Broken Happiness

Journal of Pinkamena Diane Pie

Entry 1

My name... my name... is Pinkamena Diane Pie... at least, that's what it used to be... before I... I was banished. I lived a very good life, I had a lot of very good friends that I loved very much. I had a family too... three wonderful sisters, a mother and father... I had a beautiful marefriend.

I loved them all. and I would have done anything to see them well...

But now... now I have nothing... I was all alone...

And that's how it was supposed to be...

3/3/2290

It was a cold afternoon in Canterlot, the clouds overhead had gathered and were trembling with pressure, wanting to release a thunderstrike upon the city or cause a downpour. No pegasi were outside to deal with them, they were all inside buildings, some of them however were at the Canterlot cematery, standing over several fresh graves. Mares and foals cried, stallions held onto their families as rain threatened to pour down.

Inside of the castle, within the courtroom, there was something major going on...

The Trial... of Pinkamena Pie... my trial...

"Pinkamena Diane Pie," Princess Celestia's voice boomed inside of the courtroom of Canterlot. Several ponies were inside of the courtroom, unicorns, earth ponies and pegasi, all of them glaring hatefully me as I stood in the middle of the room. Princess Celestia was flanked by Twilight and her friends on one side, and Luna on her other side. "Do you know why you are here today?" She asked me. The princess was known for her motherly tone and how sweet she could be... however, today... there was no motherly tone to her voice... only spite.

I looked up at the princess, my mane had deflated and my coat color had no doubt dimmed to a darker shade. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I cried. "I d-didn't m-mean to!" I blubbered, rubbing at my eyes furiously. "I didn't t-think th-"

"That's right, you didn't think!" Luna bellowed, standing up from where she was seated. "Your actions caused the deaths of ten ponies!" She snorted, fierce blue flames spewing out. I cowered back from her yell, covering my head.

I cried harder, burying my face in my hooves. "I'm s-s-sorry!" I sobbed, my body heaving with each breath. I was hurting so much on the inside and there was no one there to hold me. "I'm s-s sorry! I didn't know!"

Luna shook her head disdainfully, sitting back down. "Pitiful." She scowled, glaring as Celestia stood up.

"Pinkamena Diane Pie," Celestia started, sighing heavily as every pony in the courtroom glared, even my other friends had glares on their faces. Glaring at me with looks of disappointment. "I am sorry to have to do this to you, but... I am afraid that... you must be exiled."

My heart stopped, I felt everything crash around me as I looked up at the princess. "W-what!?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I thought, maybe I was getting jail time or something like that... but they're... they're exiling me?!

The princess returned my sorrowful look with one of hate. "You are being exiled from Equestria, I... I cannot, in good judgement, allow you to stay here after what you have done, accident or no..." She told me as more tears flowed forth from my eyes. "As of now, you are no longer a citizen of Equestria... you are a criminal." Celestia nodded to Twilight, who's horn flared to life and sparkled. In just a few seconds, a pop sounded in the courtroom, I saw that everypony was looking behind me at something, and when I looked... I saw the means of my banishment. "And as such, you are to be banished."

... a mirror.

Celestia and Twilight teleported down to the floor in an instant, I turned back to the princesses in front of me. "Wait!" I cried, "Don't banish m-me! I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean to!" I looked to each of my friends, only to see them look away. "Somepony help me! Please! I don't want to go!"

Slowly, Twilight stepped in front of me I heard a whooshing sound behind me. Twilight looked down at me, and I grabbed onto her, pulling her close to me as I started crying into her neck and pleading with her. "Please don't do this Twi!" I begged her, why would she do this!?

The princess of Friendship only sighed, her horn lighting up with a purple aura. "I'm sorry Pinkie..."

I only cried harder, my voice hurting and my throat burning.

"But I can't help you."

Something shattered inside of me when I heard those words. I slowly pulled away, looking into Twilight's eyes. I looked into her eyes, trying to find something that told me she was lying... "Bu-but... we're special someponies..." I whimpered...

What she said next... broke me completely...

Twilight looked away, her horn flashing. "Not anymore."

Before I could do anything, I felt myself shoved back into the portal... and the last thing I saw before I blacked out.... was Twilight's back turned to me...

Twilight... why?

Entry 2

Have... have you ever, loved someone so much, that the very thought of them breaking up with you made you heart cry out in pain? I haven't... I never thought it would happen in my life... Twilight and I... we... we were special someponies. I loved her, more then I loved anyone before in my life.

And that was taken away from me... just like everything else...

A Few Hours Later

Wake up~

Twilight? I don't want to get up yet.

Wakey wakey~

I moaned as I reached out to grab Twilight, to pull her close and tell her about my nightmare... only, I didn't grab Twilight, instead I felt dirt. I opened my eyes, and everything came flooding back to me in a rush of memories. I felt my heart burn, my eyes stung and I had to fight back a sob. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't... it came, and I couldn't stop. I covered my face and cried into my hooves, I curled up into a ball and just laid there in the dirt... like them mudpony I was.

Every part of me ached and hurt, I couldn't believe what had just happened. My life was going so well, everything was so happy and dandy like always... and in one fell swoop... I screwed it all up, but this time...

I wasn't coming back from it...
