The crash landing was harder than the ponies expected, after all, they had just gotten out of a wormhole, a really strong wormhole, fortunately, they didn't attain much injury save for some bruises and scrapes, Twinkle groaned as she slowly rose from the ground
Twinkle Star: Is everypony okay
Hurricane waved his hoof in the air as he grunted
Hurricane: We're okay, we're okay
When everypony got up, Beauty embraced her sister
Beauty: Snow Gem, thank goodness we saved you
Rock Salt: I'm pretty sure she saved us
Sunshine: Again
Apple Blossom: But what about Equestria, is it safe, too
Before anypony could respond, Gemstone spoke while pointing up to the sky
Gemstone: Guys, look
They all looked upwards and were surprised to see the sky being cloudy
Snow Gem fretted: Oh no, oh no, oh no, what if erasing that tornado wasn't enough to stop the winter from coming
Shining Shield: I was wondering exactly what day you erased, I knew you couldn't have just picked any day while knowing it could do great harm
Snow Gem: Of course, erasing that tornado might've saved many ponies and their homes
Beauty smiled: I knew you were all good, sis
Fire Spark: Yeah, just one quick question, where exactly are we
They looked all around the wide, barren plain until Sprinkle jumped up
Sprinkle Pie: Ooh, ooh, it's the field where we always play outside of Ponyville
The cousins were agape as they realized she was right
Golden Arrow: You might be right, Sprinkle, I think it is the exact same field where we had picnics growing up
Twinkle Star: But why are there no flowers
Screwball inspected the dirt: And why is the ground so, dry
Apple Jewel: But the snow hasn't even come yet, why would the field be so dead if there's no snow
Shining Shield put a hoof to his chin
Shining Shield: Hmm, that's a very good question, maybe we should head to Ponyville to find out
The rest of the ponies agreed with him
When they got to town, they couldn't help but notice that the atmosphere was a bit, dismal, the townsponies went about their day, but were less enthusiastic than usual, there was no lively chatter, only soft murmurs here and there, to the royals, everything seemed grayer now
Hurricane: Oh-kay, why is Ponyville acting strange all of a sudden
Gemstone: There's definitely less ponies here than there should be
Rock Salt spoke as he pointed to something
Rock Salt: I think it might have something to do with those foreclosed homes
The royals looked to where he was pointing and gasped, there were indeed many empty and boarded-up homes on every street, when they all ran to one of the houses, Arrow exclaimed
Golden Arrow: But I don't understand, Mother created a fund to save houses from foreclosure, did something go terribly amiss that she never told us about
