CHAPTER TWO: THE PREMONITION

The Gala was going great until somepony accidentally spilled his drink on the stereo system. Everyone turned their attention to the stage as Princess Celestia walked up to the microphone.

"Welcome everypony to the Grand Galloping Gala! I hope everypony is having a wonderful time this evening." said Princess Celestia. Everypony cheered for her and she stepped off the stage. Everypony went back to what they were doing when all of a sudden, the stereo lit on fire and nopony noticed.

It wasn't until the fire started to spread was when somepony noticed the fire.

"Fire!" somepony shouted. They all turned their attention to the fire spreading.

Derpy ran off to get some water. But she just grabbed the first thing she saw, which was a can of gasoline.

"This will do the trick," said Derpy confidently. She ran to the fire and started to pour it on the roaring fire.

"Derpy no! That is gaso-" was all Rainbow Dash could say before she saw her friend pour the gasoline on the fire. The fire grew bigger and spread faster, engulfing Derpy. Everypony started to panic and tried to run to the door. The fire then spread to the kitchen where there was a gas pipe was leaking.

While they all ran for the door, the kitchen exploded, causing the roof to start to collapse. The roof then blocked the door so they were all trapped in the building. Twilight tried to find her friends in the large crowd. She spotted Rainbow Dash kneeling down next to the burnt Derpy.

"Rainbow, come on! We have to get out of here!" shouted Twilight. Rainbow shed a tear and stood up. She nodded and joined Twilight to try to find their friends.

"There is Pinkie!" Twilight shouted to Rainbow. They tried to shout out to her, but the screaming of the scared crowd of ponies was to overwhelming. Then some of the roof fell on a loose floorboard that sent a flag pole toward Pinkie. She then was stabbed in the chest, dying instantly. Twilight and Rainbow couldn't believe that they witnessed their best friend's death.

"Rainbow, go try to find an another way out!" shouted Twilight. Rainbow nodded and bolted off. Twilight then continued her desperate search for her friends before anything else happens.

"Spike! Help!" shouted Rarity. Twilight turned to Rarity and Spike. Rarity had her leg stuck under some debris. Spike tried to get it off but it was too heavy. The roof above the two started to crack.

"Just go Spike! Leave me!" pleaded Rarity knowing the inevitable.

"No! Rarity I am not leaving you because… because," Spike argued.

"Because why!" Rarity questioned. Spike simply replied by kissing her. Twilight didn't believe what she saw. She tried to make her way over to them to help Rarity, but the crowd was overwhelming. Twilight then saw the roof above the two start to fall. Twilight then acted quickly by using her magic to hold up the roof. Then their kiss ended.

"Wow, Spike I never knew," Rarity said shocked. Spike looked down in disappointment, thinking Rarity was about to reject him. But, Rarity then pulled him in for another kiss. Spike was surprised, but returned it. It was then Twilight couldn't hold it up much longer and let it go. The two were then crushed.

Twilight then started to tear up, but then heard the cry of Applejack. She was trying to clear the way of the door. But, the floor under the blockade gave away, taking Applejack with it. She ended up underneath the wreckage with only a hoof sticking out. Twilight was feeling so useless, watching all her friends die.

"There is another way out up stairs!" Rainbow shouted returning from her search.

"Ok, the only ones that are left of our friends are you, me, and Fluttershy," Twilight replied. They both then gave a worried look.

"FLUTTERSHY!" they both screamed in realization that they did not find her yet. Rainbow flew up and couldn't see her in the crowd.

"She is either dead, or outside!" she shouted to Twilight.

"The way out is up here!" shouted Rainbow as she picked up Twilight and flew up stairs. They flew up to a window where they saw Fluttershy outside trying to play with some animals, but failing like last time. There was another explosion that sent a stereo set out the window toward Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash tried to warn her of the projectile.

"Huh," Fluttershy turned around in just enough time to see a stereo hurtling toward her. She didn't have enough time to react, therefore crushing her in the garden. But the animals then started to come out of their hiding spots.

" I am out of here! Come on Twilight!" Rainbow then grabbed Twilight and flew out the window. She flew about 50 feet above the wreckage. But as the building was finally collapsing, one last explosion blasted a shard of metal toward the ponies, decapitating Rainbow Dash.

"No! Rainbow Dash!" Twilight screamed as they both plummeted to the ground. Twilight then closed her eyes as she fell to the ground, snapping her neck. She opened her eyes and she was at the party, everyone was alive and the party was fine. Princess Celestia was just about to walk up on stage.

'It was all a dream, no one died and everyone is fine.' Twilight thought.

"Welcome everypony to the Grand Galloping Gala! I hope you all are having a wonderful time this evening," said Princess Celestia. They all cheered for her as she stepped off the stage. This is exactly what happened in Twilight's dream. She started to panic and ran up to the microphone.

"Hello attention everypony! We all need to get out of here as fast as we can, the whole building is going to collapse!" Twilight shouted. They all started to look at each other in worry.

"Oh she is just messing with us, right Twilight?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"No we are all going to die!" Twilight started to shout. Applejack then ran up as fast as she could to the microphone and apologized.

"Sorry everypony, she might just need some fresh air," Applejack said in the microphone as she started to push her off the stage before she could say anything else.

"NO, you have to believe me, you are all going to die!," Twilight shouted as she was shoved out the door. Rainbow then helped Applejack push Twilight out to the garden. Derpy then followed Rainbow out because of her curiosity.

"Come on, lets go check on her," Spike told Rarity with a worried tone. They rushed out the door after their friends.

"Hey why am I missing out on all the fun?" Pinkie complained as she hopped out the door. Applejack and Rainbow Dash finally got Twilight outside and into the garden where Fluttershy was desperately trying to catch creatures again.

"Why are you all out here? The party is in there" Fluttershy asked, a little agitated.

"Why don't you ask Twilight here, what did happen in there, sugarcube?" asked Applejack.

"I had like a 'dream' and saw the building collapse, killing us all," Twilight explained.

"If it was just a dream, then why are you so worried, darling?" Rarity asked. Twilight then explained everything that happened in her dream, excluding the part about Spike and Rarity kissing. She also explained their deaths in the dream and how thee events were starting to repeat. After she was done explaining, her friends gave her a strange look. Rainbow Dash was about to say something, but there was an explosion that interrupted her. They all stood there with surprised looks as the building collapsed and the stereo was heading toward them like in her 'dream'.

"Hit the deck!" Pinkie Pie Screamed. They all ran except for Derpy, who tripped over a rock and was crushed by the stereo. They all surrounded her and just looked at Twilight, who had a worried look.

"How did you know?" asked Spike.
