Fight For Their Lives

Apple Jack was doing some last minute apple bucking. She collected the last of the apples and headed for the barn. Fluttershy was waiting there. " Do you need some help Apple Jack?" she asked. "Nah, thanks though Fluttershy.  Apple Jack said. She wiped her face with her hoof and put the bucket of apples down.

A peach colored pegasus came in and took the bucket of apples away. "Thanks Apple Sweet." Fluttershy said nuzzling her daughter. "Your welcome!" Apple Sweet said smiling. "That will probably do for now" AJ said. "Ya, it's getting late. I should get Apple Sweet to bed." Fluttershy said.

Granny Smith wobbled over to the two mares. "Have you two seen that there smoke in the sky?" she asked loudly. Fluttershy and AJ looked at each other in confusion. "What smoke?" AJ said walking towards the window. Fluttershy flew over. "Those are just clouds I think. But they do look like smoke" Fluttershy said. "What looks like smoke?" Apple Sweet said fluttering over to her. "Nothing, but you need to go to sleep" Fluttershy said picking Apple Sweet up. The yellow pegasus flew into a room. She came back out a few minutes later.

The barn doors swung upon. Big Macintosh came in with something in his mouth. He dropped it in front of Fluttershy. "Is that a letter?" she asked picking it up. "Eee-yup" Big Mac said nodding his head. Fluttershy quickly nuzzled him and opened the letter. Everything was silent until Fluttershy shrieked. She quickly flew over behind a few barrels. AJ picked up the letter and read it. She had an uneasy expression on her face. "Zombies?" she asked.

Pinkie Pie just got finished baking a cake for Poundcake and Pumpkincake's birthday. "There! How's that?" Pinkie said. "It looks beautiful!!" Pumpkincake cheered. "It looks alright, I guess..." Poundcake  mumbled. "You two are so cute!" Pinkie said grabbing the twins. Poundcake sighed while Pumpkincake giggled. Pinkie relased the ponies and shuddered. "Uh oh, it's my Pinkie sence" she gasped. "Something that you wouldn't expect to happen is going to happen!" "Like what?" Poundcake asked, suddenly interested in what the pink pony had to say.

Pinkie shuddered again. "I-I'm not sure!" she stuttered. "How's it going in here?" Mr. and Mrs. Cake come in after delivering several sweets. "Pinkie is having a Pinkie sence again!" Pumpkincake said bounding over to greet her parents. "Could it perhaps have somthing to do with the dark, gloomy, clouds outside?" Mrs. Cake wondered. Pinkie shuddered again then walked unsteadily towards the window.

Pinkie opened the window. A cold breeze blew into Sugar Cube Corner. "Shut the window Pinkie!" Poundcake growled. Mr. Cake silenced him with a warning glance. Pinkie was about to close the window, when a green flame drifted in. The flame turned into a letter that unraveled beside Pinkie. She gave one more shudder, than picked up the note. Her hair suddenly deflated. "I think I know why my Pinkie sence went off"

Twilight paced back and forth. She was hoping her friends got her messages. Rarity and Spike were in the library with their kids. Rainbow Dash and Soarin have arrived moments ago. She was still awaiting the arrival of AJ, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie.

"Twilight darling, please calm down" Rarity said softly. Twilight stopped and sighed. "I'm sorry Rarity, I just can't stop worring about everypony" Twilight said. She sat down and gave a heavy sigh. Sapphire flew over clumsily and nuzzled beside Twilight and said, "It's okay Aunt Twilight! I'm sure they'll be here soon!"

          As if an invisible force responded to her, the door to the library swung open. The three ponies that have been expected were standing in the doorway.

          AJ was the first to speak. "Twilight" she said,her voice full of concern. "Please tell me this isn't true"

           Twilight stood and approached  her worried friend. Her voice was barely audible. "I'm sorry AJ...... But it is true"

          Fluttershy flew over to the couch that Dash was laying on next to Soarin and layed her sleeping daughter beside Dash. Fluttershy put her hoof carefully on Applesweet's flank and whispered, " Oh Twilight, what are we going to do?"

          Rainbow flew up and said, "We need to stop this that's what we need to do."

          Soarin gently grabbed her tail and pulled her back down.

          Pinkie Pie walked and sat on a bean bag chair. She was not her usauall Pinkie self, but a gloomy Pinkie like when she was working at the rock farm as a filly. Her eyes how ever were a bit enlightened though as if she had an idea. "Couldn't we just use the Elements of Harmony again?" She suggested.

          "It's a great idea Pinkie, but I'm afraid not even the elements can save Equestria in this disaster" Twilight told her.

           "There has to be something we can do to stop this" Spike said, thinking.

            Rarity nodded in agreement.

            The ponies thought long and hard for ideas.

            Suddenly, Fluttershy gasped and pointed her hoof at a window. There, with glowing yellow eyes, was a zombie.
