The sad Pinkie Pie sobbed next to her friend's grave. She placed another bouquet of flowers on the dirt in front of Rainbow Dash's grave. It had been a month since she passed away, yet Pinkie still visited everyday. She wished there was a way to get Rainbow Dash back.
"I wan't you back, Dashie", Pinkie said. "I need you..."
"And you will get me back", said a voice. A very familiar voice.
"Dashie?"
"You can get me back".
Pinkie Pie turned around to see Rainbow Dash. She seemed faded, still Rainbow, but as a spirit. As a ghost. The ghostly Dash went far and Pinkie followed. She heard that she could get her friend back, she would do anything. But that may have been taken for granted.
"So what do I have to do?", Pinkie asked.
"Be patient", Rainbow Dash said. "There's more than meets the eye in this deal. To get me back is harder than you might think".
Pinkie stared up at Rainbow Dash. She would do anything to get her back.
"Tell me what I need to do', Pinkie said eagerly.
Rainbow Dash nodded and lead Pinkie Pie to The Castle of Friendship.
"Twilight's place?", Pinkie said confused.
"Listen, we must make a deal", Rainbow said. "And once you start there's no going back. You would do anything? Even if it was hard for you?"
Pinkie nodded. It was true.
"We have five days. If the steps are not done by then, I will die away forever. You will only ever see me again when you die", Rainbow Dash said. Her tone turning much more serious. "Step one, you must kill Starlight Glimmer".
"What! No! She is my friend!", Pinkie exclaimed. "I can't choose between friends".
Rainbow looked at Pinkie Pie and said in an eerie yet calming voice, "You have to. For this is only the first step of me living once more..."
Then, she vanished. Rainbow Dash just turned into thin air. But as this happened, Pinkie heard something.
"five days... choose now... five days... choose now..."
Pinkie knew her what her answer was. But her, a murderer? Maybe it wasn't meant to be. Maybe she just had to wait to ever see Rainbow Dash again.
'No.', she thought to herself. 'I would truly do anything for my Dashie. Especially after what happened before she died...'
Pinkie then began to cry. The events that day would haunt her forever. She knew what she had to do.

Pinkie Pie crept through the empty hallways of the castle. Each step she took echoed through the halls. She thought for a moment, about to regret what she was doing, but then continued walking to Starlight's bed room. After what seamed like hours, Pinkie finally found Starlight's room. She crept open the door and the slightest squeak could be heard. Starlight turned around to see Pinkie Pie with a knife in her hoof. She teleported and ended up in the kitchen. Pinkie turned her back and went searching for Starlight once more.
"Are you okay, Starlight?", Twilight asked. Starlight nodded. But as she turned her head she went running back to her bed room.
Pinkie saw her, and ran as fast as she could. She needed to kill Starlight. She needed Dashie. Gasping and gagging, Starlight stopped to catch her breath. But she realized that it wasn't the best idea. Behind her an angry Pinkie Pie stood.
"Please, let's just make this quick", Pinkie said. "I don't want to do this, either".
Pinkie held Starlight down and looked a way as she stabbed her to death. Blood dripped all over the floor and got onto Pinkie Pie's hooves. She tried to hold back her tears. There was a sad and bitter feeling in her. Guilt. But she did what she had to if she wanted Rainbow Dash back.
She walked to the kitchen to find a wet clot and a trash bag. After she cleaned up the mess she had made, Pinkie cleaned up herself. Ponies were smart enough to know that it wasn't fruit punch on her hooves.
After that, she went searching through the castle, hoping to find the ghost of Rainbow Dash. She looked in every door of the castle and every hallway, but she couldn't find her ghostly Dashie. She returned to were she murdered Starlight, only to feel a sudden chill pass through her.
"Dashie!", Pinkie exclaimed.
There was no response. Just a whisper that chilled Pinkie's spine. The whisper was too faint to understand. But yet, Pinkie knew exactly what she said. Pinkie then went in search for Twilight.
'It'll all be worth it when I'm done', Pinkie thought to herself. 'Right?'
Pinkie wondered the huge castle once more. After what seemed like hours, she finally found Twilight. Pinkie Pie hesitated. Why was she killing two ponies just to get one back? She asked her ghostly Dashie.
"You don't have to kill her. Just know that if you don't, you will have killed Starlight for nothing".
Pinkie sighed. She sneaked up behind Twilight with a knife. The moment Twilight turned around, Pinkie closed her eyes and stabbed Twilight right in the eye. Twilight fainted but she wasn't dead. Pinkie continued to stab hr until she was dead. Pinkie Pie, a murderer. It didn't seem right at all. But now she could get Rainbow Dash back. Pinkie waited. And waited. Until she noticed something: the ghost of Rainbow Dash had left. She searched the castle for Rainbow or her ghost. But instead...
"You fool!", screamed an eerie yet powerful voice. "Don't you know you can't bring ponies back from the dead! Now that Twilight and her student are dead, I can finally get revenge!"
Pinkie said nothing. She just stood there crying, knowing that sh had just killed two off her best friends for nothing.
"Why did you do this?", Pinkie asked.
"Why? Because I am-- WAS-- the queen of changelings! And your friends took that away from me!"
