Day Four: Rescue

Previous Chapter

Dear Diary,

I couldn't. I thought I could end a pony's life. What's wrong with me? Am I some kind of animal?

___________________________________________________________________________

Twilight had retreated to her own camp. She had given up on her friends. They didn't even notice she was gone. That really hurt. What if...

That was it! Twilight had a brilliant idea to get back in with her friends. The batteries from the emergency radio could be salvaged and put back into the mobile phone! It was brilliant! Twilight gave herself a pat on the back for coming up with the idea.

Twilight rushed over to the original camp. Pinkie wasn't there. She was probably out looking for food. Around the camp, Pinkie had fashioned a fence made out of spears she had carved. Twilight entered the camp slowly. She approached Fluttershy. "Fluttershy." She whispered. Fluttershy jumped a little, hearing Twilight's voice. "I need your help Fluttershy. Do you still have the emergency radio?"

"Well...Yes, but it's broken."

"Where is it?"

"Right here."

"Open it up."

"Why?"

"I need the batteries."

"Are...are you gonna call for help?"

"Yeah. Remember the mobile phone we found? And how it needed batteries?"

"Yeah! Here, take them. We can finally go home!"

Twilight heard a different voice. "We can."

Twilight turned to see the pink pony. "Pinkie, I-"

"I told you to leave. This is our mobile phone. These are our batteries. THIS IS OUR ESCAPE!"

"Pinkie...what are you saying?"

"I'm saying find your own way off. You're dead to me."

Fluttershy meekly defended Twilight "But Pinkie...she's our friend."

"Not anymore. If you try to help her again, you're staying here too."

Fluttershy shut up. Twilight was going to be left here. Nopony could help her.

"Hey! Buck off!" Rainbow Dash had woken up. She had heard Pinkie's threats, and didn't like them.

"Rainbow Dash! You're alright!"

"Don't play dumb, I heard everything." Rainbow began speaking with a threatening tone "I think maybe we should leave without you."

"You're kidding! Why would anypony leave without good ol' lovable Pinkie Pie?"

"I'm serious. Twilight, do you have anything you need to retrieve before we dump this bright pink bitch?"

Twilight responded "Yeah. I don't think I'm gonna leave her with my knife."

Twilight began galloping towards her camp. She ran across the sand, occasionally looking back to make sure that RD and Fluttershy were okay. Twilight arrived at her camp and retrieved some food and her knife. The sun glinted off a glass bottle. Twilight picked up the bottle in frustration and threw it into the ocean. Satisfied with herself, she returned to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

She galloped excitedly. We're going home she thought. When she arrived at the camp, Fluttershy was crying and Rainbow Dash had a sort of flabbergasted look on her face. Twilight wondered what was wrong. When she approached the trio, Pinkie grinned at her. "We made the call Twilight."

"Really?"

"Yep! I called them and impersonated a fishing pony." She began to do the impression "'You guys know about that plane crash, right? I just drove past the crash site. It don't look like there was any survivors.'" Pinkie began giggling.

"Pinkie! You screwed over everypony! Nopony can get off the island now, they think we're all dead!"

"I know! Isn't it great? Spending the rest of our natural lives together. One big, injured, scarred, and broken family. Oh yeah, and dead. I forgot about Rarity." she whispered to the sky "Sorry Rarity. Still friends? Great!"

"Where did the phone go?"

"The ocean! It looked awfully parched, so is sent it for a swim!"

Twilight was now also flabbergasted. Pinkie had betrayed everypony to get back at Twilight. This was all Twilight's fault. No, Twilight thought I'm done taking the blame. This is HER fault!. In a fit of rage, Twilight raised the knife and plunged it into Pinkie's eye. Pinkie's body spasmed as she bled to death. The shocked look in her eyes, that took the cake. She didn't even see it coming. Twilight rolled the body towards the ocean and gave her one final sendoff. Pinkie's body floated away.

Rainbow Dash called out to Twilight "Look! A fishing boat!". Twilight turned around and saw a fishing boat, passing their camp. The captain saw them and stopped. "Are you all survivors of that crash!?" he yelled at the top of his lungs. Twilight replied "Yes! Can you help us!? We have injured!"

"I'm coming!"

Twilight was then smiling harder than ever before. She galloped over to Fluttershy. "Hey Fluttershy, one quick thing, what's wrong with Applejack?" she said, motioning to the now unconscious farmer.

"Oh umm...Pinkie...hit her with a stick...and knocked her out..."

"Oh." Twilight said, stunned. "Can you help me move her?"

"Yes." Fluttershy approached the farmer, but then asked Rainbow Dash "Can you walk?"

"I might just need to lean on somepony."

"Then let's go." Fluttershy had picked up Applejack with Twilight and had scooted closer to Rainbow so she could lean against her. Rainbow, Twilight, Applejack, and Fluttershy all headed towards the beach, where the fisherman had gotten close enough for them to board. They got on the boat and thanked the captain. He nodded his head and returned to the steering wheel. They lurched forward and off towards the maneland.

Dear Diary,

We are going home. We return with two less friends, but one of those could not be helped. I regret killing Pinkie, but maybe it was the right thing to do. She had been different, she may have broke. I don't know for sure, but now I never will. I can live with the guilt. I wont be telling anypony what really happened.
