Pinkie Pie was holding one of her famous birthday parties for Flutter Shy and they were just begging to cut the cake. "Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you!" They sang cheerfully for their shy friend.

"And many more!" Added Pinkie at the end. Then, the mane six gathered around as the yellow pegasus as she took her first bite. "You girls really didn't need to do this. I was just going to stay at home and play with the animals." Flutter Shy said gratefully, "But I guess there's no stopping Pinkie from throwing another party..."

"You know me too well!" Said the pink pony wiping a single tear from her eye. "Well anyway! ARE YOU READY TO PARTY?" She explained hitting a red button which lit up a the room and made it rain multi colored balloons!

Rainbow Dash and Applejack gathered over at the darts board and began to play. "You should have nether crossed me Dash! I've been throw'n these things since I was a filly!" Warned the cow pony confidently.

"Well, you shouldn't have have made fun of Flutter Shy like that! I swore on my life that I would protect her! Don't make me a liar!" Shouted Dash angrily.

"What?"

"Saw it in a movie once... But your still going down! There is no way I'm gonna let a earth pony beat me!" Bragged Dash, "I'm too awesome!"

Meanwhile on the dance floor, Pinkie Pie was rocking out. Jumping of the walls like a mad pony, which she was. Soon after the party pony saw no pony else was dancing. Why? "I must fix this!" She thought to herself. "Hey guys! So, why is no pony dancing?" She said nonchalantly.

"Well, I didn't want to get I in your way so I just kept eating my cake... It's good pinkie..." Flutter Shy timidly said whilst backing away. "Oooh no! Come on! I'll just dance next to you!" Insisted Pinkie Pie before literally dragging the yellow pegasus on to the dance floor.

Twilight stared at them and smiled. Taking a sip from the punch she said, "Isn't this nice." But then noticed the unicorn sitting next to her looking quite disgusted. It was rarity, "you do know that Pinkie lets gummy swim in that punch, right?". Followed by Twilight spitting it out into the cup.

After a few hours the music stops and rarity says apologetically, "Pinkie, I'm sorry but I'm afraid i'll have to go soon. Sweetie Belle might be worried if I don't get back." All six nodded in agreement and soon Sugarcube Corner was deserted and they all set out for home.

One certain alicorn yawned as she trotted toward her tree house and began to think. She had had so much fun today at the party, one of pinkie best! Twilight wished she could do that every day, Well not EVERY DAY, but sometimes. It's good to have company like her friends and she loved them and all but there were other ponies who would spoil their fun or even endanger them. For example, Lightning Dust from the Wounderbolt Academy. That pegasus nearly killed her and her other five friends, for crying out loud! Lucky for Lightning, Twilight had casted a cloud walking spell on herself and the others.

Now, the thing that worried herself is that Twilight had Been having thoughts about ridding these ponies from Equestria maybe banishment but an even darker idea came to mind. What if they were to just, disappear? Just.... die.

Quickly, Twilight shook her head as if to make the idea fall out. Suddenly, she began to stumble and fell over. The next thing she knew her muzzle was deep in the dirt. Angrily Twilight shouted, "Hey! Who tripped me?" She knew no pony would answer but I guess she just had to vent her frustrations.

Then, she felt something like paper underneath her fallen hoof. Confused, Twilight looked up and saw a mysterious looking book lying there. Purple magic surrounded the book as she peered at it. "What is this doing here?" Putting it tightly in her grasp, Twilight regained her posture and continued her trot but it soon evolved into a gallop. "Who would leave a perfectly good book just lying around?!" She cheered. Reading the same stuff over and over can get a bit boring and who wouldn't be happy for something new?

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Twilight was not in the best shape, she knocked on the shutters and spike immediately opened the door for his friend. "Were in Equestria have you been?!" Yelled the baby dragon worryingly. "I thought you exploded or was eaten by a zombie! You should have come back sooner! I was about to-" Twilight then cut him off

"Spike, I'm here now so don't worry." She then gave him a short hug before saying, "Actually, I got a new book for the library. You should be grateful I was so late!" Followed by a slight chuckle (I don't think spike was amused though).

"Well, anyway I've made dinner so do you wanna do eat? Sunflower sandwiches!" Offered Spike but the purple pony just remembered the book. "No, sorry spike but I think I'm going to read my book first." Declined Twilight as she stepped upstairs, "Its my duty to see if these books are appropriate for the public. It might have a... SPELLING MISTAKE!". She then ran up and collapsed onto her bed and followed to take a proper look at the book.

She was caught by surprise to find that the actual title of this book was, "Death Note? As in a notebook of death? What kind of a pony would play a sick joke like this?" Protested the princess with a disturbed look. Despite this, she carried on. She knew that judging a book by its cover is a foolish thing to do.

"The pony who's name is written in this book will die." Her heart then skipped a beat as she narrowed her eyes as if to challenge the book to prove itself.

"The note will not take effect unless you have the pony's face in your mind while writing the name. So ponies with the same name will not be effected.

The cause of death should be specified in the next forty seconds otherwise the pony will simply die of a heart attack.

Details about the death should be written in the next six minutes and forty seconds."

Now, Twilight truly was afraid of the notebook that sat in front of her. Not even the most sadistic or evil pony in Equestria cold dream up a prank like this. But, what if it really was for real. A notebook capable of greater power then Celestia? The things you could do with this! There was only one thing she could do, and that was try it out. It's actually a good thing as well. If this was real and it could kill, then it's extremely dangerous and needs to be destroyed but if it's not no harm done.

If Twilight was going to do this, it had to be done right. To just right down a random name like somebody she is close to suspicion would be placed upon friends or enemies of the victim. So, in other words no killing ponies she knew. Then the thought from early began to tick in her head.  Many ponies do not deserve the position they have. Many ponies take advantage of other or use their gifts to cause trouble or harm others. There is only one kind of pony like that. A criminal.

A string of robberies had been committed and the culprit was on trial but was going to be declared innocent. If he were to be set free then even more discord would be unleashed and Equestria would be one more step towards destruction. Somepony has to put this to a stop!

Soon, Twilight sat down at her desk and started to to think of a plan. There was no way she could just walk in there and say, "Hello I would like to kill one of your inmates with this book!". She began to devise a plan. "Visiting hours at the prison should start soon. I suppose I could just go there and kill him then." Upon hearing that Twilight dismissed it and thought it would be a bit too obvious to walk in there with a notebook called Death Note. Wait, what if it didn't.

Maybe if she was to cover up the title or the cover with a piece of black paper. It's not like the police officer would stop her and take the book from her. Twilight is one of the most respectable and responsible ponies of society. Even if she was to have it taken away and be uncovered then she could just say Celestia requested a list of the ponies on death row in Ponyville.

Levitating the paper Twilight covered all the sides and set out for the prison. As she trotted suspiciously down the dirt roads the princess' sun rose over the horizon accompanied by a set of yellows and reds cascaded across the new morning sky. The air was ruff on her skin and gathered around her hooves when she met the prison doors.

"What am I doing? I can't kill anypony!" She hesitated as she backed away trying to sort her mind out,"No! It's for the good of Equestria." She pushed herself threw the door. She cringed at the horrible smell of sweat and grim when she looked at receptionist. "I'd like to see Iron Sword" She said politely.

"Oh hello Twilight, is that right?" Asked the pegasus at the desk with a smile, "Well why? I didn't figure you would want to come to a place like this.". Twilight thought for a moment and smirked while saying confidently, "Well, I assume you remember I used to be the  student of Princess Celestia. You see she's getting a bit concerned about the amount of ponies getting sent to prison and had me write a list of the inmates ."

Soon after giving some personal information, Twilight went and waited for the robber. Spider webs were in every corner of the room and rats scampered across the floor. Disgusted at her surrounding, Twilight noticed Iron Sword behind the glass and approached him cautiously.

"Well, well, well. Isn't it the princess' little student." Said the prisoner whilst grinning, "So what brings you here?". Stepping towards him Twilight warns, "I'm going to try to kill, if it's alright.".

Iron Sword laughed at her and dismissed her remark confidently, "You do realise your in a jail and there are thousands of police around? You can't do anything!". A silence swept over them when she pulled the book from her saddle bag. "What's that?" He asked. Next a black quill was lifted out and the Death Note was revealed. "Now don't be afraid, it's for the good of your country. It might not even work!"

The quill touched the page and wrote down "Iron Sword".

Forty seconds later his heart stoped...

Twilight panicked. Dropping the note she backed away and yelled for somebody to come and help her, "Help! HELP! Some pony!" Before long the room was packed with police officers but thankfully she had noticed the notebook and picked it up. After a few hours she was aloud to leave because she didn't seem to have any weapons on her and there was no physical damage to the body, Plus there was no spell that could make a pony have a heart attack.

"So this is real... So, I have killed. I don't know why everypony makes such a big idea about this... didn't feel good or anything." Contemplated the purple pony as she sat comfortably on her bed. The window opened and lightning flashed and thunder boomed loudly outside when a mysterious figure walked in.

"Hello princess!" Greeted the creature.
