Crazy Dave speared his shovel into the ground. He wiped a bead of sweat from his brow, taking a moment to fan himself with his pot before setting it back upon his bushy head.

Twilight Sparkle touched down on the lawn with another bundle of seed packets.

"You'd better hurry." Dave rambled in his usual gibberish-laden mutters.

Twilight didn't have to say a thing. She bristled at the recent memory of the last time they'd failed to defend. Whatever the case was--she was currently trapped in this world... and the only way out seemed to lie within Dr. Zomboss's Zombot. 

It didn't help that her magic was seemingly kaput as well.

If there was anything to provide solace, the fact that failure left them to simply re-awaken at the beginning of the day rather than meet their permanent end did help a little bit. It meant there was room to fail. To learn.

Twilight placed down a sunflower. She glanced over at Dave, who waved back as he topped up the lawnmowers with gas.

Her attention then turned to the graveyard just across the street. Whoever thought it was a good idea to zone the area for housing either didn't care about the zombie infestation or legitimately wished to see others perish.

Regardless, now wasn't the time for stray thoughts.

She planted a peashooter as the first zombie began to cross the street.
