The End Of Days
Ponyville Decay
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was waiting around the bakery waiting for the Cakes to return from their Canterlot vacation. I had thrown together a quick surprise party in a word of their quick return due to an accident in their Canterlot bakery. From the sounds of it, the accident was a mishap in the kitchen. Everypony was silently waiting in the packed service area of the bakery. We all heard the sound of somepony trotting up. We got ready to jump at whoever was on the other side of the door. You heard the familiar sound of the lock sliding out of place and the door opening.
"SUPRISE," everypony yelled all at one. I saw the shocked Mr. Cake standing in the door holding a basket of cupcakes. He walked in and set the basket on the table next to the other treats and drinks. He walked over to me and asked me to follow him. I followed him outside and saw Mrs. Cake struggling to stand up out of her carriage. I walked over and pulled her out of the ride with the help of Mr. Cake. Mrs. Cake looked terrible so I was thinking about throwing off the part so she could rest.
I wandered back inside and shoved everypony out of the bakery so Mrs. Cake could get some rest. I was sad that I had to throw off probably the party I had ever except that one time with Twilight when she came to town. I helped Mr. Cake get Mrs. Cake into their room and their bed so she could rest and get better faster. I left the Cakes to get some rest after their vacation away from Ponyville. I wandered over to Twilights castle to say hi to her after she got back from doing stuff in a medical lab. I trotted over to her castle, when I saw Applejack with her little sister, Apple Bloom, wandering over to Rarity's boutique. From here Applejack looked tired and was coughing a lot. I walked over to the boutique and got in earshot of AJ's and Rarity's conversation.
"Hi Rarity, I was wondering if you could watch over Apple Bloom for awhile," AJ asked Rarity with a grimace as she tried to hold back another cough.
"My oh my darling, of course, but you should go see a doctor," Rarity replied. I watched as Apple Bloom walked inside and hugged Sweetie Belle. Rarity closed the door and Applejack wandered on back to her home on Sweet Apple Acres. I continued on my journey to Twilight's castle.
30 minutes later, 20 hours until the fall of the hive, 27 hours until the end of Ponyville
I knocked on Twilights castle door and waited for her to answer. Spike answered the door looking like his normal self, except with rings under his eyes. He let me in and led me to Twilight. Twilight was laying in her bed, her mane looking like a birds nest. Her wings looked like they were attacked by a tornado, with some of the feathers laying on her bed and on the floor. Her horn looked cracked and dry as if it hadn't been used for a while. She was constantly coughing up a dark black substance. Spike stopped me at the door and walked in by himself. He tried to give Twilight some soup, but when she ate it she threw it back up.
"Hi Twilight, I stopped by to say hi, but I guess your not doing too well so I'm going to leave," I told her as I left. If she had heard me she didn't acknowledge me. I left her house and headed back home to get some sleep. I saw few ponies on the cobbled streets of Ponyville, which wasn't very strange as few ever left their house. I said hi to the very few ponies that I had found on my way back home. I reached my house and wandered inside towards my rather comfy couch. I laid down stomach down and passed out.
7 hours later, 13 hours until main hive collapse, 20 hours until Ponyville falls
I awoke at around 2 in the morning. I got up and walked over to my kitchen in search of food. I found a box of saltine crackers and slowly ate them. I got some dip out of the fridge. I dipped the cracker into the dip and went back to eating slowly. I checked the time and the clock read 4 am. I had been eating crackers and dip for the past two hours. I put the foodstuffs away and got ready to head to work. I left my cozy house and walked to the bakery. Most ponies asked me why I left so early before my shift started, and my answer was always that I wanted to get a batch of cupcakes going before anypony showed up for their morning coffee and cupcake or muffin, with the occasional biscuit and cinnamon roll. I walked into the bakery and quickly got a batch of cupcakes going. I walked over to the counter and waited for ponies to come in. Today was going to be a pretty boring day.
18 hours later, Hive has already fallen, 2 hours until Ponyville falls
I stretched as I ended my shift for the day. I left the bakery and sat on a bench next to Cheerilee.
"Hi, Cheerilee," I announced myself to the school teacher.
"Oh, hello Pinkie," she said back with a nice tone, even though I heard the tiredness in her voice. "Have you seen anypony recently?"
"No, I only saw the regular ponies in the bakery today," I told her as I ate a chocolate cupcake that I had gotten from the bakery. "Well, I guess I'll see you around."
I left the teacher as I headed down to AJ's farm to check on her. I wandered down to the orchard passing nopony on the streets. A ghost town is what Ponyville looked like right now. Even though it was 6:00 pm ponies should be outside right now. I reached Applejack's farm and knocked on the front door of the farmhouse, expecting Granny Smith or Big Mac to answer the door. Nopony answered the door. I knocked again, this time, a little harder. Nopony was answering the door. I tried the door knob and, to my surprise, opened. I walked inside the dark farmhouse. I saw nopony in the kitchen nor living room. I was about to leave thinking that they were all asleep until I heard a bang from upstairs. I slowly made my way up the stairs while avoiding the sixth, ninth and eleventh step, as they were the ones that creaked when a pressure was applied. I walked over to Apple Bloom's room first expecting to see nothing as Apple Bloom was at Rarity's. I next walked over to Granny Smith's room and saw nothing. I walked over to Applejack's room and saw nothing in the room. I finally walked to Big Mac's room and nearly screamed at what I saw. I saw Applejack and Granny Smith eating Big Mac. Applejack looked like herself, except the blood on her muzzle, coat, mane, and cowboy hat. Granny Smith, however, looked like she went through an industrial sized fan. Her coat was either bloodied or ripped apart. Here back left leg was mangled beyond all repair. It was broken in two places and was bleeding profusely. I slowly made my way away from the scene. I walked down the stairs, but miscounted the steps and stepped on the ninth step. A loud creak made it's way through the house, and for a moment, everything stopped. I looked back and saw an angered Applejack and Granny Smith looking at me. I ran down the rest of the stairs with a snarling Applejack and Granny Smith on my tail. I ran towards Twilight's castle and hoped I could get some help from the angered cow ponies. I ran faster than I knew I could and was outside of Twilight's castle withing a matter of a minute or two. I ran inside not bothering to knock. I ran towards Twilight's room and hoped she wasn't like Applejack. I looked in and saw Spike against the wall, with Twilight on top of him tearing at his throat and swallowing whatever she could get. I ran from the castle and not looking back I ran towards Rarity's boutique.
Rarity was outside her boutique, taking her clothes off the line. She saw me and looked rather shocked that I had been crying.
"Why are you crying my dear," she asked as I ran up to her. "Are you okay, Pinkie."
"No, I'm not alright, Big Mac and Spike are dead, and Twilight, Granny Smith, and Applejack," I stopped as to make myself no throw up. "There is something wrong with our friends."
"What do you mean dead my dear, Big Mac's right there," I turn and saw a partially eaten Big Mac. He looked at me and snapped his teeth together and snarling. I made a move for the boutique, which caused Big Mac to charge. Rarity and I ran into the boutique and slammed the door behind us. Rarity leaned against the door with all her weight to keep the beast out. I ran upstairs and saw Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle asleep on a pile of soft looking cloth. I quickly awoke them and told them what was happening. We started to make our way back downstairs, until I heard the front slam open, followed by a scream as Rarity was probably eaten by Big Mac. Sweetie Belle ran downstairs, followed by her scream and then just a lot of chewing. Apple Bloom and I quickly ran towards the window of the boutique, and we left that way. Apple bloom had left first, then I left. I looked back and saw a partially devoured Rarity in the stairwell. I quickly left via the window, before she saw me, and ran towards my house. Sweet Celestia what is heppening to my friends.
