Twilight kills herself a lot

Well, AJ wasn't glaring at least. She slowly looked at our faces one at a time, then pulled off her hat. She then sort of hit it against her head, then switched sides. She repeated it a few times, and I realized there was one area she was focusing on. For a while she just whistled some old tune with her hat off, until finally she put it back on.

"Okay, one more time just tah make sure my ears aren't playing tricks. All that stuff 'bout the rest of you being immortal is true, and ya want tah kill me to test it?"

"Exactly." Said Twilight, smiling "And you all were worried that AJ would be confused and not agree to this."

"That's not exactly what we said Twi." I added

"Yer all loco. Look, yer my friends, but until ya start making some sense you don't got no business out here, cause I sure don't want to see you."

Applejack then began walking away shaking her head. I really thought Twilight would do something, but she didn't. Rarity went to follow but a quick glare from AJ stopped her in her tracks. Rarity then gasped.

"Are you crying?" asked Rarity

"No, now I told ya, git."

"She is crying." Said Pinkie "Why is she crying. I thought she was okay."

"AJ this is important." Said Twilight. "You have to do this. We'll do it however you want but you have to let us. I have to be sure. I have to be."

AJ said nothing, just kept on walking. Assuming Rarity was right it meant I was missing something, but in the end this was clear. This whole mess would be cleared up if we just did what Twilight wanted. I took to the air.

"She's not going to just give in Twi, blast her. I know I said doing it to Flutters wasn't cool, and it wasn't, but you're right, this has to happen."

"I can't Dash. I don't know why but for some reason Applejack got me to cast a geas on myself. I might be able to break it, but it would take weeks and a great deal of effort. I can't use magic on AJ at all. She was worried I might try to kill her for some reason. I mean that's just completely ridiculous."

I looked at her and raised an eyebrow. Everypony else, even Pinkie was giving her a similar look.

"What?"

"Seriously Twi? I mean seriously?"

She blinked, then laughed. "Oh, that's funny. I can't believe I didn't even notice at first."

"Fine, then I guess the rest of us will just have to kill her."

"That makes sense."

"Totally makes sense." Added Pinkie

"Uhmmmm…" began Fluttershy

I face hooved. "Oh right, I'll explain why more fully later Flutters, AJ's gotta die though, and so I guess you'll have to write at least one more pardon."

"You know, I can still help you plan, and I just can't use my magic on her." She then gasped. "Oh, Rarity I'll have to teach you the pain blocker spell."

"Twilight I have my talents but…"

"It's a very simple spell really. You told me you know basic first aid spells right?"

"Correct. Are you suggesting they are no more difficult than that?"

"Easier than some actually. You even have the basis of the spell down, but we'll need a book back at the library. Come on. You three brainstorm some ideas."

They were gone with a flash. This seemed like a good time to explain why it was so important Twilight know we all couldn’t die permanently. I'm sure Fluttershy would agree though she was going to make things way more difficult too. There just wasn't a nice way to kill somepony, but we were going to have to do our best to try.
