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.
