Here’s my thirteenth day of Halloween drawing for the 13 Halloween Days. It’s Part 3 of 3 of a side story with me as my OC, Film Reel, and Fluttershy, spending more Nightmare Nights together, until one such night, something happens to the both of them.
 
Film Reel tried to stop Flutterbat from eating the apples from the barrel, but the bat pony hissed at him angrily and continued eating. With no other choice, Film grabbed Flutterbat away from the barrel and she squirmed, kicked, and hissed more angry than before. But then, Flutterbat bit one of Film’s fore legs and he dropped her. Sadden by this, Film looked at his bite wound and Flutterbat looked at Film. She sees him crying and feels worried about him for what she done. But as the bat pony moved close to him, Film stood up and stared at her. He started to change form. His eyes turned dark purple, his skin turned dark grey, his mane and tail turned black and spiky, his wings and ears became sharp, and his Cutie Mark turned into a broken film strip. He called himself, Black Strip, and intensely stared at Flutterbat, growling at her. But Flutterbat looked at Black with loving eyes. How cute, she thought, this pony’s dark side is much handsomer than that yellow skinned one. Black continued staring at Flutterbat and bites at her as she approached him. The bat pony gave Black a neck rub, a nuzzle, and a kiss. He looked at her in surprise. She loves me, he thought, nopony ever loved a creature as mean as me. He gives her a neck rub, a nuzzle, and a kiss. They hugged each other in romantic embrace and they turned back to their normal selves. Film and Fluttershy wondered what happened to them. Fluttershy explained that a spell of Twilight Sparkle caused a bounce back from a vampire fruit bat she stared at so it wouldn’t eat Applejack’s apples, but it gave her the creature’s powers whenever she eats apples. Film explained that ever since he was made fun of and bullied by other fillies for making amateur movies, he let loose his anger in the form of Black Strip, who was to help him overcome his bully fear, but he ended up taking over and caused pain to those who are angry at him or hurt him. Knowing what happened, the pegasi agreed to not let Fluttershy eat anymore apples and to not let Film get hurt by hated. But, they also agreed to control them and use them when necessary. After another embracing hug, the two pegasi headed home, leaving a crowd of scared ponies to look at them in wonder.
