"Oh, Dash. I was just kidding about that." The pink mare giggled

."She's kidding about what?" The butter yellow Pegasus spoke up.

"She called me a Bitch" The cyan pony assured

"Oh my. Did you mean it?" Fluttershy said cooing.

"No. I told you I was just kidding." Pinkie Pie was now getting nervous."Twilight, help me out here?"

Twilight only looked at Pinkie with no emotion, then transitioned to Rainbow. "She's right. You were a bit bitchy last year during the Grand Galloping Gala."

"Hey, it's not my fault the Wonderbolts wanted me to join." Rainbow said flatly.

"Hey, shut up back there." Called one of the soldiers up front. "Does it really matter if she is a bitch? No. Get over it."

"Does it really matter…. Blah, blah, blah, blah… get over…. Ah, shut the hell up." Rainbow said in response with a smart-aleck tone of voice.

"Are you being a smart ass" "Why no sir, of course not. Why I wouldn't be…" she was stopped as the soldier pistol whipped her, knocking her out cold.

"Hey that's not nice." Shouted the pink mare.

The soldier was about to knock her out but another stallion stepped up ant stopped him.

"Oh, hold there." The red stallion spoke in a low, deep, calm, southern accent."There's other ways to defuse the situation."

"Big… Big Macintosh?" Twilight said in a calm voice.

"Eeyup. Where's sis?" Big Mac said while looking around for Applejack.

"I don't know. We got lost while in Fillydelphia." Fluttershy said in a calm voice.

"What were you guy's doing there." Big Mac asked nopony in particular.

"We were there when the mare-flu struck Equestria" Fluttershy spoke up. "I was there to visit my family, Twilight was there to a doctors appointment, Pinkie was going to get a temporary job at the one of the offices in the city, Rarity was shopping, AJ was, I don't know why AJ went, and Rainbow was hitting the bars to show off and to get tough." Fluttershy explained to Big Mac.

"But when the infection hit, all we could find was each other. We thought we saw rarity, but it wasn't her."

"So, AJ could be dead?" Big Macintosh said in a saddened voice.

"We shouldn't fear the worst Big Mac. There's always hope." Fluttershy said trying to calm Big Macintosh down, who was now shedding a single tear. Even the hard ship training of being the best soldier couldn't make him hard enough to cry about the thought that his little sister might be dead.

"What about Applebloom?"

"I don't know." Pinkie said with her hair flat, it has always been flat since the infection, except a couple of moments that made her happy. "We were headed to Ponyville when we heard that is a ghost town now. Then our balloon that we took from the hospital crashed due to a infected pilot."

"Sounds like you mare have been though hell." Big Mac said in shock.

"Yeah it was tough, but we made it. Poor jack!"

"Who's Jack?" Big Mac asked Pinkie.

"Just a close co-worker at the office, and a good friend."

A/N: We will be getting into how Pinkie got into all of this next time. Well this was quickly done. Jeez-us, I just can't stop writing. At this pace I will be done by the end of the week. And more Fluttershy in this Chapter. I'll try to keep the focus on the character the chapter is mainly talking about, like the Left 4 Dead "The Sacrifice" comic.

Be sure to review this I want to know what you think of it.
