“Woah, what a party!” Berry Punch said, coming out of Sugarcube Corner.

She giggled because she couldn't control her hiccups, obviously, she had too much punch tonight. She took a turn on an alley to get to her house and then she screamed. She thought she had jsut seen a giant pair of batwings, probably from a manticore, but when the creature step into the moonlight, it was just good ol Fluttershy.

“Oh, you startled me!” Berry said, sighing. “Hey Fluttershy, didn´t saw you at Pinkie´s tonight.”

“Oh, I saw you…” Fluttershy said, leaning seductively over Berry. “I do saw you…”

“Oh woah, I never...I mean, there´s a bet going on about you and Rainbow but…”

“Shhh…” Fluttershy ordered and leaned over Berry, spreading her bat-shaped wings to cover them.

“Thank goodness you´re here!” Nurse Redheart said, opening the curtain to show Twilight the room full of sick ponies.

Twilight got a sense of deja-vu looking at them.

“I have no idea what´s gotten into them. They´re all extremely weak but can´t tell me what happened, they only mumble about batwings,” the nurse explained.

“A mystery indeed…”

“Pinkie Pie, this is serious!” Twilight said, returning her the hats Pinkie placed on their heads. “Ponies are in danger!”

“I know! There´s a mysterious vampire lurking the town! I thought it was a perfect time for us to be detectives again! You know,s each for clues, interrogate suspects, have awkward almost romantic moments…” Pinkie said, forcing a magnifying glass on Twilight's eyes.

“Pinkie, that´s ridicu…” Twilight lost her train of thought because she did noticed something thanks to the glass. “Interesting. All the ponies have...fruit cutie marks.”

“Great Caesar's Salad!”

“But what does that means?” Nurse Redheart asked.

Pinkie and Twilight pondered and then reached the same conclusion.

“APPLEJACK!”

****

“What's gotten into ya two?” Applejack asked, watching her friends trying to regain their breath.

“Flutterbat is on the loose again!” Pinkie shouted.

“Uh?”

“Applejack, ponies with fruit Cutie Marks have been attacked by a shadowy pony with batwings. Does that sounds familiar?” Twilight said.

“But that s impossible! She´s cured, ya did that!”

“Maybe it wasn´t permanent, maybe there was still some traces of vampire fruit bat on her, maybe…”

“Apple Bloom!” Pinkies houted, potng at th aprrohcing filly.

“Apple Bloom! Are ya okay, are ya hurt?” Applejack asked, shaking her sister up and down.

“A-a-a-a-a-ah´m fine! Put me down!”

“Of course she´s fine! She doesn't even have a Cutie Mark yet!” Pinkie said and Twilgith galred at her, making Pinkie blush and apologize.

“Are ya sure yah´re okay?” Applejack insisted.

“Ah´m fine but ahpm mad. Fluttershy just now was really mean to me!”

“Fluttershy? You just saw Fluttershy?” Twilight asked, alarmed.

“Yeah, she was going to the barn with Big Mac and when ah asked what they were doing she hissed at me! Who does that?”

All the ponies gasped.

“Ah know, they´re probably kissing and that,” Apple Bloom saying, gagging. “But still, that was mighty rude of her, don´t ya thinking, AJ? AJ? Sis? Twilight? Pinkie?”

*****

“Stop, creature of the night…” Pinkie said, holding a cooking book. “And repent!”

Twilight and Applejack had no idea what she intended but they all focused their looks on Fluttershy, who was passionately kissing Big Mac.

“Oh, maybe we made a mistake?” Pinky said.

Turns out they didn't, since Fluttershy turned into her bat self and hissed at them, ready to attack. Just when she let go of Big Mac, Applejack used her trusty lasso to trap her.

“Pinkie, mirror!” Twilight ordered, placing the mirror in front of Fluttershy and not even asking where did it came from.

After a few seconds of struggling, Fluttershy stared at her reflection and switched back to her normal self.

“Oh my, it happened again…”

****

“It started a few days ago. I was feeling tired so I took a nap and when I woke up, I was in the middle of Sweet Apple Acres. I figured I had just sleepwalked and went back home. But it happened again only this time I…” Fluttershy covered her face in shame. “I woke up next to a stallion!”

Pinkie whistled and Applejack punched her.

“I think I know what happened. You tried to repress your vampiric urge but subconsciously couldn't control it and went for an approximate target, ponies with fruit cutie marks,” Twilight explained.

“Then what are we gonna do? We can't have Flutter attacking ponies on her sleep!” Applejack said.

“If only there was a steady way to control her urges. Eventually she'll get a steady dosis and won't need the feel to hunt anymore. But how?” Twilight pondered.

Pinkie noticed the way Fluttershy was looking at Applejack and how she blushed when discovered. She waited for a few seconds and then coughed, pointing at Applejack. She then threw her arms in frustration when they didn't get her. She pointed at Applejack and Fluttershy a few times and finally they said “oooh”.

“Hey gang!” Rainbow Dash said, walking into Sugarcube Corner.

“How was Wonderbolt Camp, dear?” Rarity asked her.

“Not much. Spitfire gave me a medal,” Rainbow said, sitting down.

“Another one?” Twilight mocked her and Pinkie as already picking stuff for the regular “Rainbow-gets-a-medal” party.

“You know me. So, anything exciting happened this week?”

“Not…” Fluttershy began but then her wrist clock ringed.

She looked at Applejack, blushing a little. Applejack got up from the table, took her hat off and gave her a deep, long kiss. Then with a wink, went back to her seat, much to the confusion of Rainbow.

“...really.”
