Only the Good Die Young in Ponyville

Pinkie Pie

Pinkie Pie’s birthday party was coming up!  Even though she was usually the party planner, she was not the one who planned the party.  Her other friends planned it.  But what happened on one of her previous birthday parties, in which her friends would not tell Pinkie what they have been up to, and Pinkie thought that her friends did not like her anymore, that was nothing compared to this party.  Her friends actually told her about her party.

They told her that the all the treats are only sugary sweets [among the treats were candy, cupcakes, and ice cream], there will be lots of party games, especially Pin the Tail on the Pony, and it’s going to be held at Sugar Cube Corner.  Pinkie was really looking forward to it.  In fact she was so excited, she got the hiccups!

Two days later, all of Ponyville was there, especially all of her PFFs (Pony Friends Forever).  Even Sunset Shimmer was there!  She did all sorts of things.  She participated in all the party games, she got tons of presents (even the ones that she always wanted), and she was even chosen as the first one to wack the piñata.

But the part of the party that Pinkie had the most fun in was eating her sweets.  However, unbeknownst to Pinkie, she had no idea that the cupcakes were infected with a poison very well known in Ponyville.  Its name was arsenic.  And it wasn’t until Pinkie felt the poison take effect until after the party, when her friends and guests walked home.

Her first sign was a terrible belly ache.  At first she thought it was all because of too much sweets.  But a little while later, she was throwing up in the bathroom.  And it didn’t take long until she was calling her friends over to help her figure out what’s wrong with her.

Each pony had different duties.  Twilight was inspecting the sweets, Applejack helped carry Pinkie to bed or to the bathroom (in case she feels like she needs to throw up again), Rarity was bringing medicine over to Pinkie, Fluttershy was in charge of bringing Pinkie’s stuffed animals over to her bed and singing various lullabies to her whenever she needs to go to sleep, and Rainbow Dash read her “Daring Do” books to Pinkie.  Unfortunately, Sunset Shimmer couldn’t come because she thought she didn’t have what it took to help take care of Pinkie.  And that made Pinkie really sad.

About 24 hours later, after almost a whole day of being infected with what Twilight finally determined to be arsenic poisoning, Pinkie Pie died.

The date of her death was May 24, 1998, and her age was 15 years old.  Her body was buried near the entrace of Sugar Cube Corner, the place where her party was held and where she felt very sick.
