Speed Forgotten

Pinkie Pie's funeral, every pony in Ponyville made it there, even the Princess' made it. Twilight Sparkle was upset; she had lost a friend, the pony that taught her to laugh in the face of her fears, and always made her laugh. All the ponies said amazing things about Pinkie. Rainbow Dash's was very touching, every pony was crying. Twilight seemed to not of remembered that it was her that killed Pinkie Pie. When Pinkie was laid for her final rest, every pony went home, all but Rainbow Dash.

"Goodbye Pinkie, I'll miss you." Rainbow cried.

By then everything was quiet. Without Pinkie Pie keeping the smiles alive, Ponyville turned quiet. The ponies didn't smile at all after her death. But after that day, everything returned to some what normal. No pony had seen Rainbow Dash in a very long time. She was still grieving about Pinkie's death. Then, night fall came. The pain came again in Twilight, she was changing again. And her new target, Rainbow Dash. She headed straight for Rainbow's place. She slowly tip toed into her home.

"Rainbow Dash, it's me." Twilight said imitating Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie?" Rainbow asked speeding down the hall.

She saw Twilight down the hall with a bloody knife held by her magic, the horn color wasn't the same. Then she remembered that the knife that Twilight was holding, was the same weapon that killed Pinkie.

"You killed Pinkie Pie?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Why yes, I can't believe you figured that out! And guess who's next?" Twilight teased.

Rainbow Dash tried to fly away, but she waited too late. Twilight stepped on Rainbow's wing, taking that same blow, Rainbow Dash was gone. Seconds later, Twilight returned to normal from the sun. She saw Rainbow Dash on her hooves, dead.

"How did I end up here? How do I make it here at the times of their deaths?" Twilight asked herself.

Torn Dresses

Rainbow Dash's funeral, all her friends came and said a few words. The tears fell all on that day. Hearts were shattered, dreams were crushed. All thanks to Twilight, who still had no clue what was going on. The Pegasus ponies were all having trouble clearing the sky, without their captain. The Wonderbolt's came, which was a surprise, Rainbow wasn't really a Wonderbolt yet. Spitfire said a few words about Rainbow Dash, how great of a cadet she was. And how she showed what Wonderbolt's really were, the best of the best, and pushing themselves in the right direction. Even Soarin said a few things, mainly about Rainbow Dash saving his pie at the gala. When Rainbow Dash was put to her final sleep, every pony left without their tears. But Applejack stayed behind, Scootaloo was there too. They had to grieve about that one pony that ment a lot to them.

A few days later, Twilight went to go visit Rarity. The gala was coming up and Twilight was invited again. Her friends that were left didn't want to go. Especially what had happened the last time they were there.

"Hey Rarity, can you make me a new dress. In memory of Rainbow Dash. Just something that she would enjoy." Twilight said.

"I don't think you would like what Rainbow Dash liked. It typically not something I would imagine you in." Rarity explained.

"Can't we just give it a chance, for Rainbow's sake?"

"Alright, I'll give it a chance."

Rarity didn't hesitate to make the dress for Twilight. She sowed the fabrics together. Until she finished it; the dress was beautiful, but Twilight needed to be there for the final fitting. She put the dress on and showed it to Rarity. It looked goofy on her, Rarity couldn't help but laugh.

"Rarity, why are you laughing?!" Twilight asked loudly.

"I'm sorry Twilight dear, but the dress looks ridiculous on you!" Rarity kept laughing.

Twilight started to get annoyed, she took the dress off, and trotted home. She was so mad, Rarity would laugh at this thing that ment so much to Twilight.

I hope something happens to her tonight. Twilight whispered to herself.

She still had no clue that it was her that killed all of them. Luna raised the moon, right on schedule. Playing a song for Rainbow's death. Every pony loved Rainbow Dash, today was the day, Rainbow Dash years ago, proved that the sonic rainboom wasn't an old mare's tale. She was going to do it for some pony special. But that didn't happen, she couldn't attend. Twilight painfully changed again, she galloped towards the Carousel Boutique. Rarity was sound asleep, until she heard the silent tip toeing of hooves in the store.

"Sweetie Belle, go back to bed!" Rarity called.

"It's not me." Sweetie Belle said as she looked up at Rarity.

" If you aren't up? Some pony must be inside. Stay here, don't move no matter what."

"Ok."

Rarity got up and looked out her bedroom door. In the distance she saw a glowing green horn.

"Who are you?!" Rarity yelled.

"Why Rarity your up. You remember that dress you made me. I think it might need a little something extra. Something that Rainbow Dash has." Twilight answered.

"What is it Twilight, I have sparkles and other various things. What all do you need?"

"Blood. Your blood. She would of always wanted that. blood on her dress."

"Rainbow Dash never wanted blood. Wait, you killed Rainbow?"

"Why yes, she died with no cry. Such a shame."

And with that big butcher's knife, Twilight pounced on Rarity. She was dead. Celestia raised the sun. Twilight returned to normal and looked down. The white fur was red now.

"How does this keep happening!" Twilight screamed.

Sliced Apples

After Rarity's funeral, Twilight went back to her lab, trying to figure out how she always ended up at the time her friends were killed. The it came to mind, her potion.

"I took a sip of it, and it didn't work for psychological, but maybe every night, I'm changing. And the last pony I see, is the one that is killed that day. It's me! I'm the murderer!" Twilight thought.

At that moment Applejack trotts in with a basket filled to the top with apples. She still seemed depressed.

"Applejack, stay away!" Twilight yelled.

"What's wrong sugar cube? Somethin' seemes to be botherin' ya. Tell me, what's wrong?" Applejack asked.

"I believe I'm the pony who has been killing the others."

" Ah' don't believe ya Twilight, a pony like you would never want to hurt her friends."

"Just wait Applejack, you'll see that something is very wrong!"

Applejack wouldn't see because she was the last pony Twilight saw all day. When Luna raised the moon, Twilight changed again, heading straight for Sweet Apple Acres. Click, went the door of the farm house.

"Who's there!" Applejack yelled.

"Did you hear that?" Applebloom asked.

"Yeup." Big Macintosh answered.

"I'll go down stairs, Big Mac look up here with Applebloom." Applejack ordered.

"Yeup." Big Mac said.

"Okay." Applebloom answered.

Big Mac and Applebloom went down the hall and Applejack went down the stairs towards the noise.

"Hello? Is any pony down here?" Applejack asked.

Applejack slowly turned the corner and saw Twilight with a glowing green horn.

"It was you." Applejack said.

Twilight didn't answer, she took the butcher's knife and killed Applejack with that blow. Celestia raised the sun at the moment, Twilight changed and saw Applejack on the ground, dead.

"Big Mac! Applebloom!" Twilight called.

Big Macintosh and Applebloom ran towards Twilight and saw Applejack's orange fur, redish.

"Applejack? Is she?" Applebloom asked Big Mac.

"Yeup." Big Mac said, with a depressed tone to it. He was lost.

Dead Butterflies

Applejack's funeral, the entire Apple family came. Apple Fritter, Caramel Apple, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Babs, and many others. The Princesses came along to the funeral. Twilight had lost 4 out of the 5 she had. Only Twilight and Fluttershy remained.

"I can't believe that all of our friends our gone. Who would do such a thing?" Fluttershy asked Twilight.

"I know, but I don't know who would do it. But at least we still have each other." Twilight answered.

But in the back of Twilight's mind, she was thinking about her potion.

"I'm sorry Fluttershy, I have to go. Spike might need my help doing something." Twilight said.

Twilight galloped away.

She must be really sad about losing almost all her friends. Twilight thought.

Once she had arrived at her home, Spike was in the corner thinking about Applejack.

"Spike! I need your help. I need to find a book that has the potion I made." Twilight called.

"Ok, I'm looking." Spike said.

Both Twilight and Spike looked around the entire library. Spike found it in another shelf, where it should of not of been.

"Twilight!" Spike called.

"Oh thanks Spike. I'll be in my lab if you need me." Twilight said taking the book away.

Spike sat back down and grieved. But Twilight couldn't find her answer. Luna raised the moon, just in the nick if time; Twilight changed. She went to Fluttershy's cottage. Once Twilight had arrived, Angel was awake and saw Twilight. Fluttershy was asleep nearby. Angel ran into Fluttershy's room and tried to warn her.

"That's silly Angel, Twilight wouldn't be here at this time of night." Fluttershy said.

But Twilight managed to find Fluttershy's room, she calls as she opens the door, "Fluttershy; It's me Twilight! I need a little something."

"Hey Twilight. What do you need?" Fluttershy asked.

Twilight held out the Butcher's knife, and looked at her.

"Twilight, what's going on?" Fluttershy asked.

Twilight didn't answer, she took that butcher's knife; tackling Fluttershy. Killing her.

"No, no. Not again!" Twilight screamed.

Losing Harmony (Or So They Thought)

At Shinning Armor's funeral, many tears fell in Equestria. Royalty was killed; this killing was getting out of hoof. Princess Cadance couldn't hold her tears back, she lost her husband. Twilight wasn't feeling any better, she lost her BBBFF. Twilight knew that it was all her fault. Shinning Armor evidentally didn't get a chance to tell her what was wrong. Twilight didn't want to tell her. She didn't want to lose her her favorite Foal- Sitter.

I have to tell Celestia before it's too late! Twilight said to herself.

Twilight took the last train to Canterlot before the sun went down.

"Hey Princess Twilight. What are you doing here?" Celestia asked.

" I, I came to tell you that about my friends dying is all my fault. You see, I created this potion that would switch a psychco pony into a normal tempered pony. But there was a flaw to the potion, it is altered. So if the normal tempered pony drank it, it would become a murderer at night. I took a sip of the potion. And I didn't realize it was me until Rarity was dead. I need you help! I don't know how I can change the potion! Please Celestia I need your help?!" Twilight begged.

"I'll help, but in the meantime, go to the reassesses of the castle. When I finish, I'll come to you to try and change you back."

One of Celestia's guards took Twilight underneath the castle. Celestia started working. Moments later, Luna raised the moon. Thankfully Twilight was already in the cell. She changed, she banged on the bars where she was. Celestia got down there as fast as she could trying to save her beloved student. Celestia shoved the potion down Twilight's throat. Twilight fell to the cell floor, her eyes changing purple color. Twilight was who she was once again. She was the Twilight that every pony knew and loved.

"Twilight? Are you alright?" Celestia asked.

"I feel normal, but my friends. They are all still dead. And it's all because of me. I changed my life, all thanks to my smart self. I guess I'm not as smart as I really think I am." Twilight cried.

"Twilight. You haven't lost them all. Cast this spell, round up the elements of harmony, "

Celestia placed the elements of harmony in a circle around Twilight. Twilight put on her crown, and casts the spell. The elements circled around her, then above her head as they glew. She struggled to cast the spell. Seconds later, Twilight dropped to the ground. Eyes closed and tears in her eyes.

"Twilight?" a familiar voice said.

"Fluttershy?" Twilight said.

Together in the End

Twilight opened her eyes, seeing Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Shinning Armor.

"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! It's; it's!" Twilight said running into her friends, giving them a hug.

"Wait? That spell, how come I had never heard about it?" Twilight asked.

"Luna and I only use the spell if need be." Celestia answered.

"Thank you Celestia. If you can excuse me, I'm going to finish my visit in Ponyville with my friends."

Twilight left the castle with her friends by her side. Shinning Armor went home. The ponies in Ponyville saw Twilight with the same ponies that had been murdered. They all thought they were there to haunt them all. Twilight explained the situation. They understood and life returned to normal in Ponyville. Pinkie continued to smile. Rainbow Dash was ordering the pegasi in Ponyville. Rarity continued to make dresses. Fluttershy returned to her animals, and Applejack returned to the farm. That day, Friendship continued to be magic. In the hearts of them all.

Deflated Balloons

Twilight Sparkle was in the recesses of her home making a potion. It would change psychotic pony into a normal tempered pony. But there was a catch unknown by her; the potion would alter if the normal tempered pony drank the potion. She had a psychotic pony in the room with her as a test subject. She learned how to make potions by watching Zecora make them for others.

Pinkie Pie bounced into the room eying Twilight, then asking, "Whatchya doing Twilight?"

"Oh hey Pinkie, I'm working on a new potion that would change a psychotic pony into a normal tempered pony. Psychological is here to help test the potion; he really wants to be change. I think that's what he said. Anyways, in 3 seconds flat, he will change." Twilight answered.

"Oh. Is there a flavor to it?"

"What?"

"You know flavor, the bubblegum taste or cherry. Or, or, or, mm, cupcake?"

"I know what flavor is, I'm a genius! Geez, but no there is no flavor."

"Then he might not drink it."

"Why not?"

"Because it has no flavor, silly."

Twilight didn't pay any attention, she grabbed a small glass and put it up the Psychological's mouth. He drank the potion, but nothing happened.

"What the? When Zecora does potions they always work." Twilight said astonished.

She took a sip of the potion to see if it would work. Nothing happened still.

"Is is a dead end?" Pinkie asked.

"I guess; oh well, I'll try it again. You better go now, I have alot of work to do."

Pinkie bounced out of the room, disappearing into the horizon. The sun was setting as Princess Luna raised the moon.

"It's been a long day; why don't I just go hit the hay and finish in the morning."

But she stopped for a second. She fell to the floor in pain. She was changing.

"What's happening?!"

Once every pony was sound asleep, Twilight galloped into the night, towards Sugarcube Corner. Twilight's eyes were like sombra's eyes, and her mane was all messed up. She slowly tipped toed into Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie was jolted awake by the small tip toeing of a pony inside the building. She got scared, she grabbed the first item she could find in her room. (cupcake) Then she called out to the noise, "Hello? Is any pony here?"

"Ha ha ha." Twilight laughed.

Pinkie entered a hallway and saw a small light. It was green and sinister looking. Then as she looked closer, a figure appeared. It was a shape she had know, but there was something wrong.

"Who are you and what are you doing in Twilight's body?!" Pinkie yelled.

Twilight pulled out a butchers knife and lunged toward Pinkie Pie.

"AH!" Pinkie screamed.

With one hard blow, Pinkie was dead. Celestia raised the sun as Pinkie's life force died. Twilight changed back with not as much pain changing. She looked down and saw blood on the floor.

"Pinkie?"

Deafeted Warrior

At Fluttershy's funeral, not many ponies had shown up to the funeral; but all the animals went.

" Are you okay Twilight?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Not really, I'm really going to miss my friends." Twilight answered.

" I would too. But I understand what you mean."

But Celestia was too late, Twilight had walked away. The pain of losing her friends was too hard. She couldn't take the heartache alone. She felt like she needed to see her older brother, maybe he had an idea. Maybe he could help. Twilight took the first train to the crystal empire. Princess Cadance was there at the front gate. Twilight trotted up to Cadance, giving her a hug, but then headed straight for the castle. She trotted towards the back of the castle where there was a white stallion yelling orders.

"Shinning Armor." Twilight said trotting up to the white stallion.

"Hey Twily. What's up? I heard about the recent killings. I'm sorry for your loss. Why are you here?" Shinning Armor asked.

"I just wanted to get away and talk to you about it. I have no one to talk to anymore because of me."

"What do you mean?"

"The killings that have happened in Ponyville of my friends, it was all me! I created this potion that would change a psycho pony into a normal tempered pony. But I took a sip of it and every night, I would lose my mind and when Celestia would raise the sun, I wouldn't remember a thing. Is there any way that I could stay here?"

"Yeah you can stay. SCHONDREL!"

"Yes sir." Schondrel anwsered.

"Take Princess Twilight to the spare room." Shinning Armor ordered.

"Yes sir!"

Schondrel tapped Twilight on the shoulder and took her to the spare room in the castle. Cadance stoppped them on the way.

"Hey Twilight. Where are you going?" Cadance asked.

"Shinning Armor ordered Schondrel to take me to the spare room." Twilight answered.

"Go on ahead Schondrel and go back to work. I'll take her."

"Yes your highness." Schondrel sadi.

"I heard about your friends." Cadance said.

" That's what Shinning Armor said. Ask him about the whole thing, He'll tell you." Twilight said.

Cadance and Twilight didn't talk the rest of the way. They made it into the spare room, Cadance walked away. That night, Shinning Armor came into the room, Twilight was still awake.

"Hey Twily. I'm going to bed, it's probably best that you do too." Shinning Armor said.

" I can't go to sleep. I'll just stay awake. But could you stay in here with me. Keeping me contained in here so I don't go kill any pony else?" Twilight asked.

" I will. Good night Twily."

Shinning Armor went to sleep on the bed in the room. When Luna raised the moon. Twilight changed painfully again.

"No!" Twilight said before she changed.

"Twily?!" Shinning Armor said tackling Twilight.

But Shinning made a pretty bad move. Twilight used her magic holding the butcher's knife.

"Twilight No!" Shinning screamed.

With the faithful blow, Shinning Armor was dead. Celestia raised the sun, Cadance ran inside eyeing Twilight and Shinning Armor.

"Twilight? What happened?" Cadance asked.
