Canterlot Overdrive!!!!

Like every story that begins in the apocalypse, it all started with a normal day in Canterlot City. I, as was common in my life, was playing video games in my apartment. I know, it was nothing productive, but it was summer vacation, all my friends had something to do, like Applejack in her stable, Pinkie in her bakery, Rarity in her boutique, Fluttershy at the vet's, Rainbow was training with the Wondercolts, and Twilight was working in her lab. I felt like a good-for-nothing, being the only one who had nothing to do. So, in order not to feel so miserable, I opted to take a job as a janitor at a special concert that night. That concert was the presentation of a new drink by the company Fizzco. The energy drink, OverCharge Delirium XT, FizzCo. For a reason unknown to me, FizzCo decided to launch the drink exclusively in Canterlot City. And as you may know... It didn't go so well.

While I was still playing, my phone next to me started ringing, so I picked it up to see who it was, it was my great and beautiful friend Twilight Sparkle, so I quickly answered "Hello Twi" I answered happily.

"Hi Sunset, how are you?" She asked me kindly

"Good, you know, how are you?"

"Oh, I'm fine too, thanks for asking."

For a moment, there was an awkward silence, so I decided to break it "So...what's with the phone call? Don't take it the wrong way, I love it when you call me."

"Oh...Th-that's right, the call, heh heh" she said apologetically through the phone, which caused me to let out a small smile at how adorable she sounded "Well, I was just talking to you to see if you'd like to join me and Timber at the concert FizzCo is hosting tonight here in Canterlot City.... I heard it would be a big deal to promote their new drink."

At that moment, my smile faded from my face because of what I heard, Timber....A few moments later, I decided to force a smile "Sounds...Great, but, I have work that night, so I won't be able to attend with you, I'm so sorry..."

"Oh, I understand. You must attend to your responsibilities before your fun" She commented to me.

"Thank you for understanding...Besides, I think you two could use some alone time..." I joked with a somewhat mischievous tone. I could have sworn his face turned like a tomato at that moment.

"D-don't get your hopes up. I'd better leave you to what you were doing, take care."

I let out a small laugh so I could say goodbye "Bye".

With that said, I hung up the phone. What? You don't need to be James Bond to know that I really liked her, even if I didn't want to accept it at the time. But now knowing that I wasted a great opportunity to be with Twilight made me a little sad, and even sadder knowing that she would be with Timber ..... That guy...he can't even go ten seconds without looking at himself in a mirror!

I glanced sideways at my watch...five thirty in the afternoon. Well, I guess it was time to start getting ready for my new job...How I wish now that I hadn't taken it....

The long awaited night had arrived. The FizzCo concert had started, people were running around trying to find their place in the crowd, while those who were already inside were jumping and dancing to the music. Yep, it all looked so cool, too bad I had to pick up the trash.

Inside that concert, I, in my FizzCo uniform, was picking up all the empty OverCharge cans I could find on the floor and putting them in my trash cart, while with disappointment, I watched everyone having fun.

Just above the stage, a man with a huge mohawk on his head came in front of a microphone so he could speak, but not before slapping one of the girls who were cheering the concert on the buttocks. What a disgusting guy

"On behalf of FizzCo, I want to say that we are very happy to be able to share our new energy drink with the rest of the world in a few weeks" People started to celebrate for what that guy had said...Poor devils "But tonight, the ones that matter are you Canterlot City! You'll be the first in the whole world to get a taste of..... OverCharge!"

With that said, all the people around started grabbing a bunch of cans of OverCharge and just drank like crazy. Me being the janitor, I just walked around the place and waited for everyone to throw the empty cans into my trash cart. The more I walked, the more people started to push me as if they didn't notice me, or as if I was simply invisible to everyone's sight, while I watched as all the people drank their energy drink and had fun.

I got to a spot away from the crowd and pushed the cart out of sight. Then I leaned against a wall near me and looked up at the sky... At that moment I thought... What should I do with my life?

"Wow, I didn't know this was your job" I heard a very familiar female voice near me, I turned to my right and managed to see that not far from me was Twilight Sparkle. She was holding two cans of OverCharge in her hands.

I smiled slightly at her and looked down at the ground "I didn't want you to know my job."

She, with a smile, approached me and offered me one of the cans, I gladly accepted it "You shouldn't be ashamed...After all, it's a very admirable thing for you to work like this..."

I let out a small laugh "Thank you...By the way, weren't you coming with Timber?" I asked curiously as Twilight was alone at a huge concert.

"Yes, but he's in the bathroom right now, so I'm waiting for him" She answered me

"And how did you know where he was?"

"Well, I saw you walk by collecting all the cans of OverCharge, that's when I decided to bring you one, I knew you hadn't tried any because you were working."

Gosh! They are so kind and caring.... At that moment, I smiled "Thank you for taking care of me" At that moment, I decided to open the OverCharge can.

She repeated the same action "That's what friends are for" At that moment, we both clinked the cans and immediately, we started to ingest its contents. Really, it was too delicious, the orange gives it a very nice touch.

"H-help P-please!" We both heard a male voice approaching towards us, when we turned to see what was happening, we saw that it was Timber, who was holding his stomach in pain

"Timber!" Twilight quickly approached Timber and grabbed him between his shoulders "What's happening to you?!"

Twilight received no answer, but at that moment, I watched in disgust as Timber began to vomit some kind of orange colored liquid all over Twilight. She reflexively pushed the boy making them both fall on the ground, I approached Twilight to help her, but at that moment, what happened next, left us terrified....

Timber began to roll on the ground, but at the same time, his skin began to blister as he continued to vomit. After that, his body began to increase in size and his teeth were replaced by fangs.

As Timber's body continued to mutate, I looked to my side to observe a barrette, so I grabbed it and quickly stepped in front of Twilight, who didn't move because she was still in Shock.

"D-don't come any closer. Or I swear I'll use this!" Without receiving an answer, I watched as Timber had completely mutated into a gray eyeless monster full of orange blisters.

As if that wasn't enough, a holeada more monsters arrived behind the one who used to be Timber.

Knowing with what intentions those monsters were coming, I stepped back a bit and grabbed Twilight by her arm to try to pull her away "Twilight! We have to go!!!" At that instant, Twilight managed to come out of her state and started running along with me, to try to avoid death.

To be continued...
