Marla, Bronc and Keto: the former minions of Vulcan, the planet broker. After his defeat, the three of the them were given a pardon from Commander Lightning of Starfleet and were now under the care and teaching of Princess Sapphire. The three of them were all living in her castle with their three dragons. They've been trying to make a new reputation for themselves, but that hasn't been going well.

Everytime, they come into the city, people run away, screaming in fear. The minions felt a bit remorse due to that. The only ones who, other than Sapphire, who was willing to socialize with the minions were Sunset Shimmer and her friends. Rarity and Marla immedaiately hit it off with their love for fashion.

"You look smashing darling." Rarity said.

"Thank you." Marla said. "Ooh, let's try that shiny dress!"

"Perfect!"

Bronc and Twilight were getting along. Bronc showed Twilight everything he's learned and he reflected on how he missed the old days, he was a great technician and designed amazing machines and gadgets for technological companies throughout the dimensional star-systems. Working hard day and night. "Amazing!" Twilight said.

Spike shook his head, "Great two Twilights."

And Keto and Pinkie Pie were the best of friends with their liking of sweets. "Oh, coconut cream pie! My favorite!"

"No way! It's mine too! Along with peach cobbler, apple and pumpkin! Wanna try some more?" Pinkie asked, holding many pies in her hands.

Keto started to drool a little. "Bring it on!" he said excitedly.

All the while, Sapphire had been keeping an eye on them and reported back to Commander Lightning, using the magical journal from Sunset Shimmer.

Anyway, the minions were somehwat accepted by her friends while the other people were still untrsuting of them. They all sighed as they sat in their bedroom. "Oh come on, you three. It's not that bad." Sapphire reassured.

"Yeah right, everyone else except your friends still see us monsters." Marla groaned.

"They'll come around... eventually." Sapphire said nervously. The minions still looked down in the dumps.

"Hey, how about we take a little walk through town, maybe that'll cheer up guys up?" Sapphire suggested.

The minions sighed, "Yeah sure." The three of them sadly got up and followed Sapphire out the door.

Meanwhile, far from the city in the countryside, a young teenage girl appeared on the ground. She had long, brown hair and she was wearing a white shirt underneath a jean jacket. She was wearing a small jean skirt and she had a small purse as well. Her eyes glowed, "Hehe, perfect soon that special girl will be mines for the taking." she licked her lips and she started to walk towards the city in the distance.

---

Sapphire was happily skipping down the street with the minions by her side. The people, as the minions except, ran away screaming in fear of them. Keto sighed, "Maybe this was a bad idea."

Sapphire turned around, "Oh come on guys, thing will get better."

The minions still looked sad. Sapphire turned back around only to bump into a young teen. "Oh sorry." Sapphire said.

"That's okay. I'm Sarah."

"I'm Sapphire Sunlight."

"And judging by the wings, you're a Princess?"

Sapphire blushed a little, "Hehehe, kinda. It's don't really go by Princess, just Sapphire Sunlight is okay."

"Okay."

"So what are you doing here?" Sapphire asked.

"I'm here to attend Canterlot College." Sarah replied.

"Okay, it on a little uptown, you can't miss it."

"Thank you." Sarah's eyes flashed in an instant and she walked away. The minions approached Sapphire, having a feeling that something was going on with Sarah, but she didn't let on too much. But they know something's up. "She seems nice." Sapphire said.

"Too nice." Marla commented.

"Yeah, something's going on with her." Keto added.

"Oh don't worry, I'm sure she's fine. Now come on, let's go meet the others at the cafe." Sapphire said. The minions agreed and walked a with Sapphire to the cafe.

Meanwhile, Sarah was peeking around a corner. "This will be sweet." she hissed. She hissed, revealing sharp fangs and glowing yellow eyes.

Sapphire and the minions met with Sunset and the others at the cafe. As usual, everyone, except for the gang, rushed out of the cafe in fear of the minions, much to their dismay. "Oh darlings, don't worry things will lighten up for you all." Rarity reassured.

"That's what Sapphire keeps telling us." Bronc grumbled.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you three will make a new life for yourselves." Lightning added.

The minions still looked unconvinced. Anyway, Sapphire told the gang about the new girl named Sarah. "So... she just appeared out of nowhere and asked where the college was?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah." Sapphire replied.

"But there's something going on with her, I can feel it." Marla said.

"Yeah, something's going on with that girl." Bronc agreed.

"You talking about me?" Everyone jumped as Sarah suddenly appeared. "Sarah, what are you doing here?" Sapphire questioned.

"I just wanted to check on my bestest friend, Sapphire." Sarah said, acting very perky. "Come on, besty let's go hang out."

"Hehe, okay." Sapphire said and she followed Sarah outside. "Sometimes, Sarah is too naive for her own good." Marla grumbled.

"Yeah.... I'm getting the same vibe. Something is wrong with her. Nobody is that perky except Pinkie Pie." Sunset stated.

Marla, Bronc and Keto got up and trailed Sapphire and Sarah to the outside of the city along with Sunset and the others. They found the two. "So what are we doing here, Sarah?" Sapphire asked.

"Oh... just for a little fun." Sapphire turned around to see Sarah with her fangs baring and her eyes glowing yellow. "Woah, what the-?!" Sapphire cried as she backed away. "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a girl who wants to suck on some of your blood." Sarah hissed, stalking closer to Sapphire. "Suck my blood?!"

"Yeah, so hold still." Sarah hissed and lunged towards Sapphire, until Marla and Lightning kicked her away, sending her rolling on the ground. "You okay Sapphire?" Marla asked.

"Y-Yeah." Sapphire said a little shaken.

Sarah got up hissing. Applejack lassoed her, but she bit right through the rope. "Give me your blood!" Sarah cried.

Marla, Bronc, Keto and Lightning stood in front of Sapphire, "No way!" Marla said.

"You're not sucking our friends blood!" Rainbow exclaimed. Sapphire looked deeply at Sarah's face and in her eyes. Sapphire felt a pink stripe move over her eyes. "STOP!" she cried. Everybody froze. Sapphire stepped in front of the minions and Lightning, "I'll... let you suck.. some of my blood."

"WHAT?!" Everyone exclaimed.

"Sapphire, no!" Fluttershy cried.

"Don't do it!" Starla added.

"I.. have to." Sapphire approached Sarah and she held out her arm to her. Sarah let out a small hiss and looked at Sapphire. Sapphire nodded at Sarah. Sarah hissed and she sank her fangs into her arm. Sapphire grunted in pain while some of the others looked away in fear. As quickly as it started, it ended and Sarah retracted her fangs and her fangs vanished and her eyes returned to normal. Sapphire was left with two small puncture holes in her arm and feeling a bit light-headed. She almost fell over if it weren't for the minions catching her. "Easy Sapphire, easy." Bronc said.

Sarah calmed down for a moment before she zipped off. "Hey!" Rainbow cried, but she was gone. "Darn it! She got away!"

"We'll worry about her later, Rainbow. Right now we need to get Sarah back to her castle." Lightning said. "Sunset, go get Mr. Grandruler, Celestia and Luna."

"Got it." Sunset ran off while Marla and Bronc supported Sapphire as the gang walked her back to her castle.

---

Soon she was laying in bed with an ice pack on her head. "Here." Applejack gave her some water to help get some blood pumping into her body. "Thanks." Sapphire gratefully drank the water and gave a sigh. Mr. Grandruler, Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna came into the room along with Sunset.

"So this new girl named Sarah ate some of Sapphire's blood?" Celestia questioned.

"Yes and then she ran off in the blink of an eye." Sunset informed.

"We knew something was up with her but we never thought she was like that." Marla said.

"Yeah, you would have thought Sarah was a vampire?" Pinkie asked.

"No one." Lightning deadpanned. "But the sharp fangs may have been a giveaway."

Sapphire sat up in her bed, "Sapphire, no, you have to lay down, suagrcube." Applejack advised.

Sapphire groaned and layed back down. "So what do we do now? We have a vampire running around the island! She could drink someone's blood by now." Rainbow said with worry.

"We just have to find her, somehow." Lightning said.

"But how are we gonna track her?" Spike asked. "She could be anywhere by now."

"We just have to wait until she makes a move." Celestia said.

"In the meantime, you all have to keep an eye on Sapphire, if the vampire suck her blood once she may try and come for it again." Mr. Grandruler said.

"Yes sir." Sunset said. A little chirp was heard a little Night Light, Eclipse flew into the room and landed on Sapphire's stomach. Eclipse then licked her face and warbled in worry. "Oooh, I'm alright, Eclipse." Sapphire cooed.

"She just need her rest, sugarcube." Applejack added. Eclipse walked over to Sapphire right side and curled up. "Awwww." Fluttershy cooed.

"Now let's give Sapphire some rest." Celesto advised. The others agreed and left Sapphire alone with her little dragon and the minions to rest. Unaware that a few yards from the castle, Sarah saw the gang leaving the castle. "That girl was... willing to give me her blood. No one... has ever done that for me before... maybe... NO! I can't it would put her in danger. The best thing I can do is keep my distance from her and the other humans. Sarah then turned away and vanished.
