(Chapter 1) The Pink In a Rainbow

It was a rainy day in Equestria. All the ponies were inside at their cozy beds expect for a few fillies playing next to twilight’s house. They seemed to enjoy the rain.

Pinkie was sitting at her window inside Sugarcube corner watching the 3 fillies jumping around and laughing not caring about getting wet. She clearly remembered that, when she was a filly herself she enjoyed it just as much as they seemed to do. She always enjoyed playing in the rain. The more rain the better. She loved to play this one game she made up; were you had to look up at the sky and just simply try not to close your eyes. She played it for hours every time it was raining. She loved it for the reason that you didn’t need friends for this special little game. That was her favorite part. At that time Pinkie didn’t have many friends, luckily that had changed.

As Pinkie were dazing of in her memories she smiled and thought back at the time she was sick. Many years ago after playing her favorite game in the rain, she got a cold. A bad one. She had to stay in bed all day, and according to Pinkie Pie, that’s a very boring game. But the one thing that changed all that was when her friend Rainbow Dash appeared in all her glory outside Pinkies window. She had her wings flapping around trying to stay still in the air. Pinkie would jump over to the window and open it.

“Rainbow Dash” she yelled with the biggest smile a filly could have.

“Yeah, Hi Pinkie. I heard you had a cold so I decided to check on you”

Pinkies eyes were filled with joy.

“Thankyouthankyouthankyou!” She repeated while dragging Rainbow Dash inside.

And that was the start of the most special day of Pinkies life. They would sit up all night and talk about.. Well. Everything! Pinkie always had something on her heart. Actually the day after she started to call Rainbow Dash “Dashie” oddly enough the proud pony never commented on that. While Pinkie sad there at the window a tear ran down her cheek. “Dashie” she whispered to herself while working her way back to her bed.

The next morning was bright and sunny. If you hadn’t experienced the storm yesterday you would never have guessed it had rained so much. It was dry all over Equestria. Pinkie woke up by the sound of ponies laughing outside. It was 8 am. Pinkie was surprised. She always wakes up at around 6 am. “Oh well” she smiled and bounced out of her bed and went downstairs. Another fun day for Pinkie Pie to enjoy.

After fixing her mane with a brush and some shaking she went outside and decided to give Rarity a visit. She was the closest to the sugargube corner after all. While she was happily bouncing her way over there, she stopped by the sound of a familiar voice.

“Good morning Pinkie”

She looked back and saw her best friend Rainbow Dash with a bag of apples.

“Dashie!” She screamed with joy, so loud everpony in the area looked their way.

“Quite now Pinkie Pie” She chuckled.

“Oh sorry” she quickly said with a very low voice.

”Where are you going with those apples?” She noticed that she actually had 2 bags around her body.

“I was just quick heading over to Applejack to deliver some of these green apples. It seems she is overstocked with the red apples” She said while looking at the store where she just bought the green fruity apples.

“Hey, wanna come with me?” Rainbow asked.

“Do funky donkies like jazz?” She happily replied.

“Uhm. Is that a yes?” Rainbow Dash looked very confused.

“Of course they do silly. I once saw 2 donkies at a party going crazy over som-“

Rainbow Dash was wise enough to break in.

“Yeah. Let’s get going. We don’t want to upset AJ”

Pinkies mind quickly rushed through the thoughts of Rainbow Dash calling Applejack “AJ” She didn’t like it when she called her that. But she managed to keep her smile up.

“Yes of course. Let’s gooo” she said while jumping in the wrong direction.

“Uhm.. Pinkie. It’s this way”

Pinkie quickly looked around.

“Hmm. Okey Dokey Lokey” She replied and started jumping in the right direction.

After a few minutes of walking Pinkie couldn’t stand the silence anymore.

“So Dashie. Do you remember the time where I was sick? I think it was a cold or something” Pinkie didn’t want to give the perfect details sending the signal she has thought about that event a’lot.

“Oh, you mean the time where I visited you and we talked all night? Yeah. That was fun. But you really talked a’lot despite your cold” Rainbow Dash smiled.

“But I just love talking to you Dashie. How can anypony not love talking with the popular Rainbow Dash” Pinkie had a huge smile on her face.

“Aw come on Pinkie. Don’t make me blush”

Pinkie took a deep yet silent breath.

“But hey Dashi-“ again she was interrupted

“We are here. Now let’s go check to see if we can find AJ” Pinkie’s smile quickly faded.

She looked down in the ground for a second and took another deep breath

“Yup. She’s probably working outside as usual” And she sure was.

Applejack was outside next to her brother moving some barrels.

“AJ. I got your apples” Rainbow Dash yelled, While flying over towards her.

“That’s just mighty great. Thank you Rainbow”

Pinkie had stooped walking at the moment Rainbow Dash started flying. She just looked at Rainbow Dash talking to Applejack. She turned around and started walking home.

“Pinkie! Where are you going?” Rainbow Dash had noticed she was walking away.

“I got something for you!”

Pinkie brightened up and ran towards Rainbow Dash. She stopped a few inches before her face

“What is it, what is it?” Rainbow Dash had a grin on her face.

“A challenge. You see those apples over in those 2 baskets there? AJ just gave them to us. And I don’t feel like carrying them home. So what about a little game?” Pinkie was all ears.

“Whoever eats all the apples in the basket first, wins. Are you up for it?” Rainbow Dash was spreading her wings. She always loved to compete.

“But what does the winner get?” Pinkie whispered, but loud enough for Rainbow Dash to hear.

“The winner gets to decided what we should do the rest of the day”

Pinkie Pie was jumping up and down shouting “Yay! I will win, I will win!”

Rainbow Dash quickly flew over to the 2 baskets and placed one in front of Pinkie and one in front of herself. Pinkie was now in her serious mood. She really wanted to win this.

“Are you ready?” Pinkie didn’t even answer she just placed her head in front of the basket filled with shiny red apples. Rainbow Dash did the same.

“Ok. 3.. 2.. 1..”

“Pinkie. Do we really have to be here? I don’t think it’s safe.”

“Hey. I won. Now don’t be such a scaredy pony”

Sure enough. Pinkie had won, and they were now both in the middle of the evergreen forest.

“What are we doing her anyway?” Rainbow Dash said while looking around nervously.

“Oh. You’ll see.” With those words out of her mouth she quickly took a pile of mud and threw it at Rainbow Dash.

Without Rainbow Dash noticing she got the thick mud right in her face. First then Rainbow Dash noticed there were mud all around them. Rainbow Dash just stood still for a moment.

“Pinkie.. How could you?”

Pinkie Pie was frozen. Did she hurt Rainbow Dash?

“Dashie.. I’m sorry. I-“

*Splat*

Pinkie fell to the ground. Mud covering her eyes.

“Haha. Right back at ya’” Rainbow Dash was laughing.

Pinkie got up. “Oh, you wish you never had done that”

She quickly took another pile of mud and threw it at Rainbow Dash. But this time she was ready and evaded it.

“Ha. Missed me” she said while grapping more mud from the ground.

These two playmates were now playing around in mud. Dirty as ever. Time went by, and the bright light faded to a dark cold afternoon. While Pinkie was grapping some more mud she noticed it was getting late.

“We better get going. I don’t like being here at night.” Rainbow Dash was grasping for air.

Pinkie was really good at this mud game.

“Yeah. You are probably right” Pinkie sighed. “I wish we could play some more though.”

Rainbow Dash were looking around at the tress that were so bright and fresh a few hours ago were now looking old and dark.

“Alright let’s go”

But before they were able to take one step a howling sound were heard. Both ponies looked at each other nervously.

“A wolf?” Rainbow Dash let out.

That question was quick to answer itself. Behind one of the big trees close to Pinkie Pie, a shadow appeared. Pinkie was quick to jump behind Rainbow Dash.

“What..” Pinkie couldn’t finish the sentence when a little dog shaped creature was visible.

Though it looked mad Pinkie didn’t see it as a threat and happily jumped up and said “Hello” with a big smile. Rainbow Dash looked nervously as Pinkie bounced over towards the little creature.

“Are you lost little friend?” Pinkie was now standing right in front of the unknown animal.

But before any of the ponies had time to react the creature jumped towards Pinkie Pie. Pinkie was lucky enough that her random flapping with her hooves hit the creature away. Pinkie was scared, only able to move slowly backwards. Pinkie looked at Rainbow Dash.

“Watch out!” Rainbow Dash screamed while running towards Pinkie Pie.

Pinkie got so scared that she just fell to the ground, closing her eyes. Rainbow Dash had flew over Pinkie Pie and smashed one of her hooves right in the creatures face. That didn’t seem to help a’lot though. The animal that were now looking as mad as ever jumped towards Rainbow Dash and bit her in her right front leg. Rainbow Dash that was airborne shook her hoof violently until the creature had nothing to do but to let go. Pinkie Pie were still lying on the ground but had observed Rainbow Dash’s bravery. The creature seemed to have had enough and ran away. Pinkie quickly reacted and jumped up and cheered

“Yay! Rainbow Dash!”

Rainbow Dash smiled proudly for a moment before she fell to the ground.

“Rainbow Dash. What is it?” She nervously asked.

Rainbow Dash were just lying there.

“Dashie?” she whispered.

To her horror she saw that Rainbow Dash had passed out. Without saying a sound Pinkie quickly placed her on top her back and started running.

“Oh no. What have I done?” Pinkie cried while running as fast as she could with her friend on her back.

Her heart was beating as fast as her hooves were running. Tears were running down her eyes.

“I’m sorry Dashie. I- I love you.” She could barely talk.

“I love you Dashie!” She let out a crying sound.

When ponyville finally came in sight, she speeded down a little. There was nopony around to help. She just kept running at a low speed trying to find her way home. At the time she saw her home she realized how heavy Rainbow Dash actually was. Pinkie let out a final tear and jumped inside sugarcube corner, running upstairs and placed Rainbow Dash safely on her bed. She was breathing. Pinkie fell to the floor exhausted from all the running. She quickly came to her senses and got up. She looked at Rainbow Dash’s body, trying to find any wounds or cuts. It was hard since they were both very dirty.

“I’m.. Sorry. I thought-” Pinkie was now placing Rainbow Dash more comfortable on the bed.

Without caring for all the dirt getting all over, she pushed her to edge of the bed, so she could lay next to her. She didn’t know what to do. They now both laid motionless in Pinkies bed. All that could be heard was Rainbow Dash’s breathing.

“Dashie” Pinkie cried while gently hugging her.

She placed her head over Rainbow Dash’s shoulder. Though her heart still pounding away, Pinkie quickly feel asleep.

“Pin- Pinkie?”

Pinkie Pie opened her eyes wide open. She saw Rainbow Dash lying next to her with her eyes open wide as well. Pinkie let out a tear.

“What happened” Rainbow Dash said with a low coughing voice.

“I’m- I’m so sorry Dashie”

They were both extremely tired. There went minutes before Rainbow Dash replied

“its okay… Thank you.. Pinkie”

Pinkie Pie started crying. She hugged her even tighter by now.

“Pinkie. My- my leg hurts”

Pinkie Pie quickly jumped out of the bed and searched again for any wounds around her leg.

Nothing to see.

She dusted off some mud covering a small part of Rainbow Dash’s leg. Rainbow Dash let out a moaning sound. Like she was in pain. And there was a reason.

Pinkie saw that a under the thick mud a deep cut was bleeding down her leg. Pinkie just stood there next to Rainbow Dash, examining her leg.

“Oh.. No” Pinkie whispered.

There was little tooth just under the cut.

“Oh no” Pinkie said again.

She saw first now that Rainbow Dash’s blood was purple. Not red. Everything seemed unreal. Pinkie knew what had happened but she wouldn’t believe it. The creature that bit Rainbow Dash must have been from the poisoned animal “Drutaa”

Rainbow Dash shivered.

“What is it Pinkie?”

She wouldn’t answer. But she had to.

“Your leg… Is infected with deadly poison”

There was no reason telling her from what creature the poison came from, she knew Rainbow Dash had no idea about animal life in the evergreen forest.

Pinkie placed herself in front of the bed.  Just looking inside of the bloody wound. Pinkies mind went through with what she knew were going to happen.

“There is no cure”

“It is my fold”

“Dashie… Is going to die”

these were her thoughts. But her mouth was just mumbling noises. Pinkie started crying heavily.

“I must get some help” she said.

But before she could move Rainbow Dash turned around

“Wait” She looked straight into her eyes.

“Please Pinkie. Stay with me” Rainbow Dash seemed surprisingly calm.

“But-“ Pinkie couldn’t finish her sentence.

Rainbow Dash eyes were fading away.

“No. This isn’t happening” Pinkie thought while nervously looking at Rainbow Dash.

“Hey Pinkie-“

Pinkie Pie was surprised she had enough energy to talk.

She closed her eyes before she cried out; “What?”

Rainbow Dash smiled.

“I love you too”

Pinkie that was standing sitting next to her friend on the bed now opened her eyes widely.

“…Dashie?” She said silently.

She looked at her best friend. She was laying there motionless with her eyes closed. She wasn’t breathing. Pinkie smiled for a second then started to cry again.

She bent her head over at Rainbow Dash… And kissed her on the forehead. Thinking of all the memories they have had together. All the times Rainbow Dash had helped Pinkie Pie trough some rough times. And when Pinkie had kissed Rainbow Dash on the mouth and clamming it was an accident. Rainbow Dash had always been her best friend.

Pinkie looked at the beautiful pony just laying there.

“Thank you Dashie”

(Chapter 2) The Purple In a Rainbow

“Twilight! Wake up!”

It was early morning. Bright outside like it was almost every day in Equestria.

Twilight responded without opening her eyes.

“What is it Spike?” She said with an annoyed tone.

Twilight was prepared for the usual answer. It was “Somepony is here to loan a book” or “You are late for something” and what do you know, it was exactly that.

“Pinkie Pie is here to loan a book” Spike said like it was the first time.

The little dragon have had a ’lot of energy lately. And Twilight as usual has had the perfect amount of energy all week. Enough energy to schedule her meetings and read some books. But not so much energy that she couldn’t sleep. She always falls right onto her bed and seconds later she’d be sleeping.

“I’ll be right there” Twilight said while stretching her body.

After a surprising low amount of time she was up and got downstairs to meet Pinkie Pie.

“GOODMORNING TWILIGHT” Pinkie said while walking around in circles in the library.

“Morning Pinkie. What kind of book are you looking for?” Twilight had by now found a list of all her books so she could be prepared with whatever book Pinkie would mention she would have an answer to whether she had it or not.

Pinkie still looking around the library with squeezed eyes, but still a big smile. Pinkie still hadn’t told anybody about Rainbow Dash’s death. It had only been one day though, and she wouldn’t want to make everypony feel sad.

“Well. I’m looking for a book about… Ehm” Pinkie had trouble with saying what kind of book she was actually looking for.

“What is it? You need to loan another book about cupcake recipes?” Twilight chuckled.

Pinkie stopped and looked at twilight with a wide bright smile “No, silly filly. I have enough of those” Pinkie took a quick breath “I am looking for a book about the wild creatures around the everfree forest”

Twilight took a look at her list.

“Why do you need a book like that” She said almost automatically.

What Pinkie most wanted to say was “It’s not any of your business” but she shook that thought away.

“Well. Yesterday I saw this blue rabbit, and I wondered how a rabbit can be blue. So I thought I would look it up” That was something Twilight understood.

“What a wonderful idea. And I can see here on my list we have a big collection on w-“ Twilight was interrupted by a yelling coming from upstairs.

“Twilight. I found a book under your bed. Do you want me to put it back in its place? Wait... This is my photo album?”

Twilight was quick to respond “Oh. I just… Needed to check something” She said with a nervous voice.

“But wha-“

“Not now Spike! Put it back!” She said strictly.

Spike rolled his eyes “I don’t know what you want with it anyways. It’s just filled with pictures of Rarity” then placed the small book back next to Twilights bed.

“Sorry about that Pinkie. Now where was I?” Twilight looked around the room for a while.

Pinkie Pie was gone. She had left while Twilight was occupied.

“Where did she go?” Twilight thought to herself. “And did she take a book with her?”

Twilight noticed there was a small pile of books lying next to the table placed in the center of the library.

She just stood there thinking for a while, then started to clean up the mess. After a few minutes she was placing the last of the books on their shelves.

“I think I’m going back to bed again” She said while yawning. “Uhm. Spike? Can you go for short walk or something?” Twilight squee’d.

“Why?” Spike was quick to respond.

Twilight thought for a moment “I need you to pick something up from Fluttershy. Some ehm… Feathers!”

Sure Twilight. I’ll be on my way. You weird pony” Spike whispered while going out the door.

-

Drutaas are located in the everfree forest. They tend to build their homes near cliffs or high trees. They eat small instincts and if in need of food they tend to eat fruit.

Pinkie Pie was reading in the little book she stole. She had ran home in less than a minute from Twilights library.

“I got you now” She thought to herself while smiling.

She had been reading the book for a few minutes trying to locate the creature “Drutaa” Her heart was filled with vengeance after the violent creature had killed her love, Rainbow Dash.

These small creatures are quite and friendly. Only when cornered they might turn aggressive.

Pinkie Pie closed her eyes. “Friendly?.. You call that murderous monster friendly?!” She yelled while closing the book. “I’m gonna kill you!”

The bright sun had turned into a bright moon. The busy streets had turned into a silent road.

And Pinkie Pie’s fluffy mane had turned into straight, hanging hair. Every step Pinkie Pie took brought her closer to her location.

Closer to the everfree forest.

She had by now traveled outside ponyvillie and only a few steps away from the forest.

A small yelling was heard, but ignored. Pinkie could feel the adrenaline running through her body.

“Dashie. I wanted to marry you…” She told herself.

“We were going to be together until you were READY to die!” Anger was now her main feeling.

“But that little fucker wanted it otherwise!”

She had by now reached the everfree forest. Dark tress surrounding her, and only a few birds were heard.

“They build their homes at cliffs or high tress” she remembered reading in the book.

“I better start where the whole event happened”

she worked her way over a few small rocks and branches. She started to remember her surroundings.

The purple-like tree. The high grass. Yeah, this was the place. That being confirmed when she saw the mud pile where they were playing. Pinkie could feel a tear about to appear, but she shook it off and kept on walking.

“Now where are you, you little piece of shit?” she practically yelled.

“Go on. Make your little howling noises”

The moon was rising. Nighttime must be starting. Pinkie had been walking around in the dirt for about 20 minutes now. Still no sign of the creature, any creature for that matter. But Pinkie wasn’t one for giving up. Hell, she has had a crush on Rainbow Dash for several years. Some filthy creature couldn’t bring Pinkie optimism down.

After another step in the wet grass a noise suddenly appeared. It came from behind some tall trees.

Without thinking Pinkie quickly ran towards the noise and rushed behind the trees.

3 creatures appeared at the bottom of the tall, gray tree. It was 3 Drutaa’s.

“Now. Did any of you kill Dashie?” she whispered in an almost maniac voice.

She didn’t wait for a respond. She quickly stomped her hoof down on the smallest Drutaa on the left.

Bones cracking and blood spraying around. Pinkie was ready to give the same faith to the 2 others.

But as she read, the 2 Drutaas were now in defense mode with their teeth showing.

They were both the size of an average dog. One of them leaped towards Pinkie and scratched her on the side of her neck. The pain was unbelievable but the anger rushing in the pink pony was far larger than the pain. Right at the moment the creature landed Pinkie grabbed the skin of her foe’s back leg and made a sudden twist to toss it away. It landed hard and couldn’t get up.

The remaining Drutaa was backing up while making some alarming noises.

There it was.

She had noticed that that Drutaa in front of her was the Drutaa that killed her friend. She could see it by the creature missing a tooth. It had to be the owner of the tooth she found at Rainbow Dash’s wound.

“There you are” Pinkie said while nearing the defend less creature.

“PAYBACK!” Pinkie screamed while lifting her upper buddy to smash it down with full force in the center of the creature. With its last breath it made some screaming noises

“Twilight I got some of the feathers you asked for!” Spike had just entered the door to the library.

“Oh, that’s eh.. Great. Thanks Spike” Twilights was lying in her bed.

“Yeah. I even saw Pinkie on the way. I tried calling her but I guess she didn’t her me” Spike was placing the bunch of feathers on the table next to Twilights desk.

“Pinkie? She has been acting strange lately. And that book” Twilight got up and started walking around.

“I think something happened between her and Rainbow Dash, cause’ usally she goes around telling everypony how awesome she is” Twilight started organizing books.

“Yeah” Spike said while climbing the latter to get to 2nd floor. “What is up with that anyway? You think she haves a crush on her?” Spike started to laugh while climbing up the last pair of steps.

“Spike! What’s so funny about that? If I remember right you have a pretty big crush on Rarity” Twilight was slightly annoyed.

“But I’m a male. It’s natural. 2 mares liking each other is just.. Weird”

Twilight stopped and closed her eyes. “Yes. A mare liking another mare is not easy” Her head now falling down a little “Not easy at all”

“Riiight” Spike said while clearing his bed. “But I guess Pinkie is just being random like all the other times”

Twilight didn’t respond. She just slowly worked her way towards her bed.

“Well. Goodnight” Spike yawned.

*BRM* “WHAT WHAT?” Spike jumped out of bed.

“Relax jumpy, I just dropped a book” Twilight said with a grumpy undertone.

Spike stretched while moaning “Is it morning already?”

“Mhm” Twilight was far too busy to actually listen to what Spike said. Twilight was running around lifting a bunch of book with her magic.

“Ehm. Twilight, what are you doing?”

“I got up early; I just couldn’t sleep thinking about Pinkie Pie. Something is up and I want to find out what”

Spike rolled his eyes “Why do you always have to be some dramatic? If Pinkie is in fact in love that may be the reason she has been acting so weird lately” Spike got out bed and went over to check the time.

“That might be true. But I am heading over to Fluttershy to ask her more about this. She and Rainbow Dash share a ‘lot together”

Spike looked at the clock placed on top of a shelf nearby. “But it’s only 7:30. Do you think she’s up at this time?”  Spiked looked rather surprised that it was this early.

“Only one way to find out” Twilight said and ran out of the door.

“Wait!” Spike yelled. “Who’s gonna clean up this mess?!”

But the pony was already gone.

“All the time” Spike said and slowly started cleaning up.

It was cold outside. And still a little dark even though it was around summer time.

Twilight had been running towards Fluttershy’s house. You could see through the windows that a few ponies were waking up and getting ready for the day. But Twilight noticed one house especially; Rarity’s boutique.

“I wonder if Rarity has awoken” She thought to herself.

That thought was washed away when Fluttershy’s house appeared. And sure enough she could see Fluttershy working outside waking up the animals. Twilight decided she could walk the rest of the way.

A few seconds later she was inside Fluttershy’s house drinking some juice.

“Thanks for the juice Fluttershy” Twilight said before taking a sip.

“Oh, it’s nothing. So why have you visited me so early?” Fluttershy said while placing herself in front of Twilight. “Not that I mind” She didn’t want to sound rude.

“Well. Lately Pinkie Pie has been acting weird”

Twilight was explaining the whole situation to Fluttershy.

“So I want to know if you have been talking to Rainbow Dash lately?”

“Now that you mention it. I haven’t seen her lately. I wonder if-” Fluttershy stopped.

“No. Never mind” Fluttershy hid behind her hair.

Twilight seemed confused “What? Is there something wrong” she said with a calm voice, expecting she probably had some problems with Angel.

That bunny is often cranky. But the answer she got was way worse.

“Well you see. This morning just an hour ago one of the animals took me into the everfree forest. He apparently had something to show me. And uhm..” Fluttershy bit her lower lip, while Twilight wanting to finish her sentence. “And there was 2 dead animals, and a wounded nearby. I believe.. I believe it was Drutaa’s” Fluttershy shed a tear.

Twilight was completely overtaken. She searched for words to say. “I eh-“ Nothing.

“It was so horrible” Fluttershy continued. “There was blood everywhere” She tried to keep talking but the words just turned into little crying sounds.

“Could you see how they got killed?” Twilight quickly shook her head. “What a thing to say” Twilight thought to herself.

“Well I..” More crying was heard

“It looked like they were stomped to dead”

Twilight had nothing to say “Who would do such a thing? I know Spike saw Pinkie Pie the other night but she would never-“

Suddenly the door opened with a slam.

“Oh sorry” A little dragon could be seen

“Spike. What are you doing here?” Twilight asked almost as he was a threat.

“Well, I just cleaned up the library and thought I’ll check to see of you still were here” He just finished he sentence when he saw Fluttershy looking as small as ever

“Oh hi Fluttershy. Thanks for letting me loan those feathers yesterday”

Twilight quickly interrupted “Now is not the best time”

First now Spike noticed Fluttershy was crying. “What happened here?” He said with his most confused voice.

“It’s a long story. But actually-“ Twilight had her IDEA face on.

“You can stay her and keep Fluttershy company while I take a visit at Pinkie’s”

“But wha-“ Spike didn’t get a chance to protest

“Great! I’ll come by later and pick you up” and by that she was gone yet again.

Running through the streets was different than it was an hour ago. Ponies were walking and laughing all over. But Twilight had only one thing in mind, reaching Pinkie Pie. And her wish was quickly granted as she stood in front of sugar cube corner.

“Okay, time to figure all this out”

Twilight pushed the door open and saw a friendly face.

“Oh hello Mrs. Cake”

The owner of this bakery was always working, so it was to expected to see her behind the desk

“Oh hi there Twilight. Been a long time since I saw you here” She said while looking straight into Twilight eyes.

“Yeah well-“ Twilight focused her sight elsewhere.

“I have been busy lately. Anyhow, is Pinkie Pie around?”

Twilight was now looking at what seemed to be a cupcake shaped trophy.

“Actually no. She went outside about half an hour ago. Didn’t know why though. Sorry”

Twilight quickly replaced her thoughts. “Oh. Do you mind if I go upstairs and check her room?”

“What a stupid question to ask”

“Oh well. Yeah, I suppose that would be fine” Mrs. Cake had a weird look on her face, but Twilight didn’t seem to care

“Thanks” she said while running up the stairs.

Twilight was stunned by all the pink in pinkies room. She had never been in Pinkie Pies room before, so the amount of pink was a little scary. Pink teddy bears, pink bed, pink walls. But before observing more of the pink items she noticed a book. Her book.

“That is probably the one she lend the other day”

Twilight opened the book with her horn and started flipping through the pages.

She stopped on a specifically page.

Drutaa’s. Drutaas is a well-known creature that lives nearby and in the everfree forest. One of the things that made this creature so popular is that they carry around a deadly poison that can be transferred trough a bite.

Twilight was now convinced that it was Pinkie who killed the Drutaa’s Fluttershy was talking about.

“But why would she do such a thing?” Twilight kept looking around.

Her eyes took an interest to a big chest laying in one of the pink corners. It seemed to have a lock on it.

A very strong lock it seemed after Twilights struggles to break it.

“Nothing a little magic can’t handle” she almost hummed to herself.

And right she were, after a few seconds of Twilights magic ability the lock couldn’t handle more and broke. Twilight didn’t really seem to care that she was invading her friend’s private property; she was way too interested in figuring all this out.

“Now let’s see what she wants to hide so badly”

Twilight had many things running through her head of what it could be. But nothing like this came up.

The first thing she saw was some Rainbow Colored fur of a kind. Then by opening the chest completely;

it revealed a blue pony. Her friend, Rainbow Dash. Twilight let out a scream and jumped back.

She couldn’t believe it. She just found her friend.

Dead.

As startled as she was only one thing was in her mind “I gotta get out of here!”

Her eyes started to water and she could barely move

“Okay okay. Just go downstairs, act like nothing has happened and then figure out what to do” She gave herself a false feeling calmness and slowly moved towards the stairs.

But before could take another, step a voice could be heard from downstairs

“Hey Pinkie Pie you’re back” It was Mrs. Cake greeting Pinkie.

“Yeah yeah. I just needed to take a walk, I’ll be going upstairs if you need me” Pinkie sounded rather sad. But as Twilight realized, there was reasons to be sad.

“Oh Pinkie, there is a little surprise waiting for you upstairs” Mrs. Cake was humming.

Twilight started to panic “Oh no! What do I do? She can’t see me here!.. Magic! I’ll just teleport”

Twilights heart was pounding as she tried to focus on her magic. “Come on COME ON!”

She couldn’t concentrate. She had no other option to give up and think of a new plan. And fast.

“I need to hide”

Twilight could hear Pinkie almost on top of the stairs.

“Where can I hide?!” Twilight searched the room for hiding places.

Without thinking further Twilight jumped into the chest and landed on Rainbow Dash.

Quickly but silently she closed the chest and tried to control her breathing. A few noises could be heard.

It sounded like Pinkie placed herself on her bed. A few creaky noises like a walking on an old wooden plank. Twilight couldn’t think straight. Every thought that entered her mind faded away as the smell of a dead body was piercing her nose. She just laid there in the small chest on top of her motionless friend.

Nothing to do, Twilight began to cry.

“NO! Stop crying, you need to be quite” She yelled in her head.

“Now focus! You need to teleport out of here”

Twilight closed her eyes and started to concentrate on her horn.

The darkness inside the wooden chest was now replaced with a purple light appearing from Twilights horn, making it clear she was lying on top of dead pony.

“Back to the library” she whispered.

One final tear.

She feel on the floor in the middle of her recently cleaned house.

It worked. She had teleported herself home.

She opened her eyes and tried to stand up, but she felt sick and collapsed back on the floor.

She started to shake and a horrible taste floated around in her mouth.

Without any warning she started to puke.

“Spike.. Help me” She cried. Unfortuantly Spike was still at Fluttershy’s home.

With her final energy she used her magic to grab some paper and a pencil.

It was hard to keep the pencil steady but she managed to scribble out some words.

Spike.

Pinkie Pie has killed Rainbow Dash. You need to contact Princess Celestia.

The dead body lies in Pinkies Room, in a chest located near one of the corners.

She barely finished the last sentence before passing out.

“Oh yes. It was a horrible thing, but the punish serves her right” Rarity was talking with her very serious voice.

“I guess you are right” Twilight responded in an equal serious voice.

It had been a couple of days since Twilight found her friend dead in a chest.

Twilight took a sip of the tea in front of her “But I can’t help but to feel guilty”

Rarity lifted one eyebrow “Darling. You did the right thing. And so did Princess Celestia by locking that mad pony up”

Twilight seemed rather unpleased that Rarity referred to Pinkie Pie as “that mad pony”

Everyone in Ponyvillie was convinced that it was Pinkie Pie that killed Rainbow Dash.

“And did you hear how she denied that murdering her?” Rarity continued

“At least step up and take responsibility for your actions”

Twilight closed her eyes. She couldn’t talk seriously when looking Rarity in her beautiful eyes.

“I suppose. She kept saying it was a Drutaa that killed Rainbow Dash and not her”

Rarity had invited Twilight to her boutique to talk about Pinkie. And though Twilight didn’t feel like talking about Pinkie Pie and her actions, she couldn’t refuse to spend time with Rarity.

That’s why they were here, 2 ponies sitting around a table drinking tea and talking about a murderous friend.

“Well, they always make excuses it seems” Rarity said while standing up.

“Want some more tea, dear?”

Twilight noticed that her cup was empty. “Eh, no thanks” Twilight blushed.

“Oh well” Rarity sighed.

“I didn’t invite you over just to talk about Pinkie Pie”

Twilight really tried to focus at what she was saying and not just looking at her lips moving.

She had this habit to forget to listen when Rarity talks. She normally just stands there twitching and just wanting to jump her and kiss her to make her stop talking. She always resisted the urge though.

But this time Twilight barely caught what Rarity was saying.

“No?” She let out.

“I have taken the choice to move. All the drama going on here in ponyvillie is just too much” Rarity said slowly

Twilight froze

“Move? You’re gonna move?!” Twilight felt mad and sad at the same time.

Rarity took a deep breath “But.. I don’t just leave friends behind. So I want you to come with me”

Twilight still siting completely still. What she wanted to do most was to jump in the air screaming YESYESYES! She fought the urge though.

“You sure?” She responded silently.

“Of course dear. You are my friend after all, and there’s nopony I want more than you to join- “

Rarity was interrupted as Twilight had leaned over and kissed her on her moving lips.

Rarity quickly jumped back saying with a high voice “TWILIGHT!”

Twilight looked startled over her own actions. “What did you do that for?!” She sought words to say but nothing came up.

Rarity had eyes wide open “I didn’t mean it like that! I- I think it would be best if you’d leave” Rarity looked away while saying these words.

“Rarity, I am sorry, I don’t know what came over me-“ Twilight was talking fast, trying to explain.

Rarity was still looking away “its fine. Just go now please”

A tear ran down Twilights cheek. “Okay.. I’m sorry” Twilight got up and walked towards the door.

“I- I… see you tomorrow Rarity” Needless to wait for a respond she exited her friend’s house.

“Why do you have to be so foolish Twilight?!” She thought to herself madly.

“I’ll just go home and explain tomorrow. It’s getting late anyway” and by that on her mind, she started walking home. Trying to resist crying.

In vain.

The next morning, Twilight was again up early. She had thought of a good thing to say to Rarity all night.

“Okay, fix yourself up and go explain Rarity the situation”

By the help of some magic she was ready in a few minutes. She opened her door

“Spike. I will be going out for-“ before she could say more she noticed a letter on her doorstep.

She picked it up and started reading

My Dear Twilight,

I am deeply sad by this but I have decided to travel alone. I have already left and I think it would be for the best not telling you were. I didn’t know about your feelings towards me, and unfortunately I can’t say I feel the same way towards you. I will make this letter short as my heart aches with every word I write. I wish you forever happiness and luck. Thank you.

-Rarity

Twilight turned around and walked inside, closing the door behind her. “Spike” She said with tears in her eyes. “Take a letter”
