Pinkie Pie has passed away in the night, leaving all of her friends devastated. As Pinkie always wanted to see her friends happy, she didn't want any of her friends to see her lifeless corpse, nor did she want the details of her death widespread, as she thought it would sadden too many ponies beyond belief,

Twilight Sparkle was the first to get the news, as she is the nearest princess.

"WHAT!" Twilight exclaimed upon hearing the news, accidentally waking Spike, as it was only six thirty A.M. "Thank you, detective- What was it again?"

"Gumshoe." the detective replied.

At that moment a purple and green dragon came downstairs to see a detective speaking with Twilight.

"Thank you, Detective Gumshoe, and have a nice day." Twilight said solemnly.

"You too, princess, and I am sorry about it happening this way." detective Gumshoe said before leaving.

After the door shut, Twilight turned around and started to walk upstairs without lifting her gaze from the floor.

"What was that all about, and why do you look so sad?" Spike asked.

"I'll tell you later, Spike, just, just go back to bed."

"What about my chores?" Spike asked.

"Just go back to bed Spike. I need to think."

A few hours passed and Spike got up again. "Get started on your chores, and cook breakfast for five. I'll be back in around forty-five minutes with some friends." said Twilight just as sad as before.


About fifty minutes later, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash come to the library to see Spike offering them breakfast. As the five ponies and the dragon eat their food, Rainbow Dash asks "Where is Pinkie Pie at?"

Twilight responded "That's why I brought you all here. You see, Pinkie, well, she passed away last night."

"WHAT!" four of the ponies and the dragon yelled in unison.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. When Twilight answered the door, she saw a dark green unicorn known as detective Gumshoe.

"Detective Gumshoe, hello."

"I came by to inform you that your friend will not have a real funeral, or a funeral at all."

"I can understand why she wouldn't want a funeral, but can we at least see her one last time."

"I'm sorry pal, but she has already been buried at the Ponyville cemetery."

"What about an autopsy report?"

"I can do that." said Gumshoe and handed the princess a copy of the autopsy report.

Twilight Sparkle opened up the envelope and pulled out a single sheet of paper and read aloud to the shocked audience "Name: Pinkemena Diane Pie  Time of death: In the night of April 22  Cause of death: A single clean slice in the front of the neck-"

"WHAT!" the six simultaneously yelled.
