Rainbow Party

Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie were meeting at Sugarcube Corner for a sleepover that was gonna last a few nights. It was just going to be the two of them and no one else. On the way to the meeting spot, Rainbow Dash was stopped by a flashing light that caused her to follow. She followed the light to the edge of the Everfree Forest. She huffed and started to walk back not wanting to follow the light deeper in, but before she could turn around she heard someone call for help. Rainbow's ears perked up trying to hear where the distress was coming from. Not to her surprise, it was in the forest and without hesitation, she ran in looking for the pony in trouble. It was too dark for her to see, the trees blocking the moonlight making it sort of pitch black. Rainbow tried to look for her surroundings but she noticed that she was completely lost. Her ears fell flat as she looked around not able to see where she was let alone know where she was in the forest.

Pinkie Pie picked up a few things before heading to Sugar Cube Corner. She planned a whole night of them making Smores. Pinkie skipped along the path humming to herself. She was thinking of all the fun things they would do together through the few nights they were spending together. Pinkie heard a voice behind her as it sounded like Rainbow Dash. She turned around dropping the things she was holding.
"Dashie! We were supposed to meet at the bakery" Pinkie said as Rainbow stepped to her.

"Yea about that Pinkie. I'm not going to make it" Rainbow said heartbroken.
"Awe I had a big night planned. What came up that was so important," Pinkie asked trying to hug Rainbow.
It's nothing, don't worry about it" Rainbow said pushing Pinkie off her. Pinkie was confused also hurt that her best friend could not make it to the activity they planned for weeks. Pinkie only watched as Rainbow Dash walked away. Pinkie was on the verge of crying as she just sat on the ground with her ears lowered.

Rainbow Dash was rushing around trying to find a way out of the forest. She looked up and knew the brush was too thick for her to fly through, but she could fly low to the ground to make herself faster. Rainbow Dash started to fly in a direction that she had a good feeling about. After a moment she flew right out of the forest. She sighed with relief then landed and started on her way back to Sugar Cube Corner. After a good few minutes, she found Pinkie Pie sitting on the path crying softly to herself.
"Pinkie! Are you ok" Rainbow Dash said running to her.

"Y-Yea I'm just sad at what you told me.." Pinkie responded as she wiped the tears from her eyes.
"What do you mean? I was lost in the Everfree forest" Rainbow said confused helping Pinkie Pie up.

"You said you couldn't make it," Pinkie said sniffling.
"Pinkie I'm here now and we are going to have a fun time we have been planning this thing for weeks," Rainbow said smiling. Pinkie smiled and picked up her stuff. The both of them walked together talking and laughing but Rainbow's mind was stuck thinking about what happened to Pinkie.
"Hey Pinkie, what did I say to you word for word?" Rainbow asked.

"Oh well you walked to me and told me that you were not going to make it to the sleepover, it made me so sad," Pinkie said opening the door to the bakery.
"Well, whoever that was it wasn't me, I'm way too excited about this sleepover," Rainbow said hugging Pinkie. They both walked into the bakery as Mrs. Cake was there to greet them.
"Hello, girls are you two ready for the sleepover." Mrs. Cake asked.

"You bet Mrs. C!" Pinkie exclaimed hoping to her.
"OK calm down Pinkie, I want you two to promise me that you won't leave me a mess to clean up when I get back," Mrs. Cake said holding the keys to Pinkie.

"We promise not to leave a mess Mrs. Cake" Rainbow and Pinkie said taking the keys. Mrs. Cake smiled and hugged them both before leaving them to their night.

Rainbow closed the door behind Mrs. Cake and looked at Pinkie who was going through her bags she brought. Rainbow watched closely as she tossed out random items. Rainbow sat still watching as pinkie tossed a spoon that hit Rainbow on the nose. She looked at her nose and rubbed it as Pinkie pulled out stuff to make smores.
"let's get started!" Pinkie said running to the kitchen as Rainbow followed.

" Hold on Pinkie lets get changed into our Pajamas," Rainbow said grabbing Pinkie's tail.
"Oh fine," Pinkie said running to the bathroom to get changed. Rainbow chuckled to herself as she pulled out some marshmallows she had laced with ecstasy. Rainbow switched out Pinkie's marshmallows with the ones she made then quickly got dressed in her pajamas. Pinkie skipped back into the kitchen and took out a marshmallow and ate it.
"OK, how many do you want Dashie," Pinkie asked chewing the marshmallow.

"Just one Pinkie, " Rainbow said smiling.
"Just one? I'm going to eat ten!" Pinkie exclaimed. Rainbow blinked a few times knowing that it was a bad idea.

"Pinkie maybe you should only eat one or two, not ten," Rainbow said trying to change Pinkie's mind.
"Rainbow that's no fun, it's a sleepover we eat and eat then we sleep," Pinkie said eating another marshmallow. Rainbow Dash gritted her teeth as Pinkie made a few smores and gave one to her as Pinkie was eating one. Rainbow watched her for a while and after seeing the marshmallows have no effect on Pinkie she ate her own Smore kind of relieved.

Pinkie ate two more s'mores made with Rainbow's marshmallows. In the meantime, Rainbow Dash was feeling funny as she ate another S’more. Rainbow looked at Pinkie then at her hooves as she began to sweat. Her heart rate picked up as she watched her coat and skin peel off of her hooves. Blood pooled under her as it swirled making a hole. Rainbow fell into the hole and smashed into the ground causing her to lose her breath. She sat up and looked around seeing the Everfree forest around her.

"H-Hello," Rainbow called out as her voice echoed through the trees. Rainbow walked for a while then she saw Pinkie laughing sitting on the ground blood surrounding her. Rainbow Dash walked closer.

"Pinkie?" Rainbow asked tapping Pinkies shoulder. Pinkie stood slowly and turned to Rainbow With the biggest smile screaming bloody murder as her eyes burned out of her head leaving dark holes and a charred face. Rainbow kept watching as blood ran out of pinkies ears and mouth and pooled under her. Rainbow then tried to fly away but couldn't take flight. When she looked at her wings she saw they were broken so she ran off as tears fell from her eyes. She looked behind her to see if Pinkie was still there but saw nothing so she stopped and looked around only seeing darkness still hearing Pinkie scream. Rainbow covered her ears and closed her eyes tight as she heard Pinking calling her name. She opened her eyes to see Pinkie standing over her.

"Dashie are you ok your so hot?" Pinkie asked helping Rainbow Dash up as she started to cry.
"P-Pinkie please don't eat another S’more" Rainbow pleaded.

"Why Rainbow what's wrong with them," Pinkie Pie asked holding Rainbow close.
"I, I laced them with ecstasy, I thought it would brighten up our night I'm sorry Pinkie," Rainbow Dash said looking at Pinkie with tears streaming down her face.

"Why didn't you tell me Rainbow that is so dangerous." Pinkie said scolding Rainbow Dash.
"I know Pinkie I'll ask from now on, I just had the worst trip in my life," Rainbow said wiping her eyes.

"What did you see," Pinkie asked.
"Well, I looked at my hooves and..." Rainbow stopped as she looked at pinkie to see her eyes were black holes. Blood started to drip out of the holes where Pinkie's eyes were supposed to be. Rainbow jumped screaming and ran away. Rainbow tripped over her own hooves and fell through the ground. She fell as the darkness surrounded her. What felt like hours she then fell into a table then rolled off of the table onto her back on the ground. Rainbow looked up to see a small light swing back and forth. Before Rainbow could sit up Pinkie jumped on her pinning her to the ground. Rainbow looked at Pinkie who has a huge smile on her face.

"It's time for you to smile Rainbow!" Pinkie said holding a knife with her hooves. Rainbow struggled as Pinkie stuck the knife down into her cheek. Rainbow whimpered in pain as Pinkie laughed. Rainbow then used all her strength to pull the knife out of her cheek with pinkie trying to push it back down. She struggled as the pain from the wound made it hard for her to fight back. With all her strength Rainbow managed to push Pinkie off her and run, but Pinkie chased after her laughing the whole time. Rainbow Dash looked behind her to see how close Pinkie was only to see that Pinkie was almost on top of her. Rainbow stopped to try and trip up Pinkie which caused Pinkie to ram into her. They rolled on the ground and Rainbow managed to get on top of Pinkie. She then grabbed the knife out of Pinkie's mouth and stabbed her until her laughing stopped. Rainbow dropped the knife breathing hard looking at Pinkie who was now bleeding out on the floor, what she was hoping is that Pinkie was not gonna be a problem anymore. Rainbow fell onto her back blacking out from pain and fear. When she woke up she smiled and chuckled a little knowing it was a bad trip. She rubbed her eyes and walked into the kitchen to find Pinkie and when she did her eyes went wide as her heart rate picked up, what she saw was Pinkie Pie laying on the floor with multiple stab wounds in her chest and stomach. Rainbow ran to her as tears fell from her eyes

"Pinkie! Pinkie please" Rainbow yelled as she put her ear to Pinkie's chest listening for a heartbeat but heard nothing. She cried on Pinkie's lifeless body as she then tried to bring her dead friend back to life, but no matter what she did it was useless. Rainbow then started to panic as she got up and went to wash the blood off herself.

" I, I wasn't here I was, I was at home sleeping," Rainbow said to herself washing, making sure to get all the blood off her coat. She ran out the door and flew up to her house hiding her pajamas under her bed along with the knife still covered in her friend's blood. She looked out her window as Mrs. Cake walked into the door of the bakery and her scream is heard throughout the town. The first to arrive was Twilight Sparkle as she was in town near the bakery. Twilight ran to see what was going on only to see Mrs. Cake breathing hard and crying some.

"What's wrong Mrs. Cake," Twilight said running to her.
"Pinkie Pie, help, blood everywhere," Mrs. Cake said what she could as she was in shock. Twilight went inside seeing bloody hoof prints leading into the kitchen. She followed them to see Pinkie Pie dead on the floor covered in blood. Twilight gagged and ran out to Mrs. Cake

"Can you go get Applejack and Rarity, I'll keep everyone out till you get back," Twilight said covering her mouth with her hoof. All Mrs. Cake could do was nod and run off to get Applejack and Rarity. After a few minutes, Applejack and Rarity ran up with a lot of questions.

"What is it Twilight? What has got Mrs. Cake all upset?" Applejack asked tilting her hat back.
"Go into the kitchen, we need a plan we don't need anypony to see this," Twilight said as they walked into the kitchen seeing Pinkie's lifeless body. Rarity gasped and ran out tearing up as Applejack walked out looking at the ground more angry than sad.

"I have an idea but we will need a cart," Applejack said
"What do you mean, Fluttershy should know about this and Rainbow Dash" Rarity spoke up stepping to Twilight.

"Rainbow Dash was supposed to be with Pinkie last night," Twilight said looking at Rarity who stepped back some.
"So what you're saying is Rainbow Dash could have been the one who killed Pinkie," Applejack said holding tears back.

" It's a possibility," Twilight Said as Rarity walked back and forth.
"OK Rarity go tell Fluttershy to meet us at the hospital entrance," Twilight said as Rarity nodded and ran off to get Fluttershy

"And Applejack go get a cart and hurry back," Twilight said as Applejack ran off to get a cart. Twilight looked into the sky as a tear fell to the ground. After a few minutes that felt like hours, Applejack ran back with a cart and stopped by the door of the bakery as Twilight went inside with Applejack. They walked out and put Pinkie pie on the cart and covered it up. They ran to the hospital where they hoped a doctor could help Pinkie.

Fluttershy and Rarity ran up to the hospital to meet Twilight and Applejack. Fluttershy still had tears falling down her cheeks as she approached the hospital.

" OK, so girls we need to find Rainbow Dash to see what happen to Pinkie Pie," Twilight said walking away from the hospital as the rest followed her.
" Oh when we find her I'm going to tear her a new one," Applejack said walking fast.

"I can't believe Pinkie is gone," Fluttershy said flying above Twilight
"I can't either Fluttershy, I need you to check Rainbow's house to see if she is there," Twilight said as Fluttershy nodded flying off to her house. Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity followed on the ground. As they reached Rainbow's house Fluttershy walked in and found Rainbow sitting on her bed looking out her window at the bakery.

"Rainbow please come outside, please," Fluttershy asked as she put her hoof on Rainbow's shoulder. Rainbow turned and looked at Fluttershy, both of their eyes were watering up. She got up and slowly went to the ground as Applejack was the first one to confront her.

"What in the hell happen to Pinkie!" Applejack yelled which made Rainbow stumble back.
"I just," Rainbow tried to say but couldn't speak.

" I just what, Rainbow tell me what happened!" Applejack yelled louder as she pushed Rainbow back
"I killed her! Are you happy!" Rainbow Dash snapped at Applejack. Applejack looked at the ground her face covered by her hat and turned around. It looked like she was turning to leave but Applejack kicked Rainbow in her muzzle knocking her to the ground on her back. Rainbow sat up accepting her punishment as Rarity walked to her and smacked Rainbow across the face causing her head to turn. Rainbow didn't move she only spit the blood that was building up in her mouth on the ground. She then looked up at Rarity as she huffed trying not to cry and walked off with Applejack. It was Fluttershy's turn as walked to Rainbow and just pushed her back down to her back but then ran off crying. Rainbow sat back up and she looked at Twilight who was only watching her.

"Well Twilight what are you going to do, beat me to death, rost me alive with magic because you would be doing me a favor," Rainbow said holding her face in pain.
"Rainbow unlike the others I'm not going to beat you or roast you. I want to know what caused you to do this." Twilight said helping Rainbow Dash up to her hooves. Rainbow began to tell Twilight what she did and what happened to what she could remember.

"Dash you knew way better than doing drugs like that," Twilight scolded.
" I know Twilight I messed up, I messed up so bad," Rainbow replied wiping the blood off her nose.

"Don't worry Rainbow I'll figure out a way for you to get your friends back," Twilight said smiling slightly.
"No Twilight they will never forgive me for what I did to Pinkie," Rainbow said flying up to her house as Twilight followed.

"You don't know that Rainbow you have to give them a chance," Twilight said following Rainbow to her room.
"They won't give me a chance!" Rainbow Dash snapped at Twilight.

"You have to believe in them," Twilight said stepping back.
"I believe that Applejack will kill me with my back turned," Rainbow snapped again.

"Rainbow stop talking like that you know what I meant," Twilight said putting her hoof on Rainbow's shoulder. Rainbow's eyes watered as she started to cry.

"It's going to be alright Rainbow, stay here I'll convince your friends to come and see you so you can explain to them what happen, just like you told me," Twilight said wiping Rainbow's tears off her cheek.

Twilight flew down to go get her friends as Rainbow dash pulled the knife out from under her bed looking at it. Pinkie's Blood was still stained on the knife. She sat it on the bed looking out the window hoping her friends would understand what happened. Rainbow felt someone pull her wings back rather hard and before she could turn her head to see who it was she felt a sharp pain in her back between her wings. As she looked behind her she saw Queen Chrysalis standing behind her holding her wings in her magic while smiling.

"Thank you for making it easier to kill two ponies with one knife," The Queen said chuckling. Before Rainbow could say anything Queen Chrysalis took the knife and cut Rainbow's wings making them useless. She then stabbed the knife into Rainbow's back again before throwing her from her house sending her down to the ground. Rainbow fell as she looked up at the Queen who was watching her. After a quick seconds Rainbow crashed into the dirt landing on her back causing the knife to shove through her and out her chest. All rainbow could do was look up at the Queen as her blood pooled around her. Rainbows life faded away quickly. Rainbow's eyes closed slowly as Queen Chrysalis smiled hugely.

"Two down four to go," Chrysalis said as she flew off laughing darkly.

Applebuck Season

It's been about a week after the death of Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. Everypony was hurt, but Applejack was the one that was most affected, she caused pain to Rainbow Dash moments before she died. Applejack wished she could take back what she did, it was eating her up inside. She worked herself to the bone trying to get her mind clear of it. One afternoon Big Mac was scared for her health as Applejack worked for almost a full day straight so he went to find Twilight Sparkle.

"She would know what to do," Big Mac told himself. It took him quite a while to find Twilight. he did as she was near the center of Ponyville with Spike. Big Mac told her what was happening with Applejack and Twilight agreed to stop by after she was done with what she was doing and check on her, but Twilight saw the worried look on his face and decided to come back with him right away. When they reached the farm it was no surprise to them to see Applejack working in the fields kicking trees and collecting apples. Twilight walked over to Applejack and saw she was worn down and very tired.
"Applejack can you take a break and speak with me for a second," Twilight asked. Applejack didn't listen as she just kicked another tree.

"Look I know you're sad about Rainbow and Pinkie, but you need to let go, your working yourself into the ground" Twilight spoke raising Applejack's head up so she is looking into her eyes. Twilight could see the pain and sorrow in Applejack's eyes.
"I'm not sad, I'm irritated," Applejack spoke.

"Irritated? About what?" Twilight asked.
"Irritated that no pony is investigating Rainbow's death!" A.J snapped.

"Applejack, there was nothing there, just a knife in her chest" Twilight responded taking a step back.
"Why would there be cuts on her wings and a hoof print on her neck if she killed herself!" Applejack snapped again.

"You did kick her Applejack" Twilight responded.
"Not in her neck, at least I thought." Applejack said.

"Look A.J all we have is a hoof print that you could have caused," Twilight said.
"But I didn't murder her" Applejack responded with a sad tone.

"I believe you A.J, and I know your friends do too," Twilight said reassuringly.
"Yea, tell that to Rarity who was going through my stuff looking for a 'brush' " Applejack said walking back to the barn.

"Maybe she really was looking for a brush," Twilight said following Applejack.
"You know damn well I would be the last one she would come to get a brush." Applejack snapped.

"That's true but maybe she was just wanting to see you," Twilight said
"Twilight, she was looking for evidence that I killed rainbow out of rage," Applejack said turning toward Twilight

"Well did she find anything" Twilight asked
"Are you siding with her now?!" A.J asked yelling at Twilight.

"No I'm not Applejack just calm down please," Twilight said trying to keep Applejack from lashing out.
"Can you please go get some rest your family is worried about you," Twilight said.
Applejack nodded and walked to the barn as Twilight watched from outside. Applejack walked to her room taking off her hat putting it on the bedpost jumping into bed not really wanting to go to sleep. Applejack lied in bed forcing herself to fall asleep when suddenly a big bang is heard throughout the bard. She jumped up running to the noise to find Applebloom under a few apple buckets.

"Um, help please," Applebloom said clearly stuck under them. Applejack chuckled to herself walking to her sister picking the buckets off her.
"Can you be a little quieter please I'm gonna try to sleep some," Applejack asked walking back to her room. Applebloom ran outside to keep the barn quiet. Applejack went back to her room and jumped back into bed. She finally got to sleep after a good few minutes, but only to be awakened later by a banging sound again. Applejack huffed and chuckled thinking it was Applebloom jumping on her bed like she does every night. She only shrugged off the noise but she then heard the window creak open. She hesitated to sit up thinking it was the wind but she heard heavy steps of hooves walking in her room. Applejack sat up quickly and saw Rainbow Dash standing there. Rainbow Dash had a scar on her chest and neck, her eyes were empty of color. Applejack sat there her eyes wide looking at her so-called "dead" friend.

"I'll give you one chance, run now and I'll leave for the night," Rainbow said her voice deep and echoing. Applejack's heart was pounding. She just stared at Rainbow Dash to shocked to do anything. After a few moments, Applejack ran for the door. She opened it to only find Pinkie Pie staring back at her with a giant smile on her face. Applejack's heart skipped a beat as she turned to run but only to see Rainbow Dash right in her face. Rainbow smiled pushing Applejack into a corner
"You lost your chance," Rainbow said her voice still demonic. Applejack only closed her eyes as everything went quiet. After a moment she opened them back only to see Rainbow standing there, but she was normal with tears in her eyes

" Why did you kick me Applejack? "Rainbow asked her voice now normal
"I-I don't know," Applejack said cornered by Rainbow.

"You don't know?" rainbow asked her eyes not tearing up anymore.
"I don't know Rainbow I'm sorry," A.J said on the edge of crying.

"Sorry, sorry! won't help me where I am now!" Rainbow's voice was demonic again. Applejack busted into tears as she heard a small voice, it was her sister,
"Applejack? Are you ok," Applebloom asked walking into A.J's room to see her in the corner crying. Applebloom walked to her and hugged her tightly. Applejack hugged back noticing Rainbow and Pinkie were gone. They both spent the night in the corner hugging keeping each other warm from the cold night as Applejack was too scared to move.
The following morning Applejack woke up to find herself in her bed and Applebloom gone. She got up and looked out the window to see Big Mac had done her chores for the day and started his. She only sighed thinking about last night.

"Was it a dream?" Applejack asked herself. Twilight stepped into the room seeing her.
"Hey, you ok AJ? Twilight asked. Applejack jumped not knowing she was in her room.

" O-oh yea I'm fine" AJ responded turning to her.
"I've come by to check on you," Twilight said.

"Well I'm going to wash dishes would you like to help," Applejack said passing Twilight walking into the kitchen. Twilight followed her closely.
"So did you sleep ok?" Twilight asked.

"Yea, yea I did actually," A.J said not wanting to tell Twilight about what she saw. They both washed dishes for a while as they laughed and had a fun time mostly playing in the water. Twilight thought Applejack was finally ok since she hasn't laughed like this in weeks.

"Twilight I have to tell you something," Applejack said drying her hooves off.
"Oh? What about," Twilight asked

"I had a nightmare last night, it was about Rainbow and Pinkie," Applejack said walking outside.
"I see, what happens in this dream," Twilight asked following her. A.J told Twilight all of what happened in the dream or what she thought was a dream.

"You are probably still torn up inside about kicking her since she actually asked you why you kicked her," Twilight said. Applejack only looked at the ground her smile fading.
"I was angry and upset, I just reacted that's why I kicked her." Applejack said wiping her eyes.

"You just need to try and sleep more and fight through it I know you're strong enough to," Twilight responded. Applejack swallowed nervously thinking about sleeping again.
"O-ok I'll try Twilight," Applejack said. Twilight smiled and hugged her friend one more time before walking back to Ponyville.
All Applejack could do was sit on a bench and think about what she saw. It made time fly by, but she was soon pulled from her trance by Applebloom calling her to come to eat. Applejack sighed and walked inside noticing that it is night time already. She sat at the table but she didn't say anything. Applebloom only spoke about her day trying to get a cutie mark. After dinner, Applejack took a shower and went to bed but she didn't sleep only thought about what she saw for most of the night but she soon did fall asleep. The next morning she woke up and smiled not having the dream again. She got up and got ready and fixed breakfast with a smile on her face feeling a lot better. Twilight walked into the kitchen to check on Applejack.

"Well good morning Applejack," Twilight said watching her.
"Good morning to you to Twilight" Applejack turned to see Twilight standing there but her eyes were missing.

"What is it Applejack? it looks like you have seen a ghost" Twilight said stepping closer. Applejack screamed and jumped up from her slumber seeing its morning. She was breathing hard looking around.
"What the hell!" Applejack yelled hitting the wall with her head. Twilight ran up hearing the bang from the kitchen.

"You ok applejack?" Twilight asked worriedly
"Yea just fucking peachy twilight," Applejack said walking out of the room. Twilight was confused at the sudden anger Applejack just had.

"Applejack what is wrong," Twilight asked running after her.
"I had another damn nightmare," Applejack said splashing water on her face making sure she didn't bruise herself.

"Was it Rainbow and Pinkie again?" Twilight asked
"No, it was you this time, It was so real," Applejack said turning to Twilight.

"Well what happened," Twilight asked stepping to her
"Really nothing I was cooking breakfast when you walked in and said good morning but as I turned around you had no eyes." Applejack said walking to the kitchen. Twilight was shocked and confused so she went to talk to Applebloom to see what she knows.
Twilight knocked on Applebloom's bedroom door and she opened it.

"Yes, 'em? Applebloom asked looking up at Twilight.
"May I come in and ask you about your sister," Twilight asked. Applebloom nodded and let her in and closed the door behind them.

"Is there anything you know about her lately that was strange," Twilight asked taking a seat on Applebloom's bed.
"Well last night I heard applejack crying and when I went to check on her she was In the corner, she was terrified," Applebloom said.

"Oh, that's very strange do you remember anything else? twilight asked.
"Well her room was very warm but when I hugged her she was freezing," Applebloom said fixing her bow.

"Thank you Applebloom," Twilight said walking out of her room to find Applejack. Twilight looked all throughout the barn but couldn't find her so she asked Big Mac. He told her that she was in the orchard picking apples. Twilight went outside looking for her.

Applejack was bucking apples finishing up her chores when she heard steps behind her. She didn't pay them much mind thinking it was Big Mac then she heard "why" echo through the trees. Applejack swallowed and turned around only to hear a giggle she then began to panic. She started to run for the barn the voices getting closer and closer. She turned around to see how close they were but didn't see anything as she turned back around she smashed full force into a tree knocking her on her back. Her ears were ringing and blood was running from her muzzle. Applejack was stunned from pain to move as blood filled her throat. Her eyes soon slowly closed and she blacked out. When she opened her eyes again she was in her bed. Applejack sat up and touched her muzzle jumping back as the pain shot through her. She tried to get up but fell to the floor unable to move.

"B-big Mac!" Applejack called out. She then heard footsteps and her door open
"Well, well, well," A pony spoke. Applejack's eyes went wide as she recognized the voice. It was Rainbow Dash.

"You look like your in pain," Rainbow said with a chuckle in her voice. All AJ could do was roll over and look at her.
"What you feel right now is what it felt like when you kicked me!" Rainbow yelled. Applejack closed her eyes hoping it was a dream.

"Why are you laying there get up!" Rainbow yelled
"Get up! get up now!" Rainbow yelled as her voice faded to Twilight's voice.

"Applejack! please wake up" Twilight yelled. Applejack gasped and sat up spitting up blood taking deep breaths. Twilight hugged her tightly
"Oh thank Celestia I thought you were dead," Twilight said helping Applejack up.

"What happen?" Twilight asked.
"I was running and I guess I ran into a tree," Applejack said holding her muzzle.

"Um A.J there is no tree right here," Twilight said. Applejack turned and looked to see no tree.
"I swear that I hit a tree," Applejack said now confused to what hit her.

"Its ok don't worry about it, we need to get back to the barn anyway," Twilight said helping Applejack back to the barn. All A.J could think about was what she hit while she walked all the way back to the barn. By the time they reached the barn, it was completely dark outside.
"Applejack it's ok I'll stay with you till morning so I know you will be ok tonight," Twilight said. Applejack only nodded and went to get ready for bed. Twilight knew Applejack was not herself. Twilight helped Applejack get cleaned up.

"Hey, Twilight can you go check on Applebloom while I get ready for bed?" Applejack asked. Twilight smiled and went to check on Applebloom. Applejack looked into the mirror
"I know it was a tree, I know it was." Applejack told herself. She looked down at the water as a tear fell into it

"It wasn't a tree AJ" a voice spoke. Applejack recognized the voice and looked into the mirror to see Rainbow Dash standing behind her she was covered In scars and mostly decomposed.
"It was me, I wanted to pay you back," Rainbow spoke with a smile on her face.

"What do you want from me," Applejack asked scared out of her mind but stood her ground not showing any fear.
"I want you to feel the pain I felt," Rainbow said

"I have felt it, I know-" Applejack tried to say but Rainbow stopped her.
"No, you haven't! you have not felt anything yet!" Rainbow yelled as Applejack jumped.

"I'm far from being done with you," Rainbow said as her smile faded from her face. Rainbow then grabbed Applejack's head and shoved her head under the water. Applejack struggled against Rainbow but her grip was too strong holding her head under. Applejack's movement slowed and Rainbow pulled her out of the water and let Applejack fall to the floor gasping and coughing for air. Rainbow looked down at her with a frown on her face.
"Why won't you fight back?" Rainbow spoke.

"Because I deserve this for not listening to you." Applejack responded not moving from the floor. Rainbow kicked Applejack across the face. As she looked back Rainbow was gone. Applejack got up and cleaned herself up again and only got ready for bed.
As she left the bathroom she saw Twilight sitting in the chair by her bed. Applejack wanted to ask her if she heard anything but she didn't feel like dealing with the questions that followed when she told Twilight anything. She just got into bed wanting to go to sleep and forget it. As morning rolled by Applejack woke up to the smell of pancakes. She got up and walked to the door as she opened the door Pinkie kicked her in her muzzle knocking her on her back, stunning her. Before she could do anything Pinkie jumped on her hind legs pinning Applejack down.

"I got her Rainbow!" Pinkie said with a smile on her face. Rainbow stepped in locking the door behind her.
"Well, good morning Applejack I bet you slept well." Applejack's heart rate picked up as she was scared out of her mind.

"Do you remember the dream I had that Twilight told you about when I killed Pinkie it was why I killed her?" Rainbow asked stepping to her.
"N-no," Applejack said.

"Well, it was why I killed her!" Rainbow yelled as she held down her front legs.
"Why don't we recreate that dream!" Rainbow yelled as Pinkie pulled out a knife holding it in her hooves. Applejack was going to scream for help but rainbow gagged her with her own hat.

"No none of that" Rainbow said smiling.
"Well, doctor Pinkie I say we should start," Rainbow said as Pinkie smiled and stuck the knife into Applejack's cheek and cut her causing blood to run down. Pinkie then slid the knife into Applejack's chest over and over again. Applejack was shaking and crying in pain as Pinkie stuck her hoof into one of the big cuts ripping it open splashing blood on herself, the tear was big enough to show her internal organs. Pinkie then pulled out a few of Applejack's ribs throwing them around the room laughing, playing in Applejack's chest cavity.

"Stop that and get what we came for" rainbow snapped wiping the blood off her face. Pinkie frowned and reached inside her chest and ripped out applejack's heart with a quick pull. Applejack gave one last gasp as it was her last breath, her life now faded away.
"You are no fun," Pinkie said handing the heart over to Rainbow.

"Shut up the queen said to be quick and that was the opposite of quick," Rainbow snapped getting up. The room flashed green as Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie was actually changelings. they left the barn from the window leaving Applejack in her own pool of blood for her family to find.

Rare Nightmare

Rarity did her best keeping the memories of her friends passing away deep inside her mind, out of thought. Rarity mostly worked on dresses pushing the thoughts deeper and deeper down, but she never knew there was someone watching her, keeping close eyes on her. That, someone, was Twilight. Twilight was worried about her remaining friends, but since Fluttershy was out of town Twilight knew she could focus her time on Rarity, to make sure she was ok.

It was a slow day for Rarity there was no one coming in to order a dress so she decided to make random and very nice seasonal dresses. After a few hours Rarity started to hear a noise. Thinking it was Opal she didn't pay much mind until she noticed that her cat Opal was sitting on the window seal in front of her. She looked back seeing a pile of fabric on the floor, thinking they just fell she went back to sewing her current dress.

"Hey, Rarity!" Twilight said in a high tone scaring Rarity making her jump some.
"Oh, Twilight, Hey" Rarity responded calming down rubbing the tiredness from her eyes.

"Sorry I scared you Rarity" Twilight apologized walking closer to see what she was doing.
"It's ok Twilight, just let me know when you enter the store next time," Rarity said going back to sewing. Twilight watched Rarity for a while slowly getting bored as this activity was not in her interest at all.

"So what kind of dress are you making," Twilight asked taking a closer look getting in Rarity's light.
"A dress for winter now please stop bugging me so I can finish it." Rarity said pushing Twilight back some. Twilight stepped away and looked around seeing the room was a mess. She smiled and decided to help clean up for Rarity. She then started picking up stuff on the floor, putting them on shelves and folding the fabric, but Twilight didn't see that she put one of the sewing machines on a high shelf very poorly. The room got very quiet as Rarity was sewing on the last few gems as Twilight watched. Rarity picked the dress off the table as she examined it closely making sure the dress was perfect. Rarity huffed to see that one of the gem's stitch was loose she then picked up a knife to cut the stitch to fix it but right when she did the sewing machine on the high shelf fell straight to the floor causing a loud bang causing Twilight and Rarity to jump but the knife Rarity was holding went through the dress and cut her leg which was under it really deep.

"Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Rarity exclaimed dropping the dress holding the cut. Twilight tried to see what was wrong but Rarity was holding her leg close to her body out of view from Twilight.
"Rarity, are you ok what happened," Twilight asked trying to see what happen. Rarity turned to show the cut her blood dripping to the floor. Twilight's eyes went wide looking how much blood she was losing in a small amount of time.

"Stay here I'm going to go get a bandage," Twilight said running to get Rarity's First Aid kit leaving Rarity by herself. Rarity just watched as the blood dripped to the floor. Rarity was starting to get dizzy.
"T-Twilight hurry, I get faint at the sight of blood," Rarity said looking away from her leg. Twilight soon ran back with a bandage to wrap up her leg. Rarity winced at the pain as Twilight wrapped up her leg tightly with the bandage. Just at that moment Rarity fell to the floor light headed Twilight picked her up and gently put her down on the bed. After a few minutes, Rarity woke up to see Twilight trying to clean up the blood on the floor.

"Twilight, don't worry about that we need to go to the hospital so I can get this cut sewn up," Rarity said getting up off the bed.
"It's my fault Rarity, I hurt you, I'm going to help clean up the blood I caused," Twilight responded still wiping the blood up.

"Help me get the cut sewn up first Twilight," Rarity said taking the bloody rag away from Twilight who stood up looking at her.
"Can you walk on it," Twilight asked as Rarity stepped down on it whining and tucking it back up to her body shaking her head. Twilight then helped Rarity walk by putting most of her weight on Twilight's back. As they walked outside they noticed that the Pegasus ponies were moving in clouds for a storm.

"I thought they were going to do the storm tomorrow," Twilight said confused watching them fly around.
"No the storm was today tomorrow is going to be just wind," Rarity said watching them as well. Twilight started back walking with Rarity to the hospital.

"We might need to be quick about it then," Twilight said walking a little faster trying not to strain Rarity the best she can. They walked for a minute in silence all Rarity could worry about was how deep the cut was. Lost in thought Rarity didn't notice they walked right into the hospital and was greeted by Nurse Redheart who asked them what the problem was.
"Rarity had a little accident, she cut her leg open," Twilight said as Redheart walked around the counter taking a look at Rarity's leg.

"Follow me if you can and we shall get that looked at," Nurse Redheart said walking to the back as one mare from the waiting room watched them closely. As they got to a room Rarity was hoping that Nurse Redheart would numb her leg first before she started sewing up the cut
"Well Rarity let me wash my hooves first then I'll sew up that nasty cut for you," Redheart said walking to a sink as Rarity gulped waiting for her to numb her leg first. Redheart walked back to Rarity holding a needle.

"Rarity this shot will kill any infection that might be in the cut so you don't have to come back to get a check-up," Nurse Redheart said taking the bandage off sticking the shot close to her cut.
"W-will it numb it to," Rarity asked feeling the pain somewhat vanish.

"No it shouldn't, is your leg numb now," Redheart asked looking up at Rarity who shook her head. Redheart then took out a stitch kit and began to thread the needle.
"C-can you numb it first please," Rarity asked watching scared for the pain.

"I can't I'm sorry. It would counter the shot I just gave you, But don't worry it won't hurt that bad," Nurse Redheart said. She then started to stitch up the cut as every time the needle went through her skin it hurt more then she knew she could hurt. After a moment Redheart finished stitching the cut and started to wrap up her wound.
"There you go Rarity that should heal up nicely," Redheart said calling Twilight back to the room. Rarity rubbed her leg as the pain was starting to come back

"If you feel like the stitch is loose come back and I'll do it again," Redheart said washing her hooves again. Twilight walked back in looking at Rarity who was standing up by herself.
"You ready to go Rarity, " Twilight asked walking over to her. Rarity nodded blinking slowly. Redheart started to walk them out of the hospital but once they hit the waiting room the mare looked up at them and growled at Redheart which caused her to lower her ears. The two friends said their goodbyes as Nurse Redheart waved smiling but as they left Redheart's smile vanished. The mare started yelling at her. Twilight and Rarity started walking back to the boutique and saw that the clouds were in place and saw that the one Pegasus was yelling around the town that the storm was starting as he shot through the clouds right when the rain started to pour down on top of the only two mares on the street. They ran as quick as they could, trying their best not to lose each other in the darkness. Twilight and Rarity had to get somewhere dry but the only place that was close was SugarCube Corner. With hesitation, they went inside but it was dark and the place still had a hint of blood and sweets.

"Hold on I'm going to turn the lights on, " Twilight said walking through the dark building to the basement as Rarity waited in a seat near the door. Rarity did not know that her cut has reopened and was bleeding more than it was before. After a few minutes have passed she got up and started to walk around, but Rarity stopped dead in her steps as she heard a giggle coming from the kitchen. Rarity knew Twilight didn't go into the kitchen she went into the back room which was behind the checkout counter. She gulped and started to walk into the kitchen when she started to walk on something wet. When she looked down she saw a puddle of blood. Seeing the blood she backed away and followed the bloody hood prints with her eyes which were leading into the kitchen. Just as another giggle echoes through the building the lights flicker on causing Rarity to squint at the bright lights. Rarity looked up at them but when she looked down she noticed an old friend looking at her with the biggest smile on her face from the kitchen.

"P-pinkie" Rarity questioned looking at her long passed away friend who was clearly breathing staring at her with bloodshot eyes.
"Hey Rarity you don't look too good what happen to you," Pinkie asked stepping out of the kitchen into the light her voice sounded strained and demented.

"I just cut myself, I'll be better in a few days," Rarity said taking a step back watching Pinkie as her breathing picked up
"Better?" Pinkie asked with a chuckle in her tone.

"Y-Yea," Rarity responded rubbing her leg as pain shot through her. As she looked up she saw Pinkie was right in her face
"I'll make you think you're better," Pinkie said laughing darkly. Rarity turned and ran for the door but Pinkie tripped her making Rarity hit her head on the floor which caused her ears to ring

"W-What do you want from me," Rarity asked trying to crawl away but Pinkie had a hard grip on one of her hind leg.
"I want you to stop trying to forget me, I want you to remember me from the deepest memory and fall deep into your nightmare, A rare nightmare Rarity" Pinkie said pulling Rarity up by her ears

"L-let me go Pinkie, " Rarity said trying to hit her. Rarity then suddenly felt a sharp pain in her hind leg which caused her to yell out.
"Yes, that is the pain I wish to hear," Pinkie said ripping the knife out of Rarity's leg. Pinkie then put the knife into Rarity's cheek starting to cut. Rarity tried to pull away put Pinkie wasn't listening to reason as she slowly stuck the knife into Rarity's mouth to where her mouth was held open by it. The sharp edge of the knife was put so was on her lower jaw. Rarity was scared out of her mind when Pinkie started to pick up rarity's head slowly. Pinkie then kicked the back of Rarity's head making her chin smash down on the floor making the knife jam between her teeth into her jaw causing some of her teeth to crack. Rarity tried to yell but the knife was preventing her from making any noise. Pinkie laughed as she grabbed the handle of the knife and pulled up on it which made Rarity's head go up with it

"Well, I think our time here is over so," Pinkie said gripping the knife hard as she pulled it out of Rarity's mouth it cutting her more also pulling a few teeth out with it causing Rarity to scream out in pain. Rarity Cried as she watched the blood run down her body. Before Rarity could do anything Pinkie grabbed Rarity's head once more than twisting her head to the side sharply causing her neck to snap. Rarity fell silent as Pinkie let go of her body. Pinkie only smiled as she watched the blood pool under Rarity.

"Rarity, Rarity are you ok," Nurse Redheart said Trying to wake her up. Rarity opened her eyes and jumped up grabbing her mouth looking around only seeing Nurse Redheart and Twilight looking at her very worried.
"W-What happen to me," Rarity said looking at the kitchen as Twilight blocked her view.

"When I turned on the lights on I heard you scream, so I ran back up to see you slice open your leg with a knife, You just kept repeating Pinkie told me to do it," Twilight said as Nurse Redheart chimed in
"I ran here as quick as I could when Twilight called me, I stitched you back up as good as I could," Nurse Redheart said taking out a shot to give Rarity

"So, it all was a dream," Rarity said rubbing her eyes. Redheart then gave Rarity another shot which made her whole body feel warm in a matter of seconds.
"Take her home she has to be in bed before this medicine takes full effect," Redheart said as Twilight quickly got Rarity up nodding. Twilight quickly walked off to get Rarity in bed as Nurse Redheart watched them for a while. As the two friends got out of sight of her she stepped out into the rain and looked up into the sky.

"There it's done, now leave me alone!" Nurse Redheart yelled looking up at the sky rain pouring down on her when suddenly a magic bolt shot through her back and out her chest. Redheart gasped slowly putting a shaking hoof over her wound then slowly lifting up her hoof to where she could confirm that she was shot. A tear fell from her eye looking up once more before her body turned to ash and blew away with the wind to never be seen again.
"Like the nurse said you must stay in bed," Twilight said looking at Rarity who was looking tired and very sick. Rarity tried to speak but all she did was cough up blood as it started to run out of her nose.

"Rarity!" Twilight yelled helping Rarity sit up as blood started to pour out of her mouth. Twilight could feel Rarity was getting cold and was starting to shake.
"I'm going to go get help Rarity," Twilight said rushing to get off the bed but Rarity weakly stopped her.

"No, P-please stay with me," Rarity said knowing she wasn't going to make it even when the doctor got there. Twilight's eyes filled with tears as she held Rarity close her back being stained from her blood. The two friends held each other close for about 2 minutes before Rarity's grip around Twilight loosened going limp. Twilight looked into Rarity's eyes which were dull and lifeless. She slowly put Rarity back down onto her bed as tears fell from her eyes onto her lifeless body.

"Goodbye Rarity, we will miss you," Twilight said getting off the bed to go get help crying the whole way.

Flutter In The Wind

After hearing the news about Rarity Fluttershy rushed home. Unfortunately, she missed the funeral but she did see Twilight sitting next to Rarity's grave. Fluttershy walked to Twilight sitting next to her.

"I'm sorry Twilight if I was here this wouldn't have happened," Fluttershy said as she wrapped a wing around Twilight pulling her closer.
"Fluttershy, it was my fault I should've run to get help," Twilight said looking at the gravestone.

"You did what you could Twilight, that's what makes it count," Fluttershy responded following Twilight's gaze.
"I watched her die in my hooves," Twilight said now looking at her hooves imagining rarity's lifeless body still in them. Fluttershy pushed Twilight's hooves to the ground

"Come on, let's go get some breakfast to get your mind off this," Fluttershy said helping Twilight up off the ground who smiled slightly. Fluttershy smiled back at Twilight then she proceeded to tell Twilight about her trip as they walked to a dinner. They took a seat and ate all they could and it did help Twilight. She smiled like there was nothing wrong. Twilight's smile soon faded as she saw an apple pie sitting on the counter Fluttershy saw this and blocked her view of the pie.
"Twilight you need to stop this, Stop thinking about them it's going to destroy you," Fluttershy said pushing a plate of fries to her. Twilight looked down at them and ate a few of them and smiled. Fluttershy smiled back at Twilight as she ate with her. They ate for a good thirty minutes before paying and leaving. Twilight was acting better than before but it would take a few days before she was back to her good old self Fluttershy thought to herself. The two friends walked to the park and spent an hour there. Twilight watched Fluttershy feed and pet the ducks and birds. All Twilight could think about was who was gonna be next and what would she do if it was her who was left alone but she couldn't let that distract her. She was going to stop whoever was doing this. Twilight walked over to Fluttershy noticing it was getting late.

"Hey Fluttershy it's getting late we should be getting back," Twilight said tapping Fluttershy's back.
"Awe ok," Fluttershy said standing up a bit disappointed.

"I'm sorry, but it's getting dark and it's a good walk back to town," Twilight said looking at the sky watching the moon rise. Fluttershy agreed and started to walk back with Twilight. As they reached Twilight's castle Fluttershy hugged Twilight goodnight and went on her way home. Fluttershy decided to stop by Rainbow Dash's house just to see how it looked since she was gone for a while. She flew up and opened the door which caused her eyes to water up as she walked inside. Rainbow's house was dark but there was still enough light to see around. She walked into Rainbow's bedroom and it was a mess with her bloody pj's still laying on top of the bed, she could still smell rainbow dash inside the house. A tear dropped from Fluttershy's eye as she picked up one of Rainbow's feathers.
Fluttershy jumped to hear two mares talking. They were inside Rainbow's house. Scared Fluttershy panicked trying to fly out but her wings locked up tightly to her sides out of fear. Fluttershy quickly thought and hid under the bed right as the mares walked into the bedroom. Fluttershy could see that their legs were covered in holes and their voices sounded like Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

"I told you I saw someone fly up here" The pony who sounded like pinkie pie said walking around the room.
"She won't make it easy for you" The pony whose voice took the tone of Rainbow Dash said.

"Why do you say that," the fake pinkie said stepping to the fake rainbow dash.
"you got up and left while she was speaking. you're lucky I'm here to or she would kill you," The fake Rainbow Dash said pushing the fake Pinkie.
Solid footsteps could be heard as the two in the room turn toward the doorway and a very familiar voice echoes through the room

"Why the hell are you two up here and not hidden," Queen Chrysalis spoke walking to them.
"well uh, I saw somepony fly up here and I had to check it out." Pinkie pie said bowing to the queen who then kicked her to the floor knocking her necklace off it sliding to the bed where Fluttershy is hiding.

"Why are you two talking in the voices. I told you to only use them when we are working" The queen yelled Fluttershy saw that they were indeed changelings. She tried her best to keep quiet as she shook from fear.
"I'm sorry my queen we didn't think about it" The Changeling posing as Rainbow Dash apologized. The Changeling posing as Pinkie pie looked to get her necklace back but stopped to see Fluttershy under the bed.

"She is here, under the bed" Pinkie pie yelled as Rainbow Dash grabbed Fluttershy and pulled her out into the open
"What do you think you are doing miss shy," Rainbow Dash asked as she laughed. Fluttershy cowered and covered her face as Queen Chrysalis walked over to her towering over Fluttershy as a smile stretched across her royal face.

"You do know we can't let you leave right," The queen said with a chuckle.
"Please, please I won't tell anyone I, I promise " Fluttershy pleaded but all the queen did was push Fluttershy's head to the floor as tears rolled off her cheeks.

"Why should I trust you, what is keeping me from killing you right now," The Queen said kicking Fluttershy in the gut making her roll onto her side. Fluttershy curled up covering her stomach as the changelings laughed. Chrysalis turned to quiet them and Fluttershy took the moment to stab the queen in the side with the knife Rainbow used to kill Pinkie. The queen fell back and the changelings tried to catch her. Fluttershy jumped out the window and tried to open her wings to slow herself but her wings were still firmly locked to her sides from fear. Fluttershy fell fast and smashed into the ground. With the force when she hit it caused her to bounce and slide a few feet. Fluttershy was hurt badly as she looked up to see two ponies helping another but she knew that it was the changelings helping Queen Chrysalis. Fluttershy's eyes fluttered closed as one of Rainbow Dash's feathers slowly fell and landed on Fluttershy's hind leg which looked broken. When Fluttershy woke up she was in a dark place and she couldn't see anything but a small light in the distance. She then began to walk to the light but after a few steps, she stopped to see a cyan colored feather fall in front of her. She looked up to see her friend Rainbow Dash land and look at her with the biggest smile she hasn't seen in so long. Fluttershy was stunned to see her and could only watch as Rainbow smiled at her.

"It's been too long Fluttershy," Rainbow said still smiling
"I, how, where am I," Fluttershy asked and took a few steps back and bumped into someone when she turned around to see it was Pinkie Pie staring back at her.

"You are in the void between our world and the next" Rainbow replied putting a hoof on Fluttershy's back.
"I'm dead!?" Fluttershy exclaimed spinning around looking back at Rainbow.

"Not really but close," Rarity said walking up behind Rainbow as Pinkie hopped around
"I don't understand what is going on," Fluttershy said looking between her friends.

"There isn't much to get Fluttershy, you're on your last leg, your deathbed, you get me," Applejack said as she walked up behind Fluttershy.
"You are walking to your death basically, the closer to the light you are the closer to death you will be but if you stay away from the light the more your body suffers. Rainbow said standing with Pinkie.

"then how do I get back," Fluttershy asked stepping to Rainbow who only looked toward the light.
"The only way to go Fluttershy, to the light" Rarity said vanishing along with Applejack.

"If you're lucky you won't see us for a long time," Rainbow said vanishing. Fluttershy looked at Pinkie who hopped over to her and hugged her tightly before vanishing. Fluttershy took a deep breath and started to walk toward the light again as she got close she stopped and looked away. She reached out but couldn't find herself to go inside until she felt somepony grab her hoof. When she looked it was a purple hoof pulling her into the light. Fluttershy closed her eyes tightly as she went inside. The light was warm but the pain returned to her body causing her to cry out before being engulfed in the light. As Fluttershy opened her eyes she found herself inside the hospital. She could only hear a slight beeping noise. Fluttershy rolled her head to see Twilight asleep holding her hoof. She tried to speak but there was a breathing tube down her throat. She sat up slowly as the pain hit her hard. She then began to pull the tube out which made her gag. As she pulled it out she tossed it off her.

"T-Twilight," Fluttershy said shaking Twilight slightly. Twilight looked up her eyes shot open fully to see that her friend was ok. They both smiled and hugged each even though Fluttershy was hurting really but she didn't care she was happy to see Twilight.
"I'm so glad your ok Fluttershy" Twilight said letting go of her.

"How long was I out," Fluttershy asked rubbing her chest.
"twelve hours, you were barely breathing, I was so scared," Twilight said rubbing her eyes. Fluttershy looked around then back at Twilight then she tried to take out her I.V needle but Twilight stopped her.

"You need to stay in here for a day or two so they can watch over you and make sure you are well and alive," Twilight said letting go of Fluttershy.
"I-I need to check on my bunny Twilight, he must be worried sick," Fluttershy said wanting to leave.

"I'll watch over angle till you get out, it's only a day Fluttershy you can make it. Twilight said getting her things together to leave.
"Wait who brought me here," Fluttershy asked watching Twilight

"I did I got worried and I wanted to check on you. I'm glad I did too because I found you laying on the ground blood running out your mouth." Twilight said walking closer to the door. Fluttershy nodded closing her eyes. Twilight left and closed the door behind her a smile shot across her face as she threw away a syringe. Her smile faded as a pony fell into step beside her.
"Is it done?" The pony asked trying not to draw attention to them.

"Yes it is injected and the real Twilight has no idea she is here," Twilight said her smile returning.
"Did you take her I.V out first?" The pony asked and looked around as they came to a stop

"shit, I thought you said leave it in," Twilight said lowering her ears.
"you STUPID, the queen will not be happy with this," the pony said warping away. The fake Twilight sighed and left knowing the plan was a fail and Fluttershy will live to see tomorrow. The real Twilight is oblivious to what was really going to happen. Twilight was smiling having a good time back at the lake waiting for Fluttershy. Twilight looked across the lake she noticed a pony who looked just like her. She decided to get up and follow her but keeping a good distance away so she could stay out of sight. Twilight followed her double for a long time because it was starting to get dark again and it was getting hard to see. The Fake Twilight Turned right when the Real Twilight hid behind a tree to stay out of sight.

"How long are you gonna follow me," The fake Twilight asked in Twilight's voice.
"I want to know who you are and why you look at me," The real Twilight asked stepping from behind the tree out into the open. A green light lights up the area blinding Twilight for a short time. Twilight rubbed her eyes noticing it was a Changeling posing as her.

"Why were you posing as me," Twilight asked her horn glowing ready to attack.
"Now now Twilight I'm not your enemy I was trying to help" the changeling spoke taking small steps toward twilight.

"If you're trying to help then tell me who is killing my friends," Twilight said firing a bolt of magic at the ground near the changeling making him stop.
"You still haven't found out miss Sparkle, have you not been listening to your friends at all," the changeling said brushing the dirt off his legs.

"What do you mean," Twilight asked her ears falling flat as she was now confused.
"I do believe it was Applejack who said she saw Pinkie and Rainbow in her so-called nightmares," the changeling said stepping to Twilight.

"So it's nightmare moon, she is back," Twilight said as the changeling got in her face.
"let's go back to where Rainbow so-called murdered Pinkie, the knife, was it really used to kill Pinkie" The changeling spoke tapping Twilight's chin.

"But it was the knife that killed Pinkie," Twilight said as the changeling pulled her horn down to meet his eyes.
"Was it really the knife, Twilight, not something else, remember what you saw, I know you could feel the heat from the holes" the changeling spoke.

"I don't know," Twilight said as the changeling made her sit in the dirt.
"The holes were from magic Twilight magic shots just like the one you shot at me" The changeling yelled getting in her face.

"So it is Princess Luna, she is wanting to get rid of us so she can take over," Twilight said thinking she was understanding what the changeling was talking about.
"NO! It's the Queen for fuck sake," the changeling said slapping Twilight in her face making her fall on her back.

"There is no way I would have known if it was," Twilight said standing back up to stand her ground to the Changeling.
"Oh really then why are your friends dead Twilight," the changeling spoke getting in Twilight's face once more.

"I will not let the same thing happen to Fluttershy she is the only one I have left," Twilight said pushing the changeling back
"I'm not trying to fight with you, but why is she in the hospital right now," the changeling said looking around making sure they were still alone.

"What is she ok, what happened to her," Twilight said but all the changeling did was chuckle and start walking away. he stopped and turned back to her.
"One more thing, I killed Pinkie Pie," the changeling said as he winked and walked off. Twilight watched him then took off running to the hospital. Twilight shot through the doors scaring the nurse behind the desk.

"Fluttershy is in room 326," the nurse said pointing to the elevator already knowing what she was there for. Twilight ran by to Fluttershy's room. As Twilight opened the door she saw that Fluttershy was not in the room but the window was open. She then ran to it and looked out of it and saw Fluttershy Limping away as fast as she could. Twilight teleported down to stop her.
"Fluttershy why are you running away," Twilight asked holding Fluttershy still.

"The changelings, they are coming for me," Fluttershy said shaking.
"I know we need to get somewhere to hide out," Twilight said helping Fluttershy.

"Oh my cottage we can go there they won't fund us Twilight," Fluttershy said as she started to walk as fast as she could. Twilight agreed and started to follow her to her cottage it took a few long minutes as it was now midnight. As they reached the home they opened the door and Fluttershy was the first one to go inside as Twilight followed. Twilight turned on the light and closed the door but as Twilight turned she saw a changeling standing there. It was the same one who told her what was happening and who was killing her friends.
"what are you doing here," Twilight asked stepping beside Fluttershy. The changeling looked up and they could see that one of his eyes have been pulled out. Fluttershy covered her eyes at the sight as she whimpered scared.

"I'm sorry but I have nothing left to lose," the changeling said with a strained tone as his horn started to glow.
"what do you mean," Twilight said stepping closer

"I, I shouldn't have kept her alive," the changeling said looking at Fluttershy as she looked back up at him.
"Don't say that," Twilight said stepping to him. The changeling closed his eye tightly as a tear fell from said eye. his horn started to glow brighter. Twilight watched not knowing what he is doing until a magic bolt shot out of the changeling's horn striking Fluttershy in the chest making her smash into the wall sliding to the floor.

"Fluttershy!" Twilight yelled as she picked up her friend feeling the hole in her chest knowing it has struck her heart killing her instantly. Twilight felt a hoof on her back as she turned she saw it was queen chrysalis smiling down at her.
"well look at this, a wonderful two for one deal," The queen said as she used her magic to pick up Twilight.

"what do you want," Twilight asked with a strained tone as the magic around her got tighter.
"You spilled my blood, you owe me death miss Sparkle," the Queen said dropping her to the floor.

"Then why kill my friends and not me, " Twilight said standing back up facing the Queen
"well, I decided to kill all of you one by one," The Queen said towering over Twilight.

"Why are you killing us what did we do," Twilight asked looking up at her.
"I want to send a message to the princess I don't feel like they take me as a treat anymore," The Queen said pulling the changeling beside her in front of her by his horn.

"Then tell me the message, and I will tell it to her," Twilight said watching what she was doing very closely.
"Well Twilight it isn't that kind of message and if I'm not mistaken this little colt told you everything did he not miss Sparkle," The Queen said turning the changeling's head in a painful way.

"N-no he didn't tell me anything," Twilight said trying to help the little changeling.
"oh he didn't then I'll kill him because I told him to tell you, it was a matter of time you found out, I thought it would be sooner but, goodbye little one" the Queen said as she pulled hard on the changelings head in a sharp direction then a hard snap echoes through the house and the changeling drops to the floor dead. Twilight watched as the sound of the changeling's neck stuck in her ears.

"Well Twilight I think you over lived this moment," Chrysalis said picking up Twilight by her neck. Twilight kicked and struggled as she was lifted up off the ground by the queen's magic. Twilight did her best to get free but it wasn't enough. she was able to see the queen tilt her head down some and Twilight thought she was gonna let her go until she felt something shoot through her hind leg it felt like someone stabbed her. As she looked she saw there was a hole in her leg clean through before Twilight could scream the queen shot a magic bolt straight into Twilight's neck. Twilight's eyes went wide as she tried to clasp her neck but all she could do was gasp for air and gargle on her blood. Queen Chrysalis only smiled as she let her go. Twilight's vision started to fade and The Queen kicked Twilight in her stomach making blood spill out of her neck. Twilight's eyes soon closed and her gasping sounds stopped. The Queen smiled and left as Twilight's life faded away.

Twilight jumped awake holding her neck screaming. Twilight was breathing hard as she looked around and she saw that she was in her room and her friends staring back at her, tears filled her eyes as she started to cry softly into her hooves.

"Hey, hey Twilight what is wrong," Rainbow asked jumping up on the bed moving Twilight's hooves.
"I had the worst nightmare ever Rainbow," Twilight said rubbing her eyes.

"Twilight we all have nightmares don't worry," Rarity said with a smile.
"yea, was yours anything like mine, there was an apple god in it," Applejack said stepping closer.

"no way mine was worse, I, I came in second place, in a race" rainbow said holding her ears.
"Oh please, mine was worse than that. I just got done with the most fabulous dress and it, it, falls in the mud," Rarity spoke sitting on the bed.

The six Friends that night talked about the nightmares they had, but Twilight's nightmare will haunt her for the rest of her life. Was it a dream or is everything still real and everyone is dead and inside the afterlife.
