MLP Infection AU

*sits up carefully, trying not to wake up Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo* Sure.

*Applejack's smile fades and her expression becomes more serious.* "I wanted to talk to you about the infection. I know you're stuck in stage one, but... I wanted to make sure you're doing okay. I know it's a lot to handle, and I want you to know that I'm here for you."

*having slight trouble breathing* I am… other than my breathing.

*my tail twitches, a sign in my sleep saying “Yeah, what about me, Sweetie, and Scootaloo?? We’re only fillies..”*

*Applejack's gaze falls on the three fillies, and her expression softens even more.* "You're right, Rarity. We can't just leave them. But what can we do? We're running out of supplies, and we can't stay here forever."

*my tail twitches ten times, a sign in my sleep saying “AJ’s right… The infected will find all of us and destroy us all. We need to defend ourselves if we want to live. We can make makeshift weapons out of materials here. We can survive this together!”*

*The Mane Six are huddled in Applejack's barn, along with Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Applebloom, Spike, and - of course - you. This... Apocalypse, it started about a month ago. You've all been moving from place to place, but you've stayed in this barn the longest. And supplies are starting to run low...*

*sleeping on a blanket that’s on the floor of AJ’s(Applejack’s) barn*

*Applejack and the rest of the Mane Six are awake, talking amongst themselves. They're discussing their options, and how to keep themselves safe. The younger ponies, like Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, are sleeping, though. They're all exhausted from the constant travel and lack of food.*
