Pinkie Pie began making the short trek to her cottage near Sugar Cube Corner from the hospital, but as she was walking through the streets of Ponyville many a foal and filly started staring at her bare flank and unusual hair style.

A filly walked up to the peculiar looking Pinkie and asked "Pinkie, what happened to your hair, and your cutie mark, it's gone.". Pinkie stared at the filly, but did not answer and continued walking toward her cottage. As she trudged toward her cottage all the filly did was stared at Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie Pie finally made it back to her cottage and the first thing she noticed was the thick smell in the air of blood and sweat from the other day, but she did not care. She slowly made her way into her bedroom and saw the pools of dried blood mixed with the sweat and tears of a more innocent Pinkie Pie. Pinkie simply changed the sheets and tossed the old ones into a heap on the floor and laid down.

While Pinkie Pie was laying down she began to think,"What can I do? I can't kill any pony, but if I don't, these nightmares won't stop, and if these nightmares don't stop then these wounds could keep appearing, and I definitely don't want that. Ok, I will kill a pony, but my friends are out of the question I love them too much to hurt them let alone kill them. Alright let's see there is always that new pony that moved in down the street." Pinkie begins to cry,"No! I can't do that, but I have to, some pony has to die. Yeah I'll kill that pony it's not like I know him, yeah, yeah I will invite him over for dinner tomorrow night and poison his food or decapitate him something painless, so he doesn't have to suffer".

Pinkie began walking down the desolate street and noticed a shadow slip into an alleyway in between her cottage and Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie followed and saw a faceless pony it stared at Pinkie and began to slowly creep toward it. Inch by inch, foot by foot, it inched toward Pinkie who was paralyzed in fear. The horrific being stood inches away from Pinkie's face and spoke even though it didn't have a mouth.

It said "Fear not, for I am not the demon you should fear".

Pinkie relaxed until she felt the lukewarm breath of another pony going down her neck and the words "But I am".

Pinkie Pie woke up shivering and sweating, but still more tranquil than she had been the past few nights she had nightmares. She stood up and started hyperventilating as she remembered the voice that had been revealed behind her in her nightmare.

Pinkie Pie started thinking "That voice in my nightmare it sounded familiar", her pupils began to dilate "the voice was me!".

Pinkie Pie now started to lose her cool, took a few deep breaths and walked out side to invite the new pony to his last supper.

Pinkie left her cottage and began walking to the new ponies' residence when she remembered she no longer had her cutie mark, but she knew she just had to suck it up and make her way to invite the pony to his ultimate destruction.

"This is wrong," Pinkie thought as she reached the pony's front door, "I can't do this, he has just every right to live as I do".

Right as Pinkie turned around she heard a voice.

"Don't turn around, do what you have to do, I mean what is he to you, nothing! He is just a random pony who moved into town, no family and no friends, no one would miss him, and as long as you dispose of him properly no pony would ever know,"thought Pinkie.

"I, I couldn't that pony has never done anything to me, why should I kill him, it is just wrong and disgusting. I can't, how would I do it anyway, I couldn't decapitate him because well I just couldn't, torture is way out of the question, I don't think I could bring myself to poisoning his food, well I don't think I could kill him by any means", thought Pinkie".

"Listen to me! you are going to kill that pony, whether you do it today, tomorrow, or next year, but your nightmares will never stop unless you spill blood. All you have to do is use a common kitchen knife and slit his pathetic throat, it is not a problem, do this and perhaps your nightmares will end," thought Pinkie.

"OK," thought Pinkie "I will invite him over for dinner and end his life, but I will do it quickly, just slit his throat, yeah that will work. All I have to do is that, and he won't suffer all that much and then these nightmares might finally subside".

Pinkie Pie knocked on the door and moments later a young male earth pony answered the door. He had brown fur and a black mane, his cutie mark was of an electric guitar.

The colt said with an innocent grin on his face "Hello there, I am new in town but you probably knew that, what is your name?"

Pinkie Pie replied in an unusually timid manner "My name is Pinkie Pie, and I thought I would invite you over to my cottage for dinner tonight, I like to meet all the new residents of Ponyville". She attempted to say this with a smile but it wavered in its intensity.

The colt replied "I would love to, my name is Black Melody by the way, but most ponies just call Melody. Where do you live anyway"?

Pinkie Pie gave the Melody directions and said "Please be there around seven."

Melody nodded and said "Goodbye." and went inside.

When Pinkie returned to her cottage she laid down on her floor and began to plan the night.

"OK, Pinkie you need to think, how exactly are you going to do this, ok I guess I could sneak up behind him while he is eating and just stab him from there, no what if he looks behind him and sees me with the knife that would never work. I could always drug his food and kill him while he is out, yeah that will work I just need to go make something, oh I bet Twilight has a book on making sleeping drugs I will go talk to her".

Pinkie rushed over to Twilight's home and frantically knocked on her door for she knew she was short on time.

Twilight answered the door and saw a worried looking Pinkie Pie, and asked "Hey Pinkie, what has you looking so worried?"

Pinkie replied "Nothing much," and faked a smile "I was wondering if you had any chemistry books preferably something that might have recipes for things that could cause numbness and drowsiness."

Twilight said "OK Pinkie, I think I have what you want." Twilight produced a large brown book with a bookmark in it, "why do you want this anyway?"

"I guess I have just taken a sudden interest in chemistry, and well I guess it could be fun to start here," lied Pinkie as she tried to feign happiness.

Pinkie took the book and raced back to her cottage, plopped the book down on her dinner table, and opened to the page with the book mark on it. She began reading and found an easy recipe for a numbing solution that is made from basic house hold chemicals.

Pinkie Pie quickly got to work, she mixed bleach, some salt, and a bit nitrous oxide, and put the creation into some plastic containers that had lain around. She then began to cook dinner for the clock read six and she had no time to spare.

Pinkie decided to just make a simple salad and through the ingredients together and set the table, but on Melody's salad was the numbing solution.

Melody was very punctual in his endeavors and arrived exactly at seven. Pinkie opened the door and saw the earth pony smiling, she invited him in and he sat down around the table where his food had been placed. Pinkie adjacent to him occasionally taking a bite, but more so waiting for him to take his first.

Melody finally took a bite of his salad, and almost instantly he went unconscious. Pinkie rushed into the kitchen to get a knife, and came back to see Melody's eyes closed. He looked so peaceful like he didn't have a care in the world, but Pinkie had to do this she knew she had to.

Pinkie slowly walked behind him and said "Sorry," and she slit the young pony's throat, the smell was disgusting and blood was slowly dripping out of the large wound that had just opened.

Pinkie began crying and she instantly regret what she had done, but she began to smile when she realized that tonight she may be able to have a night's rest without a horrible nightmare.
