin. "Like I just said, who cares!?" "So...what now?" Octavia asked as she looked over herself. "I dunno. Wanna go grab a bite to eat? I'm hungry..." Vinyl said as she ran a paw over her growling stomach. "Vinyl we're wolves, remember? Nopony will understand us! I-it may sound like we're speaking Equestrian, but they will only hear barking." She stated. "Good point. Can we at least go for a walk on the town, then?" "Again, we're wolves, and if anypony saw us, knowing who we are, they'd probably freak." "Octavia. We're wolves, remember?" Vinyl mocked. "We aren't staying cooped up! It's my first time as a werewolf, and I refuse to stay stuck inside!" "Ugh, fine. It's getting late, I bet there's barely anypony out. Anywhere you might want to go?" "Hmmmm." Vinyl put a paw to her chin as she thought, until she saw her tail again. "Oooh what's this?" She turned to try and grab it, but it swished away from her. "Darn it, get over here, I wanna put you in my mouth!" She whined as she began chasing her own tail in circles without knowing it. She began panting, her tongue lolling out of her mouth. Octavia could only giggle as she watched, putting a paw over her mouth. "That's your tail you're chasing, Vinyl!" "And I want it!" She began to run faster and faster, within the small space between the wall and the bed, and eventually Smash! "Vinyl!" Octavia shouted as Vinyl pretty much ran her head right through the wall. "Help, I'm stuck!" Vinyl began to whimper as she tried to pull her head out. Octavia sighed with a roll of her eyes. "Ugh, no wonder why, you've got such a big fat head!" She grumbled as she went into the next room where Vinyl's face could be seen through the wall. "Let me help." She sighed again as she turned her back to Vinyl. She lifted a hind leg, and kicked. "Oww, Octy, you could have just pushed!" Vinyl moaned, rubbing her aching wolf muzzle with her paws. "Well, you deserved that, or do you want me to get the frying pan?" "I'm sorry, I'll shut up!" "Good! Now you get to patch up this hole tomorrow." She said as she trotted back into the room. "Now, how about we leave before you destroy the house even more, hmm?" "I liked it when the wolf had control because you were nice and cuddly. Now you're just mean and abusive." Vinyl mumbled. Octavia opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it. It's been all day Vinyl has been talking about tonight, how happy and peppy she seemed, and now that it's happened, Octavia finds herself being a stick in the mud towards her on her first night of being a wolf. "Okay, I'm sorry, Vinyl. We can try to go out to eat if you want to, but if we get into trouble, it's on you!" "Really?! Where are we gonna go?" Vinyl asked as her ears perked up "Anywhere that's even open at this time of night, and not the bar, because you know I hate going there!" She stomped a paw to show she means business as Vinyl got up from the floor. "Nah, how about we just go for a walk?" "Alright, let's go." Octavia said as she left the room and began down the stairs. "Wha, wait for me!" Vinyl quickly trotted after her as they approached the front door. "Need I try to remind you again that we are werewolves who usually stay hidden, yet we're about to go for a walk in plain sight?" "Octy, this is Ponyville! They'll freak a bit, but as long as we keep cool and don't make any sudden moves, they won't care. trust me on this one!" "Every time you tell me to trust you, I did because you're my marefriend and all, but every time, it ends up in disaster." "Come on Octy, pleaaasssee!?" Vinyl begged. "Okay, I'll trust that nothing in Equestria will go wrong, and we'll come back home safely." She sighed, as she opened the door, and this time it was Vinyl's turn to prance and run about. "See? There's nopony out here!" "Yeah, yeah." Octavia rolled her eyes as she joined her over excited friend outside. "Darn mutts keep your mouths shut!" Somepony yelled from a second story window. "See? They just hear barking. Now keep quiet. And just in case, I grabbed a few bits if you decided to try and buy something from somepony who's shop is still open, and somepony who won't freak out." "Ohh ohh! I hear Sugarcube Corner started working late nights, and the sun just set a bit go, so I bet it's still open!" "Okay...let's try there, then." Octavia couldn't help but giggle as Vinyl skipped, hopped, and jumped on their way there. "You're really enjoying that body of yours, aren't you?" "Well, duh! It's so fun!" She began running in circles around Octavia, panting, and tail wagging. "Didn't you say this is how I was acting last night? Overly happy, and excited?" Octavia asked as she only walked. "Pretty much!" Vinyl said as she jumped onto Octavia's back. "Oof! What are doing, Vinyl?" "Wolfy-back ride!" She cheered as she licked Octavia's cheek. "Ewwww, Vinyl!" "What, I can't help it!" "I'm starting to think you're too hyper to be going to Sugarcube Corner." "That is so not true!" She deadpanned a she was suddenly still on Octavia's back. "I'm not hyper." "You're being so cute I have to say." Octavia blushed upon making that comment. "Thanks. Ohh there it is!" Vinyl got off of Octy's back and ran as fast as she could. With the lights still on, and hopes still up, a happy Vinyl Scratch waltzed right into the establishment, 'staying cool and calm' like she said as she approached the counter. There were only two other mares there, sitting at a booth, who had been talking about Celestia knows what, and they didn't notice as a second wolf walked right in. Vinyl tapped the button on the bell, which then caught the attention of the mares who stared wide eyed at the two familiar looking wolves in front of them. Suddenly Pinkie Pie popped up from behind the counter. "Hii, welcome to Sugarcube Corner how...can I...help.......you......?" She stared at the two wolves, as the white unicorn wolf with purple shades spoke up. "Arp arp arp, rrrrufff uff ruff!" It said as it made gestures with its paw, and placed a few bits on the counter with its mouth from Octavia's satchel. "Oh, you want two double chocolate fudge cupcakes with whipped cream on top with white chocolate shavings?!" The pony answered, somehow knowing what Vinyl said. Vinyl nodded, confirming her purchase. "Rarrff arp!" She said. "Oh, it's no problem at all! But it's not everyday I get a couple of wolves coming in here looking like those popular musicians we have in town!" She said cheerfully as she gave a small clear box to the wolf that held the two cupcakes inside. "Enjoy!" "Told you it would work out." Vinyl smirked as she opened the box with her magic, giving a cupcake to Octavia as they sat in the booth behind the two other mares who had gone back to talking. "She only understood you because she's Pinkie Pie." Said Octavia as she took a bite from her cupcake, taking off the wrapper first. "I know. That's why I wanted to come here, because she'd somehow understand." Vinyl said as she turned back and waved to the Pink pony who smiled and waved back. "I guess. So, are you enjoying your first night of being a werewolf?" "Boy am I! Like, BEST.NIGHT. EVER!" She smiled as she popped the rest of the cupcake into her mouth. "Well, next to blasting wubs and beats and the club, you know?" "Yeah, I guess." "Are you enjoying it?" "Meh. I'm just hoping nothing bad happens." Octavia stated flatly as she finished her cupcake. "Mmmm, that was delicious! I say it was a good idea to come here." She smiled, leaning back into her seat as she rubbed her stomach. "Told you that you could trust me." She said as she gazed out of the window, but being inside, all she could really see was her reflection, which she smiled more upon.. "Look at us Octy. Different from the rest of civilization. Besides us, how many werewolves do you think there might be in Equestria?" "I couldn't tell you, Vinyl. Besides you and the one who made me a werewolf, I haven't come across any others that I know of." "Oh. I like being a werewolf so far." She said as she looked back to the grey, purple eyed wolf across the table from her. "Except for the transformation part...that hurts..." "That it does, Vinyl. So is there anything else you might want to do? I've still got a few bits left to spend on me." Said Octavia as she eyed the eight bits in her satchel. "Wanna go see a movie? I heard that new movie called "Awake When You're Asleep" movie is in theaters!" "Oh,um...what was that one about again?" "It's a horror movie about a colt who has the ability to leave his body when he's sleeping, and he goes around killing everpony that made his life miserable." "Oh, that one! My parents said it sounds dumb, but it was actually quite the thriller!" Octavia smiled as she nodded. "But..again about the whole being a werewolf thing..." "Octavia, I'm sure everypony will get used to us in time, because like I said before, I ain't staying in that house!" Vinyl crossed her forelegs across her chest. "I dunno..." "Octavia, come on! They'll probably recognize us since we still look like ourselves, so lets try to act natural!" "Okay, fine, lets go." Said Octavia as she got up from the table. "YESS!" Vinyl cheered as they began trotting out of the small shop. > Every Little thing...Its gonna be alright. Don't gotta worry...About a thing. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vinyl and Octavia trotted merrily through the streets of Ponyville, frightening a few ponies on the way of their wolf forms, but not intentionally of course. Octavia was just hoping tonight would be over already before 'anything bad happens'. Although Vinyl on the other hand was glowing with pride, and joy in each step she took. Little did they know what was soon to happen to their poor canine bodies due to what they ate. A little thing called chocolate. Octavia felt a low grumble in her stomach, feeling a bit uneasy. She shrugged it off as a gas bubble passing through as she trotted alongside her marefriend as she was walking along to the beat of her beat boxing. Vinyl experienced the same growl in her stomach shortly after Octavia had, but happy as she was, she never noticed it. She wished Octavia would have told her sooner she was a werewolf seeing how much she had enjoyed last night's events, but she was at least happy she could be joining Octavia on being a wolf. They soon approached the small theater, which Octavia questioned how would they even get in. Vinyl gave Octavia a look saying "I got this", and she took the small satchel of bits inside. Although Octavia was against it, she sighed and followed Vinyl inside. Upon seeing two large wolves entering the buildings, a few ponies screamed and ran out as fast as possible. A few hid, or were just too scared to move. The clerk was doing some paperwork, not paying attention as the two wolves approached. He looked up to see a white wolf at the counter, as it placed the eight bits in front of him. On top of the counter was an illustrated list of movies that were playing or were about to start. Vinyl placed a paw on the picture with the white, brown maned unicorn colt who wore an evil smirk, that was labeled "Awake When You're Asleep". The clerk was very shocked, surprised and frightened at the same time, as he let out a gasp. He wore a blue suit with a red tie and a blue shirt under it. He was a brown earth pony with ocean blue eyes and a slick black mane. He assumed it was just a couple of ponies who were in very realistic costumes. "Those are, uh...some nice costumes...especially with Nightmare Night around the corner, and i take it you want two tickets for "Awake When You're Asleep?" The white unicorn wolf gave a nod, and a little yip. "O-okay." He reached down int a drawer and pulled out two tickets which Vinyl took in her magic and nodded as she walked down the hallway to find the room that was playing their movie. She would have gotten popcorn, but she didn't have anymore bits to spend on it, and simple carbohydrates like that aren't good for you, since carbs turn into sugar, and being a simple carb, they don't make you feel full making you want more, meaning more sugar, which all turns into fat. The floor was covered in a bright red carpet, and the ceiling lined with bright lights, and the walls covered in posters for Nightmare Night and movies that were playing. Each door had a lit up sign with different movie titles above it. Again with more ponies coming and going, they either got scared, didn't care, or didn't even notice. "How did you do that?" Octavia asked in a hushed whisper. "Do what?" Binyl wondered with a tilt of her canine head. "Get him to let us in is what." "Oh, he thought we were just wearing costumes....were you not listening?" "Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't hear over the sound of screaming ponies!" She scolded. "Why are we whispering!?" "Because they hear barking, Vinyl! How many times do I have to tell you this!? If they figured us out we would be in so much trouble!" "Oh, yeah. I'm not used to it yet." "I still can't believe I'm letting you have us wander around in public like this!" Octavia groaned with a facepaw. "Octy, just have fun while you can, okay? Now let's go watch our movie!" Vinyl cheered as she was about to go in, until she bumped into somepony. "Ow, hey! Watch where you're going!" She yelled as she picked her shades up from the ground. She put them back on as she looked to see who had bumped into her. She was a cyan mare with magenta eyes and a Rainbow mane. "Oh, hey Dashie, whats up! That was a sick party we went to last week, uh!?" She said excitedly until she realized Rainbow couldn't understand her. "RRarff arf ruff arp arp bark bark rarf arp bark!" Was ass Rainbow heard as she stared at her friend in shock. "V-V-V-Vinyl?" "Great job, now look what you did, Vinyl!" Octavia said in a voice of sarcasm and a roll of her eyes. "Oc-Octavia too? You guys are.....W-...w...WEREWOLVES!!" She screamed as she flew off as fast as possible. Outside high in the air, a ring of rainbow colors lit up the night as a loud sonic boom was made, shattering the glass, and all the power cut out as more creams were heard as well as a stampede of hooves rushing out of every possible exit. When the lights came back on, there were just a few ponies left to scurry out of the building, and the floor was suddenly trashed wit popcorn and their buckets that had one held them, along with candy wrappers, and soda cups, The posters on the wall had fallen, a few of the lights on the ceiling flickered or didn't turn back on, but the majority of them still worked. "Oh, nothing's gonna happen, Octavia! Just trust me on this one!" She yelled, getting into Vinyl's face. "I was enjoying my night until we came here! I should have stayed at home..." She said in a much lower voice as she rubbed her temples with her paws. "It looks like a tornado came through here!" "Octy...I'm sorry...I...I just wanted us to try and have some fun...like last night...I didn't mean for this to happen..." Vinyl pouted as she began to whimper, with her head low. Octavia let out a long and heavy sigh. "Can we just go home now?" She asked calmly. "Yeah, sure." Vinyl said sadly as she began walking out of the trashed cinema. Her stomach growled, and suddenly lurched as she finds herself booking it to the bathroom. "Vinyl, what's wrong?" She asked as she trotted after her friend. There was a lone mare in the bathroom who seemed very shocked once a large white wolf barged in. "BLAAAARRGGHHH!!" "Vinyl?" Octavia cautiously walked in, seeing the old white mare against the corner on the opposite side of the room swinging her bag around. "Agh! Stay away you ruffians!" See what she did there? Heh, ruffians :D Octavia stared at the woman for a second before going into the stall with her ill marefriend. "Octy what's wrong with BLAAAARRGGHGHG!" "I don't know, I think it was those cupcakes...and I feel sick all of a sudden too!" Her cheeks puffed up as she tried to hold it back, and she ran into the next stall. "Tonight was supposed to be fun! BLAAAARRGGHH!" "I knew I shouldn't BLAARRGGHH have trusted you!" "Oh, shut it, Octy!" Vinyl snapped. ""W-we're staying home tomorrow night, got it!" Octavia said in a firm voice. "Fine, but we're cuddling then." "Like this, really?" Octavia whined. "That's not what you said last night. BLAARRGGHH!" "I wasn't in contol las night so shut it!" She yelled in her defense. "Ugh, I think I'm done..." Vinyl said as she wiped her mouth and flushed the toilet as left the stall. "Can we go home now?" Octavia pleaded as she left her stall as well. "Although I don't want to, I think that's a great idea." said Vinyl. "Okay, go wait outside, I'll just be getting a drink of water." She said as she approached the sink. "From that!?" "It'll taste a lot better than the vomit did!" She saidin protest, turning the water on, lowering her muzzle under the stream and began to drink. "Okay. I'll wait outside then." Vinyl said as she left the bathroom. Octavia looked at her wolf-like apearance in the mirror, as she began to fix her frazzled mane. until Vinyl burst back in through the door. "What's the matter, Vinyl?" "We've got trouble! BIG trouble!" She panted and showed Octavia a patch of her mane that had been singed somehow. "What happened to your mane!?" "The elements of harmony did!" > You Guys Are Werewolves!?!? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What are we gonna do, Vinyl!? They're right out there wanting to kill us!" Octavia shrieked, as she held Vinyl against the white tiled wall, her claws slightly digging into her skin "I don't know! They are our friends, so maybe we can reason with them?" Vinyl 'pony-shrugged', or would it be wolf-shrugged? Octavia gasped, releasing her grasp, and Vinyl fell to the floor. "Good idea! Pinkie Pie understood you when we bought those...cupcakes from her! So maybe we can tell her that, yes we are werewolves but we don't want to hurt anypony. You go talk to her, since you're good with barking at ponies, while I try not to barf my guts out again after mentioning that cupcake..." "Sounds like a plan. I'll try." She got up from the floor, and took a glace at the burnt streak of hair, which was now a dark brown, and black mixture. "Here I go." She sighed as she approached the front door. She slowly opened it, as it creaked slightly, to the large lobby where six ponies waited in suspense. She peeked her head out, and they were right there. She gasped, quickly closing the door, placing her body against i. "I can't do it! They'll fry me!" She said to no one. "Octy?" She looked around the empty bathroom, until she saw four grey paws in a stall. "I-I'm fine, just...trying to hold it in..." She said quietly. "Okay. I'm gonna try again." She took a deep breath as she once again slowly peeked out of the door, they were still there, but closer this time. Her new wolf instinct told her to duck back behind cover, but she knew she had to do this. All six ponies stared at her as she inched more and more out of the door until she was fully out of the bathroom, pressing herself to the wall. "Rainbow, it's just a wolf!" Twilight said to the rainbow pony who was shaking behind her. "Look closer, it's a werewolf!" she replied, trying her best to prepare for an attack. "It...it looks like...." "Wait! I know you!" Pinkie cheered, cutting off Twilight as she trotted up to the white wolf. "She and another one bought cupcakes from me!" "Darling," Rarity began. "I highly doubt a couple of wolves are going to come out of the Everfree forest, walk through town, and straight up to the counter and ask for fine dairy treats." She said with a roll of her eyes. "This one did! She bought two double chocolate fudge cupcakes with whipped cream and white chocolate shavings!" She said happily and began to ruffle the wolf's mane. "Pinkie, if you're tellin' the truth, then that means you just fed a couple of canines chocolate!" Applejack stated with an emphasis on chocolate. "You say that like it's a bad thing..." "Because it is a bad thing!" Fluttershy sort of yelled as she flew over to Vinyl. "Poor little guy must be sick!" She said as she began to rub the wolf's stomach. "Don't worry little guy, I'll make it better." She cooed, giving Vinyl a soft smile. Vinyl began panting heavily as she soon flopped to her back, her tail batting against the floor. "Is...that why it was in the bathroom?" Twilight questioned. "BLAAARRGGHHH!!" "What was that!?" Rainbow asked in surprise a she shook like a leaf in the wind. "Ah'll go check it out." Applejack stated as she trotted into the bathroom. Octavia took the precaution of closing and locking the stall door when Vinyl left. "Hello? Any pony in here?" She asked, her voice slightly echoing. A shocked Octavia knew she was in for it once she heard Applejack's voice. She began hyperventilating, putting a paw to her chest as she took deep breaths as she slowly calmed down. She watched as two pairs of orange hooves approached her stall. One was lifted and a knock came through the door, but being old as it was, the lock slid out of place, and the door swung open. Expecting an attack she threw her paws over her head and she closed her eyes preparing for the hit, but nothing came, and she peeked out. Applejack stared down at the cowering form on the floor as she studied it's features. Thick brushed mane. Purple eyes, grey coat, and something that shocked her to the core. A cutie mark, being a pink treble cleft, belonging to her friend, "Octavia?" She asked the wolf quietly as her whole body began to slightly shake. She also took a step back as the smell coming from the toilet forced her to do so. Octavia stared at Applejack and slowly nodded. "You're...a wolf..." Octavia nodded again. "Then that means Rainbow was tellin' the truth!" She took a few moments to put the pieces of the puzzle together, until the sudden epiphany of it came in an instant. "Oh my Celestia, let me help you up!" She reached down for the wolf, helping her to her paws. "Th-thanks." Octavia muttered. "Did ya just try to say thank you, because I don't understand wolf. Octavia nodded for a third time. "So..a werewolf huh?" Octavia rolled her eyes. "Well, uh..lets head out to the others, okay?" She said as she walked back out into the lobby, Octavia followed behind from afar. "So, Applejack." Twilight began. "We found out Vinyl Scratch here is a werewolf based on what wolf whisperer over here said." She nodded her head back to Pinkie Pie in the back ground who waved happily. "Same thing can be said for Octavia here." She turned to face the grey wolf who had her head low and her tail between her legs. Upon seeing Octavia exit the bathroom, Vinyl instantly ran into her and hugged her and began licking her cheek. "AWWWEEE!!" They all cooed. "So, Ah think we finally found something that really gives Rainbow Dash the scare!" Applejack chuckled. "What!? I wasn't scared! Just..." "You were scared, Rainbow. You almost flattened the whole town wiht your sonic rain boom!" Twilight interjected. "NO! That was...okay, I was scared..." Her ears drooped as she sat on the ground. "I just want to know how this is all even possible! I've never heard of somepony's physical being changing into another species!" Twilight said excitedly. "I have to run some tests!" "Twilight?" Rarity asked. "Yes, Rarity?" "Within our many days of fighting evil, and all of our crazy adventures we've been on, we've seen time travel, fusing bodies together, bodies being turned to stone, the whole fabric of nature being turned to Discord's liking that one time, and when you went to that other world, you said you turned into a human, whatever that is." "Yeah I guess you're right." Twilight blushed. "What I'm trying to say is, I'm not surprised you're surprised of this. And I am surprised you're not surprised, still." "Oh, hush! Let's just get these two to the library so I can do some testing on them. And before anypony else sees them." She looked to the two wolves as they continued to hug, and Vinyl had been licking Octavia's cheek. "Here we go." She smirked as she sparked her horn, feeling the magic surge through it and with a 'pop' they were in the castle library. "Who's a good werewolf? Who's a good werewolf?" Fluttershy cooed as she was once again rubbing Vinyl's stomach. "SPIIIIKE!!!" Twilight yelled. A few seconds later the small purple and green dragon entered through the large brown double doors. "Yes, Twilight?" He asked as he approached with his usual happy smile. "Find me anything and everything you can that has to do with werewolves, okay?" "Sure...why werewolves?" Spike asked with a tilt of his little head. Twilight pointed a hoof towards the two werewolves who were now currently wrestling on the floor. Spike gasped with wide eyes. "Wow, they actually exist!?" He asked in surprise. "Yes, now go!" "Y-...yes Twilight!" He gave a quick salute and disappeared down a row of crystal bookshelves. Too bad for him Twilight has a much larger arsenal of books he would have to look through now that they live in a castle. "Vinyl! Octavia!" Twilight trotted up to the two who's heads shot up from their names being called as they separated and stood. "First thing I want to do is take an x-ray exam, so if you could, please turn to your left." She ordered and they did as told. Vinyl was quick to listen, but Octavia was a bit reluctant as she never really liked being bossed around. Twilight then reached somewhere out of sight, and pulled out a screen and a monitor which she stuck her tongue out upon pressing a few buttons, using her magic to position the screen behind them correctly. Just as she pressed the red button to take the photo, Pinkie Pie suddenly popped up as the picture came out of a printer built into the side of the monitor. "Pinkie Pie!" She barked, as she let out a long breath. "Sorryyyyy..." She said apologetically a she scooted out of sight. "Now let's see what I got here," She said as she looked over the photo. Pinkie's head partially showed out of the bottom of the picture, with her hooves up, coincidentally covered Vinyl's and Octavia's plots since Twilight forgot to use the covers for them. She then pulled a random book off a nearby shelf, opening it up to a page with a skeletal body of an equine form, and compared it to Vinyl and Octavia's current lupine forms. "Wow, this is amazing!" She said as she looked the two photos over. Vinyl and Octavia had full wolf bodies, with zero pony in them. "You guys completely tuned into another species! What was it like!?" "Arf arp..." Octavia muttered. "She said it was painful." Pinkie said, her head popping into view again only for a second. "Ruff uff arf arp." Vinyl added. "And she said it was very painful!" "I see. Was it an instant transformation, or a slow and gradual transformation?" She then asked as Spike came back with a large stack of books in his arms. "Here you go, Twilight." Spike grunted as he put the books down next to Twilight. "Thank you, Spike." He nodded as he left the room. "Now how was it again?" Twilight asked. "Arff ruffarf arp." Octavia said. "She said it was slow and gradual." "Uh, huh. Now, just give me a minute or two to look through this first book." She said as she took it in her purple aura of magic, as well as conjuring a note pad and quill along with a small jar of ink. She began flipping through the pages. "It says here that werewolves are just a mythical creature found in dark tales of folklore, and do not really exist." She stated. "Well, now we know they do exist. And I'm sure we all know that they either change voluntarily, or on the nights of the full moon, or for as long as the moon looks full, which is usually four or five nights. and it is full as we speak." She continued as she began jotting down notes. "But how did they become werewolves in th' first place?" Applejack asked. "Arff rerff rarf." "Vinyl said Octavia bit her last night." Said Pinkie Pie. "So, how did you-" "Rerarff arff arp arff arp arp." "And Octavia said she was bitten too." Said Pinkie Pie. "Oh, that can't be right. It says you have to be born a werewolf, and that bites really don't work or do spells." "Darling, who knows, there has never been an actual werewolf in the history of Equestria." Rarity said. "So how do they exist in the first place?" Twilight asked with a slight tilt of her head. "Who knows!?" Pinkie giggled as she stood upside down on the ceiling. "Nor do we know how she does that." Twilight rolled her eyes with a shake of her head. "You guys are werewolves alright, but you were made by being bitten, you guys still control your thoughts and actions when the book says you have no control over anything, and you become savage beasts. But you guys are as if you're still yourselves, just in wolf bodies." Twilight walked up to Octavia. "Can you open your mouth for me?" Octavia usually would ask why, then say no after the given answer, but with the current situation, she complied, lowering her jaw. "Wow! Those are some pretty sharp canines you've got!" Twilight giggled slightly. "The book also says it's whats in the saliva that when it enters the blood stream, it goes undetected into the blood cells, and completely changed the DNA on every full moon which causes the transformation. I'm actually curious to see if it would work and try it on myself, but that wouldn't help me." She stated as she placed the book down, taking the next one from the stack. "That would actually be funny to see, Twilight." Applejack chuckled. "You as a werewolf." "Maybe, and maybe not." She turned the book to the a page which had the picture of a regular wolf, and a werewolf. "From what I see here is that the pony who is a werewolf, becomes a bipedal hybrid of the two species, and it looks...rather creepy...yet you two have obtained the bodies of a full wolf." She set the book back down on the stack. "Seeing how much of this information you have defied, I can see these books won't help me, and since you were both 'bitten' it will be hard to find out how werewolves actually exist." She sighed and let out a small yawn, and soon the rest of them did the same. "So what now, darling?" Rarity asked. "You guys can go home, or stay here if you want. But I need Vinyl and Octavia to stay, so I know nothing else happens, and I will have to send Celestia a letter about this." She let out another yawn. "Ah'm gonna head home. Ah've got plenty of chores in the morning." Applejack said as she left the room. "Me too. Somepony has to watch over Sweetie Belle or she'll wreck the place. So, I'll stop by tomorrow to see how things are going." Said Rarity as she left. "What about you Fluttershy?" She turned her head to see she had fallen asleep against Vinyl's side. "Think you could stay, Pinkie Pie? I need somepony to translate what these two what these two say to me." "Oki doki loki!" She cheered happily as she jumped in place. "Vinyl, Octavia, you guys can sleep in the room just down the hall to the right, okay?" The two wolves nodded in response as they began to walk out of the library. Vinyl first placed Fluttershy on her back with her magic. "Ugh, what a long night." Twilight sighed as she teleported to her room where Spike had fallen asleep in his bed, holding his Rarity plushie close to him. "Good night Spike." She whispered as she climbed into bed and she soon fell asleep. "Well...tonight was...interesting, to say the least." Octavia said as she got into bed. "We went out to eat, attempted to see a movie, and Rainbow Dash ended up making a mess of the place with her sonic rain boom. I bet many other store keepers were, or won't be too happy to see their buildings mingled and broken." "Yeah, it was a bit messed up." Vinyl giggled as she laid Fluttershy in the other bed and climbed into bed by Octavia The purple painted room had lightly been light up from one of the few torches around the room. Two beds sat on the opposite side of the room than the door, each with a window above it. They were both queen size beds with blue covers, and a red rug beneath. "I'm ready for sleep." Octavia yawned. "Not me really..." Vinyl stared out of the window at the full moon above. "How do you feel about being a werewolf, Octy?" "I don't know actually. But you seem to like it, don't you?" "Yeah, I do. It's really fun, actually. We had quite the adventure tonight. I wonder how many more adventures we have with every full moon." Vinyl sighed as she laid down next to her marefriend. "To be honest, as long as you're there with me, I'd love to see them." Octavia replied as she snuggled into Vinyl, closing her eyes as she laid her head on Vinyl's chest. Vinyl smiled. "I feel being werewolves has only brought us closer, don't you think?" being too tired and on the edge of visiting dream world, she simply nodded as she fell asleep. "Well goodnight, Octy." Vinyl kissed Octavia on the head before blowing out the torch on the end table between the two beds and falling asleep. > The following morning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Octavia woke the next morning the way she had fallen asleep, laying cuddled into Vinyl as usual. Normally she woke second, and just laid there, listening to the heartbeat in Vinyl's chest if she woke up before Vinyl did. She highly prefers that over Vinyl blaring her dubstep dishwasher very early every morning, but even if she hadn't woken up first, Vinyl was nowhere near it. She wanted to lay there, but the side of er head felt sticky and wet, and not to mention, very foul smelling. She gagged as she began to register what the smell was, and was quick to remove her head from Vinyl's chest, who's fur had been matted down by, "Saliva!? Gross!" Octavia wailed as she tried to wipe fer germ infested face clean, but only smeared it even more. "EWWWWW!!!!" She screamed as she tried any thing to wipe her face, and so far, the blanket was the only thing, since she didn't feel quite like getting up and searching for a bathroom in a large castle that was completely unfamiliar to her. Especially after just waking up, so the blanket was as good as anything in the current situation. She huffed as she turned her gaze to see Vinyl still fast asleep, with her legs spread from her body, her mouth wide open, with her tongue hanging out as she snored slightly. "Nnmmffgh..." a soft voice was heard from the other bed. "Wha...?" Octavia glanced to the next bed over where Fluttershy began to stir beneath the covers. She groaned and stretched as she sat up, the sheets fell to her lap as she rubbed her eyes with her hooves. "S-Something wrong, Octavia?" She asked in a hushed whisper before letting out a loud, but adorable yawn. "No, not really, other than I just woke up in the ungodly pool of saliva Vinyl has become." She said as she continued to stare onto Vinyl's saliva covered chest. "Oh, that can't be good..." "Not really the best wake up call I've ever gotten. But I've had worse." She recollected the times where she'd been thrown to the flood by Vinyl's 'Wubtastic' Dishwasher, which had always left a never ending ringing in her ear. Just the thought of it gave her an uncomfortable tickle in her ears. "I-I'm sorry...i-is there anything I can do to help? If that's okay with you..." Fluttershy replied shyly. Hence the name Fluttershy. "Well, there is nothing you can really do. Even giving her a few lumps with the frying pan doesn't change anything." Octavia scoffed. "Well that doesn't sound very nice." Said Fluttershy with a shake of her head. "Neither is blasting loud 'dubstep' in the morning when your marefriend is trying to sleep!" She yelled into the sleeping mare's face. Vinyl's snoring was the only response she got. "Ugh, she irritates me so much at times! It makes me wonder how I can stad her crappy wubs!" Vinyl's eyes suddenly shot open and she sat up in an instant. "Who said my wubs are-" Smack, thump! "Ow, what was that for Octy!?" Vinyl whined as she was now on the floor. "You drooled all over me while we were sleeping!" She scolded. "Wait, what?" She asked before she broke out into a fit of laughter. "Oh-ho, Celestia, that's hilarious!" She laughed as she got up. "Oooh, oh how I wished I had a frying pan to hit you with right now!" Her cheeks began to flush out with red as she became filled with anger. "See, the thing is, you kinda don't." Vinyl said, sticking out her bottom lip. "Well, it appears to be hooves work just as well!" Octavia snapped as she slapped her right hoof across Vinyl's face. She again fell to the floor. "Is that really all you got!?" Vinyl teased, as her head appeared above the bed again. Smack, thump! This time Vinyl remained on the floor, laying on her stomach, unconscious. "That aughta teach her!" Octavia snickered. "Octavia?" Fluttershy asked. "Yeeessss?" "H-have you ever thought of taking any anger management classes?" Octavia shot her an evil glare, which upon given, Fluttershy pulled the blankets up her her muzzle as if it would protect her, should Octavia try to hit her as well. "S-sorry I asked..." Octavia sighed. "Maybe you're right. I did go a bit far..." She said very ashamed as she looked at her friends sleeping body. "Can you help me get her back into the bed?" She asked as she tried to pick Vinyl off of the floor. "Um, yeah, sure." She went down to the floor to assist Octavia when Twilight walked in through the door. What she saw, she wasn't expecting. "Aammm I...interrupting something?" She asked awkwardly as she saw Vinyl across the two pony's backs, blood dripping from her nose. "No, I just...it's nothing!" Octavia blushed of guilt as she placed Vinyl back on the bed. "Well, Breakfast is ready downstairs, if you guys are hungry. Spike made pancakes again, let's hope to Celestia he didn't burn them too much..." She sighed as she left the room. ***** Later downstairs, Twilight, Octavia, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Spike, unfortunately, all sat at the large dinning room table made to seat ten. "So, now that you're a pony again, maybe we can try and talk about all this werewolf stuff that's going on between you and Vinyl." Twilight said as she took the first bite of her stack of five slightly burnt pancakes which had been drenched in a bit too much syrup. "Well, last night...was the first time I had control of my thoughts and actions, and to put it in short terms, it was rather complicated and irritating." Octavia replied. "Although, Vinyl had a blast. She told me she was upset I never told her about me being a werewolf. But she was at least happy to be one now, she said." Octavia looked down at her pancaked which unfortunately had suffered the most burns, which ruined her appetite. Well, I was planning on having breakfast. She thought as she slightly pushed the plate away with her fork. "So, you're not too glad with it, but Vinyl is happy with her new ability?" Twilight asked. "Yes. She kept going on about how she couldn't wait to see herself as a werewolf yesterday, and when it happened, she somehow didn't faint when it came to the transformation, and she was so happy she accidentally put her face through the wall! Literally! There is a hole in our bedroom wall now." Octavia recalled Vinyl's actions last night, and how she looked with her face through the hole. "I bet that's not as bad as what Rainbow did when she made that sonic rainboom last night." Twilight, giggled. "Yeah...the theater was pretty damaged." Octavia nodded in agreement. "I was just in the kitchen baking and baking, minding my own business, when all of a sudden, there was this loud explosion, and I saw it outside!" Pinkie squealed. "Then the windows broke, and it was so bright it looked like it was daytime!" She smiled for a second before she literally sucked in all of her pancakes. "MMMMMMMM!!!" She sighed as she rubbed her stomach. "At least somepony enjoys my food..." Spike muttered, as he eyed his pancakes with a look of disappointment. "It was pretty bad. I was sleeping when I heard it, and when I looked outside, I thought Equestria was right next to the sun with how bright it was." Fluttershy said quietly. "All of my animals were so scared...and..." She made several glances around the room when she gasped all of a sudden. "MY POOR ANGEL!" She screeched. "I'm sorry but I have to go!" She jumped out of her chair and in an instant she was gone. "Me too! I promised Mr. and Mrs. Cake I'd watch over the twins!" Pinkie gasped and just like fluttershy, she was gone, except much faster, even though instantanious is as fast as one can get, but Pinkie somehow did it. "So now it's just me and you, Octavia." Twilight sighed. "Um...do I not count?" Spike asked, his head hardly visible over the top of the table. "Oh, sorry, Spike! Forgot you were there, when I can hardly see you!" Twilight gave a slight giggle and a sheepish smile, topped out with a rosy blush. "Yeah, whatever." He glared from the sudden disrespect and he left the room, slamming the door behind him. "So...um...nice place you've got here!" Octavia said a bit embarrassed as she looked about the room. There was a large crystal chandelier that hung over the crystal table, which had crystal chairs on the tiled floor, which glistened off the crystal walls. So much crystal. "Thanks. So...lets get back on track here?" Twilight asked. "About me and Vinyl?" "Yes. That." Twilight said as she took another bite of her pancakes. "So, what do you want to know?" "When you were in your wolf body...what was that like?" "Nothing different actually. Just tried to make sure nothing bad would happen, buuuuut....you know..." Octavia gave a shrug and a roll of her eyes. "Yeah, Rainbow Dash pretty much flattened half of Ponyville." Twilight chuckled as Vinyl came down the steps from the hallway. "Oh, hey Vinyl! Done playing little Miss. Smarty Flank, are we?" Octavia asked. "You gave me a bloody nose, and l bled all over the bed...." An irritated Vinyl grumbled. "Well, next time you wanna drool in your sleep, do it somewhere besides me! I'm not a spittoon you know!" "Yeah, yeah, and I changed the bedding and stuff, and..." She stopped as soon the aroma of food sailed past her nostrils. "Are those pancakes?" "No, those are just random doughy discs on a plate. Now come sit." Vinyl ordered, tapping the chair next to her with a hoof. "My head hurts...why did you hit me so hard, Octy? Dogs drool, you know. Being werewolves, we were pretty much dogs, so who knows? Maybe it was your drool and not mine." Vinyl stated as she sat down. "Maybe you're right..." Octavia lowered her head. "What do you mean maybe? There was a bit of a drool spot by my head on the pillow. You were laying on my chest. So if you think about it, you hit me for no reason!" Vinyl huffed a she crossed her forelegs across her chest as she turned away from Octavia. "Okay, I'm sorry Vinyl! I shouldn't have just jumped to conclusions. Lesson learned." Octavia said apologetically. "Maybe I should drool on you on purpose tonight when we're wolves again." Vinyl said sarcastically. "You really enjoy being a werewolf, don't you?" Octavia asked. "There isn't a single thing I don't like about it...except for the transformation. Other than that, I'm actually really glad you bit me the other night." Vinyl turned and smiled at Octavia. "If I had known you've wanted to be a werewolf, I would have told you, but..." She trailed off, staring at her hooves. "But what?" "I thought you would have stopped loving me..." "Awe, Octy, there isn't anypony I find more joy in annoying other than you." Vinyl giggled as she leaned over to kiss Octavia on the cheek. "Thanks, Vinyl. And from how you were acting last night, maybe being a werewolf isn't so bad after all." Octavia smiled as she gave a small blush. "I did kind of have fun last night." "I told you, but you being...you, you only look at the negative side of things. Try and see the good in things for a change." "I am on you." Octavia said with a snicker. "What is there?" Vinyl asked, her ears perking up. "Absolutely not a single thing." Octavia giggled, which turned into a full out laugh as she fell out of her chair. "Bah, I never loved you either." Vinyl joked before joining her marefriend on the floor. > Heh heh...Sorry? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I love you so much, Vinyl." Octavia pulled Vinyl into a tight hug, nuzzling her cheek as they lay on the floor. "I love you too, Octy." Vinyl giggled as she hugged Octavia in return. "Are...you guys okay?" Twilight asked, as she stared at them confusedly. "Yeah, we're good." Vinyl said as she got up again. "Hey, has anypony seen my Headphones?" "You left them home last night, you silly filly." Octavia chuckled with a slight shake of her head. "Man, I wanted to listen to I am Octavia..." She muttered slightly. "Um...wasn't that she song Octavia made when you guys were broken up for about a week?" Twilight asked. "Yes, how did you know that?" Octavia asked a little suspicious. "Uh, duh, it was like a hit!" Vinyl interjected. "Nopony would stop saying how much it sucked we had broken up, which is what made me forgive you." She stated. "Yeah, I kn- hey! What do you mean you forgave me!? You're the one who didn't show up to my concert as usual!" Octavia protested. "Oh, Octy. You know how busy you are as a cellist, but, me being a dj, which is more preferred than that, I'm even busier with my work, and I was just too busy to make any free time in my schedule!" "No, you forgot! You even said it over the phone that you forgot, and you bribed me with taking me to a restaurant to not be mad!" Octavia roared back at her. "Um, guys...?" Said Twilight. "I told you I was sorry! And like I said, I didn't have any free time, I wouldn't have made it even if I didn't forget!" "Guys!" "What if you did have free time!?" Octavia yelled. "Hellooo!!" Twilight said, waving a hoof in front of their faces. "Then I would have came!" "Oh, I heavily doubt that! Because you never cared for my music!" "You don't like my music either! And if I didn't like your music, why was I asking for my head phones so I could listen to your song, then!?" "Maybe because my music is better than yours!" "Is not!" "Is too!" "Is not times ten!" By now, Twilight was filling with anger she had been getting ignored, as well as Vinyl who began huffing and puffing. "Your music is too loud" "Yours is too boring!" "Well yours just sucks!!!!" Octavia yelled at the top of her lungs. Vinyl gasped. "Take. That. BACK!" "Nope." Octavia said in a hushed voice, as she sat on the floor, legs crossed over her chest, and her nose in the air. "That is it!" Vinyl yelled as she began to turn away until she fell over. "Agghh, my stomach!!" She hollered, as she clutched her aching belly. "Vinyl? What's wrong??" Octavia suddenly sounded concerned as she was next to Vinyl. "Everything hurts!" She whined as tears leaked from her eyes. "You're changing, but it isn't night time yet!" Octavia gasped. "Wait! She's changing into her werewolf form!?" Twilight gasped excitedly. "Yeah, knock yourself out with your notes and such." She said as she turned back to vinyl, who's fur had become messy as well as her tail and mane. Her hooves became furred over as they changed into paws, each with four toes, and a claw sticking from each one. "I get it! She's sort of like the hulk pony! Anger promotes a transformation!" She said happily as she conjured up her note pad, quill and ink jar again and began scribbling down words and diagrams. Vinyl let out a loud shriek as her muzzle expanded a little as her teeth became pointed, and bleeding slightly like her toes from bing cut by the claws. "It hurts...so...much!" She was curled up into a tight ball as Octavia held her. "I know, Vinyl, I'm here. I'm sorry for fighting with you...I really need to take some anger management classes or something..." "Okay, it's gone now!" Vinyl said happily as she stood, a full wolf. "And I'm a wolf again, soo awesome!" She did a paw pump in the air and hugged Octy. "You gotta piss me off a lot more often, now!" "Um, Vinyl, I don't know what you're saying...you're a wolf, and all I hear is barking." Octavia stated. "Oh, yeah..." Vinyl muttered as she removed herself, an began searching for anything to use to write, until she saw Twilight writing away on her note pad. She enveloped it, the quill and the ink jar in her blue aura of magic and took them from Twilight. "Hey!!" She barked. Not that she's a wolf, it's just a figure of speech to express a form of yelling. Vinyl began writing, sticking her tongue out. She wrote for a few seconds, and gave the note pad to Octavia. "You gotta piss me off more often?" She looked at Vinyl who nodded. "Why?" Vinyl gestured her paws at herself. "Oh, because you want to be in your wolf form?" Vinyl nodded again and took the note pad again and wrote something else, before giving it back. "You don't think it was anger that turned you, you were just really thinking about changing, but the anger helped you? How does that make sense?" Octavia asked with a tilt of her head. "Well, last night, when I was reading through that book, when enraged, werewolves will change right then and there, and as well as just shifting voluntarily. She was angry, and wanting to shift, so if you put two and two together, her changing is the outcome. Right Vinyl?" Twilight asked. Vinyl nodded, batting her tail on the floor. "So my whole hulk reference was wrong. Well, sort of, anyway." "So, now what?" Octavia asked. "Well, while you two were fighting, I was trying to get your attention, and I was gonna suggest going out and seeing how the town faired from the blast of Rainbow's sonic rain boom." "Oh, sure, but what about Vinyl? She's a wolf now, and based on last night's events, I don't think she should leave until she finds a way to change back." Octavia stated. Vinyl looked down in shame. "Oh, we won't be long, okay? And Spike is here to keep you company!" Twilight smiled, patting Vinyl on the shoulder. "Come on Octavia." "Actually, how about you bring Spike? I gotta stay here with Vinyl to keep her out of trouble and I kind of owe it to her for barking at her before." "Oh, I understand. SPIIIKE!!" Twilight yelled. "Yes, Twilight?" Spike asked after taking a minute to return. "We're going to check on the town, since Rainbow almost flattened it." Twilight giggled as she placed Spike on her back with her magic and trotted out of the room, leaving Vinyl and Octavia behind. "Sooooo...." Vinyl began. "I'm sorry for yelling at you, Vinyl. I tend to do that a lot, don't I?" Vinyl only nodded, then held her forelegs out, offering a hug, which Octavia accepted. "I love you, Vinyl." She said as she stared into Vinyl's slitted eyes before meeting her lips with hers. Vinyl was shocked at first, but being such the good kisser she was, she couldn't help but return it as they held each other. ***** "Wow..." Twilight said as she stood in front of the theater, who's roof was caved in quite a bit, as small store stands had been completely demolished. There wasn't a single window that had survived the blast for a few blocks as ponies stood, looking at the havoc before them. Small buildings had been forced back, while larger ones had cracks and pieces missing from the walls, which could be found littering the ground, along with a bunch of trash from turned over trash cans. There were hoof prints all over the ground in front of the mingled theater, leading off into several directions. "She really did a number on this place." Spike said as he held a plank of wood in his hand, suspicious to which building it came from since there were more broken planks of wood along the ground. "You're telling me, Spike. I never knew something would scare her so badly..." "I said I was sorry..." A voice said from behind Twilight. She turned back to see a guilt and shame filled rainbow pegasus behind her. "Say that to all these ponies to who's businesses will be closed for a while until they can fix all of this up!" Twilight answered. "I know, okay! You can't really blame me! They were werewolves! They're thought to be vicious killers!" Rainbow said in her defense. "And they were right in front of my face!" She yelled, gaining the attention of the other ponies. "Hey, are you gonna pay to fix all of this!?" One stallion scolded. "Yeah! Who's gong to replace my windows!? And the flowers from my shop which are now ruined!?" Another mare yelled. Soon Rainbow Dash was surrounded by yelling, angry, mobbing ponies, demanding their shops be fixed, and things like that. "I SAID I WAS SORRY!!!!" She yelled over everypony else, as she flared her wings up, and gave a good flap and in a few seconds she was gone.
