Narrator: The two sisters left for the forest, almost right away finding a puddle of water. It was kinda dirty, but it was better than what was on the streets, for sure. Luna happily started lapping at the puddle, whining in joy.

“It’s tasty!”

Narrator: Celestia smiled for the first time in awhile, and joined in. Luna was surprisingly right, it was good!

“Ewwww….” Twilight cringed away. “That’s really gross, but I can’t blame you for thinking it was tasty. Street water is repulsive.”

Rainbow gagged. “I think I’m going to hurl.” She pelted away to the trash can to empty her stomach of its contents.

“I think I did that once when I was young…” Fluttershy recalled.

Applejack felt bile rise into her throat. “Well, uh… that was… uh, a thing..” she took off her hat to wipe her sweaty forehead.

Luna retched and almost had to slam her hoof into her mouth. “Were we really that desperate?!” she swore under her breath. “That water looks like Discord tainted it!”

Pinkie Pie looked at them with a “seriously?” expression on her face, and Celestia awkwardly shrugged.

Narrator: After the filles had all the water they wanted, their spirits lifted. But it was soon gone by a howl.
“What was that?” Luna tensed in fear.

Celestia’s ear flicked and she came to her sister’s side. “Sounds like a wolf…”

Luna let out a wail. “I don’t wanna see wolf!”

Celestia immediately hugged her sister, looking into the direction the howl came from. “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

“PLEASE tell me you didn’t actually try and fight a Timberwolf!” Twilight begged a shell shocked Luna. “PLEASE!”

Celestia took a deep breath.

Narrator: The howl turned into snarling, and out came the most horrible timberwolf the two filles had ever seen. It towered at 9’7 and it’s fangs were so huge they could crack open a ponies head. Luna let out a horrible wail and pressed to the floor.

“HOLY BUCK THAT IS A BIG TIMBERWOLF!” Rainbow fell from her beanbag in shock.

Luna only blinked.

Fluttershy hid behind Rarity, while Celestia stared in horror. She knew what was coming soon.

Twilight let out a low whine. “No…”

Celestia lowered her head among the sight, holding her sister tightly. Her mind was racing. What should she do? There was no way a small foal like her could defeat such a large creature!

“Please tell me ya ran!” Applejack’s eyes were tiny dots in a sea of white. “That thing makes Discord seem tiny!”

Luna blinked again.

Rainbow gulped, her ego not making her speak this time in fear for the two filles on screen.

Celestia looked away as tears sprung in her eyes.

The timberwolf didn’t wait any longer and lunged, shoving Celestia out of the way and grabbing poor Luna in its jaws. It crunched down.

The clearing could only stare in utter horror as they saw blood fly across the screen.

Twilight let out a scream and started tearing her pillow apart in a fit.

Rainbow ran to throw up for a second time, while Applejack could only hitch her breath and slowly hide her eyes with a hoof.

Pinkie was stunned. Rarity and Fluttershy looked away and held each other closely.

A gag shuddered in Luna’s throat and her tongue hung out, heaves convulsing in her chest.
“Ahh……….”

Celestia quickly hid the footage from Luna with her wing.

After getting pushed onto the ground, Celestia pushed her mane away, only to see Luna getting crushed. Tears rushed to her eyes and her body trembled. “No!” She screamed.

“...Why?” Applejack whispered.

Pinkie started crying again, burying her face into her hooves.

Luna finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and bolted to the nearest trash can to puke, tears pumping down her face.

Celestia, at this point, could no longer look at the screen.

Twilight stopped tearing her pillow to throw herself into her former mentor’s chest fur. “No… no….” she sobbed, a panic attack about to take over her.

Quickly, Celestia held Twilight, taking slow breaths in hopes of calming her down.

Purple hooves pressed at white fur like a filly. “Princes… I’m sorry, I...I….” Drool, snot and tears stained Celestia’s chest as the young alicorn cried for Luna’s first, yet tragic death.

Rainbow and Luna laid on the floor next to the trash cans, tears pumping down their faces and bellies aching.

“Man…” Rainbow croaked. “There goes my lunch….”

Luna groaned. “I feel like death has come to take me once more…” she raised her head, only to flop down some moments later.

Pinkie worriedly looked at them.

“I am fine,” Luna lied, wobbling as she got on all fours. “Just great.” Rainbow made eye contact with Pinkie and mouthed, “No she’s not.”

Applejack helped Rainbow get back to her seat, then she slowly pulled the sobbing Twilight away from Celestia and gave her a clean pillow and a soda.

Rarity and Fluttershy got out of their crying trance, and helped each other wipe away tears.

Luna sat on her haunches, watching everypony with a blank expression. “Is everypony ok?” she asked softly.

“I-I think so.” Fluttershy sniffled.

“Rarity?” Luna asked next.

“Mhm.” Rarity answered.

After Luna had confirmed everypony had mostly calmed down for the moment, she slowly clopped back to her seat, looking at the floor.

Celestia looked at her sister, and wrapped her in a hug.

Luna let out a low whine and snuggled into the hug.
