Secrets in Equestria

Pinkamena had grown bored of her time in this prison of hers. She wanted to get out and she could but not yet. She had to restrain herself until the time was right. Until then, she had to resort to reading the newspaper. There hadn’t been anything interesting in it. The paper from Canterlot was nothing but rumors and gossip. The Ponyville newspaper held no interest to her. There wasn’t anything that could possibly happen in the two days she had been there. What she didn’t know was that there would be a change. “Pinkamena, get up. Your paper is here.” An orderly pushed the newspaper in through the food slot and walked off grumbling something about Pinkamena.

Pinkamena scoffed as the paper slid into her room. She walked over and picked it up when she noticed the headline of the paper from Ponyville. “TRIXIE THE SHOWMARE EMBARRASSED IN FRONT OF CROWD BY SUNSET SHIMMER.” “Trixie shouldn’t have gone to Ponyville.” She chuckled. “Who is Trixie anyway?” She read through the article and chuckled again. She threw the paper down still chuckling. “At least I was given some entertainment today.” Soon her oatmeal breakfast arrived. It was grey mush with a bit of cinnamon, not that she could taste it. “Just like old times, gross oatmeal for breakfast. I know they’re hiding better stuff in the kitchen.” Pinkamena got as close to the door as possible. “IT’S NOT LIKE WE CAN’T SMELL THE HASHBROWNS AND EGGS!”

Pinkamena backed away from the door and played with her meal for a bit before putting a spoonful in her mouth. It was disgusting and made her want to throw up. “It’s like the flavorless oatmeal flavor covers up the cinnamon flavor.” Also like every day, she forced it down and hoped it wouldn’t come back up later. When she finished her so called meal, she pushed the empty bowl back through the hole in the door. It was going to be the same old routine. She counted the minutes, literally, down to the last second when an orderly opened her door and put her in her cuffs. The cuffs connected her four legs together restricting movement. She was dragged down the hallway and into the rehabilitation center.

As usual, the pony in charge tried to get Pinkamena’s attention. What didn’t usually happen was having the strength to ignore and pretend to listen. All she had to do was say yes or nod. She would go through her exercises pretending like they were helping. After her exercises, she would be released to go outside with an orderly. As she walked down the hallways and toward the back door, she ran into Ahuizotl. “Ahuizotl, how is my favorite psychopath? Get caught again?”

“Of course I did, once I get out of here, I will make sure Daring Doo has one last fight with me before she dies.”

“Oh please Ahuizotl, you can’t beat her, not alone anyway. Perhaps I can help you once I get my friends back.” Pinkamena was tugged away as Ahuizotl waved goodbye with his chained up tail hand.

Pinkamena shook her head and continued to follow the orderly not like she had any choice in the matter, not if her plan was to succeed. It was when she got outside that her plan would go into effect. Well, her plan for better food that was more filling anyway. She may be a bit psychotic but she wanted good food too. “So orderly”

“It’s”

“Yeah, don’t care. So here is what I’m thinking. I’m still hungry and that mush you call food is just that. It’s mush with no flavor, good flavor anyway. I mean really, can you even call the flavor it has a flavor? Anyway, point is I’m still hungry.” Before the orderly could respond, Pinkamena knocked him out. She flipped around and bucked him right in the head. Thanks to the cuffs, she almost failed. Had she been a foot further away, she would have caused a much bigger problem for herself. Sure, once somepony found a knocked out guard, she would instantly be accused which is why she had to hide the body. One reason her plan was so difficult was because, she had to knock somepony out. Knocking a pony out was hard to do with cuffs on. The second reason, she was the only one with an orderly around her. Other patients got friends from the hospital to go outside with. She had to have guards. Her counselor refused to be with her alone outside the hospital building. There were no earth ponies or Pegasus ponies that wanted to try. Even Ahuizotl didn’t want to be around Pinkamena for too long and he knew her the best. The last time he was alone with her, they both got in trouble and it was Pinkamena’s fault. She just had to start a fight with another patient. Ahuizotl was terrified of her and tried to run away but the orderlies saw him knocking Pinkamena away. Both of them were blamed and sent away without dinner that night and would be chained up from then on. The fight was stupid too. Pinkamena was being mocked with food by another patient and so she started a fight. The only ones left that felt brave enough were the orderlies.

“With him out of the way, I can sneak into the kitchen.” Pinkamena went from one object to another and anything she could hide behind or in. Getting to the kitchen was anything but difficult. She was sneaky and clever, nopony saw her. Unfortunately, the orderlies would notice that she wasn’t outside or inside. Reason being, somepony always had a tab on her and if she wasn’t outside and the orderly never reported of her return; they would know something was up. Luckily for her, the cooks were all on break. Ok well maybe not luck as she planned out when they would be out. She paid very close attention to everything. She walked up to the fridge and opened it up revealing all kinds of food. She licked her chops as she pulled out carrots and other vegies. There were leftover pancakes and soups. In the back were yogurts and puddings. Those were what she wanted. Pinkamena grabbed some pudding when she heard her doctor.

“Pinkamena Diane Pie, put the food down and back away from the fridge.” Pinkamena sighed and flipped around throwing some soup at the doctor before running out on three legs. One was holding onto the pudding. Running had been difficult with the cuffs on. She nearly tripped more than a few times. She made it back to her room when she was grabbed from behind. Her doctor took the stuff from her and had one of the orderlies take it back to the kitchen. “Pinkie you can’t go around hurting ponies. Now since this was a first offense since this arrival, you will be left with a warning. You are also improving, so I will chalk up this incident to you being extra hungry today. Now get inside, lunch will be brought to you in a few hours and where is my necklace?” Pinkamena didn’t answer. “I will ask you later then.”

Pinkamena walked in and waited for her doctor to leave. She smiled and spit a yogurt out of her mouth. “Oh doc, you haven’t a clue what I have planned for you.” She put the yogurt on her bed and pulled out the necklace from under her bed. She lifted it up and smiled. “Don’t worry doc, you will get your necklace back.”
