: Entry #1 :
‘My sister insisted me to get a diary. I didn’t like the idea at first, but soon agreed. It was her birthday, after all. And after what happened to Papa… well, I don’t want to talk about him. Something happened after he and mom came back from their “Last Voyage”. He was… different. And not in a good way, more of a… well, he changed. Mother doesn’t like talking about him, so I won’t either. And why worry now? After all, today was Dinky’s 7 birthday! She was growing up so fast, I could-‘
I was interrupted by some pony jumping on me. “Come on, Sparkler, you’re gona miss the party! Every pony’s coming, and Rainbow Dash got the wonder-” I couldn’t understand what she was saying after that, she was bouncing off the walls. Literally! She was so exited. “And guess what… Well, Guess!”
“I don’t know” I chuckled “Vinal Scratch is DJ-ing?”
“Well that, and…… Uncle Jack’s coming too! I’m so excited! Come on!” And with that, she ran off to go help set up the party.
I smiled and got down from the hammock to go find mother. She went out with Carrot Top earlier today to go get a dress for Dinky. I would have went to, if not for the fact that the house still needed cleaning, and I was worried to leave Dinky alone. Since the Summer Sun Celebration, ponies from around Equestria have been disappearing. Just last week, one of the fillies from Dinky’s school went missing. I think it was one of the colts… Button. Now the town is in a state of panic. This was the 3rd pony to disappear, the first ones being Lyra Heartstrings and Cloud Kicker. Lyra disappeared the night after the SSC, Cloud Kicker a few days later. We’ve been searching for weeks now, but still no sign of them.
Mother and Carrot Top were running up the front walkway, terror in their eyes. Carrot Top grabbed me “Get your sister inside, two more ponies have disappeared today.”
Dinky came to great mother, but I lifted her inside the house. “But.. What about my party? What’s happing? Mommy?!” She tried to get mother to speak, but she seemed in a trance of some sort. I’ve only seen mother like that after something really bad happened.
“Mother. Tell. Me. What. Happened. Now.” I was starting to get worried, and Carrot Top wasn’t helping much either. She was pacing across the kitchen, muttering to herself “This is not good, this is NOT good…..”
I used my magic to stop her “Aunty, tell me what happened!” And them, mother started crying. She was quiet at first, but soon Dinky and I were by her side trying to help her. And then, ever so quietly, she whispered something. I didn’t hear her at first, but then she said it again
“H-he’s…….gone.”
We knew what she meant, and I wished it wasn’t true. We all cried that night.
