Sweetie blinked as she hovered in her sister's magic. Rarity was currently running toward a train filled to the brim with screaming ponies. Behind them, skeletons and flesh-eaten ponies shambled toward them. Sweetie casually placed the Necronomicon in her saddlebags, glad she had had the foresight to pack everything she needed to Loop with her.
‘Well, I’ll admit I’m confused as to how that happened. I thought for sure It was going to fail.’ Sweetie, still held in Rarity’s magic, watched the train door close just before they reached it, and the train begin to slide forward. Rarity, beginning to panic, followed the group of ponies as they tried to climb onto the train. Sweetie rolled her eyes, breaking Rarity’s magic, and teleported herself and her sister to stand on the top of the train.
“Nng,” she grunted, pulling more and more ponies onto the train. Sweetie filled the top with ponies, using her magic to help them stick to the top of the train, at least until they got their bearing and held on. Collapsing in a heap, she gasped for breath, spell flickering on her horn. Rarity touched her horn to her sister, slowly followed by a couple of other unicorns, and the strain eased.
“Sweetie, how on earth did you manage to accomplish that?” Rarity blinked as a letter was shoved into her face, and read it. Confusion consuming all thought, she numbly handed it back as Sweetie began to stand up, recovered from her recent exertion. Thanking the eager unicorns, she noticed their strained faces, feeling guilty for using so much of their magic.
“Sweetie.” Rarity’s tone spoke volumes of the conclusion she was coming to, and Sweetie looked away. Nodding once, she confirmed Rarity’s suspicions, and the older sibling sighed. Bringing Sweetie into a hug, Rarity considered with silent fear what levels her sister was willing to go to to be free. Sadly, she could understand Sweetie’s reasoning.
“So what’s the plan?” Rarity stepped back, and Sweetie smiled sadly. Glancing to the scenery rushing by them, a bitter smile fell on Sweetie’s face. Rarity, thinking the worst, latched her magic tightly around Sweetie, who blinked and then growled in annoyance.
“No, not that! I plan to teleport back to Ponyville and wait out the week sealed in my room. I can teleport around for supplies, and once the week is up I can just spend it like I normally do.” Sweetie saw the relief on Rarity’s face, and felt insulted that her sister would assume she’d take that option. Did Rarity not realise that meant literally killing thousands of ponies?
“Are you sure?” Rarity looked carefully at Sweetie, noticing the bored expression on the filly’s face. Sweetie nodded, and Rarity finally caved. As much as she hated to admit it, Sweetie could obviously take care of herself now. Even better than Rarity could. As proof by the teleport to get onto the train.
“Just be careful sister.” Rarity brought Sweetie into a hug, and stepped back. Sweetie smiled, and concentrated, teleporting away. However, what she hadn’t considered was her forward momentum, and so as she teleported to the side of the tracks, she began to tumble through the grass. While she survived, she was badly cut up.
Wincing, Sweetie stood up and checked herself over. Seeing nothing was too terribly injured, she decided to walk some of the distance back. After all, she would eventually run into the zombies. Sweetie shuddered, remembering the first one.
“I mean, how was I supposed to know bringing ponies back from the dead didn’t bring back their brains?!” Sweetie complained to the sky, loudly, for the remainder of her trip back.
I must admit some curiosity on whether or not Sweetie could just implant someone else into her brain with her; a multiple personality sort of thing...
Sweetie, this is crossing into "It should not be" territory.
...Depending on how "souls" work here, the loops could have committed mass murder just on how many copies they've gone through. Starswirl, you bastard. ...Is it too late for Sweetie to perform a memory spell on herself?
5686357 a memory spell, now that's an interesting idea.
Hmm... I wonder what strange, and possibly terrible things are gonna happen in this chapter?
I can't wait to find out!
Typo: 'sisters' to sister's... unless they have an invisible sister we don't know about...
Wow... I just skipped all the way down here to post a typo... I missed a lot from that first paragraph...
Sorta predictable. >_<
Hmm chapters seem to be getting shorter and shorter...
Sweetie, you're no fun.
That made no sense!
Why would Sweetie go back to spend the week locked in her room if she packed all she needed to loop with her and she gets back to her room for the start of each loop?
It would just be safer to travel with her sister for the week wouldn't it?
I mean for the propuse of showing Rarity acknowledging Sweetie as being capable of taking care of herself this concept is fine; but I feel that Werewolf should provide some explanation, any explanation for this bold choice.

Zombie Apocalypse? Sweetie couldn't care less, Sweetie doesn't give crap about anyone anymore
5686357 Wouldn't work. If she used a memory spell then she wouldn't be able to use the advance shield spell and would probably be stuck in a death loop from the brain shutting down from magic overload. (and or exploding)
Slayer sweetie a go? When the sweetie a sings and swings Zombies dead things be at rest for your puppets strings shall fall! This could be like a main six adventure easy!
Now we're back on the normal looping adventures. Although I blame Sweets not knowing on her not reading enough horror books. She'd know very few types of undead are sentient, and zombies always have a taste for human flesh ... eventually. Unless you're talking about the AnitaVerse [Anita Blake series], even then Sweets should have used the Necrowombicon instead. If Tycho from Penny Arcade uses it, it can't be all evil .
How did Sweetie bring ponies back from the dead anyway???????? Even with magic, that kind of thing shouldn't be possible!!!!!!!!!
oh Necronomicon what crazy adventures do you have in store today
Yes it was short but it was the best one yet
Mabey we can see some more involving the necronomicon
Sweetie was the relief on Rarity’s face
Seeing nothing was too terrible injured
1. Saw.
2. Terribly.
5689731 Necronomicon. That is all.
Woooowwww....great job there, Sweetie. Necronomicon. Wow.
Brains... that's what puts the "nom" in necronomicon!
5689731
ikr it defies the laws of physics and life
How did she learn the Arabic dialect, and how did she keep her sanity intact? The Necronomicon is not the name for a necromancer's spellbook, it's a book bound in human (or perhaps in this case, pony) flesh, written in blood and made to attempt to understand the Great Old Ones. It's impossible to read it and retain your sanity.
