Pinkie Pie's POV

Pinkie Pie’s POV

“one TWO IM COMING FOR YOUUU!” I sang fretfully as I smashed my hammer into the skull in one of the approaching walkers.

“THREE FOUR WE BETTER LOCK OUR DOORS!” I added, swinging my hammer and smashing the leg of another creature.

“FIVE, SIX, WE SHOULD … Eat some twix?” I paused for a moment, wondering what should be added to my song.

“PINKIE PIE LOOK OUT!” Dashie screamed from behind. I turned and looked at her, but she was already flying at me at full speed.

“DUCK!” she cried. I did. She crashed into one of the walkers, and pierced its skull.

“Dash! Quick close the door!” Twilight cried. But before Rainbow Dash could’ve gotten there, Twilight teleported over and slammed the door shut, and it made an unsettling ‘thud’ as it crashed shut. There was an eerie silence between the nine of us.

“Well, I’m glad that’s over!” I chirped. The tired ponies casted wary glances my way.

Twilight continued on, TOTALLY ignoring me! Like, how rude!

“We must get rid of the unessesariy material if we want to be settled in just fine” Twilight said after a moment. We cleared most of the items, except for food, and while the other ponies were being all so boring, I was skipping and singing, and trying to lighten the mood. Except when ponies are sad, I get sad, and then everyone’s sad, and when everyone’s sad, its extremely sad so my hair deflated and even though I didn’t want to because I didn’t wanna be sad BUT STILL IT MEANS IM SAD BUT I DON’T WANNA BE SAD!!

But finally we cleared the house.

Rainbow Dash is going out to scour the city for more residents that are still living. Twilight also looks pretty worried. What could be bothering her? I mean, she’s awesome! I trotted over.

“Yo Twilight bro! What’s uuup?” I asked her. She looked down.

“Spike’s missing” She said. I gasped. Spike! How could I not notice him gone!? Twilight kicked one of the corpses feebly.

“And I don’t know what I’m going to do without him” She whispered. I pushed the corpse outside so she wouldn’t kick it anymore. “I’m sure Dashie will find him” I put a comforting hoof on her shoulder. She glanced up at me with tears in her eyes.

“Thanks” She forced a smile before looking away from me. I noticed Sweetie Belle and Applebloom looking at us sadly.

“Ah sure hope he turns up” Applebloom said quietly before the two went over to join Scootaloo on the top floor.

Knocking on the door caused us to look up.

With Twilight’s magic, she opened the door and Rainbow Dash flew in, her saddle bag filled with many goods. I smelled something sweet. CANDY!

“RAINBOW DASHIE YOU BROUGHT CANDYYYYY!” I screeched, jumping over to her and knocking her out of the air. She let out a cry before falling over, and some sweet goods flowed out of her bag. Caramels!

I quickly lapped up the goods and felt my deflated hair poof right up again. I giggled in delight. Rainbow Dash casted me a glare.

“Hey! Those were for everyone you greedy cow!” Rainbow Dash snarled. Greedy cow? greedy cow!?! I felt my hair deflate once more, and sadness well up in my heart.

“I’m sorry” I squeaked. Rainbow Dash threw me one more menacing glare before flying upstairs to join the other girls.

Twilight glared at me.

“Don’t be so selfish next time” She said sternly before following Dashie upstairs, leaving me by myself in the ruined floor.

I blew some strands of mane out of my face.

“Why do I always mess up?” I said out loud.

“Why is it always me who’s impulsive and hyper?”

Tears flowed down my cheeks sadly.

“Why me?”
