So Don't Read It.

That means you Scootaloo.

Also give back my scarf; I know you still have it.



Day 47 by CMC reckoning

The CMC tried our hooves at rock-climbing today. I don't see what's dangerous about it, we spent all day climbing on top of the rocks out in the fields behind Appleblooms barn, it was kinda boring. We asked Applejack why anypony would go rock-climbing for fun, she just started laughing at us, I thought it was kinda rude.

Day 48 by CMC reckoning

Silver Spoon threw a muffin at my head today. It bounced off but it didn't really hurt. Still, who throws muffins? Anyway the CMC got together at the clubhouse after school to plan our next sleepover, I wanted to have it at my house but Rarity said no, she's been acting really weird lately, I'm a little worried about her, she hasn't really slept much. Actually I don't remember seeing her sleeping in a while, not since that weird thing happened at Sugarcube Corner. It was pretty cool getting to see Princess Celestia work magic though, I've never seen anything like it!

Day 49 by CMC reckoning

*Nightwatch addendum: Certain of the sentences required reconstruction since water-stains had damaged parts of the page, likely source is tears given source material of the entry*

Rarity yelled at me today, she never yells at me, when she's mad she usually just gets all quiet and tells me to go outside. I'm really worried, I think she should get some rest, I pretended to be asleep last night so I could sneak out and I was right, she's not sleeping, she was drinking that really bad-smelling brown stuff that she keeps in the high shelves of the kitchen. I think she drank the entire bottle, I've never had any but it smells bad enough that I don't think it's good. Went over to Appleblooms for the rest of the day, she wasn't there but Big Macintosh gave me some cider and talked to me, he's a really nice pony.

Day 50 by CMC reckoning

Spent the night at Appleblooms, when I told Applejack what happened she just looked really sad. Why won't adults tell us anything? Anyway she said she'd go talk to Rarity. I told Scootaloo and Applebloom about it, Scootaloo said I should stay away from home for a while. She said that the brown stuff was called whiskey and when adults drink it they get mean and hit stuff. I hope Rarity is ok, she's my sister, Applejack said she'd talk to her though so everything should be ok right?

Day 51 by CMC reckoning

*Nightwatch addendum: This entry is of interest, it may be the first hinting instance of the Event that occurred in Ponyville.*

Applejack came back this morning, she said she talked to Rarity, I went back home but I couldn't find her. I went all over town looking for her but she wasn't anywhere, I even begged Twilight to use a locator spell but it couldn't find her either. I'm worried, what if she left town? Did she leave me behind? Granny Smith said I could stay with them until Rarity showed up to collect me.

Day 52 by CMC reckoning

Rarity came to pick me up last night, she said she was sorry she had been so short with me lately, that she'd been going through some hard things. I'm just glad she's back and ok, she seemed a little strange though, anytime there was quiet it was like she was listening for something I think. She had a scar on her side that I didn't remember being there before, when I asked her about it she got a weird look on her face and told her it was nothing, just an accident. Scootaloo said she'd come by today with Applebloom and we'd do some more crusading, I'm looking forward to it.

Day 53 by CMC reckoning

Tried to ride Scootaloo's scooter but it doesn't really work without wings, I tried to move myself by using my horn but my magic is still weak. We all went down to Fluttershy's again, she's been really nice about letting us stay over there lately, I think she likes the company. She looked a little more jumpy than usual today though. She walked us all home after we spent the day there, I was the last one she dropped off, I saw her staring at Sugarcube Corner from my window after I got in though, she went in for a minute then came racing back out like she was scared or something. I wonder if it's haunted, everyone avoids it now.



*Nightwatch addendum: the following entries from Days "54-60 by CMC reckoning" to use the Diary's vernacular were deemed irrecoverable by our technicians, the following pages were recovered in part however they also bore some irreparable damage. The mark "****" will denote the unreadable sections, Hail Celestia.*



Day 61 b- **** -ckoning

-****- -ity is acting really weird, she's gotten even worse than yesterday, I've only seen her sleep a few times and I'm getting scared, she's been really short tempered lately. I've been spending more time over at Applebloom's, Applejack -****- -ing through a tough time, that we all are since Rainbow Dash passed away in that accident. They never did tell us what happened. Rarity disappeared again last night, I don't know where she goes but she always comes back limping or exhausted or with a new scar. I'm scared.

Day 62 by CMC reckoning

I saw something last night. It scared me more than I've ever been scared before, it felt like my heart was in my throat, I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe. I went down to see if Rarity was going to stay awake all night again, I saw her on the couch, I think she was asleep, but there was somepony else in the room too. I don't know if it was a ma- -****- colt, it was wearing a weird outfit like a dress, only it had wings coming off the back. It was dark so I couldn't see much, the pony just stood there and stared at Rarity. I don't know -****- I felt like if I moved or made a sound that I'd really die. That whoever that pony was they were going to hurt me bad. I think I must have passed out because I remember standing there peaking around the corner for a long time and then the stra- -****- gone.



*Nightwatch Footnote: The rest of the Diary was either illegible due to the damage or contained irrelevant data. The investigation is ongoing concerning the Event, updates will follow as they are uncovered. Hail Celestia.*
