The next morning ponies were at the town hall. Sweetie Belle had noticed and wanted to know what the commotion was about. What she saw horrified her. It was the dead bodies of Applebloom, Scootaloo, Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara. The newspapers released the news immediately, "SERIAL KILLER MURDERS INNOCENT FILLIES! WHO DID THE MONSTROUS ACT?" the headline of the Equestria Daily said. School had been canceled later that day. Sweetie Belle was hanging by the club house she, Applebloom, and Scootaloo usually went to. Sweetie Belle felt conflicted. She knew who did it. She even understood that he did it because they were trespassing in the first place. But, she still felt sad. Could it be the initial shock of realizing that all her friends were dead? Or was it something else entirely.

Sweetie Belle stood inside the empty clubhouse looking at all there was inside reminding her of the fond times she had with Applebloom, and Scootaloo. The memories came one by one. The day she hid with them when Nightmare Moon returned. The day she and Scootaloo stood up for Applebloom from the, at the time, bullies Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. All the attempts they had at getting their cutie marks. The day they stood up for Troubleshoes. To the day they made a new friend out of Diamond Tiara and got their cutie marks. She remembered it all. But as she remembered, she couldn't help but hear the voices of her fallen friends in her head.

"As of today ya'll, Diamond Tiara is now a cutie mark crusader!"

"R-really?! Th-thank you so much guys!"

"Anything for a friend...."

Scootaloo saying friend repeated in her head. Sweetie Belle couldn't take it any longer and bawled her eyes out onto the floor. Matthew had been looking in the castle until he came upon his old room. There next to his bed was another with a dust plaque above it. Matthew dusted it off to reveal a name. Sundae.

"Ohhh. Sundae." Matthew said in between his tears and sniffs, "I never realized how mush I missed you. I'll kill that traitorus ex friend of mine for not mentioning you in her damn speech! ...... Why? Why did it end like this?"

Matthew suddenly started humming a little tune but elsewhere at the crusader's clubhouse Sweetie Belle had finished crying and was now hold one of Applebloom's bows and started humming a little tune as well.

Matthew: Let's go in the garden
Sweetie Belle: You'll find something waiting
Matthew: Right there where you left it, lying upside down

Sweetie Belle: When you finally find it
Matthew: You'll see how it's faded
Sweetie Belle: The underside is lighter, when you turn it around

Matthew and Sweetie Belle: Everything stays right where you left it
Everything stays
Matthew: But it still changes
Sweetie Belle: Ever so slightly
Matthew: Daily and nightly
Sweetie Belle: In little ways
Matthew and Sweetie Belle: When everything stays

"I used to sing that to Sundae every time she went to bed." Matthew said as he looked at a chest in front of Sundae's bed

"Rarity used to sing that to me every time I went to bed." Sweetie Belle said as she tried putting Applebloom's bow into her hair

"When she got scared from a nightmare I acted as Matt Cordell and threatened anything that came near her at night. Not in the maniac cop sense, but in the fatherly sense." Matthew said as he opened the chest and looked through it

"When I got scared from a nightmare, Rarity would be there in bed with me to keep the 'monsters' away." Sweetie Belle said as she tightened the bow in her hair

"No matter what happened to us." Matthew said pulling out a dusty book

"No matter what happened." Sweetie Belle said as she finished with the bow

"Everything stayed the same." Matthew finished, dusting off the book to reveal the word "Memories"

"Everything stayed the same in the end." Sweetie Belle finished as she headed towards the door of the clubhouse

Matthew started to tear up, as did Sweetie Belle as she exited the clubhouse.

"I guess I was wrong." Matthew and Sweetie Belle said

"Everything changes in the end no matter what." Sweetie Belle said as she saw Sweet Apple Acres in the distance, "It's our fear of change that leads to us to not wanting it. When change does happen-"

"-all hell breaks lose." Matthew said sitting on his old bed

Sweetie Belle was now at her home at Rarity's shop. She hadn't seen her and her friends all day since the discovery. Then she remembered Matthew.

"I'm visiting him tomorrow." She said to herself

Spoiled Rich, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack was heartbroken. Applebloom, Applejack's only sister, was dead. Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash's biggest fan, was dead. And Diamond Tiara, Spoiled Rich's pride and joy, was dead. Silver Spoon's parents were not taking it any easier. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Spoiled Rich were at Sugarcube Corner at a table looking at each other. Spoiled looked like she had been crying all day. Applejack's mane was no longer in it's iconic ponytail. and Rainbow Dash's mane was dirty and messy. No pony had said a word to each other.

"It's not fair." Rainbow Dash said, "IT'S NOT FAIR! HOW COME SWEETIE BELLE GETS TO LIVE AND SCOOTALOO, APPLEBLOOM, SILVER SPOON, AND DIAMOND TIARA DON'T!"

"Bullshit is what it is." AJ said

"I-I need to go." Spoiled said, "I've got a meeting today at the school board and I don't exactly have a lot of time right now to do this."

Spoiled then got up from the table just in time as Rainbow began crying into the table. Spoiled then exited the building and passed by a dark ally, unaware of the sound of something being tossed in the air.

Spoiled Rich soon arrived and the meeting went on without a problem. Soon though it reached night time by the time the meeting ended and everypony was off to their homes. Spoiled was in the middle of the road when she heard a strange noise.

"Who's there?!" spoiled shouted into the darkness, "Show yourself!"

Cordell looked on as Spolied Rich had no idea where he was. Slowly without making a sound he pulled out his handcuffs. Spoiled was gettign paranoid as she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

"WHERE ARE YOU!" Spoiled shouted

Spoiled Rich suddenly felt herself grabbed from behind and pushed down to the ground.

"WHAT THE?!"

Before she could even think, she was being cuffed.

"NO! NO! NOOO!" Spoiled shouted out of fear, "LET ME GO!"

Spoiled was then fully cuffed. The "pony" then got off of her and allowed her to move only for her to toss and turn onto her back which gave her a perfect look at her bipedal captor as he pulled out the blade from his billy club.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Spoiled screamed in terror

But then seconds later, silence.
