You're so thirsty but... >you suddenly spot a glass of tomato juice in the fridge and suddenly your whole body tenses up >your heart beats wildly and you can't help but to lick your lips and graze your tongue against your fangs >...wait a minute fangs? >you quickly rush to the mirror and gasp in shock >Your ears now have wild tufts in them and you have fangs now >but the most shocking thing is your eyes, they are now blood red and with slit pupils "Oh no..." >the bite, the thirst, the bat like pony it all makes sense now "I have rabies!"     >Oh no, oh no no no >you are currently in panic >this must be some sort of a super-rabies since your lovely moth wings have turned leathery and batty >this is bad, you need help and fast >Birch! She reads a lot of books! She'll know what to do >you quickly fly out of your house and- >you stop and hover still as you blink a few times >wow, rabies gives you super night vision, moth eyes see in the dark well but now you can even see the veins of various mothponies going about on their nightly businesses > not to mention you can hear their hearts bumping like they were beside your ear >you take a sniff and suddenly you smell a lot of new things you never smelled before >this is bad, you're already hallucinating as the disease destroys your brain >shying away from the wary mothponies staring at you you fly quickly to Birch's house >You start pounding on the door and after a while a very tired looking Birch opens the door "Birch help me I have rabies!" >Birch stares at you with an unamused look on her face as she answers you >"Minty it's too late for pranks, take the contacts off and go to bed" >Before you can say anything the door is slammed shut >You hang your head while whimpering sadly, but then suddenly your whole body tenses up as you smell something...delicious... >You don't know why but you just have to go to the scent, and that's what you do, flying like a bat out of hell >you arrive to the source, which turns out to be Orange Pop who scraped her hoof while roller skating >there's a bleeding wound and... >Orange Pop is asking you something and... >before you know it you are licking the blood from her wound >it's...just amazing, it feels so good, tastes so good you, you just need to drink more >you start moaning wildly as you keep lapping up the blood, more you ne- >"Minty, why are you eating my blood?" >Orange Pop's words shake you back into control of your body >you pull away and awkwardly wipe your mouth as Orange Pop stares at you with worry >O-oh no... >Hanging around Caramel has given you a weird fetish! >You quickly fly back home in shame as your body hungers for more >maybe sleeping will cure it? Yeah, you'll do that...     >Ugh, morning...your body does not feel good... >You get up and walk to the mirror, but to your surprise you can't see yourself in the reflection >First rabies and now your mirror is broken? What bad luck, and you really loved that mirror... >with a sulky mood you attempt to eat breakfast but for some reason you can't bring yourself to swallow it >you should go to the doctor but your whole body feels so sluggish you just go back to bed... >your eyes fly open again as you suddenly spring to life >it's the night time again and for some reason you feel extremely good and alert >maybe its healing up? But the weird thirst is still there, just not as strong as before >you should go knock on the doctors door already, it's not getting better on its own this rabies >you walk out of your house and for some reason ponies that see you suddenly run and fly away in terror >you hope the rabies hasn't gotten worse...if only your mirror worked... >you flap your new wings a few times and take flight >wow, it's easier to fly with these weird wings compared to your old ones >as you fly towards the doctors house you suddenly stop as your new sharp eyes notice something in the woods >It's the batpony! >You quickly change where you're heading and dive towards the batpony "You gave me rabies!" >Wow, your voice sounds different and scary >The pony looks at you and suddenly starts running deep into the dense woods, too dense to fly in >you land down and start running after the pony, but as you do you suddenly hear a shriek of terror >you head towards the sound and to your surprise you find the batpony, impaled in a sharp branch of one of the trees >you gasp in shock "Oh no! Wait here I'll get he-" >but suddenly the pony turns to dust before your eyes >before you can properly react to it a weird feeling washes over you that almost makes your hooves give out from beneath you >and just like that your body feels normal again >you give yourself a check and find everything back to normal, no weird wings, no fangs, no nothing >oh wow, you know what this means >your body fought the rabies off >you look at the pile of dust >the batpony must have had a serious wood allergy... >such a shame...poor pony... >Well, now that you're cured there's no need to visit the doctor so you can just head back to sleep
