Friendship Makes Them Stronger

Golden Heart used her magic to bounce a bright red bouncy ball that possibly belonged to one of the other foals, against the wall to keep herself entertained to prevent herself from going completely insane. The shed was full of items that were taken away from them and she wondered if those foalnappers would use them for something. The door opened and one of the unicorns stood there and picked Golden Heart up with their magic to the gate. They threw her in and she fell onto her stomach.

“Morning, Golden Heart, back from holiday?” Silver Star asked with a big smile on her face as Gold Star walked beside her.

“Silver Star, I was in solitary confinement.” Golden Heart replied as she brushed most of the dirt of herself.

“It's nice to have some time to yourself, isn't it?” Silver Star responded with a giggle.

Gold Star rolled her dark blue eyes and shook her head. The bell for role call rang and every foal started to panic and had trouble getting to their usual spots in line.

“Move it, come on, we need to get in line before they get there!” Topaz yelled in a panicked voice and he pushed some of the other foals into their spots in line.

They all got into line and looked forward, their eyes with fear. The gate opened and they all stood up straight like the soldiers they saw sometimes at a medieval fair or in the movies. The unicorns all walked past them and they held a clipboard that had all their names and what jobs they had. If no pony got anything done or did good in their jobs, they would be sent to 'The Room'.

“Thank goodness you are back, Golden Heart,” Cookie said with a calm voice and she looked up at the foalnappers with anger and fear. “Do we have a new plan?”

Golden Heart looked up and she passed a crumpled piece of paper to Cookie and she looked at it with a tilt of her head. One of the foalnappers then stopped and stared at them but Cookie managed to hide the crumpled piece of paper in time before they could see it. The foalnapper then held a blank piece of paper and stretched it until it ripped. All the foals gulped and gave looks of fear and they walked away with a suspicious look at Golden Heart and Cookie. Golden Heart stared back at them with her lip trembling as if she was ready to cry but she knew better not to do it because it would make her seem like a coward.

“Didn't we try to go under the fence?” Candy asked with a whisper as she looked at what Cookie was holding.

Golden Heart reached behind her and turned the paper the other way and Candy and Cookie widened their eyes.

“That seems good, getting over the fence is better than going under it after I got my ribbon stuck.” Cookie replied with a smile and she nodded then dug into the dirt and put the paper into the hole to hide it.

One of the foalnappers was given the clipboard and they walked and followed all the names with their eyes as it had every foal in order in the lines.

“How did you do at your jobs?” Golden Heart asked in a whisper.

“Oh I did great, I managed to get two hundred sweets done and hopefully that I don't get sent to 'The Room'.” Candy replied with some confidence then she turned to the foalnappers and her voice turned to a scared one.

One of the foalnappers then stopped in front of a filly and every foal gasped in horror.

“Oh no, it's Cloudberry...!” Golden Heart whispered in horror and surprise.

“Candy, Floss, why didn't you help her out?”

“We would've but she didn't tell us, she told nopony.” Floss replied with sadness and Cloudberry was then lifted by some magic and she was levitated into the building.

Cookie put a hoof to her throat, Topaz put his foreleg around her and stroked her blue and white mane.

“Oooh, is Cloudberry off on holiday?” Silver Star asked with a smile and Gold Star, without hesitation, whacked her twin sister on the head.

The rest of the foalnappers walked away into the building and the foals all tried to look like they weren't noticing what was happening but it was no use. Golden Heart trotted quietly to the back of the building and she stared at the fence and wished that she could just fly over it but it was just no use. She climbed a ladder that was against the building and flew the rest of the way up to the roof. She looked through the window and saw a shadow of the foalnappers and Cloudberry, going into a room. For the first time, she was to know what would happen to them in 'The Room' if they were to die.

She then heard the noise of hooves stomping and cries of pain, begging for mercy and to not receive the punishment but it didn't stop them. The noises then faded and Golden Heart felt sadness go through her chest and she held one of her hooves to it. She climbed down the ladder again and couldn't be bothered to fly the rest of the way. Some birds flew by and Golden Heart looked at them with tears in her grey eyes.

“We've got to escape this somehow.” Golden Heart said to herself and she started to sob.

Cookie, Topaz, Candy, Floss, Gold Star and Silver Star walked over to her and sat down.

“Are we still going to try and escape?” Cookie asked and she wrapped her forelegs around Golden Heart and the rest of the friends did the same.

“Of course we are, let's have a meeting tonight in our room. Round up all the other foals too,” Golden Heart replied with a choked voice, she turned to them all and gave a small smile. “You guys are the best friends I've ever had. I promise that every single foal will escape and we are not to stop until every one of them is out.”

They all smiled and they joined in a group hug then walked to their room, all close together.

Author's Note

That was a nice way to end an episode even after a foal just got murdered. Btw , a character from one of my other fan fics will appear and it'll probably be like Pixar and Disney, have their characters make cameos in their films.
