>Bloodline in Equestria >Be Pinkie Pie >A funny lookin' pony has strolled into Sugarcube Corner. “Good mornin' sir, what can I get you today?!” >He's taken aback by your sudden outburst. >His dark leathery wings fan out abruptly, causing you to scratch your head. “You look kinda different to most other ponies in town. You're like a pegasus but... Not a pegasus. Can ya tell me what ya are mister?” >An old groan of a voice sounds. >”A batpony.” >His low-hung head raises itself. >He looks like he's more than 300. “Wow! That's so neat! How are you so old?” >The thingy flares some teeth. >They look sharp. >It causes you to break a little sweat. “H-heh. How do those work?” >The creature's eyes expand into enormous orbs that remind you of Discord's balloon trickery. >That was no fun. >At least this pony isn't laughing at you. >”That's a funny story, actually.” “Oooh! I love funny stories! Tell me tell me tell me!” >He rasps out a chuckle. >”Well, it was a long, long time ago. You most likely did not exist. There was a family of rock farmers-” “My family were rock farmers!” >He stops, looking angrily at you. >”If you'll let me continue. Anyhoo, this family had a peculiar name to them. It was something of a delicacy.” “My family has a name credited to delicacies!” >He coughs irritably. “O-oh. Sorry mister.” >”And as it so happened... These babies right here-” >He points to his fangs. >”Survive off of delicacy-named pony blood. Lets me live lifetimes past any other pony.” “That's so weird! I have blood and I'm named after a delicacy!” >The old pone facehoofs. >”Come over here a second.” “What for? Do you want a cupcake from round here?” >Your hoof points to the glass case with all the treats and sweets inside. >”No, I- Whatever, sure.” >You bring the small pastry to him. >”Thank you, Pinkie Pie.” >Smiling, you hand it over. >...Wait, how did this pony know your name? >”You know, it's a real shame your sisters are gone.” “M-my sisters?” >”Indeed... the poor creatures. They're with the Moon now.” >Quivering, you try to anticipate this freak's next move. >During the afternoon, the Element of Laughter was found on the floor of her shop. >The only indication of what had happened was some teeth marks in her neck.
