“So many of them.” Fluttershy felt her eyes water as she stared out the train coach. At the moment she was the only one who was still awake, as the rest of the group were fast asleep in their beds. Even the twins had finally calmed down and were napping side by side with Pinkie. But Fluttershy couldn’t bring herself to sleep again, even with several hours left of travel time.

“Don’t worry Rarity. I’ll keep them away from you.” Spike muttered in his sleep. Of course even Spike’s muttering wasn’t enough to cheer her up even slightly. The grassy plains around the Ponyville area was starting to give way to the desert and mountain ranges where Appleloosa was located. Of course it wasn’t the enviorment that was bothering her. With each passing moment a zombified praire dog would occasionally pop into view. Half a zombie snake was slithering slowly around the rocks. The sounds of the train rocking along the rails filled Fluttershy’s ears, which was much louder than any of the zombified animals outside.

It’s not fair. How were they supposed to help themselves? Fluttershy thought to herself. Then something caught her eye. A white blotch in a sea of brown outside. Fluttershy pressed her face against the window to get a better look. A rabbit was facing away from the tracks, eating something. “Angel?” Fluttershy muttered. Though she doubted the rabbit could hear her over the train’s roaring engine, it never the less turned its head towards the train, revealing it’s face had been clawed off, and its meal was a feret with its stomach torn open.

“WHY!”

Twilight bumped her head against the top bunk above her as Fluttershy’s cry woke the entire train car. The twins started wailing loudly.

“It’s ok.” Pinkie reached into her saddlebags and took out a small bag of flour, dumping its contents on her mane. This got the twins laughing. “All better.” Pinkie said. Fluttershy wiped her eyes.

“If you say so.” She muttered. Rainbow Dash and Rarity put their hooves on her shoulders.

“Fluttershy, you’re trembling. Talk to us.” Rarity said. Fluttershy hadn’t even noticed before Rarity spoke up. She looked at Rarity, then Rainbow Dash, and then at the others. She stuttered, trying to speak up, but she felt too scared to do so.

“Come on Fluttershy. You can tell us.” Rainbow Dash reassured.

“What is bothering ya’ sugarcube?” Applejack asked. Finally relenting, Fluttershy pointed towards the window. Spike climbed onto Fluttershy’s bed to get a better view.

“I don’t see anything…”

“It’s the animals! They don’t have any pony to take care of them! It’s not fair they have to be turned into one of those monsters too!” Fluttershy cried. Rainbow Dash felt her stomach turn the longer the silence went. Finally she looked outside. A small group of zombie ponies were trotting towards the train tracks. She doubted they would make it since they all were missing limbs.

“It’s not just them.” Rainbow Dash replied.

“Rainbow Dash! How is that helping?” Applejack chimed in. Fluttershy shook her head.

“No, she’s right. It’s not fair to happen to ponies too.” Fluttershy said. Letting gravity take over, she slumped out of Rainbow Dash and Rarity’s grip and onto her bed. Twilight scratched her mane, thinking of something, anything to say. Looking around she could tell the others were having similar thoughts. Except for Pinkie.

“Flutters. Come with me.” Pinkie ordered, leaping out of her bed. Fluttershy pulled her covers over her head. Pinkie furled her brow before yanking Fluttershy’s sheets away. “Fluttershy. You need to see this.”

“Pinkie what are you doing?” Twilight asked. Without answering, Pinkie reached across Fluttershy’s back, pulling her off the bed.

“Just trust me. You’ll feel all better after this.” Pinkie promised. Fluttershy swallowed hard.

“I don’t know Pinkie.” Fluttershy replied. Part of her wanted Pinkie to work her magic and make her feel better, but as for what she could do she was at a loss. Reluctantly she followed her friend to the other side of the train car. As Pinkie opened the door leading to the next coach, Fluttershy looked back at the others.

“Come on Fluttershy. You need this.” Fluttershy turned back to Pinkie, who was already partially in the other coach. “Trust me.” She reassured. Taking another deep breath Fluttershy followed, closing the door behind her.

Rainbow Dash started banging the back of her head against her bed frame. Spike held a claw to his face as her rythmn became rapider. Gridding his teeth, Spike looked down to the bunk below him.

“Will you cut that out!” Spike roared. With a groan, Rainbow Dash stopped.

“What am I supposed to do? I want to know what their doing in there!” Rainbow Dash argued. Rarity rolled onto her stomach to face Rainbow Dash.

“We all are, Rainbow. But hurting yourself isn’t going to make them come back any faster.” She added. Twilight and Applejack reached their necks out from their respective beds.

“Ah doubt Pinkie is causin’ any harm.” Applejack said. Twilight raised an eyebrow.

Maybe not on purpose. She thought, remember a few weeks back when Pinkie said some really insensitive things to Fluttershy specifically.

“Well duh. What I want to know is why we can’t be in on it.” Rainbow Dash argued. I should be in there. “Hey Twilight. You can see through walls right?” Spike couldn’t help but chuckle in response. “What’s so funny?” she asked

“Just remembering when she tried out that spell for the first time. We were on our way to Sugarcube corner and she had her face buried in the spell book.” Spike explained. Twilight’s eyes widened as she started to remember what happened next. “So right as she does the spell she looks at Town Hall. And that’s when she saw the Mayor and three stallions…” Of course before Spike could finish his story, he found himself enveloped in a purple aura, and pulled off his bed and into Twilight’s forelegs.

“Ok Spike, I don’t think we need the details.” She argued. Rainbow Dash tapped her hoof against her bed frame.

“I still want to know what Pinkie Pie is doing in there.” She said. Twilight reached out with her magic, allowing her spell to make her eyes glow. She looked towards the other train coach, allowing her spell to take effect. Unfortunately all she could see were several mattresses piled in front of the other coach entrance.

“It seems Pinkie thought of everything.” Twilight uttered. Rainbow Dash groaned again, letting herself slide off her bed.

“How much longer till we get to Appleloosa?” The impatient pegasus asked. Applejack rolled her eyes and was about to answer, but before she could the entire train lurched, knocking the group around the coach. The rumbling continued as the train continued to move to the left.

“I don’t think we’re on the rails anymore.” Spike pointed out. After about a minute of the train going out of control there was a creaking noise, followed by a loud bang. For a moment things seemed quiet.

“Is it over?” Rarity asked.

“It better be.” Applejack said, picking up her hat. Once she had regained her bearings, Rainbow Dash hovered a few feet in the air.

“That’s it. I’m not waiting any more.” With no more patience left, Rainbow Dash opened the window and flew outside. “Whoa!” she cried from outside. Twilight and Spike were the first ones to look outside. Further down the train, the engine had fallen onto its side, with the first coach tilted in such a way its left wheels were in the air.

“How the heck did that happen?” Spike asked. Rainbow Dash folded her forelegs.

“You think it may have had to do with that buffalo over there?” She argued. Of course the bloody mess on the rails could barely be identified as a buffalo, just four severed hooves, some matted fur, and a lot of disembodied guts. Understandably, Spike vomited against the side of the train car.

“Oh I understand how you feel.” Rarity said, patting Spike on the back.

“That was certainly a doozy.”

Yet again Rainbow Dash found herself startled by Pinkie suddenly appearing behind her, taking off a little bit higher in the air.

“You just like doing that, don’t you?” Rainbow Dash stammered. Pinkie simply smiled back. A moment later Fluttershy walked up behind Pinkie, keeping her face partially covered by her mane.

“Oh my.” Fluttershy muttered. Rarity poked her head out the window at the sight of Fluttershy.

“There you two are. Tell me dears, what were you doing back there?” She asked. Fluttershy dug her forehoof into the ground.

“Um, Pinkie was showing me something to cheer me up. But I Pinkie Promised to keep it a secret.” Fluttershy gave an uncertain grin, but looks from the others made her continue. “But you don’t need to worry about me. I feel better now.” She reassured. Twilight wasn’t convinced and she was certain the others were not.

“We can talk about this a little later. We need to get this train back and running. Twilight noted.

“Do not touch that train!”

The sound of dozens of strong hooves pounding against the ground rang out. Pinkie waved at an approaching dust cloud.

“What are ya doin? That could be more of em’ trotters makin’ thar way over here!” Applejack yelled. Pinkie reached up to her, despite the fact Applejack was still in the coach.

“Don’t worry about that. It’s the buffalo tribe.” Pinkie wagged her knee joint. “If something scary was about to happen I’d be feeling pinchy.” She reassured.

Pinkie sense. Of course. Twilight thought to herself. I’m still feeling sore about that. As the approaching dust cloud became closer, the group could see a dozen buffalo in the cloud. Once the buffalo were in range they started circling Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.

“What’s the big idea? Don’t you remember us?” Rainbow Dash snapped.

“Yeah you didn’t forget about my song? You gotta share~you gotta care…” Pinkie began to sing. Before she could continue, a powerful pounding noise came from within the herd. Right on cue the buffalo halted in place and a pair of buffalo stepped out of the way as their leader, Chief Thunderhooves approached.

“Please. I do not need to hear that again. No one should ever here that, what ever you called it, again.” The Buffalo Leader groaned. Pinkie frowned as well as widening her eyes. But the “cute” face didn’t have much effect on the stoic Thunderhooves.

“Beg pardon Chief but we need this train to get to Appleloosa.” Applejack explained. Thunderhooves adjusted his headdress and cleared his throat.

“No you won’t. That thing is louder than my people. And loud noises attract these undead monsters. The settlers were attacked for this very reason.” Thunderhooves explained. Applejack’s heart sank with those words.

“But some of em' made it out right? Braeburn and em’ are ok right?” She asked. Thunderhooves didn’t answer. The other buffalo started to mutter to each other.

“She asked you a question.” Rainbow Dash said.

“I heard her, Rainbow Dash. I was thinking of the best way to explain.” Thunderhooves quickly replied.

“I’ll do it.” A little voice called out. The smallest of the buffalo, a calf named Little Strongheart, appeared by Thunderhooves’ side. “Oh and hey there Rainbow Dash.” She and Rainbow Dash proceeded to bump forehooves.

“I hate to be that guy.” Spike waved his claw to get the ponies and buffalo’s attention. “But we really shouldn’t be talking out in the open like this.” Right on cue the Cake Twins started crying.

“Chief! The dragon is right. More of the undead are coming towards us.” Another buffalo reported. Thunderhooves looked over his shoulder. A group of zombie ponies, cyoties and ferrets were slowly making their way around the rock formations towards the train.

“I want all of you out of that train. Now. We can out run them.” He ordered. The noises the twins were making quickly drew his attention. “And keep those foals quiet!” Pinkie’s left eye twitched.

“I’m so sorry. But that sounded like you have some kind of problem with my kids.” Pinkie said between gritted teeth. She felt a hoof land between her back and her loin.

“Pinkie please. We need to go.” Fluttershy said in a small voice. Pinkie took a deep breath before smiling again.

“Okie dokie lokie.”

“Pinkie Pie?”

Pinkie looked over from the fire to Little Strongheart. The trip back to the buffalo camp was quick though it was still getting dark. Various members of the tribe were checking food supplies around the camp, while the Mane Six, Spike and Little Strongheart were sitting by one of several campfires.

“Yes Little Strongheart? What’s wrong?” She replied. Little Strongheart held up her bowl of mushy buffalo food. Food that Gummy was swimming in.

“This yours?” Little Strongheart asked, raising an eyebrow. Pinkie just shrugged.

“Well Gummy has to eat too.” Pinkie suggested. Applejack coughed to get Little Strongheart’s attention.

“Strongheart, ya still haven’t told us wha happened to Appleloosa.” The farm pony demanded. Little Strongheart set her bowl down and bit her lip.

“Right. I guess I did set myself up be the one to tell you. All right. Here it goes.” Little Strongheart took a deep breath, and then had to take a second one after looking at Applejack. “When all this started we sent scouts to check on the settlers to make sure they were ok. Only three of them came back with word that Appleloosa…” Again Little Strongheart hesitated.

“Take your time if you need to.” Twilight suggested. Applejack shook her head.

“Right. But Ah still want to know.” Applejack added. Twilight looked back at her with an expression on her face that had “not helping” written all over it. Little Strongheart scratched her neck in unnerving worry.

“Ok. Here it goes.” She muttered. “They found Appleloosa on fire pony heads were impaled on poles around the town, and the apple orchard been chopped down.” A long silence fell upon the group. Fluttershy covered her mouth with her forehooves. Pinkie’s jaw hit the ground. And Applejack’s eyes widened. “I’m sorry. The tribe has gotten a lot of friends among the settlers…”

“You had to find somepony! Anypony still alive!” Applejack cried, shaking Little Strongheart.

“I don’t know! I wasn’t part of the scouting party! I just know the rest of the tribe was told.” She explained. Applejack took of her hat and stomped it to the ground.

“Trotters don’t put pony heads on poles and tear down apple trees! Ya’ll didn’t think to find out why that is?” Applejack was now shaking. Rarity was the first to approach her.

“Please dear, you need to calm down.” Rarity said in a soothing voice. A voice that sadly wasn’t enough to affect Applejack’s mood.

“Ah want to know about Braeburn. Ah want to know about Bloomberg. I want to know who did this. It ain’t the trotters. They don’t have the brains to do it!” Applejack rationalized. Twilight tapped her forehoof to her chin as she thought about that.

“Applejack. Do you need a hug again?” Pinkie asked.

“Pinkie, Ah don’t… oh who am Ah kiddin’? Yes Ah do.” Applejack said. She barely moved as Pinkie embrassed her friend, with the twins hugging her legs again.

“But if it isn’t the zombies than what did do all those things to Appleloosa?” Spike asked.

“Like I said. We don’t know, it was like that when we found it. Chief Thunderhooves has had the tribe on the move to avoid this happening to us too. He thinks there are hostile ponies out there.” Little Strongheart answered.

“Now hold up. ‘Hostile ponies’? What kind of pony would raize a town to the ground while there are zombies all over the place?” Rainbow Dash argued.

“That’s what the Chief believes. That’s why we’ve been avoiding Dodge Junction since this all started. And why we blocked off the train tracks with one of those monsters, to stop any others from coming this way.” Little Strongheart explained. Twilight looked up.

“That was you who put that undead buffalo on the tracks?” She asked.

“Somepony could have been hurt!” Rarity added.

“But you weren’t.” Little Strongheart argued. Twilight stood up and let her wings stand up.

“We are trying to get survivors to Ponyville. This can not continue.” She said with conviction. Spike grinned and gently punched Twilight’s foreleg.

“Way to go Twilight. Showing off those princess skills.” The young dragon said. Little Strongheart’s eyes drifted from Twilight to above her head. Twilight felt hot breath coming down on her. She looked up to see Thunderhooves standing defiantly behind her.

“We recognize you’re authority among ponies. We acknowledge you’re status as a princess. But here is the thing, Twilight Sparkle. You are not our princess.” The Buffalo Leader explained. Twilight sank back as Thunderhooves started looking around at the others. “Finding survivors may be commendable. But there are none. And I will not risk my tribe by involving ourselves with others.”

“But you let us here.” Pinkie chimmed in. “You gave us more of that mushy stuff. And it was still tasty.” Thunderhooves let out a tired sigh.

“You are friends. But we cannot take that risk again. If you intend to stay I will welcome it. If intend to leave I will not stop you. But I will not allow my tribe to follow should you choose to leave.” Thunderhooves stated. “Now if you will excuse me, there are others I must attend to. As should you Little Strongheart.”

“I will in a minute, Chief.” Little Strongheart replied. The buffalo leader shook his head in disbelief before moving further into the camp.

“Ya’ll said you didn’t check Dodge Junction yet. Ah know a pony who lives thar. Maybe they will know what happened.” Applejack said. Little Strongheart looked back in Thunderhooves’ direction before addressing the others.

“Perhaps…if I wanted to know about ponies living there. Perhaps if I wanted to know what’s going on in Equestria…”

“Then ‘perhaps’ you’d be willing to cover for us?” Rainbow Dash interrupted.

“Something like that.” Little Strongheart replied. “You’ll find it on the other side of that mountain range.” She pointed to the mountain range in the distance. Lights were faintly emerging from the other side. “Good luck.”

“Thank you, Little Strongheart. We’ll bring information back to you as well.” Twilight promised.

The trip was largely silent. Even thought Rainbow Dash was doing her usual thing by flying over the rest of the group as they climbed the mountain, it was Applejack who was in the front of the group, moving as determined as possible. She was tiring, finding it difficult to focus as she pulled herself up the cliffs. Finally she stepped on a loose bit of rock, and lost her grip.

“No you don’t!” Rainbow Dash said, catching Applejack before she could fall very far.

“Applejack, if you’re tired please, tell us.” Twilight added. Applejack reached out for the mountainside again.

“Mighty kind of ya. But A’ll manage. Really.” She promised. Twilight wasn’t so certain about that, Applejack had let her stubbornness get the better of her before. As the light of the sun decended and the moon rose into the sky, the group finally reached the top of the mountain, which was flatter than it looked from affar.

“Finally. That climb was awful!” Rarity said. “And really Pinkie, you should not have made the trip in that outfit.”

“Aw! But it’s still Nightmare Night.” Pinkie replied in a defeated tone. Twilight had noticed Pinkie had pulled an outfit out of her saddlebags before leaving the camp, but she hadn’t noticed exactly what it was before now. A blue shirt and pink skirt almost identical to the one worn by the “other” Pinkie Pie. How Pinkie knew what her counterpart from another dimension dressed like was a question Twilight didn’t even want to ask.

“Forget about costumes. Dodge Junction’s practically in buckin’ distance.” Applejack called out the others. Unfortunately the slope was much steeper on the other side of the mountain the one the group had just finished climbing, and Applejack wasn’t looking where she was going. With one last step, Applejack started rolling down the mountain.

“Applejack!”

Twilight lept towards Applejack and grabbed her forehooves, then Rarity grabbing her hindlegs, then Spike, then Fluttershy, then Pinkie, and finally Rainbow Dash. However as strong as Rainbow Dash liked to think of herself as, she couldn’t hold the weight of five other ponies and a baby dragon, and the group started sliding down the mountainside. All were screaming, with the acception of Pinkie, who was just enjoying the ride.

“Please make it stop!” Fluttershy begged.

“How the heck are we supposed to stop!” Spike cried. Applejack looked back at her friends before getting a determined look on her face.

“Ya’ll better hold on tight! It’s gonna be quite a ride!” Applejack said. This aut to be interestin’. She thought to herself. Steering her body, Applejack slid the group around jagged rocks poking out of the mountain slope.

“Applejack!” Spike cried.

“A’m workin’ on it, Spike!” She called back.

“Zombie!” Spike screamed. Applejack looked ahead where a zombie pony was stuck in the rocks up ahead, half the flesh of its face was missing. Most likely grinded off by falling off the mountainside.

“Twi! Think ya’ can hit that one with a spell or two?” Applejack asked. Twilight pulled her face away from the ground to be able to see the zombie pony getting closer and closer.

“Slow down! I can’t hit it bouncing like this!” Twilight said. Applejack dug her forelegs into the mountainside to slow herself down, though she was still moving pretty fast.

“Rainbow! A little help here!” Applejack yelled. Feeling pressure bearing down on her, Rainbow Dash flapped her wings faster to make the group fall slower still. “That enough Twi?”

“It should be!” Twilight called back. Letting her magic take over, Twilight fired a bolt of magical energy at the zombie pony, blasting it in the chest, making it’s heart fall out, but it barely reacted.

“It didn’t work!” Spike cried!

“I know Spike! I almost got it!” Twilight fired two more bolts of magic energy, the first one blasted the zombie pony’s foreleg off, and the second one finally hit its skull.

“Yeeehhhhaaaahhhh! Nice shot Twi.” Applejack cried.

“We’re not going to crash are we?” Fluttershy asked.

“Unfortunately. Hang on tight. It’s about to get bumpy.” Applejack said. Surely enough the group was reaching the end of the slope and found themselves collapsing on top of each other once they reached the ground level.

“What a rush. What do you think kids?” Pinkie reached to her saddlebags. The twins within had permanent expressions of shock on their young faces. “Maybe I should have closed the bags.”

“Yes Pinkie. You should have.” Rarity replied. It took the group a while to get to their feet, their legs having been tangled together in the fall. “I didn’t break anything did I?” Rarity asked. Spike quickly touched her back, feeling her shoulder.

“Um, I can’t tell.” Spike admitted. He felt shivers run down his spine as he touched Rarity, and his quivering wasn’t easy to hide.

“It’s the thought that counts. Your can be so sweet sometimes Spikey-wikey.” Rarity said. Spike’s heart lept at the comment. Ones that always got his hopes up that Rarity could like him the same way he liked her.

The last time the Mane Six had been to Dodge Junction, it’s old timey feel and look was warm, not all that different from Appleloosa. Not as rural as Ponyville but not as advanced as Canterlot or Manehatten. And most of all, it was not surrounded by zombie ponies impaled on wooden poles.

“What in tarnation?” Applejack asked.

“Matches Little Strongheart’s description.” Twilight muttered to herself. Rainbow Dash approached one of the impaled zombies. It tried to reach out to her with it’s mostly severed hoof.

“Well lookie here!” A voice called out. A pair of Earth Pony stallions trotted from around the poles towards the Mane Six.

“If Ah didn’t know any better, we got ourselves some lost ponies.” The smaller stallion noted. His larger friend was quick to respond.

“Not just any ponies, that’s the one Miss Jubilee talks about all the time.” The other stallion reminded, pointing to Applejack.

“Me? Ah know Cherry Jubilee and Ah have a history but she still talks about me?” Applejack asked. The two stallions started laughing.

“Are ya kiddin’? Miss Jubiliee barely talks about anythin’ else. If ya don’t believe us we can show ya.” The larger stallion explained.

“Can you explain why you have a bunch of zombies strung up like that?” Rainbow Dash asked. The smaller stallion just scoffed.

“Oh that. Would you believe that was Miss Jubiliee’s idea to keep neighsayers out of the town? This aut to make em’ think twice about messing with the town.” He explained.

“Rather morbid way of doing so don’t you think?” Rarity noted. “And what about Appleloossa?”

“Yeah you want to explain why Appleloosa has your ‘welcoming party’ too?” Rainbow Dash said.

“So ya’ll know about that. Then you’ll definitely want to talk to Miss Jubilee.” The smaller stallion replied.

This is getting more and more suspicious by the minute. Twilight thought to herself. “Yes, please take us to her.” She suggested.

“Well alrighty then. Follow us.”

Following the two stallions turned out to be a bad idea. Once the Mane Six and Spike had arrived in the town pub they were quickly pony piled by dozens of other ponies.

“What’s the big idea!” Rainbow Dash yelled.

“It’s very simple my dear.” A posh voice replied. A mare with a dollied up mane approached the Mane Six. “Applejack, it’s so good to see you again. I’ve missed you.”

“Cherry Jubilee? What is goin’ on here?” Applejack asked. Jubiliee flicked her mane back before getting right in Applejack’s face.

“Applejack, you don’t know? Surely you remember when you decided to do some work for me. Before taking off without an explanation. That wasn’t very nice, Applejack. We’ve been wanting for you to come back and explain yourself.” Jubilee explained.

“You could have just written.” Spike muttered to himself.

“Miss. Jubiliee, do you know about what happened to Appleloosa? The town was attacked.” Twilight asked.

“Yeah, they also had ponies on poles. You want to explain what that was all about?” Rainbow Dash added. Jubilee looked around at the other ponies in the pub.

“Like I said, we needed to keep the neighsayers away from us. I don’t like having ponies leaving me, so I decided to keep the ones who was willing to join us, and as for the others, well…” Jubiliee shrugged, leaving the others speechless. Accept for Applejack.

“Where is Braeburn? What did you do to him!” She demanded. Jubiliee let out a little giggle.

“Ah yes, the Apple. He is fine. We’ve put him to good use here. We can do the same for you and your friends if ya like. We like having ponies join us.” Jubiliee explained.

“Like hay I will!” Applejack roared. She started kicking with her hindlegs, knocking the ponies holding her down off her. Rainbow Dash flew ou of the grip of the ponies holding her down, leaving a streaking rainbow behind. The remaining ponies backed off, allowing Twilight and the others to get back up.

“Miss. Jubiliee, we are taking the Applelossan’s to Ponyville. And you will not stop us.” Twilight said with defiance.

“Well who am I to get in the way of a princess. By all means. I’m certain my boys agree. Don’t you boys?” Jubiliee replied, raising an eyebrow. Before Twillight could respond, she felt something heavy hit her in the back of the head. As she started to fall unconscious the last thing she saw was Fluttershy and Rarity fall to the ground as well before blacking out.

“Ah. Mah ackin’ head.”

Applejack raised her head, noticing she was lying on a bed. She tried to get back up, but felt an intense pain in all of her legs. Her scream was loud, but not as much as the sound of the bones in her legs breaking. Jubiliee’s voice started talking from the shadows.

“I told you Applejack. I’ve missed you. Of course I couldn’t let you walk away again. As much as I enjoy your quick hooves and strong back, you’d use both to leave me again.” Taking Applejack by surprise, Jubiliee tackled Applejack to the ground with a very big smile on her face.

“Where are my friends!” Applejack roared. Jubiliee giggled again.

“Don’t worry about your friends. My boys are still deciding if they should join us. But not you however. You I want.” Jubiliee lowered her head down Applejack’s body, down her chest, rubbing her hoof on Applejack’s fur. “Oh I have missed you.”

“What do you think you are doing? Get yer mits off me!” Applejack cried, but with all her legs broken she could barely move. Her heart started to race faster as she felt Jubilee’s tougue on one of her hind legs. “Stop! You’re making a mistaaaaakkkkkeeeeeeee!” Applejack started to cry, as she was powerless to stop Jubiliee from touching her in some very private places.

“YES! YES! APPLEJACK!”

Jubiliee colapsed on the bed next to Applejack panting from both exhaustion and pleasure. The crippled farm pony’s face was still wet from crying, feeling horrible pain all over her body.

“That was wonderful. Take my word for it Applejack. You’ll like it soon enough.” Jubiliee promised. She moved her hoof down Applejack’s body again.

“You’re a sick pony! Ya’ll are!”

“No Applejack. With undead all around us, it’s best to enjoy life. When you can. And on that subject, I’m feeling in the mood for another round.” She rolled Applejack onto her back, feeling great pleasure the entire time. As the hours went on, only one thought was going through Applejack’s wounded mind.

These ponies have lost it.

Author's Note

That was...the most difficult chapter yet. True I knew going into it that it would end badly for Applejack. But that doesn't make me feel any better.
