Dearborn, Michigan: Walmart 7 days until Halloween 1:32 P.M. “Get the fuck out of my way!” “AUGH!!” “Fuck you too!” *HACK* *SPLAT* It was hard enough trying to enter through the front door and trying to make absolutely no noise with one human, six ponies and a dog, and now I have too fucking run through walkers. Avoiding them is easy, but these things come in packs. So I made a simple plan to get Fluttershy. Step one, get in. Step two, get Fluttershy. Step three, get the fuck out! After slicing the head off of the zombie that was in my way with my machete, I ran straight through the clothes aisle, with at least six zombies roaming around. As I was running, I accidently hit a zombie and knocking it into the metallic shelves where they put clothes. It was enough noise to attract the attention of all the zombies in the clothing aisle, plus a few around the aisle. I honestly have no idea where to look. Where would Fluttershy go to? I have no time to think about that right now, I’m just going to run around the corners of the large store, shouting her name. A very bad idea considering the fact that this whole store is filled with zombies, but what else could I do? Shit, I’m not Sonic the damn Hedgehog. I’ll just have to run to the first section of the store and start off from there. As I was running the first thing I saw was the the electronic section. I ran into there and saw at least three zombies there, all of them wearing the Walmart uniform. I went up to the first one and just rammed my machete right between its eyes. It fell to it’s knees, and I pulled out my weapon and kicked it. The second one noticed the noise and limped towards me. I carefully approached it and slit it’s ankle, causing it to fall to it’s side and hitting it’s head on an edge of a shelf, empaling it. It slid off, and landed on the floor with a thud. I felt something grab my right shoulder and I quickly turned around with my machete ready. The third zombies teeth were so close to my neck, that I nearly panicked. If I did, then I would have been a goner in no time. But I still had my mind set on finding that yellow pony, and I brought up my right hand to the neck of the zombie, stopping it from coming any closer. With the machete in my left hand, I turned it to a stabbing position and shove the blade right into it’s skull. I turned away so no blood could enter my mouth, eyes or nose. After it stopped squirming, I pushed it off of me. “Oh god,” I said to myself. I whipped my hand on my hoodie and felt my skin crawl. “That was just fucking-Ughhh.” No time to waste. I run around the the electronic section, yelling her name and looking for her. “Fluttershy! Where are you!? It’s Giovann-” Then it came to me. Fluttershy is normally quiet. I cursed widely inside my head, realizing that she rarely is ever loud. I run out of the electronic section and just stood in the pathway. I look around and notice some zombies walking their way towards me. I look up at the ceiling and reading the signs to see which was the closes aisle to go too. “Alright, I guess I’ll go to the art’s and crafts section. It’s at least two aisles away from the snacks section, and further on is the toy section.” I say to myself aloud. The zombies were getting closer, so I ran towards the arts and crafts section without a moments hesitation. Fuck, Walmart got everything. I enter the arts and crafts section, and notice how the lights are more flickery over here then the entire store. It doesn’t help that this is a really long aisle either. I walk slowly, and look at the shelves on both my sides, one head turn at a time. Crayons were all smashed on the floor and on scattered around the shelves, making it look like a clown just threw up his own colors. There was some blood markings on the ground too, mixed with a few body parts. If I wasn’t so freaked out, I’d say this is pretty cliche. I’m nearing the end of the aisle until I hear a very loud noise coming from behind me. I turn around and nearly shit my pants. This fucking zombie looked like a fucking Bloater. I’m not saying it is a Bloater, but man did that shit look ugly. “Oh that’s a big fucker.” I say to myself. It started to walk towards me very slowly. Thank God, too. I did not want to fuck with that thing, so I just started to walk away. As I turn around and started to walk, it roared again, and started to walk faster. “Oh, fuck that.” I say to myself. I quickly ran out of there and headed straight towards the snack section. I was kinda looking forward to some snacks too, but there weren’t any. Not even a damn Hershey’s Bar. I could still hear the big lug making his way over here. So, I decided that I didn’t want this big fucker making more noise than I already am. I backed away farther from the way it was coming, and I just stood there, waiting for it to get here. I pulled out the revolver and aimed at the way it was coming, wanting to finish it off fast as hell. I see it walk over here, and it just stood there, looking at me, and I looked at him back. It was like a mexican stand-off, except I wasn’t dead and I was the one holding a gun. “Alright. We both know how this is going to work out. I shoot you, you die, and a shit ton of zombies run and try to eat me.” I say as the fat zombie walks towards me. “So, you agree?” “RRRRRAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!” “Alright then!” He started walking towards me and I took a deep breath before I was going to pull the trigger. I aimed straight to the head and shot it. Blood splattered everywhere as it was stumbling towards me. Every step he took, his knees wobbled. I had to stay to make sure that he was going down, and as soon as he hit the floor with a loud thud, I ran out of there. As I left the aisle, zombies were heard right behind me. I decided to walk towards toy section and tried to remain quiet. The gunshot alone was loud enough to be heard around the whole store, and me running wasn’t going to help. I entered toy wonderland, as I liked to call it when I was really little, and noticed all of the toys were still there. I mean, some were opened and others were scattered on the ground, but besides that it looked like nobody really grabbed anything. It makes sense actually. I wouldn’t grab a new Nerf gun if zombies were trying to eat my brains. Hell no, I’d get a real gun. Remained quiet as I heard some zombies walk and trudge behind me. Some were moaning too loud to even notice me, and I’m glad most of them were blind to see me. I don’t need any fresh meat on my ass. “What is this?” I hear from behind me. I swear, I nearly screamed and shit my pants, and that would’ve been a bad scene. I turn around to see Fluttershy, looking up at me. “Fluttershy!” I whispered. I looked behind me to see if any zombies were near us. When I believed that we were free, I turned back to Fluttershy and knelt down, eye-level. “Fluttershy, what in the hell are you doing here? You were suppose to follow us back to the car! Come on, we need to go now-” “What is this?” She said with a soft voice. She pointed to the ground, while still looking at me. “What? What is Wha-” I felt my heart drop and my stomach churn. On the ground, was a little Fluttershy Figurine. I couldn’t say anything. I just looked at the little toy as I hear Fluttershy’s voice enter my head. “And what about these?” Her voice was not of anger, but of confusion and fear. I looked up at Fluttershy, and she pointed behind her. I stood up and walked up to were she was pointing and my heart nearly blew up. There were rows and rows of My Little Pony toys, figurines, dolls, collectables, plushies, posters, notebooks, and even a blanket. A fucking blanket. “What is all of this?” I hear Fluttershy say. I turn around, speechless. She looked up at me with those big, puppy dog eyes filled with nothing but confusion and fear. “Why are me and my friends and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna on these things? Why are there little versions of us? Why-why-why didn’t you tell us about this?” She looked so sad, and I tried to tell her what this all was but I just couldn’t talk. I tried to walk up to her and calm her down, but that just made it worse. She backed away into and bumped into the shelves of toys, knocking them all down. I heard a bunch of footsteps coming from around the front side of the aisle. I looked down at Fluttershy, who was too busy trying to wipe tears off her cheeks. “Look, I know this is confusing, but we need to leave to store right now.” I looked around and saw zombies making their way to us. “Okay okay look, I will tell you everything about these toys to you and your friends. I Pinkie Promise.” I even did those hand signs to prove to her that I wasn’t lying, and still she wasn’t convince. I had no choice. I put away the machete and grabbed her with both of my hands. She started to squirm, but I didn’t care. I carried her, bridal style and started running as fast as could. Even though I know I’m running away from zombies in a Walmart, I gotta admit something. It’s not everyday you get to hold Fluttershy in your arms. Weird, I feel like I’m in a self-insert fanfic. But anyways, I ran towards the exit, where there were only a few zombies. “Hold on tight.” I told Fluttershy as I ran past the zombies. I just kept running and running and running until I saw the car and the ponies around the car. “Everypony, get in the car, now!” I yelled. I put Fluttershy down and quickly opened the door. Everypony got in the car and I closed it. I then opened the passenger door for Nino and he hopped in with no problems. I then ran inside the car and started it up, hearing the engine roar loudly. There wasn’t enough time for Pinkie Pie to help them put on their seat-belts because I just rammed the gas pedal. “Everypony hold on!” I drove out of the parking lot and ran over a couple zombies, with blood splashing on the windshield. I turned on the windshield wipers carefully drove a little slower so all of the blood could be washed off. I decided to take the freeway that leads us to Ohio. “Giovanni why is Fluttershy crying?” I hear Twilight say. “Because she found something that you all weren’t suppose to know about until I told you all about it.” I looked at the mirror, and all of the ponies were giving me death glares. Stares that I would never want to see ever again. “I didn’t hurt her, if that is what you are all thinking.” I say, trying to make things better. But I knew I couldn’t. It just wasn’t going to happen. I wasn’t going to take the way that leads the way out of Michigan, because all of the lanes will be packed. No, instead, I am going to take the way that enters Michigan. While we were on the freeway, the stares still continued until I stopped the car. I turned it off and looked all around for any zombies. When the coast was clear, I got out of the car. “Everypony out.” I didn’t wait for them to get out, I just opened the door for Nino and opened the back door. I made some space for them to sit while I talk. They all got out of the car a while later and looked up at me. “Sit, please.” I say. As they all sat down in the back of the car, I took a deep breath, feeling very nervous about what I am about to tell them. “The reason why she is crying..is Because she saW you all. Little toy versions of all of you. In my world, you are all a cartoon. Non-existent, until now.” They all looked at me as if I was crazy, and I sighed. “I am going to tell you all about how I know about you, even before you came here.”
