Horror is Magic

Chapter 1: Resident Equestria

Ever hear the MLP Theme song sung by the guy who says “Resident Evil”? No? Well it’s scary.

Pinkie, Twilight, and Spike just finished rearranging Twilight’s library for the 400th time.

Pinkie: *staring at the sky* Our theme song seems off today…

TS: I don’t know what you’re talking about, but today does seem a little strange. Aside from you I haven’t seen anypony around.

Pinkie: Maybe they’re playing Hide and Seek!

TS: Pinkie, be serious, they could be in trouble!

Pinkie: Right, serious! *tries to make serious face*

TS: *sigh* Just forget it.

Pinkie: Right, forget. *tries to forget* 1... 2... 3... Poof!

TS: Oh look! There’s Lyra, she can give us some answers.

Pinkie suddenly puts on a very unsettling face.

Pinkie: Right, answers! *she takes out a spiked bat*

TS: I don’t think that will be necessary…

Pinkie: Shows what you know, everything is necessary… especially bats.

TS: Where did you get that bat anyway?

Pinkie: I have bats stored all over ponyville in case of a bat emergency!

TS: Okay, just be careful with that thing.

Pinkie starts juggling the spiked bat.

Pinkie: Careful is my middle name!

They walk up to Lyra, who is stumbling around rather awkwardly.

TS: Are you okay? You look a bit green… more than usual I mean.

Pinkie: I think she’s a zombie!

TS: Don’t be silly Pinkie, she’s not a zom-

Lyra’s arm falls off and she turns around, showing her bloody face. She grabs Twilight and jerks her head back, preparing to bite.

Pinkie: ZOMBIEEEE!

Pinkie hits Lyra with the bat and Lyra’s head bursts like a melon, her body crumples to the floor like a puppet.

TS: *eye twitch* Okay… keep calm Twilight… Pinkie didn’t just kill Lyra…

Pinkie: *covered in blood* I told you we needed the bat!

TS: But- but you just killed Lyra!

Pinkie: She was a zombie anyway, she doesn’t care.

TS: I- I don’t know what to say about that…

Pinkie: Can you say it to them?

Pinkie points to a shambling herd of zom-ponies approaching the two.

TS: We should get back to the library….

Pinkie: Why? This is a lot of fun!

TS: Pinkie…

Pinkie crosses her hooves and pouts.

Pinkie: Fine.

They run back into the library as fast as they can. Pinkie’s bat became stuck in a zom-pony’s brain on the way.

Spike: Back so soon Twilight? What’s wrong?

TS: *hyperventilating* Zombies! Outside! Lyra! Bat! IT’S EVERYWHERE!

Spike: What?

TS boards up the door with boards that happened to be sitting around. The zombies gather at the door start bashing on it.

Spike: Twilight, calm down. What’s that noise?

TS: *calms down* There are zombies outside, and they want to EAT US!

Spike: Well! Look who’s right this time! It’s me! Spike! Master of Prediction!

TS: Spike, this is serious! Everypony in town is infected!

Spike: Well, that would explain why Derpy crashed through our wall…

Derpy: Nope! I’m not a zombie! I just wanted to say hi! Sorry about the wall.

TS: Okay, we need to think of a plan…

Pinkie: Can we throw a party?

TS: No, we can’t throw a party.

Pinkie: Why not? I’ll get some cupcakes! Then everypony can have a big party! The zombies too!

Pinkie hops through the hole Derpy made in the wall and evades the zombies.

Spike: Will she be okay? She looked a bit… crazy.

TS: I don’t know Spike, but I hope so.
