Twilight Sparkle's Outbreak Journal: Day 1 (28th day of the outbreak)
To whoever might find this journal, my name is Twilight Sparkle, i an currently surviving this... plague... with a small group. All of my friends are still alive, their names are: AppleJack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. Several others in the group are the fillies: Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle. The rest of the ponies in the group are: Bon Bon, Colgate, and a pony I've never met before, Meteora.
We have recently been forced out of Ponyville due to the 'infected' overwhelming us at Sugarcube Corner, unfortunately Mr. Carrot Cake and Mrs. Cup Cake were... taken by the infected. Pinkie tried to search for Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake, but they couldn't be found. AppleJack and I had to assure her that they were okay, that they had somehow escaped the fate that had befallen their parents. I honestly hope that Pinkie isn't naive enough to believe that they actually escaped, that Pinkie realized that her searching for the children only put the rest of the group in danger.
As I write this I only miss Spike more, I wonder if the disease can affect dragons. If their hide is thick enough that a scratch wouldn't kill. If their bodies are strong enough that they wouldn't come back. If he could have hidden himself somewhere, secreted himself away, found safety in the Dragon Kingdom. I have heard that the Griffon Kingdom has already fallen to the disease, the plague. I wonder if Rainbow Dash's thoughts linger on Gilda as mine linger on Spike.
We have to find a shelter from this madness. A place far away from the disease. Perhaps a secluded village. Or a hidden farm. I can only hope that we may find such a place before one of our group is taken. I don't believe that any of us could bear to see another friend go. Well, I doubt that any of us could bear to see another pony, griffon, or dragon go. To feel that deep, painful loss of an individual that you knew or loved.
I- I can't force myself to write any more today.
Twilight Sparkle, Survivor of the Outbreak
