Twilight kills herself a lot

Applejack eyed the tray on Pinkie's head. She took a cupcake and stared at it some more. She looked like she was going to take a bite, then looked over and the rest of us standing nearby, especially Fluttershy. She stopped at looked right at Pinkie.

"Now you ain't fibbing about this here cupcake being a peace offering, is ya?"

"A piece of what?" asked Pinkie, and tilted her head. "I don't get it."

"Look, this here treat ain't got no poison or nothing like that in it right."

"I Pinkie promise, there is nothing in that cupcake poisonous in any way."

"Okay then."

Then she bit into the cupcake. This was followed by a "yow" for AJ and she dropped the cupcake. We all looked down at the weird thing in the center of the cupcake. It was mostly white with a little black bit of metal at the top.

"What the hay Pinkie?" asked AJ

"Is that thermite?" asked Twilight

"I dunno, Firecracker told me but I forgot. I know she said it explodes really good. Normally I just get firecrackers from her, but this time I got something much more explody. She said since I'm an element it must be okay."

"You were going fill me full of dynamite and blow me up?"

"It's proabably much greater than that." Twilight blinked. "Wait, if each cupcake has the same amount of explosive and…" Twilight trailed off beginning to mumble

"Uh, yeppers. Didn't work though. Couldn't you just eat one anyway. Twilight is like 80% back to happy and if she's 20% more happy she'd be back to normal."

"But you lied to me. You pinkie promised that…"

"There was no poison. Sorta like how a pony might promise they would tell you something at breakfast, but then not show up at breakfast."

"Er…" AJ looked away, ears laying back. Then after a moment shook her head and looked Pinkie in the eyes again. "Now wait a tic. This ain't the same thing at all."

"It's not like you're gonna stay dead silly willy."

"Yea, you're just being totally stubborn and unreasonable about this."

"Ah'm being unreasonable? Ya'll completely lost it. Ah wanna say ah'll call the guard if ya don't leave, but ah reckon that wouldn’t do any good, and ah guess ah don't quite want to go that far anyhow." AJ turned around. "Ah'd still appreciate it ya left."

There was just silence as AJ walked away. Rarity arrived with the wagon full of stuff just then Fluttershy with her. She conned two stallions into pulling it here of course. After they unhitched themselves they took one look at Twilight, and quickly left. They didn't quite run, but close enough it was real clear they at least sort of wanted to. Pinkie was staring at the direction AJ had left from.

"I'm so confused. I mean we have to make Twilight happy, but it's making AJ unhappy, even though it should make her more happy. I mean infinite more birthday parties. How could anypony not want that?"

"It certainly has a number of advantages." Said Twilight "I still don't understand why she's resisting this so strongly."

I sighed. "You really don't, do you?"

"Nothing for it really. Come on now Twilight, we shall try one of your plans first, then mine, and so forth. Thankfully we will not come to Dash's plan too quickly."

"Just cause it took only a few seconds doesn't mean it's not good. Also we totally only know Twi's plans so why should I tell you anything if everypony else is keeping it secret. Even Fluttershy didn't say anything."

"Oh I just don't want to embarrass myself. I'm sure it's not very good."

Pinkie was next to Fluttershy, hoof over her shoulder. "Don't be silly Fluttershy, I'm sure your plan to murder AJ is the best and will totally work."

"Um…"

There was a short awkward silence that of course Pinkie soon broke. "What?"

"Saying it out loud does make one question things." Said Rarity

"It does sound bad, but really, it's nothing." Added Twilight

"Yea, I guess." I shook my head. "No, forget that. No guessing, most of the time this would be super wrong, but now it's just like, uh, rude."

"It is certainly that yes." Rarity laughed.

"So, uh, where are we going to set this up and isn't there more?"

"Oh, no darling this is just for my own idea mostly. Death, by fashion."

I smiled. "That is so awesome. I mean yea it might end up being totally lame in action, but killing AJ with a dress. Awesome idea."

"How do you plan to get AJ in a dress?" asked Twilight

"Ah, but you haven't see it. She will not be able to resist."

I had a feeling it just went from awesome to a laugh riot, but I wasn't sure yet. Besides we had to do Twi's first plan in AJ's barn right now. It looked really awesome too, at least the little drawings she made sure were.
