Theres an outbreak in Ponyville. So far, its only there. The Crystal Empire, Cloudsdale and Everfree forest seem to be untouched. Of course, Zecora is aware and currently working on a cure. Cloudsdale is aware, but they're in the air, saving them from the infection. The Crystal Empire, though, is unaware. Sadly, Princess Celestia and Luna are also unaware, as they had left for vacation in the Crystal Empire to discuss and catch up with Princess Cadence and Shining Armor.

The infection itself wasnt harmful. But the apple family had the biggest risk to infection, so they're staying in Raritys boutique, thanks to her generosity. Besides, the two fillys get to play with eachother. Back on track! The outbreak. It seems to be some sort of... fruit bat infection. Which, of course, isnt harmful to them because fruit bats don't bite. But, the infection spreads through food. Not every pony wants to throughly wash their food, but if they dont, they turn into a fruit bat. And it wouldnt be AS bad, if their bodies could handle it. Without the help of magic, they're bodies will start to decay and rot after a few weeks of being a bat, eventually getting aggressive and dangerous.

Which is why everypony is staying inside their homes. Except when the Mane 6 suddenly.. dissappear. Applejack was going to the Apple farm for something Applebloom forgot, Rarity said she was going to the shops to get more gems, because in her words 'nothing can stop her from being fashionable'. Some stores are open, but close very early. Before dawn type of early. Rainbow Dash was staying up in Cloudsdale, but left for an unknown reason. Scootaloo seemed to know.. but she refused to tell any pony on behalf of her sister. Twilight said she was going to try and message Celestia, but dissappeared out of nowhere. One of Fluttershys animals ran off into the forest, and out of worry, she chased after it, but didn't come back. And lastly, Pinkie Pie. She was going to the store for more baking stuff, and didn't come back to the Cakes house.
