"Rainbow, NO!"
>Butterscotch yelled as the zombified hooves of his friend grabbed onto his flanks
>"Oh come on, Scotch!"
>Dash let her wings go limp, crashing into her friend
>her dead weight made the stallion topple to the ground with her
"NO, please!"
>he started thrashing about, trying to shake the mare off
>but her front legs were wrapped around his midsection
>Butterscotch ceases his attempts at escape
>he covered his head with his hooves
>ready to accept his fate
>
>he felt her hooves release from around him
>Wait, this is his chance!
>he quickly rolled onto his back, preparing to kick his formerly alive friend and make a break for it
>a weight sat onto his chest, eliciting a small squeak from within him
>"Oh, Butterscotch..."
>he looked into the dull pinkish eyes of the mare as she crawled up his body

>Butterscotch opened one eye and looked down at the zombie mare on top of him
"um, Rainbow..."
>"Yes?" she answered, one of her hooves toying with his ear
"I don't think we can... you know..."
>his voice went to a whisper
"do it."
>Dash's eyes shot open in surprise
>"Why not? Is it because I'm a little dirty, cause I can-"
"No."
>the stallion cut her off, pointing down at her lower body
"It's because you, um, seem to have lost your back half"
>the mare's head spun around to see that right below her wings, where her hips would start, was nothing
>her lower body had fallen off at some point
>"oh..."
