ONE EXPLANATION LATER
Twilight looked at everyone in shock.
"It... It broke through?" She asked. Tails nodded to her, having the same thoughts as her.
"So... What now?" Lyra asked. Bon-Bon shrugged, looking at Jewly. She shook her head, then looked at Tails.
"I just don't know..." Tails then gasped. 'Maybe...'
"What is it, Tails?" Twilight asked.
"Well, I remember something about... the Elements of Harmony? Can't you use those?" Tails asked. Twilight smiled wide at this.
"Of course! We can use the elements!" Twilight said. "Nice thinking, Tails!"
"Uh... Actually." Ranbow Dash said. "Fluttershy... She..." Twilights smile vanished and she looked up, shocked.
"No... She's not..." Dash nodded sadly. Twilight looked back at Tails. She started to tear up, making Tails worried.
"We... can't use the elements without Shy..." Twilight said.
"Oh no... I'm sorry." Was all Tails could say.
"... So..." Bon-Bon said. "What do we do now?"
AWAKE AND ALIVE, EPISODE 7: THE PLAN
Tails brought a large piece of paper into the room and laid it across the table.
"Were going to need a plan, so we should all think of something." Tails then handed everyone a quill and some ink. "So were all going to make it. Everyone think of what you know about the problem so far, then write down what you think we should do. Make it descriptive too." Everyone nodded.
"But... What if it's not a good plan?" Lyra asked.
"That's the point of this paper here. Were going to put what we think is a good plan, then we compare. Then we either choose what's best, or combine ideas. No plan is a wrong plan! Now let's start!" Applebloom began writing something down instantly, while everyone else thought about there own plan. Applebloom finished rather quickly, quickly yelling done as she spat the quill out her mouth. Everyone rolled their eyes and began on their own work.
It took no more than fifteen minutes for everyone to get finished. Tails made everyone carfully rip their plans apart and keep them to theirself. Tails then moved a few things around and brought a canvas out. He then sat down with everyone, who was on the opposite side of the canvas.
"Alright. Presentation time." Tails told everyone. "Everybody gets to present their plan. Then we try and slam them all together to form our plan. So... Who's going first?"
"OOH! OOH! ME!" Applebloom cried, rushing to the canvas and putting her plan on it. It was decorated in crud drawings of ponies and explosions and was in number form.
"Okay! First thangs first! We need to go rescue the other ponies who are still sane!" Applebloom told everyone, pointing a hoof at the poorly written plan. "Next, we build an army! We're gonna push these bad ponies back! Finally, we return everypony to normal!" Everyone looked at Applebloom with smiles, but all of them knew it wasn't put together well.
"Um... Great plan Applebloom..." Twilight said. "Let's... hear Applejack's now." And with that, Applebloom took her plan down and Applejack brought up hers. It had no decorations, just the plan.
"Okay. First of all, we need to prepare ourselves." Applejack said, pointing to her first objective. "Then we search Ponyville for good ponies. Were gonna need the help. Finallu, we escape Ponyville and make our way to Canterlot, where we'll get help from Princess Celestia and Luna." Applejack finished. Everyone but Tails nodded.
"Good. I can't use my teleportation magic outside this magic dome, so getting outside would be a good choice." Twilight said.
'But Princess Celesria...' Tails thought. 'She... She did this...'
"Okay... next is... Rainbow Dash." Twilight told them. Dash smirked, flying over to the canvas as Applejack pulled her plan off of it. Dash slapped her plan on it, it looking quite... explosive... in the drawing.
"Alright, the first thing we need to do, is suit up! Get some gear, weapons, armor, the likes. I mean, I'm a natural born weapon as it is and the unicorns have their magic, but for the earth ponies... we need some power for you guys." Dash told them.
"What? You sayin' earth ponies aren't strong?" Applejack asked angrily.
"No, no. Just... you just need some gear. Next, we go bust some heads, getting supplies we need as we escape. Then we head on over to Canterlot, where we will get more instructions from the princesses." Dash pulled her plan down and floated over to the group, smiling at her own 'brilliant' plan.
"Nice." Tails said, still feeling uncomfortable about the princess. "I guess I'll go next." Tails walked over and put his plan on the canvas and pointed through his step-by-step plan. "First, we need to prepare for the worst. Gather what we can in the library and get ready to leave. Next, we carefully sneak out the library and quietly make our way around Ponyville, saving anypony who is still in the town. Then we find a good, large area to be a home base. The next thing is... Well, survive. Survive until we can figure out what is happening and put a stop to it. And hopefully... we can cure it as well." Tails finished.
"Very good plan Tails." Jewly said. "Almost like mine. It's my turn." She said, trotting over to the canvas as Tails took his plan down. She placed her plan and began to read it.
"Alright, step one... Fight off the infected." She told the group. "Push them out the city, then barricade the city. With the place secure, Tails and princess Twilight Sparkle will do their thing and find a cure. Then we save my grandpa." she said, her yellow eyes saddening. Tails nodded, knowing how she felt.
"Short, but good. Alright, Twilight, it's your turn." Tails said. Twilight nodded and switched places with Jewly. Her plan had many numbers and maps, but the main plan within it was ordered at the bottom.
"Alright, first we should gather supplies and defenses. We should use the things around the library at the moment until better supplies are found. Then we sneak around Ponyville until we find a way outside, then we immediately report to the princesses." Twilight said. Again, everypony nodded. But Tails didn't.
"Okay, my turn." Bon-Bon said, trotting over to the canvas and placed her plan on the thing. In four huge words, "GO GET THE PRINCESSES!" was plastered on the sheet of paper. "Pretty self explained, right?"
"Uh-hu..." Tails said. "Finally, Lyra." Lyra smiled, trotting up and placing her plan on the canvas. Tails eyes widened at the piece of paper covered in drawings of hands.
"Okay." She began. "First, barricade the library. Let's make it a fortress. Then, we study Tails and his hooves called hands. We then use what we learn to engineer our own hands and defeat the evil with our awesome hand power." She said. Tails laughed nervously, backing away from everypony, especially Lyra.
"Okay... Everyone got our new plan?" Tails asked everypony. They all nodded, having put all their plans together. "Alright. We prepare ourselves, leave, sneak around Ponyville, saving any others who are still with us. We also get supplies at any time we can. We then make our way outside, where we will find the... Princesses... and save everypony after. Short, simple, and ready to go. So... Are we ready?!"
"YEAH!"
"Then let's go!"
Now this is short. But I had to update.
A little game for you guys. Tell me how many times the word 'plan' was used in this story. Reward to whoever tells me first correctly.
And as for werewolf lover99. I know how you always want your OC's in stories. I would like to use them in one of my upcoming stories, if that's okay.
