Chapters Common -- Billions; Book 1
I look at Applejack. She looks at me and then she remembers something. That she left Applebloom at the barn. She runs to the farm. I follow, my parents start yelling when I leave. I don't really want to be out here but, it's for a friend! I hope Applebloom is ok... We rush into the barn and find Discord standing by Appleblooms bloody body. He turns to us with his crazy eyes and mouth filled with Appleblooms bloody flesh. "Your next", words pop up in his eyes. I get a scared look in my eyes and he sees it. He disappears into thin air. I automatically look at Applejack who is crying. I would cry too if Discord didn't give me that look. Is he out to get me now? No. I doubt it. There are still like Ten Billion ponies in all of Equestria. I hug Applejack and run back home. Mom and dad are probably worried to death.
Common -- Billions; Book 1
I feel so bad for Applejack. Like really, loosing your little sister to some baboon! I really miss Applebloom. Me and her watched every episode of "Captain Doom Pony!" in 2004-2013. Now she's gone. And that nifty game we used to play, when I would pick the powers I wanted and she would pick the powers she wanted. She always picked: "I can Burn the ground and ice the sky!" And most of the time I would be just like Captain Doom Pony and be able to freeze or fire up anything! Now, I am crying because she is gone. Applebloom, if you can hear this, I am sorry that you weren't with us before you were hurt. It's all my fault. I know he is coming for me next. But atleast if I die, I will be with you again bestie! We can watch Captain Doom Pony.
Common -- Billions; Book 1
Mom and dad insisted I sleep in the same bed as them. I said no but they force me. I didn't fall asleep until around 1 o'clock. The same thought goes through my head "... Applebloom... Applebloom... Applebloom..." Every now and then I think of Discords eyes. How did words get into them. "Your Next" Obviously I'm next... To die? To eat? Until tomorrow I won't know. But for now, I dream my last dreams. And hope for the best. Because obviously I'm going to die tomorrow... Do I tell mom and dad? Or Applejack or any of the others. Rarity was pretty trusting by many. Should I tell her? I get up and walk to the phone and phone Rarity. "Hello?" Answers Rarity... "Discord... I need to tell you something that happened" I say...
Common -- Billions; Book 1
Rarity listens well. She totally understood. She won't tell anybody. She says that the best thing to do is get some sleep. Tomorrow, she says, I should stay with my parents. If I don't something bad will happen. I don't really want to hang out with my parents though. They hang out with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy... And Pinkie Pie... And Twilight sometimes. And tomorrow all of them are coming over. I guess Rarity is right though. I'm going to get some sleep. Wake up tomorrow with no fears... I hope.
Common -- Billions; Book 1
I wake up. I turn on the TV to my normal station to watch "That's So FlufflePuff" but instead a warning is set out. It reads: PRINCESS LUNA, CRITICAL INJURIES DONE FROM DISCORD. SHE MAY DIE BUT WE ARE TRYING OUR BEST! I sit and stare at the words for awhile. In the corner of the screen, read: 1 billion 2 hundred and 48 ponies remaining in Equestria. Dad walks in and stares at the bold words about Princess Luna. He looks at me, wildly staring at the screen. He walks over and sits on the ground beside me "It's going to be okay. Don't worry... Daddy's got ya."
Common -- Billions; Book 1
When I think of those last words Daddy said. "Daddy's got ya." I sit and cry. Dad died saving my life from Discord, and mom is out in town. I should be with her, but she has just the same strength as me. It would make no difference if we were together or alone. The phone rings. I know not to answer it. For any fact, it could be Discord. He can travel by phone. I wait until the phone stops ringing... But it doesn't... I wait about five minutes... Still doesn't stop ringing. I decide to pick it up... A gelding?! "Hello?" He speaks... "Hi, whom is this?" I ask. "The cops.... We just want to let you know that your mother has been attacked, she is died..." I begin to sob over the phone. Imaging her face, her soft blue mane. The time we sat outside on the first day of December 1st waiting for the first snow flake..... She's gone.... "Hello? Ms?" He speaks.
Common -- Billions; Book 1
Mom and dad have come into my room almost 50 times in the last 10 minutes. I'm worried too but I could be watching another episode of "Captain Doom Pony!" And have them come in and distract me from the episode. Maybe I should be glad that they care. Better then some other parents that just sit around and see where Discord is headed next. Like really?! I wonder if my friends are okay. Sweetiebell and Scootaloo and Applebloom. I know that Applebloom is alright. Her sister is so caring and yea, she never let's anybody hurt her. I would love to have an older sibling that would live with me. Just then the doorbell rang.... Who? Mom and Dad rush to the peeky hole in the door. Who stands?! Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Mom opens the door, quickly let's them in and then slams the door.
"Discord broke out! He's in town square!!!" Rarity said,then fainted.
Common -- Billions; Book 1
Its all been said and done. That life is precious and you shouldn't risk it. How could they have left Discord unattended so he could break out. Now we're all in danger! Mom and dad are here to protect me and all but how am I supposed to feel safe when Discord is on the loose looking for somepony to kill. Well, maybe they got their facts wrong. Maybe Discord is still in that cell waiting for a cue for him to break out. Wait! It wouldn't be on the news if he didn't... I'm really afraid! What if he is out there! I can't risk losing mom and dad. I'll most likely be okay... Others will report Discord if they see him... Unless he, he... You get the point.
