Heartbeat shorts collection

>You are Anon, and your ears just picked up the most curious sound
>happy humming coming from one batfilly named Heartbeat
>Curious at what she’s up to now you follow the sound of her humming and soon enough you find her near your stereo system, sitting down on the floor with oversized headphones on her head
>She’s swaying her head back and forth to the beat of the bass, apparent on the display of your stereo system as a line that keeps bouncing up with every untz
>Suddenly the other lines on the display spring to life and heartbeat opens up her wings and now she’s swaying from side to side while flapping her wings to the unheard beat as well
>She hasn’t noticed you yet and you walk closer to her
>You can now hear the music trough the headphones, and it’s pretty catchy
>you walk next to her and she has not yet noticed you
>She’s now got her hooves holding the headphones on her head as she moves from side to side more roughly
>You peek at her face but she’s got her eyes closed and her mouth in a big grin
>You shake your head and poke her
>Heartbeat stops moving as she lets out an eep of surprise, followed with her whipping her head to the side as she notices you
>but as she does so, the cord comes loose from your stereo system and suddenly the music is blaring trough your speakers
>Heartbeats mouth turns into a scrunch as she stares back at you while sitting still
>She looks like a deer caught in headlights, her ears flat as she’s waiting to see how you’ll react to her going ahead and listening to your music collection without permission
>You stare back at Heartbeat while the music plays
>You know this song, it’s one of those catchy ones you have that makes you want to dance to it
>You start moving your foot to the beat
>Heartbeats eyes instantly focus on your foot pounding to the beat against the floor, and then she looks back at you as her ears perk back up
>you’re moving your head to the beat as well now and grinning at her as the music arrives at a part where the chorus and the faster beat starts
>And as it does you spring to life and start dancing to the music
>Heartbeat looks at you with awe as you bust out your dancing skills and move around on the floor, and soon enough she’s smiling and cheering you on
>You sign for her to join you and soon enough the two of you dance in the middle of your living room
>Heartbeat’s moving from side to side to the beat as you amuse her with an epic dance move after another
>As the music picks up again Heartbeat takes flight and you jump up from the split you did so the two of you can dance together, you hopping to the other side as Heartbeat flies to the opposite, and then switching around with each beat
>It was a batty sort of an evening


>You come home and the first thing you notice is the sound of little hooves stomping rapidly to the beat of upbeat music
>Curious what might be happening with the only one who can be making those noises you glance into the living room
>And there you have it, Heartbeat's playing stepmania in the middle of your living room, rapidly stomping on the gaming pad
>She finishes a song and as the large A letter appears onto the screen she jumps up into flight and does an excited little cheer in the air before landing back down and browsing trough more songs
"Having fun?"
>Heartbeat pauses and turns to you while nodding excitedly
>"Yeah! I'm beating all your scores!"
>You chuckle a little
"You know that was meant to be played on two legs instead of four, you're not exactly beating me"
>Heartbeat tilts her head and then tries to stand on two hooves before falling down with an oof
>"I can't do it on two"
>Heartbeat climbs back up
>"But it's not easier, it's more impressive to be able to do it with four instead of two!"
>Heartbeat nods her head sternly and then pushes out her chest out like she just won a debate while sitting down proudly
>"And I bet I can beat you on any song"
>That get's you interested and you dig out another playing pad
"How about we have a duel?"
>Hearbeat jumps up
>"Bring it on!"
>You set up the pad and then as both of you are ready you get to selecting a song while Heartbeat stretches her hooves
>You choose a devious song, one that starts up easy and slow and then suddenly jumps into absolute madness
>Honestly it's a song where you can barely survive, but you're betting on Heartbeat failing the song since it's so hard
>It's not like you're feeling a bit grumpy about her managing to beat all of your records, not at all, it's just because she did it with 4 hooves and thinks she's better than you
>You choose the song and as it starts up you and Heartbeat exchange glances
>She's giving you a smug look and then the music starts and both of you focus on the screen
>The start is easy, both of you have no trouble hitting all the steps and you get a good combo going
>But so does Heartbeat
>But then, the madness starts
>Hearbeat gasps as you grin and keep tapping the mat rapidly with your feet
>there's a small pause and you quickly glance at Heartbeat's side of the screen, but to your surprise she's still alive
>You look at her and find her with a look of absolute concentration on her face while her little hooves drum the pad rapidly
>A sudden sound pulls your attention back to the game and to your surprise you find yourself almost dying, seems like you focuses a bit too much on Heartbeat
>You rapidly try to save yourself while your feet scream at you in agony, but it's no use, you get the game over message
>You sigh angrily and sit down on the pad while catching your breath
>You look at Heartbeat and she's still going, her face in slight agony as a few beads of sweat fall from her face
"You can stop now, I already lost"
>Heartbeat just shakes her head quickly before hopping around to quickly slam the two arrow buttons behind her
>Her tiny hooves are a flurry as she hangs on
>She's not acing it but it is impressing
>Soon enough the song ends and Heartbeat collapses onto her back, panting wildly with her hooves in the air
>"I-I did it!"
>The screen shows her result, she got a B
>Wow, you've only gotten a C at best
"That's amazing"
>Heartbeat opens her eyes and smiles while catching her breath
>"But now my hooves hurt..."
>Heartbeat wiggles a little on the floor so her head turns towards you
>"Carry me to the couch Anon"
>Heartbeat extends her hooves towards you
"Can't you just fly there?"
>Heartbeat responds by giving you sad puppy eyes and waves her hooves a little n the air
"Alright I get it"
>Heartbeat squee's happily as you get up and pick her up into your arms before carrying her on to the couch
>You set Heartbeat down and she smiles happily wile lying on her back and squirming a little to get comfortable
>"Now bring me a blanket"
>You raise an eyebrow
"Are you planning on napping now?"
>Heartbeat shakes her head
>"No, but it's warmer under it"
>You shrug and fetch her a blanket and leave her comfily lying under the blanket while you go and get started on doing your own daily things


>You are staring at Heartbeat as she happily licks away at a large lollipop, stopping to playfully gnaw on it every now and then before resuming her licking
>You’re not staring at her this much because you’re imagining something indecent, but because you’ve noticed something about her
”Heartbeat”
>Heartbeat pauses mid-gnaw and turns her head to look at you with the lollipop still in her mouth
”I’ve noticed that you...”
>Heartbeat removes the lollipop from her mouth and stares at you intensely, the curiosity to hear what you have to say apparent in how her ears stand up and point in your direction
“You’ve got pudgier Heartbeat”
>Heartbeat’s mouth falls open with a little gasp and the lollipop falls from her hooves to the floor
>“Really?”
>You nod and Heartbeats ears droop down
”It’s your fault, you’ve been eating way too much candy lately”
>Heartbeat hangs her head sadly, her little wings joining into the overall droopiness, but then she suddenly lifts up her head, her ears and wing both perking back up
>“Wait, isn’t it your fault since you always give me candy?”
>You shake your head
”Even if you get candy you don’t need to eat it all right away”
>Heartbeat tilts her head and looks at you like you grew a second head
>“Yes I do”
>You give Heartbeat an unamused look as she starts sulking and glaring at you
>“It’s your fault I’m pudgy...”
>You sigh as Heartbeats expression grows sulkier and her ears droop back down, as do her wings
>“I don’t want to be pudgy...”
>You sigh
”Don’t worry, I know how to fix it”
>Heartbeat stops sulking and her ears perk back up
>“...really?”
>You nod and Heartbeat looks happy again
”Yes, you need to exercise and sweat a lot”
>Heartbeat starts sulking again
”Or...”
>She stops sulking again and waits for the other option
”Just stop eating so many sweets”
>And she’s sulky once again, and collapses on the floor onto her tummy while looking grumpy
”It’s not that bad Heartbeat”
>She’s not looking at you
>“Yes it is”
”Even if it’s exercise, we can always turn it into a game like tag”
>her grumpiness lessens
>“That could be fun...”
>You walk over to the sulky batfilly and lift her to stand up properly
”Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll have fun”
>She looks like she’s not trusting you 100% on this, but her mood also appears to be visibly brightened
>“I guess it could be fun”
>You give her a smile
”That’s the spirit”
>Heartbeat glances at the lollipop that she dropped on the floor and her ears droop a little, but she says nothing
>You notice this, and decide to brighten her mood
”How about I give you another lollipop since that one fell on the floor?”
>Heartbeat looks surprised but then smiles excitedly
>“I can have another one?”
>She’s practically wagging her tail and flapping her wings in excitement while waiting for your answer
>You can’t help but to smile
”Sure you can”
>Heartbeat lets out a happy eeeeeeeeee as you go to your kitchen and fetch another lollipop for her
>Heartbeat flies after you and you hand her the lollipop
>She gleefully accepts it and starts slowly flying back to your living room while gnawing at it
>You can’t help but to feel happy as well at her excitement
>...
>...no wait



>Another evening with Heartbeat relaxing in your lap as the two of you watch some human world cartoons you brought with you to Equestria
>But since you've already seen the episodes yourself, you're not paying much attention to the tv screen
>instead you stare at her ears
>she moves them around while staying focused on the cartoon
>You get an idea and touch her tuft
>Heartbeat flicks her ear
>you do it again and she moves her ear again
>You should stop teasing her, you insert your hand into her mane for ruffles, but as you do Heartbeat quicky flies off from your lap
>"Eeeeeee!"
>Heartbeat turns to look at you while hovering in the air and hiding her head beneath her hooves
"Did I do something bad? Sorry"
>Heartbeat keeps looking at you with caution
>"Your hands are cold..."
>wondering if that's true, you place your hands upon your cheeks and suddenly it is like a couple of snowmen were raping your face
"WHAT THE HELL THEY'RE LIKE THE COLD FINGERS OF DEATH!"
>You detach your hands from your face and look at Heartbeat with shock
"WHAT DO I DO?!"
>Heartbeat looks around frantically before pointing towards your kitchen
>"You have warm water there!"
>You spetnaz off of your couch as Heartbeat follows you in a tactical position behind you as the two of you rush to the kitchen
>You shoot for the kettle full of boiling water and Heartbeat shoots for the cupboard and throws you a large pot
>You catch it while somersaulting and using your momentum you kick the kettle into the air, and just as planned the kettle sprays all of its water onto the pot
>Heartbeat does a little cheer of success as you stab your hands into the water
>and then you remember that the water was just recently boiled for your tea
"AAAAAAAAAAAA"
>You pull out your hands from the boiling water of death and scream at them
"AAAAAAAAAAA"
>You turn to look at Heartbeat and scream at her
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
>Heartbeat lands and gives you a sad look
>"I forgot it was boiling water.."
>aawww
>You painfully dry off one of your seriously burned hands and give Heartbeat a little pat on the head
"I can't be mad at you, you're just too cute"
>Heartbeat blushes a little and smiles
"Here, let me give you a lollipop you can eat while I bandage my arms"
>Heartbeat takes flight and spins around in the air excitedly while you dig up a batpony lollipop for her
"Now go back to watching the cartoon, it's getting to the exciting part now"
>Heartbeat grabs the candy with glee and rushes back to your living room while you shake your head and laugh
"Dump my hands into boiling water, what a goofball..."


>Brushing Heartbeats mane while she sits in your lap
>She asks you if she's a pretty filly
>tell her she is
>she gives you a big toothy grin and gives a cute little laugh while blushing a little
>keep brushing her mane
>She starts humming happily and moving a little from side to side
>tell her she needs to stay still
>she gives you the sad puppy eyes and asks if she can't move around even a little?
>cave in and tell her she can
>She smiles and gives your chest a very brief nuzzle with the top of her head before returning to moving around and humming happily
>you can't help but to smile when she starts moving around even more and humming louder as her ears and wings join into the little dance by twitching to the tune
>put the brush down and start drumming against your thighs
>before you know it you and Heartbeat have turned the living room into a make-belief stage for your little performance
>Heartbeat is holding the brush as a microphone and singing into it happily
>You drum away against various household objects
>it's a musical sort mane brushing session


>You are lying on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket like you would be a burrito
>for comfy and warm reasons
>Heartbeat flies over you and wonders what you're doing
>You tell her you're going to take a nap
>she decides to join you and lands on top of you
>you let her in into one of the folds of the blanket burrito
>she cozies up on top of your chest and the two of you start napping together
>her tufts tickle your face as she flicks her ears in her sleep
>Her mane is all over your face
>can't go to sleep because she's moving around and makes the burrito too warm with her bodily heat
>doesn't matter had cuddles
