Skystar blinked several times, her eyelids peaking lower and lower each time she did.

"It's okay, Skystar. Just rest. I'll handle things from here." Pinkie stroked the hippogriff's mane, influencing her into a deep sleep. "It was all just a dream."

Rover let out another yell. "Don't underestimate me, pony!"

Pinkie glared at the dog. "You don't get it. You're in my Funhouse. I'm in control here."

"Rover will take whatever he-" Rover got bounced into the air, then another ribbon wrapped around his legs, causing him to hang upside-down.

"Listen, puppy. You're leaving one of two ways. An obedient pet that will leave ponies alone, or a dead body. Your choice." Pinkie bit her lip. Did I just say that? I don't know if I can bring myself to kill anyone, even someone as low as he is.

The dog let out a roar that made it amazing that Skystar was still asleep. "STUPID PONY! ROVER IS ALMIGHTY! SHE SAID SO HERSELF! ROVER WILL TAKE PONY AND PONY FRIEND TO BECOME HIS-"

*Veep*

Rover's torso suddenly disconnected from his legs, dropping to the ground.

"What the-" Pinkie suddenly noticed a claw pulling back into the legs of the bifurcation victim. Someone cut him in half? Was that the "she" he was referring to?

The legs fell as soon as the ribbon holding them loosened, falling onto the torso of the dog.

What the heck just happened? What kind of Stand was... that... Pinkie slowly lowered herself. Maud said something about this once. Diamond Dogs are...

A pink hoof reached towards the dog. Rover suddenly grabbed it and yanked down a naked Pinkie Pie, attaching leashes all over her body. "STUPID PONY! ROVER WILL-"

Seams appeared all over Pinkie's body, catching Rover off guard.

"I'm glad that I remembered that Diamond Dogs are made of gemstones." Pinkie, still clad in her tailcoat, was holding her sleeping friend while standing a good distance away. "Otherwise that would have actually gotten me. And please stop calling me stupid. I'm clearly smarter than you are."

"DIAMOND DOGS ARE NOT STUPID! DIAMOND DOGS DON'T GIVE UP! DIAMOND DOG WILL END YOU FOR CALLING DIAMOND DOG STUPID!"

Pinkie's eye twitched. He's completely gone! There's no way he'll just walk away! I actually have to kill him! A cage appeared around Pinkie and Skystar, catching all of the leashes that were headed their way.

"DIAMOND DOG WILL RULE OVER PONY! DIAMOND DOG WILL RULE OVER WORLD! DIAMOND DOG'S POWER WILL TURN ALL INTO-"

*CRUNCH*

Pinkie closed her eyes, then slowly opened them back up. Rover's head had been crushed into dust.

"Sorry." Maud brushed off her hoof. "I followed you here. I didn't want you to deal with the trauma of having to kill him. You don't mind, do you?"

"Um..." Pinkie stepped to the ground, still holding Skystar. "N-no. I understand. Thanks."

The tent slowly faded, along with what Pinkie and Skystar were wearing.

I don't get it. Who was he talking about? Did she ask him to target me or Skystar? Was that their claw? Or did that belong to someone else? I don't understand.

"Pinkie?"

Pinkie gasped. "Skystar!"

"What... happened? I feel tired. I got off the train and then... nothing?"

"It's alright, Skystar. Don't worry about it. Everything is fine."

Skystar blinked twice. "Okay. I'm going to sleep a bit more, alright?"

"That's fine." Pinkie watched her friend drift off to sleep. What if there are more Stand Users after me? After more than me? I have to tell Twilight that this happened. I just hope Maud isn't arrested for murder.
