"Welcome to The Almost Everything Store, and my name is Starlight Glimmer, what's yours, and how can I help you?"

"My name's Crazy Dave, but you can call me Crazy Dave," said Dave, who was at a store and talking to a unicorn pony, who had pink fur, and a purple and teal mane and tail. She was helping out as a volunteer at the store. "I want to purchase some Plant Food. I heard that they were just made last week and were stocked yesterday, and I want to use it to help my plant army."

"Well, we only have one bag of it left," said the unicorn.

"What happened?"

"Some zombies raided the store and took every bag, but they dropped one without noticing it."

"Well, I want to buy it. How many bits?"

"10 bits."

"Sure, show me it please."

The unicorn led Dave to where the last bag of Plant Food was. Dave thanked the unicorn and bought the bag. He then went to the cashier, paid the ten bits, thanked the cashier as well, and walked out of the store.

"Say," said Zomboss to the other zombies, "maybe we should all go out all at once?"

"That might work," said Purple.

"Let's do it then," said Grassy.

The ten plants were just chilling out on the lawn.

"Aaaah, such a nice day on the lawn," said Peashooter.

"At least until the zombies come," muttered Single Cherry.

"Always the snarker, aren't you?" said Sunflower.

"Say, I wonder where Dave and Twilight are," wondered Potato Mine.

"Dave went out shopping, and Twilight is trying to make amends with an old friend of hers," answered Cabbage-pult.

Just then Dave popped out of a bush, making all the plants scream in surprise.

"WABBY WABBO!"

"Dave!" shouted Peashooter. "You scared us!"

"Oh, sorry," said the peach-colored pony. "Anyways, I bought the last stock of Plant Food. Apparently, somepony told me that Zomboss and his cronies stole the rest of it."

"What's Plant Food?" asked Cabbage-pult.

"What he said," said Snow Pea. "None of us know what Plant Food is."

"I read the instructions," said Dave. "It says that it will give you all special abilities. Some are temporary, while others last until you are eaten. Since the zombies are coming all at once," he pointed to the zombies walking towards the lawn, "Here, try some," And Dave threw some Plant Food at the plants.

Sunflower and Twin Sunflower began producing more sun energy which made the plants feel more energized, Peashooter and Snow Pea shot a bunch of peas, at Basic, Untote, Armless, Crazy, Elmore, Watterson, and Boot. Wall-nut and Single Cherry gained armor, which stalled Conehead and Caleb for a long time. Potato Mine cloned himself two more times, resulting in three Potato Mines, in which Grassy, Purple, and Nurp stepped on the three, Cabbage-pult's catapult became a cannon and shot cabbages into the sky, which hit Caleb, Conehead, Vaulty, and Sprinty. And last but not least, Chomper's mouth went wide open and pulled Caleb, Vaulty, and Sprinty into his mouth.

"Well, nothing happened to us," said Cherry Bomb's right head.

"The instructions also said that Plant Food doesn't work on several plants," said Dave. "I guess you two don't have a Plant Food ability."

"Darn." frowned the left head of Cherry Bomb as Single Cherry exploded Conehead after the latter bit the former several times, which meant that the plants won the battle once again.

Twilight knew she had to make it right. So she knocked on Moondancer's door again...

"Ugh, what is it?" grumbled Moondancer, who opened the door. “If we're going to talk about that party, you know that was only the first time I put myself out there, and you didn't even bother to show up! Then you left town without saying goodbye even though we were supposed to be friends! I was humiliated! I felt like I wasn't important! I never wanted to let myself be hurt like that again! That was why I moved here!” The cream unicorn began sobbing on the grass while covering her face with her hooves. Twilight put a hoof over Moondancer's shoulder to comfort her.

"You're right. This was all my fault. Back when we were in school together, you invited me to a party. I was so focused on my studies that I didn't show up, but now that I realize how important friendship is, I'm really sorry, Moondancer. I've faced magical creatures, the changelings, zombies, all sorts of things. But seeing how my actions affected you, that was one of the worst feelings I've ever had. Even if you never forgive me, please don't let my mistake be the reason you can't be friends with anypony else."

At that moment, a pony showed up, in which Moondancer recognized her. She had creamy white fur with a light red mane with purple streaks much like Moondancer.

“What? That's my sister!” Moondancer recognized her. She ran up and gave her sister a hug. "I missed you so much, Morning Roast!"

"Heh, you too, Moondancer."

"We'd be glad to be your friends too,"

Moondancer turned around and also saw Dave, Peashooter, Sunflower, Cherry Bomb, Wall-nut, Single Cherry, Twin Sunflower, Potato Mine, Cabbage-pult, Snow Pea, and Chomper.

"We decided to eavesdrop after we tested out the Plant Food and attacked these zombies," said Chomper. "We understand your pain, but that doesn't mean you have to shut yourself out from everypony else. We'd be glad to be your friends forever."

"So, this is the pony who rescued you?" Potato Mine asked Cabbage-pult.

"She is."

Moondancer then came to face Twilight.

"Thank you, Twilight. I never realized how much I needed to hear that. But please don’t hurt me again.”

Twilight gave a nod, before Moondancer continued.

"Thank you for helping me make some new friends." she then turned to the others. "Can I talk to Twilight alone?"

Twilight looked at the plants, Dave, and Morning Roast. She signaled for them to give her and Moondancer their privacy. She then turned back to Moondancer, "Sure, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well," said Moondancer, "Back at school, we were very close, and I had feelings of love towards you. I admired you for your hard work and smartness, but I remember how scared I was to tell you. I was so afraid you'd reject me that I decided to have that party so that I could confess my feelings for you. I even read every book on how to reveal your crush to your best friend. But you didn't show up! Like I said earlier today, I felt like I wasn't important."

Twilight felt even worse. Moondancer had a crush on her and was going to tell her at the party?! And she never noticed at all and had chosen her studies over the party?! "I'm really sorry again, Moondancer." said the unicorn shamefully. "I should have treated you better. I even swore I had feelings for you as well, but I dismissed them over my studies."

"Twilight," said Moondancer. "Even during my anger towards you, I didn't want you dead or hurt. I heard of the news of Derpy nearly getting murdered by you, and I never believed it was you at all. I know that you would never attempt murder at all. I also knew that you came here and ended up being attacked by zombies, and I knew I had to try and help you. Why did I bring Cabbage-pult onto your lawn? I wanted you and the plant team to have more plants to help out with fighting zombies."

"Ohhh," said Twilight. "So that was why."

"Yes, and I'm planning to go and buy some more plants and bring them to your lawn." Moondancer began to consider sharing her feelings. "Twilight, I want to tell you one more thing."

"What is it?"

"Even after all this time....." Moondancer hoped Twilight would accept what she said. "I still have a crush on you. I still admire and adore you."

This surprised Twilight, considering the fact that it was coming from the same pony who had gotten upset over her not showing up at the party, but then she realized that Moondancer wanted to confess her feelings at the party and that even during her anger, she was secretly helping her and the plants with getting more defenses to stop the zombies. Moondancer may have been mad at her, but she still cared about her. Just then, a blush appeared on Twilight.

"Moondancer," said Twilight, "I, um, uh..." Moondancer was confused, until Twilight snapped. "UGH! FINE! I ADMIT IT! I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU TOO! BOTTLING MY FEELINGS UP WAS A TERRIBLE IDEA!"

Moondancer was taken aback by Twilight's rant. The purple unicorn then took some deep breaths. "I'm sorry I snapped. I shouldn't have chosen my studies over my feelings back then."

"I already forgave you, you know?" said Moondancer.

"Well," said Twilight, "since we're starting anew with our feelings to each other revealed, how about a date at a restaurant for dinner?"

"Sure, I'd like that." Moondancer responded.

And the two unicorns walked off, having made amends with each other. The plants, Dave, and Morning Roast were watching.

"My sister's got a crush!" shouted Morning Roast.

"Wabbo. I'm happy for them."

"Ew, romance!" grumbled Cherry Bomb and Single Cherry.

"Aw, let them have their moment!" said Chomper. "They just reconciled!"

"She's definitely not getting away with killing all of plantkind. Once I tell every other plant in this store, we're going to expose her plan!"
