After Death

Rainbow Dash darted home as quickly as possible. Her mind was racing. Did she see me? I hope she didn't see me. If she saw me it could ruin everything! She thought as she flew up to her house in the clouds. She fumbled with her keyring, trying to find the proper key in the dark. After a few failed attempts of trying to unlock her front door with multiple wrong keys, she tried the right key. Dash swung open the door, removed the key from the keyhole and turned and locked the door behind her. Dash rocketed up the steps to her bedroom, and more importantly, her dresser.

Having just found the key that would open the secrect compartment in one of her dresser drawers, she was thinking about how excited she was. She couldn't feel most emotions unless they were very strong, since she didn't have a heart anymore. She hurridly opened the drawer and whipped the right key out of hiding behind her other keys. She always knew which one it was; when the two keys were being made, she had asked for one to be dyed bright cyan like her coat, and the other be dyed a magnificent shade of magenta like her eyes, so she could always tell the two keys from the others.

She smiled as she stuck the key in the key hole and turned it to the right. Suddenly, the key stopped moving.

Rainbow Dash frowned. "What the hay?" She said to herself. She tried to turn the key back into it's upright position, but to no avail. "Come on... just a little more force and maybe... GAAH!" Dash stumbled back a few steps as the key suddenly snapped in half in her hooves. "Oh no no no no NO!" She righted herself and rushed towards her dresser, placing both fore hooves on the edges on the open drawer as she reached it.

"Oh buck..." Rainbow Dash cursed under her breath. She tried to turn the part of the key that was still stuck in the keyhole. She fidgited with it. After many failed attempts to get the key unstuck, it moved. Just the tinyest bit, but it moved. Noticing this, the cyan pegasus fidgited with it some more, watching as half of the key became looser and looser, until it finally came out all the way.

Dash sighed with relief. She snuch a peek at the clock, and took notice that it was quarter of midnight. She turned back to the two bits of the broken key before her. She tossed the upper half over her shoulder, as it would be of no further use to her. She began to focus on the task at hand. Rainbow Dash stuck the key back in the keyhole, but this time she turned it to the left, then back to the right, then to the left again. Having very sharp senses, she heard the familiar soft click of the locks unlocking. She pulled out the key and layed atop her dresser. Rainbow Dash gently tugged on the wooden handle of the secrect compartment, and it opened. She smiled.

As she gazed into the compartment that no one but herself knew about, her smiled getting wider by the second. After a few moments of thoughtful staring, her smile looked sinister and evil, with a dash of insanity. Dash reached into the secret compartment with both of her hooves.

She pulled out two CZ 75 SP-01 pistols.
