Echoes

“Twilight Twilight Twilight!” shouted the pink pony with excitement. “I can’t believe you're here already, we should hold a party!” The candyfloss mare was now bouncing excitedly around Twilight. “Calm down Pinkie, I’m only back from Canterlot. I just want to get to the library and sleep.”

Twilight stepped off the train platform and started heading towards her home, the sun’s blistering heat only making her exhaustion worse.

“Oh that’s no problem, we can hold a welcome back party tomorrow!” said Pinkie, jumping enthusiastically beside her tired friend.

“Fine Pinkie, lets do it tomorrow, that sounds great.” groaned Twilight, walking past Sugarcube Corner.

“Hey Pinks, leave her be. Ah’m sure the old girl is real tired now” said an orange earth pony walking towards them with four other mares. “Sorry we’re late! Rarity over here just had to look perfect.” sighed Applejack while staring at a purple curly haired unicorn.

“Well one must always look beautiful for their friends” said Rarity, looking distastefully at Applejack’s muddy coat from working the farm all day long. Applejack was about to argue back until a yellow pegasus interrupted them.

“Um, girls, shouldn’t we be welcoming Twilight back? I mean if that’s okay with you.”

“You’re right Fluttershy, how was Canterlot Twilight?” asked a cyan pony just flying a little above the others.

“Oh it was alright nothing too fancy. I was just catching up with Princess Celestia. I even got to speak with Princess Luna a few times.” said Twilight, lost in the memories of her experience.

“Oh that sounds simply divine darling, do tell us all about it once you’ve rested up.” said Rarity now walking beside Twilight.

“I’m gonna get started on your party straight away in the morning, I can’t wait!” giggled Pinkie Pie, now giddy with excitement.

“That sounds great Pinkie but girls, I’m real tired and need to sleep so can we please leave all this till tomorrow?”

“Not a problem sugarcube now go get some rest, we will see ya tomorrow at the big party.” said Applejack, feeling sympathy for her.

“Alrighty! I’ll see everypony at mine tomorrow! Be there by seven o'clock!” shouted the pink pony, watching everypony walk away towards their homes. The party pony started her signature bounce towards her home and began thinking about how great tomorrow was going to be.

‘Ohhhhh tomorrow is going to be fantastic! We’re gonna have punch, dance the night away and play my favorite game pin the tail on the pony! The girls are gonna have so much fun , I’m gonna make this my best party yet!’

The earth pony, lost in her thoughts, arrived at her home and went inside. She quickly ran to her room, which had a lot of party decorations stored inside. Banners, streamers and balloons could be found all over the room. Her walls were a bright pink, just like her coat, and her bed in the corner was made of wood.

She spotted her pet alligator sitting in the middle of room and quickly ran over to pick him up. “Oh Gummy we’re gonna have a party tomorrow! With lots of cake, games and most importantly our friends!” shouted Pinkie Pie, now swinging the green alligator around in her hooves.

She walked over to her bedroom window and looked out too see Princess Luna’s moon high in the sky. “We really should be getting to bed. After all, we have a party to set up in the morning!” She jumped into her bed, snuggling into the sky blue blankets and placing Gummy right next to her. “Nighty night Gummy”, and with that she drifted off to sleep.

“Where am I?” Pinkie looked around her and all she could see was black clouds and darkness. The grass underneath her hooves turned a horrible yellow, the flowers all withered and dead. “Oh you know very well where you are..” said a voice, but Pinkie couldn’t see who had spoken.

“Who’s there!?” shouted the earth pony, fear beginning to overcome her. “Who are you!? Twilight? Fluttershy? Girls is that you?”

“You don’t remember me... How could you forget me? After all we’re more alike than you think!” hissed the voice.

Pinkie woke up in her bed, sweat dripping off her forehead. “What?... What was I dreaming about?” She quickly got out of her bed and walked to the window to see the sun had already risen above Ponyville. “Oh yes the party!” She ran downstairs to get started on the decorations for the party, the dream out of her mind already.

She started hanging up streamers, banners, and balloons. She had just put the cake in the oven when the door suddenly knocked. ‘Huh? There shouldn’t be anyone here till seven, it’s only five thirty’. She ran to the door and swung it open to reveal a cyan pegasus standing there.

“Dashie, what are you doing here? The party doesn’t start yet?” said Pinkie, surprised.

“I know, but I figured you could use a little wing power to help get the decorations up” said Rainbow, walking past Pinkie to get a better look at the place. “Oh well it appears you already have everything up Pinkie!” Rainbow was taken back at all the decorations.

“Oh well, you could hang the banners outside and around the house. I obviously can’t reach up there!” said Pinkie, now poking her head outside and looking at the sky.

“Not a problem, I will get right on that!” Rainbow grabbed the banners and flew outside to start putting them up.

While Rainbow was busy fixing the banners outside, Pinkie took the cake out of the oven. It was nicely baked, she started decorating it with frosting and candles. She put the frosting on it to spell ‘Welcome home Twilight!’. Some time passed and eventually seven o’clock rolled around.

Rainbow Dash was sitting slumped in a chair inside taking a well deserved break from putting the banners until the door suddenly knocked. “Oh! The other guests have arrived!” Pinkie was now jumping with excitement, and pulled the door open to be greeted by four other ponies.

“Hey girls, come on in! Help yourself to anything you want!” The four ponies walked in each greeting the pink pony as they walked past her. She started up the music and passed out all the food. The party was beginning to look really good; just like a traditional Pinkie Pie party.

“Is everypony enjoying themselves?” shouted Pinkie Pie over the music, everypony yelled back in unison “Of course we are, your parties are always the best!” Pinkie went to go join in on the dancing, she jumped in between Twilight and Rarity and started to dance.

Hurt them.... Make them bleed...

“What?” said Pinkie in surprise. Everypony stopped dancing and looked at Pinkie. “Sorry, what darling?” Rarity asked with curiosity in her voice.

“Huh? I could've sworn some pony was talking to me.”

“No Pinkie, no pony said anything” murmured Twilight, now staring at her friend with concern.

“Well its kinda a good thing we stopped, its getting late and we really should be going!” Twilight stared at the clock. It now read twelve thirty.

“Oh wow, is that really the time? I must be going, a girl does need her beauty sleep!” gasped Rarity, now heading for the exit.

“Oh alright then, I guess I will see you all tomorrow, right?” said Pinkie Pie, a little disappointed that the party was ending. They all started heading towards the exit and exchanged goodbyes. Twilight thanking her for a long time for such an amazing party in her honor, and by the time the goodbyes were exchanged it was one o’clock.

Pinkie Pie closed the door and went straight to her room, leaving the clean up till tomorrow. Exhaustion now taking over, her body she climb into bed preparing to drift off to her dreams.
She hugged her pet alligator and laid her head down on her pillow ,just waiting on sleep to take her.

She opened her eyes to find nothing but an altered version of Ponyville, her family and friends lying bleeding in the flames of their homes. Now destroyed and wrecked. “What happened! What’s going on!?” shouted the pink pony, panic overtaking her.

“What do mean what happened? You did this, do you not remember?” whispered a familiar voice.

“I didn’t do this and who are you!?”

“Oh you know me better than anyone else does, how can you not remember me?” whispered the voice.

“Please just tell me who you are...” Fear started to enter her heart.

“FOOL, I AM YOU!” screeched the voice, echoing all over Ponyville. “I am you and everything to do with you. I am your true self. I am Pinkamena Diane Pie.”

An old friend

In the smoke and ruins a lone figure stood there staring at the pink earth pony, her eyes full of hatred and pain. She walked out of smoke and towards the fear-engulfed equine. She stopped in front of her and Pinkie jumped back. “Oh what’s the problem? Don’t tell me you’re afraid of yourself.”

Pinkie Pie tripped on a rock laying on the floor and fell on her flank. She turned to stare at her almost-doppelganger. “You can’t be me... You do look like me, but you can’t be me. I’m me!” whimpered Pinkie Pie.

“Oh? Why can’t I be you? Can you not see the color of my coat and mane? The only real difference is that my mane is straight. Yours is a frizzed up mess!” laughed Pinkamena, now standing over her trembling other half.

“If you are me... Where did you come from?” murmured Pinkie Pie.

“Where did I come from? You really don’t remember me... Well let me explain it then. I am the pain, misery and suffering you endured while you were a little filly. All those horrible years working the rock farm, you said nothing. You just pushed your depression and hatred deep down inside you and thus I was born.”

Pinkie Pie just stared at her in disbelief, not wanting to believe her. “No that can’t be true! You’re lying!” screamed Pinkie Pie, now getting off the floor and pointing her right hoof at her counterpart.

“You don’t believe me!? Fine then, let me show you.” growled Pinkamena, pushing her face towards Pinkie Pies.

Pinkie Pie looked around her and the ruins of Ponyville started to disappear around her. The sky swirling, the ground spinning and in the place of Ponyville a few wooden houses started to manifest in front of them. The ground was barren, but covered in rocks and some machinery. “Where are we?” asked Pinkie Pie in confusion.

“You don’t remember our first home? Welcome to the rock farm.” muttered Pinkamena menacingly.

Pinkie Pie stood there taking in her new surroundings, stunned at how familiar it all looked. A little pink filly trotted past them pulling a carriage of rocks, looking depressed and hurt. “Is that... me?” stuttered Pinkie Pie.

“You mean us. Yes that is us, look at how depressed and beaten we were. Our parents never loved us, they hated us. Why else would they put us through all this torment? The years of depression, loneliness and fear.”

Pinkie Pie fell to floor and dug her head in between her hooves, covering her head. “No! That can’t be right! My parents loved me, they would never hurt me... Would they?” questioned Pinkie, lifting her head and staring with tears in her eyes at Pinkamena.

“They subjected us to years of torture and torment! Can’t you see that?”

Pinkie just wanted to run far away from this place and never look back, but curiosity and fear kept her there. “You created me, I was the only friend you had. But one day you suddenly abandoned me, left me to rot in the ruins of your mind. Just like what our parents did to us. WAS I NOTHING TO YOU!?” screamed Pinkamena manically into the face of her counterpart.

Pinkie Pie lay there with tears in her eyes. She stared into her replica and could see vengeance and hatred in her eyes. “I’m so sorry...” cried Pinkie Pie, grabbing Pinkamena and embracing her in her hooves. “I didn’t mean to forget about you, I’m so sorry! I would never want to hurt anyone I swear!” wailed Pinkie, now feeling guilty for her past mistakes.

Pinkamena returned the hugged and whispered in Pinkie’s ear. “I missed us being together... You have no idea how lonely I was without you, but it’s too late. You hurt me and now must face the consequences.” Pinkamena pushed her too the ground and stood over her. “Now get out of here!”

Pinkie Pie awoke to find herself drenched in sweat and her pillow soaked. Gasping for air she jumped out of her bed, her head swimming with confusion. ‘What... What just happened? It was all dream. No, it felt so real... That’s the second time now.’ She rushed downstairs and saw the remains of last night’s party.

‘The cleanup can wait, I need to see Twilight.’

She ran out her door, not caring about how she looked. She ran as fast as she ever had to Twilight's library determined that Twilight would have a logical reason for her dreams. She didn’t stop for anypony, maneuvering through the busy crowd, trying not to knock anypony over.

She soon made it to her friend’s house, and knocked on the door several times in rapid succession. “Twilight! Are you in, oh please be in!” whimpered Pinkie Pie. The wooden door swung open to reveal a confused and concerned purple unicorn.

“What’s the problem Pinkie? Are you alright?” asked Twilight worryingly.

Pinkie walked inside the tree library and sat down on one of Twilight’s wooden stools. “Oh it’s terrible Twilight!” gasped Pinkie, now trying to recover from the long run.

“Alright Pinkie, just relax and explain what’s happened. I’m sure we will be able to fix it.” said Twilight, concerned by her behaviour. Although she was odd, she never usually got this worked up.

Pinkie didn’t notice, too caught up in the memories of her dreams. “Twilight, I just had the worst nightmare!”

Twilight put her hoof to her face. “A nightmare... really Pinkie, that’s the big problem?” groaned Twilight.

“No Twilight, you don’t understand.”

Pinkie began to explain her dream and how it felt so real. Twilight sat there patiently for her friend to finish before giving her professional opinion on it. It took around an hour for the earth pony to fully explain everything to Twilight, by the time she finished Twilight was beginning to become very interested in it.

“So you’re telling me there was two of you in your dream. But the other one called herself Pinkamena Diane Pie? Pinkie, it honestly just sounds like you had a bad dream, but if its bothering you that much I can use a spell on you so you won't dream for a full week.” suggested the unicorn.

“Is that all you can do Twilight? I guess if that’s all I might as well take it.” murmured Pinkie Pie, a little disappointed.

“Alrighty then. Please stand in the middle of room so I can perform the spell.” said Twilight pointing her hood to the middle of the room. Pinkie walked to the centre of the room and stood perfectly still.

The unicorn’s horn lit up and a bright purple aura appeared around Pinkie. In a few short seconds the spell was finished. “Is that it done?” asked Pinkie.

“Yep, it’s not that complicated of a spell to do.” said Twilight, beaming with a little pride that she managed to do it.

Pinkie Pie thanked Twilight and left to get on with the rest of her day. She started baking a few cakes, and visited a few friends until the night came. She tried forget about her nightmare. The night eventually rolled around again and the pink earth pony started to get tired.

She walked into her home and upstairs to her bedroom. She had spent most of the day baking cakes so she was rather exhausted. She crawled into her bed a little afraid of what was going to happen once she dozed off. She laid there for a few hours afraid to sleep but eventually she couldn’t keep her eyes open.

“Welcome back... It’s great to see you again” whispered a voice, sending chills down her spine.

Control

Pinkie Pie was standing in a room full of light. The room was completely empty, and stretched from horizon to horizon. It looked endless, like she could keep running and never get to the end of the room.

Pinkie Pie spun around to see exactly what she didn’t want to. Her doppelganger stood there smiling widely and staring at her with amusement. “NO! What are you doing here!?” screamed Pinkie Pie.

“Hahaha... Did you really think I would disappear so easily? I’m not a dream, I’m a part of you.” giggled Pinkamena.

“That’s not true! No part of me would ever try to hurt anyone!” shouted Pinkie Pie, almost shaking in fury.

“Ohhh so the page has turned, what happened to the Pinkie that was all hugs and apologies?” mocked Pinkamena.

“Just stay away from me!” Pinkie was breaking down. “I don’t want to hear this!” sobbed Pinkie, using her hooves to cover her ears.

“That’s because you know I’m correct, you just refuse to accept like the ignorant child you are.” spat Pinkamena.

Pinkie walked closer to her counterpart and stopped in her face. “Just what do you want with me?” muttered Pinkie, giving Pinkamena an evil stare.

“Getting guts now are we? You’ll learn what I want soon, but not just yet.” whispered Pinkamena.

“Tell me!” shouted Pinkie nearly jumping at her.

“I will tell you one thing... look out for your friends...” murmured Pinkamena, smiling a little.

“What? NO! Don’t you dare hurt them!”

The room disappeared and Pinkie Pie started to fall blindly into the light below. She looked up to see Pinkamena standing on a single platform floating in the air, looking at her fall and grinning.
She awoke in her bed shaking and sweating yet again. ‘I’m awake... when will this end?’

She jumped out of bed trying to get her thoughts straight. Pinkamena’s last words were still fresh in her mind. ‘Do I tell them, would they believe me? I don’t know what to do! I have to help them, but how? I guess I should start by cleaning up, just keep calm for now, that’s the best I can do.’

She walked downstairs to start cleaning, she put away the banners,balloons,streamers and cleaned the dishes. She left out food for Gummy and decided to go out for fresh air, to clear her head. She trotted outside to see the sun beaming in the sky and all the other ponies enjoying the nice day.

She was about to canter off again until somepony stopped her. “Pinkie is that you?” said the voice. She turned around to see a white pony with a purple mane standing there with a worried expression on her face. “Pinkie it is you, are you alright? You don’t look so well...” asked Rarity, staring with concern at Pinkies sleep deprived eyes.

“Oh Rarity... Yeah I’m alright, just some things on my mind” squeaked Pinkie, doing her signature bounce and trying not to worry her friend. Rarity kept staring at her with great concern, and she grabbed Pinkies hoof and started pulling her into the crowd.

“Whoa! What are you doing Rarity?” said Pinkie nearly tripping over.

“We are going to the spa, no objections. You look like you could do with a nice relaxing time and the spa is just the place!” said Rarity, smiling and letting go of Pinkie’s hoof. Pinkie was about to protest, but Rarity simply waved her hoof in the air. “No buts. You’re coming, trust me, it will relax you.”

“Fine” groaned Pinkie.

‘You’re really going to take that? I wouldn’t...’

Pinkie shook her head to dismiss the thought that entered her head. She dragged her hooves to the spa with Rarity walking gracefully in a ladylike manner beside her. On their way Rarity talked about topics Pinkie didn’t care about. Stuff like fashion, weather and different beauty treatments.

Pinkie just nodded and threw the occasional ‘okay’ and ‘oh really?’ in there to make Rarity believe she was really listening to her. It didn’t take long for them to get to the spa, and Rarity held the door open for Pinkie as she walked inside, trying her best to look a little excited.

The lobby was a bright yellow with a counter in in the middle of the room. Chairs were all lined up against the wall on the left and right side of the room. Rarity walked up to the counter and pressed the bell waiting there while Pinkie took a seat. “Ah, madam Rarity, what can we do for you today? The usual?” asked a voice from behind the counter.

“Oh Lotus it’s great to see you! Yes, we’ll have the usual.” stated Rarity, pointing a hoof to Pinkie.

“Oh you brought somebody, is it madam Fluttershy?” asked Lotus, peeking at her past Rarity to get a better look. “No. Today I have Pinkie with me. She is feeling awfully down so I want you to make this special for her.” smiled Rarity.

“Of course madam, please just lead yourselves in while we get everything prepared.” Lotus ran off to get everything ready for them. They trotted into the changing room and grabbed a towel. Cantering down the small hallway, they reached the hot tub room, in which Lotus was waiting.

“There you go madam, the water should be nice and warm.” said Lotus.

“Thank you darling!” smiled Rarity, watching Lotus leave the room to give them privacy. They put the towels down beside the hot tub. Rarity walked into the hot tub and motioned Pinkie to do the same. Pinkie groaned and leapt into the hot tub. The water surprised with its warmth, and she quickly slipped down into a comfortable position.

Rarity could see how Pinkie was beginning to enjoy the hot tub and mentally congratulated herself for a job well done. “See darling, I told you this would be nice” said Rarity, now sliding lower into the hot tub. Pinkie hated to admit it, but it did feel nice.

Some time passed before either of them said a word. They were just enjoying the water. “So darling, what exactly is the problem? There is clearly something your mind.” asked Rarity, breaking the silence. Pinkie knew it was only a matter of time until Rarity asked and simply sighed.

‘If I was you I would shut her up for good...’

“SHUT UP!” shouted Pinkie Pie, frustration in her voice.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude! I was only trying to help” whispered Rarity, a little startled.

Pinkie’s mane suddenly dropped completely straight and she turned to look at Rarity with the maddest grin on her face.

“Hello Rarity! I don’t believe we’ve ever met!”

Doubt

Rarity scrambled her way out of the tub, frightened by the sudden transformation.

“Pinkie, what’s wrong? I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to annoy you. Are you okay?” Rarity whispered, a small sliver of fear audible in her voice.

The pink maned pony ignored her and leapt out of the tub, trotting towards Rarity. The elegant mare backed up against the wall.

“Rarity... You’re so naive, you know that? I said we’ve never met before and here you are calling me Pinkie.” Pinkamena said, her voice dripping with contempt. Her mane was now hanging straight over her left eye. “Pinkie what are you talking about?” Rarity was now trying to avoid Pinkamena’s stare, it was sending shivers down her spine.

Pinkamena pushed her face closer to Rarity’s and smiled a little. “I could explain it to you, but it’s more fun this way... Prepare yourself.” Pinkamena whispered, lifting her right hoof in the air. Rarity brought her hooves up to cover her face from the blow.

“Ahhhhhh” Screamed Rarity waiting on the impact of her friend's hoof. It never came. She looked up to see what was going on. Pinkamena’s hoof had stopped in mid air, then slowly lowered completely, then she started shaking and staggering backwards. “Stop it! Pinkie NO! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!” Pinkamena screamed, thrashing wildly around the room.

Rarity wasn’t sure if she should stay and help her friend, or run out the door. She stood there frozen with fear and worry the desire to help battling her self preservation instinct. Suddenly the door behind Rarity slammed the door open and Lotus appeared through it. “What is going on in here!?” She asked, her voice fighting to be heard over the noise Pinkamena was making.

Pinkamena suddenly stopped thrashing and twitching and simply collapsed onto the floor. A couple of seconds passed before anypony moved or spoke. Rarity walked slowly to her friend's limp body. “Pinkie... Are you all right?” Rarity asked, staring at her friend's body with concern.

Pinkie’s hair bounced back to its signature style, but she still wouldn’t move. Rarity was getting really worried now. “Lotus help me move her onto her back!” Rarity ordered frantically, with panic now evident in her voice. Lotus rushed from the door to the unconscious mare, and she and Rarity began to push Pinkie onto her back.

“Pinkie, darling? Please wake up!” Rarity pleaded into the unresponsive face of her friend. Pinkie’s eyes began to open slowly, and she stared into Rarity’s eyes with confusion. “Oh thank Celestia you’re awake!” Rarity sighed in relief. “You really had us worried there.”

Pinkie got off the floor and began dusting herself off. “Pinkie... What just happened?” Rarity asked, her voice thick with confusion and concern. Pinkie looked at her friend with tears pooling in the corner of her eyes. “You... wouldn’t understand.” Pinkie murmured, walking for the exit.

“Pinkie wait!” Rarity called to the retreating pony, but it was too late. The pink mare had broke into a full gallop away from the spa. She kept running, stopping for nopony. It wasn’t long until she reached her home. Pinkie ran inside and locked all the doors. She then walked upstairs and jumped on her bed. She lay there for a while completely silent.

‘I was about to strike! Why did you have to interrupt the good part!?’

‘Just shut up... I won’t let you hurt my friends, they mean the world to me.’

‘REMEMBER WHEN I WAS YOUR WORLD!? I MEANT EVERYTHING TO YOU!’

Pinkie Pie ignored the thought and struggled under the covers. Putting her head under the blanket she curled up into a ball while tears silently rolling down her cheeks.
‘See you soon...friend.’
Not another sound was made, inside the house or inside her head. It wasn’t long until sleep finally took her.

Pinkie woke up in a place that she would never have expected to, in her bed, neither shaking nor sweating. She climbed out of bed, confused and wondering why she hadn't seen her other half last night. ‘Why? Why did she not take me... What is she up to... Is she biding her time? There's only one thing I can do to protect everypony.’

Pinkie ran down the stairs and into her basement, she grabbed a bunch of planks, nails and a hammer. She ran back upstairs and started boarding up the windows and doors. ‘She's up to something... Until I figure out what it is nopony gets in or out....’

*****************

One week later

Pinkie sat in the middle of her room, staring into her mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot, tears dry on her rosy cheeks. She had the maddest grin on her face. ‘Pinkamena! Show yourself now! I know you’re still there. I want answers!’ Pinkie began to laugh with the most manic grin she could do. Her mane and tail was a mess, parts of them were stuck up in air while others were somehow perfectly straight.

‘Pinkie, pinkie, pinkie... Look at what you have become. Nothing but a pony gone mad.’

Pinkie looked into the mirror with anger in her eyes, and before she could respond her doppelganger began to manifest in it.

“There you are! I want answers now, tell me the truth!” Pinkie screamed at the mirror.

“Pinkie, You’ve gone insane over this, it’s almost hilarious. I have been sitting in your mind for the past week laughing at every step you made. Here’s a thought to drive you even madder. Ever think that I didn’t really exist? Maybe you have just made this all up. All the voices and dreams? Just keep thinking...” Pinkamena said with barely controlled laughter evident in her voice.

Pinkie froze in her place, her face lost all trace of emotion. She began to shake and grabbed her head with her hooves. 'What if I have been making this up? Maybe I attacked Rarity. Nopony else, but me. I’m to blame for all of this!? Please Celestia make this stop! I have no idea what’s going on anymore! Somepony please help me!'

Pinkamena's reflection in the mirror was watching her break down, laughing at how pathetic Pinkie looked. “You’re insane Pinkie... It’s the truth and you know it.” Pinkamena whispered almost seductively.

Pinkie looked up at the mirror, her eyes staring into her counterpart's. She felt hatred towards her. She jumped at the mirror and smashed it, sending shards of glass flying across the room and cutting into her hoof. She stared at the blood, and heard the sound of laughter in her head.

‘Am I really going insane?’

Let the show begin

Pinkie sat in the middle of her tarnished room, shaking and scared. The dim moonlight coming through the small openings of the boarded up windows shined on her tear stained face. She was staring at her blood stained hoof with the most satanic grin. “I’ve gone insane haven’t I,” Pinkie Pie whispered.

“I’ve gone insane!,” Pinkie screamed, her mane suddenly dropping perfectly straight. “AND I LOVE IT HAHAHA!” Pinkamena laughed. Pinkamena got up off the floor and looked around her, examining the room. She could see broken glass, blood splats and objects littered all around the room.

“Jeez Pinkie you could've at least cleaned up after all you were expecting a guest” Pinkamena mocked. Silently giggling to herself at her own joke. ‘First thing to do is take care of that stupid mare, sticking her nose in affairs that don’t concern her.’

She walked down the stairs and started to pull the wooden planks of the door, she stepped outside into the glow of the moonlight. She started to head in the direction of Ponyville’s public library. It’s still night, good this should make my job easier...

She approached the library and started knocking on the door “Twilight wake up! Something urgent has come up!” Pinkamena shouted trying not grin at her lie. She kept knocking until the door swung open. A groggy looking purple mare stood in the hallway. “Pinkie... ah what’s the problem and couldn’t it of waited till morning? Twilight asked irritated by the late night call.

The pink pony ran past Twilight into her library putting on a distressed face. “Oh no Twilight it’s just horrible, it couldn’t wait, but first wheres Spike?” Twilight slammed the door closed and turned to her friend. “He’s at Canterlot on some important business for me, but why? And what’s the problem,?” Asked Twilight starting to wonder what was wrong with her friend.

“Also what’s up with your mane? I have never seen it like that.” Pinkamena walked over to her friend, ignoring the last question. “That’s good, he doesn’t need to be here. Also heres the problem,” She moved to whisper in her ear. “Pinkamena Diane Pie has returned.” Pinkamena hissed.

“Wait... What?” Twilight asked confused. Before she could ask another question Pinkamena raised her hoof and hit her across the face. The purple mare fell backwards onto the floor stunned at what just happened. “Pinkie what are you doing!?” She screamed at the pink mare.

“I’M NOT PINKIE!” Pinkamena screeched charging at Twilight for another attack. Twilight charged up a spell and aimed at her friend. She unleashed a purple beam heading straight for the mad mare. Pinkamena dove out of the way, but Twilight was quick and quickly fired another hitting her across the face, slicing her cheek and leaving a little blood to drip out.

The fight came to a stand still and the two mares glared at each other. Twilight stood up off the floor and got ready for another attack. Pinkamena licked the blood of her cheek and threw a smile at Twilight. “That was exciting, don’t you think?” Pinkamena asked now breathing in and out trying to prepare herself. “Pinkie what’s going on?” Questioned Twilight behind gritted teeth.

Pinkamena started to laugh leaving the purple mare even more confused. “You really don’t know oh wow. You’re supposed to be the smartest pony in this town? I’m really beginning to doubt that,” Pinkamena mocked her just causing Twilight to become more angry.

“This is revenge... You tried to get rid of me, did you really think it would be that easy?” Pinkamena giggled to herself. Twilight came to a realisation “Wait... You really are Pinkamena Diane Pie. You really do exist, but you’re obviously not the real Pinkie. Pinkie snap out of it! Come to your senses!” Twilight shouted at the sadistic pony.

“She can't hear you... Don’t waste your breath, you’re gonna need it. This is my body now and nopony is gonna take it away from me!” Pinkamena shouted back the shaking mare across the room. “Why are you doing this? We can sort something out I know we ca-”

Twilight was cut of as the pink pony started charging at her again. She tried to fire up another spell fast, but she was too late. Pinkamena jumped on top of her and wrestled the unicorn to the floor. She pinned her down and stared with hateful eyes into her pupils. Pinkamena headbutted the trapped mare knocking her out.

Her head fell to the side and her body stopped moving. Pinkamena stepped off her and examined the unicorns limp body. She could see that she was still breathing. She looked at her and felt disgusted. ‘Pathetic the student of Princess Celestia herself was beaten by one pony. I expected her to put up a better fight’

Pinkamena grabbed her victim’s hoof by her mouth and began to drag her into the back room.

‘Now the real fun can begin...’

Twilight opened her eyes slowly, she felt like she had drunk a lot of alcohol the night before. Her head was thumping with pain and her eyes felt heavy; she looked around the room, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. She attempted to move only to be pulled back by something.

She was slightly hovering above her bed and quickly noticed what was holding her. She blushed and tried to use her magic to remove the bindings only to find out she couldn’t use her magic.

“Well... Haven’t you been a naughty pony” Pinkamena whispered while entering the room. “Why has a little book worm got bondage gear? I never would've took you as the fun type” Twilight turned to look at her kidnapper. “These aren’t mine! Now get me out of these!” Twilight shouted at Pinkamena.

Pinkamena giggled “Sure these aren’t yours.” Pinkamena said sarcastically. “it’s not like I found them under your bed. Also did you notice you can’t use your magic?” Pinkamena grinned imagining how helpless Twilight must feel.

“Yes I did and what did you do?” Twilight asked glaring at Pinkamena. “You shouldn’t have so many chemicals that could be used against you in your basement. Not to mention have them all lined up in alphabetical order. I found a drug that blocks out unicorn magic, why would you even have that?” Pinkamena asked, but not really caring about the answer.

Twilight continued to struggle in her bindings, trying to get out. Her back in considerable pain because nothing was supporting it; the leather straps held her by the hooves suspending her just above the bed. “What do you plan to do?” Twilight asked behind gritted teeth.

“I could tell you, but I would much rather show you.” Pinkamena said while jumping onto the bed. She stood above Twilight, staring into her eyes. She could see the fear in the unicorns eyes and Pinkamena couldn’t help, but smile at this. “You’re... You’re not gonna rape me are you?” Twilight asked nervously.

Pinkamena laughed at Twilight’s question, shaking her head at how funny it sounded. “Oh Twilight... You’re such a curious pony.” Pinkamena said while trying to stifle her laugh. She moved closer to Twilight’s left ear. “But you would like that wouldn’t you?”

She moved away from Twilight’s ear and noticed that Twilight looked horrified. She could tell she was right, and Twilight was ashamed because of it. “I bet you enjoy the pain... Or maybe you like to be the dominate one? But tough luck, I’m the queen around here, and nobody else!” Pinkamena screamed in Twilight’s face.

Twilight moved her head to right, and let a few tears leak out. Pinkamena leaned down and licked one of the tears, causing Twilight to cringe at the contact. “Ponies pain, and misery is my own personal pleasure.” Pinkamena whispered while grinning.

“Please... just let me go, I’m begging you.” Twilight pleaded with the sadistic pony. “And ruin all the fun I have planned? No chance” Pinkamena said. Pinkamena jumped off the bed, and left the room, leaving Twilight to her own thoughts. She quickly returned with a knife in her mouth, causing Twilight’s blood to run cold.

“NO!” Twilight screamed. “Get away from me you mad mare!” Twilight started to use all her force to remove the straps, but they never budged. Pinkamena ignoring her jumped back onto the bed; she started to move the knife closer to Twilight’s throat, but the unicorn reacted fast.

She moved her head up trying to headbutt the pink pony, and it connected. Knocking the mad mare out; her and the knife fell off the bed. Pinkamena lay on the floor unconscious, Twilight tried to collect her thoughts, and calm down. Looking for a way out, leaving the pink mare to slip into her dreams.

***********

“Oh for Celestia’s sake!,” Pinkamena screamed in frustration. “Dumb mare got the drop on me, but where am I?” Pinkamena looked around her and quickly realized where she was. She was back in the white endless room. “NO! I swear when I get out of here I’m torturing that stupid unicorn to her death.” Pinkamena said while grinding her teeth.

“Pinkie I know you’re here... Show yourself, and lets get this done with.” Pinkamena said with boredom in her voice. She lay down on the white floor using her hoof to rest her head on.
“Well Pinkie? I don’t have all day.” The sound of playful laughter suddenly filled the room.

A pink pony with frizzy a mane started to manifest in front of Pinkamena. “You should really learn to laugh, it helps a lot!” Pinkie Pie said while giggling. Pinkamena looked at her with a bored expression, and sighed. “Pinkie I don’t even know why you’re here; you have become so weak, your body belongs to me now.”

Pinkie sat down beside her counterpart. “I know that silly...” Pinkie whispered, her voice starting to sound raspy. “I’ve accepted that... It just hurts to know I will never see my friends again; I even seen what you were going to do to Twilight, and I have just one thing to ask,”

Pinkie grabbed Pinkamena’s hooves, tears forming in her bright blue eyes. “Please... I’m begging you don’t hurt my friends. They mean the world to me even if I can no longer see them.” Pinkie tried to smile, but it hurt to much so she let her head drop in shame.

“Pinkie you brought this on yourself.” Pinkamena spat the words with hatred in her voice. “How did I do that!? What did I do that was so wrong!?” Shouted Pinkie Pie, tears now falling down her cheeks. “You left me alone! You abandoned me, left me to die! I WAS YOUR FRIEND!” Pinkamena screamed while pushing Pinkie’s hooves away.

“I’m so sorry...” Pinkie said. She was desperately close to losing hope. “But you know what’s worse than being left alone?,” Pinkamena said, looking at Pinkie with sorrowful eyes. “Being used, lied to, deceived... Left behind and completely forgotten..” Pinkamena whispered while falling to the floor, her own eyes filling with tears.

Pinkie walked over to her doppelganger, and wrapped her hooves around her. “I’m so sorry...” Leaving the mad mare to sob in her embrace.

Trust

“Get off me!” Pinkamena screamed while pushing Pinkie off her. “I don’t need your help or your sympathy, and I’m not some pathetic mare like you!” Pinkamena continued to shout at her doppelganger with tears falling down her face. Pinkie sat still just taking the abuse.

She looked up at Pinkamena “What... exactly is wrong with you?” Pinkie asked. The sadistic mare froze when she heard the question. She began to laugh wildly, and pushed her face against Pinkies. “Every Night I feel imprisoned inside of my mind! MY MIND IS SLOWLY BREAKING DOWN TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN!” Pinkamena screeched in a demonic voice.

Pinkie sat still, her eyes focused on her old friend. Pinkamena moved away from her, and sat down not looking at Pinkie. “Take a good look at me Pinkie... Do you even recognize me anymore?” Pinkamena whispered the question. “I’m only the creature you made me, I wouldn’t even call myself a pony anymore.” Pinkie walked up behind the sobbing mare, and placed her hoof on her shoulder.

“I can’t recognize you... But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to know you.” Pinkie said with a smile, and trying wipe away her own tears. Pinkamena looked over her shoulder to see Pinkie. “But don’t you know who you are? You are Pinkie Pie, just like me.” Pinkie said answering her own question.

“You are more than the choices you’ve made, we can put all this behind us; You are more than the sum of your past mistakes, and you may be broken, but all broken things can be repaired.” Pinkie Pie said while grinning at Pinkamena. Her own eyes felt like life had been returned to them.

“Pinkie... I honestly have no idea how you do it. I mean no matter what you always get back up, and just laugh.” Pinkamena said. “I guess I’m just lucky, and don't let life get me down because I have amazing friends, and I want you to be a part of those friends,” Pinkie said.

“I accept you, and love you for who are you.” Pinkamena’s lips slightly smiled when she heard the last words. “ Pinkamena turned round and embraced the her other half. “Promise me... Promise me that you won’t forget me!” Pinkamena said. “I promise to always love you, and spend time with you. I will never leave your side again.” Pinkie whispered.

“Okay... I believe you... but can you please let me do one more thing? I want to apologise to Twilight. I never really wanted to hurt her, I only wanted to make you feel how I felt.” Pinkamena said. “It’s alright... I understand.” Pinkie said in an almost motherly tone.

********

Pinkamena lifted her eyes lids, and it appeared she was still in Twilight’s room. The knife sitting in front of her, she picked it up, and stood up off the floor. She turned to face the unicorn who was still tied up. Twilight noticed her getting back up, and began to scream.

Pinkamena approached the bed with malice in her eyes. Walking in an almost ladylike manner, she dropped the knife beside the bed. Seeing the knife drop caused Twilight to stop screaming; Pinkamena jumped back onto the bed, and sat beside Twilight who was still hovering just above the bed.

“What are you doing?” Twilight asked eyeing her with suspicion. “You know Twilight... Pinkie is such a forgiving fool.” Pinkamena said her voice dripping with contempt. Pinkamena in one swift motion wrapped her hoof around Twilight’s throat, and pulled back; suffocating the unicorn.

‘NO LET HER GO PLEASE! I’M BEGGING YOU!'

Pinkamena continued, ignoring the voice in her head. She was smiling as she heard the mare fight for her life. “I heard screaming ,and came as fast as I could!" Said an exhausted voice just entering the room. Pinkamena looked for the source of the noise, not letting go of Twilight.

“Well if it isn’t my little Dashie...” Pinkamena said while staring the cyan pony. Rainbow Dash could see Pinkamena choking Twilight, and flew towards her. She pulled Pinkamena off her, and they both fell to the floor. Twilight gasping for air in the background; The sadistic pony was furious to hear the unicorn breathe.

Pinkamena got up faster than Dash, and ran for the window. “Wait!” Shouted Rainbow Dash. Pinkamena didn’t even bother opening it she just dove through it; leaving the glass to cause slices in her face. She knew Dash wouldn’t follow her, she would be to busy helping Twilight.

She began to run towards the everfree forest.

‘I can’t believe I got interrupted again! I swear I’m gonna kill one of them. I have to at least get one!’

She arrived outside the forest, and looked into the entrance. ‘I gotta admit... even this place gives me the creeps’ She could see the plants, and trees moving by themselves, odd little shadows darting through the bushes. ‘Well I don’t exactly have anywhere else to go.’

She ran into the everfree forest, trying to avoid wild branches, and other unnameable objects. She ran so far into it that she began to lose vision; the darkness was too thick, and the moon wasn’t helping. She decided to walk it from here.

She kept walking trying her best to see until she came across something she never expected to see. It looked like an abandoned campsite, there was two tents, a campfire, and what looked like some food that was still eatable. She searched around the camp, and found some flint and stone.
She approached the campfire, it still had some logs in it. She hit the flint and stone together for some time, and eventually the logs caught fire; the flames shot up illuminating the site. ‘At least I know I can survive for sometime now.”

‘Why did you do that? I thought you were being sincere!’

‘Pinkie... You should’ve known. Although I have to admit you’re the most easiest pony to deceive ever. Now you know a little of how I felt when you left me.’

Pinkamena walked into one of the tents, it was a bit battered and some holes in it, but still usable. She laid down on the floor, and closed her eyes ready to get some sleep; the last thing she heard were crying noises in her head.

Psychological Mishaps

“Um Twi? Do you mind calming down, and telling me what just happened?,” The cyan pony asked as she watched an annoyed looking unicorn walk around the library. Twilight paced the room, her face twisted in concentration, a faint voice ringing in her ears. “Twilight!”

The purple mare stopped pacing, and turned to her friend. “I’m sorry Rainbow... I’m still trying to figure it all out myself.” Twilight said. Twilight began levitating books of their shelves ,looking at the titles and muttering to herself while Rainbow sat in the corner looking confused.

“I know I have it around here somewhere, where's Spike when you need him!?” Twilight exploded. Rainbow Dash had to hide a snicker from the unicorn. “Remember Twi? You sent him on an errand to Canterlot.” Rainbow said while trying not to giggle. Twilight ignored her and continued her search for her book.

“Ah ha! I knew I had it here somewhere.” Twilight said while levitating a bid, dusty book onto the floor. She slammed the book onto the floor causing a loud bang and dust to fly off it. It had big letters on the front saying ‘Psychological Mishaps’ she flipped the book open to a chapter saying ‘Spilt Personality Disorders’ “Rainbow come over here and read this.” Twilight said, waving a hoof motioning the pegasus towards her.

The cyan pony sighed and hovered over to the unicorn. “What is it Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asked. “Just read this chapter.” Twilight said, her patience getting thin. Rainbow moved her head closer to the book and began to read.

Split personality disorder is also known as dissociative identity disorder or multiple personality disorder. The causes of split personality disorder are mainly psychological factors, like filly abuse, traumatic fillyhood experiences like loss of a near one, intensive humiliation; neglected fillyhood and difficulty adapting to change. Apart from psychological factors, tangible factors include iatrogenesis that is the adverse effect of medical treatment, that could be medicines or psychological treatment. The causes differ from pony to pony and it is not necessary that split personality disorder develops its roots only in fillyhood. In some cases, an adult may suffer from chronic stress, inability to cope with pressures or adapt to change, and as a way out of his depressing situation, develops a split personality which takes control of his original self. Sometimes, ponies are so greatly affected or influenced by some incident or pony, that the feelings resurface as another personality and the pony lives a different life, the kind he wished for but could not given his real situation. Since split personality disorder is a psychological condition, its causes and symptoms vary with every pony. The most common symptoms include opinions or behavior which is incongruent. For example: a pony may give an impression of being quiet and introverted but in another situation he may behave surprisingly outgoing. Panic attacks, a general sense of paranoia with no explained reason, recurring nightmares of previous incidents, staying away from family or friends, acute depression, unreasonable phobias or mood swings, are some of the symptoms which are generally seen. In some cases, the pony is so deep into his condition that both the personalities exist finely tuned and symptoms may be invisible to the ordinary eye. As such, the symptoms of split personality disorder are such that they can be misunderstood as general pony behavior but repeated cases of inexplicable behavior should be taken seriously as there can be a deep psychological reason behind it.

Rainbow finished the chapter and took a long breath, she looked at Twilight with a puzzled expression. “Twi this doesn’t exactly answer my question, in fact this raises even more questions.” She mumbled.

Twilight facehoofed and began pacing the room again. “Just do me a favor; go get the girls and meet up back here, I will explain it all then.” She said. The pegasus pony sighed and headed for the door.

**************

Twilight looked around at the faces of four other ponies all waiting on her to speak. Twilight stood in front of them with a determined look on her face. “I’m glad you all came on such short notice, but this is important. We have a serious problem on our hands, it’s about Pinkie Pie,” She said.
Rarity took her gaze off Twilight and began looking around the room.

“Pinkie Pie appears to have come down with a mental illness. More specifically that illness appears to be a split personality disorder. Do all of you understand what that is?,” The four ponies all nodded their heads. “Okay, is there any questions so far?”

An orange earth pony raised her hoof. “Yes Applejack?” Twilight asked.

“Umm how do ya know all this?” The earth pony asked.

“Excellent question Applejack. I know this because she attacked me and she explained everything to me, she must of expected to have succeeded in killing me or else i don’t think she would’ve spilled everything to me. If it wasn’t for Dash here she would’ve succeeded...”

“She attempted to murder ya?”

“You left out the detail in where I found you in bondage gear.” Dash interrupted them, snickering.

“Dash!” Twilight shouted while blushing.

Rainbow Dash started laughing uncontrollably, Fluttershy looked to the floor, Rarity’s eyes widened and Applejack had to hide a giggle, but managed to keep a stern look on her face.

“Look th-thats not important,” Twilight stuttered as her face grew even more redder. Rarity stepped forward and stood beside Twilight; she cleared her throat, getting ready to speak.

“May I have everypony’s attention please?” Rarity spoke with a no nonsense tone making everypony stop what they were doing and focus on her. “Twilight is right... I have seen first hand what Pinkie is capable of and we really need to help her,” The other four ponies gasped, but before Rarity let them question her she began speaking again.

“She attacked me while we were at the spa around a week ago. I never told anypony about it, Lotus knew about it because she saw the aftermath of it, but I swore her to secrecy. I didn’t tell anypony about it because I honestly thought it was just a one off. I thought it was my fault, but I see now that is not the case.” Little tears began to appear in the corner of the unicorn’s bright blue eyes.

Twilight could see her friend was getting distressed and took over the speech. “And that’s why we have to help her; before she hurts somepony else. So as soon as dawn comes we will conduct a search for her, but for now I think you should all return home and lock your doors just to be on the safe side. Also get a lot of rest we’re gonna have a busy day tomorrow.” Said the purple mare.

She moved towards to her front door and opened it with her magic. She held it open letting the four ponies pass through. “Don’t tell anypony else about this. I would rather not get Pinkie in trouble.” Twilight said and the rest of them nodded in agreement.

After exchanging goodbyes they left the library, leaving Twilight all alone. She went upstairs and climbed into her bed, snuggling into the warmth of it. Feeling the exhaustion of today’s actions finally hitting her. She drifted off to sleep with one thought in her head.

‘I really hope Pinkie is okay... Wherever she is.’

Planning and corruption

Pinkamena awoke, shaking her head and trying to get the feeling of grogginess away. She stepped out of her beaten tent and looked up to the sky. The moon was still there, but it’s light was fading; the sun getting ready to take it’s place. She spotted an apple tree a few steps away from the tent.

She lifted her hind legs and thrusted them towards it, a few apples fell from it onto the dying leaves below. She picked one of them up and examined it; it smelled rotten and was a bitter brown color. Her stomach began to growl and she sighed. She took a bite out of the apple, expecting the worst.

The mare rolled the pieces around her tongue a few times, trying to determine it’s flavor. It tasted like sour broccoli, but she scrunched her face and continued eating. The hunger was too strong to ignore, she ate a few more until the taste finally got to her and she threw the apples away.

She moved to sit beside the fire that was still dimly lit. It’s tiny flames sending little sparks in all directions almost like a beautiful dance. She continued to stare at them, thinking to herself.

‘I can’t believe this went so wrong... Twilight should’ve been so easy! She’s nothing, but a bookworm, it’s all Rainbow’s fault! I can’t go after her yet, she would easily defeat me. After all she is an athletic pony. Who is weakest out of us all...’

The sadistic pony began to grin, her face twisted into a maniac’s smile, her eyes glowing with malice.

*******

A yellow pegasus was sitting in her cottage, staring out her window at the moon falling down. A little rabbit lay half asleep beside her, she was stroking his fur and singing to him.

“Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to go to bed...” The pegasus sung in a soft timid voice. She repeated this until he fell asleep, she lifted the little rabbit and laid him down on his bed.

She moved to her couch and sat down, closing her tired, sleep deprived eyes.

‘I really hope Pinkie is okay... I wonder where she went, is she safe or maybe she’s all alone with none of her friends? How did this happen...

She got off her couch and proceeded upstairs, her head half dipping as she walked the stairs to her room. She opened her door and climbed into her bed.

SMASH

Fluttershy lifted her head, her eyes widened and she began to shake. She jumped out of bed, trying to move herself to her bedroom door, but her hooves wouldn’t move. She just stood there, her entire body shaking.

THUMB, THUMB, THUMB

Something was on the stairs.

Rattle, rattle, rattle

The doorknob began the shake.

The frightened mare began moving towards the corner of her room, she fell into the corner and hid her face between her hooves.

Creak, creak, creak

Something was moving towards her, it stopped right in front of the shaking mare. She could feel a hot breath on her face, she squinted through her eyes.

“Hello Fluttershy...” The voice whispered.

Fluttershy opened her eyes to see a pink pony standing over her and looking into her eyes. She quickly realized who it was and wrapped her hooves around her. Still shaking, she was struggling to hold back tears.

“Oh Pinkie! I was so worried about you! Where did you go? What’s going on?” The pegasus cried out.

The pink mare returned the hug. “Fluttershy...” Pinkamena whispered, she let a single tear fall from her eye. “You’re so innocent, it almost hurts me too do this to you.”

The shaking mare eyes widened, suddenly remembering what her friend had done to Twilight, but it was too late. The crazed mare grabbed the pegasus wing and began twisting it leaving the defenseless pony to scream in pain.

“AHHH Pinkie please no, let me go!” Fluttershy screaming in agony. Pinkamena pulled her in closer, using her wing as grip. “My name is not PINKIE!” Pinkamena screeched causing the scared pony to wince. She kept twisting the wing until a deafening snap was heard.

The yellow mare let out a blood-curdling scream, echoing throughout the cottage, but unhearable to the passersby outside. Pinkamena’s expression was repugnant, and her eyes were mixed with joy and pain. She pushed the crying mare into the corner and began beating her savagely and with no mercy.

She repeatedly struck her face with her hoof, snapping her muzzle and causing blood to splash over the wall behind her and onto her hoof. “HUSH NOW, QUIET NOW IT’S TIME TO LAY YOUR SLEEPY HEAD! HUSH NOW QUIET NOW IT’S TIME TO GO TO BED!” Pinkamena screamed, still continuing her ruthless attack. A wild sadistic grin taking over her face.

Pinkamena lowered hooves and trotted to the bed, she jumped up and sat down on it, trying to calm her breathing. She stared at her blooded hoof, her smile became even wider and a wet fluid dripped down her.

She looked at the sobbing mare in the corner and admired how the blood mixed with her yellow coat. To her it looked beautiful as it ran down her coat. “Fluttershy don’t look so sad, it will all be over soon enough.” Pinkamena said. “Wh-why are you doing this? I never did anything to you.” Fluttershy whimpered.

“That is true, but you are a friend of Pinkies so sadly you have to die. You stupidly befriended that ecstatic pony and brought her joy; which in turn caused me to leave so in a way you have hurt me.”

Pinkamena got off the bed and started to walk slowly towards the fear induced pony. “Please don’t do this... Please come to your senses!” Fluttershy shouted while getting back on her hooves. She was still shaking, but her bloody face had a determined look. She watched as the pink mare continued her advance.

Please don’t do this! Come back to us Pinkie, I’m begging you please! Remember how we used to bake cupcakes or when we went to cheer on Rainbow Dash at the young flyers competition! We always did everything together, we defeated a dragon together, defeated Nightmare moon, Discord and Chrysalis! But most importantly you taught us how to laugh... Do you remember?,”

The sadistic pony stopped in front of her and stared into her eyes.

“So, giggle at the ghostly, guffaw at the grossly, crack up at the creepy, whoop it up with the weepy, chortle at the kooky, snortle at the spooky. And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha...heh...” Fluttershy sung in a hoarse voice as little tears ran down her eyes.

She looked through her tear stained eyes and could’ve sworn she seen her old friend behind the corrupted eyes of her attacker...
