Chapter 4: Steps are taken
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSoon enough, someone started to make copies of that poster. However, the most controversial thing about the copies where that someone had scrawled " SO TRUE!" underneath the curly script message. The posters where everywhere. On the bathroom wall of Sugar Cube corner. In the snack line at the Cloudsdale Colosseum. On the trees of the Everfree forest. Everywhere. Like a parasprite, it spread everywhere. One day, it just happened to be nailed on the sweet apple acres gate when Applejack was wheeling a cart of apples into town. She stared. and stared. and stared a little bit more until a volcano of bubbling rage uproared from within her and she tore the poster off the wood plank with her jaw. She chewed the papery pulp and spat it onto the dirt path, spitting on it and rubbing it into mushy mud with a hoof. She continued on her way, trying to remove the poster from her memory, but all attempts of this failed when she counted 4 more posters just on her way down. When she saw the town plastered with the black-and-white copies, she went at a gallop and bucked down the posters, until she stood in the center of town, panting. She perked her ears up as she heard the angered sound of bickering neighs. A sea of mares and colts where collected in front of town hall, flailing the posters wildly and pounding on the door. The mayor was cowering in the window above, looking down at the crowd with undeniable fear in her eyes. She dashed away from the window and soon the doors creaked open and she shuffled out nervously. " Dearest citizens, I apologize for this advertisement and we will alert the makers right away. Now, carry on calmly and go back to your daily activities. Please." The crowd was not satisfied. Lyra, a mint-colored pony, piped up " What should we do to protect our town from these... these... Forgetfuls? They should not be permitted to ruin our town with their unsanitary oral practices. Bon Bon, Lyra's used to be friend, kicked her and soon the two were brawling in the mud like common hooligans. This was a sad sight for anyone who knew Lyra and Bon Bon as the pair was nearly inseparable. Questions continued to pound at the Mayor's skull until she finally said everything would be resolved tomorrow.
It was later reported a tan mare with a silvery mane was seen hitching a ride on a caravan out of town.
The results were catastrophic .
