(Flutter Shy : Is he... or she still alive Rarity?.. (Rarity : *runs up to Flutter Shy and gives her a hug*  Oh honey it's okay he's dead... See how he has a stick through his head? (Flutter Shy : Yes... (Twilight Sparkle : Oh yeah! I think I have a book about these... creatures. Let's see... Nature Survival Book... Creatures Of The Unknown... Medi- Wait, wait wait wait wait... Creatures Of The Unknown. Okay so page... 73 Zombie Ponies. Scientists believe that the plaque killed someone then they turned into a Trotter and killed 708 ponies luckily they killed all the trotters...

I guess one escaped. Crap! The page has been ripped in half! The only other thing left on the page says, If you see them just run...".

(Rainbow Dash : Somepony help me!!! (Rarity : Rainbow Dash? Hurry girls we need to help her! (Narrator : As they ran to the voice of Rainbow Dash screaming they saw Apple Jack with a whip hitting the Zombie Ponies off of Rainbow Dash. (Twilight Sparkle : Rainbow Dash! Apple Jack are you girls okay!? (Apple Jack : Rainbow got bit! (Rarity : Twilight catch! (Narrator : As Twilight Sparkle catches the crowbar she runs up to the Zombie Ponies and starts bashing them up. After killing all the walkers around Rainbow and Apple Jack they grabbed a stick and knocked Rainbow Dash out. (Twilight Sparkle : Rarity hand me the saw. (Rarity : Okay but I can't look...  (Twilight Sparkle : Why don't you go and wait behind that tree... All of you.

(Narrator : Once twilight cut off Rainbow's foreleg (the right one) she bandaged it up and woke Rainbow from her slumber. (Twilight Sparkle : Rainbow, Rainbow Dash! Wake up there's no more Trotter poison/blood left in you. (Rainbow Dash : *yawns* What, what happened? *goes to get up* Wha- what happened to my... l-leg? *stutters* (Rarity : * comes out from behind the tree * Rainbow Dash we had to cut off your foreleg because you were bit... (Rainbow Dash : Okay well enough of that we have to find somewhere to stay for tonight! These "Trotters" aren't gonna leave us alone. (Rarity : Okay calm down, we have about 3 hours until sundown. (Narrator : They traveled around looking for a place to stay when they came across 2 little fillies and one was lying on the ground dehydrated.

(Twilight Sparkle : Girls?, are you okay? (Scootaloo : Apple Bloom... Twilight?, please anyone give her some water! (Twilight Sparkle : Apple Bloom! Here sweetie drink some of this. * hands Apple Bloom water * (Apple Bloom : * drinks the water * Thank you Twilight... (Narrator : Once Apple Bloom drank the water she fell asleep and Apple Jack carried Apple Bloom on her back until they got to a house that they could secure so no Trotters get in. (Twilight Sparkle : Okay everyone go up stairs so me and Rainbow Dash can board up the house. Do I make my self clear? (Everyone except Rainbow Dash : Yes Mai'me!  (Narrator : As everyone goes upstairs Rainbow and Twilight start boarding up the house.

(Rainbow Dash : Twilight!, They're coming! (Twilight Sparkle : I know Rainbow! They're not getting into the house that's for sure! (Rarity : What's going on down there?! (Twilight Sparkle : Nothing bad is going on down here okay! Just stay up there until we say! (Rainbow Dash : Twilight your not lying to me about the trotters not getting in, right? (Twilight Sparkle : Well by my calculations we should be 97.4% fine... (Rainbow Dash : Wait so you are 97.4% convinced this will hold?! (Twilight Sparkle : You must stop yelling or they'll hear you and more will come...

(Rainbow Dash : Yeah, Okay lets just hold down the fort until dawn. (Narrator : They "held down the fort" until dawn then the Trotters just stopped. (Twilight Sparkle : It's safe to come down now! (Rarity : *walks down the stairs with the others* It's... Safe? (Apple Bloom : Thank you kindly Twilight. (Rainbow Dash : Hey what about me?! (Scootaloo : You were AWESOME Rainbow Dash!!! (Rainbow Dash : At least someone appreciates me! (Rarity : Attention freak... (Rainbow Dash : What was that Rarity? (Rarity : What? Oh nothing.

Previously on "The Trotting Dead"... (Twilight Sparkle : Hello?.. Is anypony there? Rainbow Dash! Rarity! Flutter Shy! Hmm... Where is everypony? (Rarity : Twilight? *comes out from behind a tree* (Twilight Sparkle : Rarity! Where is everyone?

(Twilight Sparkle : Now that it's morning lets get a move on! (Rarity : Hang on where's spike? (Twilight Sparkle : Oh no! When I left Ponyville Spike... I don't remember what happened after we left... *starts crying* (Rarity : Oh honey it's okay Spike is probably still back at Ponyville on the train or something... (Apple Jack : Just like you said Twilight we have to get a move on or else it will become night before we even get to go outside to search around. (Rainbow Dash : Yeah!, Come on let's go!

(Narrator : As they left the house the fillies were a bit of a handful and then they met some Trotters that were eating something...

(Twilight Sparkle : What are they eati- SPIKE!!! Get the hell off of him! (Rarity : Twilight Wait! (Apple Jack : There's no reasoning with her Rarity!, Come help! (Rainbow Dash : Take this and that aaaaand that! (Twilight Sparkle : Oh Spike... *sobbing* Why did you have to go like this...

(Pinkie Pie : I'm so sorry Twilight but he's gone now... We have to get out of here! (Twilight Sparkle : No! I will never leave him here SPIKE NOOOO! (Pinkie Pie : Everyone grab her! (Narrator : As the 5 friends and the 3 fillies pulled Twilight Sparkle away Spike stop breathing and his eyes were fading then were dull and they new he was gone...

(Twilight Sparkle : WHY COULDN'T IT HAVE BEEN ME?! WHY DID SPIKE HAVE TO GO OUT OF THIS WORLD LIKE THAT?! (Rarity : Twilight sweetie at least Spike doesn't have to worry about surviving now... I so sorry *hugs Twilight* (Apple Jack : I wish we could have got there sooner... *hugs Twilight with Rarity* (Rainbow Dash : Just remember he's in a better place now... *hugs Twilight with Apple Jack and Rarity* (Pinkie Pie : And he always loved my cupcakes... *hugs Twilight with Apple Jack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash* (Flutter Shy : One of my best friends *starts crying and hugs Twilight with Apple Jack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie*.

(Narrator : The three fillies just looked at Twilight scared at what she would do if she new what really happened...

(Rarity : Twilight Sparkle!, You have to get ahold of your self! (Apple Jack : Rarity's right we have to get a move on, it's getting late... (Twilight Sparkle : Spike... *wipes away tears* Ok girls lets get going... (Rainbow Dash : I'll fly up ahead and see if there's any place we can stay for the night. *tries to fly* (Narrator : As Rainbow Dash tries over and over again to fly it doesn't work. (Rainbow Dash : What's going on with my wings? Flutter Shy try to fly. (Narrator : As the Unicorns try using magic and the pegasus' try flying, nothing works.

(Rarity : The reasonable answer would be that the Trotters have done something to Equestria so until we leave nothing's going to work... (Twilight Sparkle : Wow Rarity, that sounds like it could be possible! Ok lets go find somewhere to stay for the night then we'll figure out what to do at dawn. (Apple Jack : Twilight behind you! (Narrator : The 5 other friends jumped in front of Twilight to protect her from the Trotter, Rarity kicked the Trotter and Flutter Shy jumped on the Trotters head while the others beat up the Trotter. (Twilight Sparkle : Flutter Shy?, Pinkie Pie? Where did my two friendly friends go? (Pinkie Pie : Well Pinkie Pie left ever since we came to Equestria... (Flutter Shy : And Flutter Shy left once I saw my first Trotter.

(Narrator : Once the friends killed the Trotter Rarity had a great idea for how they'll get to there home in the dark. (Rarity : This is gonna be horrible but lets put Trotter Guts and other *nearly pukes* things on us so then we smell like them... Maybe that will work? (Apple Jack : I can not believe you of all people would suggest something like that. (Rarity : It was a tough decision. (Twilight Sparkle : Wait maybe she's onto something! (Apple Jack : By putting *points to dead Trotter* that on us? (Twilight Sparkle : It's worth a shot. (Narrator : As they rubbed the Trotter guts and other organs on them Rarity puked and they tried rubbing the stuff on the three fillies but they wouldn't so they just forced the guts and other organs on them.

(Twilight Sparkle : *whispers* Look at this house the door is shut, so there should be no Trotters in there. (Rarity : *opens door* go in quick! (Narrator : Once they were in Twilight and Rainbow Dash boarded up the windows and doors, then they went up into the 2nd floor to see if there are any Trotters... (Twilight Sparkle : Ah! Rainbow behind you! (Rainbow Dash : *turns around and kicks the Trotter like a champ!* It is dead now... (Rarity : Is it safe up there? (Twilight Sparkle : Yes, but there's an Attic so don't go up there okay? (Everyone except Twilight : Okay. (Rarity : *yawn* I think we should all get some sleep... *pulls blankets out of the draws and onto the bed and goes to sleep*

(Twilight Sparkle : *yawn* Yeah, I think we should all go to sleep... good night everyone *goes to sleep* (Narrator : As everyone went to sleep, the 3 fillies decided that they were gonna go into the Attic and look around. Lets just say that didn't go so well... (Apple Bloom : Come on girls lets go into the Attic and see what we can find! (Sweetie Belle : That doesn't sound like something we should do... Twilight said that we can't go into the Attic. (Scootaloo : Oh your just a chicken! (Sweetie Belle : Well I'm staying here where it's safe! (Apple Bloom : Suit your self *walks over to the Attic trap door* (Scootaloo : I'll give you a hoof up okay? (Apple Bloom : Okay Scootaloo.

(Narrator : Sweetie Belle new that since the Trotters came to Equestria it was best to stay with the big ponies. (Sweetie Belle : Rarity wake up! Apple Bloom and Scootaloo went into the Attic! (Rarity : Ah!!! Oh no, oh no oh no oh no! Twilight Apple Bloom and Scootaloo went up into the Attic! (Twilight Sparkle : Oh no!, But the reason I told them no was beca- (Apple Bloom & Scootaloo : Ahhhh!!! (Twilight Sparkle : Because we didn't check to see if there were any Trotters up there! (Narrator : Once they got into the Attic the 2 Fillies were already gone... Luckily they managed to kill the Trotter before anyone else got hurt.

Next time on "The Trotting Dead"... (Apple Jack : You silly filly... We told you not to go up there... Rest in peace... (Rainbow Dash : Why couldn't you see Scootaloo... We told you no for a reason...

Day 3, "R.I.P 2 Little Fillies..."

(Apple Jack : You silly filly... We told you not to go up there... Rest in peace... (Rainbow Dash : Why couldn't you see Scootaloo... We told you no for a reason... (Rarity : Sweetie Belle you don't know how proud I am that you said no and didn't go up here with them... I care so much about you and for once you listened... * smile* So what happened? (Sweetie Belle : Well they were searching for there cutie marks and they called me a chicken for not wanting to go into the Attic.., I was scared to go up for what I would find up there... *starts crying* (Rarity : Oh Sweetie you did the right thing by telling us. It's just so sad that we were to late...

(Twilight Sparkle : If we're gonna get anywhere today we have to get a move on now! (Rarity : I agree with Twilight, we have to go before the Trotters get us... (Apple Bloom : BUT YOU DIDN'T LOOSE A FAMILY MEMBER! Oh my poor little Apple Bloom... (Twilight Sparkle : Oh I didn't loose someone! YESTERDAY I LOST SPIKE!!! HE'S THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE!!! (Rarity : Calm down hone- (Twilight Sparkle : NO!, IF APPLE JACK WONT COME THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO BE ON OUR WAY!!! (Rainbow Dash : Twilight's right... we have to go or else we'll become like her, Scootaloo and.., Spike... (Apple Jack : FINE THEN LEAVE ME HERE!!! At least I'll be here with you... till the end...

(Narrator : Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Flutter Shy and Sweetie Belle all left the house because Apple Jack wouldn't leave her little sister. As Rarity looked up at the sky to where the sun was (she didn't look at the sun) and said... (Rarity : It's almost 12... And it's really, hot... (Narrator : As Rarity passes out on the floor some Trotters saw the 5 friends and were coming in fast. (Twilight Sparkle : Where's Sweetie Belle?! (Rainbow Dash : Rarity!, Wake up *shakes Rarity* (Rarity : Just 5 more minutes... *falls asleep* (Princess Celestia : Come girls! (Narrator : Princess Celestia was waving her hoof at the girls signalling for them to come to her. (Twilight Sparkle : If she wont wake up then I'll have to carry her!, Come on girls!
