                       Mary's POV

  " MARY we'll be gone in a hour if you need.."

  " Yeah mom just go. "  I said cutting her off.   A time to myself, something that I get very rarely.  Don't get me wrong I like people in fact I'm one of the nicest people on the planet well.. maybe.   I turn around and look at the window.  I look outside on the farm I live on.  Outside I see the barn house coverd in snow.   Hmm, maybe I,ll pay it a visit.   I get my coat and walk to the barn it's so cold but I get to barn open the door and climb to the top.   All of the animals are asleep, so none of them hear me.

  As I see the view at the top of the barn I can't help but enjoy the beauty of it all.  The grass looks smooth, the house looks like a star, and even the dead lifeless trees look like they have snow leafs. I'll miss it all when the snow melts. Everything here brings back memories.  My dad is moving us to a house not that I have anything against it it's just that I'll miss being so close to nature.  My friends are in for a surprise next year.  The sun makes my brown hair shine but only barley since it's mostly snowing.

  I can't help but feel as if something is going to happen but what? Why?  Is it the strange meteors that hit? I don't know but whatever's out there makes my skin tingle.

  " What the.... " I say as I hear grunts coming from the woods.  Hm... must have been a animal.

All of sudden I hear the grunts getting louder and closer.  I run down from the barn and near to the woods.  I see a shadow like figure getting closer.  Fear takes over my entire body on the outside I say nothing but on the inside I want to scream" WHAT'S GOING ON!" I run back into the house and look for anything I can use as a weapon .  I think toyself is it really dangerous ? What If it's just a stray animal.  Something in my brain says NO it will attack you you better kill as FAST  AS YOU CAN !  But.  JUST DO IT.  For whatever reason I listen to the voice and do as it pleased.  I found a knife that can cut really good and I ran outside.  As the thing comes out of the forest I look at the thing.   Sorry but what else can I call it ?  It looks like a ...cartoon pony but why... wait is it hurt ?          She gets closer to me and my body starts to shack and I try to hold my knife.  To my suprise she walks past me and heads toward the farm house I'm can't help but look at her.  From what I can tell she had a hopefull grin and she now has a disappointed smile.

"Look...I don't know you ...and you don't know me ...but what are you looking for ?"I say finally after trying to ignore my fear

" I'm trying to find my friends, when I saw the farmhouse, I thought I was home and maybe my friends were but they aren't since your not a pony.  I notice she has a strong southern accent.   Now what do I do?

It's not like I can help her find her friends.  She looks away from me and stairs at the barn house with sadness.

  I look at here wounds most of them haven't even begun to heal.  I look at them they don't look like scratches from a bear or a preadator.  They look more like... bullet wounds that just avoided hitting her.  The thought of her being hunted by a human made me finally crack and I spoke.

  "How about you come into my house and get your wounds healed, ten MAYBE...I can help you find your friends "

"Really?"

  "Yes, we can get my friends and see if they know anything about where your friends are. "

  "Are you sure that it's the best idea to get your friends I mean no harm to your friends but are you sure they will react calmly?"

"I'm not freaking out am I?" But really I was screaming on the inside

  "Okay you got me "she said.

"Okay let's go inside and get you inside and patched up... and fast it's freezing out here."

A million thoughts run through my mind I have no idea why I just let this thi...pony I need I start calling her pony.  Something towels odd about her but I just can't tell what though.  We get to the house and I unlock the door and let her

I grab my first aid kit and begin cleaning her wounds, and cover them with band aids.

  "By the way, what's your name?" I ask finishing up on her wounds.

  "Oh sorry I'm Applejack."

  "We'll hello Applejack my name is Marry." I said in response.

  I reached for the phone and Applejack looked up in suspicion.

Before I could begin dialing a number she talks

  " So... Can you tell me..."

     "No, I just found you so I'm not going to tell you anything about me or my friends."

    She looks at me like I'm stupid and speaks.

  " I mean that thing in your hand."

"Oh"

I feel like the most stupid  person on the planet for a few seconds before I answer .

"It's a phone." I said

"Come again ?"

  I sighed and said

  "It allows me to talk to friends from far away."

  "How does it work ? " she asked.

  "We'll... it... I don't know to be honest."

Seriously who knows how they work ?  I debated on who to call first then I settled on Xaiver, since he gets into trouble maybe he saw this pony a one point.   I began to dial Xaiver's number first but it takes 5 times before I could get through.

  "Yeah What !" Xaiver shouted as if he was afraid.

  " Uh Xaiver we " I look around to look at Applejack "we have a problem." I said.

  " YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT" he said.

  "What do you mean", I heard a ring.

He had had just hanged up on me and in a panic.
