Nightmare at the Gala!

Fluttershy stares at the royal guard with her mouth open and a disgusted look on her face. "If this isn't the most... SICKENING thing I have  ever seen, I don't know what is! Everything I've seen since the day Applebloom died has been a total nightmare! All because of this stupid murderer, because of this, all FIVE of my best friends are dead." Celestia doesn't hesitate to explain herself. "Fluttershy, it had to be done, Rainbow was the one who cause the Sonic Rainboom." Fluttershy takes a deep breath, but fails. She stomps her hoof on the floor. "YOU FUCKING EXECUTED HER BEFORE SHE EVEN BREATHE!!" She covers her mouth, their is silence. Big Mac is looking in shock from Fluttershys outburst, but then looks down at the body bag. "Celestia, Rainbow wasn't the one who did it, I know who. I bet you don't even know who's under that body bag, do you?" Celestia raises her eyebrow. "I have an idea, just watch this." Celestia leans in on the body bag. "Alright Discord! This isn't funny anymore!" Fluttershy and Big Mac look at her with confusion. "Discord?" asks Big Mac. "You think it's... Discord?" he can't believe what Celestia is saying. "If by some chance it really is Discord..." Big mac looks at the ground, then back up. "Then I was completely wrong. my assumption was Pinkie Pie." Fluttershy's look gets worse. "Please tell me why you think it's her." "Well... I think... Okay... Look at it this way. Pinkie Pie had the least gruesome death." "Gruesome?" asks Fluttershy. "Let me continue. What I'm is this, what if Pinkie Pie's seizure wasn't real? The pony lives off of parties, don't you think she's used to flashing lights?" Fluttershy looks puzzled, but then understands better and better. "Wow, you have a point, but... her heart stopped." "That's what you think," Big Mac says. "Rainbow Dash didn't kill Pinkie Pie.

"Who was the pony who tried to save her life?" asks Big Mac. Fluttershy thinks about it when Celestia steps in. "It was Twilight." "Correct. Now do you think Twilight actually checked her heart? Did you think she... 'tried to save her life'?" "No, all she wanted to be was a show off." Fluttershy adds. "Correct. If you know Pinkie Pie really well, you should know that she likes to trick other ponies, almost like pranking." Celestia looks confused. "I don't know Big Mac, but we should hear what Fluttershy has to say, who do you think the murderer is?" Fluttershy slowly walks in front of the body bag. "This pony caused alot of heartbreaks. The nerve, the absolute nerve. It's simple, really, my thoughts are that the murderer was just looking for attention. They wanted to be noticed, more known than Celestia herself. Others would try different things to get attention, but going on a murderous rampage is a completely different story. She had it all, being happily married for almost two years. Not one pony has known this one as long as you Celestia, but you know who else? Twilight." Celestia looks as she is getting towards something with Fluttershys explanation. "You mean to tell me that Twilight and I know this pony very well?" Fluttershy silently nods 'yes' as she lifts up the body bag, revealing two pink hooves. Celestia's eyes widen. "Well.... there goes my assumption." Fluttershy looks at Big Mac. "Well.. I.... I told you it was Pinkie Pie." He says hesitantly. Fluttershy grabs the body bag again. "Wrong." She lifts up the body bag further to see a cutie mark, showing a blue, crystal heart. "It can't be!" yells Celestia. "I can't believe it." says Big Mac. "You better believe it, cause I'm not lying." says Fluttershy. She lifts the body bag up entirely, who's under it? Princess Cadence.

"I killed a princess... what have I done?" asks Big Mac. Fluttershy walks up to him. "It's not your fault, somepony had to stop her before she killed any more ponies." Celestia gets a flashback. "Wait a minute, she's married to Shining Armour. Remember what happened at the wedding? Fluttershy and Big Mac think about what happened for a few seconds. "Cadence turned out to be a changeling." says Fluttershy. "Yes but, you don't think the past is gonna repeat itself, do you?" asks Big Mac. "We won't really know for sure, Big Mac," says Celestia. "Understand that Twilight was so affectionate towards her brother, Cadence wanted to take out either of the siblings." Fluttershy starts to understand. "So what you're saying is, if this Cadence is Queen Chrysalis, then the real Cadence is somewhere else." "Exactly." says Celestia. "Who wants to check her eyes?" The two ponies stand still. "Okay, I'll do it." Celestia leans in on the dead body and lifts up one of the eyes., it's a greenish blue. The eyeball stares off into the ceiling, and then immediately looks at Celestia. "You'll NEVER see your precious adopted niece again. She's dead!" whispers Queen Chrysalis. Celestia screams and tramples backwards. "She looked at me and whispered in my face!" Big Mac spots a shadow from the window where the murderer stood the night before, about to shoot an arrow. "CELESTIA! DUCK!" She turns around as Fluttershy tackles her out of the way. The arrow goes directly into the Chrysalis' head. The three watch as Cadence's body fades into the body of Queen Chrysalis. Big Mac walks slowly towards the body. "It....It wasn't really Princess Cadence?"
