Dear Journal,

I've decided that if Ponyville is gonna stay like this for a long time, I should write. You know, in case anypony finds me or something. But with the huge mess going on right now, I don't think that's gonna happen. So here we go, my name is Scootaloo, I'm a young school filly. I'm all alone right now, but that's okay, cuz' I'm tough! Like Rainbow Dash! I'm sure wherever Rainbow Dash is, she's doing awesome! I bet she's fighting her way through a million of those capitol ponies! That'll show them not to mess with Rainbow Dash! Or maybe she's in Ponyville's defense, yea, kicking flank all over the place... I miss her.

Dear Journal,

I didn't sleep well last night, I kept hearing little booms behind me. They're not scary after awhile but some of them are really loud and sound like their close. For now, I sleep in the foundations of and old concrete building. Probably knocked over by one of the capitol's machines. I see them sometimes outside, they make a lot of noise so their pretty easy to see coming. If you don't see them though... I've seen ponies get sucked up like a vacuum into these tank-truck things! That's why most of us are hiding, we don't know where the ponies who get caught go, and I do not want to find out!

Dear Journal,

I saw a pony today with a radio, what a great idea! Radios will help me sleep! Like I've said, catching a wink of sleep here is a bit difficult. Not only do you have to worry about the capitol ponies, but ponies are willing to kill you to get your things. Just a few days ago, I found a a smaller filly in my box! I had to chase her off. Sorry kid, but it's a dog eat dog world. Luckily she didn't take anything, I stopped her before she could. Theirs nothing worth stealing in their anyway. Just a few pieces of metal and rubber for some reason. I keep most of my valuable stuff like my picture of Rainbow Dash with me in my saddle bags, it's even signed by her. I hope she's okay. So far, I've been doing pretty well on my own! I've managed to stay hidden for pretty long now. Although, I might also be under watch. When I saw the mare with the radio, they were talking about "Spy ponies" or something. I better get my cutie mark out of all this.

Dear Journal,

A few ponies flew over head this morning and theirs been a lot of shouting. Mostly stallion voices but I did hear a foal cry. If he's doing alright, then I'll be just fine. I'm so happy! I found a bag of marshmallows today just outside. I love marshmallows! The crusaders and I used to always camp outside AppleBloom's barn and BigMac would bring us marshmallows to roast. That was always the most fun.... I'm going to bed now... night.

Dear Journal,

I saw more ponies fly above today in the same direction. Where are they going? Are they evacuating the city? I can't fly, how am I supposed to get out? I'm scared now. Maybe if I walk far enough In that direction I'll find the way out. That seems like a good idea, right? It can't be that far can it, Ponyville is pretty small. But that's not what I'm worried about.
