Cherry's Past

Pinkamena trotted out of the abandoned house and stood at her sister's grave. It was night time and every pony was asleep. The pink mare fell to her knees.

"Sister... I'm here... I miss you." She sighed. "I wish I could go back and... fix it... I wish I could save you."

Suddenly a lightning bolt struck the grave as a ghostly laugh was heard. Just then a hoof shot up from Cherry's grave. Pinkamena fell backwards and scooted away.

"Wh-What?" she whimpered.

Just then the ground above the grave cracked open and Cherry rose up, stepping out onto the solid ground.

"Sister..." said the corpse.

Pinkamena covered her eyes. "You're not real. You're not real."

She then took a deep breath and removed her hooves, looking around. There were no signs of any disturbance, nor those of her sister. She exhaled deeply and stood, turning to leave when she came face-to-face with Cherry. There was a hole in her cheek where a worm was sticking out. Her left eye was missing and some of her hair was missing. Pinks let out a scream and fell backwards.

"You killed me," said Cherry. "You killed me.

Pinkamena gasped. "No no no no no no no..." she whimpered. "I love you."

"You killed me."

Pinkamena shut her eyes tightly and cried.

May shook the pink mare frantically. "Wake up!"

Pinks let out a gasp and opened her eyes, panting. "M-May?"

"Another bad dream, sweetie?"

The pink mare nodded. "I keep seeing her face..."

May sighed. "I know how you feel. I keep seeing Dawn in my dreams."

"It's not the same!"

May gasped softly. "What do you mean?"

"It's different! You didn't kill your sister!" she yelled, getting out of bed and leaving the room.

The red unicorn hesitated briefly before getting out of bed and looked down the hall to the right. Pinkamena was out on the balcony, resting her forelegs on the banister. May slowly trotted over to her.

"Pinks, I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking."

"I just miss her so much," whimpered Pinkie. "I bet in your dreams you're happy to see your sister, but... all I have are nightmares about how I killed mine."

May stepped up beside her and put a hoof around her. "You're right... You did have it worse than me... but... I'll never leave you. I will always be there if you need to talk. Okay?"

Pinks smiled. "Th-Thanks..." She sniffled and wiped her eyes. "Just... how could it have come to this? I was the only one who'd play with Cherry when she was a foal, you know..."

"What exactly is Cherry's story?" asked May. "And why is she a unicorn if you're an earth pony?"

Pinkamena took a deep breath. "I had two sisters named Inkie and Blinkie, a mother, and a father. Like a normal family. Then, one day my father finds out that our mom cheated on him with a... unicorn colt. He was mad, but... since she didn't say she was pregnant, he soon let it go. But when Cherry was born, he left. Inkie and Blinkie then hated Cherry for ruining our family."

"Didn't they know it was the mom's fault?"

"No pony told us. We thought it was due to her birth and her birth alone. But, I found out... Fast forward years later to after my first kill, I... made Cherry kill our mom."

May gasped and put a hoof to her mouth. "What?"

"Well, needless to say, she snapped. I mean, she was about as cunning and sneaky as me, but... she like killing WAY too much even for my tastes. Then, one day, she got arrested and thrown into the Manehattan Asylum."

"She didn't rat you out to the Guard?"

"She's like me in that regard. She would never put her family at risk. But... she was sweet as a foal... I just wish I had been nicer to her..."

May said nothing. She just did her best to take in this new information about her fiancé. She never knew that she had corrupted her sister and turned her into a killer.

"So, when you said that it was your fault..."

Pinkamena nodded. "Yep. I made her what she was. I'll never forgive myself now."

May hugged her. "I'm sorry."

"Not as sorry as I am."

May kissed her neck. "Come on... Come back to bed..."

"Why?" asked Pinkamena. "So I can have nightmares?"

"No, I..." said May before sighing. "Would you like some... time to think?"

Pinks eyed her and nodded. "That'd be nice."

May smiled and nodded before kissing her cheek. "Come to bed when you're ready, okay?"

The pink mare nodded. "I will. Thank you."

The unicorn patted the pink mare's back before heading inside. Pinkamena watched her leave and then looked up at the moon.

"Oh, sis..." she whimpered.

"Sis?" asked the foal.

"What is it?" asked Pinkie Pie, laying on the couch, watching TV.

"Can you play with me? I'm bored."

"No."

"But..."

"I said... no," replied the pink mare. "Go bug somepony else."

Tears fell from the foal as she trotted off.

Pinkamena circled her sister. "I have a game we could play."

"What?" asked the magenta mare.

"Well, you wanted to know what I've been up to, right?"

"B-But, you always ignored me when I was a foal."

"I was wrong," said the pink mare, placing a hoof on Cherry's shoulder. "And I apologize."

Cherry smiled. "Thanks..." She paused. "So... That game?"

Pinkamena grinned.

Pinkamena tried to shake away the memory of her making Cherry kill their mother.

"She's a slut!" yelled Pinkamena.

Cherry stared down at her mom, knife raised. "I can't!" she cried. "Please, don't make me!"

"Do it!" yelled the pink mare. "She hated you. Resented you. Every time she sees you, she's reminded of she failed our family. She betrayed us! Now, kill her!"

The mother whimpered as Cherry cried. "I... I..."

"KILL HER!!!"

Cherry sobbed loudly and brought the knife down. She then began to repeatedly stab the mare beneath her, sobbing while doing so.

Pinks closed her eyes. "I'm so sorry, sis..."

Lunch Time

May sat down on the couch and looked at the empty seat next to her. She smiled as she remembered moments with her sister. Just then Pinkamena came downstairs and went into the kitchen.

"Morning," the pink mare said cheerfully.

"What's gotten you into such a good mood?"

"We get married..." said Pinks, her head in the fridge. She then pulled it out and set down a hay burger. "...in two days."

May smiled. "Yes, we are... and, I have to be honest... I never thought it'd be you..."

The pink mare opened a microwave and put the burger in. "I know what you mean..." she said, setting the timer to 30 seconds. "After everything that's happened to us... even I'm surprised..." May's breath caught for a moment, hearing Pinks talk about her past. The pink mare noticed her silence and looked over her shoulder. "I'm fine, May. Really..."

"Fine?" asked the red mare. "You mean you're over it?"

The pink mare smiled lightly and nodded. "That old life killed both our sisters... I don't want anything to do with that again..."

The red mare got up with a smile and trotted over to her. "You made a lot of progress... I'm so proud of you..." she said, nuzzling the pink mare's cheek.

Pinkamena nuzzled back before the two parted. May then leaned in and kissed her, the pink mare kissing back. They held it for a moment before May pulled away.

"I love you, May..."

"I love you, too, Pinks..."

Pinkie smiled and nuzzled her. "So, what are the plans for today?" she asked.

"Well... we could go on a date... thing..." May suggested. "I-I mean we're already getting married, but..."

Pinkie smiled. "That sounds nice. Where would we go?"

May smiled back and thought for a moment. "We could go out for lunch..."

The pink mare nodded before tilting her head. "Speaking of food... Our wedding dinner."

"What about it?" asked the red mare.

"Well, I wanted to invite Zach and Kat, but... h-has Zach been found?"

May sighed and shook her head. "Kat's still looking... She's pretty upset..."

"Well, of course she is..." said Pinks. "Those two had a thing, didn't they? It's like they were meant for each other."

"Like us," said May with a smile, nuzzling her cheek.

Pinks smiled and nuzzled back. "I hope he's found soon..."

"So do I..." the red mare agreed, before pulling away. "Now... Let's eat."

The two mares were seated at one of the more casual restaurants, looking around.

"Not that busy..." Pinks observed.

May smiled. "Good. Makes it quieter."

Just then a waitress trotted over to them. "Need any drinks to start off?"

May smiled. "Water, please."

The pink mare nodded. "The same," she said, eyeing the ponies in the building.

The waitress smiled and left as May eyed Pinkamena.

"Pinkie?" she asked. The mare didn't seem to hear her. She then placed a hoof on the mare's. Pinks then quicklky looked at her, but not seeming startled. "You okay?"

The pink mare smiled. "Fine. Why?"

"Nothing, you... were just scanning the room..."

Pinks chuckled nervously. "Oh..."

May gently rubbed her hoof. "Still have some of the instincts?"

Pinkie smiled and nodded. "Yeah... There's 5 waitresses and 3 waiters on duty, 40 tables, 10 of which are taken, 6 visible exits from the front... and 2 of the lamps need a new bulb."

May smirked and leaned back in her chair. "You saw all that?"

"It was something I was very good at... I always knew where everything was in any room... and I always planned an escape route."

"Pinks, I... don't think you should be bringing this up--"

"It's fine, May. Like I said... I'm over it."

May gave her a smile and nodded. "Good."

The waitress came back with their drinks and set them down. "There you go. You two look at the menu, yet?"

"Oh..." said May. "Uh, Not really, we--"

"Yes," Pinks interrupted. "I'll have a hay burger with ketchup and fries. May, sweetie... how about a salad? You like those, right?"

May smiled. "Mmm... and maybe some fries, too..."

"What kind of dressing? Ranch? Cheddar? Ginger? Sweet?"

May raised an eyebrow. "Ranch..."

The waitress smiled and nodded, taking their menus and leaving, May staring at Pinks.

"You remember the menu?" she asked. "When'd you see it?"

"When we walked in... "

"That was like 5 seconds..."

"I'm a quick reader... and a faster learner," said Pinks with a smile.

May chuckled. "Wow... You're interesting. What was the color of the dress in the magazine next to the one we picked out?"

"Red... No, wait... That was the one below it. The one next to it was yellow."

May chuckled and took a sip of her water. "Nice..."

The two ate their lunch and joked around, having a wonderful time until it was time to pay the check. Once they did, they got up and left, heading back towards their home.

"Well, that was great," said May, nuzzling Pinks.

"Mmm... Sure was..." she cooed, nuzzling back. She then sighed. "I really wanna know what happened to Zack..."

3 Years Ago...

Zach coughed as he opened his eyes, looking around. He found himself strapped to a chair in a dark room, the only source of light was from a light bulb hanging above his head.

"Wh... Where the hell am I?"

"With me..." cooed a light voice.

Zack looked to his right and saw a pink mare in the shadows, her face hidden.

"What?" he asked, shocked. "Pinkamena?!"

"No..." said the mare stepping into the light. "Cherry."
