Twilight kills herself a lot

I was looking at my charred corpse. There were two of them now. Well unless Twilight did something with the first one. There were a few more pony corpses around the equally charred field. I was trying not to think about why Pinkie was poking about her own corpse so much. Twilight was just staring at the mess. Rarity was comforting Sweetie Belle, and AJ yelling at Applebloom. Scoots was beside me.

"That was so awesome Dash. I mean you told us you'd be fine so I wasn't too worried, but then there was wind, and a weird little cloud, and then boom, suddenly you were back. I guess Fluttershy did almost the same thing, but you did it at least 20% cooler, maybe even more."

I sighed. "Uh, yea, I guess. This was a bad idea wasn't it."

"Huh, why?"

"I don't understand." Said Twilight. "There was nothing explosive in it. Most of it was even metal, so it shouldn’t have been able to just catch on fire like some sort of wooden device, yet…" she trailed off

"Ah told you…" started AJ

"And ah told ya we didn't do nothing bad. Miss Twilight just asked me to go find you and lead you here."

"I try to keep them away but they are nearby a troubling amount of the time."

"Yea, I used to try to chase them off, but I figure whatever." I added

"Really?" said AJ "If they really ain't bothered none then why is Sweetie crying."

"Because she is under the mistaken impression this is all her fault." Said Rarity. "That is of course impossible."

"This whole mess is impossible." Added Twilight

"Twi, just let it go. Besides I think that thumping means Fluttershy is here."

Her ear flicked "Oh I do hear something but what exactly is…"

Twi just stared at the manticore now pretty much in front of us. She looked surprised not afraid. She had a smile on her face again soon. Fluttershy was indeed flying right above him. Was that the same manticore from the forest?

"Twilight, could you please teleport Applebloom home."

"You might as well send scoots home too." I added

"Awww." Added Scoots

I'm not really sure where she lives so you'll have to take her back yourself later."

I laughed "Oh, right."

The second Applebloom vanished Manny attacked AJ. She spun around and gave him a good buck. There was a resounding crack and he fell to the ground in a heap. I guess AJ's been working out or something. Fluttershy was soon next to him fussing over the huge unconscious beast, crying the whole time.

"You didn't have to hit him so hard. He was just doing me a favor."

"Sorry sugarcube, but he's still breathing, ain't he?"

"It was just so mean. I mean you didn't even try to run away or kick him lightly, you just kicked as hard as you could."

"Now look here sugarcube Ah'm sorry but ya'all are trying to kill me and…"

AJ had got closer to Fluttershy and suddenly the tears vanished and she stabbed AJ with a small hypodermic needle. There was total silence for at least a few minutes.

"So, that just happened, right?" I asked

"Ah guess so. So what did you just dose me with."

"Oh it's a powerful poison from one of my snake friends and…"

"That won't work." Said Twilight "Earth ponies are heavily resistant to all sorts poisons, but snakes most of all."

"Ah was wondering why other than itching nothing was happening."

"Oh my, so you don't feel hot, and your throat isn't dry?"

"Enope."

Fluttershy looked down. "Then I failed." Then she blinked and looked up "Wait, did I really want to be good at killing ponies?"

"Darling, I must ask, how exactly did you come up with this plan."

"Yea, it was all like…" Scoots paused a second. "I'm so sad, and then you were like, bam I was faking the whole time. Totally a super villain move, but still cool, and well, you know, you're Fluttershy and all."

"Oh well I was supposed to think of something, but I was having a hard time so I asked Angel for ideas."

"Oh." The rest of us echoed.

"Uh, Rarity, are you really sure you're not mad about…" began Sweetie Belle

"I think I shall go home for a bit. Go on without me everyone."

"So now ah only got four ah mah friends trying to murder me. Well it's something ah guess. Better is better."

"I will be back, and you Applejack are just being needlessly stubborn."

"Ah'm leaving too. Ah don't need to be in this part of the fields no more and ah really don't want to be."

I glared at her as she left. I mean I guess now she has a good reason to be mad at us, well sorta, but she's been acting this way the whole time. Stupid AJ.
