Cupcakes 2: Cupcakes FOREVER
Chapter 1- The Beginning of the End?
Mayor Mare's eyes finally drifted close for the last time, and Pinkie Pie smiled. She had always wanted to find out what her cupcakes would taste like if she cooked the pony first, and now she would find out. 'Who knows, it could create the perfect cupcake.' Pinkie mused to herself.
If she thought about it hard enough, it seemed like she could relive the events of today all over again.
Earlier that day
Mayor Mare walked down the street towards Sugarcube Corner. The ponies of Poniville were out and about cleaning up after last night's big storm. Today was rather pleasant compared to the howling gales of the night.
'I wonder why the weather team lost control of it? Cloud Chaser said that since Rainbow Dash disappeared the weather team has been experiencing some difficulties, but the town was ravaged by this storm.', she thought to herself. 'Maybe I should send a request for more pegasi for our weather team.", she thought as Sugarcube Corner came into view.
Soon she came upon her destination, and she gingerly pushed the door open. She had gotten an invitation to a taste testing for the upcoming anniversery of the town's induction. She walked inside and found that the room was empty, which she found to be slightly odd for this time of day.
"Hello? Mr. Cake, Mrs. Cake, Pinkie Pie? Is anypony here?", she called out.
"One minute!", came a sing song voice from the kitchen.
Mayor Mare took the time to look around the room. It was decorated with balloons, streamers, and candy dishes filled with a vast assortment of treats were strung about the room. She turned when she heard the door open behind her, and saw a very excited Pinkie Pie.
"You're early Mayor Mare!", she said with a large beaming smile.
"Well Pinkie as mayor, I have to make a good impression."
"You're so early I haven't even finished the samples yet!", Pinkie exclaimed while she hopped up in the air.
"Well, I could come back later. I do have some important paperwork to review.", Mayor Mare said as she turned back towards the door.
"No wait!" Pinkie said quickly, "Why don't you help me instead?", she asked with a smile.
Mayor Mare put her hoof to her chin, "Well I guess I could help.", she said with uncertainty present in her voice, "Although I don't know my way around a kitchen fairly well."
"That's okay, I only need you to get the ingredients."
"Well okay then! Lets get started!"
"Yay! First things first!" Pinkie reached into her mane, "Here! Try this one.", Pinkie said as she presented the mayor with a cupcake.
"Well what's this?", Mayor Mare questioned.
"It's from the first batch," Pinkie lowered her voice to a loud whisper, "I won't tell anypony if you have one now."
Mayor Mare lifted the pastry from Pinkie's hoof and began to eat it whole. She noted that the texture of the cupcake was excellent, and the flavor was simply extrordinary. After she swallowed the morsel she openned her mouth to speak about her findings, but suddenly she felt light headed. The room began to spin, her legs felt like jello, and soon she wasn't even able to stand as a sleepy sensation swept across her body. As her eyes closed, and she drifted into unconscienceness, she saw a pink blurry image get closer, and soon all she could see was an impossilbly large smile.
Chapter 2- Why Pinkie, Why?
Mayor Mare slowly openned her eyes, blinking several times to adjust her sight to the low lighting, and immediately regretted doing so. Even though there was almost no light, except for the single fixture above her, her eyes felt like they were on fire. The air was sickly sweet, but at the same time coppery. She felt a chill run down her spine as she realized that she was laying on a table made of wooden planks.
She tried to move her hoof to sheild her eyes, but found that all of them were securely shackled to the platform that she was on. She resisted against the tight metal shackles for a few seconds before realizing that it was pointless. Suddenly there was a quiet sound coming from some where in front of her. Mayor Mare began to panickally look around, but she couldn't make out anything distiguishable. Finally her vision began to come back into focus and a bouncing Pinkie Pie bounced forth from the darkness that surrounded her.
"Pinkie, you have to help me! I don't know where I am or how I got here, but...", Mayor Mare froze as the memmories from earlier flashed through her mind. "Y...you put me here, didn't you?", she asked in an accusing tone.
Pinkie Pie smiled and hopped up and down excitedly, "Yep! Oh we're going to have soooo much fun mayor now that you're awake, just you wait!"
"F...fun?"
Pinkie gave a quick nod, "Mmm hmm, lots of it."
"Wh...what about the cupcakes? Th...the samples?"
"Well you see, I need more of the secret ingredient, and you're going to help me get it.", Pinkie said with a beaming smile.
"Secret ingredient? Y...you mean like vanilla or...", Mayor Mare stopped because Pinkie began shaking her head quickly.
"Nooooo silly! Remember what I said earlier? I said I only need you to get the ingredients.", Pinkie Pie stared at the mayor expectantly for a few moments, " The secret ingredient is you!", she added while pointing at Mayor Mare.
"This is all some sort of joke right?", she asked with a weak smile followed by an uncomfortable laugh.
Pinkie Pie shook her head and said, "Nope!", and the mayor stopped laughing.
Fear shot through her body, and Mayor Mare began to take short quick breaths that eventually became sobs. She hung her head and the tears flowed from her eyes directly to the floor and the rest of her body trembled from fright. She continued to sob even after she felt a hoof touch her cheek and slowy lift her head up.
"Awww, please don't cry. Ya know you shouldn't be sad Mayor Mare.", Pinkie said with with a pout, which made Mayor Mare's hopes rise enough to choke back her sobs, "You're going to help me make a lot ponies very happy.", Pinkie stated matter of factly.
"What about me?", she began crying again, "Doesn't my happiness, my life, mean anything?"
"Well of course they do, but well, your number came up so..."
"So I'm going to die because of a number!", Mayor Mare shouted.
Pinkie brought her hoof to her chin and rubbed it, "Yeah.", she nonchalantly stated after she thought about it for a while.
"Why? Just... why?"
Mare Mayor feared that she would die right at this moment. Pinkie Pie stared at the ground for what seemed like hours. She just stood there motionless, and Mayor Mare decided to try and wiggle out of her shackles again, to no avail.
Finally after what seemed like forever in her frightened state of mind, Mayor Mare decided to simply ask Pinkie to release her, "Pinkie Pie? Please, just let me go. I know a great doctor who could help you, but you have to let me go."
Pinkie Pie giggled, "Oh I can't do that silly. I need you."
With that Pinkie Pie bounded off into the darkness and returned pushing a cart that was cloaked. Pinkie Pie grabbed the cloak in her mouth and quickly pulled it off. Mayor Mare's eyes settled on the cart, and through her tears she saw horrible devices. The devices on the cart included a vast array of sharp tools, hammers, and even cork screws. It all appeared to be arranged in order of ablity to cause pain. Upon realizing that these things were meant to be used on her, Mayor Mare's stomach became empty.
"If you think that's neat, you should see the rest of the room!", Pinkie gushed as she zipped off into the darkness again.
Mayor Mare heard a click and the rest of the room's lights flashed on. The brilliantly bright light cause Mayor Mare to close her eyes and wait for them to adjust. As she reopenned her eyes, the sight that was before her was something straight out of the horror movies she watched while she attended Canterlot Academy.
Organs, filled with helium and done up with pastels, floated around the room. On the wall was a banner, which was made of tanned pony hides, sported the phrase 'LIFE IS A PARTY' in what appeared to be blood. Streamers made from intestines hung from the ceiling. Skulls of past ponies were gingerly placed about the room, but most were on the wall opposing her. The furniture towards the center of the room was made out of preserved flesh and bones of ponies, but the thing that horrified Mayor Mare the most was the fact that Rainbow Dash was standing right in front of her.
"See? I brought us a friend to play with Dashie!", Pinkie said as she walked up next to Dash.
She placed her hoof on Dash's back and Dash began talking, "Hey mayor! Sorry I haven't been to work lately, but I was just having such an awesome time with Pinkie that I decided that I would never leave!"
Mayor Mare quickly noticed that Dash's voice wasn't right, and her mouth movements didn't match the words.
"Oh... my... Celestia.", Mayor Mare began to hyperventilate, "You... killed her. You killed...", she broke down into tears once more.
She looked back up into the lifeless eyes of Equestria's fastest flier, and felt a tang of sorrow.
"She was your... your friend. How could you?", her panicked strickened eyes scanned all over the room, "How could you do this to all of these ponies?"
"You see mayor," Pinkie put her forehooves together, "I create smiles and laughter. If that means that in order to do that, somepony has to get hurt, then so be it!" she said with a smile. "I turn screams of pain," she held up a hoof, "and anguish," she held up another and rose up till she was standing on her hind hooves, "into other's happiness!" Pinkie Pie used her raised hooves to draw the out line of a smile in the air before resettling them back down onto the floor.
"But... it never lasts very long, and well...", she stopped talking and rubbed the back of her head, "For some reason no pony likes my cupcakes without the secret ingredient," she glumily stated, "so I have to keep getting more, so I can keep everypony smiling!", she said with her usual pep.
"But Pinkie Pie...", Mayor Mare was cut short by Pinkie's hoof being jammed roughy into her mouth.
"No more time for questions mayor, it's time to begin!", Pinkie said, causing Mayor Mare's pupils to shrink to the size of pin pricks.
Pinkie bounced over to the cart and grabbed a scalpel. She walked over to Mayor Mare's side and placed it an inch above her cutie mark. Slowly, and with surgeon like precision, Pinkie Pie cut a circle around the tan scroll with a blue ribbon. The pain that Mayor Mare was experiencing now was nothing compared to when Pinkie Pie returned with a curved knife and sliced the circle of hide clean off from Mayor Mare's body. She went to her other side and repeated the process.
"Help me! Please somepony help me!", Mayor Mare screamed.
"Oh mayor," Pinkie said as she placed a comforting hoof on Mayor Mare's cheek, "nopony can hear you.", she said with a warm smile.
Mayor Mare simply cried and watched her cutie marks be thrown onto the cart of tools. She remembered how she had gotten her cutie mark after being elected class president when she was a foal, and cried even harder.
"These will make my dress super special!", Pinkie said brightly as she rubbed the cutie marks on the cart.
Although she was crying still, Mayor Mare huffed out a question, "What dress?"
Pinkie Pie beamed and shot off behind Mayor Mare while almost singing, "I'll be right back."
Mayor Mare desperately struggled against her bonds. She had to get out of there or she would die, there was no question about that in her mind. She pulled her hooves with all of her might but nothing productive happened. Her hide had began to split and blood trinkled down the metal shackle and onto the platform. She cringed from this new pain slightly, and choked back her sobs until she heard somepony moving behind her.
Pinkie Pie burst into her field of view, and pranced about the room, all the while giggling and smiling as if nothing were wrong. She came to a stop in front of Mayor Mare and motioned towards her 'dress'.
"This is the dress I told you about! I made it myself," Pinkie stopped and thought for a moment, "well actually, I guess you could say I had a lot of help!" Pinkie said as she started looking at each cutie mark, staring momentarily at each one as if she was remmebering something.
As her eyes reached the cutie marks that adorned the puffy shoulders of her dress, Pinkie's eyes seemed to become misty. She sighed slightly and her smile drooped downwards a little, but she remained somewhat peppy.
"Y... you... miss... Rainbow... D... Dash.", she stuttered through her tears.
Pinkie Pie looked up into the mayor's eyes and said, "Miss her? She's right here, and she never leaves! I get to play with her all the time now! I'm just a little upset that she didn't last very long."
Mayor Mare stopped trying to hold back her tears at this point. She saw the wings fluttering on Pinkie's monstrosity, and the necklace of unicorn horns that clacked together each time she moved, and just gave in.
"Just... kill me. If you're going to do it just do it.", Mayor Mare stated after awhile with tears in her eyes.
"Aww, but that wouldn't be any fun!", Pinkie said as she picked up a large cork screw and walked over to Mayor Mare's right side. "And I love fun!" she said as she placed the normally unimtimadating tool on Mayor Mare's tibia, and began to turn it slowly.
At first all she could feel was the heat from the friction of the turn motion against her hide, but Pinkie Pie slowly and methodically applied more and more pressure until it finally breached the skin and flesh. The sudden entry of the foriegn object made Mayor Mare gasp out in pain, which quickly became shreiks as the corkscrew started boring it way into her bone.
"Please stop! PLEASE! STOP!", she screeched, but Pinkie Pie just stuck her tongue out, slightly biting it, and forced even more pressure onto it.
Mayor Mare started trying to buck her legs, but since they were tightly secured, she couldn't do much other than wiggle around trying to get the crazed pink mare to listen to reason.
"You have to stop moving around mayor.", Pinkie said with a smile, "You could get hurt.", she said as she grabbed the corkscrew's handle in her mouth and yanked it towards herself.
Mayor Mare bellowed out in agony when she felt the cruel device that was screwed into her leg be pulled to the side with such force. The bone started audibly cracking but before it could break Pinkie ened her assualt.
Mayor Mare began panting as the pain started to immediately die down to that of just a broken bone rather than being struck by a constant bolt of lightening. Pinkie Pie placed her hoof back onto the handle of the corkscrew and turned it once more, causing the mayor to writhe in pain once more. This time however Pinkie Pie didn't yank on the tool, instead she just placed her other hoof on Mayor Mare's leg to hold it still and pressed down even harder as she turned it. She screwed up her face in concentration until finally the corkscrew suddenly jerked forward through the remainder of the bone, and into the calf muscle.
Pinkie's eyes lit up with excitement when this happened, and her smile grew larger. It was almost like she couldn't hear the soul wrenching cries of the mayor at all. The mayor screamed with all of her might as the twisted piece of metal broke through her bone and into the muscle on the other side.
"PLEASE STOP! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS?"
Pinkie Pie looked back at the mayor's face and said, "I already told you silly! Your number came up!"
"AND WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!! WHAT ARE THESE NUMBERS YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT?!!", Mayor Mare demanded more than asked.
"Oh! Well you see mayor, whenever I meet a new pony, I assign them a number in my head." Pinkie tapped her head with her hoof, "Then, after I get back home later that day, I write down their name in my book with their number, and I add their number to this!", Pinkie said as she pulled out a raffling ball out of seemingly no where, "To get my next extra special helper," Pinkie leaned towards Mayor Mare and whispered loudly, "that's you," before continuing with her explaination, "I just mix it up like this," she began rolling the ball with her snout, "and reach in, pull out a number, then I match the number to the pony, aaaannnnddd BINGO!" Pinkie Pie puffed out her chest out of pride a little and asked, "Pretty smart huh?"
Pinkie Pie looked at Mayor Mare, who was trying to break out of the metal shackles once more and asked, "Did you even hear me?", in a hurt tone.
She waited for Mayor Mare to respond but she didn't. She just keep on trying to get free of the table she was attached to and escape to sweet freedom.
"You're being very rude!", Pinkie exclaimed with a certain sternness in her voice.
"I'M BEING RUDE!?", Mayor Mare shouted.
"Yeah! You're yelling at me, ignoring my stories, and you don't want to play with me. That's very rude!", Pinkie stated with a hoofstomp for each thing on her list as she said it.
"YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME!!!", Mayor Mare hollared even louder.
"So every pony else will be happy!", Pinkie said.
"SO YOU THINK EVERY PONY ELSE WILL BE HAPPIER IF I DIE!?"
"The cupcakes you help me make will make them happier!", Pinkie said with a bounce.
"YOU'RE SICK!", Mayor Mare exclaim through her thick fog of pain.
Pinkie Pie held one of her hooves up to her forehead, "Ya think so? I don't feel very warm."
"Please Pinkie, please, just... let me go. Please.", Mayor Mare said in the calmest voice she could muster.
Pinkie Pie simply shook her head, "I told you, silly filly!", she tried to stifle a giggle, "I can't do that.", she said with a wide grin, "Now where were we?", she said as she surveyed the immediate area.
"Pl...e... ease, please. Please let me... let me go.", Mayor Mare blubbered along with one last feeble attempt to break free on her own.
Pinkie Pie just shook her head. She had never seen a pony cry like this before. Normally they would have given up by now, but the mayor just kept on trying, and this made Pinkie smile. She was going to have a lot of fun this time around.
She walked back over to Mayor Mare's side and placed her hoof back on the corkscrew. Mayor Mare gave a staggered gasp, and pleadingly looked into Pinkie's eyes. Pinkie Pie smile brightly twisted and pushed down as hard as she could. The corkscrew tore through the muscle and curled out the other side of the mayor's leg. Pinkie Pie however kept twisting the tool downwards and evenually it began embedding itself into the wood of the table.
Mayor Mare cried out from the pain of her muscle being tormented in such a way. She didn't know how much more she could take, but she was sure it wasn't much. Pinkie Pie walked over to the cart and grabbed another corkscrew.
"Oh mayor!", she sang, "Guess what?"
"No. Please. NO! NOOOOO!", Mayor Mare shouted as she saw what Pinkie was holding.
Pinkie Pie snorted and laughed, as she walked back over to the mayor. She placed the corkscrew over the mayor's other leg, and once again began screwing it into her. Pinkie Pie screwed the corkscrew all the way through the mayor's left leg before she realized that the mayor had decided to take a nap.
"Everytime I invite another pony to help me make cupcakes.", Pinkie mutter under her breath.
She walked over to a corner of the room and grabbed her medical bag. As she approached the mayor she placed the bag on the ground and began to rummage through it. She pulled out a syringe of adrinaline, but before she stuck the mayor with it an idea popped into her mind.
Chapter 3- A Screwed Up Life
'SPLASH!'
Mayor Mare's eyes shot open from the icy water's contact with her body, and she instantly began screaming. Her legs felt as if they were on fire due to the corkscrews and the removal of her cutie marks, but now the pain had spread across all of her legs. She looked around and saw that now all of her legs had corkscrews through them, and that the corkscrews themselves also penetrated the table, screwing her in place.
Pinkie stood off to the side holding a bucket and smiling brightly. She tossed the bucket behind her and walked around to the right side of the table. She undid all of the shackles that held Mayor Mare in place one by one with a smile.
"Y... you're letting me go?", Mayor Mare asked with hope filling her voice.
"Um... something like that.", Pinkie said as she undid the last shackle.
Mayor Mare tried to bolt off the table and through the door, but the corkscrews held her in place. Pinkie Pie smiled even larger when she saw that her plan was working. She skipped back around the table and hummed tunelessly until she reached Mayor Mare's right side. Pinkie Pie placed a hoof on the turn wheel and began rotating it.
Mayor Mare felt the table begin to shift, and she realized that by turning that wheel Pinkie Pie was making the table go upright. She looked at each of the corkscrews and gulped. The table slowly lurched upright and soon Mayor Mare's weight was being supported solely by the corkscrews.
Her body lurched forward causing her new restraints handle's to dig into the appendages they currently were forced through. Tears welled up in Mayor Mare's eyes as she struggled to hold back a scream.
Pinkie Pie, on the other hand, was thoughtfully stroking her chin once more, her facial features screwed up in deep concentration. Suddenly she gasped as inspiration struck her. Pinkie Pie began giggling uncontrolably as she walked over to a corner of the room behind Mayor Mare.
Pinkie Pie returned to Mayor Mare's side with a small bag in her mouth. She dropped it onto the cart and openned it up to reveal that the bag was filled with party favors. She pulled out a party hat, a party horn, and a small tube of something that the mayor wasn't really sure of what it was.
Pinkie Pie picked up the hat and placed it on the mayor's head. She backed away from the mayor and looked at her with sparkles in her eyes. Mayor Mare shook her head slightly and the hat fell off. Pinkie Pie walked back over, picked the hat up off the floor, and replaced it on the mayor's head. Once again the mayor shook it off.
Pinkie Pie began to think, as the mayor began to struggle once more, wincing in pain with each movement. Suddenly Pinkie had an idea of how she could get the pesky hat to stay on the mayor, and she bounced off behind her once more. Pinkie returned seconds later and replaced the hat, but this time she pulled out a stapler and stapled it down.
Mayor Mare began screaming from the new pain that she was subjected to. She was screaming so hard that she didn't notice Pinkie Pie return with the party horn, which had a white substance dripping from it, and a clamp. Pinkie Pie forced the party horn into the mayor's mouth and quickly placed the clamp on her muzzle, securing it in place.
Mayor Mare tried to speak, as tears began running down her cheeks once more, but all that would come out was noise from the party horn.
Pinkie Pie simply giggled and said. "It's not a party without these things you know."
Pinkie Pie picked her scalpel back up and walked back to Mayor Mare's side. She placed it on the mayor's thigh and removed a small piece of flesh. Pinkie watched with glee as crimson fluid gently flowed forth from the new wound, before turning her attention to the piece of meat she held in her hoof. She studied it for a while, and popped it into her mouth.
"MMM!", Pinkie said as she began to chew, "I wish you could try this mayor, but it looks like you already have a mouthful!", Pinkie said before snickering at her own joke.
Mayor Mare watched the display and began to hurl, however, the party horn prevented her bile from exitting through her mouth, and the acid ladened fluid forced its way out of her nostrils. Mayor Mare slumped forward which caught Pinkie's attention.
"Mayor? Mayor Mare?", Pinkie poked her, "Awww! Why does everypony fall alsleep? Can't they see that this is really fun, and that falling asleep is very rude?", Pinkie asked as she glumily sat down on her haunches. "Oh well, I guess it's time to stop playing."
Chapter 4- This Mayor May Not Be The End
Pinkie Pie grabbed a shot of adrinaline and gave the injection to Mayor Mare, who seconds later was wide awake and breathing heavily, which made Pinkie chuckle since the party horn was still in the mayor's mouth. Pinkie Pie removed the clamp from the mayor's muzzle, and she instantly went to spit out the horn, but found that it wasn't budging.
Pinkie Pie cleared her throat to get the mayor's attention, "Silly! I glued it!", she said brightly.
Mayor Mare whimpered slightly, and Pinkie Pie walked back over to the turn wheel and brought her back to a laying position. Pinkie Pie surveyed the mayor for a few seconds before deciding what to do next. She walked back behind Mayor Mare and returned pushing a small rusted generator that had wires attached to it.
"I know what you're thinking mayor, but trust me," Pinkie said as she stopped pushing the generator, "this is an oldie but goodie!"
Mayor Mare's eyes widen as she watched Pinkie Pie attach the wires to the corkscrews that held her in place. She squirmed, whimpered, and tried to talk around the party horn to no effect other than causing the horn to make its signature sound. Pinkie Pie giggled at this as she placed her hoof on a dial on the generator.
She looked back at the mayor and said, "It's time for the mega-hertz!" Pinkie began giggling at her little joke as she turned the dial, releasing the generator's electricity. She looked back at the mayor, who was now conturing and blowing the party horn extremely hard, "Do you get it? Mega-Hertz!" Pinkie started laughing again, "Oh... I crack me up." she said as she wiped a tear from her eye.
Pinkie Pie turned the dial again, raising the voltage of the current, and watched eagerly as the mayor danced upon the table for her. Pinkie clapped her forehooves together and started laughing again. A few minutes later and the party horn stopped making noise. Pinkie Pie turned the generator off and walked up to the mayor's body.
Her body continued to convulse on its own for a few moments, but after it stopped Pinkie Pie placed her hoof on the mayor's chest and found that her heart was still beating. Pinkie breathed a sigh of relief as she walked over to her medical bag and retrieved another adrinaline shot and three larger syringes of numbing medication, which she placed on her cart.
Pinkie Pie inserted the adrinaline shot into the mayor's chest and pushed the plunger all the way forward. After a few seconds the mayor's eyes shot open. Her body was racked with pain and she couldn't move anything other than her eyes. The mayor tried to speak again, but the horn was still firmly in place.
"What was that mayor?" Pinkie asked, "Here let me get that for you."
She grabbed the horn with her hooves and pulled it with all of her might. The glue wouldn't give, but the mayor's fleshy lips did. As Pinkie pulled she watched in facisination as the mayor's lips began to peel from her face. Blood was being splattered everywhere by the mayor's screams, but Pinkie didn't mind at all. Pinkie continued to pull even though the mayor's screams of pain and agony grew louder, until at last the horn was sucessfully removed. Pinkie sat back onto her haunches and wiped the trinkle of sweat off her brow as the mayor's screams died down to whimpers, tears, and loud panting breaths.
Pinkie Pie grabbed one of the larger needles and held it up. The moyor stared at it with large fearful eyes.
Pinkie Pie noticed this and said, "This is for the pain mayor!" in a glee filled tone.
Pinkie walked over and inserted it into the mayor's neck and forced the contents of the needle into her. She walked back over to her cart and grabbed the two remaining needles. She inserted one into the mayor's left flank, and the other into her right.
"Now," Pinkie said as she clapped her forehooves together, "in a little while you're entire body will be numb and we can continue!"
Mayor Mare by this point knew it was pointless to beg for her life. The blood from her new wound ran into her mouth. She spit most of it out, but the horrible coppery taste still remained. She began to sob once more as she began thinking back on life.
'What have I done to deserve this?' she thought to herself.
True to her word, after about a minute the mayor's entire body was blissfully numb. Pinkie Pie tested this by poking and prodding her with a knife a few times and watching her reaction.
"Goodie! Now, you have to be patient mayor." Pinkie started as she turned back towards her cart, "I've never done anything like this before! Oh, it's going to be so much fun!" Pinkie squealed.
She picked up her scalpel and made her way back to Mayor Mare. Mayor Mare's eyes followed the reddened blade as Pinkie Pie placed it at the base of the hide on the mayor's left foreleg. Gently, Pinkie began making a cut straight up to Mayor Mare's shoulder. She returned the blade to where she began her incision and ran it around the mayor's leg.
Mayor Mare began hyperventalating once more, as she saw the blood begin to pool beneath her leg.
"What are doing to me now?" she asked in a fearful tone.
"I've never skinned a pony alive before!" Pinkie said with sparkles in her eyes, "I mean, I've done it plenty of times before, but they had already been harvested." Pinkie explained.
"WHAT!?" Mayor Mare shouted.
She tried to move but her body won't obey her mind. All she could do was just lay there and watch as her hide was reomoved from her body. Pinkie Pie grabbed her curved knive once more and skillfully began taking the hide off of Mayor Mare's leg. She screwed her face up in concentration, and slowly removed the hide from the leg. She had to stop when she reached the corkscrew, and in order to continue, she had to remove it.
Pinkie Pie unscrewed the limp leg from the table, but when she tried to completely unscrew the corkscrew, it wouldn't come out. Pinkie Pie looked at it and smiled. She turned her smile towards Mayor Mare's face.
"Good thing you're numb mayor!" Pinkie exclaimed.
"Why is that?" she asked in a hoarse voice.
"Because now it's time for the twist!" Pinkie squealed as she twisted the corkscrew.
The bones broke and the flesh tore as Pinkie Pie twisted the corkscrew again and again, until finally she was able to remove it from the limb. She walked over to the others, and surprisingly they came out with relative ease compared to the first one.
After the corkscrews were removed Pinkie Pie continued to skin Mayor Mare alive. She started skinning her other limbs one by one until the hide hung from them at the shoulders and flanks, then proceeded onto the mayor's chest. Pinkie placed her scalpel just below the mayor's neck and cut around it. She then moved it over and cut a long vertical incision from her first cut all the way down to just above the mayor's nether regions. From there she made two diagonal cuts, one to where she stopped cutting on the the left flank, the other to the right. Pinkie placed her scapel down on the cart and grabbed her curved knife again.
"Gee mayor, it's awfully warm in here isn't it?" Pinkie asked as she moved closer to the mayor, "Here let me take your coat."
Pinkie set about removing the remaining layer of skin from the mayor as she chuckled at her joke. She carefully cut the hide away from the mayor's chest then paused. She needed to flip the mayor over so she get finish her work. Pinkie grabbed the mayor and pulled her onto her back. She then did something simular to a buck and flipped the mayor back onto the table.
The mayor landed with a thud. She tried to catch herself, but the medication's effect was still in full force. She watched as the table rushed towards her and closed her eyes before impacting it. She was now on her stomach which she was sure that if the medicine wasn't in her now, would've been the most painful thing she had ever felt. She sobbed helplessly as Pinkie Pie began humming and resumed her work. Pinkie Pie removed the hide from the mayor's back quickly and held it up so the mayor could see it.
"I did a really good job didn't I mayor?" Pinkie asked joyfully.
The mayor didn't answer. She just stared numbly at her once beautiflu coat, that was now dripping blood. Pinkie Pie gingerly folded it like she would her pajamas and walked back over to the mayor.
"Okay mayor! It's time for the final round!" Pinkie said with a hint of finality.
Mayor Mare wasn't listening. She was busy staring at her hide. She looked down at her muscular form and she wanted to cry, but for some reason she couldn't. She accepted the fact that she was really going to die like this.
Pinkie Pie picked her scalpel back up, and placed it above the mayor's pelvis. She made a horizontal cut before moving it up to just under her rib cage and made another horizontal cut. She finally made a vertical cut to connect the two horizontal cuts.
"Well mayor you're taking this much better than I expected you to!" Pinkie said with a smile.
Pinkie openned the mayor's abdominal cavity, and stared stary eyed at the mayor's organs. Pinkie reached in and began by removing the large intestine. She pulled it out, tied a loop on one end of it, and swung it over her head like a lasso.
"Look mayor I'm Applejack!" Pinkie said as she began impersonating the cowpony, "Yeeha everypony! Let's raise this barn!"
Pinkie dropped the intestine and pulled out the small intestine next. She squeezed out the fecal matter and stretched it out. She then began to strum it and whistle a random song. Pinkie felt like she should try to remember the song for later as she dove back in. She pulled out the mayor's liver, kidneys, pancreas, bladder, and stomach in her accustomed sequence.
After she had finished with the removal of the intestines she looked into the mayor's eyes and realized something, "Wow! Mayor you're still awake! Well that's a first!"
Pinkie put on her thinking cap. For somepony to last this long called for something that would make this truly memmorible. Inspiration struck and Pinkie dashed off to one of the rooms back corners. She returned with some wood, a can, and some matches.
She spread the wood on the floor, and started pouring what ever was in the can on it. She then walked back over to the table and pulled the mayor off. She drug her across the floor, leaving a bloody path behind her, to the where the wood was and hoisted the mayor onto the wood. It was then that the mayor smelled the distictive odor of kerosine. Pinkie lit a match and the mayor just watched.
"Mayor, it's been really fun, but it's time for me to get cooking." Pinkie said as she tossed the match onto the kerosine soaked wood.
Flames shot up immediately and the mayor screamed as flames engulfed her vision. Pinkie Pie smiled and pulled out some marshmellows and a stick from nowhere. She pushed the marshmellow onto the end of the stick and stuck it into the fire. After a few seconds it was golden brown so she rotated it and when that side was finished she plucked it off and popped it into her mouth. She turned her attention back to the mayor, whose body was now getting charred.
Mayor Mare's eyes finally drifted close for the last time, and Pinkie Pie smiled. She had always wanted to find out what her cupcakes would taste like if she cooked the pony first, and now she would find out. 'Who knows, it could create the perfect cupcake.' Pinkie mused to herself.
If she thought about it hard enough, it seemed like she could relive the events of today all over again.
