Only the Good Die Young in Ponyville

Rarity

Rarity was watching a performance of her favorite ballet, “The Rite of Spring” by Igor Stravinsky.  The performance was held during the Grand Galloping Galla in Canterlot as part of the Hearth’s Warming Eve party.

She was wearing a very elegant costume that she designed herself just for the occasion.  It had pink sequins on the bodice, violet feathers on the bottom of the gown, and violet elbow-length gloves made out of satin.

She was enjoying the performance up until the finale of the “The Rite of Spring” when, at about 11:45 at night, a unicorn assassin by the name of James Hix Hoof snuck into Rarity’s balcony, pulled out a derringer pistol, and aimed it right at Rarity!  And just before the finale started, Hoof pulled the trigger and shot Rarity!

Before the assassin could do anything else, he got caught by Rarity’s guards.  They were the Diamond Dogs.  They attacked Hoof from the left and from the right, but Hoof was tougher than the Dogs.  He beat them up, and then jumped off the balcony and shouted out, “Il gioco è fatto!”  (The language was in Italian, and the English translation was “The deed is done”.)  He then escaped out the concert hall using the emergency doors.

The audience was in a sheer panic because the pony who got shot happened to be the Guest of Honor.  And the assassin just killed her!

One of the Diamond Dogs phoned an emergency doctor.  He urged the doctor to come immediately because there has been an unexpected assassination, and one of the audience members got shot.

And after the call was made, the doctor rushed over to the concert hall and looked for the shot pony.  Once he finally found Rarity, he immediately examined her body.  He looked for any given evidence of how Rarity got killed.  He then found a bullet wound at the back of Rarity’s neck.  He then grabbed a special pair of tweezers to pull the bullet out.  Fortunately, it worked!  The bullet was out, but Rarity was still out cold.  So the doctor asked the Diamond Dogs to help carry Rarity to the ambulance that was parked outside the concert hall.  They obliged.

Once Rarity was put in the ambulance, it then immediately rushed over to the nearest hospital.  Along the way, the paramedics hooked Rarity up to a heart meter which measured her heartbeat so they can determine whether she is still alive or not.  The good news was that Rarity’s heart was still beating; the bad news was that her heartbeat was slower than usual.  And that made the doctors and paramedics on board the ambulance really worried.

“Hang in there, Miss.  We’ll save you,” told the doctor from the driver’s seat.  But unfortunately, it was too late.  During the middle of the ride, Rarity breathed her last breath and died.

The date of her death was December 25, 1991, and her age was 21 years old.  Her body was buried at the entrance of the concert hall, the place where the assassination took place.
