Day 1

I woke up in the morning to see that Silver was still sleeping soundly. Seconds after I woke up, she woke up.

I opened my curtains to see something very strange, the sun and the moon were both in the sky at the same time. Silver flew over to me and landed on my back. I trotted through the castle heading to the throne room noticing that there were no guards anywhere.

When I got to the throne room, my parents weren't there. After that I looked in their bedroom, but they weren't there either.

Maybe they're somewhere in the empire I thought. I left the castle and began walking around, but not only did I not find my parents, there was nopony anywhere.

"What is going on?" I asked myself. Then I thought "Maybe they went to Ponyville"

I went to the train station to go to Ponyville, only to find that the train was half off of the track on fire.

"What is happening? The Empire is abandoned, the train is trashed, and I can't find my parents. Guess I'm going to have to fly to Ponyville."

I made sure that Silver was secure, spread my wings, and began the long flight to Ponyville. As I was flying, I noticed that there were no Pegasi flying around, even though I wasn't flying very high off the ground. That made me even more confused.

A couple hours later, I landed in Ponyville. Unfortunately, It was also empty. The marketplace, which usually was full of creatures going from shop to shop and chatting with other creatures, was unusually quiet. I tried calling out for anycreature that lived in Ponyville, but got no response.

I walked over to Sweet Apple Acres and discovered that most of the apple trees were piles of ash while the others were burning. Sugarcube Corner was littered with ruined sweets and had many ants crawling all over the store. Carousel boutique had torn dresses and cloth everywhere, Fluttershy's cottage was also a pile of ash. I assume it was because of the storm last night.

After exploring what remained of Ponyville, I walked over to Starlight's castle. I opened the door and started walking around the long empty hallways, looking through rooms to try and find anycreature. But no luck

I left the castle and then flew to Canterlot to see if Aunt Twilight was able to help me. When I arrived at the door for the throne room of the castle, there were no guards anywhere. I opened the door and found that it was also empty. But there was a message sitting on Aunt Twilight's throne.

The message said, For whoever reads this message, something terrible has occurred. Last night, a strange storm came and began zapping creatures from existence. I wish that I could've given you the message myself, but it seems that it isn't the case. I hope, whoever you are, will be able to survive on your own, because it doesn't look like we'll be able to ever return. Farewell.

When I read the message, I realized. I was never going to see any of my friends or family. It was just me and Silver for the rest of time. I wanted to cry so much, but I didn't. Crying will make you weak, and there's no room for weakness in this new world.

By this time, I was very tired from flying for a lot of the day. So I went to my Aunt's room in the castle, teleported Silver's crib to the room, and went to bed. But before I fell asleep, I quietly said, "Mom, dad, I wish you were still here. I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, I'll keep Silver flame safe. Goodnight, Mom and Dad." Then I fell asleep.

Day 3

It's been three days since the disappearances. So far, Silver and Logic are doing okay, though Logic is still sad that he lost his old family. I'm currently giving them breakfast, I already ate earlier.

Today I'm going to try to find out what caused the disappearances and if there's a way to bring everycreature back. I'll need to have all the books in Equestria all gathered in one place. It's going to take a long time, but I'll get through it all.

3 days later
I looked through all the books already, and found that the cause was unknown, meaning that the way to reverse the effects is also unknown. So, unless there's something else that I can find, I'm never going to see anycreature ever again.

Just as I put the last book down, there was a flash of light in the middle of the room. From that flash of light came a very familiar creature.

"What are you doing here Discord?" I said, not excited like I usually am when I see him.

"My, I assume something terrible happened. You're usually full of joy when you see me. Maybe I could tell you some of your favorite jokes to cheer you up."

"Don't, just don't. This can't be fixed with jokes, parties, pranks, or anything like that."

"If it can't be fixed by those, then what happened?"

"7 days ago after my birthday, there was a storm at night. I put up a magic soundproof barrier in the wall so that my little sister wouldn't wake up. The next morning, everycreature except for you, me, my sister, and this dragonequus I found crying in an alley disappeared. And the worst part is, I don't know what caused them to disappearances or how to bring them back. I won't ever see them again."

"Oh, dear. Does that mean that Fluttershy is?"

"Yeah, she's also gone. But it's not time to cry, I've already lost that ability. Now is not the time to mourn over the past, it's time to look to the future without them. That's what I'm going to do."

"You're right, I must learn to adapt to being one of the last creatures left on Equus. Farewell for now." Then he disappeared.

When he left, I gave my younger siblings their supper before I led them to our room, which now had an extra bed for Logic. Right before they fell asleep, I sang them something that I felt I needed to.

(Keep holding on belongs to Arvil Lavigne)

When Silver and Logic were fast asleep, I went to bed myself.

How it started

My name is Flurry Heart, I'm 14 years old, I have a younger alicorn sister named Silver flame and we are the last ponies left alive.

If you're wondering why we're the only ponies left alive, I'll tell you, but it's very sad.

It began yesterday on my birthday, my birthday was so much fun. All of my friends, my aunt and her friends, my parents and grandparents, and the former rulers of Equestria were guests at the party. I received many gifts. I got a custom party cannon(I don't even have to say who that was from), three Daring Do books from Rainbow dash, some new clothes from Rarity, a new hair-bow from Applejack, a stuffed bear from Fluttershy, a Crusader cape with my cutie mark from the CMC, a photo of all of us from my last birthday from Aunt Twilight, decorative clay sun and moon from Celestia and Luna (made by them). They were all pretty great, but the greatest gift I received that night was special news from my parents.

When I asked them what their gift was, they said

"Your gift from us to you is something that you'll treasure for your whole life."

"What is it?" I asked

"Flurry Heart, meet your sister, Silver flame."

As soon as they finished saying that, I started crying hard. I wasn't crying because I thought that they would replace me, I was crying because I wanted a younger sister for several years.

"May I hold her?" I asked

"Of course you can." They said, giving Silver to me.

As I held Silver in my hooves, everycreature there had a look of joy.

That was the greatest moments in my life, no joke. That moment lasted 15 minutes straight.

We ended our moment when the cake was cut. Obviously, I got the first piece. We had lots of fun that night, I wish that it could've lasted.

When the last piece of the cake was eaten, I decided to go to bed because I was exhausted. Plus, it was time for Silver to go to bed too. We both shared the same room, thankfully and I put her in her crib before I got into my bed.

5 hours later, there was a thunderstorm, which woke up Silver and she started crying. Luckily, I knew how to block out all sounds outside of our room.

When I did, I quietly sang to Silver to help her get to sleep again. Then I also went back to bed too.

Day 2

Day 2

It's been one whole day since the disappearances. I'm still getting used to not having anycreature around except my sister. I just gave her breakfast and I'm having pancakes and hay-bacon. After breakfast, Silver and I are going to go gather some supplies for us.

As we traveled the now abandoned city of Canterlot, I looked around at what remained of Canterlot. I still was freaked out that everycreature was gone.

30 minutes passed before we came the Canterlot Boutique. We walked inside and noticed that it was a mess. But I didn't care, I was there to get some clothes, preferably a unused brown hooded robe for myself. As I was walking by the alley right next to the boutique, I heard somecreature crying. Curious, I walked into the alley to see what was making the noise. What I found was a young dragonequus (dragon-draconequus hybrid) sitting there.

I walked over to him and put my wings around him while running my hoof on his back. “Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked him.

“I-I l-lost my family.” He said, before continuing to cry.

I felt bad for him, I knew that he wouldn’t be able to survive without a family, he was too young.

“If you want,” I said, “you could come with us.”

“Really” he responded.

“Really” I said back.

He was so happy after hearing me say that, he started crying from joy. “Thank you” he said, hugging me.

“You’re welcome” I said back.

We started walking back to the castle after that. On the way there, I asked the dragonequus, “What’s your name?”

“I’m logic warper.” He said

“Welcome to the family, logic.” I said, “Or should I say, little brother.”

He stopped walking when he heard me say that and hugged me again, crying even harder. I put him on my back with my magic and started flying back to the castle with him and Silver. When we got to the castle, I put them to bed before going to bed myself.
