Just an Old Ponytale...
Chapter 11-
"Why can't you just accept the fact the you CAN'T do anything about it!?" she screamed at Twilight.
"The generator is just around this building." Twilight said as she rounded the corner. She stopped, frozen in either fear or shock, by the sight of the numbers around the generator. She almost tripped as she scrambled back behind the building, holding her chest as she breathed heavy breaths. "Oh dear Celestia, that was a close one." she whispered under her breath. As she was still recovering from the fright, she felt a tap on her shoulder.
Twilight about went into a complete frantic as she almost jumped from her skin, and let out a small shriek of terror. "Oh silly, it's only me." She turned, in complete dismay, when she saw the giggling face of her pink party friend, Pinkie Pie.
"Pinkie Pie?!" Twilight gasped in both joy and confusion of seeing her happy-go-lucky friend standing there, laughing at the episode just had. Twilight's brain couldn't concept what she was seeing. There stood her friend, the very one who had knocked her out with a frying pan, who was laughing at her like she had no care in the world about the zombies that lurked just around the corner. She had known that she would be alright, but to actually witness it was something else. "Is... it really you?" she asked as to make sure that her mind was not plaing tricks on her. Pinkie had a slightly perplexed look across her face.
"Why of course it is, you silly filly. Who else would I be? Oh, I know, I could be Rarity!" Pinkie proceeded to act out her overly-dramatic friend, mocking her voice and playing her role of the "woe is me" that she performed on a constant basis. If it was on better circumstances, Twilight would have laughed and giggled, maybe even played along, but there was no time.
"Pinkie!" she said in a soft whisper, refraining from a chuckle as Pinkie held a hoof on her forhead and said Rarity's famous 'Worst thing ever!' bit. "What are you doing here?" The party pony seemed confused.
"Pinkie? Pinkie's not here. I'm Rarity." she mocked, keeping in character. Twilight was getting rather agrivated now.
"PINKIE!" the party pony set her hoof back to the ground and gave a slightly concerned look to Twilight.
"Aw, what's wrong Twilight?" the lavender unicorn was still shocked to see her friend, even more to see her so happy, but the question struck her with so much astonishment that she was lost in thought, more so in words.
"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG!? What do you mean 'what's wrong'? Pinkie, have you forgotten where we are and what's going on? We are in the middle of a zombie infested city and you're just as happy as can be, treating the situation with absolutely no regard, and you're asking me 'what's wrong'?" Twilight wasn't angry. She was more along the lines of so distraught that she has to point out the obvious just to make sure that what was happening was actually happening. Pinkie gave a huge simle and laughed at Twilight's dumbstruck face.
"Oh, oh my! You- you should see your face!" she laughed, rolling on the ground in front of her even more confused friend. Pinkie sat up after a minute or two of continuous laughing and brushed herself off. "Oh Twilight, you're such a card. Don't worry silly, you know about my pinkie senses, right? Well, strangest thing. I know that I have a sense for everything, except for things that have never happened to me before. Well, after being out here for five days, my body has developed a whole new sense if zombies are coming." Pinkie held up a hoof. "Allow me to demonstrate." She held the hoof to her mouth and began to whistle loudly. Twilight's eyes shot wide and as tackled her friend to the ground.
"PINKIE! What are you doing!?"
"Whistling silly. How else am I going to attract the meanies?"
"WE DON'T WANT TO ATTRACT THEM!" Twilight shouted into Pinkie's face. Pinkie started to tear up.
"Twilight... why are you treating me like this?" Twilight stared at Pinkie, her mind now wiped of all rationalism by how Pinkie was so... Pinkie.
"This- you- I-" Twilight couldn't think of the words to say. She got up from Pinkie and set a hoof to the side of her head, as to think of what was going on. She calmed herself, composing her thoughts. "Pinkie... just tell me why you're here. That's all I want to know now."
"Oh, is that all? I was just wandering through the streets when I saw you and decided that I would see you before those meanie monsters got either of us before we had another chance to meet." Twilight could comprehend this.
'I mean, it's Pinkie.' Twilight thought to herself. 'Why would I expect anything less?' She turned around and placed her body against the buildings edge, looking back down the the path she had almost blatenly ran down without checking. Pinkie was right behind her, looking right across her shoulders.
"What are we doing here Twilight?" the still ecstatic Pinkie Pie asked, nudging Twilight's side. "Are we going to that big metal thing that all those meanies are gnawing at?" Twilight almost wanted to laugh at the fact that they were, and that they were getting shocked as a result.
"No. WE are not going. You're going to stay here and keep look out for Rarity. If I know her, she'll probably try to climb down from the roof to get here." Pinkie glanced at Twilight.
"Rarity will do what now?" Twilight quickly realized what she had said.
"Nothing. Just keep a look out for anypony or "infected" that may try to sneak up on us." Twilight then looked to the roof of a structure across the street and focused her magic to teleport.
FLASH
Twilight looked below to see Pinkie Pie keeping guard just like a soldier protecting a escorted VIP, pacing back and forth with the most concentrated facial expression she could pull. "Oh Pinkie..." Twilight said. She turned to look at the generator and all the zombies who were attracted to it by its soft, luminescent glow, quickly but carefully planning her course of action, when she saw Pinkie giving off some strnge body motion from the corner of her eye. She turned and saw her friends legs and left eye twitching while her tail poofed in the rain while her mane remained flat. After convulsing for a few moments, Pinkie looked at Twilight and waved a hoof to signal that THAT was her sense.
Twilight didn't know what to tell or signal back. She looked inside the building Pinkie was beside through a window and saw an "infected" scapping at the other side of wall her friend was beside. Twilight threw her hooves in the air and tried to signal her friend to move, to get away. Pinkie peered through the rain and tried to make out what she was trying to tell her. She stepped from behind the corner, exposing herself to the mob at the generator only thirty hooves away. Twilight screamed through the rain. "Pinkie! Look out!" Her friend was late to respond though as the zombie broke through the wall just behind her friend.
Pinkie turned and saw the monster. She jumped maybe ten hooves in the air and took off in the direction of the generator without looking. She ran only a second before she realized what she had done. The mob stopped biteing the generator and turned their attention to the pink party mare that stood there in fear. Twilight had twenty thoughts running in her mind at the same time, causing a great headache from all the thinking she has been doing regardless.
"PINKIE! RUN!" Twilight yelled. Her friend took the hint and dashed back, careful to dodge the zombie that was right behind her. She yelled back to Twilight as she disappeared into the distance.
"I'll distract them Twilight! Go do what you need to do! We shall meet once more! Pinkie promise!" She vanished into the haze of rain as the group followed close behind.
Twilight seemed comforted by her words. "I know we will Pinkie." she said with a soft tone. "I know we will..."
