Pinkamena 6: The Walking Dead

It was night time now. Pinkamena made sure that Kat and Zack stayed in the shop. She sat in a chair, looking at Zack and Kat who were sitting on the floor. They were leaning up against the wall.

"Now I need to make a little trip." said Pinkamena. "Can I trust that you two will stay here? Or will I have to kill you both?"

"We'll stay." said Kat softly.

"Sorry?" said Pinkamena. "Speak up."

"I said we'll stay." she said louder.

Pinkamena smiled. "Fantastic."

She got up form the chair and left the shop. She traveled to Sugarcube Corner, sneaking inside. She crept up the stairs and made her way down the hall. She continued to the end and quietly entered the last room on the left. She walked over to the bed and stared down at May. She smiled slightly as she ran a hoof through her mane. She suddenly remembered a moment they shared at the hospital.

"Don't kid yourself, girl." said Pinkamena with a yawn. "Tell me what you really feel about me."

"What I really feel?"

"And don't lie because..." She tapped a hoof to her head. "I'll know."

May was about to say something but just sighed instead .

"All right." she said, taking a deep breath. "I think you're evil. Pure evil. No pony likes you and no pony ever will.... But..."

"But?" asked Pinkamena. "Go on."

"But when you're sleeping, you look so peaceful and..." May sighed again. "kind of... pretty." she finished hesitantly.

"Pretty?" asked Pinkamena, lifting her head. "How so?" She almost sounded intrigued by what May was saying about her.

"When you don't have a scowl and your eyes are closed... you look nice." May explained. "And your hair is, despite who you are, very beautiful. It's long and straight and I've noticed how it glistens in the light. I think you were a pony who was wronged in the past and decided to wear her hair over to face, as if to hide herself from the world. And deep down, you long for friendship and companionship, which is why you enjoy... cuddling with me. You want to be loved but, at the same time, feared. Your emotions are what drive you to be who you are. It seems you're filled with rage and vengeance that can only be satisfied by causing pain to others. You want others to feel and share your pain. I have a feeling that, somewhere deep down inside, you wish you could end your killings. To put aside your need for revenge and feel what it's like to be loved again. You miss the old days when you were loved by every pony, don't you?" Pinkamena said nothing. She was in shock by how deep May's words were. And... they were all true. "I think you do." May continued. "I think you want to be loved again." She placed a hoof under Pinkamena's chin. The mare didn't even bother shaking May's hoof away. "You want some pony to be your friend. To care about you." She paused again. "To love you."

To Pinkamena's surprise, May leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

"Oh, May." she whispered. "I miss you."

May's eyes suddenly twitched and Pinkamena slowly pulled her hoof away. May squirmed but didn't awake.

"I miss you, too." whispered May.

Pinkamena smiled and kissed her forehead. She then left the room.

"I'm getting out of here." said Kat.

"I don't think that's such a good idea." said Zack.

Kat didn't listen to him. She left the back room and headed out the front door.

Pinkamena had almost gotten back to the game shop when she saw Kat running away. She scowled and ran after her.

Kat ran around to the back of a building and bumped into Pinkamena.

"Where do you think you're going?' she asked.

Zack looked up and saw Pinkamena dragging Kat into the back room. She threw the mare into the wall next to Zack.

"You're lucky I'm in a good mood or you'd be dead right now." She sat back in the chair. "I thought I had made myself clear." She reached up onto a nearby shelf and pulled a game. She opened it, took out the disc, and broke it in half. "I guess I need to teach you a lesson."

She moves towards Kat, broken disc in her mouth.

"Don't!" yelled Zack. "Do me instead!"

"SHUT UP!" yelled Pinkamena. "You weren't the one who disobeyed." She held Kat down by the neck. "Now open your mouth and give me a kiss." said the pink mare through the disc shard in her mouth.

Kat's eyes widened as Pinkamena moved closer.

"Stop!" she screamed. "I WON'T DO IT AGAIN! I PROMISE!"

Pinkamena stopped. "You promise?"

"YES!" cried the mare.

Pinkamena spit out the disc. "Good. I would've hated to have to hurt you this early in the game."
