Pinkie Pie's Return Partyby SurfusaChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 4Chapter 5Ending: Bad Dream?Secret EndingEnding: Where's Fluttershy?Chapter 1The dark old mansion overlooked the ravine with a menacing grin formed by its main body and two towers on its side. The unscheduled storm didn't help either. Every so now and then, a bright light would illuminate its wicked smile to all who stood in front of it. The mansion stood along the edge of a cliff side overlooking the bottomless pit below. The only way in and out was a dirt path connected to a decaying,wooden bridge. Due to the current weather, it's too dangerous for any pegasus to fly without a protective flying suit. "Twilight, are you... sure this is the place?" A large boom went off as a beam of bright light struck the tree to the left of them. Fluttershy quickly shut her mouth and skid under Rainbow Dash. "Don't worry Fluttershy! I'm sure this is the place, or that's what the map says." Twilight raised the map up to the lantern with her magic. The black lines almost cover the entire map with the exception of a giant red X at the middle. Even though the map Spike gave her was bad, she could presume that there wasn't another mansion anywhere nearby. When she got back, Spike had a lot of organizing to do starting with fixing this map. "Rainbow Dash, did you have to to make it rain tonight!" Rarity was still annoyed that the rain had ruined her newest creation. She was hoping to impress celestia with her new colorful dress, but now it was reduced to a gray worthless fabric that nopony would wear. "Hey it's not my fault that they scheduled a thunderstorm tonight. Besides, it's way cooler to fly through the clouds at night. You can almost scare anyone..." "Waaaaahhh!" Fluttershy jumps up into the air bringing Rainbow Dash with her. Then she buries her head into the ground as Rainbow Dash crashes on top of her. "Hey, watch it!" "Now Rainbow Dash, you know she can't help it." Applejack trotted over to Fluttershy and gave her a reassuring pat on her back. "Don't worry now. It ain't more than a little rain." Pinkie Pie crouched next to Fluttershy's head in the ground. "Aw, turn that frowny upsidedowny! It's a party, I'm sure they'll be cake and everything!" "Remind me why we came though. I was working on my double rainbow loop-de-loop when you told me we had to go." Twilight put the map away into her bag and turned to Rainbow Dash. "I told you, Princess Celestia wanted us to come and enjoy a dinner party with her for all our success. And besides..." She leaned inwards as the ponies crowded around Twilight with the exception of Pinkie Pie who was trying to pull Fluttershy out of her hole. "Pinkie needs a break after all those events. Remember the 'cupcake' book and how she began having dreams about it afterwards? This is her first real party since then. We should make sure she has the most fun here." The four of them nodded their head and turned their focus to Pinkie Pie. She had gone through a lot of pain and agony for the past few weeks. First, she found a 'special' book where it depicted a gruesome interaction between Pinkie and Rainbow Dash. When Rainbow Dash spoke to her about it she seemed to more chipper, but then she began having nightmares. Twilight helped her with her magic, but she discovered that her party loving personality had killed her younger sister. She had only just arrived back to Ponyville and has not had any time to plan a party so Pricess Celestia decided to throw one for her. With one good pull of her tail, Fluttershy came flying out of her hiding spot. "Come on! Last one there is a rotten egg!" Pinkie Pie galloped ahead of the group as Fluttershy follows to seek for shelter from the storm. "You're on," shouted Rainbow Dash and in a second, she was already made up half the distance Pinkie had traveled. "Let's go then, no point in wasting time," Twilight muttered and the last three made their way up to the mansion. Pinkie reached the door first. With a good push from her hoofs, the door creaked open revealing a dark room with no lighting. "Hello? It's me! Pinkie Pie, party extrondinare." No response... It must be a surprise party! Pinkie was overcome with great joy. A surprise party, for her!She walked to the giant staircase which engulfed the far side the room. She could make out a light switch which was on the right post of the staircase. As she walked through the center she stepped into a puddle and felt a drop hit her face. She wiped her nose and continued forward. "Someone should really fix the roofing of this place." She reached the switch and was about to flip it when she heard Twilight's voice echo through the main room. "Hello? Princess Celestia?" Pinkie hit the switch and turned around to face her friends. "Surprise!" The others didn't respond. Rarity and Fluttershy fainted. Applejack vomited all over the floor. Rainbow Dash landed and reverted to a fetal position. All Twilight could do was turn her head away. "What? Is there something on me?" Pinkie Pie didn't understand what was wrong, until another drop fell onto her nose. It was a deep royal red, not clear rain water. She looked down to see she was standing in a thick puddle of the same substance as of that of the drop. She raised her head up to see a white body tied at the legs to the chandler. It was a decapitated white horse lain out as if it was an angel. The wings had been torn off with a sharp knife and the thigh had been removed by similar means. Princess Celestia was hanging dead above them and Pinkie was in her blood. Pinkie's eyes shut tight and her body slammed to the ground as her mind went dark. Chapter 2"Oh, Pinkie Pie is coming around!" Pinkie Pie raises her head up. She could tell she was in a large pony library with lots and lots of step-ladders. All she could remember was a bad dream of being covered with Celestia's blood... Twilight stood besides her wiping her face with a cloth. "Oh Twyla, I had an awful dream. It was almost as bad as the ones I had a few weeks ago." "Pinkie, I hate to say it, but that wasn't a dream." Pinkie Pie giggled. "What do ever do you mean? It had to be a dream, you don't even know what I'm gonna to say." "You saw Princess Celestia tied up to the chandler with her head, wings, and cutie mark missing." Pinkie Pie's laughter quickly died and her eyes widen. There was no way the her nightmares were coming true, it was too gruesome to actually happen. Twilight pointed to the other two ponies passed out among the furniture. Rarity was being fanned by Applejack as Fluttershy was being cuddled by Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie lifted herself from the couch and walked. It was true, all of it. Even after she accepted what had happened to her sister, someone still had brought her dreams to life... Pinkie Pie's hair deflated into a long straight mane as she broke down, piece by pieces. "Pinkie Pie?" Twilight put a hoof on her shoulder and Pinkie Pie's hair shot up in a nanosecond. "Uh hu! What is it?" The sudden burst if energetic energy caught Twilight of guard. Even Rainbow Dash and Applejack had stopped their attempts and were watching Pinkie Pie. Twilight began to back up from Pinkie Pie and bumps into the side table knocking one of the books off. As of by magic, Pinkie Pie returned to her scared self. "Oh, I didn't mean to do that. It just... Wait I've seen this book." Pinkie Pie picked up the book from the floor. The cupcake symbol on the front looked so familiar, but she couldn't put her hoof on it. Then she realized what it was. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She tossed the book as far as she could, hitting the bust of Celestia and knocking it over. Twilight walked over to retrieve the book. "Now why did you do that Pinkie Pie? It's only a..." Twilight stopped in mid-sentence and used her magic to pick up the book and show the group the symbol Pinkie Pie freaked out over. "Now why in earthworm's gravel would Princess Celestai have a book like that?" Twilight began to flip through the pages of the book. "I don't know why, but it's exactly the same as the last one. Rainbow Dash, are you okay?" Rainbow Dash had began squeezing the life out of Fluttershy with a fake smile on her face. "You said it you didn't write that book. You laughed with me when you said you would do nothing like that." Pinkie Pie stood still all confused. "I don't understand, what did I do? I wouldn't hurt anypony. You know that right Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie Pie walked over to Rainbow Dash to give her a big hug, but Rainbow Dash put her hoof up to stop her. Gentle dropping Fluttershy and flying up to the ceiling, she took off from the library into the main entrance and flew up the first flight of stairs. The group didn't see which way she went after that. "We should go find her before something else does." Twilight was already picking up a candlestick off one of the desk and passing a plastic black rectangle. "Here, this is called a walkie-talkie. I found these in a science book and I decided to order some. If you press the button on top, you can speak to all of us." Pinkie Pie didn't like where this was heading. We should all stay in a group, not split off one by one... "Okay, but I don't think we should leave Rarity and Fluttershy alone." Applejack picked up walkie-talkie and out it in her small pouch around her neck. "That's right! One of us should stay behind just in case if one of them wakes up." "I think it's best if you stay here and do that Pinkie Pie. You only just recovered and you may may know how to tell Fluttershy." "But... Okay, I'll stay." "Excellent, now Applejack you go left up the stairs and I'll go right. Make sure that the moment you get in trouble, use the walkie-talkie." "Can do. Let's get going before anything happens to Applejack." The two gallop off and up the stairs. Pinkie Pie watched them go up and out of sight before turning around to attend to the two knocked out on the couch. She sighed. "Well I guess it's just us three." At the end of the sentence, Pinkie Pie blacked out once more and fell to the ground. Rainbow Dash huddled in the corner away from the door. Was Pinkie Pie really her friend, or just waiting to slaughter her for her skin and wings? Why was she acting so strange in there? Why did she say surprise when she turned on the lights? Rainbow Dash could hear the hoof steps of somepony coming down the hallway. "Rainbow Dash?" It was Pinkie Pie's cool, calm voice. "Rainbow Dash you have to believe me, I don't want to hurt you. I want to be friends! You have to trust me, you are the element of loyalty. As the element of laughter, we can have a good laugh when all this is done!" Pinkie Pie was right. Pinkie Pie always followed Rainbow Dash even if she didn't know what they were saying. She could trust her... "I'm in here Pinkie Pie." The door opened slowly showing a dark hallway. No light slipped through because there wasn't a light source to come from. A dark figure stood in the door way. "Pinkie Pie?" "Correctamundo!" "Do you not have a light?" "Correctamundo again!" "But... It doesn't matter. I'm sorry I ran away, I just thought..." She walked towards Pinkie Pie to give a hug, but she stopped. It didn't look like the Pinkie Pie she saw downstairs, this one had big fluffy hair and it's forehead... "It's okay Rainbow Dash! I forgive you." Rainbow Dash felt a white cloth held up to her nose. She breathed in the fumes and felt light headed. "I just wont be as nice when I have fun with you." Rainbow Dash last sight was a pony standing over her and beginning to drag her. Pinkie Pie woke up. "That wasn't very fun..." Pinkie Pie frantically looked over to check on the two sleeping mares. They were still there. "Good, I thought for a second somepony had taken then." Fluttershy and Rarity began to wake up. Fluttershy lifted her head and looked at the door way where Pinkie Pie stood. "What happened? Did I fall asleep?" Fluttershy then saw the hung up white pony on the chandler. Pinkie Pie watched as she collapsed in the same place she was again. "Down she goes again, well that didn't last long." Rarity got up and looked all around. "So it wasn't a dream?" Pinkie Pie shook her head and Rarity looked down. The silence was unsettling and was interrupted by Pinkie Pie's stomach growling. "How could you be hungry at a time like this?" Pinkie Pie raised her hoofs with no explanation. "I can't control it." Rarity sighed and followed Pinkie Pie out of the room. The two walked out of the library and headed to the dinning room on the other side of the room. Instantaneously, two more ponies returned walking down the stairs. "Any luck finding Rainbow Dash?" The two shake their head. "Maybe she headed to the kitchen for a snack!" Pinkie Pie rushed ahead but froze when she passed the doorway to the dinning room. The other three walked besides her, but then realized what happen. The room was littered with party balloons and confetti. It was a festive room until one saw the head at the end of the table. Rainbow Dash's head sat on top of a dish with a disgruntled look towards the door. Propped against her head laid a book with a cupcake on it and to it's left laid a plate of cupcakes. "Why do they call it a hack saw? It doesn't hack like knifes", written on the table in blood. The killer had struck again. Chapter 3"Ha... Ha, ha.... Ha, ha, ha...hahahahaha." "Pinkie Pie?" Pinkie Pie ignored Twilight and continued to laugh. Her eyes began to drift to the far side of her eyes and mouth formed a crooked smirk. The laughter penetrated the whole household, echoing in ever room. It didn't stop until Applejack gave her a good knock on the head with her hind hoofs. "Thanks, I needed that." The three of them gave serious looks at her. None of them understood why she laughed. Rarity was the first to ask. "How could you laugh at moment like this?" Pinkie Pie fell back to Earth after realizing what she was laughing at. Her hair fell and her expression died too. "Rainbow Dash said I should always laugh at moments like this. I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself." "We should leave." Everypony turned to Twilight. "Now why in Apple Shire would we go and do that? We should find the rotting core and finish him ourselves!" "Twilight's right, we should go to the authorities and ask for their help." Pinkie Pie looked down. It was her fault this whole party started. Now she wished she could have saved Rainbow Dash by leaving in the first place. "Come on, let's grab Fluttershy and get out of here." The four remaining ponies trotted over to the library to grab their yellow friend. Yet when they got there, Fluttershy was missing. "That's funny, she was here a minute ago..." Everypony turned once again to Pinkie Pie. "Oh, come on! She was here a minute ago! You saw her right Rarity?" "To be honest, when I woke up I only saw you in the door way and that ghastly thing hanging up there." She pointed her hoof up to the remains of Princess Celestia. Pinkie Pie couldn't explain it, she swore she saw Fluttershy just a minute ago. "I know I..." Twilight interrupted her. "It doesn't matter we should get across the bridge. If Fluttershy really did just wake up, she probably just left. Otherwise..." She didn't finish her thought because every other pony knew what she was gonna say. "Come on, we have to leave." They make their way to the bridge with no sign of Fluttershy. The group could only hope that where ever she was, she was safe. Reaching the wooden bridge, the group slows down and get what they hope to be their last glimpse of the mansion. "I really do feel bad leaving Fluttershy behind." Twilight was falling to tears. Rarity tried to cheer her up. "Don't worry. I'm sure by the time the police come that the hole mess will be fixed!" "What about Celestia and Rainbow Dash? Who knows if it got Fluttershy too!" "Well..." Rarity was at a lost of words. They had lost two, possibly three, of their closest friends. The quiet patter of the rain didn't help the mood either. Then a large explosion went off. The four swiveled around just in time to see the bridge parts falling down from the burst of the explosion. The ponies took cover as wooden planks and logs scattered around them. What remained was the ends of the bridge which eventually fell into the abyss below. Nopony could have foresaw the bridge exploding. "Applepaste, how are we suppose to get out with the bridge gone?" "I know, Twilight or Rarity could fix it with their magic!" Pinkie Pie turned to the two of them. "Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it... Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!" "I can't, not even the most powerful pony could reach the wood that fell down there even if it was good wood. Most of it probably burned in the blast." "Is it safe to be out here? It's dark and if we're not careful, the killer could try to pick us off one by one." Rarity started to head back to the mansion and the rest followed. Twilight halted at the front door. As Pinkie Pie moved ahead of them to the staircase, Twilight pulled aside Rarity and Applejack. "Something's not right with Pinkie Pie. Maybe we should keep an eye on her just in case..." "Come on ponies, We have to find Fluttershy!" "We should go in groups of two." Rarity couldn't believe what she was saying, but she stuck to it. She didn't want Pinkie Pie to kill her if she wandered from the group... "Oh... Okay." Applejack saw Rarity's plan and decided to join her. "Great, then me and Rarity can go in a group. We'll go to the East side of the mansion! You and Twilight can go to the West side of the mansion." Twilight hesitated, it wasn't the best idea for her. "Umm, okay. We both have a walkie talkie, so we'll call if anything goes wrong." The two couples split up and walked their separate ways. Twilight kept her distance from Pinkie Pie. Something was not quite right with her. First, the hysterical laughing and now her spurts of craziness. The two entered a living room on the far end of the corridor with its door open. Inside lied two comfortable chairs surrounding a fireplace with a picture over it. "Hey Twilight, look at this!" Pinkie Pie rushed up to a picture of a foul with his mustache hanging off him. "It's just a poorly drawn picture, Pinkie Pie." "But look at its mustache! It's actually there! Let me just adjust it." Pinkie Pie reached over the mantle to put the mustache back on correctly. "Look, all bet..." In doing so, a trap door opened below Pinkie Pie, sending her down into a black room below. She landed with a loud thud. "Owww, that really hurt." Twilight peeked over the edge to see if she was okay. "Pinkie Pie, are you alive down there?" "Yes, but I scraped my right hoof. Can you see a way back up?" "No, but I can go get some help." "Wait, I see a door and some candle light. I think I can get back up there." "Are you sure?" Pinkie Pie stumbled up and opened the door. She was limping, but she could still walk. "Yeah, go find the others and make sure your okay." "Will do." Pinkie Pie could hear Twilight run off to the others. She maybe safe, but what about herself? She could be stuck down hear forever! She started to cry about all that's happen, Celestia's death... Rainbow Dash... Her sister... All these parties... They were killing all her friends... She was the one to blame... Then there was a voice. "You have to keep going, you're doomed if you stay down here." She couldn't tell where it was coming from and it didn't sound familiar. "Hello? Who's there?" Silence. Pinkie Pie looked up and down the stone corridor, but no one was there. Was it imaginary or was there really someone watching. Either way, the voice was right. She had to continue for all her friends. She ran to the door at the end, but began to tire quickly. She raised her hoof to the door, but collapsed once more into total darkness. "Well to be honest, I think Pinkie Pie may be involved with all this." Applejack pushed over some desks to search for any clues where Fluttershy may have gone. "Nothing... Where could she have gone." "I have no idea. There are some great books on this shelf though." Rarity was picking away at some books on the personal shelf above the guest bed. The main topic of them all were fashionable outfits of the year. "Why can't Twilight read some of these books?" "You're such a big city girl." "And?" Applejack mumbled to herself as she continued to search. Rarity had almost taken every book off the shelf save one. She kept trying to pull it with her magic, but it didn't work. "Applejack, would you be a doll and grab that book for me?" "Now why do you need that?" "I thought I saw Fluttershy's hair in it." Applejack unwillingly stopped her searching and tried to pull on the book. "Funny, it won't come down." She gave it a good yank towards her and the wall came to life. It spun around separating Rarity and Applebloom. "What in tarn nation? Rarity, can you hear me?" "Yes, are you alright." "Just peachy... Of course I'm not alright. Get me out of here!" "Okay, I'll just go find Twilight and Pinkie Pie..." "No wait, I'll just find my own way out. There's a door here, I'll meet up with you soon." Rarity didn't care. She was happily reading her fashion books to herself, glancing up every so now and again to keep an eye on the door. Applejack had wandered in a giant circle and there wasn't a door in sight. "This is worse than Rarity's obsession with clothing." Finally Applejack came across a door with an actual room behind it. She tried the door knob. "Locked... Typical." She turned around, but as soon as she did, she felt a heavy hit to the back of head... Chapter 4Applejack awoke from her sleep. The first thing she could feel was the hard table she was on top of, followed by the chains around her hoofs. She knew her mane had been shaved off and she was bruised, but otherwise she was in decent health. She opened her eyes to be greeted by a giant axe illuminated by spot lights above her stomach. She turned her head, but the rest of the room was engulfed by darkness. "Where am I?" She rattled in her chains to no avail . "Get me the hey out of here!" "Silly, don't you want to have fun with me?" Applejack knew that voice, but it sounded too distorted to be Pinkie Pie... "I wanted you to be awake when we started playing." She heard the scraping of a knife in the background. Applejack began to hyperventilate as each scrape became longer and longer... "Why are you doing this, I thought we were friends." "And we are! Isn't nice to know that you'll die at the hoof of the ones you were closest too? I mean imagine dying alone or due to some random pony. This way, you know it's true friendship that stuck with you!" The voice drew closer, but Applejack couldn't pinpoint the location of the words. "I don't want to die." The scraping of the knife stopped. "Death? It's not actually as bad as you think." A loud laughter erupted behind Applejack. "The pain can be unbearable at first, but it gets better when your senses begin to go." The voice moved towards Applejack's thigh. "It gets really quiet then, as if you were the last pony alive. Some may call it peaceful, but me? It was a living nightmare. There was no pony to play with or dress up in... I was almost tempted to try and kill myself for fun, but that doesn't work well when you're dead." A high pitch laugh over took the room. Obviously nopony outside could hear them. "When I came back, it had felt like years had past by. I didn't understand this new feeling of life, I was stuck back inside a pony. At first, there was great agony. I couldn't control the host I was inside, she kept resisting me. Eventually one night I broke through and tonight was that night. " She sliced the blade through her thigh removing the precious symbol which once represented Applejack's innocence. She screamed in agony as the blood dribbled down the table. "Aren't we having fun? I got another surprise for you as well!" The voice was now retreating from the table to a higher platform above. "See that axe above you? It's connected to a pendulum." "A what?" Applejack was very confused, she didn't understand anything that was happening. "A pendulum? Edgar Allen Pony described it as a fierce metal frame which rocked back and forward as it lowered itself hourly. I decided to speed it up for the sake of our friendship. It should only take 15 minutes or less." Applejack felt a rectangular object land on the top of her stomach. The walkie talkie was emitting static, waiting for a response from anyone. "I thought you may like the sound, so I left it on. Look at the time, I should get going! Don't worry though, I'll start the machine for you." A loud crank went off in the background and the axe began to swing back and forward above Applejack's stomach. "See you later, alligator. Oh wait... Wel,l bye anyways." Applejack couldn't handle it anymore. She began to cry loudly as she thought of her family. What would Applebloom do without her? Will Big Mac look after the farm? Will Granny ever forgive her? Worse was the thought of what will happen to her friends. Pinkie Pie once more came out of her sleep. Again she found herself in the Library. She felt a great throb of pain in her forehead. "How long was I out?" She looked around to see if any of her friends were around, but there was nopony in sight. Lifting herself off the couch, Pinkie Pie gave herself a moment to think. "Who could it be? I know it involves the 'other' Pinkie Pie, but I finished her in my dream. There's no way she could still be alive, unless... Oh no! I have to warn the others." Pinkie Pie ran out of the room and up the stairs. She had to find them before the 'other' Pinkie Pie did! "Rarity? Are you there? Applejack?" Still no answer. The walkie talkie wasn't working either. She almost gave up when she head a squeal of excitement from the room on the far end. "These outfits are just to die for!" Twilight opened the door to find Rarity sitting in a chair enjoying a Pony Fashion magazine. There was no Applejack around. "Where's Applejack?" "She's not back yet? She got trapped behind that wall. I thought she tried contacting you with the walkie talkie." "No, it's not working." "Oh, really? Let me have a look." Rarity took the walkie talkie off her and began to examine it. "Where's Pinkie Pie?" "She fell in a trap door." "Hmm, it does seem that this place has quite a few of those... Look you didn't even turn the walkie talkie on." Twilight gave an embarrassed grin. It was her first time using them. Rarity pressed the on button. The first noise to come out of it was crying followed by a swinging noise every so often. Twilight took the walkie talkie and went into the hallway with Rarity following behind her. "Applejack?" The crying stopped, but the swinging continued. "Twilight? I don't have much time, but..." She cried again, but forced herself to stop. "It's Pinkie Pie, she's the murder!" "Are you sure, I mean..." "I'm sure, you tell that bi..." The radio cut out and replaced itself with static. The two ponies stared at each other in horror with mouths open after Applejack's last words. It wasn't until they heard the galloping of hoofs did they close their jaws. "Twilight! Rarity! I know who did it!" Rarity took a defensive stance and pulled a chair out of the room with her magic. "Guys? What's wrong." "We know Pinkie Pie, Applejack told us it was you." Pinkie Pie shook her head. "No, it's not me me. It's other me me. I think she can can control me when I'm asleep! Where's Applejack?" "We don't what happen to her. Look Pinkie Pie, we don't want any trouble." "Hu? Don't be silly I would never..." Rarity used her magic to throw the chair at Pinkie Pie. She dodged it to the right, but Rarity already had the next chair ready to throw. "Don't come near us!" "But I would never hurt you..." "You killed all our friends! Do you think that's alright!" Rarity threw the second chair and Pinkie Pie wasn't so lucky this time. The chair hit her square on the forehead leaving a few cuts. She turned and ran down the stairs. Rarity tried to catch her, but Twilight stopped her. "What are you doing? We have to go catch her." "That was a poor way to treat myself, even if she killed me once..." "What do you..." Before she could finish her thought, she received a nasty blow from Twilight's hoof. Pinkie Pie hid under the table in the dinning room. She knew she was being hunted by her friends because of the 'other' Pinkie Pie, but this? She couldn't control herself and it didn't mean she should die for it. Her stomach growled again and she clenched it. She couldn't leave for the kitchen just yet, anyone could be out there. Her stomach roared and she couldn't control her fatigue. Pinkie Pie collapsed from all the running with no food. Chapter 5The lightening repeated over and over outside. The rain drops danced in a violent motion to the rhythm of the pain down below. Forced to head the direction given to them, their ending had already been decided by the wind. Pinkie Pie groaned in agony. "I'm never gonna forget to eat ever again." Checking that the coast was clear, she left the safety of the table and exited the dinning room into the kitchen. She had to cover her eyes as she drew close to Rainbow Dash. The smell was unbearable, yet her stomach continued to guide her forward. She pushed the door to find the kitchen in a similar state as that of her dreams. The walls were decorated with pony blood and the organs of her friends hanged from the ceiling. She couldn't keep it in any more. She ran to the sink and pulled herself over it to vomit, but she stopped. The sink was filled with blood and two blue eyes looked out at her. Pinkie Pie just puked where she stood. Her dream may have had more blood, but these were the death of her friends she was experiencing. She wiped her mouth and heard the swooping of a knife behind her. By instant, she ducked and watched as a bright silver edge fly by her head. She turned expecting someone behind her, but all she saw was the shadows of far side of the kitchen. She swore someone just... The knife came at her again from her right. She dodged it, but it quickly changed direction catching her right leg. She fell backwards and began backing away from the knife. That when she noticed the magic on the handle. "Twilight?" "Hiya Pinkie Pie! Or should I say other Pinkie Pie. I think that's what I called you last time." The voice came from the shadows, she couldnt tell where. What she could tell was that the voice was from her dreams. The one who butchered so many ponies. The one who tried to kill her while she was sleeping. The one who she killed right in front of her. "It's been a long time. Well for me at least! You don't know how board I've been!" "You... You... You..." "Died? Oh yes, and I don't blame you. I mean if I really wanted to, I could have killed you first! But I used the number system again, then every pony has a chance to have fun with me!" "How are you alive? Where are you?" "Even I don't know that fully, but I have an idea. Your friends who helped you, I think she didn't know that when she could go in, things can come out." Twilight walked out right in front of her with the knife floating besides her. Or whatever 'remained' of Twilight. Her mane was puffed up like Pinkie Pie's, but it was mixed with blood and other colored hairs. She had also reconstructed half of the original outfit she wore when they met. "Oh, do like my work? Rarity thought it was to die for. I got some blood on it though since i didn't have my proper tools." Pinkie Pie stared in horror to see all her friends combined into one piece. A necklace of Rarity and Celestia's horns hung around her neck; her tail was a combination of all her colorful victims'; a cyan and white wing laid attached to her attire; and finally Pinkie's eyes fell upon the cutie marks. They were all there with the exception of one. "What have you done to Fluttershy?" "Her? I actually don't know. I think she must have ran away before we could have any fun. Her lost, right?" Pinkie Pie finally backed into the wall behind her. There was no escape this time. "How long have you been in her?" Pinkie Pie was grasping at straws as her mind struggled with what to do. "Oo, are we playing games to distract me! How fun! Well I was only able to actually control her for the past three days, but I thought of my plan for eternity... Or however long I was dead for. I invited her to the castle before brining any of you here. She came willingly and didn't expect any bad from me. During dinner I drugged her meal with sleeping powder." The 'other' Pinkie Pie boasted with pride of her work. "It wasn't easy to drag her down to the cellar where my medical equipment was located. I also to play with her while she was asleep because of her magic powers. It wasn't much fun until I though of how I could use her body for; I thought you would have liked the decorations I set up for you!" The knife floated above the real Pinkie's head. It was waiting for the finale command. "When we arrived, I was sad that no one liked my master piece. Rainbow Dash seemed scared of it even. While I traveled up stairs, I decided to cheer her up by acting out a good book. She knew every line and expression by heart, I was very impressed." Pinkie Pie didn't want to remember the horrors of that book ever again... "I wanted to finish all the wings off, but as you guessed, Fluttershy must have scampered off. I used the group to explore outside, but she wasn't there. That's when I decided to set the fuse of the TNT below the bridge." She shook her head to get some of the blood off her and continued her story. "When we got back, Applejack and you found the secret passage ways of this lovely home. So I flipped a coin and decided it was Applejack's turn. It was unfair to not give her a chance so I gave her a time based challenge. I think I gave her the wrong impression because she thought I was you. It didn't help that I left her a walkie-talkie to contact us either. When Rarity heard Applejack blaming you, she attacked you and I couldn't let that happen. I decided to lock her up while I finished with Applejack." She pointed at the sink, where Pinkie Pie saw the eyes. "When I finally came to Rarity in my beautiful dress, she called me ugly. I decided to show her true ugliness and gouged her eyes out. Funny, she didn't appreciate it that much." The knife began to press upon Pinkie Pie's cheek. "You know, friendship is magic! Look how useful it is, I won't cut myself this time." This looked like the end for Pinkie Pie. She closed her eyes and wished she could apologize to everyone for what she did. Ending: Bad Dream?"You did this? I'll kill you!" Pinkie Pie opened her eyes just in time to see a yellow blob shoot from the doorway at the culprit. "What? How did..." It hit dead on pushing the other Pinkie Pie into the wall. It broke open, revealing a stairwell leading downwards. The knife dropped without its magic source and clanged as it hit the floor. Pinkie Pie didn't hesitate. She picked the knife in her mouth and ran after the two. She couldn't allow her lady closest friend to die as well. Trotting carefully down the stairs to avoid tripping, Pinkie Pie followed at 'high pursuit'. She could hear the sounds of punching and biting, but it was too dark to see where they were coming from. She finally reached the last step. With the lack of light, all she could tell was that the room was large and tall. "Fluttershy?" There was no response. Pinkie Pie slowly stepped forward as she heard the fighting. Suddenly there was a large crackle and the fighting stopped. Pinkie Pie stopped in her tracks. "Fluttershy?" "Now that was fun!" Pinkie Pie whimpered at the fact of her last friends death. "Aww, don't cry, we're about to have a lot of fun!" A bolt of purple light illuminated the room as it shot across the room and grazed Pinkie Pie. She gave out a yelp as she felt the burn across her back. She ducked to the floor as the second one came at her head. She couldn't do this for much longer. "Watch where the light is conning from." It was the voice again, but she couldn't think of it. She waited for the third purple bolt. Out from the corner of the room, a light of purple began to build up at pony head level. Pinkie Pie rolled to her left and began to gallop at the corner. The bolt passed by her right at where she was and blew a chunk out of the ground. She wouldn't be able to recover in time to get another shot. Pinkie Pie swung the knife at the source landing a blow just below the head. "That... Was... Not...nice..." The voice moaned as it gurgled on each word. The pony fell and Pinkie Pie leaned over to finish the job. "Are... You... Really... Going... To... Kill... Me?" Pinkie Pie paused. Was she really gonna kill her friend who could possibly still be saved. Then she noticed the horn pointed in her direction began to glow once more. Without hesitation she plunged the knife into her old friend, killing Twilight and the spirit inside her together. Pinkie Pie fell on her rear. "It's over, it's finally dead..." The candles above her flickered on showing all the secrets of the room. Pinkie looked over her shoulder to see Fluttershy's head turned a 180 degrees. "I'm sorry, I didn't want this to happen to you." She look back at Twilight's corpse. "To any of you. I should have told you." A tear fell from her eye, followed by another and another. Soon enough the dam exploded and all her love for all her pony friends showed. "It's all my fault, all of it!" Through the tears, she noticed the knife in Twilight's body was still in condition to be used again. She pulled it out at the blood dripped from the knife. She pointed it towards herself and prepared for the worst until she heard the movement of hoofs. She looked around the room again. On the other side of the staircase was the entrance to a hallway bending right. She saw a black tail escape the corner of her eye. "Another pony?" She let go of the knife and picked herself up. She whipped away the tears and followed the hallway. The travel was long and at the end she didn't get to find the pony she saw. Instead it lead into a giant room with strange machines against the walls. She walked up to one and read the label on the machine out loud. "Hasbo?" She had never heard of the word before. Turning, she counted the number of machines. "One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six." In the middle of the entire room laid a red large button. Pinkie cautiously walked up to it. She noticed a note had been written on it with a piece of tape. -Press to reset- Pinkie Pie didn't understand what it meant but liked the writing. The writing layout was curly and had little symbols in it. She swore she had seen it before and almost entirely forgot about the entire event for a minute. Without hesitation, Pinkie pressed the button. A white beam of light took the room and Pinkie felt at ease as she became blinded and fell asleep. "Pinkie Pie? Are you gonna wake up?" Pinkie Pie woke up with all her friends looking down on her inside Twilight's house. "She looks like she just went nine rounds with a bucking kangaroo!" Applejack passed her a cup of water. Pinkie Pie took the cup and drank it all down in one gulp. She didn't know why, but felt like she hadn't had a drink in a life time. She shook the shock off as Rarity gave her a slight pat on the back. "Sorry darling, we didn't mean to give you a scare. We just wanted to surprise for your welcoming home party." "My welcoming home party?" Pinkie Pie clutched her head, she had a massive head ache. Rainbow Dash was the first to answer her. "Don't you remember? You even came to my house saying you would explain later. How did you even get up to my cloud house any ways?" "Oh, yeah..." A quiet submissive voice spoke up. "Are you okay?" "Yeah... I had a weird dream, but I can't remember it..." Princess Celestia emerged behind the group. "Well then, why don't we have a party to make you feel better?" "Oooo, that would be grand!" A knocking came from the door. Twilight opened it up as a brown male pony with a black suit walked in with a pizza on his back. "Pizza delivery for Twilight Sparkles?" "That's me!" The pony passed the pizza over and Twilight set it onto the table and began slicing it up. The others followed to grab a bit, but Pinkie Pie instead walked up to the pony. "You look familiar, do I know you?" "I don't believe so miss." Pinkie Pie's eyes lite up. "Are you new to Ponyville! If you are, I should throw you a party!" The pony looked down and shuffled his right front hoof. "I'm not new, but thanks for the idea. Enjoy the pizza!" He turned and left swaying his black tail behind him. Pinkie Pie thought to herself about his oddness. Then she turned to her friends and put on a great big smile. "You guys are the best! After all this we should have... Cupcakes!" They all nodded and agreed. The End... Secret EndingJames watched as Pinkie Pie dodged the third bolt of magic. "Yes! At it girl." The brown pony in the black suit watched as Pinkie Pie raised the knife. He couldn't watch this part, he knew Pinkie Pie was no killer. He waited to hear the plunge of the knife before looking back. "I'm so sorry I couldn't help with the last part Pinkie." Turning on the lights with his metal bracelet, he looked back to see a broken discouraged pink pony on the floor. She picked up the knife and pointed it at herself... "Uh no. No no no no no..." He trotted loudly back and forth as she let go of the knife. "Was I too loud?" He saw her point her head towards him and he turned around. "Best to walk away, James. Just walk away." He began to head towards the reconstruction chamber under the house. Pinkie Pie slowly followed and the brown pony began to panic. "She's not suppose to see me. Come on James, I won't be allowed to go on a case alone again if she sees me." He dived into the main recreation chamber with the six huge H.A.S.B.O. machines. Without thinking, he hid behind the first one and waited for Pinkie Pie to pass. Each second burned into James eventually turning his soul into a pile of ash. It was the sound of hoof steps that rose the reincarnation of his soul. As Pinkie Pie walked in and investigated the machine, James leaned forward on his two front legs. To see her face once again was a blessing. "Hasbo?" Her voice echoed in his ears as she began to count the number of machines. The hidden pony remembered the better days when the two spent time having adventures of a lifetime. She pivoted and stared at the handwritten message James had placed on top of the button. Just like in his memories, James can see the fear replaced with happiness. Then she pressed the button. As normal, the F.L.A.S.H. filled the room with light and blinded Janes for a second. He could have worn the sun glasses provided to him from the agency, but he didn't see a need for them. The device didn't work on ponies like him... He walked over to Pinkie and checked her pulse. Like most subjects, it was weaker but still there. "Should be about six hours before she wakes up." An old, green stallion entered the room with the same black suit as James. The stallion had a slow steady walk and brought a chill along with him. "Five hours, fifty two minutes, and thirty seven seconds exactly... It's always that long." "You know our Moderator won't be happy? I was watching the eye scanner and saw you got involved in the story. You can't do that." His voice was sympathetic and calm. When James first meet him, it surprised him a lot. The stories behind the stallion were that of a cold hearted killer who got the job done. "You did it on the missions we did together though." "But this was your first case by yourself. The privileges comes with the rank." The stallion walked over to the main computer and began to punch a code into the H.A.S.B.O machines. One by one, the hatch below the machine opened and a pony fell out. Each one of the victims had be recreated in there original forms. The stallion turned again and but on an aweful fake southern accent. "This machine's a beaut, ain't she?" "I don't know, you come back by the user's image of you." "It's progress either way. Back in my day, a pony's death would be the end of it. I would have to erase every single pony's mind that it ever existed. Met a few unique ponies in the process though." "You say it like you miss those days." The stallion grumbled, he missed most of his older days. "I'm still not to old to pull a fast one on you." "Are the editors done cleaning up stairs?" "Almost, but we're tempted to burn this building down. Ponies always come here to murder their friends." "I always found it funny when I asked about this house. No one seemed to remember of coming up here." "Well, when you can't be 'flashed', you find yourself knowing more than most ponies." A female unicorn in a white clean suit walked in with a gas mask above her head. "Editor Dealer, all finished I presume?" "Eddy, you know you can call me by my real name." The old stallion gave her a strict look and sighed. "Kelly... Are you done ?" "Why yes, but we were told we can't destroy the house. Otherwise we won't know what would be the next place used for murder mysteries. It would be like Cave Creek all over..." James interrupted her, he wanted to get them home quickly. "That's good and all, but did we finish off the spirit once and for all?" Kelly gave him a cold look. She didn't like to be intruded, especially by a pony like himself. "Ah, Author Surfusa, I didn't think they would give such a case to you." "You know you could call me James?" "I know... No we didn't catch it, it escaped." Eddy smile disappeared and James' head dropped. Eddy then noticed James and gave him a pay on the back. "It's okay, we'll get it next time." "I don't care... Let's just get these ponies to there party. James left the room. That spirit is still out there, and some other pony will eventually be having bad dreams or killing ponies again... All thanks to James' failure. Eddy and James watched outside Twilight's window as everyone began to wake up. The Editors had set up the party for them including a bucket of apples and a record player, but they didn't remember to leave the pizza on the table. "So you okay with this?" James chuckled at the comment. "Of course, what could go wrong?" "If it's too much, I could..." Eddy became serious, he knew the past James had with Pinkie. It's the reason he recruited him. "Look, I'm fine. I'm going in when she wakes up." James was getting frustrated. Nopony understood that he left his past behind him. It wasn't going to get in his way. Pinkie woke up on the couch. James began to make his way to the front of the house. He waked up the door with the pizza on his back. He gave it a loud knock and Twilight answered it... The monitor continued to blink green words as James finished his report. :Summary - capture of murdering spirit failure. : :File End... : :Author: Surfusa (Author's note: I'll be starting a new story that has a similar concept to Men In Black. If you wish to be a character just send me a message.) Ending: Where's Fluttershy?Fluttershy thought out load as she flew through the clouds. "I hope the others are alright. If I hurry, I can get the police before its too late." "I thought you would last much long other Pinkie Pie! I mean last time you put a fight, this is just pitiful. I guess I'll just have to find some other pony to have fun with." The left the lifeless pink pony alone on the floor. The slits ran deep into the body, legs, and face. It had become a red zebra with pink stripes. The possessed Twilight exited the mansion and watched as sunlight broke through the clouds. "Look at the brand new day. So many ponies to met and be friends with! I wonder how I'll be fair to all of them? I know, I'll use a hat and pick names! Everyone will have a chance then." She began to walk down the steps. "Oops, I almost forgot." Lighting the lantern at the foot of the entrance, the new Pinkie Pie threw the weak glass platted light source at the wooden mansion. She then made her way to the bridge and used her magic to create a small pathway with the rocks around her. " World, here I come!" She jumped from rock to rock as the mansion became engulfed with flames. Nopony would ever find the remains of the party that took place... The End
Chapter 1The dark old mansion overlooked the ravine with a menacing grin formed by its main body and two towers on its side. The unscheduled storm didn't help either. Every so now and then, a bright light would illuminate its wicked smile to all who stood in front of it. The mansion stood along the edge of a cliff side overlooking the bottomless pit below. The only way in and out was a dirt path connected to a decaying,wooden bridge. Due to the current weather, it's too dangerous for any pegasus to fly without a protective flying suit. "Twilight, are you... sure this is the place?" A large boom went off as a beam of bright light struck the tree to the left of them. Fluttershy quickly shut her mouth and skid under Rainbow Dash. "Don't worry Fluttershy! I'm sure this is the place, or that's what the map says." Twilight raised the map up to the lantern with her magic. The black lines almost cover the entire map with the exception of a giant red X at the middle. Even though the map Spike gave her was bad, she could presume that there wasn't another mansion anywhere nearby. When she got back, Spike had a lot of organizing to do starting with fixing this map. "Rainbow Dash, did you have to to make it rain tonight!" Rarity was still annoyed that the rain had ruined her newest creation. She was hoping to impress celestia with her new colorful dress, but now it was reduced to a gray worthless fabric that nopony would wear. "Hey it's not my fault that they scheduled a thunderstorm tonight. Besides, it's way cooler to fly through the clouds at night. You can almost scare anyone..." "Waaaaahhh!" Fluttershy jumps up into the air bringing Rainbow Dash with her. Then she buries her head into the ground as Rainbow Dash crashes on top of her. "Hey, watch it!" "Now Rainbow Dash, you know she can't help it." Applejack trotted over to Fluttershy and gave her a reassuring pat on her back. "Don't worry now. It ain't more than a little rain." Pinkie Pie crouched next to Fluttershy's head in the ground. "Aw, turn that frowny upsidedowny! It's a party, I'm sure they'll be cake and everything!" "Remind me why we came though. I was working on my double rainbow loop-de-loop when you told me we had to go." Twilight put the map away into her bag and turned to Rainbow Dash. "I told you, Princess Celestia wanted us to come and enjoy a dinner party with her for all our success. And besides..." She leaned inwards as the ponies crowded around Twilight with the exception of Pinkie Pie who was trying to pull Fluttershy out of her hole. "Pinkie needs a break after all those events. Remember the 'cupcake' book and how she began having dreams about it afterwards? This is her first real party since then. We should make sure she has the most fun here." The four of them nodded their head and turned their focus to Pinkie Pie. She had gone through a lot of pain and agony for the past few weeks. First, she found a 'special' book where it depicted a gruesome interaction between Pinkie and Rainbow Dash. When Rainbow Dash spoke to her about it she seemed to more chipper, but then she began having nightmares. Twilight helped her with her magic, but she discovered that her party loving personality had killed her younger sister. She had only just arrived back to Ponyville and has not had any time to plan a party so Pricess Celestia decided to throw one for her. With one good pull of her tail, Fluttershy came flying out of her hiding spot. "Come on! Last one there is a rotten egg!" Pinkie Pie galloped ahead of the group as Fluttershy follows to seek for shelter from the storm. "You're on," shouted Rainbow Dash and in a second, she was already made up half the distance Pinkie had traveled. "Let's go then, no point in wasting time," Twilight muttered and the last three made their way up to the mansion. Pinkie reached the door first. With a good push from her hoofs, the door creaked open revealing a dark room with no lighting. "Hello? It's me! Pinkie Pie, party extrondinare." No response... It must be a surprise party! Pinkie was overcome with great joy. A surprise party, for her!She walked to the giant staircase which engulfed the far side the room. She could make out a light switch which was on the right post of the staircase. As she walked through the center she stepped into a puddle and felt a drop hit her face. She wiped her nose and continued forward. "Someone should really fix the roofing of this place." She reached the switch and was about to flip it when she heard Twilight's voice echo through the main room. "Hello? Princess Celestia?" Pinkie hit the switch and turned around to face her friends. "Surprise!" The others didn't respond. Rarity and Fluttershy fainted. Applejack vomited all over the floor. Rainbow Dash landed and reverted to a fetal position. All Twilight could do was turn her head away. "What? Is there something on me?" Pinkie Pie didn't understand what was wrong, until another drop fell onto her nose. It was a deep royal red, not clear rain water. She looked down to see she was standing in a thick puddle of the same substance as of that of the drop. She raised her head up to see a white body tied at the legs to the chandler. It was a decapitated white horse lain out as if it was an angel. The wings had been torn off with a sharp knife and the thigh had been removed by similar means. Princess Celestia was hanging dead above them and Pinkie was in her blood. Pinkie's eyes shut tight and her body slammed to the ground as her mind went dark.
Chapter 2"Oh, Pinkie Pie is coming around!" Pinkie Pie raises her head up. She could tell she was in a large pony library with lots and lots of step-ladders. All she could remember was a bad dream of being covered with Celestia's blood... Twilight stood besides her wiping her face with a cloth. "Oh Twyla, I had an awful dream. It was almost as bad as the ones I had a few weeks ago." "Pinkie, I hate to say it, but that wasn't a dream." Pinkie Pie giggled. "What do ever do you mean? It had to be a dream, you don't even know what I'm gonna to say." "You saw Princess Celestia tied up to the chandler with her head, wings, and cutie mark missing." Pinkie Pie's laughter quickly died and her eyes widen. There was no way the her nightmares were coming true, it was too gruesome to actually happen. Twilight pointed to the other two ponies passed out among the furniture. Rarity was being fanned by Applejack as Fluttershy was being cuddled by Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie lifted herself from the couch and walked. It was true, all of it. Even after she accepted what had happened to her sister, someone still had brought her dreams to life... Pinkie Pie's hair deflated into a long straight mane as she broke down, piece by pieces. "Pinkie Pie?" Twilight put a hoof on her shoulder and Pinkie Pie's hair shot up in a nanosecond. "Uh hu! What is it?" The sudden burst if energetic energy caught Twilight of guard. Even Rainbow Dash and Applejack had stopped their attempts and were watching Pinkie Pie. Twilight began to back up from Pinkie Pie and bumps into the side table knocking one of the books off. As of by magic, Pinkie Pie returned to her scared self. "Oh, I didn't mean to do that. It just... Wait I've seen this book." Pinkie Pie picked up the book from the floor. The cupcake symbol on the front looked so familiar, but she couldn't put her hoof on it. Then she realized what it was. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" She tossed the book as far as she could, hitting the bust of Celestia and knocking it over. Twilight walked over to retrieve the book. "Now why did you do that Pinkie Pie? It's only a..." Twilight stopped in mid-sentence and used her magic to pick up the book and show the group the symbol Pinkie Pie freaked out over. "Now why in earthworm's gravel would Princess Celestai have a book like that?" Twilight began to flip through the pages of the book. "I don't know why, but it's exactly the same as the last one. Rainbow Dash, are you okay?" Rainbow Dash had began squeezing the life out of Fluttershy with a fake smile on her face. "You said it you didn't write that book. You laughed with me when you said you would do nothing like that." Pinkie Pie stood still all confused. "I don't understand, what did I do? I wouldn't hurt anypony. You know that right Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie Pie walked over to Rainbow Dash to give her a big hug, but Rainbow Dash put her hoof up to stop her. Gentle dropping Fluttershy and flying up to the ceiling, she took off from the library into the main entrance and flew up the first flight of stairs. The group didn't see which way she went after that. "We should go find her before something else does." Twilight was already picking up a candlestick off one of the desk and passing a plastic black rectangle. "Here, this is called a walkie-talkie. I found these in a science book and I decided to order some. If you press the button on top, you can speak to all of us." Pinkie Pie didn't like where this was heading. We should all stay in a group, not split off one by one... "Okay, but I don't think we should leave Rarity and Fluttershy alone." Applejack picked up walkie-talkie and out it in her small pouch around her neck. "That's right! One of us should stay behind just in case if one of them wakes up." "I think it's best if you stay here and do that Pinkie Pie. You only just recovered and you may may know how to tell Fluttershy." "But... Okay, I'll stay." "Excellent, now Applejack you go left up the stairs and I'll go right. Make sure that the moment you get in trouble, use the walkie-talkie." "Can do. Let's get going before anything happens to Applejack." The two gallop off and up the stairs. Pinkie Pie watched them go up and out of sight before turning around to attend to the two knocked out on the couch. She sighed. "Well I guess it's just us three." At the end of the sentence, Pinkie Pie blacked out once more and fell to the ground. Rainbow Dash huddled in the corner away from the door. Was Pinkie Pie really her friend, or just waiting to slaughter her for her skin and wings? Why was she acting so strange in there? Why did she say surprise when she turned on the lights? Rainbow Dash could hear the hoof steps of somepony coming down the hallway. "Rainbow Dash?" It was Pinkie Pie's cool, calm voice. "Rainbow Dash you have to believe me, I don't want to hurt you. I want to be friends! You have to trust me, you are the element of loyalty. As the element of laughter, we can have a good laugh when all this is done!" Pinkie Pie was right. Pinkie Pie always followed Rainbow Dash even if she didn't know what they were saying. She could trust her... "I'm in here Pinkie Pie." The door opened slowly showing a dark hallway. No light slipped through because there wasn't a light source to come from. A dark figure stood in the door way. "Pinkie Pie?" "Correctamundo!" "Do you not have a light?" "Correctamundo again!" "But... It doesn't matter. I'm sorry I ran away, I just thought..." She walked towards Pinkie Pie to give a hug, but she stopped. It didn't look like the Pinkie Pie she saw downstairs, this one had big fluffy hair and it's forehead... "It's okay Rainbow Dash! I forgive you." Rainbow Dash felt a white cloth held up to her nose. She breathed in the fumes and felt light headed. "I just wont be as nice when I have fun with you." Rainbow Dash last sight was a pony standing over her and beginning to drag her. Pinkie Pie woke up. "That wasn't very fun..." Pinkie Pie frantically looked over to check on the two sleeping mares. They were still there. "Good, I thought for a second somepony had taken then." Fluttershy and Rarity began to wake up. Fluttershy lifted her head and looked at the door way where Pinkie Pie stood. "What happened? Did I fall asleep?" Fluttershy then saw the hung up white pony on the chandler. Pinkie Pie watched as she collapsed in the same place she was again. "Down she goes again, well that didn't last long." Rarity got up and looked all around. "So it wasn't a dream?" Pinkie Pie shook her head and Rarity looked down. The silence was unsettling and was interrupted by Pinkie Pie's stomach growling. "How could you be hungry at a time like this?" Pinkie Pie raised her hoofs with no explanation. "I can't control it." Rarity sighed and followed Pinkie Pie out of the room. The two walked out of the library and headed to the dinning room on the other side of the room. Instantaneously, two more ponies returned walking down the stairs. "Any luck finding Rainbow Dash?" The two shake their head. "Maybe she headed to the kitchen for a snack!" Pinkie Pie rushed ahead but froze when she passed the doorway to the dinning room. The other three walked besides her, but then realized what happen. The room was littered with party balloons and confetti. It was a festive room until one saw the head at the end of the table. Rainbow Dash's head sat on top of a dish with a disgruntled look towards the door. Propped against her head laid a book with a cupcake on it and to it's left laid a plate of cupcakes. "Why do they call it a hack saw? It doesn't hack like knifes", written on the table in blood. The killer had struck again.
Chapter 3"Ha... Ha, ha.... Ha, ha, ha...hahahahaha." "Pinkie Pie?" Pinkie Pie ignored Twilight and continued to laugh. Her eyes began to drift to the far side of her eyes and mouth formed a crooked smirk. The laughter penetrated the whole household, echoing in ever room. It didn't stop until Applejack gave her a good knock on the head with her hind hoofs. "Thanks, I needed that." The three of them gave serious looks at her. None of them understood why she laughed. Rarity was the first to ask. "How could you laugh at moment like this?" Pinkie Pie fell back to Earth after realizing what she was laughing at. Her hair fell and her expression died too. "Rainbow Dash said I should always laugh at moments like this. I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself." "We should leave." Everypony turned to Twilight. "Now why in Apple Shire would we go and do that? We should find the rotting core and finish him ourselves!" "Twilight's right, we should go to the authorities and ask for their help." Pinkie Pie looked down. It was her fault this whole party started. Now she wished she could have saved Rainbow Dash by leaving in the first place. "Come on, let's grab Fluttershy and get out of here." The four remaining ponies trotted over to the library to grab their yellow friend. Yet when they got there, Fluttershy was missing. "That's funny, she was here a minute ago..." Everypony turned once again to Pinkie Pie. "Oh, come on! She was here a minute ago! You saw her right Rarity?" "To be honest, when I woke up I only saw you in the door way and that ghastly thing hanging up there." She pointed her hoof up to the remains of Princess Celestia. Pinkie Pie couldn't explain it, she swore she saw Fluttershy just a minute ago. "I know I..." Twilight interrupted her. "It doesn't matter we should get across the bridge. If Fluttershy really did just wake up, she probably just left. Otherwise..." She didn't finish her thought because every other pony knew what she was gonna say. "Come on, we have to leave." They make their way to the bridge with no sign of Fluttershy. The group could only hope that where ever she was, she was safe. Reaching the wooden bridge, the group slows down and get what they hope to be their last glimpse of the mansion. "I really do feel bad leaving Fluttershy behind." Twilight was falling to tears. Rarity tried to cheer her up. "Don't worry. I'm sure by the time the police come that the hole mess will be fixed!" "What about Celestia and Rainbow Dash? Who knows if it got Fluttershy too!" "Well..." Rarity was at a lost of words. They had lost two, possibly three, of their closest friends. The quiet patter of the rain didn't help the mood either. Then a large explosion went off. The four swiveled around just in time to see the bridge parts falling down from the burst of the explosion. The ponies took cover as wooden planks and logs scattered around them. What remained was the ends of the bridge which eventually fell into the abyss below. Nopony could have foresaw the bridge exploding. "Applepaste, how are we suppose to get out with the bridge gone?" "I know, Twilight or Rarity could fix it with their magic!" Pinkie Pie turned to the two of them. "Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it... Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it! Fix it!" "I can't, not even the most powerful pony could reach the wood that fell down there even if it was good wood. Most of it probably burned in the blast." "Is it safe to be out here? It's dark and if we're not careful, the killer could try to pick us off one by one." Rarity started to head back to the mansion and the rest followed. Twilight halted at the front door. As Pinkie Pie moved ahead of them to the staircase, Twilight pulled aside Rarity and Applejack. "Something's not right with Pinkie Pie. Maybe we should keep an eye on her just in case..." "Come on ponies, We have to find Fluttershy!" "We should go in groups of two." Rarity couldn't believe what she was saying, but she stuck to it. She didn't want Pinkie Pie to kill her if she wandered from the group... "Oh... Okay." Applejack saw Rarity's plan and decided to join her. "Great, then me and Rarity can go in a group. We'll go to the East side of the mansion! You and Twilight can go to the West side of the mansion." Twilight hesitated, it wasn't the best idea for her. "Umm, okay. We both have a walkie talkie, so we'll call if anything goes wrong." The two couples split up and walked their separate ways. Twilight kept her distance from Pinkie Pie. Something was not quite right with her. First, the hysterical laughing and now her spurts of craziness. The two entered a living room on the far end of the corridor with its door open. Inside lied two comfortable chairs surrounding a fireplace with a picture over it. "Hey Twilight, look at this!" Pinkie Pie rushed up to a picture of a foul with his mustache hanging off him. "It's just a poorly drawn picture, Pinkie Pie." "But look at its mustache! It's actually there! Let me just adjust it." Pinkie Pie reached over the mantle to put the mustache back on correctly. "Look, all bet..." In doing so, a trap door opened below Pinkie Pie, sending her down into a black room below. She landed with a loud thud. "Owww, that really hurt." Twilight peeked over the edge to see if she was okay. "Pinkie Pie, are you alive down there?" "Yes, but I scraped my right hoof. Can you see a way back up?" "No, but I can go get some help." "Wait, I see a door and some candle light. I think I can get back up there." "Are you sure?" Pinkie Pie stumbled up and opened the door. She was limping, but she could still walk. "Yeah, go find the others and make sure your okay." "Will do." Pinkie Pie could hear Twilight run off to the others. She maybe safe, but what about herself? She could be stuck down hear forever! She started to cry about all that's happen, Celestia's death... Rainbow Dash... Her sister... All these parties... They were killing all her friends... She was the one to blame... Then there was a voice. "You have to keep going, you're doomed if you stay down here." She couldn't tell where it was coming from and it didn't sound familiar. "Hello? Who's there?" Silence. Pinkie Pie looked up and down the stone corridor, but no one was there. Was it imaginary or was there really someone watching. Either way, the voice was right. She had to continue for all her friends. She ran to the door at the end, but began to tire quickly. She raised her hoof to the door, but collapsed once more into total darkness. "Well to be honest, I think Pinkie Pie may be involved with all this." Applejack pushed over some desks to search for any clues where Fluttershy may have gone. "Nothing... Where could she have gone." "I have no idea. There are some great books on this shelf though." Rarity was picking away at some books on the personal shelf above the guest bed. The main topic of them all were fashionable outfits of the year. "Why can't Twilight read some of these books?" "You're such a big city girl." "And?" Applejack mumbled to herself as she continued to search. Rarity had almost taken every book off the shelf save one. She kept trying to pull it with her magic, but it didn't work. "Applejack, would you be a doll and grab that book for me?" "Now why do you need that?" "I thought I saw Fluttershy's hair in it." Applejack unwillingly stopped her searching and tried to pull on the book. "Funny, it won't come down." She gave it a good yank towards her and the wall came to life. It spun around separating Rarity and Applebloom. "What in tarn nation? Rarity, can you hear me?" "Yes, are you alright." "Just peachy... Of course I'm not alright. Get me out of here!" "Okay, I'll just go find Twilight and Pinkie Pie..." "No wait, I'll just find my own way out. There's a door here, I'll meet up with you soon." Rarity didn't care. She was happily reading her fashion books to herself, glancing up every so now and again to keep an eye on the door. Applejack had wandered in a giant circle and there wasn't a door in sight. "This is worse than Rarity's obsession with clothing." Finally Applejack came across a door with an actual room behind it. She tried the door knob. "Locked... Typical." She turned around, but as soon as she did, she felt a heavy hit to the back of head...
Chapter 4Applejack awoke from her sleep. The first thing she could feel was the hard table she was on top of, followed by the chains around her hoofs. She knew her mane had been shaved off and she was bruised, but otherwise she was in decent health. She opened her eyes to be greeted by a giant axe illuminated by spot lights above her stomach. She turned her head, but the rest of the room was engulfed by darkness. "Where am I?" She rattled in her chains to no avail . "Get me the hey out of here!" "Silly, don't you want to have fun with me?" Applejack knew that voice, but it sounded too distorted to be Pinkie Pie... "I wanted you to be awake when we started playing." She heard the scraping of a knife in the background. Applejack began to hyperventilate as each scrape became longer and longer... "Why are you doing this, I thought we were friends." "And we are! Isn't nice to know that you'll die at the hoof of the ones you were closest too? I mean imagine dying alone or due to some random pony. This way, you know it's true friendship that stuck with you!" The voice drew closer, but Applejack couldn't pinpoint the location of the words. "I don't want to die." The scraping of the knife stopped. "Death? It's not actually as bad as you think." A loud laughter erupted behind Applejack. "The pain can be unbearable at first, but it gets better when your senses begin to go." The voice moved towards Applejack's thigh. "It gets really quiet then, as if you were the last pony alive. Some may call it peaceful, but me? It was a living nightmare. There was no pony to play with or dress up in... I was almost tempted to try and kill myself for fun, but that doesn't work well when you're dead." A high pitch laugh over took the room. Obviously nopony outside could hear them. "When I came back, it had felt like years had past by. I didn't understand this new feeling of life, I was stuck back inside a pony. At first, there was great agony. I couldn't control the host I was inside, she kept resisting me. Eventually one night I broke through and tonight was that night. " She sliced the blade through her thigh removing the precious symbol which once represented Applejack's innocence. She screamed in agony as the blood dribbled down the table. "Aren't we having fun? I got another surprise for you as well!" The voice was now retreating from the table to a higher platform above. "See that axe above you? It's connected to a pendulum." "A what?" Applejack was very confused, she didn't understand anything that was happening. "A pendulum? Edgar Allen Pony described it as a fierce metal frame which rocked back and forward as it lowered itself hourly. I decided to speed it up for the sake of our friendship. It should only take 15 minutes or less." Applejack felt a rectangular object land on the top of her stomach. The walkie talkie was emitting static, waiting for a response from anyone. "I thought you may like the sound, so I left it on. Look at the time, I should get going! Don't worry though, I'll start the machine for you." A loud crank went off in the background and the axe began to swing back and forward above Applejack's stomach. "See you later, alligator. Oh wait... Wel,l bye anyways." Applejack couldn't handle it anymore. She began to cry loudly as she thought of her family. What would Applebloom do without her? Will Big Mac look after the farm? Will Granny ever forgive her? Worse was the thought of what will happen to her friends. Pinkie Pie once more came out of her sleep. Again she found herself in the Library. She felt a great throb of pain in her forehead. "How long was I out?" She looked around to see if any of her friends were around, but there was nopony in sight. Lifting herself off the couch, Pinkie Pie gave herself a moment to think. "Who could it be? I know it involves the 'other' Pinkie Pie, but I finished her in my dream. There's no way she could still be alive, unless... Oh no! I have to warn the others." Pinkie Pie ran out of the room and up the stairs. She had to find them before the 'other' Pinkie Pie did! "Rarity? Are you there? Applejack?" Still no answer. The walkie talkie wasn't working either. She almost gave up when she head a squeal of excitement from the room on the far end. "These outfits are just to die for!" Twilight opened the door to find Rarity sitting in a chair enjoying a Pony Fashion magazine. There was no Applejack around. "Where's Applejack?" "She's not back yet? She got trapped behind that wall. I thought she tried contacting you with the walkie talkie." "No, it's not working." "Oh, really? Let me have a look." Rarity took the walkie talkie off her and began to examine it. "Where's Pinkie Pie?" "She fell in a trap door." "Hmm, it does seem that this place has quite a few of those... Look you didn't even turn the walkie talkie on." Twilight gave an embarrassed grin. It was her first time using them. Rarity pressed the on button. The first noise to come out of it was crying followed by a swinging noise every so often. Twilight took the walkie talkie and went into the hallway with Rarity following behind her. "Applejack?" The crying stopped, but the swinging continued. "Twilight? I don't have much time, but..." She cried again, but forced herself to stop. "It's Pinkie Pie, she's the murder!" "Are you sure, I mean..." "I'm sure, you tell that bi..." The radio cut out and replaced itself with static. The two ponies stared at each other in horror with mouths open after Applejack's last words. It wasn't until they heard the galloping of hoofs did they close their jaws. "Twilight! Rarity! I know who did it!" Rarity took a defensive stance and pulled a chair out of the room with her magic. "Guys? What's wrong." "We know Pinkie Pie, Applejack told us it was you." Pinkie Pie shook her head. "No, it's not me me. It's other me me. I think she can can control me when I'm asleep! Where's Applejack?" "We don't what happen to her. Look Pinkie Pie, we don't want any trouble." "Hu? Don't be silly I would never..." Rarity used her magic to throw the chair at Pinkie Pie. She dodged it to the right, but Rarity already had the next chair ready to throw. "Don't come near us!" "But I would never hurt you..." "You killed all our friends! Do you think that's alright!" Rarity threw the second chair and Pinkie Pie wasn't so lucky this time. The chair hit her square on the forehead leaving a few cuts. She turned and ran down the stairs. Rarity tried to catch her, but Twilight stopped her. "What are you doing? We have to go catch her." "That was a poor way to treat myself, even if she killed me once..." "What do you..." Before she could finish her thought, she received a nasty blow from Twilight's hoof. Pinkie Pie hid under the table in the dinning room. She knew she was being hunted by her friends because of the 'other' Pinkie Pie, but this? She couldn't control herself and it didn't mean she should die for it. Her stomach growled again and she clenched it. She couldn't leave for the kitchen just yet, anyone could be out there. Her stomach roared and she couldn't control her fatigue. Pinkie Pie collapsed from all the running with no food.
Chapter 5The lightening repeated over and over outside. The rain drops danced in a violent motion to the rhythm of the pain down below. Forced to head the direction given to them, their ending had already been decided by the wind. Pinkie Pie groaned in agony. "I'm never gonna forget to eat ever again." Checking that the coast was clear, she left the safety of the table and exited the dinning room into the kitchen. She had to cover her eyes as she drew close to Rainbow Dash. The smell was unbearable, yet her stomach continued to guide her forward. She pushed the door to find the kitchen in a similar state as that of her dreams. The walls were decorated with pony blood and the organs of her friends hanged from the ceiling. She couldn't keep it in any more. She ran to the sink and pulled herself over it to vomit, but she stopped. The sink was filled with blood and two blue eyes looked out at her. Pinkie Pie just puked where she stood. Her dream may have had more blood, but these were the death of her friends she was experiencing. She wiped her mouth and heard the swooping of a knife behind her. By instant, she ducked and watched as a bright silver edge fly by her head. She turned expecting someone behind her, but all she saw was the shadows of far side of the kitchen. She swore someone just... The knife came at her again from her right. She dodged it, but it quickly changed direction catching her right leg. She fell backwards and began backing away from the knife. That when she noticed the magic on the handle. "Twilight?" "Hiya Pinkie Pie! Or should I say other Pinkie Pie. I think that's what I called you last time." The voice came from the shadows, she couldnt tell where. What she could tell was that the voice was from her dreams. The one who butchered so many ponies. The one who tried to kill her while she was sleeping. The one who she killed right in front of her. "It's been a long time. Well for me at least! You don't know how board I've been!" "You... You... You..." "Died? Oh yes, and I don't blame you. I mean if I really wanted to, I could have killed you first! But I used the number system again, then every pony has a chance to have fun with me!" "How are you alive? Where are you?" "Even I don't know that fully, but I have an idea. Your friends who helped you, I think she didn't know that when she could go in, things can come out." Twilight walked out right in front of her with the knife floating besides her. Or whatever 'remained' of Twilight. Her mane was puffed up like Pinkie Pie's, but it was mixed with blood and other colored hairs. She had also reconstructed half of the original outfit she wore when they met. "Oh, do like my work? Rarity thought it was to die for. I got some blood on it though since i didn't have my proper tools." Pinkie Pie stared in horror to see all her friends combined into one piece. A necklace of Rarity and Celestia's horns hung around her neck; her tail was a combination of all her colorful victims'; a cyan and white wing laid attached to her attire; and finally Pinkie's eyes fell upon the cutie marks. They were all there with the exception of one. "What have you done to Fluttershy?" "Her? I actually don't know. I think she must have ran away before we could have any fun. Her lost, right?" Pinkie Pie finally backed into the wall behind her. There was no escape this time. "How long have you been in her?" Pinkie Pie was grasping at straws as her mind struggled with what to do. "Oo, are we playing games to distract me! How fun! Well I was only able to actually control her for the past three days, but I thought of my plan for eternity... Or however long I was dead for. I invited her to the castle before brining any of you here. She came willingly and didn't expect any bad from me. During dinner I drugged her meal with sleeping powder." The 'other' Pinkie Pie boasted with pride of her work. "It wasn't easy to drag her down to the cellar where my medical equipment was located. I also to play with her while she was asleep because of her magic powers. It wasn't much fun until I though of how I could use her body for; I thought you would have liked the decorations I set up for you!" The knife floated above the real Pinkie's head. It was waiting for the finale command. "When we arrived, I was sad that no one liked my master piece. Rainbow Dash seemed scared of it even. While I traveled up stairs, I decided to cheer her up by acting out a good book. She knew every line and expression by heart, I was very impressed." Pinkie Pie didn't want to remember the horrors of that book ever again... "I wanted to finish all the wings off, but as you guessed, Fluttershy must have scampered off. I used the group to explore outside, but she wasn't there. That's when I decided to set the fuse of the TNT below the bridge." She shook her head to get some of the blood off her and continued her story. "When we got back, Applejack and you found the secret passage ways of this lovely home. So I flipped a coin and decided it was Applejack's turn. It was unfair to not give her a chance so I gave her a time based challenge. I think I gave her the wrong impression because she thought I was you. It didn't help that I left her a walkie-talkie to contact us either. When Rarity heard Applejack blaming you, she attacked you and I couldn't let that happen. I decided to lock her up while I finished with Applejack." She pointed at the sink, where Pinkie Pie saw the eyes. "When I finally came to Rarity in my beautiful dress, she called me ugly. I decided to show her true ugliness and gouged her eyes out. Funny, she didn't appreciate it that much." The knife began to press upon Pinkie Pie's cheek. "You know, friendship is magic! Look how useful it is, I won't cut myself this time." This looked like the end for Pinkie Pie. She closed her eyes and wished she could apologize to everyone for what she did.
Ending: Bad Dream?"You did this? I'll kill you!" Pinkie Pie opened her eyes just in time to see a yellow blob shoot from the doorway at the culprit. "What? How did..." It hit dead on pushing the other Pinkie Pie into the wall. It broke open, revealing a stairwell leading downwards. The knife dropped without its magic source and clanged as it hit the floor. Pinkie Pie didn't hesitate. She picked the knife in her mouth and ran after the two. She couldn't allow her lady closest friend to die as well. Trotting carefully down the stairs to avoid tripping, Pinkie Pie followed at 'high pursuit'. She could hear the sounds of punching and biting, but it was too dark to see where they were coming from. She finally reached the last step. With the lack of light, all she could tell was that the room was large and tall. "Fluttershy?" There was no response. Pinkie Pie slowly stepped forward as she heard the fighting. Suddenly there was a large crackle and the fighting stopped. Pinkie Pie stopped in her tracks. "Fluttershy?" "Now that was fun!" Pinkie Pie whimpered at the fact of her last friends death. "Aww, don't cry, we're about to have a lot of fun!" A bolt of purple light illuminated the room as it shot across the room and grazed Pinkie Pie. She gave out a yelp as she felt the burn across her back. She ducked to the floor as the second one came at her head. She couldn't do this for much longer. "Watch where the light is conning from." It was the voice again, but she couldn't think of it. She waited for the third purple bolt. Out from the corner of the room, a light of purple began to build up at pony head level. Pinkie Pie rolled to her left and began to gallop at the corner. The bolt passed by her right at where she was and blew a chunk out of the ground. She wouldn't be able to recover in time to get another shot. Pinkie Pie swung the knife at the source landing a blow just below the head. "That... Was... Not...nice..." The voice moaned as it gurgled on each word. The pony fell and Pinkie Pie leaned over to finish the job. "Are... You... Really... Going... To... Kill... Me?" Pinkie Pie paused. Was she really gonna kill her friend who could possibly still be saved. Then she noticed the horn pointed in her direction began to glow once more. Without hesitation she plunged the knife into her old friend, killing Twilight and the spirit inside her together. Pinkie Pie fell on her rear. "It's over, it's finally dead..." The candles above her flickered on showing all the secrets of the room. Pinkie looked over her shoulder to see Fluttershy's head turned a 180 degrees. "I'm sorry, I didn't want this to happen to you." She look back at Twilight's corpse. "To any of you. I should have told you." A tear fell from her eye, followed by another and another. Soon enough the dam exploded and all her love for all her pony friends showed. "It's all my fault, all of it!" Through the tears, she noticed the knife in Twilight's body was still in condition to be used again. She pulled it out at the blood dripped from the knife. She pointed it towards herself and prepared for the worst until she heard the movement of hoofs. She looked around the room again. On the other side of the staircase was the entrance to a hallway bending right. She saw a black tail escape the corner of her eye. "Another pony?" She let go of the knife and picked herself up. She whipped away the tears and followed the hallway. The travel was long and at the end she didn't get to find the pony she saw. Instead it lead into a giant room with strange machines against the walls. She walked up to one and read the label on the machine out loud. "Hasbo?" She had never heard of the word before. Turning, she counted the number of machines. "One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six." In the middle of the entire room laid a red large button. Pinkie cautiously walked up to it. She noticed a note had been written on it with a piece of tape. -Press to reset- Pinkie Pie didn't understand what it meant but liked the writing. The writing layout was curly and had little symbols in it. She swore she had seen it before and almost entirely forgot about the entire event for a minute. Without hesitation, Pinkie pressed the button. A white beam of light took the room and Pinkie felt at ease as she became blinded and fell asleep. "Pinkie Pie? Are you gonna wake up?" Pinkie Pie woke up with all her friends looking down on her inside Twilight's house. "She looks like she just went nine rounds with a bucking kangaroo!" Applejack passed her a cup of water. Pinkie Pie took the cup and drank it all down in one gulp. She didn't know why, but felt like she hadn't had a drink in a life time. She shook the shock off as Rarity gave her a slight pat on the back. "Sorry darling, we didn't mean to give you a scare. We just wanted to surprise for your welcoming home party." "My welcoming home party?" Pinkie Pie clutched her head, she had a massive head ache. Rainbow Dash was the first to answer her. "Don't you remember? You even came to my house saying you would explain later. How did you even get up to my cloud house any ways?" "Oh, yeah..." A quiet submissive voice spoke up. "Are you okay?" "Yeah... I had a weird dream, but I can't remember it..." Princess Celestia emerged behind the group. "Well then, why don't we have a party to make you feel better?" "Oooo, that would be grand!" A knocking came from the door. Twilight opened it up as a brown male pony with a black suit walked in with a pizza on his back. "Pizza delivery for Twilight Sparkles?" "That's me!" The pony passed the pizza over and Twilight set it onto the table and began slicing it up. The others followed to grab a bit, but Pinkie Pie instead walked up to the pony. "You look familiar, do I know you?" "I don't believe so miss." Pinkie Pie's eyes lite up. "Are you new to Ponyville! If you are, I should throw you a party!" The pony looked down and shuffled his right front hoof. "I'm not new, but thanks for the idea. Enjoy the pizza!" He turned and left swaying his black tail behind him. Pinkie Pie thought to herself about his oddness. Then she turned to her friends and put on a great big smile. "You guys are the best! After all this we should have... Cupcakes!" They all nodded and agreed. The End...
Secret EndingJames watched as Pinkie Pie dodged the third bolt of magic. "Yes! At it girl." The brown pony in the black suit watched as Pinkie Pie raised the knife. He couldn't watch this part, he knew Pinkie Pie was no killer. He waited to hear the plunge of the knife before looking back. "I'm so sorry I couldn't help with the last part Pinkie." Turning on the lights with his metal bracelet, he looked back to see a broken discouraged pink pony on the floor. She picked up the knife and pointed it at herself... "Uh no. No no no no no..." He trotted loudly back and forth as she let go of the knife. "Was I too loud?" He saw her point her head towards him and he turned around. "Best to walk away, James. Just walk away." He began to head towards the reconstruction chamber under the house. Pinkie Pie slowly followed and the brown pony began to panic. "She's not suppose to see me. Come on James, I won't be allowed to go on a case alone again if she sees me." He dived into the main recreation chamber with the six huge H.A.S.B.O. machines. Without thinking, he hid behind the first one and waited for Pinkie Pie to pass. Each second burned into James eventually turning his soul into a pile of ash. It was the sound of hoof steps that rose the reincarnation of his soul. As Pinkie Pie walked in and investigated the machine, James leaned forward on his two front legs. To see her face once again was a blessing. "Hasbo?" Her voice echoed in his ears as she began to count the number of machines. The hidden pony remembered the better days when the two spent time having adventures of a lifetime. She pivoted and stared at the handwritten message James had placed on top of the button. Just like in his memories, James can see the fear replaced with happiness. Then she pressed the button. As normal, the F.L.A.S.H. filled the room with light and blinded Janes for a second. He could have worn the sun glasses provided to him from the agency, but he didn't see a need for them. The device didn't work on ponies like him... He walked over to Pinkie and checked her pulse. Like most subjects, it was weaker but still there. "Should be about six hours before she wakes up." An old, green stallion entered the room with the same black suit as James. The stallion had a slow steady walk and brought a chill along with him. "Five hours, fifty two minutes, and thirty seven seconds exactly... It's always that long." "You know our Moderator won't be happy? I was watching the eye scanner and saw you got involved in the story. You can't do that." His voice was sympathetic and calm. When James first meet him, it surprised him a lot. The stories behind the stallion were that of a cold hearted killer who got the job done. "You did it on the missions we did together though." "But this was your first case by yourself. The privileges comes with the rank." The stallion walked over to the main computer and began to punch a code into the H.A.S.B.O machines. One by one, the hatch below the machine opened and a pony fell out. Each one of the victims had be recreated in there original forms. The stallion turned again and but on an aweful fake southern accent. "This machine's a beaut, ain't she?" "I don't know, you come back by the user's image of you." "It's progress either way. Back in my day, a pony's death would be the end of it. I would have to erase every single pony's mind that it ever existed. Met a few unique ponies in the process though." "You say it like you miss those days." The stallion grumbled, he missed most of his older days. "I'm still not to old to pull a fast one on you." "Are the editors done cleaning up stairs?" "Almost, but we're tempted to burn this building down. Ponies always come here to murder their friends." "I always found it funny when I asked about this house. No one seemed to remember of coming up here." "Well, when you can't be 'flashed', you find yourself knowing more than most ponies." A female unicorn in a white clean suit walked in with a gas mask above her head. "Editor Dealer, all finished I presume?" "Eddy, you know you can call me by my real name." The old stallion gave her a strict look and sighed. "Kelly... Are you done ?" "Why yes, but we were told we can't destroy the house. Otherwise we won't know what would be the next place used for murder mysteries. It would be like Cave Creek all over..." James interrupted her, he wanted to get them home quickly. "That's good and all, but did we finish off the spirit once and for all?" Kelly gave him a cold look. She didn't like to be intruded, especially by a pony like himself. "Ah, Author Surfusa, I didn't think they would give such a case to you." "You know you could call me James?" "I know... No we didn't catch it, it escaped." Eddy smile disappeared and James' head dropped. Eddy then noticed James and gave him a pay on the back. "It's okay, we'll get it next time." "I don't care... Let's just get these ponies to there party. James left the room. That spirit is still out there, and some other pony will eventually be having bad dreams or killing ponies again... All thanks to James' failure. Eddy and James watched outside Twilight's window as everyone began to wake up. The Editors had set up the party for them including a bucket of apples and a record player, but they didn't remember to leave the pizza on the table. "So you okay with this?" James chuckled at the comment. "Of course, what could go wrong?" "If it's too much, I could..." Eddy became serious, he knew the past James had with Pinkie. It's the reason he recruited him. "Look, I'm fine. I'm going in when she wakes up." James was getting frustrated. Nopony understood that he left his past behind him. It wasn't going to get in his way. Pinkie woke up on the couch. James began to make his way to the front of the house. He waked up the door with the pizza on his back. He gave it a loud knock and Twilight answered it... The monitor continued to blink green words as James finished his report. :Summary - capture of murdering spirit failure. : :File End... : :Author: Surfusa (Author's note: I'll be starting a new story that has a similar concept to Men In Black. If you wish to be a character just send me a message.)
Ending: Where's Fluttershy?Fluttershy thought out load as she flew through the clouds. "I hope the others are alright. If I hurry, I can get the police before its too late." "I thought you would last much long other Pinkie Pie! I mean last time you put a fight, this is just pitiful. I guess I'll just have to find some other pony to have fun with." The left the lifeless pink pony alone on the floor. The slits ran deep into the body, legs, and face. It had become a red zebra with pink stripes. The possessed Twilight exited the mansion and watched as sunlight broke through the clouds. "Look at the brand new day. So many ponies to met and be friends with! I wonder how I'll be fair to all of them? I know, I'll use a hat and pick names! Everyone will have a chance then." She began to walk down the steps. "Oops, I almost forgot." Lighting the lantern at the foot of the entrance, the new Pinkie Pie threw the weak glass platted light source at the wooden mansion. She then made her way to the bridge and used her magic to create a small pathway with the rocks around her. " World, here I come!" She jumped from rock to rock as the mansion became engulfed with flames. Nopony would ever find the remains of the party that took place... The End
