A Death to Come By
Day 3: Silver Spoon.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBy the time that Silver had woken up AppleBloom was already at her house. It was Saturday and both felt like going to Sugar Cube Corner for a bite to eat." Silver?" AppleBloom Asked as she trotted into the gray Filly's room. Silver mumbled something in her sleep but didn't wake up. AppleBloom sighed and walked over to the lazy filly.
" Silver!" She lent down and said in her ear. All this did was stir her in her sleep." Silver!" AppleBloom said a little louder. When this didn't wake her AppleBloom got mad. Really mad." Silver!?" She screamed. Silver shot up and looked around.
" What?! Huh I'm up mom!" She mumbled obliviously still half asleep.
" Silver it's me." AppleBloom said. Silver looked at her until her eyes lit up.
" Sorry," she muttered and reached for something in her nightstand." I need my glasses." She dug a hoof in the nightstand then pulled out a pair of thick rimmed black glass and set them atop the rim if her muzzle.
" You want to get icecream?" The yellow earth filly asked cheerfully, now that her newly reformed friend was awake.
Silver stumbled out of bed and muttered something in Germane as she feel when her legs couldn't support her body." I'm fine." She stated getting up with no help from Applebloom." Icecream? I haven't even had breakfast?!"
" Well we could get breakfast icecream?" AppleBloom said.
Silver tapped her chin." I guess but who's going to buy?" Silver asked. AppleBloom teared up but dried them away with the back of her left hoof.
" Scoots usually bought the icecream but I guess I'll buy." Silver frowned and walked over to her dresser.
" You've been through enough, I'll buy if it makes you happy." Silver sighed and pulled out a few gold bits.
" How's bout we split it?" AppleBloom asked.
" Good idea."

Silver and AppleBloom walked down the dirt road to the cake shop." I'll go get it if you can hang me your half." AppleBloom stated.
" Yeah sure here you go, and a chocolate fudge sundae with extra sprinkles and a side of Oreos will do." Silver listed off the things as she handed the other filly a few gold and silver bits.
AppleBloom gaped at the order but walked into the store listing off the things. But when she walked in soomepony tapped Silver's shoulder." Hi." The mare said. Silver looked at the mare in disbelief, if this creature was a mare. The thing that was standing in front of silver was tall, thin, and lean with moutains of black bangs covering her face. Her hair wa held in a lose ponytail tied together with a dull pink ribbon. Onto of her head was a deep red top hot with beads and peices of black strings woven and placed on it." What are you?" Silver asked, forgeting her manners.
The mare frowned and blew back some bangs to relieve bright glowing eyes, the orange orbs stared at her in a look of anger. Silver also noticed her pale blue horn that was sparking some red magic at the tip.
" I'm a pony! What are you?" She snapped.
Silver held a confused look and tried not to look to shaken at the mares words." A filly."
The mare still stared at the cowaring filly and took a deep breath to calm her." Forgive me... I was reborn with a temper. And if you didn't notice I'm a zombie pony, stitches included but I hide the one thing that makes me a zombie."
" What." Fear was replaced with curiosity.
" This." A dark red aurora incased he horn and lifting something from around her neck that was barely visible because of her hair." It's a smybols for all zombie ponies. It means you are one inside and out. I don't follow it however, after all I have a few crushes," she blushed a bit," and I can't help but think what it's like to be alive and to be with my friends without fear of hurting them. But you know all about that don't you?"
Silver stared at the zombie mare in a look of shock." How do you know?!" She asked wided eyes and all.
" I know many things included your dreams, including all those meetings, all those secrets. Must be a burden really, having to hold to so much when you have so little to gain. What do you think that they love you now! Your the reason this has happen Diamond pushed her, you were suppose to catch her! This is your idea so it's your fault!" Silver wanted to break down into tears but the mare wasn't done.
" At lest all of your misake hasn't taken full effect, listen because I'll only say this once and only once... Wait."
" For what." Silver asked.
" For the one pony everyone needs right now."
" Everyone?" That was not the usually language around here.
The mare looked surprised for a moment but spoke again." It's common around where I'm from."
" And this pony every pony needs do you mean.... Scoots?" The mare nodded." But she's dead." Silver thought the mare was out of her mind.
" Yes she is."
" Well What is it!?" Silver cried. The mare hushed her and closed the Filly's eyes. Silver opened them after a few seconds past and the mare wasn't standing there. Strange. soon after Apple Bloom came back carrying two shakes with one onto of her head. silver quickly hurried over to her and grabbed the shake on her head." I could have help you, you know?" AppleBloom smiled and placed her shake on the table Silver was sitting at.
" I know but i like doing things myself, being babied isn't my forte." The filly sat down on her plot and took a sip of her shake." well you going to eat?" Silver nodded happily and sat greedily sipping up her shake.
" Thanks!" She cried. AppleBloom just smiled a sad smile.
' just like scoots use to order.' AppleBloom smiled again and took a few sips from her shake.

Silver tossed and turned in bed until sleep over came her a few minutes later.'its going to be one of those nights.' she thought before drifting off into an uneasy dream land.

" having a nice time with this one?" Luna asked. Silver looked around and saw that they where in a void of space and time.
" better than the last one." Silver muttered.
" So how's my favorite filly doing?!" Luna asked cheerfully.
" Fine, what secret should you tell me tonight?" Silver grumbled.
Luna smile soften and she looked at silver." Tonight it's about you." Silve perked up, she rarely got a secret about her." I came her to tell you that Sweetie is troubled. " silver frown returned.
" No dip Sherlock." She mumbled.
" You need I save your sister." Silver perked up again.
" MY WHAT?!" She screamed.
" You have had three dads in your life. The one left when you where one and he look sweetie with him. Your mom quickly remarried a never said a word to anyone about your first dad. When that marriage feel apart, around the time you where six, your mother found a nice stallion and didnt rush to much into marriage." Silver looked dumbstruck and soon felt swilling around her.
" Luan wait. LUNA!" She cried.
