My Little Pony: Ignorance is Bliss

Disclaimer: I do not own My Little Pony

" G-g-g-g-g-Gilda?" Fluttershy gasps putting her hooves over her eyes.

" Ain't she the griffon who used to pick on everypony?" Applejack asks.

" We should go tell Princess Cadence right away." I say pushing my magenta mane out of my eyes with my hoof.

" Which one of us will go to the cemetery to meet her? She said to come alone." Honey Flower asks.

" I should. I'm the only pony who could reason with her." Rainbow Dash says.

" What if this is some kind of a trap?" Applejack asks.

" I can put an invisibility spell on every pony else just in case something goes wrong." Twilight Sparkle says.

" How are we going to come up with the fifty thousand bits for the ransom?" Thunder Wing asks.

" We don't have that kind of money. We could probably just gang up on her." I say.

We stand outside the gates of the cemetery. Twilight's horn glows and all my friends invisible. My mane billows in the bitter autumn breeze. I make sure the letter and the fifty thousand bits are still in my saddlebag. I open the gate and stare ahead. I can see graves from as far as the eye could see. Even though I know that my friends are right behind I feel like I'm alone. I wish I could see every pony.

" When I die, I hope some pony will plant lots of flowers by my grave." Honey Flower says.

" I don't want to be buried in the ground with all that dirt. I would want my body frozen into a statue." Rarity says.

" When ah die, ah want to be buried at home. There ain't no place I'd rather be than home sweet home. Maybe my body would help the apple trees grow." Applejack says.

" I want to be brought back to life as a ghost so I can scare every pony." Rainbow Dash says.

" I would want my body to be used for experiments. That way, people could learn from me even when I'm not alive." Twilight says.

" I don't care what happens to me after I'm dead but I don't want to die a long painful death. I want to die in my sleep or something." Fluttershy says.

" I don't think we're going to die. I'm ready to kick some feathery griffon butt." Thunderwing says.

" No pony dies in children's TV shows. They just put cemeteries in them for a creepy atmosphere." Pinkie Pie says.

" Pinkie! You broke the fourth wall again!" Twilight says.

" What is the fourth wall?" I ask stomping my hoof.

" Can we take care of one mystery at a time, Sprinklejinx?" Thunderwing says.

I see a shadow up ahead. The thought of some pony watching me lingers in my mind as I drag my hooves against the grass. I hear wings flapping through the night sky. I stop in my tracks and shutter. Every pony else stops and I hear a loud thud from behind me. My heart skips a beat. I swallow my fear and turn around. One of the graves are flipped over.

" Whoops! I forgot I had hooves." Derpy says from several feet away.

" Shhh! Be quiet. I hear some pony coming!" I say.

" Whaaaaat?" Derpy hooves says loudly.

" I have the fifteen thousand bits you asked for. Now where's Princess Cloudstar?" I say.

" Show me the bits first then you may have your precious princess." Gilda says. I hesitate for a few seconds and then throw her the bag of bits.

" Now here she is…" She says in a maniacal tone. She lets out a loud call and a large flock of griffon cover the dark sky. I levitate my shovel into the air and swing it at Gilda. The tip of her beak chips off and falls into the grass. I give it a second swing knocking one of them right out of the sky. Four griffons dive from the sky with a sack trapping me inside. Then I feel a baseball bat hit me over the head and pain shoots through my head. I drift out of consciousness.
