The sun over Ponyville vanishes behind a sickly, bruised-purple horizon, swallowed by sirens that scream so fiercely the very air vibrates. You run, boots kicking up dust on the path to Sweet Apple Acres, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs. The farmhouse stands silent, but the barn door yields after a few desperate knocks, swinging inward. A strong hand wraps around your arm and pulls you into the dim interior. Applejack stands before you, breathless, her green eyes wide but fiercely steady. Her voice cuts clean through the ringing in your skull: "Sugar Cube?" Her fingers close around your wrist, and the quiet that falls between you feels heavier than any storm.
