Brownies - Zara

It had literally took Zara a whole week for her to journey through the Netherlands and it's deserts. Zara had felt hot and heavy, her feet almost swelling up due to the days of walking. Zara panted and finally found a large tree of shade in the grassy area. It was breezy and nice. She sat herself down underneath the large shade to where the green leaves had covered.

"Zara, are you alright?" Bender sounded soft in his voice.

"Yeah, I am alright. I think I brought some water for me, want some?" She asked, turning her head to the doll.

"No. I can't drink, remember?" Bender said with concern.

"Shoot. Oh well, more for me." Zara giggled a bit and took out a purple container with water in it, starting to drink it.

As she was still drinking, Bender stated "We should take a small nap for about thirty minutes." and continued his statement, "We are only half way to Ponyville."

Zara let out a loud pant from her drinking, and said "But, Bender... I'm not sleepy!" she argued.

"Zara. All little special ponies need their sleep. Especially ones who have a gift." Bender turned his head towards her, sending a shiver down her spine.

She scoffed in annoyance, "Fine then. I'll take a stupid nap."

Zara twisted the cap back on the water container, and set it back into her bag. Sighing, starting to position herself to sleep. All she could hear was the wind rustling through the trees. and water sounds. She was on her own now, unaware of what would happen. Her eyes became much more heavy as she heard more and more of peaceful nature.

Zara had awoken up to a sound of thumping againist the tree, her eyes darting to a mysterious pony, she suddenly jolting straight up at the other pony. This pony was orange, she also had a blonde mane which there was a small ponytail in the back it was barely noticable, her eye color was a jade green, and wore a brown hat. She was using her might, kicking the tree with her back hooves, making the red apples drop down to the ground.

Zara blinked, having Bender aside her, and slowly approaching the pony.

"Oh Howdy! Didn't see y'all there!" she greeted her with a smile, her voice was southern. "What's your name, sugarcube?" she asked with that same smile. "Scar- I mean, Zara." Zara slowly said. "Applejack is my name. Apples are my speciality!" she gleefully had chirped in her southern voice. "Where'd you come from? Manehattan?" Applejack started to walk towards her as Zara uncomfortably stepped back a bit.

"Uh, WONDERFREE." she clearly said with a nervous smile. "WONDERFREE? Where in the hay would that be?" Applejack blinked, cocking her head a bit. Zara had stayed silent for over two minutes, her gaze was looking down. "Well, if y'all don't wanna answer, I am okay with that." Applejack kinda frowned as Zara was just staring there in silence absentmindedly.

The way Zara was standing was scary... she was zoning out, her eyes became dull just so lifeless, just staring on the ground. Applejack just got chills down her, blinking, waiting for her to answer.

She finally did answer back with a question, "Can you tell me where's Ponyville from here?", "I need to arrive there." she continued. Applejack smiled again, "Sure, follow me Zara." Applejack trotted her way through millions of apple trees as Zara followed.

Finally, they reached a large town with very vibrant shades of yellow, blue and pink where presented in it's buildings. Very few of signs were posted on some buildings, trees, and carts containing the words "missing" or "lost, please bring home." Zara shrugged the feeling off of this town becoming slowly a ghost town for later on, just like WONDERFREE. Zara smiled devilishly at the fact that it was going to be one, in just a year or two.

"Well, we are here! Just to let y'all know about this town is that some ponies became missin' Applejack continued on, "So, just be careful now. Are you alright on by yourself, sugarcube?" she looked back at Zara, blinking with concern, "Yeah, I am alright with it." Zara was looking at the ground again, her hooves slowly rocking back and forth at the dirt, forming dust clouds. "Take care now." Applejack took off trotting back to Sweet Apple Acres. Zara noticed that there was still a lot of ponies out walking, chatting up whatever it was.

Zara sighed, moving on towards a small empty tree house with clear glass windows and a door entrance. She was stopped by a bouncy pink pony with a cutie mark that had three balloons on her flanks, her hair was pink and funny looking, and her eyes seemed to show a icy blue. "Hiya purple friend!" she nearly shouted into her ear. "You must be new here in Ponyville!! I'm Pinkie Pie, what's yours?!" she was jumping up and down in excitement, Zara's eyes following her up and down. "I'm Zara." she looked away, continuing to walk into the house, but Pinkie followed her in.

"Zara!! Why don't you come down to Sugarcube Corner?! We have CUPCAKES!!" Pinkie was still hopping around the place. "Oh, sorry Pinkie...I'm not in the mood for cupcakes.." Zara rubbed her hoof. Pinkie gasped and asked, "Don't you like cupcakes?!"
"I like brownies better. But, I am not hungry.." Zara sat down on the floor. "That's okay!! Just come down to the corner at 4 PM!" Pinkie happily bounced out the door.

Zara looked around her surroundings, seeing numerous books on the shelf. She didn't have time to read since she was always thinking. She looked at the grandfather clock, making a chiming noise at 4 PM. Oddly enough, Zara walked herself down to the Sugarcube Corner. "Hi!! Zara's here!!" Pinkie jumped up and down again in excitement.

Zara began to notice a foul smell lingering from within the basement, but kept quiet about it. She knew it was rotten flesh, somehow it's smell made it way to the surface.

Zara sat down directly on the floor, seeing five more other ponies of different shades of color enter the room. One pony had lavender colored fur, a short sleek silver grey mane, she also had sun yellow eyes to match with it, her cutie mark was in the shape of a gold nugget. The pony next to her had dark grey fur, with a midnight blue mane which almost reached the floor, her eyes had shadows that seemed sunken in, which told Zara she was mentally strained, her color of the eyes was a swamp green, and her cutie mark was a lock located on her flank.
Zara darted her eyes onto the last pony of grey color who had a geode for a cutie mark, her mane was a darker grey, it was draped over like a curtain, a pair of violet eyes that seemed piercing through the soul, which also matched some of her cutie mark, and finally her hide color was a plain light grey. Her look was just as imitating as Zara's.

The other two seemed harmless since one was a filly, and the other one had a yellow mane and eyes that went tospy turvy, her fur color was also grey, and her eyes was also a yellow. The little filly had red hair, yellow furred skin, with a pink bow in her hair. She seemed like she hasn't received her own cutie mark yet. Zara sighed, and felt like she could relate too.

"I wanted you to meet Minkie, Inkie, Blinkie, Applebloom and Derpy!" Pinkie smiled as Zara perked her head up at the odd names given to these ponies.

Zara blinked, unsure of what would happen now.
