A/N: First of all I want to make it clear that I am not making light of or mocking the Connecticut shooting. I don't joke about massacres. There is nothing funny about them. This is my way of lending a shoulder to the hundreds of people affected by the actions of one man. Why anybody would kill so many children is far beyond me.

"Is this really working?" Twilight asked Pinkie Pie. Her normally jubilant friend's eyes were still tinged red with tears. She had always been fond of children, and the tragedy hit her hardest of all. She nodded silently.
"Hi, I'm Twilight." She turned to Connecticut. "And these are my friends, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack." She pointed to each one. "We heard about what happened and we want to talk with you. Pinkie Pie's fourth wall capacities were enhanced with my magic so this is possible now."
Applejack stepped forward. "I guess I never really thought what it'd be like losin' my little sister. Just there one instant, gone the next. She ain't even got her cutie mark yet." Her eyes already were beginning to water up. "I s'pose it'd be a real shame, all that work for nothin'." She hid her face behind her hat.
"I can't even imagine," Fluttershy said from where she was sitting, hiding her face behind her mane. She wasn't sure about the humans, but she wanted to help. "It's just, I don't know. It's always sad when I can't save one of my little animal friends, I guess it's even worse if they're your own," She couldn't bring herself to continue. Applejack hugged her and Fluttershy sobbed into her shoulder.
Rarity was at a loss for words and was sobbing herself sick. Rainbow Dash hovered a bit off the ground, sad, but mostly angry. "Why would he do this?" She demanded. "What kind of sick person would murder fillies and colts at random? What if Scootaloo had been there? I would never forgive myself! I- I could have pulled a Sonic Rainboom and blasted him away, or I could have taken the kids on my back and flown them out! Why wasn't I there?" She smacked her head with her hoof.
"Rainbow, you couldn't have taken thirty humans on your back." Twilight gently reminded her fuming friend. "You would have been killed yourself. There was nothing we could have done."
Pinkie Pie sniffed. She was not her usual bouncy self. Instead she was steady and controlled.
"I hope I would have been as brave as the teachers." She said. "I always took being safe while I babysat Pumpkin and Pound Cake for granted. I dunno if I could keep a level head, or if I would have been brave enough to get in the way of the bullets before they, well, you know. I wanna say thanks to the teachers and police men that rescued the children. If they had panicked then things would have been way, way worse."
"But there is somethin' left you can do, sugar cube." Applejack looked up as the fourth wall began to reseal itself. "Know this: Don't give in. Don't you dare kick the bucket. Your family needs you, now more than ever. There will be storms that life throws you, it's true. But at the end of the path comes sunshine, golden as the autumn harvest. But it's only there if you persevere. Stay strong. We're thinking of you."

A/N: I feel a bit better now and I hope that this comes to somebody that needs it. I'm praying for you.
