Day 10-11, Friend Or Foe?

June 1st, 2015

Dear Journal,

Looks like we won't be making it by the end of this month. That's fine, we should be there sometime into this month anyway.

Schools out for summer! I think at least… Me and Alyssa were just finishing up our last year before all this happened. Guess we'll have to redo the grade.

Well that's definitely one good thing about this. There's no school. or government, or laws…. (Guess we'll just have to set up it all back up then!)

Today, we stopped at some kind of outdoor mini mall. There wasn't anyone there, of course. The first place we "ransacked" was a music store (instrument store?) so I could get Alyssa that guitar she wanted. It's a reddish bright orange, like the one on her "destiny mark." She hand (hoof?) picked it out herself.

Alyssa probably knows I read her journal entry. But I really meant it, it's a gift from me to her. I hope she enjoys it.

The next place on the list was the store. We didn't really need anything since we already have enough food, we've been mostly eating things like salads and fruit since we can't eat meat anymore. That stuff lasts a couple days.

I picked up some flashlights and a microscope there. The microscope's for "research." (It's stupid, I know shut up.) And the flashlights could come in handy. (Hoofy? Should we rework language for ponies?)

The rains coming down a bit hard now, John still isn't having any trouble driving though. Ugh… I dunno… Maybe I'm just being stupidly paranoid.

Either way, we're about halfway there now, just a couple more days and we'll be at the countryside. (There should be a farm there, right? And John called my plan reckless…)

There's usually farms out that way though, a place like that would have a lot of valuable stuff we could use. Even if there isn't one up there and we can still find a place to stay.

John's been trying the radio pretty often even when nobody responds. This situations been taking a pretty heavy toll on us.

Don't worry, John. We'll be fine…

But as usual this is Emile, goodbye. (I'm running out of ways to say goodbye…)

I'll probably start studying again, since school is nonexistent we'll need some way to preserve human knowledge.

Dear Journal,

I guess I jinxed it. Me and my big mouth…

John almost dozed off on the wheel while I was reading, and since the rain made the road slippery he lost control of the truck, and boom. We crashed.

We're all okay, Me, Alyssa, John, and even Alexander Hamilton III Buddy. (Thats still a better name) We might have a few scratches here and there though.

I wish it was the same story for our supplies. Some stuffs still usable but a lot of our food got damaged. We scavenged all we could from the wreck but we can't last like this.

We had to use our flashlights since we can't see all that well in the dark but we found a place to stay, an empty homeless shelter. There's a couple of beds in here, since human beds are pretty big for us we could probably fit about ten to fifteen ponies in here to say the least.

He seems fine now but earlier when we were looking for a place to stay John was limping. I think he might've broken a leg from the crash.

I feel like we should've just taken his car instead. Maybe the wheels being smaller would've helped…? I don't know. I just feel like John wouldn't have been injured right now if it weren't for me.

Dammit…. I know it's not my fault, but…. I hate myself for this…

We've made it to downtown at least, about half way there. Good, that's good…

8:00 PM

It's late, but I don't care.

I went out to some cheap discount dollar store for supplies.

Don't worry, I didn't go alone. I brought Alexander Buddy with me, he might cause trouble sometimes but he's obedient. Plus, he can protect me (somewhat) even with his size.

There wasn't much left in there but I managed to get some stuff at least. Here's the strange thing though, the store seemed like it had been looted already but not by some animals. No, everything was still neatly (as neatly as possible at least) on the shelves, someone was here.

The only evidence I found though was a periwinkle colored hair. I don't think there's any animals on this plant with that kinda color in their hair…

There's someone other than else out there, I can feel it…

I don't know if I'll tell John and Alyssa the news tomorrow, I don't want them to get mad at me for going out so late.

Whatever…

This is Emile, checking out, Dasvidaniya. (That means goodbye in Russian I think….)

Whoever this mysterious "food thief" is, I just hope they're friendly…

Author's Note:

Periwinkle hair? Who could that be...?

Just use more languages, zaijian, selamat tinggal, vale, etc. (Not really important I know..)
