[The Beginning]
It all started on a Tuesday morning during history class. Our teacher Mrs. B is going off on the Gold Rush of our state Colorado and the fact that gold was first discovered in Cherry Creek. I was sitting at my desk drawing a picture of my dream guy.
I looked up for a second to show I was “paying attention” only to see Mrs. B fighting with the history teacher from team 8.2. Now when I say fighting, I don’t mean arguing. I mean fighting.
Mrs. B was struggling to fight of the other teacher. I wasn't really sure how to react until The other teacher caught Mrs. B’s arm and sunk his teeth into it.
I was horrified. I ran out of the classroom holding all my stuff and I ran down the hall to my brother’s class to warn them.
I arrived at the room and burst through the door. I ran to my brother and looked him over. I sighed in relief then burst out, “MRS. B IS DEAD. SHE GOT TOTALLY RIPPED APART. WE GOTTA GO. COME ON LET’S GRAB SIERRA, JORDYN, SARAH, MARTHA, AND JULIA THEN RUN!” I grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the room and then down to the science room.
“SIERRA, JORDYN, SARAH, MARTHA, AND JULIA! FOLLOW ME!” I grabbed them and we tore out of the school.
We ran and ran. I wouldn't let them say anything. We ran all the way to the Wal-Mart. It was closed. I found something to pick the lock and opened the door.
“Everyone in” I rasped, totally out of breath. I pushed them in and closed the door. We took a moment to collect ourselves. We were all out of breath.
“Jo, what’s your problem,” Julia asked.
“Are you okay,” Sierra asked, a worried look on her face.
“Sis, you've been takin’ your meds, right.” Jon was looking at me like I was insane.
“Joanna, I think you should sit down.” Martha was looking kindly at me.
I stared at Jordyn and Sarah. “You remember our conversation we had on the way back from the museum. Right?”
Their eyes got wide. In unison they said, “shit!”
One time when we went on a field trip, we started talking about the possibility of our favorite shows, movies, and games coming true. My choice was the Walking dead.
“Jo, I thought that you said this would never happen,” Jordyn said, her voice was small.
“How the fuck was I suppose to know!”
Sarah was quiet until a light bulb moment happened. “What supplies do we have.”
“I don’t know, we have to take inventory.” I told her pulling out a piece of paper.
Sierra put her hands up. “Hold up, what are you three talking about?”
“Zombies,” I said simply. “Now, are you gonna help or not.”
[An hour later]
“Okay, so what now.” I asked.
Sarah, Jordyn, and I were in the manager office. We had taken inventory and had a vote on how should lead the group. Everyone decided that it was best that the three of us was a good bet, considering that we knew the most about the situation.
“We should send out a group to check the other stores.”
“That’s a great plan Sarah, but how will they get back?”
She looked thoughtful. “Look in the parking lot for cars.”
“You know, you don’t take as someone who’d take charge. Come on Jord.”
In the parking lot we stood by an SUV with a an ATV cart attached.
“This might work. We should make a list of the stores and send out a few teams.” I told Jordyn. she nodded and wrote it down.
“What else do we need? I mean, like urgently?’
“Some Supplies to build a border. I’ll go personally.” I grabbed my pack and got on the ATV. ”I saw a few more of these out back.”
As she nodded I drove away. There was a Home depot across the street. It was closed too. I pulled out my lock pick and opened the door. The place smelt of oak, cedar, balsam, and other wood.
I walked down the aisle with oak planks and plywood. Grabbing all I could, I tossed it into a cart with some tools nails, and paint.
I found some other things and decided to make a weapon. A nail board. The nail was new and sharp.
I was admiring it when a loud bang came from behind me. I turned prepared for a fight only to see a girl standing there.
“W-who are you,” I asked trying to stay calm.
“ I’m Lyra.”
“H-hi Lyra. You’re not bit r-right?”
She shook her head. Her eyes got wide. She ran to me and began lifting my arms and looking at me in awe.
“Uhh, can I help you?”
“No way, you’re a human. I knew they were real!”
“O-K then.” I grabbed my stuff and started walking away. She pulled out a piece of paper and was writing stuff down.
“So, What do you like to do,” she asked.
“Uh, read and write, I guess.”
“You’d get along great with my friend Twilight,” she stopped. “Twilight!” She bolted out of the door and ran towards the Wal-Mart.I tied my stuff to the ATV and rode away.
When I got to the Wal-Mart, I saw there were three more girls. One with pink curly hair, another with long light pink hair covering her eye, one that had purple hair and was wearing an amethyst tiara. Lyra was hugging them.
She turned to me. “These are my friends Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Twilight Sparkle.”
The one with curly pink hair turned to me, “Hey there, I’m Pinkie.” The light pink haired girl was hiding behind her. “This is Fluttershy.”
The one who must’ve been Twilight was looking around in horror.
“Um, you alright,” I asked shaking her from some kind of trance.
“W-where are we? What happened?”
“Evergreen, Colorado.” Jon was staring at Pinkie with a dreamy expression.
I put my hands up. “The four of you with me, NOW!”
[In the office]
“So lemme get this straight. You’re from a town called Ponyville in a country called Equestria on a whole different planet called Equis. Correct?”
They nodded at Sarah and Jordyn. I stood off in the corner thinking to myself. Why are they so familiar? Have I met them before? Not that I know of. Twilight Sparkle. I feel I should know the name. Twilight, Twilight, TWILIGHT!
“I KNEW I KNEW THAT NAME! TWILIGHT SPARKLE! STUDENT OF PRINCESS CELESTIA! ELEMENT OF MAGIC!” I shouted unknowingly.
“How’d you know that?” Twilight looked visibly shaken.
“Hmmm? Oh, yeah that, uhh. Jordyn!” I looked at her.
She was in awe. “They’re REAL!”
I nodded weakly. “This is the coolest thing ever!”
