Frivolity

Previous Chapter

The obnoxious sound of party music rang in Twilight's ears. Twilight slowly opened her tired eyes, she was barely alive as she rose. She slowly awoke, albeit with weakness, she looked around herself with a haze in her confused sight. It turned out that she was in a kid's table, she saw a teddy bear with a top-hat and cane, a set of grey rocks with a party hat. Twilight felt her torso tighten, she turned her head to notice that she strapped in a black ribbon on a child's chair.

The Black Ribbon looked so delicate that she thought she could probably break free from its tightened hold. Twilight shook with all her might and pressed her muscles to flex and tear the ribbons. It was not enough, so Twilight took the chance to survey her surroundings. She looked around the room to find a very generic layout of paintings with flowers and some brown cupboards which were astonishingly placed on the ceiling. She looked towards the table, she saw a set of complementary forks and knifes right next to a silver plate with a design that was the same as that mares cutie mark right on the middle.

Twilight bit down on a butter knife and began to saw in to the black ribbon. As if alive, the ribbon screeched in whispered moans of insufferable suffering. As Twilight continued to cut away by The Black Ribbon on her right flank, the screeches of pain would heighten in to unbearable sound waves. Gritting her teeth, Twilight cut the last thread, ending the screeching and granting her new freedom. The ribbon slid off, slinking in to the ground, it became bleach white and screamed a low moan.

Twilight stood from the chair and noticed that she was wearing a fancy costume. She turned her body to look upon the dress. It was white with butterfly like folds on the refined edges. There was a thin, black lining on the border, going all around the beautiful garment. Twilight looked away from the cloth to notice the decadent food on the mahogany table. Sugary cakes with toppings of fruit on top, Muffins buttered and sugar glazing the blueberries baked within.

Twilight leaned very close in a slow, but, cautious fashion. She grabbed a muffin, wrapped in velvet baking paper and smelled the decadent aroma of yummy, blue berries. She opened her mouth, hesitant to quench her furious hunger.

"Stop!" said a deep stallion voice, Twilight turned away from the muffin to find the origin of the sudden sound. She looked around only to find the familiar view of the inanimate objects just sitting there with no lively action.

"Is... Is there somepony there?", Twilight Sparkle awaited a response whilst diligently searching. No response, Twilight became confused by this strange occurrence. Continuing her hungry crusade, Twilight put the questionable muffin near her mouth and slowly ate it.

"No, Don't!". Twilight turned away from the muffin to start her trick. She directed her senses towards the sound and found the living pile of rocks moving on its own. Seeing that he has been found out, the rocks regained their place of being inanimate. That was definitely not going to fool her. She saw the thing with her own pristine eyes. Twilight smiled and moved close to it, as if sweat was pouring from its sides, the pile of rocks shook. Twilight moved behind its chair while silently smirking in her own cleverness.

Twilight stood quietly behind the wooden chair, the rock was shaking harder in anticipation. Twilight quickly turned in towards the rock without it noticing her presence.

"Boo!", The pile of rocks screamed and clumsily fell to the floor. The teddy bear placed his bear hands on to his face in embarrassment. Twilight moved the chair with a spell and looked down on the startled rocks.

"Got ya.", Twilight Sparkle felt an accomplished satisfaction at her oh-so-clever trick.

A distorted and loud noise, it sounded like a dull grunt. The pictures on the walls shook as did the rest of the home. Twilight found comfort in her chair as the shaking continued. The pile of rocks clenched against each other while the teddy bear held to dear life with a fork stabbed into the wooden table. Suddenly, the place settled down. Through the wall in the opposite direction, a figure literally phased through the wall without breaking its surface. It was an equine, pink from head to toe, long dark pink mane flowing voluminously to her waist. A cutie mark of three balloons on her side.

She levitated in the air after exiting the wall, smiling with a toothy grin. The pile of rocks shook nervously, fear clear in its stoney structure. Twilight didn't know what to make of all this, but decided to address her.

"Who are you?" said Twilight Sparkle hesitantly.

The pink pony only smiled with an evil little grin.

"Your my guest for tonight and were going to have so much fun! But, first I have to prepare dinner first.". The Pink Pony materialized a knife to her hoof. Twilight is frightened by the gesture, but got off the chair quickly.

"Where do you think your going!?"

Twilight ran to the door and opened it to find an empty black expanse that led to nowhere. She closed the door before turning and noticing the pink pony flying straight at her. Twilight ran past the crazed equine following her until she realized there was no place to go.

She sat in a corner watching as the entity ready its knife for a stabbing motion. Then, she noticed a hammer sitting, it was the same one from before. Rolling, she grabbed the hammer and smashed the pink pony, she covered her arms from the blow, but smashed into pieces like glass. Suddenly everything started to flicker, one second the little room they were all in would be the same, next it would vanish within a second. It picked up pace before it finally disappeared completely. Twilight screamed as she fell through the abyss, the fear of darkness and falling was all she had before it all went dark.
