Nightmare at the Gala!

"TWILIGHT!" yells Celestia. "Oh no... What have I done?!" Twilights dead body rolls down the staircase and onto the floor with the blade still in her head. "Something is going to be done about this immediately! Fluttershy, keep telling everypony your evidence." Fluttershy turns around, looks at Twilight, sheds a tear, and turns back around, still in the middle of the circle. "When Applebloom died, the arrow that killed her, it had the words 'You're next' inscribed on it." She grabs the arrow from Twilight, and tosses it to Celestia. "Read what's on the arrow." Celestia takes a close look at the arrow and sees 'You're next' inscribed on it. "Oh my gosh... it's the same arrow!" says Celestia. "Applejack was so frightened at the sight of the arrow, she backed into a tree and caused a lot of apples to fall down. Now, I had rabbits with me to make our work easier, and they haven't eaten all day. Don't you think they would go for the apples? Of course, they were so hungry!" She walks up to a pony and leans in on them. "You know what happened next?" she whispers to the pony.  "Uh..n-...no...I don't." says the pony. "Their heads... went..." she makes a small exploding sound in the ponies ear. The pony jumps in fear.

Fluttershy trots back to the middle of the circle. "My rabbits heads... blew up! This murderer poisoned the apples just as we were picking them, right above us, and we didn't even notice. The Apple family didn't know about the apples, but I knew something was up! I'm pretty sure I don't need to go any further." She moves in a circle to see everypony still motionless, expressionless. "You know what?! I'm not done with you ponies! I want you to know how disgusted I am!" Spitfire and Rainbow Dash fly over to Celestia. "She's gonna go mad." says Spitfire. "Want us to stop her?" asks Rainbow Dash. "Actually... no. I wanna see this go down!" says Celestia. "Sit tight."

"You ponies ARE clueless! You just think "Ooo, all these mysterious deaths are happening, there isn't something wrong". Not at all! You all had the wrong idea. Twilight Sparkle... was right, she was your only hope. She knew about the murders. She tried getting your attention. You all didn't listen to her... and what happened? You killed her... YOU ALL KILLED HER!" "I tried listening..." says a pony, quietly. "No you didn't! NOPONY LISTENED! You killed her and there's no going back. You all wanna listen now, but you didn't before! If all of you "listened" then why is Twilight DEAD on the floor?! I don't understand how you could do this to such an innocent pony." Fluttershy starts to cry.

Rainbow Dash flies over to Fluttershy and looks up at the murderer. "Alright! You are driving us crazy! You killed the one thing that meant the most to us. What more do you want?! I've had enough of you!" "I've had enough of Tilde too, Rainbow. "The murderer calls them self Tilde?! What a dumb nickname!" The murderer speaks again, but the voice is still cloaked. "Oh, sweet Rainbow Dash, don't get too angry, you might burst into tears like your friend Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash gets furious. "THAT'S IT! I'm coming up there!" Fluttershy steps in front of Rainbow Dash. "It's too risky, I don't wanna see you get killed" she whispers. The murderer starts to tease them. "Oh smart, smart Fluttershy you're starting to seem like the smart pony, you really are. How did you become so skeptical? You're usually...shy." "Well, my rabbit Angel and I resear-" "Your rabbit, Angel eh? You mean... this rabbit?" The murderer reaches and pulls out a white rabbit with a knife through his stomach and his throat cut open. "ANGEL!" Flutterhy cries out.

"You...are sick." says Rainbow Dash. "I took a short trip to Fluttershys cottage before the grand entrance even started. What are you gonna do about it?" asks the murderer, giggling. "Do your worst! I'm not afraid of you!" yells Rainbow Dash. "Do my worst huh? I'll have that in a jiffy!" The murderer snaps its fingers, and one by one, everyponies cutie mark disappears. The castle uproars in a panic again, except for Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Celestia. "Why must you continue this chaos?!" asks a pony. Celestia's eyes widen, "Chaos.." she thinks.  She walks over to Fluttershy. "I have a weird feeling I know who the murderer is." "Me too.." says Fluttershy. The panic settles down and Celestia gets everyponies attention. "From the start of this Gala, I have been fully convinced that there is a murderer, as bad as that sounds. My sincere apologies for doubting Twilight. I have nopony to blame but myself. I guess the murderer got the best of me."

Everypony seems to give Celestia the dirty look except for the murderer, who's laughing out loud. "Got the best of you?! Oh, I'm not even done! I may have been up here this whole time, but be prepared to see what else I have for you!" The murderer stomps their hoof once and the lights go out again, but this time, nopony is panicking. "What happened to everypony panicking? I guess you're all used to my antics. Doesn't anypony want to come after me? Come on, just try and reveal who I am! I know one of you ponies want to!" Nopony moves. "That's not what I expected, so I'll just kick it up a notch!" The murderers voice is still disguised, but it angers Rainbow Dash. "Why can't you just reveal yourself?! Nopony is afraid of you!!" "Oh! I'll make everypony bow down to me and treat me like everypony else!" The murderer stomps their hoof three times and teleports inside the big circle. Celestia is still overlooking from the staircase. "Mhm, it's him under that cloak for sure!"
