Unusual Outbreak
Chapter 5: You Have Reached Your Destination
Previous ChapterSo where did we leave off
? Oh right, we were talking in the back about the outbreak with a bit of rainbows and butterflies on the side! So anyway, we were doing that, but we all realized none of us had eaten anything yet, and the only snacks we had were string cheese, cheese crackers, goldfish (apparently my family really loves cheese!), and pretzels. So we stopped for breakfast, kept driving, stopped occasionally, and eventually got to a hotel in Indiana. The next day we did pretty much the same thing, except at around 9:30 p.m. got to my grandpa's house![]()

! Though you're probably wondering what we were talking about, so I'll tell you.
First off, this next part's gonna be color-coded when we're talking so you'll know who's talking. For example, the first thing I said was, "So, just remember that no matter what happens, you two stick by our sides. Got it?" And they both replied by nodding.
Pinkie Pie continued our conversation. "And if you ever feel like eating cotton candy, I'll have some and you certainly can
! Especially if it's pink cotton candy, because I have loads of that stuff!" Wait, I thought she didn't even bring anything with her! Lol, she's just Pinkie Pie
!
"Can I have some cotton candy, Pinkie Pie?" asked my brother. But of course my mom said no, so we couldn't have any until after breakfast
. But back to the conversation...
"Let's get serious now. Really, when we get there, we'll all have some complicated work to do. We most importantly have to stay cool and calm through the whole operation, otherwise things could go crazy and we could all get infected
! And I know we wouldn't want that to happen!" We all agreed with Dash, especially me.
"And just make sure that whatever you do, you listen to us and do what we need you to do! Not to sound rude, and we'll obviously take suggestions from you too, but we need you to cooperate or things will go terribly wrong
!"
"Exactly, Fluttershy! This isn't just playing in the backyard and pretending to spy on your neighbor's kids and puppies or something, or drawing rainbows with your little kid friends, this will definitely be one of the biggest missions of your lives! Maybe even THE biggest! And best of all, you guys get to do it with me
! But seriously, you can't mess this up or else eveyone's in big trouble."
Of course she said that with her usual conceitedness
. But my sister (who can never help but make everything even MORE of a drama scene than it normally is
) finally started giving us her input on the situation. "OK. But can we make rules too like Fluttershy said? I wanna be a part of the leaders! Especially if there are adorable kitties involved!"
"First of all, you clearly weren't listening! Fluttershy said you guys could make suggestions, not rules, and we'll take the good ones, but you really have to understand that you don't know what you're doing as well as we do and you're just gonna have to accept that! And second, we're the leaders because we each know more about all of this separately than you do combined!"
"Wow Pinkie Pie, good explanation! And she's right. We're sorry, but we can't let you control an operation we taught you about. It just wouldn't make any sense! It would be as logical - for the three of us, anyways - as magical talking rainbow butterfly kitten unicorns riding down a magical rainbow and into our world
!"
"Fine. But we should stop talking about unicorns and rainbows." Fine, you annoying little freak
! Uh... I mean that in a nice-ish way... Of course I didn't actually say that out loud, but you get the point. That was the end of that conversation though.
But back to where we left off before the talking, we were just at my grandpa's house and finally where we needed to be in Oklahoma
! Now what we had to do was fight the infection. When we got there, my grandpa said hi, we watched some TV, and then we all went to bed. I slept on the little sofa bed with the three ponies (they really don't take up much room!) and my sister and future stepdad stayed in two of the recliner chairs that were also in the living room. There's also one bedroom that nobody sleeps in, and my mom and brother slept in the bed there. When we woke up the next day, the ponies and I were discussing the plan with my grandpa.
"So your pony friends in your town got this here disease too?" he asked. We had been telling him exactly that for half an hour! I got kinda mad, but I controlled my anger; Rainbow Dash couldn't do the same.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS
?!" she yelled. Fluttershy asked her politely to calm down, but of course she ignored it. She just kept raging on and continued to pursue her animosity towards that question.
"CALM DOWN, RAINBOW DASH!!! Stop yelling and be nice, please!" I told her after a while. She still had an obvious mad look on her face, but she actually listened
? After a really long time, we finally got our point across and he agreed to let us do the work but help if we really, really needed it.
