The slumber, an illustrious equine laying in her bed with peace in her face. Eyes covered with a sleep mask of such a vibrant pink. Usually, nothing would get in the way of beauty sleep. And, for good reason, no pony would dare rise the scowling rage that would scream itself through.
But, this time, things were different.
KABOOOOM!!!
"What what what!?" said Rarity as she is rudely awakened. Tearing off the mask without harming it, she turned and looked outside her window to find that a piece of the full moon had been blown apart, now it looked like a cookie that had a piece bitten off. Terrified, Rarity screamed at the destruction. The scream caused the young Sweetie Belle to barge in all the way from her room. She carried a kitchen knife and was ready for anything that would harm her dear sister.
"What is it!? What happened Rarity!?"
"T-The Moon..." said Rarity with a shiver.
"Aww come on! Did you have a bad dream again or something?"
"No... Sweetie Belle, please come."
The sister walked up to whatever her crazed family member must have seen, and before you knew it, she was gasping as well. The moons destroyed self would drive any-pony to madness.
"Oh." said Sweetie Belle.
Then, from the broken hole of the moon, an orange terror in mass were flying. Thousands upon thousands of Pumpkins; laughing and chattering so loud that it could be heard from all over. They were coming down to Equestria from the coldness of outer space and they definitely meant trouble.
"Sweetie Belle, go get my Musket, this is going to be a long night."
Sweetie would watch the enormous mass of Pumpkins falling from space, she could only freeze.
"Sweetie Belle! Go get it this instant!"
Startled, she ran to her closet and pulled out a very large musket that had metal linings on its silver skin. Rarity lifted the magical weapon to her side, intensity grew in her eyes.
"Its time to do what is best for the family I have here at this moment." said Rarity deeply. "Come Sweetie Belle, we need to go find my friends."
"Alright, but what about my friends?"
"They'll be fine, lets go." said Rarity while loading some magically made bullets into her musket. As the two of them ran out of Carousel Boutique, Rarity closed the entrance with magic so nothing could get in. As they were exiting their way, a pumpkin fell at them, rolling at high speeds. Aiming in less than a second, Rarity fired a shot that gouged three holes into the pumpkins mushy exterior, stopping it in its tracks.
"Move Sweetie Belle, we don't have time to waste!"
They continued running, Rarity managed to dispose many assailing, cackling Pumpkins before arriving at Sugar Cube Corner. Kicking the door down, Rarity and Sweetie Belle found Pinkie Pie smashing pumpkins with a baseball bat. With her musket newly supplied with fresh magical rounds, she helped her with supplying a healthy dosage of pain to the many pumpkins that broke through the ceiling.
"What took you so long!? I've got a healthy dose of Pumpkin for baking tomorrow!" said Pinkie Pie while wiping a smidgen of Pumpkin juice from her brow.
"Sorry Pinkie, we've had a lot of action from here but, we still need to go find every-pony else." said Rarity.
"Don't you worry, I've got just the thing for the job, come with me to the back."
Rarity and Sweetie Belle followed Pinkie Pie to the back before finding a small delivery car ready for fast movement.
"Here's our ride." said Pinkie Pie while starting the car with a turn of its small ignition knob.
The three went inside the cart and Pinkie Pie gave her baseball bat to Sweetie Belle.
"Make sure to smash some heads while we drive, Sweetie!" said Pinkie.
Out the garage door that slid open, they drove into a few pumpkins that tried to bar their way. Pumpkin pieces got in their manes and faces before they wiped them off.
"Rarity, are we going to be ok?" said Sweetie Belle, cradling her baseball bat for safety.
"I don't know! But I'm not gonna go out without a fight!" said Pinkie Pie.
"She was talking to me... ah whatever."
Another Pumpkin getting ran over, they continued past the pumpkins rolling after them. Before long, arriving near Sweet Apple Acres, they could hear the sound of gunfire in the distance. Getting closer and closer, one could see an army of pumpkins rolling through the hills of Sweet Apple Acres getting suppressed by intense machine gun fire. Pumpkins being blown apart, but the never ending amount, unceasing on their assault.
Rarity and the rest drove through the thick amount of Pumpkins before getting ready to crash right into the farm houses entrance.
"Get READY!" screamed Pinkie Pie over the intense gunfire.
Any pumpkin that even dared to get close to the car was met with Rarity blowing them apart or Sweetie Belle batting them to pieces away. The three of them screamed as they neared the entrance before suddenly crashing through to the entrance and suddenly stopping. On the stairs, Applejack awaited, her hat partly bitten off and her body smudged with dirt.
"Get out NOW! MOVE MOVE MOVE." said Applejack as she directed them to the upper parts of the home. Up they ran, till they were in Granny Smith's room, on the windows near were Big Mac and Fluttershy manning the mounted machine guns. Flutters is currently smoking a cigar and Big Macintosh wearing a big pair of goggles while firing indiscriminately at the pumpkins. Sitting on the bed was Applebloom and Scootaloo, who were both watching the carnage in safety.
"Sweetie Belle!" They would shout.
The two would come to her and hug each other.
"I thought you guys were goners. I'm so glad to see you!"
"Hey after this, maybe we will get our Cutie Marks in surviving a Pumpkin Apocalypse." said Scootaloo.
"Hah, that'd be somethin!" said Applebloom while snuggling with her friends.
Rarity and Applejack looked at the rolling pumpkins that would spell doom for them.
"I've been fighting for my life all night and I haven't even gotten a smidgen of sleep, "sigh" why is this happening?"
"Al tell ya this, Rarity, I've never seen the likes of these Pumpkins before, GrannySmith doesn't even know where they come from."
Looking pensively, Rarity scratched her chin at what would be in store for them this night.
"What should we do? Those machine guns won't last forever."
"All we can do is wait, and hope that some-pony will fix all this, just relax for now."
Rarity took a breather, the heavy machine gun fire and most of her friends situated near was enough for her to let her guard down.
She sat on the bed knowing that the extremely long ammo cache that filled the whole room next store kept her mind in peace.
