OH MY FUCKING GAWD! Writers block seriously sucks. You guys have no idea. I've been forcing my way through it the best I can. I'm sorry if the story suffers in quality and chapter size.


Twilight and I walked down to where the crates were placed. It wasn't done neatly but everything was here. I started to open the everything up to separate the weapons from the other supplies.

There were about seven crates and five boxes.  Five of the crates had weapons and ammo inside so I grouped them together on the left. Everything else was placed on the right next to the chopper which was propped upright enough so that I could sit in it. "Twilight, do you have any extra paper?"

"Yeah sure. I always bring extra just in case." she replied handing me a quill and a small stack of paper. "Why do you need it?"

"Oh I thought I would take inventory on everything we have just so I know what were working with." I tell her. I sat in the back of the huey and look at the contents of the two crates sitting on the ground in front of me. The first crate had separate compartments dividing the various items inside. Inside the first compartment was about fifteen road flares, and an assortment of every type of battery from triple-A's to a fist sized sixteen volt battery. There even happened to be a car battery in the bottom. The next one had two spare electric lanterns, a flare gun, various tools, rope and and extension cord.

The second crate was larger and had a generator with four canisters of fuel each holding fifteen gallons a piece.This might be useful. I then move to look in the boxes which unlike the crates were labeled. The five boxes were labeled Tyrin's stuff, Jake's stuff, Tyler's stuff, radio equipment, and food water and important stuff. I won't complain. Tyler at least had labeled our possessions.

I open my box of stuff and look inside. Sitting under my various crap and scattered possessions were three blue Air Force spiral notebooks. I got them at the back to school fare that gave school supplies to low income families. My family wasn't ever that well off. I drew in these notebooks during my free time. I wasn't the best artist but I was good at what I drew. Two of these notebooks were notebooks I used before the war. The one on the very top of the stack was the one I began to draw in the week before the invasion began.

I lifted the notebooks out of the box and looked at them remembering how it used to be. I remembered how I used to be so obsessed with MLP that I would literally dream about it. No matter whether it was a good dream or a bad one, I would wake up in a cold sweat from the vividness of them. My friends were bronies, but I was a die hard brony. I would live breathe and sleep ponies. The top two notebooks were filled almost entirely of something pony related.

I looked back into the box and saw that my phone was inside. Of course I couldn't use it here or on earth but what I used it for was to keep brony music in. It was mostly instrumentals from artists such as Derpidety because they helped calm my nerves. I did have a lot of other music from more famous brony artists like TheLivingTombStone, and Wooden Toaster. I had jury rigged a small solar panel that gathered enough energy to charge the phone. My phone couldn't use headphones or earphones. It however use my old gaming headset. I used Turtle Beach XC1's on my phone. I looked stupid with the headset on but I didn't care.

I put it down beside the notebooks when I noticed Twilight staring at me intently but I decided to ignore her and leave her be. I took the notebooks and held them in my hands. I couldn't help but to smile. These notebooks were my most prized possession. They held all the memories of a simpler time. Next to MLP, it was one of the few good memories I had.

"You ok there Tyrin?"

"Yeah, just thinking. Twilight I think I know how to tell the girls about MLP. Can you see if you can get them up here?"

"Actually Pinkie Pie was going to bring the others up already. They should be here anytime now."

"Good." I looked to the sky and saw it was orange and the sun was close to the horizon. "Holy crap, time goes fast!" I exclaimed. I didn't realize I was leaning on the back wall of the cabin propped up with my elbow and my leg right leg lazily hanging out. I must have spent a long amount of time in thought.

"Uh maybe we should start listing these weapons..." I say to her chuckling lightly.

"No need to be embarrassed, I get lost in though all the time." she said calmly walking over. "Are you sure you can do this?"

"Yeah I think I need to do this. The sooner its done the better. I'm going to just tell them everything.  Rainbow Dash can bite me, you're my favorite." I tell her while going weapons crate and looking over the pile of assorted firearms.

"Well I'm glad to see you aren't intimidated by her anymore." she stated. Just then, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie walked over. "Speaking of, guess who's here?"

I turn just as I pull out an AEK-971 assault rifle from the crate. I noticed Fluttershy had stepped back at the sight of the weapon so I placed it back into the crate. "Hiya everypony, have a seat." I say to the present members of the mane six. I then look to Twilight who now looked a little frustrated. "Twilight look, this can what. You and I both know this kinda takes priority." I whisper to her.

"Fine." she said with the frustrated expression still an her face. She sat down with the rest in a circle around the electric lantern I placed on the ground. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie all looked uneasy.

"Something wrong girls? It looks like somethings troubling you all."

Nopony said a thing. They all just looked around nervously. "Nopony is gonna ask him?" Rainbow yelled with annoyance obvious in her voice. Again, nopony  answered and she groaned. "Fine, if you all are to chicken to say anything then I will." she said turning to face me. "Tyrin, those foals over there want to here more about you and where you came from. I could care less but I'm telling you since they can't." 

"Umm... if that's ok with you. you don't have to tell us if you don't want to." Fluttershy said softly. Applejack walked over and joined the group.

I burst out laughing. "I was actually going to tell you all now! I kinda guessed that you all were curious. If you want to know, I'll tell you." I pick up my spiral notebooks and look at them. This story may be hard for them to hear but they need to here it. I just hope they understand the fact that even though we've killed so many, we are not monsters. I then muster up what courage I have and open my mouth and start to speak.
