The life I lived got my hooves pretty dirty. It was exciting but always dirty. My name is Pinkameana Diane Pie but just call me Pinkie Pie. I use to do some work for the princess but that's all in the past. What I do now is live the Cakes, work as a baker, and have a pet alligator who struck by me and never once told my secrets. If you didn't know, secrets are very important to me because sometimes your life can depend on it. I even made up a special promise called a Pinkie Promise. If you break one I promise you a swift end. Unless I hate you in which I tormented you make suffer until you die.
Who knew my old life would come back to me and I would need to take out the hardest order?
Flashback
It was Friday Morning business was slower than usual it was because of the rain the pegasi scheduled to make up for last week . I decided to open shop anyway and was happily working in the kitchen while babysitting the Cakes twin foals. I at least used ten bags of flour which was a new record. Mr and Mrs. Cake were at Canterlot filling in a very big order for wedding. The door opened causing tension to fill the air. Suddenly my blood ran cold and the foals cried. I stopped playing with them to take an order from the stranger.
"Pinkie" The stranger's voice was cold and sharp. I did my best to avoid their eyes. I put on my best fake smile but I was terrified of want they might do.
"Yes, my name is Pinkie. What would you like today?" I talked calm and nice common tone. The pony, which I now saw was a colt pegasus put a letter in my hand. He walked out the door and flew off. I turned the letter over to see a a waxy seal of a phoenix. Something I haven't seen in a long time. "Oh No! This can't be happening" Against my better judgement I open up the letter afraid of what it might say.
Dear Ms.Pinkameana,
We must gather up the old team members of C.E.L.O.S.T. by my order. If you recall C.E.L.O.S.T stands for Celestia's Elite League Of Special Talents. Your services are very much inquired for this order. Everything you need to know will be explained later on. This letter has one ticket to the Crystal Empire you must come here immediately. This is an urgent request. When you get here go in the castle. Princess Cadence will meet you and act as your guide.We await for your presence.
Sincerely
Princess Celestia
"Holy Cupcakes! What am I going to do! I can't leave the foals but I can't deny the Princess. I got It!" I packed up everything the twins needed and trotted out the door to Twilight's library. I made sure the twins had everything on for a rainy day. Including hats, raincoats and rain boots covered in little ducks.
"TwlilghtIreallyneedyoutowatchtefoalsformebecauseIreallyneedtodosomething" I out breath saying by the time I was done.
"Pinkie Pie slow down I didn't understand a word you said" Twilight gave me a "Pinkie slow down or you might hurt yourself" look.
"Twilight I have some matters to attend to. Since you all you have little Spikey-Wikey to look after, could you look after twins for me ppppplllleeeeeaaaaaassssseeeee." I gave her the best puppy eyes I could. Ponies always caved in when I gave them the puppy eyes.
"Pinkie Pie you know I have royal duties as princess but I suppose I could after them for a while. How long will you be gone?" I was experienced with kind of this stuff before so on the spot I came up with a lie.
"Twilight it's a family thingy who knows how long it is." She simply shook and nodded. I rushed out of the library relieved she didn't ask anymore questions.
I rushed packing. You can't risk having to much stuff on the road because then you look suspicious . Keep only what you need or die without. I packed up clothes, Gummy, and something I thought I would never need ever again. I rush upstairs to my room. I walked in going the closet where I fished out a an box with something inside I loved but would always hate. I pulled a small pocket knife with a wooden handle.
A river of old memories good and bad flooded back to me. I took so many lives with that knife. So many times I spilled blood on my hooves. Every time I held it was painful to remember. I put in my bag my Pinkie Sense told something really bad was about to happen. Knowing my Pinkie Sense was never wrong I decide to put those memories in the back of my mind for later. Those memories are something I can't forget they are permanently written my mind forever. I rushed to the train station without another thought.
End of Flashback
"All aboard" called the conductor. I was looking for two certain pegsi on the train. Flitter and Cloudchaser. Believe it or not both of them were part of C.E.L.O.S.T. Flitter was the pony who could figure a way out of anything and Cloudchaser was the best double agent. The best is both of them can go to a place and blend in without raising any suspicion. I know that the Princess won't let leave those two out of an order. I finally spotted them in the second car. We haven't talked in years yet we're going to the same place for the same reason.
When they noticed me, they knew why I was here. I took a seat next to them. We all were uncomfortable for a few seconds but we remembered the motto "Once a team as always a team". I smile at them as they return a warm smile of their own. I have no idea what this order is but my Pinkie Sense is telling me something was wrong for a long time. What could it be?
The empire was as beautiful ever. The crystal ponies were going on their usual routine. I love it here because it is so peaceful. I turned to Fritter and Cloudchaser both awestruck. Who wouldn't be? The scenery is gorgeous. The crystals are shining as bright as Celestia's Sun. Then I felt somepony nudge my shoulder.
"Come on we better get going. I think we could just look at this place forever, don't you agree?" It was Cloudchaser. I looked at her as her eyes wondered in amazment. I simply gave her a nod and we were all on our way. Cloudchaser despite knowing we had to get to the castle as quickly as possible she went shopping. That her weakness if there is something that catches her eye don't stand in her way. Not even even Flitter would be able to stop her. If you were to look at Flitter and Cloudchaser you could tell they were twins but urneath are ponies who couldn't be any more different.
I decided to give her five minutes if she doesn't I'll have to drag her out. It would be fun but when you personality is sweet and bubbly, it would make you look really suspicious.
Five Minutes Later
"Cloudy did buy the the entire store!" Flitter exclaimed after see her sister's ten huge multiply color bags. I let out a little gasp of my own, it wasn't because of how stuff she had it was the fact she was able to carry all of them. Maybe being on Pony ville's Weather Team really does strengthen your muscles. Then again, by the way she shops I wouldn't be surprised if she was a champion weight lifter.
"Oh Flitter you know my salary wouldn't be able to cover that." She smiled and said as she pulled out a newly purchased navy blue scarf from one of the bags.
Part of me dreaded this day because I never thought I would have to take another life but it's hard to dread when everything around is shiny and gorgeous with clear sky and a warming sun. I looked around and realized the castle was right in front of us. I gulped some air and began to trot to the Castle. My hooves felt heavier with each step I take. I know it was all in my head but my Pinkie Sense keeps giving me a slight tingle every second. I have this funny feeling that what I'm about to do might change me forever. I can't shake off the feeling.
"Miss Pinkameana, Miss Cloudchaser, Miss Flitter" I shook as a voice broke into my thoughts
I realized it was Princess Cadence. It was obvious that she didn't expect to see me by the way her eyes widen.
She coughed nevously and continued her greetings."It is my greatest honor to welcome you to the Crystal Empire" She forced a smile as she turned around to lead us to our destination. I stifled a laugh after all I have been to the empire many times. It seemed strange to be introduced to this place again. I lifted my head up and began to pick the pace. After all an order waits for no pony.
