Shocked and Speechless

The girl’s crying had woken up Scootaloo, who was awake half the night.

“I’m trying to get some sleep here. What’s the ma-” she got cut off by the sight of the television screen.

“What the heck happened?” she asked, and almost immediately, the news anchor answered again in the same exact tone of voice as before.

Scootaloo immediately turned to Rainbow Dash, who was still crying, but not full out. “Didn’t you want to join the Wonderbolts?” she asked, trying not to upset her.

Rainbow Dash didn’t answer. She knew that Scootaloo wasn’t trying to hurt her feelings, but she couldn’t help but crying anyways.

Scootaloo was the only one who wasn’t crying. She knew the incident was upsetting, but she was too young to understand what was really going on. She decided to see what time it was. 9:02 am.

“Okay, I think we should turn the TV off.” Twilight sniffled, as she headed towards the TV. But just as she was about to turn it off, ANOTHER Wonderbolt became visible. All three girls were hoping that he/she would just fly by, but they all had a sick feeling in their stomachs that they knew its intentions.

Before they could talk, the Wonderbolt crashed into the other tower, hitting it lower. Rainbow Dash’s worst nightmare came true. The lower it hits, the more ponies die, the more that are trapped. Twilight was speechless. She didn’t have words for what she just saw LIVE on TV. Scootaloo was the only one that screamed.

The scream woke up all of the other ponies.

“What the Sam Hill is goin’ on here?” asked a baffled Applejack. She and the other ponies noticed the TV on, and instinct told them to turn to it. Within a matter of seconds, the room went quiet, except for the sound of the TV and Scootaloo’s crying.

Rarity finally got the nerve to talk. “Is that, the, Celestia Clone Center?” she asked. Every pony answered with a nod.

Pinkie Pie started laughing maniacally. It was clear that she thought it was a joke, but also knew that this was the real deal. Laughing turned to crying within a few seconds. They knew this was a big deal because Pinkie Pie, the only pony who laughs in the face of danger, was crying. They all knew one thing: Equestria was under attack.
