Sweetiebelle looked at Dinky; a day had passed scince the breach, yet nopony had regained control of the foundation, or contained the two artifacted ponies. Both fillies were hungry and tired, but they both knew that they couldn't rest. Which was correct, as there could be a monster around every corner. Having run into Pinkamena and Radical Dash, the less monsters they saw, the better. Everytime they heard something, they nearly jumped out of their coats.
Paranoid, Sweetie opened another door; It led to what should've been a gas room, but instead had no doors and was covered in blood. A yellow apparation seemed to be in that chamber. "Do we have to go in?" Dinky whimpered. Sweetie looked over at her. "Yes," she replied. "It's the only way." They tiphooved to the entrance; the figure seemed to be in tears. "Let's just get out as fast as we can," Sweetie whispered. They began to walk past it, but it started to grunt... It sounded like Fluttershy.
The two fillies quickened their pace, but the creature lifted its head; It was a horrifing mix of Fluttershy's face and a human skull, it's eyeballs bulging. Screaming, the unicorns ran out of the room and through several hallways. Panting, they came to a halt. Faint screams of Fluttershy-man were heard, but they didn't near at all. Dinky let out a sigh of releif, and met eyes with Sweetiebelle. "Are you okay?" Sweetie asked, and Dinky nodded. "Can we find somewhere to sleep?" she whimpered. "I'm exaughsted." Sweetie smiled. "Not yet, we need to find food first. As soon as we find the lunch room, we can sleep under the tables."
Dinky nodded in agreement, looking around the hallway. She gasped as Radical passed through the walls, but she didn't pay any heed to the class-D that were a few feet away. She sighed as Radical dissapeared again, and glanced sideways at Sweetie. Sweetie returned the glance. "Let's get moving," she murmured. They began trotting a a quick pace, their haste making the darkness of the hallways seem like they were day. Running across Tesla gates, perferfectly timed, gave them the adrenaline they needed to get to the lunch room quicker.
They shut the door behind them and raced forward. They pulled out whatever food they could find. They smiled at eachother as they ate. "We've done good today, soldier!" Sweetie did a fake salute to lighten the mood, and Dinky laughed, saluting back and playing along. "Yes, mam! We've done very well!" Sweetie swallowed her last morsel. "To the bunkers! We have a long day of trekking and fighting to do tomorrow!" Dinky nodded, struggling to keep a serious face for the last act; "Mam! Yes, Mam!" and she fell over in a fit of giggles, along with a laughing Sweetie.
Nestling together under the table, they curled, Sweetie using her tail as a blanket for her younger friend. "Do you want me to sing a song, to help you sleep in the dark?" She asked. Dinky nodded, and Sweetie began singing, "Hush Now, Quiet Now." Although she felt good that she was comforting her new friend, she wished she and Dinky had never signed up for this. Why did I ever look forward to this? She wondered, before sleep took her hostage.
