At some point, the group left the kitchen, heading back for the party. Green Amaranth and Pinkie Pie were trotting towards the dance floor while the Cutie Mark Crusaders galloped away to go see Applejack with smiles on their faces as, right on Apple Bloom’s flanks, was a Cutie Mark.

Back when they were in the kitchen, they had all the ingredients for the recipe, except for Agar, which luckily, the zombie pony remembered that he had some inside of his metal box among the other stuff inside. He then showed Applejack’s little sister how to make Fruit Caviar while giving her some advice. Once it was Apple Bloom’s turn, the filly was skilled enough to be able to successfully copy everything that the zombie pony did. She was able to make Fruit Caviar from some strawberries and lemons, which all came out good. Then, Apple Bloom’s Cutie Mark appeared.

Green Amaranth smiled. “I can’t wait to see what those three are going to be like in the future. I just know that they’re going to do great things together,” he said.

She smiled. “Yeah,” agreed the party pony.

GRRRROOOOWLLLL!!

The zombie pony was surprised as his stomach started growling again, but this time, it sounded more hungry than before.

Pinkie Pie giggled. “You should eat some more food before you go dancing with Fluttershy, G.A. or else your stomach’s growling might scare her away,” she advised.

Green Amaranth nodded. “Yeah, you’re right, Pinkie. Can’t dance on an empty stomach,” he agreed.

The two changed direction and headed over to the snack table.

Few Minutes Later

GRRRRROOOOWLLLLLLLLL!!!

The zombie pony’s stomach sounded off once again, but this time was even hungrier than before, which was weird because he had eaten a ton of food a few minutes ago.

Green Amaranth was frustrated. “Oh, come on! How much do I need to eat for it to stop grumbling?!” thought the zombie pony. “Ugh. What is it I’m missing? Okay, calm down. Let’s see…Other than the stuff that ponies eat, since I’m a zompony, I need to eat what my OC eats, which is…meat.” He inwardly chuckled.“Heh. Luckily, my OC is different. Unlike other zombie ponies he can go three to four days without eating meat before that, and the last time he ate meat was…Hmm…Oh, three to four days in a side note I…made…Crap.”

Back on Earth, before Green Amaranth had ended up on Equestria, the zombie pony had made a side note about his OC. It was to remind himself to start the beginning of Chapter 1 of the story three to four days after he had last eaten meat. There was going to be a big problem soon if Green Amaranth didn’t eat.

The party pony was concerned as she noticed that the zombie pony’s facial expressions had changed a lot until it had landed on dread. “Are you feeling okay, G.A.? Is there something wrong?” asked Pinkie Pie.

The problem was that they needed to eat meat soon, and fast.

The zombie pony saw the party pony’s concerned look. “Well..” he said.

Green Amaranth was planning on telling her a lie, but then he was interrupted as the apple pony herself had trotted up to them.

Applejack looked like she didn’t want to be around the zombie pony but had no choice. “Hi, y’all,” greeted the apple pony.

“Hi, Applejack,” greeted Green Amaranth and Pinkie Pie.

GRRRRROOOOWLLLLLLLLL!!!

The sound surprised her. “What in tarnation was that sound?! It sounded awfully close to us!” asked Applejack.

“Don’t worry, Applejack. That was just G.A.’s stomach,” reassured the party pony. “That’s the third time it growled today, and he just ate a few minutes ago.”

The apple pony looked at him. “Ya should eat more if you’re still hungry,” she advised.

The zombie pony frowned, and then gave them a sigh. “Like I was just about to tell Pinkie Pie, I’m fi-” said Green Amaranth.

GRRRRROOOOWLLLLLLLLL!!!

They both looked at him with disbelieving looks.

“Are ya sure you’re ‘fine’, G.A.?” questioned Applejack,. The apple pony did some hoofquotes when she had said ‘fine’.

The zombie pony sighed again. “Yes, Applejack. I’m fi-” said Green Amaranth, interrupted again.

GRRRRROOOOWLLLLLLLLL!!!

He was starting to get annoyed. “I’m fi-” said the zombie pony, interrupted again.

GRRRRROOOOWLLLLLLLLL!!!

Green Amaranth was silent for a few seconds, waiting for it to growl again. When it didn’t, he decided to continue again. “...I’m fi-” said the zombie pony, interrupted once more.

GRRRRROOOOWLLLLLLLLL!!!

Green Amaranth had a frustrated look on his face. “Fine! I’m hungry for some…Meat, okay?” the zombie pony informed. He had whispered the ‘meat’ part so that nearby ponies wouldn't hear him say that. “Eating regular food is good and all, but zombies need to eat meat. Unlike other zombies, I can last four to five days without eating the stuff, but today’s the…I don’t know, fourth or fifth day. Right now, I’m starving and suffering. And I’m not the only one. Happy?”

Pinkie Pie looked at Green Amaranth all concerned, while Applejack looked scared, but slightly concerned.

The zombie pony, ignoring their looks, continued. “Look, all I need to do is eat some meat, any kind will do. I won’t eat ponies or creatures from other races unless they’re bad or deserve it,” he informed, serious tone. “So, that leaves the animals that live in the forest. If I hunt enough of them, my hunger will be sated.”

She decided to bring up the few problems that were wrong with Green Amaranth’s plan. “I don’t know if ya noticed, but it's night time. Some of the animals would be asleep by now,” the apple pony pointed out. “You’d have a harder time huntin’ the animals that roam durin’ the night than the ones that are out durin’ in the day. Also, you’d have to deal with the Timber Wolves, too.”

He didn’t know whether to yell at Applejack or go hunt some animals to prove her wrong, but decided on neither. Nopony noticed that Green Amaranth’s eyes and hooves were glowing as the zombie pony was doing it subconsciously. After a few seconds, the glow disappeared.

He had an almost calm look on his face. “Well, then YOU think of something on how I can obtain it within a few hours if YOU think it’s SO EASY,” the zombie pony retorted aggressively. “ I’m going to go dance with Fluttershy and forget about my problems right now.”

Green Amaranth left before either one of them could say anything, grumbling ‘Don’t even know what it’s like to be in our position’. He then began to look around for Fluttershy, but was approached by an unknown pony instead.

The pony smiled. “Hello there, my name’s Swift Bolt! What’s yours?” they asked.

He was surprised with how friendly Swift Bolt was towards the zombie pony despite them never meeting before, and Green Amaranth knows this because he has memorized every pony that the zombie pony has met and befriended thanks to the party pony. So, it’s suspicious how a pony that Green Amaranth has never met before approached him while ignoring the vibes the zombie pony and Carrie were emitting.

He decided to be on guard, but also be friendly too since that’d be rude. Green Amaranth held out a hoof. “Hello there, Swift Bolt. My name’s Green Amaranth, but you can call me G.A., while the one on my head is my pet bunny, Carrie,” the zombie pony introduced.

Swift Bolt shook hooves with Green Amaranth.

They then looked up at the zombie bunny that was sitting on top of the zombie pony’s head. The pony thought that she looked cute. “Aww, how cute! Can I pet her?” asked Swift Bolt.

“I wouldn't do that if I were you. Carrie doesn’t let anypony else pet her, except for me,” he warned, serious tone. “She will bite if you try to do that.”

Back when Pinkie Pie was giving Green Amaranth a tour around the town, while introducing the zombie pony to other ponies, there were ponies who wanted and tried to pet Carrie because she looked cute. The zombie bunny didn’t like that and hissed at the ponies before they could even lay a hoof on her. Those ponies learned to keep their hooves to themselves when it involved Carrie.

They looked disappointed. “Aww,” said the pony. Swift Bolt then started smiling and decided to change the subject. “I have two things I want to say to you.”

He raised an eyebrow, slightly confused. “O-kay?” said Green Amaranth.

“One, welcome to Ponyville…” said the pony, who then paused.

The zombie pony smiled. “Thanks,” he said.

Swift Bolt waved a hoof. “No problem, and two, want to become friends?” they asked.

Green Amaranth thought about it. This pony, who the zombie pony doesn’t know, wants to become friends with him.

“If I become friends with them, then I’d be able to make another friend in Ponyville. Though, they might be up to something seeing as how they’re unaffected by my and Carrie’s vibes,” he thought. “But if I don’t, then it’d make me look like a jerk to them, and I don’t want that.”

In the end, the zombie pony made a decision. Green Amaranth smiled. “Sure. I’d love to be friends with you, Swift Bolt,” he informed.

Swift Bolt smiled. Then, the party pony showed up by herself, smiling.

“Hey there, G.A.! Are you gonna introduce me to your friend?” she asked. “Looks like he calmed down. I guess he calmed down about the whole meat thing.”

Green Amaranth turned towards Pinkie Pie. “Oh. Pinkie, meet my newest friend, Swift Bolt,” the zombie pony introduced. “Swift Bolt, I know that you know Pinkie.”

They nodded. “Yeah. She gave me a birthday party a few months ago, and it was awesome by the way,” Swift Bolt informed.

“It was nothing. Just me doing my job as Ponyville’s Party Pony,” she boasted humorously.

The pony laughed for a few seconds before they suddenly frowned and looked sad, which confused Green Amaranth and the party pony.

“G.A., if I was ever in trouble, or if I ever asked for your help, would you help me?” asked Swift Bolt.

He nodded. “Of course I would. We’re friends after all,” the zombie pony informed.

The pony only smiled in response, then trotted away. That only made the two concerned about them.

Green Amaranth sighed. “I’ve got to apologize to her. I said something mean to one of her friends out of hunger,” he said. “I’m sorry about what I said to Applejack, Pinkie. It’s just that we have a time limit before something bad happens if I don’t eat some meat soon, and I don’t want to hurt anyone or anypony.”

She smiled at the apology. “It’s okay, G.A. I forgive you, but you're going to have to apologize to AJ too,” said Pinkie Pie. “Also, I’ll help you out. After all, that’s what friends are for.”

The zombie pony nodded while smiling. He then, with the party pony’s help, went to go look for where the shy pony was. Green Amaranth did owe her a dance after all.

Meanwhile - The Everfree Forest

Everything was calm and peaceful in the Everfree Forest as it could be until the ground started rumbling. A stone hand covered in moss emerged from the ground, throwing dead tree branches and leaves aside.

Some Time Later

The zombie pony had danced with Fluttershy, including Pinkie Pie too, for a while and was now having a friendly chat with Lyra and Bon Bon. He wanted to know if this universe’s lyre mare knew about humans or not. If she does, then that means that this Lyra had to be crazy about humans. When Green Amaranth had approached them for the first time, the pair’s vibes, looks, and smell were scaring the two. Well, scaring the lyre mare while making Bon Bon defensive. With the party pony’s help, the situation was defused.

“If you’re ever in Bon Bon’s part of town, you should try out some of the candy from her candy store! They’re pretty sweet,” Lyra suggested. “Right, Bon Bon?”

The candy maker smiled. “I don’t know anything about that, but yeah. I’ve been working with sweets ever since I was a filly,” she explained. “I then later opened up my own candy store after saving up enough Bits over the years. My little sister Twist helps me out around the candy store sometimes after school and over the weekend.”

Well, he might visit the candy store one day in the future. “Sounds like an interesting place to be at,” said Green Amaranth. The zombie pony looked at Pinkie Pie before looking at Bon Bon, smirking. “By the way, Bon Bon. Can you make candy that represent both Pinkie Pie and her personality?”

When he had asked that question, it only confused the two mares, but made the party pony blush.

The candy maker tilted her head. “I could? What flavors would you want?” she asked.

“Well, it’d have her colors, her Cutie Mark, and the flavor that represents her personality would either be cupcakes or cotton candy,” the zombie pony described. “The reason is that she’s sweet, just like them.”

The lyre mare and Bon Bon let out an ‘aww’ in response. As for Pinkie Pie, if they were hosting the party outside, she would’ve dug a hole to escape from the compliments that Green Amaranth was giving her. The party pony inwardly wished something would happen to change the subject, anything at all before her face ended up redder than the Apple Family’s apples.

“So where are you from, G.A.?” asked the candy maker.

He had expected for somepony to ask where the zombie pony was from. So, Green Amaranth’s been thinking up names for towns and cities all day. “I’m from a town far outside of Equestria’s borders. It’s known as ‘Chompinbit’,” he lied.

“What’s Chompinbit like, darling?” asked a female voice.

They all turned to see that the voice belonged to Rarity, who was sporting an interesting-looking bracelet. Along with her was Twilight Sparkle and the shy pony.

The zombie pony decided to quickly make up a fake history about the fake town. “Oh. Well, Chompinbit’s a pretty nice town full of nice ponies,” Green Amaranth informed. “It, just like the other two towns, ‘Sunnyglade’ and ‘Old Fencetown’, were all founded about the same time on the same day more than a 1000 years ago by ponies who hated Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The ones who had started the whole thing had decided one day that they had enough of the princesses’ rule. So, they had gotten their family, packed up, recruited other ponies from their town who felt the same way, including other ponies from other places too during their journey, bought tons of supplies and materials for the town itself, and left Equestria forever. Even after many years have passed by, all the ponies in all of the towns still hate the princesses. That’s the history.”

He stopped to pet Carrie on top of the head. The zombie pony didn’t notice the six mares’ shocked looks.

“So, Chompinbit. There’s a bit more unicorns and earth ponies than pegasi, but we all get along well,” continued Green Amaranth. “We have lots of stuff that the pony towns in Equestria don't have that don’t exist anywhere else. Also, everypony from all of the towns not only eat the same things as other ponies eat here in Equestria, but we also eat meat from cows, chickens, pigs, fish, etc., but we don’t eat ponies if that’s what you’re thinking. We're not cannibals, and…that’s all I guess.”

The six mares were shocked. That the ponies who founded the three towns hated the princesses and decided to move out of Equestria just to get away from them. Not only that, but, even after so much time has passed by, the ponies there still hated the princesses. Also, the ponies of the town eat meat too.

“Wow, I can’t believe I thought up something that good. I should write stories as a side job one day,” he thought. “Well, I’m going to hand this conversation off to you all and go and get myself some refreshments. See ya.”

Before the zombie pony walked away, he saw Lyra’s shocked expression, confirming that she did in fact know about humans. Green Amaranth inwardly smirked. The zombie pony made it to the refreshment table and poured himself a cup of punch.

GRRRRROOOOWLLLLLLLLL!!!

Green Amaranth was frustrated. “Ugh. So hungry,” he groaned. The zombie pony looked up. “How are you doing there, Carrie?”

She was twitching. “So hungry. Need some more food,” said the zombie bunny.

GRRRRROOOOWLLLLLLLLL!!!

Apparently, just like him, Carrie was hungry for some meat too. She’s currently keeping herself in control like Green Amaranth is.

The zombie pony was worried. “Even she’s hungry too. We both need to eat some meat soon or else there will be some deaths here in this town,” he thought. “Huh?”

In the corner of Green Amaranth’s eye, he saw the Mane Six, plus Spike, heading for the entryway. It seems that they were planning on talking about something outside in private.

It looked interesting to the zombie pony. “Looks like they’re going to have an important talk about something. It’s probably about what I told some of them about ‘Chompinbit’,” thought Green Amaranth. “If it is, then I’d better go and see what they think about it.”

He headed for the back door, but then the zombie pony encountered Mr. and Mrs. Cake, who he saw was pregnant.

“Interesting. From the looks of it, it seems that there are only a few months left until it’s time for the Cake Twins to be born,” thought Green Amaranth. “So, that means that I’ve appeared somewhere after Spike’s Birthday episode on Season 2. Unfortunately, I don’t know which episode I arrived on or before.” The zombie pony decided to stop thinking and start talking before he misses the group’s conversation. “I came to let you two know that I’m going to go check out the Basement for a while, Mr. and Mrs. Cake.”

“Okay. Do you need any help looking for it?” asked Carrot Cake. “I can help you if you want to.”

Green Amaranth shook his head. “No, thanks. I can find it on my own,” said the zombie pony. “Thanks anyway. For the help, for letting us stay over here temporarily, and for allowing Pinkie to host the party inside of the bakery, I mean. You two are great ponies.” He was sincere since Green Amaranth really thought the two were nice.

The married couple smiled at the zombie pony’s compliment.

“It was nothing. Now, don’t let us keep you,” said Cup Cake. “Let us know if you do need help though. Also, we’ll discuss your rent after the party is over.”

Green Amaranth nodded in agreement since he is technically renting out their Basement.

“Okay. I will,” confirmed the zombie pony.

Green Amaranth then headed for the kitchen. Once he was out of the couple’s sight, the zombie pony quickly headed for the back door. After going around the side quietly, Green Amaranth saw that the group had already started their conversation. Some of the girls were arguing about something while the dragon kid was trying to calm them down.

He was getting annoyed. “For the love of-Stop arguing so I can hear everyone talk clearly!” thought the zombie pony. Green Amaranth then saw something amongst them. “What is that?”

There was something floating in Rarity’s magic. It was medium-sized, rectangular in shape, blue-colored, and one of those straps attached. For some strange reason, it looked familiar to him. In fact, it looked way too familiar.

Green Amaranth then realized what it was. “Wait. Is that…my phone?!” thought the zombie pony.

Apparently, it seems that his cell phone was in the Mane Six’s custody, which was bad since it had a lot of important stuff on it.

“Oh, man. I need to get it back before they accidentally break it,” thought Green Amaranth. “But how?”

Author's Note

There was supposed to be a scene where G.A. teaches Apple Bloom one of the recipes, which was Fruit Caviar. The reason is that I just felt like it'd be a waste of time explaining what happened and the process to make the Fruit Caviar.

Fruit Caviar is something I found out about on YouTube a few years ago. You can watch videos about people making Fruit Caviar and other stuff involving Molecular Gastronomy.

Apple Bloom's Cutie Mark was drawn by Jet_Black1980. They were also the one who suggested the names of the towns.

He really likes messing with Pinkie Pie because he likes her.

The next chapter will definitely have gore in it. No doubt about it.

The Psychopath proofread this chapter.
