The Shadow Queen

(Pinkie's PPOV)

I hopped along happily whilst humming the smile song. I saw a baby blue necklace and smiled. “It’s pretty!” I exclaimed. I put it on immediately, oh if only I knew what would happen. However, I screamed when I realized I felt I was burning. I awoke in a pure white landscape. “Hello? Hell…o?” I called out. There was no sound except for the echoes of my voice.

“Hello Pinkie Pie.” I yelped hearing the voice; I stepped back, my ears folding down. A black alicorn materialized before me.

“Eek! Who are you?” I squealed.

“I am The Shadow Queen!” the alicorn introduced.

“No, go away! Wait, no… This is just a dream! You’re not real.” I said.

“I AM real! Of course you would not believe that, though, foolish mortal. But I shall kill you and your friends, so Celestia will have nopony to call for help!” Shadow exclaimed. I shook her head.

“To Tartarus with you!” I screamed. Shadow rolled her eyes.

“You test my temper.” Shadow complained through gritted teeth.

I looked around, then up to Shadow. Her face was a twisted smile, and her eyes glinted with hatred, amusement, and sadness all at once. I shrunk back, terrified by this visitor. “N-no! Get away, bitch! I don’t want any of your crap!” I screamed in fury. She sighed.

“Foolish mortal. I hoped you would cooperate. However, I guess desperate times call for desperate measures.”  I felt a burning in my throat and she smiled, becoming a shadow and fazing through me. I blanked out.

I looked through Ponyville. Celestia where IS Pinkie? I fell, hitting my jaw on the ground hard. I saw what I tripped over and gasped. “Pinkie! Are you ok?” I asked frantically. She groaned, picking her head up groggily. “T-Twilight? Where AM I?” Pinkie asked, pretty confused. I put my hoof on her shoulder. “Pinkie, you’re right near your house right now. You should head to bed.” Pinkie nodded and walked off. I trotted off back home.

I twitched. I had an idea, a brilliant one. I called Rainbow on this new doohickey thing called a “Cellphone” I was confused by it, so I read the user’s guide and understood completely. “Hey Dashie, would ya mind helpin’ me out?” I heard Rainbow say ‘Yes’ so I explained what I needed help with. Ingredients, ingredients that were decoys. So I could come in for the kill.

I finally got all the ingredients for Pinkie and got to her house. “Hey Pinkie! Got all your stuff!” I said happily. Pinkie smiled. “Dashie! Could you help me bake, though? Just try this taste test! It’s for what we want it to taste like!” Pinkie said excitedly. I thought for a moment, trying to process that. I nodded, even though I was terrible at baking. I took a bite from the cupcake, and slowly swallowed. It however didn't seem quite right. I was barely conscious; when I dropped the cupcake, shortly followed by myself. When I awoke, I was strapped to a table in the dark. “Pinkie?” I asked, almost screaming.

“Hello, Dashie. I see you’re awake for my special day.” I gulped. The way she said special sent shivers down my back.
