Pinkamena and Cheese Sandwich
Chapter Two: Two Weeks Later
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt had been two weeks since Pinkie Pie had revealed her secret to Cheese, and she had just run out of her special ingredient. Immediately after Sugarcube Corner closed, Pinkie Pie started off towards Cheese’s house, remembering the promise she made to him. When she arrived she saw that Pegasus again, she was leaving Cheese’s house.
“Hi!” Pinkie Pie said cheerfully. The Pegasus cringed at the sound of another pony’s voice, “What’s your name?” Pinkie asked.
“W-who? Me?” she asked, “Oh, I’m nopony important.” Pinkie Pie got a good look at her since it was daylight and not dark. Her coat was the same color as Rainbow Dash’s, if not lighter. She had a white mane with gray streaks in it; it was styled like Fluttershy’s mane, only it was pulled back behind her ears. Her eyes were a light green color. She seemed very shy; her cutie mark was an autumn tree with its leaves falling down. Her wings clung to her sides as though she was scared something was going to rip them off if she opened them.
“Oh sure you are,” Pinkie Pie said trying to lift her spirits. “Everypony’s important to me! So, what’s your name? I’m Pinkie Pie!”
The mare sighed, “My name’s Candy Leaves” she stood up straight, “It’s nice to meet you, Pinkie Pie,”
“Ooh, that’s a cool name!” Pinkie Pie asked pretending she wanted to be friends with the pony who was trying to steal her super special somepony from her.
She sighed again, “Sure.” she turned away, opening her wings getting ready to fly away.
“Bye Candy Leaves!” Pinkie Pie called as she took off. She then went and knocked on Cheese’s door, “Hey Cheese, its Pinkie Pie!” she called cheerfully. The door opened almost immediately.
“Hi Pinkie!” Cheese said excitedly.
“Guess what!” Pinkie Pie said in a sing-songy voice.
“Is it what I think it is?” Cheese asked as she trotted in. Cheese closed the door behind her. She nodded a huge smile on her face.
“Tomorrow I’ll need your help harvesting.” She said quietly in case somepony else was listening to their conversation.
Cheese nodded, “So, who will my first victim be?” he asked mostly to himself chuckling silently.
“Oh, I think I know the perfect pony,” Pinkie said with an evil chuckle, thinking of Candy Leaves. “Do you know anypony named Candy Leaves?”
Cheese seemed startled, “Yeah, actually I threw a party for her once, a super duper long time ago, but I ran into her a couple weeks ago. That’s who were going to kill?”
“Yeah, is that going to be a problem? Because I can do by myself if it is.” Pinkie said suddenly worried that Cheese was cheating on her.
“What? No of course not, I can handle it.” Cheese said sort of nervous.
“Okie-dokie-lokie!” Pinkie Pie said, “So then tomorrow I’ll lure her to Sugarcube Corner and then I’ll invite you over so you can help with the harvest!”
“Alright, then I’ll see you tomorrow.” He kissed Pinkie Pie on the cheek and she smiled and then left. Cheese was left alone worrying about tomorrow, he had been so excited for this day to come, but now that he knew who they were going to kill, he felt nervous.
The next day Pinkie Pie saw Candy Leaves in the street just before Sugarcube Corner was closing and it was perfect because Mr. and Mrs. Cake were gone for the day to deliver a batch of cupcakes to somepony in Canterlot. Pinkie hurried over to her, “Hey! Candy Leaves! It’s me, Pinkie Pie!” She noticed Candy Leaves hunch over trying to ignore Pinkie Pie, but when Pinkie Pie made it over to her she could pretend.
“Hi Pinkie Pie,” She said pretending to be happy to see her, “how are you today?”
“I’m fantasteriffic!” she squealed. Candy Leaves cringed. “Hey, you should come with me to Sugarcube Corner! That’s where I work; I’ll give you a free cupcake since we’re friends now! Come on!”
Candy Leaves sighed and rolled her eyes, “Fine.” She said and followed Pinkie Pie to Sugarcube Corner. When they got there Pinkie Pie handed Candy Leaves a cupcake with sleeping powder sprinkled on top of it. Candy Leaves took a bite of it and her expression changed.
“Wow, Pinkie Pie, this is really good,” she finished it off quickly, "I’ll have to come back here for some more!” She then started swaying back and forth, the sleeping powder taking effect. She started to say something but it was slurred and Pinkie Pie couldn't understand it. Once Candy Leaves fell asleep, Pinkie Pie dragged her behind the counter; she closed the store and then dragged Candy Leaves down into her torture chamber. She strapped her into the backless table with the leather straps. Then she left to fetch Cheese Sandwich.
She headed off towards his house and when she got there he was pacing back and forth in his living room. “Cheese, are you alright?” Pinkie asked. “I've got Candy Leaves tied up in the basement, everything is ready.”
“Uh, yeah Pinkie I’m totally fine, let’s go,” he walked out the door and started off towards Sugarcube Corner; Pinkie Pie right behind him. When they got there they went right down to the torture chamber, Candy Leaves was still asleep.
“So, do we just kill her while she’s sleeping?” Cheese asked.
“No, of course not silly, we wait until she wakes up, then we introduce ourselves and then we start torturing her.”
“Oh, yeah, of course,” Cheese said like he knew that’s what was going to happen all along. He needed to make a good impression on Pinkie Pie, especially if he was going to reveal his true feelings to her. They paced back and forth for a while until Candy Leaves finally started to wake up.
“Oh, look, she’s finally waking up,” Candy Leaves heard the familiar voice of Pinkie Pie.
“Huh, where am I? W-what’s happening?” She asked, starting to get frightened. She looked up and saw Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich looking up at her. Pinkie Pie had an evil look on her face and her mane had deflated, becoming straight; Cheese’s mane had also become straight. He also looked evil, or maybe he looked insane, Candy Leaves couldn't tell. She then looked around the torture chamber seeing all the painted pony skulls and the banner. She became more and more frightened. Then she saw the torture tables full of instruments and she screamed.
“Do you like it?” Pinkie Pie asked with a crude laugh. Candy Leaves was freaking out and when she noticed Pinkie Pie’s cutie mark dress displayed next to the banner she screamed again.
“Oh my Celestia! Are those pony’s cutie marks?” She screamed.
Pinkie Pie laughed, “Yes of course, what else would they be made out of?” she trotted over to the torture tables picking up a scalpel.
“W-what are you going to do with that?” Candy Leaves stuttered.
“I’m going to cut off your cutie mark.” Pinkie Pie said casually, walking over to Candy Leaves flank. “Now stay still, it’ll hurt less.”
Candy Leaves followed her advice, staying as still as she possibly could. She bit her lips trying her hardest not to scream, but she ended screaming through clenched teeth.
Tears poured out of her eyes as Pinkie Pie removed the flesh off her flank. Pinkie Pie carefully placed it upside down on a table so the blood could dry.
She moved to the other side of Candy Leaves’ flank and was about to stick the scalpel into her flesh when she remembered that Cheese Sandwich was also there, “Oh, yeah,” she said to herself and she turned to him, “Cheese, would you like to do this one?” She asked casually.
“Sure.” He said walking over to Candy Leaves’ right flank. Pinkie Pie handed him the scalpel and he carefully started cutting a circle around her cutie mark. Candy Leaves screamed this time, it was loud and Cheese flinched going slightly deeper in his incision. Candy Leaves screamed louder, her voice cracking slightly. Cheese finished and pulled her flesh off in the same manner Pinkie Pie did; he carefully set it upside down next to Candy Leaves’ other cutie mark.
“And next, the wings,” Pinkie Pie said happily, picking up a chainsaw.
“Oh, sweet Celestia!” Candy Leaves cried, “Please, not my wings!” she started crying again, her tears running down her face and her body stinging her open wounds where her cutie marks had been cut off.
Pinkie laughed insanely as she pulled the cord that started the chainsaw. It revved up and Candy Leaves shrieked. She started struggling in her bindings, screaming as loud as she could. Her screams were barely audible next to the sounds of the chainsaw running.
Pinkie Pie walked on her two back hooves behind Candy Leaves with the chainsaw in her two front hooves. Cheese held out one of her wings and Pinkie swung the chainsaw down on her wing; it came off smoothly, like a knife cutting butter. She went to the other one and sawed it off; just like the first one, it flew off quickly and smoothly.
As Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich laughed like insane maniacs, Candy Leaves screamed in horror and pain. Tears poured down her cheeks and blood ran down her lower back and her back legs. Pinkie Pie put the chainsaw back where it had been before and she started searching the torture tables for what she should do next.
“Aha!” Pinkie said as she picked up a regular knife. She went up to Candy Leaves and started cutting slits in her torso. She screamed in agonizing pain as Pinkie Pie slowly cut small to medium sized slits in her. Once Pinkie had cut a reasonable amount of slits, she went back over to the table and put the knife back up. Then she grabbed a thin wire and scissors. She threaded the wire through the slits in Candy Leaves. She used the scissors to cut the wire to make it into shorter pieces. She tied all the wires together and pulled on them, gently at first, and then harder. Candy Leaves torso ripped open, her flesh flying everywhere. Candy Leaves looked like she was trying to scream; but the only sound that came out of her mouth was a hoarse whisper. Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich where covered in blood and pieces of Candy Leaves detached hide.
“Why?” Candy Leaves sobbed, “Why are you doing this to me?” her voice was quiet and tired; Pinkie Pie barely heard what she had said.
“Well you see,” Pinkie started. “Your number came up and I just ran out of my special ingredient.”
“Your s-special ingredient?” Candy Leaves asked.
“Yeah, you see, when I first started making cupcakes, I just couldn't make them taste perfect. So I went searching for a special ingredient. I accidentally cut myself and licked the blood off my hoof, realizing that it was just the thing I needed to make my cupcakes taste perfect!” Pinkie explained.
“Wait, so you kill other ponies and bake them into cupcakes?” Candy Leaves asked, horrified.
Pinkie Pie giggled, “That’s everypony’s reaction,” she picked a syringe and walked back over to Candy Leaves. She stuck it in a part of her torso that hadn't been ripped open.
“W-what was that?” Candy Leaves asked; starting to feel tired.
“That,” Pinkie Pie answered, “was anesthesia; it will make you numb so you can’t feel anything when I rip out the rest of your organs.” She got another syringe, “and this is adrenaline; it will help you stay awake until you’re dying breath.” She giggled and plunged the needle into Candy Leaves’ stomach area, and then she and Cheese waited for them to take effect.
They all waited in silence, Pinkie Pie and Cheese both pacing back and forth across the room. After about fifteen minutes Pinkie asked Cheese if he wanted to be the one to rip out her organs. “Don't mind if I do!” He said trotting over to Candy Leaves. Pinkie grabbed the bucket that was meant to hold the organs; and she stood next to Cheese as he placed himself in front of Candy Leaves. He carefully reached for an organ, he pulled out her right kidney, detaching it and tossing it in the bucket. Then he went for her left kidney, doing the same as the first.
“You know Candy Leaves, I should really tell you,” Pinkie Pie started as Cheese was pulling out her liver. “You did an amazing job, you hardly struggled and you didn’t scream when I cut your cutie marks off. You have earned my respect.”
Candy Leaves tried to be sarcastic, “Gee, that’s such a nice thing to say,” She paused taking in a deep wheezing breath, “especially when you’re about to kill me,” Cheese pulled out her spleen and Candy Leaves’ pancreas just decided to fall out as well. They both slipped into the bucket, splashing in the blood; and Candy Leaves moaned.
“Oops,” Cheese said and then pulled out her stomach, but it slipped in his hooves and fell to the ground, its contents spilling on the floor.
“Oh, look!” Pinkie said, “There’s the cupcake I gave you,” she pointed a colorful glob of mush and giggled.
Cheese continued and he pulled out her large intestines putting them in the bucket as he pulled more and more of them out. He moved on to her small intestines doing the same. Then he ripped out one of her lungs. Candy Leaves eyes went wide and her breathing pace shortened. He ripped out her other lung and as she was struggling to get air, he said, “It was nice knowing you Candy Leaves,” and then he ripped out her heart. Her eyes turned colorless and lifeless as she slipped away into the land of the dead.
Cheese dropped her heart in the bucket and Pinkie Pie trotted over to the torture tables and set the bucket down. “Was that fun or what!” she squealed; but Cheese just started at Candy Leaves’ dead body. Pinkie Pie suddenly got serious, “Cheese, is there something wrong?”
“That was the first pony I killed that I knew.” He said sort of sadly. He sighed and turned away from her body and walked over to Pinkie. They were both covered in Candy Leaves’ blood and flesh.
“I’m sorry Cheese,” Pinkie Pie said sympathetically. “Are you going to be alright? I can clean up myself if you’re not up to it.”
“No its fine, I can help,” he yawned, “but maybe we could do it tomorrow?” he asked sleepily.
“Yeah sure, but we do need to wash ourselves off first,” she said gesturing to the blood in their manes and on their coats.
“Uh… Right.” Said Cheese.
The two ponies washed themselves off and then Cheese went home and Pinkie went up to bed. Pinkie Pie slept soundly that night; knowing that the pony she loved accepted her evil doings and that she had a fresh supply of her special ingredient.
Cheese on the other hand could hardly fall asleep. He felt as though he were being haunted by Candy Leaves’ ghost. He kept thinking about her and how horrible it had been to torture and kill somepony he actually knew. Her final moments continued replaying in his head. The moment when he yanked her heart out and he started into her eyes as they turned lifeless and gray. He supposed that he would have to get used to it if he was going to start helping Pinkie Pie harvest her special ingredient occasionally.
