[Zombie stories aren't really something unknown to Equestria. But it did take a few hours before Applejack could recognize a human zombie from the normal drones. The snapping and trying to eat her helped though.

So Applejack has been back at the house now trying to figure out what best to do. The fact that the zombies can't seem to make it to the house makes her think she should start getting others inside here to be safe, but it probably wouldn't be a good idea to do so on her own. Much as she hated to admit it, she probably should get some help.

Which means asking a housemate to come with her to track down her friends and others. Maybe Theo can be convinced to help since....he's....gleefully laughing as some zombies slap themselves over and over? Is he making them do that?

Next time Theo steps inside to get some components and heads out, a pony is blocking the door with a determined look on her face.]

Ah need to ask you some questions, Theo, but right now, Ah more worried about mah friends and Ah could use your help to go get them.
