- >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.
