3 Days Earlier
Twilight stared hopelessly at the corpses of her friends, and slowly backed away. She thought she was safe until one of the birds looked up and took notice of her. Twilight's eyes widened as she ducked and ran from the attacking birds. She high-tailed it out of the boutique.
After a minute of running away from the boutique and through the chaotic streets, she bumped into Rainbow Dash.
"Hey!" Rainbow Dash complained, backing off. "Twilight!"
Twilight looked at Rainbow Dash with tear-stained eyes, and Rainbow Dash immediately got worried. Before any questions were to be asked, the two have to find shelter, and their friends. They quickly went off in search of their friends and shelter.
"Twilight!" The alicorn heard in the back of her head. "Twilight!"
Present Day
Twilight snapped back into reality. She looked around at her friends. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie were in front of her. She sighed. She was not dreaming.
Intro
Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight. "That was when we bumped into each other, right?" She asked, feeling like she didn't even remember what happened to her.
Twilight nodded. "And then we went off to Sugar Cube Corner to find Pinkie..."
3 Days Earlier
Twilight stared at Sugar Cube Corner as the duo rushed to find Pinkie.
They burst into the door, and looked around.
Present Day
"Wait a minute!" Pinkie called, interrupting the story. "Can I tell my story?! Please?!" She begged.
Twilight looked at her and rolled her eyes. "I guess."
"Okay!" Pinkie sat down. "It all started 3 days ago." She began. "Ooooooooooo begin the flashback! Ooooooo..."
3 Days Earlier
"Pinkie, stop playing around and hurry!" Mrs. Cake called to the playful mare as she quickly gathered her stuff. Mr. Cake ran in, carrying the two foals on his back.
"Are we running away?" Pinkie asked, holding a rubber chicken.
"Yes, sweetie!" Mrs. Cake called, running over to Mr. Cake and taking one of the foals. "Help us carry the stuff!" She called.
"Okay!" Pinkie bounded out, and helped pick up some of the Cakes' bags. "Where are we going?"
Mrs. Cake froze and looked at Pinkie. It seemed that the playful party mare didn't fully understand what was happening.
"Pinkie...do you know what's happening?" She asked her.
"The zombie apocalypse has broke out and we are running away from Ponyville for safety?" She asked.
Mrs. Cake sighed and lowered her head. "Of course." She answered, quickly moving to the door. She stopped suddenly as Mr. Cake called for her.
"Honey! We need to get food for the foals!" He reminded her. She nodded, and handed the foals to Pinkie so that she could fetch their baby food.
"I'll check outside..." Mr. Cake said as he peeked out a window. He immediately screamed, as a corpse flew threw the window and left a giant hole for the undead to crawl inside...
Present Day
"Then I took the Cake foals and locked myself in my room. We played lots of fun games while we waited!" She said with glee, looking over at the two playing with a pony that was hiding under a potato sack cloak.
Twilight rolled her eyes. Pinkie's attitude was almost enjoyable in the current situation. "Do you remember what happened yet, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight asked.
Rainbow Dash shook her head, holding it with one hoof. "I still can't remember..."
Twilight sighed. "After we found Pinkie hiding in the room, we came here to Sweet Apple Acres. It was about midnight, wasn't it?"
2 Days Ago
Twilight approached Sweet Apple Acres' front gate. The infection seemed to be rare here. She led the trio inside, and called for Applejack multiple times. Applejack did not answer any of these calls, but the trio pushed on until they reached the barn. As soon as they reached the barn, Twilight looked around at the empty landscape.
"Appleja-!" She began to call before the sound of a gun rang out nearby. The trio ducked and hit the ground, afraid of getting hit by the bullet.
Applejack looked out the window, holding an old hunting rifle in her hooves. She lifted her hat and saw her friends. "Twilight! Pinkie! Rainbow!" She called after her friends. "Mighty sorry, thought y'all were one of them!" She apologized, waving her hat.
Twilight looked up, annoyed.
Present Day
"Ah was lucky that the infection started across town. As soon as ah heard, I locked mah family back in the house and made the farm a fortress." Applejack exclaimed, feeling proud of herself.
"At least you were safe." Twilight said under her breath. "And then we went to check on Fluttershy..." Twilight choked on her own words.
"Don't think about it, Twi." Applejack said, patting her friend on the back.
Rainbow raised her head. "I remember!" She exclaimed.
The three others looked at her, wide eyed. "You do?!" They asked.
Rainbow nodded slowly. "I...I need to find Scootaloo."
The three other ponies rose up, and stared at Dash. Applebloom trotted over and looked at the pegasus too. "Did you say...Scootaloo?" She asked through teary eyes.
Rainbow Dash nodded. She remembered leaving Scootaloo in a safe place. A wine cellar underneath Berry Punch's house.

"Get inside, kid!" Rainbow cried, pushing the young pegasus into the cellar.
"Dash!" She cried. "What are yo-"
Rainbow looked back at her. "Stay here. I'll come back if I find a safe place."
"Promise?" Scootaloo asked, tears soaking her face.
"I promise." Rainbow said, slowly closing the doors and locking the cellar.
Present Day
Rainbow Dash raised her head. "We have to fight back."
"What?!" Twilight asked. "Are you crazy?! You have seen what they could do!"
Rainbow Dash stomped her hoof angrily. "I know what they can do!" She cried. "But I'm not going to sit here and wait to die! I say we kill them all!"
Applejack looked at her. "Are ya sure?"
Rainbow Dash nodded. "This ends now." She said. "There will be no. More. Running."
Twilight sighed. "She's right." She muttered. "We have to wipe out the attack." She said, raising her head.
"For Rarity." Applejack joined in, holding out her hoof.
"For Spike." Twilight placed her hoof on top of Applejack's.
"For Scootaloo." Rainbow placed added her hoof to the pile.
"For the Cakes!" Pinkie exclaimed, topping the pile.
"And Fluttershy..." The four turned their heads to the pony who was wearing the potato sack cloak. He placed his hoof on top of Pinkie's, hiding his face.
The ponies nodded and smiled at each other, ready to fight back.
A single pegasus remained in the middle of a cottage. She was hanging from a noose, lifelessly dangling her hooves. Rabid, zombified animals tore through her yellow coat and ate her flesh.
Fluttershy couldn't handle it anymore. She's in a better place now.
