The air was almost energetic and happy around Pinkie Pie as the bounced joyfully though the ruins. Fluttershy didn't have the same feelings in this desolate city. She tried to hide her immense fear but was lacking the confidence and stature to do so. Pinkie Pie kept bouncing up and down, higher and higher. She jumped over garbage cans, broken down carriages, and even food stalls that had collapsed under the pressure of falling debris. All the sights and smells made Fluttershy feel sick.

"Umm, Pinkie Pie can you slow down a little?" Fluttershy asked in low soft tone.

"But if we slow down we might miss something really cool. Like a ice cream shop that didn't get smashed, or some birthday cake that might be cold and all alone." She replied back almost hitting the dim light hanging from a bent over pole.

"Oh, but we need to see if anypony is around." she said, "Twilight asked us to find any survivors. We may need to slow down and search a little slower and closer."

It was to late though, Pinkie Pie had already dashed off leaving a cloud of smoke in the shape of her body. Running madly with a grin going from cheek to cheek saying something about cake and ice cream.

"Oh no, Pinkie wait." She said reaching a hoof out toward someone who was no longer there. "Eeep" She squeaked lowering her a head and shivering with fear.The area around her felt like it was getting darker< creeping on her faster and faster. Her breath's began getting shorter and shorter. Trembling with terror she just froze up, petrified. A clattering sound came out from an alley."Eeek!" She screamed jumping in the air and grabbing to an overhead lamppost. "W-who's there?" She asked, "Pinkie Pie is that you?"

A shadow danced across a wall, running around the corner into a dark and mysterious concrete pass. Fluttershy slowly floated down and landed on the ground silently.

"Come on Fluttershy, be brave, don't have any fear, your the Element of Kindness. If you can handle Nightmare Moon, then you can handle an alley." She encouraged herself.

She began walking into the alley, shaking with fear and uncertainty. The alley was much more darker up close than far away. She took a deep breath and slowly put one hoof in front of the other. The shadow appeared again in front of an apartment building, before climbing up a fire escape ladder into a broken window. Fluttershy was about to fly up to the balcony when she felt a hoof on her shoulder.

"Ahh!" She squealed nearly jumping out of her skin. She slowly turned around to see a familiar pink smile.

"Hi! Whats up?" Pinkie Pie asked turning her head at an angle with big blue eyes, waiting for an answer to her question.

"Oh my." She said sighing with relief, "Where were you? I was so worried."

"Cake." She replied with complete and utter honesty.

"W-what?" Fluttershy asked, confused by her strange answer.

"I was looking for cake, Remember? I said it like a bijillion times. So, whats up?" She asked again, still curious of her friends findings while she was gone.

Fluttershy's eye's spun in different directions, as she shook the confusion out of her head, "I saw somepony climb that ladder, and I was just about to follow. Then you showed up." She explained.

"Oh oh oh, maybe they know where to find the cake." She said with excitement bursting out of her.

"Wait Pinkie Pie, I don't think that's a good idea. We need to..." But yet again, Pinkie was one step ahead of her, climbing the ladder and jumping into the window. "Oh fine.' She said flying over the balcony and in through the broken window.

The house seemed normal aside from the dirty walls and papers strewn across the floor. Pinkie was searching in the fridge mumbling about cake and parties. Then a rustling came from the other room. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy cautiously made their way to the room. the door was cracked open enough for them to peek through. There was a mare in a black hood that covered his face, though his white mane was falling down past his shoulders.

They would have stayed undected, if it wasn't for Pinkie slipping on a magazine and knocking the door open. The mare jumped up and stepped back next to the window behind him. Then he leaned down and let out a groan of pain as a dark glow came from under the hood and a horn appeared. Suddenly a dark portal opened up and Changelings poured out. The Mare leaped out of the window and fled.

"Oh my, what are we gonna do?" Fluttershy said hiding behind Pinkie who just picked herself off of the floor.

"We party!" She said as her hair seemed to deflate and turn darker, pulling out her famous party cannon and blasted two of them through the wall. The others replied to this attack with full force. They all jumped at once, but Pinkie didn't flinch. Instead she pulled a conveniently placed bat out of the corner behind the door and swatted one aside like a fly. The others soon joined them as Changelings went flying across the room. The leftover Changelings figured out that Pinkie was to much for them, so they moved on to Fluttershy.

The first one jumped at her, but failed when Fluttershy tripped over a broken table leg and it flew into a mirror behind her, as the shards of glass pierced it's brain killing it. Two more charged at her from opposite sides, lunging at her with all their might. She saw this and ducked in fear. The two Changelings couldn't stop themselves as they crashed into each other knocking them unconscious. The last ran straight at her with teeth bared sharp. She got up and tried to hide behind the door unaware and unprepared for the attack, but the Changeling didn't expect Fluttershy to get up and as she swung the door open the Changeling smashed right through it. A large piece of wood from the door had pierced it's heart.

"Wow, that was fun!" Pinkie Pie said, wiping blood off of her face, "We should party like this again sometime. What do you guy's think?" She looked around at the former attackers that she had just finished off, "Yeah I agree." She continued as her hair and personality changed back to cheerful and bright pink.color.

Fluttershy didn't notice Pinkie Pie's change though. She was to busy hiding to pay any mind to that. "What was that?" She asked stepping, over dead bodies and broken furniture.

"I don't know, but those meanies left without their party favors." She said in a pouting manner,"Don't they know how to be a good guest at a party? So rude."

"Umm, Pinkie Pie? I don't think that was a surprise party." Fluttershy replied.

"Did you just say the name of the chapter?" She asked with a puzzled expression on her face.

"I-I don't know how to react to that." She said, even more puzzled than Pinkie,"But who was that Mare, and how did he conjure that portal? I didn't know Changelings could be summoned."

"I don't know, but he has really bad manners. Leaving without saying goodbye, and leaving us with complete strangers." She complained walking over to the window where Fluttershy stood.

"Pinkie Pie, I think we need to go now." She said walking away from the window and into a new room. What she saw was much worse then what was in the previous room. She gasped in horror at the sight as Pinkie Pie ran in the room in a panic.

"What? What is it?" She asked looking at her friend and following her gaze to what was causing Fluttershy so much shock. It was the corpse of a orange filly with pink hair covering one side of her face. It didn't take Pinkie Pie long to realize who the filly was. She remembered her from the Summer Harvest parade. It was Applebloom's cousin, Babs Seed. Her entire chest was torn open and her entrails were showing. The sight made Pinkie feel sick. She seemed to be holding a journal of some sort, Pinkie picked it up and read the last entry.

Final Entry. If your reading this then i'm no longer alive. I may not know you, but I need to ask you a favor. I need you to go to Phillydelphia, where my family is staying for the time. Ask for Granny Smith, she'll know how to tell the others. My parents are already dead, and i lost track of my cousin in the explosion in the park. Don't bother taking my body to them, I don't want to burden you. Just tell my family that I love them. Thank you.

Pinkie Pie closed the journal with a heavy look on her face,"Come on Fluttershy, we need to go." She said walking out the doorway.

"Go? Where are we going to go?" She asked wiping tears from her eyes.

"Phillydelphia." She replied climbing down the ladder and beginning her long and painful journey. "I swear I'll pass your message on Babs. That's a pinkie promise"
