Chapter one: What went wrong?
It is a sunny day out in Ponyville. Everypony, or at least most of everypony where outside doing there daily activities, whether that be lunch, sitting on benches or selling apples and maybe consisting some mischief for a flank tattoo. But sadly everything was not perfectly average since the disappearance of Rainbow Dash. After month's of searching for him they finally gave up assuming he was dead. Even still the other Pegasus were still able to do there job sufficiently enough, the other elements of harmony were able to fill in another element so they could still be the mane six. Everything was going back to normal, through rainbow dash was not completely forgotten. The townsfolk built a statue for are now deceit blue friend in honor of him. But what they did not know of rainbow dash's disappearance was because she was turned into a cupcake by pinkie pie.
The mane 6 did there daily activities as with everypony else since there was no real danger out today, or so they thought. Twilight was reading her books and Rarity is creating a new dress. Everything was perfectly normal, especially for Pinkie Pie. Pinkie, since she went insane a couple of months ago, decided to bake ponies into cupcakes, and of course her first target was Rainbow Dash. After Dashie was made into a cupcake Pinkie continued baking with pony meat, luring ponies in one by one. Nopony yet noticed the slow decline of ponies, but soon enough they will take notice and Pinkie knew this all so very well.
Just now, Pinkamina was finishing her latest victim. Scraping any remains of meat she did not get off of the body the first time, she threw the remains into a bucket later to be stored into a freezer upstairs.
Even through he was already long dead, Pinkie Pie could still hear his screams for mercy ringing in her ears. “Arrg! Please stop I will do anything you ask just please let me go!” The fading voice screamed in her ear as she scrapped the bones clean of it's meat.
“Yeah right, if I let you go then there would be no cupcakes silly.” pinkie said to nopony but herself seeing how she was the only pony in the Sugar Cube's Corner basement.
The basement was not just an average basement, this basement had a few extra things here and there, mostly used for Pinkie's chaotic endeavors. On one wall there where sharp tools hanging loosely by some nails that where stained in red, clearly been used recently. The self contained the same things except some dried up meat and a couple of jars. On another wall there were more of the same things to chop and cut flesh and meat. The next wall there was a large Cabinet that hold some regular baking supplies, but also pills and syringes with a few more medical items Pinkie collected over time. They came in handy if pinkie needed to give a dose of pain killers or keep them awake. And in the middle of it all was a table used for strapping ponies so Pinkie could work better without much squirming. She even has a small pink trolly right beside the table to hold a few more pointy objects for faster use.
Suddenly, a timer went off upstairs telling Pinkie that the cupcakes of her recent victim is done and now needed to be cooled down and later used for consumption weather it be for herself or others who come into her shop today. She stopped what she was doing immediately and trotted upstairs thinking about how the cupcakes will turn out.
Pinkie went into the perfectly normal kitchen found in an average bakery or restaurant and took the not so average cupcakes out of the oven and on to the table for to be cooled down. Pinkie cracked a smile seeing the baked goodies. “I do wonder if I put to much caramel in my caramel pony cupcakes, I guess we wait and see.”
The cupcakes where to hot, they would have to be cooled down first. That requires Pinkie to be patient, she thought about what she can do while waiting.
Pinkamina decided it would be a good idea to dispose of the rest of the body down in the cellar right now so it does not attract any unwanted attention. Even through nobody but her ever goes down there anymore, except for the unlucky victims but you can never be to sure of things, even if the cake family moved out. Ever since the Cakes decided to give the shop to Pinkie pie in good health that she will keep it running just the same, and to that it is true since business had stayed at the same steady pace.
Pinkie trotted back downstairs to the basement leaving her cupcakes to cooled down, cleaning the remains of somepony gave her something to do while waiting for them. She entered the basement and looked at the table in the middle of the room and saw the remains of caramels body strapped to her table, the same table which had rainbow dash strapped to a while back that pinkie fondly remembers. Maybe that's because she has a photo album and recordings of there last time together.
Since then they had to get a new element of loyalty so there still the mane six, the pony that was picked was Cloudkicker out of some random events. But Pinkie really did not care much for that mare, she would have picked another pony to be that element instead. her name will come up eventually she thought unstrapping the stallion then carrying the body to the furnace on the wall right next to the shelves.
Pinkie opened the furnace door to set the remains of the body into an already established ash pile and closed the gate. She watched the corpse burn away into ashes through the bars before turning around and heading back upstairs for the cupcakes.
She stopped half way up the stairs as a thought popped into her head. I suppose I could pick another name from the jar right now, today has been kind of slow for customers. Pinkie trotted back down and went straight up to the jar that was sitting on a shelf filled to the brim with sharp pointy things. This jar had most of all the names for Ponyville. She did exclude some ponies names for being a good friend and such or just fillies. The reason she excluded fillies is because they do not not have enough meat in pinkie's defense, also names that were excluded where Derpy hooves and her family, she would hate to break such a loving family apart just for a simple baked good.
Pinkie picked up the glass jar with the name tags right next to a group of needles. She unscrewed the lid and drew out a name that read Thunderlane. Pinkie then set the note down on the shelf for future reference when she goes back to work on making new cupcakes. She trotted back upstairs since by now the cupcakes would have been cooled down for consumption Pinkie thought.
Back in the kitchen the cupcakes laid fresh on the table. What once was a pony now nothing more then a batch of cupcakes to be feasted on by customers and/or pinkie pie. Her stomach growled a bit making a realization that she did not eat much today from being busy and all with that pony.
“I guess on bite wont hurt, how else am I suppose to know if there good or not.”
Pinkie picked up a cupcake that had the remains of Caramel in it with her two hooves. She brought the cupcake right next to her mouth ready to take a bite. Before she was able to chomp down on the pony filled cupcake the shop's doorbell rang furiously attracting pinkie's attention.
Pinkie set down the cupcake back down on the pan with the rest for later consumption and went out to tend to the customer outside the kitchen. There, to her surprise she found something unexpected. There lay a crying Derpy hooves right in front of Pinkamina pie's vision.
Derpy was the towns mail mare, sure she was a bit clumsy at times but was still good at her job. Derpy also has two daughters that she raised herself. Pinkie admired her for being a great and sadly only parent of the two daughters, amethyst hooves and dinky hooves.
Pinkie was curious as to why Derpy was crying, she also wondered where amethyst and dinky were. Whenever Derpy came into sugar cube corner she is usually accompanied by her two daughters, since they, just like Derpy, come here often. Pinkie rushed to the delivery mare wasting no more time and completely forgetting about her cupcakes. Pinkie holed Derpy in a comforting hug.“Derpy what happened?” Pinkie said hugging the distraught mare.
Derpy did not respond right away, all she did was cry for a bit and then soon after fell into silence. It was a terrible scene for pinkie seeing a crying distraught mother.“T-they took them, they took my daughters!.” Derpy wailed. Saying that only brought her back into her original teary state.
Pinkie was shocked, she needed to know who took them. But Derpy was not in a state for telling much, so she decided it was best to get a snack for them both to calm there nerves.
She then left the weeping Derpy to go back to the kitchen and grabbed a muffin for Derpy and a cupcake for herself. The muffin was average, there was no ponies baked into it. She did try to make ponies into muffins but it sadly did not turn out right. Maybe one day she could try again and perfect them just like her cupcakes, but for now she needs to deal with this.
Pinkie left the kitchen, going back into the customer area of Sugar Cube Corner, Derpy was still there weeping to herself silently, whoever said that murderers did not have a heart was clearly wrong for this tore Pinkie's emotions to tears. She walked silently to the gray mare and sat herself down on to the table looking worriedly at Derpy.
The pink mare handed out a muffin to Derpy, she did not go right at it immediately. Instead just sat there on the table weeping some more. But soon enough she did take the muffin from pinkie pie and slowly taking a bit out of it. The muffin was blueberry, one of Derpy's favorites. This made her feel a little better.
“Derpy” Pinkie said staring right into derpy's crossed eyes. “What happened, who took them?”
Derpy looked depressed now, all her tears have been shed. She took another bit out of the muffin savoring the taste for a while before swallowing it down enabling her to answer Pinkie's question “...The child protective services claimed I am not good enough for being a mother.” Derpy explained right out flat. Pinkie gasped.”
Pinkie pie screamed in surprise. “What!? Why would they or anypony think that about you, your one of the greatest mothers in Equestria. I see you and your family all the time, I even babysat Dinky a couple of times, not to mention plan out both children's birthdays.”
Derpy flinched at Pinkie's sudden outburst, but still continued talking. “They think that I am to clumsy to support anyone, even myself. They do not think I am able to handle being a mother, and that I was “Lucky” nothing bad has happened to them as of yet...”
Pinkie was petrified at the response she was given. They sat there in teary silence for a while until Pinkie decided to speak. “Relax Derpy, I will bring your daughters back.” She grinned to herself seeing Derpy's wide crossed eyes in confusion.
“How?” she stated simply.
Pinkie was the next person to take a bite out of the food she gave to herself and Derpy. The cupcake tasted like caramel completely erasing her worries for this new tasting cupcake. She swallowed her bit and spoke up.
“I have a plan, So who runs that place anyways?”
