Chapter 6 The invisible enemy

"If you believe in something, even if you try to deny it, then that thing that you believe in still has effect on you." Night Wing

Twilight had teleported when the crowd had capture Rumble. "Stop you are all crazy!"

"This has nothing to do with you Twilight Sparkle!" Called one pony. "We are only trying to get rid of the pledge!" The rest of the pony's cheered in agreement.

"By murdering a filly!" Twilight shouted back. "This pledged is all in your head, you let it control your mind, and the Feather Flu can only make Pegasus sick!"

A mare object what Twilight was saying. "But we all had the signs, coughing, sneezing, and a rise in tempter." The rest of the crowd agreed with the mare.

"That's because you got a little bit of a fever, the other sign for the Feather Flu is diarrhea…does any of you have that?" It took some time but then most of the ponies started to move around like they did have diarrhea, this made them panic some more when Twilight had to calm them back down. "That is not even part of the Feather Flu!"

"Then how did 86 Pegasus get the Feather Flu then?" One pony objected.

"There was only eight, but some pony's in Green Plains where doing stuff that they were not supposed to be doing, got sick, and had to get taken over to the Pony Hospital in Ponyville, the rest of you took it the wrong way!" The rest of the pony's started to feel there symptoms slowly going away as Twilight talk some more. "It's a scientific fact that if you believe you have this symptoms, then you will start to act like you have the disease, every single pony in this town thought they had the disease and that was how all of you guys all got sick, because you all thought you were going to die, but no pony had died from the Feather Flu, it only makes you sick, but not enough to kill some pony."

Concoction was going on in the crowd, what Twilight was saying was making since, then…what about Thunderlane? Rumble spoke for his older brother. "Is my brother OK?" There was a cough coming from the back of the crowd, as the Pony's made a hall Rumble eyes widen, it was Thunderlane! "Brother!" said the little filly as he ran over to his older brother.

"Got to love charcoaled, being burn at night wouldn't you say so Rumble?" Thnuderlane said with a cough as he held his brother tight. "I told you that I wasn't going to break my promise Rumble."

Rumble held his brother tight then remembered something, the promise that he made for Scootaloo! Without saying a word Rumble broke free from his brother's arm and ran over to where Scootaloo was still at. When he got there he was happy to see her still there with a smile on her face as he arrived. "It's ok Scootaloo, the Feather Flu is over now…we won." Scootaloo cough a little, too weak to lift her head she just smiled and closed her eyes thankful that their lives will go back to normal now.

One month later the lifestyle in Ponyville had gotten back to normal and Green Cloud got his medical linseed taken away for getting so many ponies' sick in Green Plains. In the classroom Scootaloo did not sat next to Rumble, she sat in the front with the rest of her friends, Diamond Terraria and Silver Spoon still blame Scootaloo for the disease, and Thunderlane made a full recovery, no pony died because of the Feather Flu, but it was a very value lesson that most ponies are not going to forget anytime soon.
