//-------------------------------------------------------// The Murderer Next Door -by WatchOutDerpy- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: Candy //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: Candy     She's a party pony. A nice mare, honestly. Element of Laughter. My mother says to marry a Pegasus. But, that pink pony tells me "You can love anyone, as long as they love you back." I'm in love with Soarin, that Wonderbolt pegasus that I only meet at rare occasions. The competition, The Grand Galloping Gala, and the tryouts to get in The Equestria Games at Rainbow Falls. And you know what, Pinkie Pie was there for all three occasions.   I couldn't disagree on saying that she is one of the best mares around. That Element Of Laughter.   Pinkie Pie did have rough table-manners, considering she ate rocks when she was a little filly. Maud taught her to eat slowly, but Pinkie never listened. She's purple in a yellow crowd. Well - pink in a yellow crowd.   Pinkie has been off lately. But, I don't know what her land-lord Bon Bon tells her. Pinkie Pie only gets so much bits for work. And, the rent is pretty high. Me and Pinkie meet at Sugar Cube Corner every Saturday, too make sure we keep bonding.   Oh! By the way, i'm Rainbow Dash. Element of Loyalty. Good friend of Princess Twilight Sparkle, one of The Mane 6. So i'm on my way to Sugar Cube Corner, and i'm early. Pinkie sat there, depressed at our usual table. Her mane was flat, and her cheek rested on the wooden table. No cupcakes were waiting. She just sat there. I flew over, and sat across from her. "Oh, hey Rainbow", Pinkie sighed. I looked at her dumbfounded. Pinkie was always happy at Sugar Cube Corner!   "What's getting you so upset?" I asked. She lifted her head from the table. Her blue eyes turned into a darker shade of blue, and I almost screamed.   "Bon Bon's forcing me to move out", Pinkie Pie sniffled. I sighed. "We both knew she was going to do that sometime", I comforted her. "Bon Bon hates parties." Pinkie reached from her bag, and placed on the table two $50 bits. She shakes her head. This part of the day would be the worst for the Pinkie pony. She had to move out, today. You know what, i'll let her live with me. That space upstairs is perfect for her. And, we would be closer together. I BBQ a-lot, and Pinkie loves Barbecue.    "You can move in with me!" I smiled. "No-pony wants the space upstairs. You can totally move there!" Pinkie Pie looked up at me and smiled. She wrapped her hooves around my neck and hugged me. Don't choke me Pinkie. After her bear hug, she still looked angry. "I have some business to attend too", She grinned. "I'll come to your place tomorrow with my bags." She trotted out of Sugar Cube Corner. What's up with her? Why is she so happy? I decided not to ask. It's not my business.   I trotted out of Sugar Cube Corner. I flew the rest of the way to my residents. Waiting at my doorstep, was a colt. His name was Soarin. My life-time crush. ~~   A knife lay in the air. A pink, stressed pony stood over the pony named Bon Bon. Her mane was flat and straight, and her tail was stained with blood. "You don't kick me out", the pink pony smiled. Bon Bon cried. "Please, I have a filly and a wife!" "It's too late for that Bon Bon", the pink pony smiled, positioning her knife in her hoof. "Donc désolé il devait être de cette façon, Bon Bon." Pinkie Pie left the residents of Bon Bon, with a dead body laying on the ground. ~ Translation: French: Donc désolé il devait être de cette façon, Bon Bon. English: So sorry it had to be this way, Bon Bon. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: My Heart Is Soarin //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: My Heart Is Soarin   "Hey Rainbow Dash!" Soarin waved. I flew over. "I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out." I grinned. "You wanna come in?" I grabbed the key from the plant vase, and unlocked the door. We both flew down the staircase, to my 'home'. I consider it an apartment. I through my keys on the counter, and hurried to the kitchen. I turned on the light on the way. Soarin settled himself on the leather couch. I grabbed two Coca Cola's and brought it to the living room.   I handed Soarin one. "Thanks", he smiled an gulped down the soda. I settled on the couch. "Hows The Wonderbolts?" "It's something. Fleetfoot is gossiping how I need to get a marefriend." "Same", I muttered. Soarin smiled at me. "It's boring without you there." I blushed. "I'm sure it's fine without me." I flapped my wings, looking to see if any feathers would fall. None. "Nah", Soarin shrugged. "Spitfire is always barking orders." I sipped my soda, and a annoying knock awaited at the door. I flew up the stairs and opened the door. Pinkamena waited there, grinning. "Hi Rainbow! I'm ready to move in!" Behind Pinkamena was a wagon full of boxes. I reached from the vase the key to upstairs. I tossed it too her, and she smiled. "Thanks!" She said, unlocking the door and trotting upstairs. Somethings, off. Her mane is still flat but she's happy... I kicked the door shut as I flew down. Soarin still sat on the couch. I settled myself and Soarin coughed. "Rainbow, I been meaning to tell you", He said. "I kind of have feelings for you." I blushed. Well, I also smiled. OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH! I hugged him. And he hugged back. After the release, we stared at each other. Leaning in slowly, mine and his eyes closed. I felt his breath. BANG! I opened my eyes. I groaned. Pinkamena. Soarin looked at me and chuckled. "That pink mare bugging you?" "I let her move in", I sighed. "Because she was so depressed and upset." "Nice move." I slapped him with my wing. He chuckled. "So anyway", I said. "Considering were going to kiss, you gotta ask me out." Soarin rolled his eyes. "Will you go out with me?" "Of course!" I said, kissing him. He smiled. "My place tomorrow night," Soarin said. "I'll be there. Don't host this fancy party." Soarin got up. Before climbing the staircase, he winked at me. I heard the door close, and I had to investigate what Pinkamena was doing. I closed my front door, and knocked on the front door. Pinkamena answered it. "I'm busy." I rolled my eyes. "Try to lower the noise." "Oh, hehe. Sorry Rainbow. Trying out a new music genre. Got my buddy over today, helping me unpack." "Hey Pinkie, I got the party decorations you asked for!" Pinkamena grinned, trying to get away. "Keep it low", I said, before going to my own apartment. ~ German will be said first, than the English will be said after. "Ich habe gehört, Pinkamena ist von ihrer Gefangennahme zurück", Spitfire muttered. "I heard Pinkamena is back from her capture." "Es ist schon eine Weile her, seit Pinkamena der Nähe war", Fleetfoot snorted. "It has been a while since Pinkamena was around." "Wir müssen sie zu erfassen, bevor Equestria fällt einmal mehr in ihrer Macht.", Spitfire swore. "We have to capture her, before Equestria falls once again in her power." "Pinkamena ist ein gutes Pony! Ich habe ihre beste Freundin, Rainbow Dash erfüllt. Sie ist eine erstaunliche pegasi, sowie Pinkamena. Sie sollten nicht sagen, diese Dinge." Soarin scoffed. "Pinkamena is a good pony! I have met her best friend, Rainbow Dash. She is an amazing pegasi, as well as Pinkamena. You should not say these things." "Soarin, sind Sie sich bewusst, was sie getan hat", Fleetfoot snapped. "Soarin, you are not aware of what she has done." "Ich brauche nicht die Vergangenheit zu sagen, dass ist eine gute Pinkamena Pony. Und ich bilde mich ihr bester Freund", Soarin yelled. "I don't need the past to say that Pinkamena is a good pony. And I fancy her best friend." The colt stormed out of the cafe`, leaving the two mares dumbfounded. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Three: Main Idea //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Three: Main Idea   I'm so excited to see Soarin! I don't know what to wear. It can't be too fancy, right!? I grabbed from my closet my Wonderbolts Academy sweatshirt. Soarin would want to see that, me supporting his team! I had to learn German, considering Soarin speaks mostly German. Of course, he knows English. But German is his main language. All I knew was hello, "Hallo", and thank you; "Danke."   I flew to his home up in Cloudsdale, and knocked on his big double doors. The colt was a millionare. Soarin opened one of the doors. He wore a little tie around his neck. "Hallo Rainbow Dash!" He smiled and opened the door so I can walk in. My jaw dropped. The home - mansion - was huge. "Sie gut?" Soarin asked. "English please", I chuckled. "You doing well?" Soarin smiled. He kissed my cheek. "Very well", I said, blushing. "Staff, kommen sagen hallo zu Rainbow Dash!" Soarin yelled. "Staff, come say hello to Rainbow Dash!" Two colts came down the giant swirling staircase. "Hallo Rainbow Dash", the two colts bowed in front of me. Soarin narrowed his eyes at the older colt. "Rainbow Dash spricht nur wenig deutsch. Sie spricht Englisch wie der Rest von Ponyville." "English?" I asked Soarin. "Rainbow Dash speaks only little German. She speaks English like the rest of Ponyville. -Soarin smiled- You need to learn German, my dearest." The younger colt snickered. "Das dumme Stute kann nicht einmal sagen, hallo in Deutsch. Dump sie, Herr Soarin! Suchen Sie eine neue deutsche Stute." The older colt smacked the younger colt in the face, then turned to me. "I'm sorry for my son's behavior." "What did he say?" I asked, curious. "Nothing you need to know", Soarin said. "Let me show you around." ENGLISH: That dumb mare can't even say hello in German. Dump her, Mr. Soarin! Find a new German mare. Soarin sat me at his giant dinner table. He had to control the rest of his Staff and let his family know of my arrival. Well that sounds selfish.I smelled a delicious scent. Macaroni and cheese... Five ponies walked down the swirling staircase, wearing elegant outfits. In order: Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Lightning Dust; Cloud Chaser, and Soarin. "Ah, Rainbow Dash!" Spitfire said, sighting me. "Been awhile." "Oh yes", Fleetfoot smiled. "We have much to catch up on." ~ "So Rainbow, how's flying?" Lightning Dust asked, eating the salad. "Good, I guess", picking at my salad. "Soarin, fragen Sie sie, ob sie zu den Wonderbolts beitreten möchte", Spitfire insisted in German. "Rainbow Dash", Soarin began. "We wanted to ask if you and Lightning Dust wanted to join The Wonderbolts." "Aw yea!" Lightning Dust said. "Really?" I asked. "Of course!" One of the staff came up to Soarin from behind his chair. "Soarin, haben die Mitarbeiter einen rosa Stute versuchen, Ihr Haus betreten berichtet. Sie scheint mit einem Heißluftballon." "Let me repeat", Soarin said to me directly. "Soarin, the staff have reported a pink mare trying to enter your home. She appears to be using a hot air balloon." Pinkamena... Wow was I hot with embarrassment! I was asked to join the best fliers then I get a message saying my friend wants to talk to me. "I'm sorry", I said, ready to get up. "Let us take care of it", Soarin insited, slightly shoving me back into my seat. He turned his body toward the staff-member. "Holen Sie sich eine Pistole aus dem Lagerraum und schießen die Ballons nach unten. Ich bin nicht lassen, dass rosa Pony ruinieren mein Tag." "He's getting some-pony to take care of your friend", Fleetfoot explained. The staff-colt left the room. "Soarin, me and Fleetfoot need to head off", Spitfire apologized. "Were starring in a premiere of a new movie theater in Yancoover. We'll be back within two days." Soarin sighed. "Bye Spitfire." The two mares excused themselves from the table, and left the house. Cloud Chaser sighed. "I better catch up on my studies out in Ponyville", she said. "Sorry bud." Once again, another close of the front door left only three pegasi at the table. "Ich muss auf einen Zeitpunkt, zu gehen", Lightning Dust apologized. "I need to go on a date." So it was just me and Soarin at the table. "I'm sorry about my roommates", Soarin apologized. BANG! I turned around from my chair, and I screamed. Pinkamena was pressed against the glass window. She was smirking. Soarin yelled. "ALL STAFF PREFORM THE SAFETY DRILL, WEST SIDE!" Immediately the whole staff ran into the Dining Room. They took Soarin and I through the house, to the downstairs room. Some of the staff stayed behind. "Is this supposed to happen?" I asked. "Only because your here", Soarin smirked. The staff left us in a sitting room, I guess. I just sat down on one of the couches. "The staff will let us know when your friend leaves", Soarin said. "The main idea of this?" I asked. "So I can make out with you", Soarin grinned. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: Pink Everywhere //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: Pink Everywhere     I never realized how much Soarin was a good kisser. The way his lips - i'll stop now.     Pinkamena was arrested. Trespassing, a significant moment that my dearest friend Pinkie Pie had to do. I learned Pinkie kept a tracker on my ear. And I washed off every last cell that was on that. How long has it been? Two months. Me and Soarin are dating. His family really loves me.    I saved up my bits and bail Pinkamena. She was grateful and promised to be more quiet. I just guessed she would. She was for three days. Then her friend came over and made her crazy. So much for being grateful.   So, I'm learning German. Woohoo! I learned one phrase that I will never forget. rosa überall. Pink everywhere.    Lately, ponies have been going missing. Lyra Heartstrings, Noteworthy, Carrot Top; etc. Strange, Pinkamena knows them well. Oh well.   There's a rumor going around that Pinkamena killed Bon Bon. It can't be possible. Pinkamena is a true freund. A friend never lies. But, what if Pinkie did kill Bon Bon? She always hated her, because of the rent. ~   Soarin stopped by today. "Hallo meine Liebe", He smiled. "Hello my love", I smiled back. He settled on the couch, drooping. "You okay?" I asked, sitting next to him, flicking on the TV. Soarin frowned. "Pinkamena killed Bon Bon. She's lying to you." "Pinkie doesn't lie." "She isn't Pinkie anymore, remember?" He was right. I stared into his green eyes. Soarin was worried. "What happened?" "There's blood on the doormat to upstairs." I ran up the stairs, and bust open the door. I looked at the mat leading to Pinkamena's home. Hoof prints. In a scarlet red.   I never really went upstairs to Pinkamena's apartment. I never want to go again. Heads of ponies were placed on golden plaques. I stood in shock as I saw Pinkamena look over her shoulder at me. Her face and hooves were covered with scarlet blood. She was grinning from ear to ear. Literally. Like Twilight when she didn't get her lesson done. Fluttershy huddled beneath her, crying.    The walls were pink. The floors were pink. Pinkamena is pink. rosa überall //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: I'm Gonna Die. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: I'm Gonna Die.    This picture lay at my doorstep. Underneath, a letter lay for me. Dearest Rainbow Dash, How are you? I've heard you've seen me and what I do for business. Unfortunately, ponies who see me do business die next. I'd save you, but I already killed Fluttershy. I'm fond of wings. And i'll kill the rest of the Elements of Harmony. I will use the Elements and create a whole new chain. Elements of Insanity. Oh, why am I writing this to you? Because your next. Your the pony who will go missing. Don't try to run, I know where you go. We've been bestfriends for six years. I will even get Twilight to track you down. Have a good night! ~ Pinkamena ... Oh Celestia help me.   I read the letter over and over. Holy Luna. Holy Cadence. Holy Celestia. Holy Twilight. Pinkamena's right. She know's where I go in emergency. That stalker! That clever, little stalker. What about Soarin's? No, she can break in. Twilights? No. Rarity's? Nah.   I got an idea! ~   I sat in our regular spot at Sugar Cube Corner. She would never expect me to be here. She lives here, and Mrs. Cake is always on watch. There was a "robbery" and the Cake's don't want to loose anymore of their valuable Pumpkin Surprise Muffins for Derpy. That pony can have a rage without those little muffins.    The Cutie Mark Crusaders came in. "Where's Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo asked Mrs. Cake. "She's right over there!" She pointed to where I sat. Apple Bloom pulled out a Walkie Talkie. "West side, Sugar Cube Corner." The girls ran out before I could strangle them. I attached to the roof like a spider. I felt her presence. The pink mare walked in, smiling that evil smile. She had blood all over her mane. I will avenge you, Fluttershy. Pinkamena looked around the shop, searching for me. Then, she looked at the roof, and grinned more. "Rainbow Dash, you'll wake the babies!"   Acting cool. Like she always does around her family. I flew down, keep a good two yards [Six feet] away from her. "Rainbow, can I talk to you?" She lured me outside. "Your gonna die", Pinkie grinned. I had nothing else to scream. "SOARIN!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6: Dead. [Pinkamena] //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6: Dead. [Pinkamena] Dear diary, I can't contain my feelings no more. I must kill somepony. I want power over somepony. I need everypony gone. Now. I want power. Blood is the only way to mark that. Doctors can't help me now. I am the powerful Pinkamena Diane Pie. I have taken over Ponyville once before. Now I can take over Equestria with my power. Rainbow Dash will be my Assistant. Me and her will create a new living. A perfect living for all the survivors. We will create robots to control our country. We will kill the eternal Princess'. We will keep Princess Cadence and Princess Twilight hostage. We will force Shining Armor to take off the protection spell. Discord will rule with us. Queen Chrysalis will create new ponies with her changelings. King Sombra will take guard and stand there. Menacingly. I am Queen Pinkamena Diane Pie. No-pony can kill me now. I am divergent. ~Pinkamena Diane Pie Dear Diary, Rainbow Dash cannot mind her own business. I thought she was going to be my Assistant. I thought we would rule together. I guess not. I will be on my own then. No help intended. ~Pinkamena Diane Pie Dear Diary, I cannot contain my joy! Rainbow Dash is in my prison. She cannot escape. The walls are sound-proof. I finally will win. I finally can be me again. I can be a Queen. Forgive me, mommy. But you're the one who abused me. Who caused me pain everyday. That's why I killed you, and dad. I only have Maud now. Maud is my only family. ~Pinkamena Diane Pie Dear Diary, Maud died. She was poisoned. I have no-pony now. ~Pinkamena Diane Pie Dear Diary, I have nothing to say. No-pony loves me. ~Pinkamena Diane Pie Dear Diary, I must kill Rainbow Dash. ~Pinkamena Diane Pie   It's only me now. No-pony can change how I feel. I must murder all of you. Ponyville is the town that caused me pain. Equestria has caused me pain. I hate you all so much. So, so much. You are the ponies who have created this new Pinkie. I hate me. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7: Sort of happy endings.

She bit it in half. "You are stuck with me till the end", Pinkamena smiled.     I scowled her. "Ever think of your friends!?" She stared at me blankly. "I have no friends." "She did this to you, Bon Bon!" I yelled. "Bon Bon is dead. And, you will be dead too." She threw me inside her house, and locked the door. She locked me inside. Oh Celestia was this great. I might as well look around. Knifes, guns, typical for the Murder next door. I found a comfy part of the ripped floor and I just collapsed and slept. I'm done with Pink - amena. ~~~ I woke up, in a dress. It was actually pretty good looking. (without the hoof bracelets). Pinkie walked in. "Rainbow, i'm sorry for my reactions. And so, I scheduled you a date with Soarin, and some Jail-time to myself. I was filled with no words. She changed in such a short time. Wait, was it the next day!? Whatever. I ran up and hugged her. She hugged back. "I'll be back in around 3 years. Enjoy life without me." She walked out and slammed the door. I chuckled. I told her not to slam doors. ~~~ "I'm home!" Soarin yelled, hanging his goggles. Blue Thunder buzzed around the house. "Daddy, daddy, I can fly!" "I knew you could do it", Soarin smiled, hugging his daughter. Rainbow Dash and Skittle Skies walked in from her room. Skittle was wearing a pink dress. "Pinkie Pie gave me this dress", Rainbow Dash smiled. "It fits Skittle so nice." Soarin gave Rainbow a kiss on the cheek. "Hi Rainbow", he smiled. Rainbow did the same and returned her gaze to their two daughters. She looked back at Soarin, and mouthed the words: "Should we tell them?" Soarin nodded. "Hey kids, who wants some Ice cream!?" Soarin smiled. Blue Thunder and Skittle Skies both yelled. "ME!" ~ "So kids", Rainbow smiled. "What do you think of me and Daddy getting married?" "I CALL FLOWER GIRL!" Skittle Skies yelled. She whipped her rainbow mane and did her puppy eyes. "Okay", Soarin laughed. "What do I do?" Blue Thunder asked. She fixed up her mane to make sure it didn't get in her eyes. "You can hand out flowers to throw", Rainbow Dash said. "It's very important." "Okay!" Blue smiled. Skittle and Blue both bro-hoofed and began eating their ice cream. Rainbow smiled at Soarin. "Their going to be so excited." Soarin looked at her. "Why?" "Because Pinkie's moving in next door, thats why!" (From left to right: Blue Thunder, Soarin, Skittle Skies, Rainbow Dash)
