I said as Sydney looked over to me, some tears in her eyes as I expected. To be like completely honest, I felt some emotional tears as well. "I would have been calling Applebloom a blank-flank for moons if you and Miles didn't show up on that hill top. So, you did save the ones you...care about? I think." I said as me and Diamond hugged for a brief moment. "Thanks Diamond. I...I needed another friend to say that for once." Sydney said as the tears in her eyes, while still visible, began to vanish from her eyelids as a slight smile appeared on her face. "Uh...I don't mean to like, break up a happy sister moment but we need to get out of here since it's getting worse outside." Silver said in a panicked, yet sincere voice. The three of us looked out the window yet again in shock. To be honest, it feels like every minute has more bad news to share. What the three of us saw wasn't pretty as you can expect. Now remember how I glitched somewhere in this story? Yes? Well as of this moment, I wasn't the only pony that glitched. I saw a pony who I recognized her from the Ponyville post office. She was all grey with a yellow mane and tail and her cutie mark was some bubbles. While she was delivering something, her main then began to glitch and before you know it, she was on the ground and you get the picture. "It's spreading..." Sydney said with fear in her voice. "We need to stop this before this glitch spreads farther beyond Ponyville, or even Equestria as a whole." I said in response. "Agreed. Should this be a good time to jump down that balcony?" Sliver asked. "I think so." I responded as we quickly made our way to the stairs. Just then, I felt something grab my tail as whatever caught me locked me inplace. "W̵̭̐̇̕ḧ̵̫͓̤́͊͝͠é̵̩͇̖͈̌͗͝r̷̟̱̬̞̐̿͝ẻ̵̡̥̠̜̓ ̵̬̖̍͋͐͜a̵̼͈͋̀r̵̦̉́͜e̴̡͓̮͌̕̚ͅ ̵̘̦̞̒̏̉y̸̞̼͆̋̚ő̸͎̅̽͝ũ̶̢̦͍̟͘ ̵̙͕͙̆ͅg̶̞̭̑͊̂̌ò̶̫i̸̛̩̪̐̏ņ̸͍̘̫͊͊g̵̺͙̓̂̓?̸̭̐͒̋ ̴̗̼̽͊̀̄" A very scary voice said from behind me. I turned around slowly to find Miles or Summit as I should say, holding my and Sydney's tails still. "To fix you and this world." Sydney said in a very soft voice.

To be honest, he didn't sound like Miles from a few hours ago, he sounded more like a villain witch shook me to my core. I knew it wasn't right but I think me and Sydney knew what we needed to do. "I'm sorry...Summit." Sydney and I said as we held out our back legs and kicked Summit straight in the face, causing him to let go of our tails and tumble down the stairs to the floor. "I'm surprised that even worked." Sydney said as we both caught our breaths. "Same, now let's just get to that door." I said as the three of us rushed down the empty hallway until we reached my bedroom door. Just as I thought, the three of us headed into my room, found the door to the balcony that overlooked the backyard and devised a plan. I decided to jump first and after a few moments, I jumped and landed in the bushes next to the wall. Sydney then jumped and landed in the same place as me. "Clear the way!" Sliver said as I noticed something odd. She wasn't the only pony on the balcony. "Sliver!" I shouted as I tried to tell her to jump now. She had her two front hoofs past the rails but that was as far as she got when the figure pulled her back. "Sliver!" Me and Sydney said as the figure revealed himself. "Going somewhere?" My daddy said as he pushed Sliver behind him. "How did you even-?" Sydney asked as my daddy gave a soft smile. "I may not have been in the same room but I still heard everything you four were saying." My daddy said with a soft and quiet voice. "Let her go now daddy!" I said in a tone I rarely use with my father, well mostly before today that is. "Can't you see that the world is falling apart? Can't you see that you're not going to win if this world is glitching all over the place?" "It's nothing but collateral damage to me. Besides, didn't you even noticed what happened to Summit when he forgot his memories?" My daddy asked with a smile on his face. "He lost who he really is. He lost his personality because of you!" Sydney said in a very angry voice. "Wrong! He stopped glitching. Therefor, he's one with this world now. Brainwashed in this world even." Daddy said as his face turned away from the two of us. "So why hasn't the glitching stopped?" I asked. "Because Sydney here still has some of her memories...for now..." Daddy said. Just then, there was a noise in the bushes, as if a bunny was in them or something. The three of us looked over and saw Sliver with a key in her right hoof. "What? My key!" Filthy said in a panicked voice as he looked all over for the key that Sliver had. "He'll have a hard time getting out now." Sliver said as me and Sydney rushed over to her. "Sliver! Are you ok?" Me and Sydney asked as we helped Sliver get out from the bushes. "I'm fine...though the leaves in my mane are starting to grow on me." Sliver said. "There's no time...we need to go back to my mansion. Maybe that will help somehow since I was in there when me and Miles got sent here." Sydney said. "Good idea. Lets go." I said as the three of us galloped away as fast as we could. "That's IT. It seems as if Sydney's going to be much harder to convince compared to that idiot of a pony. It seems as if I have to take matters into my own hooves this time. I hate to do this to my own daughters and there friend but it's the only way to change their minds. Guess I have to fight glitches with glitches."
