Wow! Taffy really has anger issues in this chapter! Lol, spoiler alert! Ps, this chapter is meant to make you have the feels! HAHAHAHA!

Taffy's eyes were glued to the screen still after the movie was done.

"Taffy? Taffyyyyyy?" Nightshade said, waving her hoof in front of her face. Taffy didn't notice and stared through her holy hooves at the fuzzy TV screen.

A brown blur at the edge of Taffy's vision distracted her.

"RAWR!" Yelled a certain brown stallion, jumping next to Taffy's left side.

"Gah!" Taffy screeched, shooting up onto the ceiling. By the time Nightshade coaxed Taffy down again, there were many deep claw marks on the ceiling.

"Really? I've already gotten scared when this started, and ponies are still trying to make me jump!? Why I oughta..."
Most of the party guests have already left, except for a select few. Discord and Fluttershy were chatting at the bar, the mane six hitting the dance floor with Derpy (with Vinyl Scratch as DJ), and random background ponies door-lurking, getting ready to leave. Mischis and Skuller were over near the giant fireplace on the ceiling, chatting.

"So, you really think that's her?" Asked Skuller.

"Oh, come on! You can't still have doubts! The evidence is overwhelming! First being a scaredy cat, ordering Sprite, then the TV thing, then the Bulk, which was just like the Hulk!" Mischis said slightly too loud. Taffy heard, her ears pricked in their direction. She turned and faced them.

"Evidence about what?" She growled. The room fell silent as Taffy levitated over, dropping her punch glass, shattering it on the ground.

"Ummmm... Nothing!" Squeaked Skuller, managing to dart outside. Mischis wasn't as lucky though, as Taffy grabbed her in her magical grasp before she could make it out the door.

"Seriously though, what?" Taffy asked.

"Uhmm... Can we talk about this privately?" Asked Mischis.

"No. Just tell me." Taffy demanded.

"O-k... Are... You..."
"Please, spit it out. The suspense is killing me."
"Are you Taffy, our friend, Skuller and I?" Mischis asked.

"Wait... Skuller? M...M-Mischis?" Taffy stammered.

"Y-yes... Now you can see why I wanted to talk in private."
"Very well." Taffy said. She and Mischis walked to the other side of the room, near the fireplace.

"Knowing Skuller, she probably won't come back." Taffy said. The room was still eerily silent except for the occasional cough, making the situation awkward.

"So... Taffy?" Mischis started.

"Yeah?" Taffy was curious as to what she wanted to say, although having many questions herself too.

Mischis opened her mouth to say something, then closed it.

"Just spit it out!" Yelled a random background pony.

"Shut up! Go back to what you guys were doing!" This made everypony shuffle their hooves and go back to doing whatever it was they were doing originally. Taffy turned her head back to Mischis.

"Well, me and Skuller were coming here to save you, and take you home. Your mom is wondering where you went." Mischis said finally. Taffy's jaw fell a-slack.

"I don't need saving! I'm better off here than I was there! I won't go back! I WON'T!"
Before she realized it, she was in the air, glowing red, eyes dark and glaring at Mischis. Picking her up in her magical grasp, she pulled her to her face. She bared her fangs in a menacing growl, making Mischis flinch.

"I WON'T..." She growled again.

It was then she realized how much of a scene she was causing. Fluttershy fainted, Discord rushing to her side. The rest of the mane six had mouths open or disbelieving eyes. Some other ponies took cover, and Nightshade stared in horror. Aura Speeder was in the back, eating popcorn with an approving look at Taffy.

"I'm... I'm so sorry..." Taffy half whispered, dropping Mischis on the ground with a thud. She whipped her head around, looking at all the alarmed horrified ponies around. Mischis coughed and sputtered, and weakly got up in time to see Taffy barreling through the door and flying away outside, presumingly back to Ponyville. Her head fell back with a thump.

Nightshade ran to Mischis's side, along with a few other ponies who were concerned. As soon as Fluttershy awoke again, Discord flew to Mischis and picked her up with his magic, and had a few ponies rush with him to the Ponyville General Hospital.
-

Nightshade stared out the window as rain pummeled it mercilessly. Rain splattered everywhere. On roofs, on dirt paths, and on ponies running home. The gloomy shine of dim lights on the soaked dirt path did nothing to cheer up Nightshade as she stared at the depressing scene. A brief flash of lightning with a loud boom/clap following snapped Nightshade out of her thoughts. She pried her eyes from the window, looking down the hospital hall. She sighed, walking down to the second to last room. Opening the door, she walked into Mischis's room. Mischis had a doctor next to her, looking at her neck where Taffy had gripped her.

"I'm so sorry for what happened... It was way out of character for Taffy to get so angry like that.. I...I-"
"I know what she's like... She's just acting like a spitting image of her father... It- COUGHCOUGHCOUGH!" The doctor rushed over and helped her, letting her resume her chat at a slower pace.

"Anyways... It's because her dad went to jail when she was 8, for choking her mom... It didn't kill her, but he just got out recently and Taffy says they always fight... He also has records of choking a few of his college buddies, an' thieving from a few roadside places... I think that if I can be a good friend, I might be able to change her for the better... She doesn't want to go back to her horrible life... I can't blame her..." Mischis coughed out miserably. Nightshade hugged her with teary eyes.

"I think that's where her evil side came from then, when she took over Ponyville and Sweet Apple Acres..." Nightshade whispered, squeezing her hoof.

"Fare-well." Mischis said.

"Get better." Nightshade said, closing the door.

"I need to find Taffy. Celestia only knows where she is..." Nightshade resolved as she walked down the hallway.

"Yeah, and just how do you, a changeling, think she's gonna do that? I mean, seriously, you can't even change form!" Mocked an all too familiar voice. Nightshade whipped around to face Aura Speeder. He was currently with his clipboard, jotting something down. He ripped it out, and walking by her he stamped it on her rear.

"Good luck walking around Equestria without causing panic! And a soar rump..."

Fuming, Nightshade grabbed the paper in her magic, looking at it. It said, 'Kick me! I'm a loser changeling!' on it, with a poorly drawn picture of Nightshade. Nightshade ran up to Aura, up in his face. She hissed. Turning around, she bucked his face with all her might and hit him in the jaw, sending him flying backwards. Turning, she buzzed downstairs and out the door, into the night.

"Looks like you finally got what you deserved- a kick to the face!" Taunted Discord, as he hovered above him.

"Where did you come from? Nevermind... Oh, and before I forget, Flutters is all yours. I don't need her anymore. I have my eyes on a new mare, and a more... Beautiful mare." Aura gloated, slowly getting up and trotting away as if nothing had happened. Discords jaw fell agape, and he shook his head, fist pumping the air. Finally Aura decided not to go after his precious.

Howdy do, everypony? Sorry I have not updated in a looooong time. I had huge writers block, so I decided yesterday to map out where I want this story to go. So you can now expect the usual Saturday updates!

Technically, even though it is November, it is still almost Nightmare Night in this story. So, Happy Haunting! (*HINT HINT*)

KITTY!
