Fang's magic was very slowly making me smaller. I wasn't used to copying magic from wolves, so the process was taking much longer than normal. Luckily, I was so focused on absorbing magic that I had totally forgotten about my fear of being in the dark alone. Fang still wasn't waking up though, and I was really starting to worry. His chest was moving up and down with ragged breaths, so at least I knew he was still alive.

Don't worry Fang, I'll get us out of here! I thought to him. I knew there was no way he would get that, but it felt right to do anyway. I sighed into my gag and focused in on Fang's magic again.

"Uh... nothin' important Sharky... Ah gotta go." Applejack couldn't lie, but she could avoid the truth. Sharky didn't move from the doorway.

"No, no. It's important to me I assure you." He said with an evil grin. Applejack began to step from hoof to hoof, nervous about not being able to tell the truth.

"Sharky!" Fluttershy yelled as she flew into his stomach.

"OOF!" He gasped as he hit the ground. Applejack took the opening and quickly made her escape.

"Oops... sorry Sharky..." Fluttershy said, barely above a whisper. She was already blushing deep red and hiding her face. Sharky grinned.

"No problem! Say, what was it Applejack was talking about?" He asked. Fluttershy blushed even DEEPER somehow, and buried her face completely in her mane.

"N-n-n-nothing..." She was shaking like a leaf. Sharky grinned.

"It wouldn't have to do with me would it?" He asked with an evil grin, but Fluttershy didn't see the malice in his face. She couldn't see through her mane.

"M-m-maybe...." She was so quiet that Sharky had to strain to hear her even though she was on his chest.

"You wanna tell me?"

"N-not r-r-really..." She whispered. Sharky scowled.

"Tell me." He commanded. Fluttershy went silent. She was shaking even harder now. "TELL ME!!" He yelled at her. She stopped shaking and her head popped out of her mane.

"You don't yell at me..." She said it like it was a question. "Something's not right here..." She started looking really closely at Sharky.

"I-I'm sorry... Fang attacked me today... Turns out he wasn't the pet for me..." Fluttershy narrowed her eyes.

"Fang and Sharky were the closest match I could ever find, he wouldn't attack you..." She was frowning now. "Something is very wrong..." Sharky stood up and put her on the ground.

"I-I gotta go..." He turned to rush off, but a dark-gray pegasus hit him in the stomach as he turned.

"OOF!" He hit the ground again. Sitting on his chest was a very angry Stormy. "Why do pegasi keep hitting me?!"

"I don't know why others did it, but I did it on purpose." Stormy stated calmly. "Now, why don't you tell me exactaly why you did that to Rainbow Dash!!!" He screamed in Sharky's face.

"What did he do to Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked curiously. Stormy looked away from Sharky and faced Fluttershy.

"He basically told her she was lame and worthless when she asked him out to dinner. She tried to fly out of town crying, but I intercepted her and found out what this jerk--" He pointed a forehoof in my face."--did to her... Wait a second..." His eyes followed the line his hoof made all the way to Sharky's eyes. He stared into Sharky's eyes for about a minute, then scowled firecely. "YOU'RE NOT SHARKY!!!" He shouted as he lifted his back legs and smashed them into Dark Sharky's groin.

"YEEEEEEEEEOWW!!!!!" Dark Sharky screamed as he jumped up, sending Stormy tumbling away from him. Stormy landed next to Fluttershy. He let a few tears of pain fall from his eyes and an angry grimace crossed his face. "GODDAMN THAT HURT!!!" He screamed.

"I knew it! I knew Sharky wouldn't be that mean!" Fluttershy hissed through her teeth. "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY FRIEND!!" She screamed. (Actual scream, not Flutterscream) Sharky laughed through his pain.

"What's so funny?" Asked a dazed Stormy.

"BWAHA ow... HA. You two know I'm not Sharky." He stated through gritted teeth.

"Yeah and we're gonna tell everypony you're a big jerk!" Fluttershy seethed.

"My dear, *flinch* You clearly have no idea how much of a 'jerk' I am." He grinned maliciously and started dragging his feet towards the two ponies.

"W-what are you doing?" Stormy stuttered.

"Well, I've got to keep you two quiet now don't I?" He grinned and struggled through his pain.

"DON'T YOU DARE MOVE CLOSER!!" Fluttershy screamed and started giving him the stare. Dark Sharky wasn't looking at her, so it was ineffective. He finally reached the angry Fluttershy and trembling Stormy. Stormy tried to stand and strike Dark Sharky, but he wasn't fast enough.

*THWACK*

*CRACK*

"Mwahahaha... ow."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dark Sharky finished tying the two pegasi together with some rope he had found in Fluttershy's house. He walked a ways into the forest and hung them from a tree limb. He would have killed them himself, but he found the irony of Fluttershy being eaten by a wild animal humorous. He examined his work and smiled. There was no way these two would escape before a hungry animal found them. He laughed to himself and thought about what to do next.

"Hmmm... I could go back to that Twilight... haha, she's so happy that 'I' finally noticed her that she'd problably do anything..." He mused. "Then again I could always go mess with Rarity... Sharky was looking for clothes after all..." He smiled as he laughed at the memory of his nicey nice counterpart. He needed those clothes even more now, Dark Sharky had taken what Sharky had been wearing. "Yes... Rarity it is..." He decided. He left the still forms of Stormy and Fluttershy and headed towards Ponyville.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crap! Fang isn't small enough! I was panicking mentally, but I kept my body very still. I had shrank greatly, but the bonds were still to tight for me to slip out of. I had tried untying the knots too, but I could barely reach the one tying my hands with the tips of my fingers, and even then it was too confusing for me to undo. I sighed and almost gave up, but then I felt wiggling on my stomach. Fang was waking up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, hello dear!" Rarity exclaimed when she opened the door to reveal Sharky.

"Hello Rarity!" He greeted cheerfully. "Can I get those clothes now?"

"Why of course dear!" She began to bat her eyelashes. "I'll have to get the measurements first of course..." Sharky grinned.

"Well of course!" He walked over to the measurement station and sat down. Rarity trotted over happily and retrieved her measuring tape from nearby. She began to measure Sharky by hoof. She purposely let her hooves drift over him tracing little lines on his skin. She was being more obvious this time because she was beggining to understand how oblivious Sharky really was.

"Sharky, you know I think of you as a CLOSE PERSONAL FRIEND hmm?" She was really laying it out there. Without directly saying anything of course, it was no fun if the male didn't make the first move in her mind. Sharky gave her a wolfish grin.

"Why, thank you, is that why you've got your hooves all over me?" He asked simply. Rarity stopped moving.

"Uh well, ummm..." She mumbled. Sharky grinned some more.

"Ah, so you get me to sit here so you can feel me up for a few hours?"

"No, it's not like that..." She lied. Sharky's grin disappeared.

"Don't lie to me." He scolded, then his grin reappeared. "I just think it's time I got my turn..." With that he reached out and began rubbing Rarity's neck.

"Oh... Sharky you shouldn't..." She tried talking like it was bad, but she was enjoying it too much for her words to have any strength. "T-this is...." Sharky ignored her feeble protesting and moved his hands down on her back. "Ooooh..." Rarity knew she should be wary of the suddeness of it all and knowing it was wrong, but she was enjoying herself to much to care.

"Fingers are a wonderful thing my dear..." Sharky mumbled in her ear as he rubbed her. He knew he had her trapped. He applied more pressure with his fingers and rubbed Rarity more firmly.

"S-sharky s-s- oooh..." She was really enjoying this. The massages at the spa were nothing compared to this! Sharky took one hand away from her side and lifted her chin. Then, he kissed her and returned his other hand to rubbing her back.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fang was up now, and he looked confused and hurt. He whimpered and turned his head to see me. He growled when he saw my face. The hair on his neck and shackles raised, but he started sniffing and calmed down. I didn't know why my pet had acted like he did, but it didn't matter. I tried to talk to him through the gag, but all that came out were small growls. I wiggled around, but I was unable to get the gag loose. Unfortunately, even though my head had gotten smaller, my mouth had elongated and formed a half muzzle. This meant that my gag was still on firmly. I looked at Fang and made a few grunting noises to make sure I had his attention. He looked at me expectantly. I motioned my eyes towards my gag. He gave me a confused look, but seemed to understand after I repeated the process a few times. He stood and limped painfully towards my face. He grabbed the gag between his fangs and began to gnaw on it. Luckily, the fabric seemed very soft and he chewed through it fairly quickly. With my mouth free I took in a big gulp of air and prepared to call for help, but I had a thought. If whoever did this was still out there they'd hear me and just tie me up again. They'd most likely kill the both of us too! I changed my mind and whispered to Fang.

"Fang, can you get to my hands?" He nodded and limped around to my back. "Ok buddy, can you chew on those ropes for me?" I couldn't see him, but I felt his muzzle against my wrist as he started chewing on the bonds. Within a few minutes, he passed out again.

Poor guy... Thanks for the help buddy. His physical strain must have been much greater than I thought. I then struggled against my bonds again and felt them slowly giving way. Fang had chewed them enough to where I managed to break the bonds. I sighed with relief and stretched my hands out to return the feeling. I set to work on the bonds on my legs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I released my legs and stood in the closet, promptly hitting my head on the ceiling.

"Ow..." I cursed silently. I was shorter, but still too tall to stand up straight. I decided to rid myself of Fang's magic so that I would be more of a threat to whoever might be waiting. After a few minutes of focusing on expelling the magic, I was back to normal size. I carefully opened the door and swept my gaze across the surrounding area. I didn't see anything, so I gingerly tip-toed out of the closet. I continued to slowly creep down the tree, checking around every corner for danger. Eventually I cleared every floor down to the main room. I could hear Twilight humming from the kitchen, so I relaxed. Whoever had tied me up obviously wasn't here anymore. "Twilight!" I called.

"Ooooh~ Back for more already?" Twilight called back in a strange tone.

"More what?" I asked confusedly. She giggled from the kitchen.

"Of me silly!" I could hear her hooves tapping on the floor as she approached the room I was in.

"What are you talking about?" I was really confused now. She walked in the room, grinning at me in a funny way.

"Don't you play dumb with me~" She cooed. Then she got a look that was best described as confusedly happy. "Sharky, where are your clothes?" I looked down and jumped as I realized I was naked. I quickly covered my... delicates and blushed bright red.

"I-I h-h-have n-no idea..." I stuttered. She grinned and started trotting towards me.

"No idea hmm?" She was talking in a strange whisper. I started backing up, but I don't know why.

"Y-yes, n-no idea... Why did I just wake up bound and gagged in a closet?" That stopped her in her tracks.

"You what?"
