Survival Island

Day 1

It’s the first day of the plane wreck. Pinkie and Rarity are nowhere to be seen. Twilight, Dashie, Fluttershy, and I have all made it. Twilight’s using her remaining power to build a fire. Dashie’s searching for shelter, and Fluttershy’s looking for food. Ditzy drowned. Her wings were too heavy and she was dragged to the bottom. We managed to haul her body out and build her a grave. We’ll take her with us when the rescue plane comes. If it comes.

Day 2

Fluttershy has found some coconuts and berries. Twilight nearly froze to death last night. We can’t afford to lose another one. Dashie made a shelter of sticks. I made some mats out of leaves and some bowls for the food. We’ll eat that tomorrow.

Day 3

Pinkie Pie’s here. We found her in the first few days near a freshwater lake on this barren island. She was wounded. Clear poison was leaking from her arm. Twilight’s aiding her. Ditzy Doo’s grave has been dug. We’ve marked it with stones and a leaf. Fluttershy’s crying. I better check on her.

Day 4

Pinkie’s deathly ill. Twilight’s power is doing little to help. Nopony wants to find meat, being vegetarians or not. Not on this island where we could be killed by our own food. We might have to pull straws. Leaf strips might work.

Day 5

Fluttershy’s going mad. Most of the day she’s huddled in one of the corners of the stick hut muttering to herself about Angel. He’s still safe at Fluttershy’s house. And so is Spike. I’ve set up a small stone SOS signal. Nopony’s rescued us yet. The food supply is running low. We need some meat. We haven’t remembered that we’re ponies and that we don’t eat meat ever since we’ve heard a boar in the distance.

Day 6

We pulled leaf strips. Twilight lost. She’s out in the overgrowth of plants looking for meat. I’m drooling on the leather pocket journal I managed to get from the chunks of plane earlier.

Day 7

Twilight hasn’t come back yet. Rainbow Dash is out looking for her. Pinkie’s well enough to come with me to scavenge the remaining chunks of airplane. Why didn’t we think of this earlier…

Day 8

Twilight’s back. She’s bloody and mauled but she’s got the boar we heard a few days ago. We shall feast on its flesh tonight. Even Fluttershy cheers when she sees the boar. We’ll stuff it with berries and nuts. Pinkie’s almost healthy again. Rarity’s still missing.

Day 9

We’ve sent a search party out for Rarity. Pinkie Pie and I had to stay back at camp. I’ve gathered more berries. We only ate a tiny leg of the boar. Poor Pinkie’s getting worse instead of healthier. I feed her mashed berries through a leaf pipe. That seems to make her feel better.

Day 10

The search party is still out there. I’ve eaten an inch of the boar and given a bit to my only companion at the moment. The poison’s left her but the illness remains. She’s got a virus now. I’ll make her a thicker leaf mat. I made a blanket for her though. Weaving in and out with the strips of leaves like Rarity taught me. Like Rarity taught me…

Day 11

I’m starting to think the search party’s got themselves lost too. I’ve been kicking the only nearby trees with coconuts on them. I need to be more careful. I have a concussion now but I have a cup of coconut juice here beside me. Pinkie’s drinking it with her berries. I can’t even tell if she’s getting better or worse anymore.

Day 12

They’ve come back. All of them. Rarity too. Dashie said they found her unconscious in a pool of blood and clear liquid. She was poisoned too. I’m helping her in the new nursery. She’s a mess, clumps of hair missing and ripped out. How did she get this way?
