That Night...

AJ drove the tank down to the docks, parking it beside the road and sighed.

"It's getting late... We need rest," she said before rubbing her forehead.

"Then we should sleep in turns," Pinks suggested as she came up behind AJ's seat. "You first."

"Are ya sure?"

The pink mare nodded with a smile. "Go on. Get some rest. I'll keep an eye out."

AJ nodded and got up from the seat, moving to the one in the back and sitting down. She then closed her eyes and rested her head as Pinks sat in the driver's seat.

"Let's see..." she cooed softly as she turned the turret towards the street, watching out for enemies or friendlies.

Vinyl and Octavia climbed into the DJ's van as the white mare started the engine.

"Is this a good idea?" Octavia asked, sounding nervous.

"We already talked about this," Vinyl said with a sigh, gripping the steering wheel as she backed out into the desolate, trash-ridden street. "This city needs this..."

"I know..." the cellist said as she looked out the window, the buildings beginning to move as Vinyl began to drive. "I hope Surprise doesn't show..."

"If we start playing music and drawing in a crowd... you can bet she'll be there... And, like we discussed earlier... if we see her just act natural. We don't want to cause trouble and accidentally getting someone hurt... or killed..."

The gray mare hesitated before leaning her head back on the seat's headrest. "I suppose you're right..." After a brief moment's hesitation, she smiled lightly and looked at Vinyl. "Nude DJ?"

The white mare eyed her and smirked.

Surprise opened the door to one of the mall's smaller storage rooms, revealing four dirty mares who had their hands tied behind their back.

"How're my sweet little pets doing?" The white mare asked with a smile.

Aqua looked up at her and let out a cough. "We've been in here for hours..." She said, sounding weak. "When are ya gonna let us out?"

"When I come back," Surprise cooed as she walked over to her and knelt down. "One by one, though... No sense in rushing things--"

"Then, me last," Aqua said, almost cutting Surprise off.

The white mare raised an eyebrow before chuckling. "Oh, the noble one, huh?"

"I promised Twilight I'd protect them..."

"Well, maybe next time you don't make promises you can't keep. You'll be the first one out." Aqua glared at her as the mare stood up. "See ya soon, girls," she cooed, turning and leaving the room.

Vinyl pulled up to the Wet Mare and took one of the reserved parking spaces. She and Octavia then began to unload the DJ's equipment and bring them into the club. As they entered, they looked around to find the place dead silent.

Candy looked up at them from the counter and smiled lightly. "I wouldn't expect too much action tonight..." she said sadly.

"We'll see about that," the DJ said with a smirk as she and the gray mare began setting up.

Candy watched them before getting up and walking over to them. "You really think you can get people to come? After everything that's happened?"

"I got a feeling," Vinyl said with a smile as she pulled out a vinyl disc and set it on the machine.

She then turned up the volume and spun the disc, sending out a loud blast of music out of the speakers.

Cloudchaser's ear twitched as she sat up in bed, rubbing her eyes. Getting out of bed, she moved to the window and looked out. Down the street from the apartment complex where she and her sister were staying was the Wet Mare.

"Flitter?" She asked, before running to the other side of the bed and shaking her sleeping sister. "Sis!"

The mare stirred slightly before sighing, slowly opening her eyes. "Huh?"

"Get up. There's music coming from the club!"

"Music?" Asked Flitter, rubbing her eyes and sitting up. "You sure?"

Cloudchaser nodded happily. "Come on! I could use some fun. How about you?"

Flitter hesitated before smiling. "Mmm... You bet..."

Vinyl bobbed her head as she spun her discs. Both Octavia and Candy watched her with smiles until they suddenly heard the front doors open. Turning around, they saw Flitter and Cloudchaser enter the building. Flitter was wearing a long shirt that went down passed her waist and hopefully really short shorts. Cloudchaser, however, had on a shirt that stopped above her belly and short spandex shorts.

"Girls!" Yelled Candy happily, running towards them.

"Hey, Candy!" Cloudchaser greeted as the pink mare threw her arms around her.

They were soon joined by Octavia, who eyed all three of them. "Are we ready to show this city that we can still have some fun?"

The two sisters nodded and began making their way towards the changing rooms.

"Oh, this is gonna be so great," Candy cooed, turning to the cellist. "It was a good idea you two had."

Octavia scoffed lightly and looked over at the DJ. "It was all Vinyl's idea... I just agreed..."

Candy nodded and patted her back before heading back towards the bar. AS Octavia began making her way back to Vinyl, she heard the door open. Turning around, she spotted two mares and a stallion.

"Is... this place open?" Asked one of the mares.

Octavia smiled and nodded. "We're just setting up but, yes... We're open."

The mares and stallion smiled and entered before Octavia turned and headed over to Vinyl.

"Keep it up, Vinyl," she said with a smile. "First three customers."

The DJ smiled and kept spinning her discs. As she did, Candy left the bar with a tray, carrying drinks over to the customers.

"Come on," she said with a smile. "On the house."

Bit drove down the road with Surprise in the passenger seat, checking her phone.

"So, what do you plan on doing?" Asked the green mare. "Cause some trouble?"

"Trouble?" Asked the white mare. "Nah, I'm just gonna fuck with Candy a little... I've had enough action for one day. For now, I'd just like to relax and have fun."

Bit nodded with a smirk as they suddenly heard booming dance music coming from the club.

"Hear that?" Asked the green mare.

Surprise leaned forward in her seat, listening. "Well... I was expecting to screw with Candy but it seems like they got the whole thing going..." The white mare then smirked. "Mmm... Looks like I'm gonna have a lot of fun, tonight..."

Within the hour, the club was packed with those looking to blow off some steam after the events of earlier. Candy happily passed out free drinks while Cloudchaser and Flitter did their thing up on stage. Octavia stood beside a nude Vinyl as the DJ spun her discs and altered the sounds to create one rocking beat.

As the music filled the room, no one heard the front door open. The white mare looked around before smiling, letting the door close behind her.

"Ah, the night life..." she cooed, making her way towards the crowd.

As she did, she began slowly clapping. Clap. Clap. Clap. Everyone slowed to a stop as the DJ began to stop the music. When silence had fallen and all eyes were on her, Surprise smiled.

"Hello, Ponytropolis," she cooed as she walked over to Candy, taking a glass from her tray and winking seductively at her. When the pink mare looked away, Surprise smiled wider and looked at the crowd again. "I have to hand it to all of you... Good job! Ready to party even after this morning... Rather impressive, to be honest..." She then took a sip, letting out a sigh after she swallowed. "Mmm... Also, you don't have to be afraid of going outside. Our fight is not with you! That's over and done with!" She sang, setting the empty glass down on the tray. "Now comes the fun!"

As she finished, she heard a noise behind her. Quickly turning around, she found a green mare about to stab her in the back. Quickly grabbing the mare's wrist, Surprise squeezed harder and forced her to her knees as she pulled out her gun. She then placed the barrel of her gun right next to the mare's head, making her whimper and gasp with sharp pain.

"Dewy Meadows..." Surprise said, seemingly knowing the mare. "I suggest if you ever want to see your daughter again you drop... the fucking... knife..." she said darkly, the mare obeying as the knife dropped to the floor. The white mare then looked around the room. "I'm not here to fight but if you so wish it I will kill every one of you... Otherwise, let's cool the shit and have some fun!"

She then put her gun away and gently took the mare's arm, helping her up. As she did, the mare sniffled and quickly left the building, probably to go see her daughter. After a brief moment of extended silence, the music started back up again.

"That's more like it..." the white mare cooed as she made her way towards the DJ booth.

Octavia was watching Vinyl spin the discs when she realized Surprise approaching them. She then tapped the DJ on the shoulder, who looked up to see the white mare.

"Hey, you two," Surprise cooed. "I see you got this place feeling lively again..."

"It's sort of our job," Octavia said as Vinyl said nothing.

The white mare smiled and nodded. "So, it is..." A smirk then spread across the mare's face. "So how much for you?" She asked, running a finger down Octavia's arm. The gray mare pulled away slightly, getting a sigh from the white mare. "I'm not up to anything..." she said, crossing her arms. "I just want a fun time with a vampire. I'll even pay."

Octavia raised an eyebrow as Vinyl watched them.

"If she goes, I go," the DJ said, sounding defensive.

The cellist held up her hand. "No, Vinyl... I got this. You just keep playing your music."

Vinyl hesitated, looking at Surprise before looking back at Octavia. "Fine... If you're okay with it... Just be sure to call for help if you need it."

"Oh, relax..." Surprise cooed as she held out her hand. "I'll be gentle..."

Octavia hesitantly reached out and took her hand. "That, I'd like to see..." she said, clearly not believing that this mare had the capacity to play nice.

The white mare smirked and began leading her away from the DJ booth towards the side hallway where all the rooms were. When they found an empty one, Surprise opened it and stepped aside.

"After you," she cooed.

The gray mare eyed her before backing into the room so she could keep her eyes on Surprise. The white mare then entered and closed the door.

Chrysalis rubbed Fluttershy's back, who was leaning up against her and nuzzling her neck. The Changeling's eyelids began to get heavy as she let out a yawn, gently nuzzling the top of Shy's head. The pegasus let out a yawn of her own, eyes closing and breathing calmly.

The Changeling smiled down at her before looking over at Sunset, who was seated next to them against the wall. She had her knees pulled up to her chest, trying to keep warm as she sat against the side of the building. Hesitating only slightly, Chrysalis reached out and took the mare's shoulder, pulling her over.

Sunset let out a gasp of surprise before Chrysalis put her arm around her, holding her close. The orange mare looked at Chrysalis, giving her a light smile. The Changeling smiled back before all three mares began to doze off.

Surprise gently lay Octavia on her back on the bed, both mares now completely nude. The white mare then crawled on top of her and began trailing kisses up from her belly to her neck.

"How's this?" Asked Surprise.

"Admittedly, not that bad..." Octavia confessed as she let out soft coos at the kisses. "Why not take off that necklace? Do you always wear it?"

"Only when I'm around Vampires," the white mare said with a smile, moving lower and giving the mare's right nipple a lick. "With it on, I'm untouchable."

"Untouchable, huh?" Asked Octavia, sounding like she didn't believe that. "What if you're caught off guard?"

Surprise smirked and lifted her head. "Fine... Let's test it out," she said as she sat up. "Try and rip my heart out."

Octavia went wide-eyed, not sure if she heard correctly. "Sorry, come again?"

"Rip out my heart. I bet you can't do it."

"Well, it's... not that I can't..." The cellist said as she sat up, too. "And I really want to, believe me... But, if this is to prove that your necklace does what you say it does... Well... Wouldn't you be expecting it?"

"Just catch me off guard," the white mare replied with a smirk.

"But, you're expecting--"

"Come on, Octavia, while I'm y--" Surprise interrupted before Octavia thrust her hand forward in an attempt to tear out Surprise's heart.

As her fingers hit the white mare's body, the amulet opened up, making the vamp screech and jerk away in pain. As fell off the bed and scooted back against the wall, the door burst open, revealing Vinyl.

"The fuck?!" She asked angrily, clearly hearing what happened.

"Vinyl..." Surprise started as she got off the bed. "Chill..."

"Chill? You said you'd take it easy!" The yellow-haired mare ignored her and knelt down next to a cowering Octavia. "What are you doing?!" Vinyl asked loudly.

"I said chill..." Surprise repeated before gently taking the back of Octavia's head and pulling her face to her neck. "Go on... Drink."

Octavia hesitated, letting out a light sniffle before biting into the mare's neck, slowly drinking her blood. Surprise closed her eyes and tilted her head back. The more blood that was drained from her, the more strength Octavia got back. When she felt back to her normal self, she pulled away and licked her lips.

"See?" Asked Surprise, smiling at Octavia. "I told you it worked."

Vinyl raised an eyebrow, confused by what she just heard. "What? You mean you... you were just..."

"Just showing her how my necklace works, yes. I wasn't hurting her to hurt her..." the white mare said before smirking. "Why not join us?" She asked, winking at Vinyl before leaning in and kissing Octavia's neck. "The more the merrier, right?"

The DJ crossed her arms, hesitating before sighing. "Fine..." she said, before closing the door.
