Dear diary,

I got up very early today for a morning walk. It was a beautiful day, better than the storm we had a few days ago. There was no clouds in the sky. Spike said it could have been because Rainbow Dash got up early to clear the sky. That lead me to think that Spike hadn't been observing Rainbow's personality. I can't believe that he thought that the lazy, rainbow coloured pony would do something as fast as she could. Like Rainbow Dash cared about the sky. She just wants a few bits for tonnes of litres of cider. I'm surprised she even puts effort into her job at all. I walked into the centre of Ponyville to find that the place was completely deserted. Spike thought it was zombie ponies. He had been going on about zombie ponies ever since he saw that performance at Ponyville school. The only reason he went was because Rarity was going, and because of that, he's been scared since. I looked around and the only movement I saw was Pinkie Pie, waving us over to Sugar Cube Corner.

Once inside, we found out that something could of gotten us, according to Pinkie Pie anyway. Spike thought it was zombie ponies, he obviously wasn't getting it into his mind that they didn't exist. But it got weirder. Pinkie Pie believed him. I couldn't believe the stupidity. But it was Pinkie Pie, and I had to remember to go along with it. I proceeded to ask her why she was alone in the dark. She said she wasn't. It turns out, through out the entire conversation, the other four of my friends had been looking over my shoulder like creeps. But the question still stood. I asked them what they were all doing in the dark. They pointed out that they were hiding from a figure outside. A hooded, four legged figure with glowing yellow eyes. Even I started to think it was a zombie pony, but I didn't want to armpit it to Spike. The figure looked over at us, all of my friends hid behind the walls of the building. Apple Bloom asked me if I saw her. She said her name was Zecora. Applejack told Apple Bloom of for saying the name. It seemed Zecora's name was treated like the fictional character, Voldemort. Things were getting stranger and stranger, and we're going to get even stranger. Applejack said that she was protecting Apple Bloom from her, but I didn't understand why. Maybe she was a sick minded pony who liked fillies in "that way". My friends said she was evil and spooky, they described her as a gothic pony. But because I was probably the only pony with common sense in the room, I knew it wasn't for that reason. We looked out of the window again, Zecora was digging the ground for some unknown reason. Zecora put her hood down and everypony gasped... Again... Rarity pointed out that her stripes were horrible. Only she would hate somepony for their appearance. It was obvious to me that none of my friends had heard of Zecora's species. I explained to them that Zecora was a zebra. A pony like species that come from a far away land. I also explained to Rarity that the stripes Zecora had were not a fashion choice, but what she was born with. She fainted. I wanted to slap her for being so rude. Applejack explained to me that she lived in the everfree forest. We all know what it's like in there. I guess that none of my friends knew that not everything in the everfree forest was evil. Well... Some things weren't evil. Pinkie Pie said she wrote a song about her. If it's one thing I hate about Pinkie Pie, it's her bad songs. I asked them why they thought she was evil. My friends said she comes into Ponyville once a month and lurks around and starts digging the ground. Not very scary. Apple Bloom spoke up and said that she might just wanted to me neighbourly. Finally, a pony with some common sense. A small filly was making more sense than a bunch of adult ponies. Applejack told her off and told her to let the "big ponies" talk. Apple Bloom walked off while we all discussed Zecora's actions. After the discussion, we soon noticed that Apple Bloom had gone. The debate finally stopped and we went to find Apple Bloom. I couldn't believe it, we were doing something that made sense today. My friends are stupid sometimes. I didn't see why Zecora was evil. I'm my mind, it felt like another racism thing. First the cows and now the zebras.

We left Sugar Cube Corner and ran in the direction that we thought she went. We guessed the everfree forest, since she wanted to prove that she was a "big pony" and that she wanted to prove that Zecora wasn't evil. We went after her straight away.

We reached the edge of the everfree forest and saw Apple Bloom in the distance with Zecora not so far ahead. Applejack told her to get back. Zecora turned round and told us something about the flowers we were standing in, telling us to beware. Even though I hadn't met Zecora and had notepad to trust her, I was sure that had to mean something. I didn't really understand what she was saying because it was all in rhyme. Must be a zebra thing. But still, I found the way she spoke weird and entertaining. Everypony still thought that Zecora was evil and started to say that she could of put a curse on Apple Bloom. I tired to explain that curses weren't real, but Rainbow Dash wasn't taking anything I was saying into her mind. Celestia, she was ignorant sometimes.

Later that night I had dreams about what my friends said about Zecora, it irritated me, but I got through the night with no harm. I knew these things that were being rumoured around my group of friends wasn't true. Until I woke up in the morning...

In the morning I woke up with a mane as messy as Pinkie Pie's. I started to joke about it and laughed about how Zecora could of cursed my mane. In other words I had bed hair. The worst thing in the morning. I fixed my mane and my horn was visible once again. Then I realised it... For some reason it has blue spots all over it and was as flexible as Pinkie Pie's neck. Of corse, I panicked. I ran down to my library to find a cure. I checked ever book I had, but I couldn't find a cure. Spike suggested a curse. Ugh! He was so gullible. Zombie ponies and now curses. I really need to teach him to not believe everything he hears. He handed me a book about curses. I refused it and told him that the book is just a load of lies. I turned round and saw Pinkie Pie with a scowled tongue with the same spots on it. She also was spitting a lot, giving Spike a shower. He was drenched after Pinkie Pie tried to speak. It was hilarious. Then, Rainbow Dash (Crash) smashed through my wall, literally, and landed on a pile of books. She also believed it was a curse. But what I don't understand is, if you believe that you have something wrong with your wings , why don't you just not fly? It would make more sense. Then Rarity walked in with a really, and I really messy mane and fur coat. But it serves her right for what she said about Zecora's stripes. Then Applejack managed to get in without anypony knowing. Mainly because this "curse" had made her as small as a mouse. Compared to Apple Bloom, Apple Bloom was the big pony now. But everypony seemed fine accept Fluttershy. We thought she was fine, until she spoke. I don't know how, I thought it was impossible, but this "curse" had given Fluttershy a voice that was deeper and more satisfying than Morgan Freeman's. And it just got more embarrassing when Spike started to make fun of us and given us new names related to our symptoms. I swear, when he started to tease us, I felt like using my magic to turn him back into and egg that couldn't be escaped, so he would be trapped for ever in his own egg. After the ridiculous insults, we noticed that Applejack and Apple Bloom had gone. We started checking if anypony had stepped on her or sat on her. At the corner of my eye, I saw Spike giggle again after I said that somepony might of sat on her. We decided to go find them.

We went to the everfree forest, because that's where Apple Bloom went last time. We reached Zecora's house and somehow lost Rainbow Dash on the way. We looked in the window as Zecora just entered the room, she was making some kind of soup or a potion of some kind. But our surroundings started to say things about her and I started to think she really was bad. We overheard her say something about her soup and Apple Bloom. I really did think she was making an Apple Bloom soup. It was true, she was bad. We screamed and panicked. Then out of nowhere, Rainbow Dash and Applejack came flying towards us from the sky. They landed inside Zecora's house and destroyed the place, including the soup. That meant Apple Bloom wouldn't be cooked. We faced Zecora and all of the odds were against her. We accused her of doing these things to us. Then she explained everything when Apple Bloom walked in. The reason that these things happened to us was because of the blue flowers we stepped in. We found out that they were called Poison Joke, and they make you look or sound ridiculous from what you wouldn't like that the plants would find funny. And that the brew she was making was actually a cure for us. I then found out that there was a cure for Poison Joke. It was in a book that Spike handed to me that I refused to look at. Maybe I should listen to him once in a while. I felt so stupid and also feel so bad.

Zecora took us all to Ponyville spa where we got cured and lucky for Zecora, the spa ponies wanted the brew because it could be used as a relaxing thing. Pretty soon we were back to our normal selves. There was a few things that I didn't get to see, which was a shame but I couldn't. First thing, I wanted Fluttershy's new voice to stay because it was so... Cool. The second thing was that I didn't want Pinkie Pie to be cured because it would stop her from singing. Peace at last. But it had to be cured. And the third and final thing I wanted to see was Applejack, being sat on. I would find that extremely funny. But not only that, but I have decided to start an Anti Racism group. To stop all racism of all creatures of Equestria. It's called the E.A.R.G. It stands for The Equestrian Anti Racism Group.

Afterword.

It's been one week later and no pony has signed up for the E.A.R.G. Maybe I am taking this to my head. Just because Ponyville thinks that something is creepy or scary, doesn't mean they're racist towards them. Therefor, I have decided to retire the E.A.R.G.
