There in Ponyville lay a young colt, outstretched on his bed. "I'm sorry, Button, but war never changes," said his dad in his dreams.

"No...dad, don't leave me! DAAAAAAD!!!!!!" said the young colt in his sleep, waking up from the nightmare. Looks like Princess Luna was busy, with her subjects having nightmares. Button's mom came in, after hearing the screaming.

"Dzień dobry My Colt!" (Although Mrs. Mash was Foalish,she spoke fluent English, but she did speak some Foalish around the house.)

"Ranek, mom..." Buton replied with a feeling of emptiness, with his father not there. But Mrs. Mash could know what he was thinking.

"I miss your father to, Button," she said as she cried with her son, not knowing when Mr. Mash would return. Button calmed himself down a bit and ate breakfast, and every bite of his food, knowing not to waste in war time. And then Button started to school.

"PA Mom!" Button shouted.

"PA son! Don't forget your lunch!" as Mrs. Mash handed here son a brown bag with his name on it.

On Button's way to school, he saw many propaganda posters about the enemy, such as a one with a pair of two evil looking ears with white letters saying: "WATCH WHAT YOU SAY! THE ENEMY COULD HEAR ONE DAY!" There was also a poster that Button felt very emotional about, with a silver pony in an army uniform, pointing to the middle East, and the poster screamed: "THE ENEMY IS OVER THERE! WE NEED EVERYPONY TO HELP US WIN! JOIN THE EQUESTRIAN ARMY TODAY!" Button, seeing this poster thought of his father, and ran so he couldn't hear the reminiscencents of his dad there.

Finally, Button made it to school. And he saw he wasn't the only one depressed about this war, as many of his usually cheerful classmates were now angry at Celestia, sad about this situation, and some were even crying.

Mrs. Cherilee walked in. Most thought she was about to end the sorrow, but she only contributed more sorrow THAN the whole class. "cla...ss, this, this, is General Megaflair." The teacher sighed. (I really felt sorry for her, and when she passed away, I carried her soul lightly to a special pony she would've liked when she was alive.)

General Megaflair marched in to the classroom, with no hesitation. This grey stallion had an Equestrian army coat on, with dozens of medals.

"Alright Students!" he shouted, from obvious Horseshoe camp training. (I remember that he HATED Horseshoe camp, and cried to go home many days, but eventually made it.) "Now as you know wete at war with Saddle Arabia, and they are taking over many countries as we speak. And they're threatening good ol' Equestria."

Button raised his hoof.

"Now, as the Equestrian army fights on in The middle East, we need to play a major part by rationing," he said.

The general handed out a black book. A ration book.

"Now, to sustain the war effort, you must ration your food. Give these to your parents so you can eat, and we can win," the General said lightly. As he marched out, most of the class just sat there, wondering if this war was necessary.

As Button walked home, he couldn't feel anything but bad. His dad was off in a war that had nothing to do with Equestria. What was he even doing? Would he make it? Would the enemy win? Was the enemy an actually an enemy? Button didn't know.

Oh, Button doesn't know about his father, but I know about the war, for I was there, collecting the ones drafted, having to fight. As the fighting happened, I was collecting the casualties. Citizens, soldiers, young and old, the animals, and a lot of people.
