"That was awesome!" Dash yelled. "Did anypony see that?" she asked, looking around. There was no one around. "Oh." Just then... "Hey, Rainbow Dash." said a familiar voice. Rainbow Dash turned around. "Oh. Hey, Twilight." she said. "Did Pinkie Pie find you?" asked the unicorn. "Yeah." said Dash, sounding a little annoyed by the very thought of it. "She did." "What did she want?" "She planned something fun for us to do over at Sugarcube Corner." "Did she say what it was?" asked Twilight. Dash shook her head. "Nope. She just said it was fun. Really fun." "Really fun, huh?" "Yeah. Nothing else." Dash hesitated, thinking. "Speaking of which, what time is it?" "Last time I checked it was almost three." said Twilight. "Why?" "Whoops!" said Dash, realizing she was late. "Gotta go!" Rainbow Dash landed outside of Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie Pie was waiting for her outside. "Sorry I'm late, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow Dash apologized. "I got carried away with something and completely lost track of the time." "That's okay." said Pinkie Pie. "You're here now." "Yeah." Rainbow Dash let out a fake chuckle. "I am." They entered the shop. It was empty. There was no one inside. "So what's the big fun thing you had planned?" asked Dash. "BAKING!" yelled Pinkie Pie cheerfully. "What?" asked Dash. "That's the big fun thing you had planned?" "Yep." said Pinkie. "There's a cupcake on the table over there for you." Pinkie said, pointing to a table in the center of the shop. Rainbow Dash walked over to it. "So we're gonna bake cupcakes?" asked Dash. "Of course." said Pinkie. "Baking is totally fun!" Dash stared at her. "Is that right?" "Oh, yes, Dashie!" Dash looked down at the cupcake. "So..." she began. "Baking, huh?" she asked, taking a bite of the cupcake. "Yep." said Pinkie Pie. "Or... at least... I'll be baking cupcakes." "What was tha-" Rainbow Dash began to feel a little bit groggy. "Feeling tired?" asked Pinkie Pie. "A little. What was in that--" Rainbow Dash passed out on the floor. "Now that I have new supplies, I can start baking." She let out a giggle. "Oh, Dashie..." She stroked the cyan pegasus' mane. "It's been nice knowing ya." Where's Rainbow? [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Alternate Material in BLUE "Twilight!" called a voice from outside the library. Twilight opened the library door and saw Rarity. "Rarity?" asked Twilight. "What do you want?" "Have you seen Rainbow Dash?" asked the white unicorn. "There was something I forgot to have her try on." "You're the second pony today who's asked me about Rainbow Dash, you know?" "Really?" asked Rarity. "Who was the first?" "Pinkie Pie was looking for her earlier." said Twilight. "Pinkie Pie?" asked Rarity. "What did she want?" "She said they had something planned around three at Sugarcube Corner." "Sugarcube, of course!" said Rarity. said Twilight. "Why did you want her again?" "I have a huge order to fill and I need somepony to try on the different outfits to see how they look." "Well, I hope you get it done on time." said Twilight. "Thanks, Twilight!" Rarity called back. "Glad to help..." said Twilight. "again." Rarity entered Sugarcube Corner. She looked around the shop. No pony was in sight. The unicorn walked further into the shop and stood in the center. "Huh?" said Rarity. "Where are they?" She noticed crumbs on the table in the center of the shop. "Honestly!" she said, disgusted. "Am I the only pony around here who cares about cleanliness?" "So what's going on?" asked Twilight, entering the shop. "Hey." she said, looking around. "Where are they?" "I haven't the faintest idea, Twilight." said Rarity. "You sure Dash said three at Sugarcube Corner?" "Positive." said Twilight. "This is just weird. I distinctly remember her mentioning Sugarcube Corner. And when I mentioned it was almost three she took off." "Odd." said Rarity. "I wonder where they went." "Well, they'll turn up sooner or later." said Twilight. "I hope they turn up sooner rather than later." said Rarity. "I really need Rainbow Dash to model for me." "Why don't you go ask Fluttershy, Rarity?" asked Twilight. "I may have to. I just hope she's available." "Fluttershy's always ready to help." said Twilight. "You know that." "Yeah." said Rarity, thinking back on all the times Fluttershy helped out. "She really is quite the helpful pony, isn't she?" "She sure is." "Well, thanks for the advice, Twilight. I'll go ask her right away." said Rarity, leaving the shop. Twilight watched her leave and took another glance around the room. "I wonder where they went." she thought aloud. "Pinkie!" she called out. She waited for an answer. An answer which never came. She took one last look before heading back outside. "I hope they're alright." she thought aloud. I Can't Decide [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Alternate Material in BLUE Dash awoke and let out a groan. She was still a little groggy from whatever Pinkie Pie put in the cupcake she ate. Dash looked around the room. It was pitch black. She couldn't see a thing. Dash tried to move but couldn't. There was something holding her forelegs and hind legs down. She deduced that she was strapped to a vertical, wooden slab like they used in the olden days to torture people. "What's going on?" Dash asked, not expecting an answer. She got one. "Don't you like the surprise?" Pinkie Pie asked cheerfully. The lights turned on, blinding Rainbow Dash . She closed her eyes tightly as a reflex from the bright lights. "GAH!" she exclaimed. "Pinkie!" Her eyes soon adjusted to the light and she opened them. "Pinkie. What're you..." She stopped when she noticed a table next to Pinkie Pie "Pinkie Pie." Dash said. "What's going on? I thought we were baking." "Oh, we are gonna bake, silly." said Pinkie. "It's just that first I need a few ingredients, is all." "Ingredients?" asked Dash, confused. "You're at Sugarcube Corner! You already have all the ingredients needed to bake cupcakes! What ingredients could you possibly need?!" "You, of course." said Pinkie. "WHAT?!" yelled Dash. "Is this a joke? Tell me it's a joke. You're joking, right?" Dash stopped and thought. "A prank, right?" Dash started to feel better. "This is all a prank, right? Wow! You really got me, Pinkie Pie. Good one." Dash let out a nervous chuckle. "Now, let me go." "Oh, Dash." said Pinkie. "You wanted to bake." "When you asked if I wanted to bake cupcakes back at Suagarcube Corner I didn't think you meant I would literally be baking." "I told you it was to die for." Pinkie said giggling. "Hey! Let's sing a song!" "Excuse me?" asked Dash. "A song?" "Sure!" Pinkie yelled gleefully. "If we sing will you let me go afterwards?" asked the cyan pegasus. "If you want." said Pinkie Pie. "Fine, then." said Dash. "Yippee!" shouted Pinkie Pie with excitement. "Ready?" Dash sighed. "I-i-i-i-i-i-i-it's... no-o-o-o-o-o-t... easy having yourself a good time. Greasing up those bets and betters. Watching out they don't four-letter. Fu--" she paused and looked at Rainbow Dash. "What's the matter? Don't like the song? That's okay. The chorus is my favorite part, too." Dash let out another sigh. "Here we go!" Pinkie Pie said. She cleared her throat and began singing the song's first bridge. "I'm not a gangster tonight. Don't wanna be the bad guy. I'm just a loner, baby. And now you'e got in my way. I can't decide whether you should live or die." Dash's eyes widened. This wasn't Pike Pie's usual cheerful song. "Oh, you'll probably go to heaven. Please don't hang your head and cry. No wonder why my heart feels dead inside. It's cold and hard and petrified." Pinkie picked up a knife from the table. "Lock the doors and close the blinds." she continued singing as she threw the knife at Dash. It hit the wood right next to Dash's head. "We're going for a ride." "Hey!" Dash yelled. "Watch it!" Pinkie paid no attention to Dash's complaint. She continued to the final part of the song. "Oh, I could throw you in the lake or feed you poisoned birthday cake. There's no denying I will miss you when you're gone. Oh, I could bury you alive but you might crawl out with a knife and kill me when I'm sleeping. That's why... I can't decide whether you should live or die..." Pinkie Pie finished up the song and waited for Dash's response. Dash stared at her wide-eyed. The song was really disturbing. Especially for Pinkie Pie. "It was... uh... good." said Dash, lying. "Great!" yelled Pinkie Pie cheerfully. "I'm glad you liked it." "Now, will you let me go?" Dash asked impatiently. "Okay." Pinkie Pie said. She trotted over to Dash, pulled the knife out of the wood, and raised it. "What are you doing?!" asked Rainbow Dash, eyes widening in fear. "Well, I have to let you go, right?" asked the pink mare, a deranged smile on her gace. "I'll stay! I'll stay!" said Dash quickly. "Yay!" said Pinkie. "We get to more time to play." Rainbow And BubblesWhen Rainbow Dash regained consciousness, she saw Rarity. She was strapped to a wooden slab that resembled Rainbow Dash's. Rarity opened her eyes and looked at Rainbow Dash. "Dash?" she asked. "Rarity?" Dash asked. "Yay!" said Pinkie Pie, heading to a door at the back wall. "We're all together. Well... almost." Pinkie opened the door and pulled out a yellow pony with a blue mane. "Bubbles?" asked Rainbow Dash. "So, you know this pony." said Pinkie Pie. "Then this will be even more fun than I thought." The pony was tied up and laying on the floor. Tears filled her eyes. Pinkie walked over to the surgical table and grabbed a scalpel. She then headed over to Bubbles. "What are you going to do?" asked Rarity. "You'll see." said Pinkie Pie, not taking her eyes off of Bubbles. "But Bubbles won't." She drove the scalpel into the eye socket of Bubbles' left eye. She let out a high-pitched scream as Pinkie Pie plucked out her eye. It fell out and rolled on the floor. Pinkie Pie then cut Bubbles' ropes. Bubbles backed against the wall, screaming in pain and holding her empty eye socket. "NO!" Rainbow Dash screamed. "Bubbles." she said more softly. Rarity started to cry. Pinkie Pie stabbed the lose eye with the scalpel. She then held it up to her mouth and licked it. "Mmm." she said. "It's perfect." She set the eye back on the floor and pulled the scalpel free. "But I need one more." She moved towards Bubbles and held up the scalpel. Bubbles held up her hooves to try and block Pinkie. "Come on." said Pinkie Pie. "NO!" screamed Bubbles. "Give me your eye." "NOOOO!" Pinkie Pie slit Bubbles' legs, causing her to pull back. Pinkie Pie then drove the scalpel into Bubbles' other eye socket. "AHHHHHH!" screamed Bubbles. "No." Rainbow Dash cried softly. "Bubbles!" Pinkie Pie plucked out Bubbles' other eye. It fell to the ground a rolled a bit. Bubbles was now crying uncontrollably. "Well, that was fun." said Pinkie Pie. "But you know what? I'm gonna give you a chance. If you can make it out the door in 60 seconds, you can live. Now, go." Bubbles slowly moved forward, feeling around in front of her. She turned a bit to the left and headed towards Rainbow Dash. "Dash?" asked Bubbles. "Over here." said Rainbow Dash. Bubbles felt her way to Rainbow Dash. When she felt Dash's legs she looked up. Rainbow Dash found it hard to look at Bubbles in this condition. "Oh, Bubbles." said Dash. "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." Blood trickled out of Bubbles' eye sockets. It looked like red tears. "Be strong." said Dash. "Who you kidding?" Bubbles asked. "We both know I'm not going to make it. You're the one that needs to be strong." Rainbow Dash's eyes were completely filled with tears. "Time's up." said Pinkie, standing behind Bubbles. She held up the scalpel to Bubbles' neck. "Don't forget me." said Bubbles, still looking up at Rainbow Dash. "Never." said Dash. Pinkie slit Bubbles' throat, spilling her blood all over the floor. Bubbles kept looking up at Rainbow Dash until she was dead. Rainbow Dash looked away and cried. Rarity started to cry, too. "Now to harvest." said Pinkie. No, Not Pinkie PieThere was a knock at the Library door. Twilight opened it and saw the Mayor. "May I come in?" she asked. "Sure.." said Twilight, stepping aside. The Mayor entered and Twilight closed the door. "What's up?" "I have something important tot tell you. It's about the disappearances." "Really?" asked Twilight. "What about them?" "I know who's doing it." "Who?" "It's..." started the Mayor. "I'm not sure how to say this." "Just tell me." "It's... Pinkie Pie." "Pinkie Pie?" asked Twilight. "Yes. I saw her do it. It's what she does." "Does?" asked Twilight. "What does she do?" "I saw her... kill somepony." Twilight's jaw dropped. "She said if said anything, she'd kill me, too." "No." said Twilight. "Not Pinkie Pie." "It doesn't seem likely, does it?" said the Mayor. "But it's true. Your friend is not what she seems. She has another side. A darker side. A side that has taken her over. She's no longer Pinkie Pie. She's become Pinkamena." "Pinkamena?" asked Twilight. "Isn't that her full name?" "Pinkamena is the name she's given her darker, more violent side." "Are you sure?" Twilight asked. "Yes." answered the Mayor. "I'm sorry." Twilight said nothing. "And she has your friends." "What?" asked Twilight. "She has Rainbow Dash and Rarity. If you hurry, you may be able to save Rarity." "What about Rainbow Dash?" asked Twilight hesitantly. "There's no guarantee she's still alive. But you can still save Rarity." "Rarity?" asked Spike coming down the stairs. Twilight turned to look at him. "She's in trouble?" Spike was panicky. "We have to save her." "And we will, Spike." said Twilight. She turned back to the Mayor. "Thank you for telling us. Now, be careful." "I'm already dead." said the Mayor. "I was dead the moment I told you." "Huh?" asked Twilight and Spike in unison. "She hears and knows everything that goes on in Ponyville. I just couldn't take it anymore. I figured if I said nothing, I'd be just as responsible for the deaths as Pinkie Pie. Somepony had to know." "That's very noble of you." said Twilight. "But rest assured, I'll stop her before she can hurt you." "Thank you for trying." said the Mayor, opening the door. "But like I said... I'm already dead." With that, she left. Twilight stood there for a moment before looking at Spike. "We're gonna need some help." Magic TrixTwilight magically appeared in Manehattan. This town was to the south of Ponyville. She looked around her environment to get a feel for where things are. She asked around town and finally found who she was looking for. She entered a run-down looking building. There was a small crowd of ponies gathered in front of a stage. Twilight stayed at the back of the crowd and waited. Soon the lights dimmed and the curtains opened. There was a stool with a magician's hat on top of it. An explosion of smoke appeared on stage. When it cleared, a blue unicorn was standing next to the stool. "Ladies and gentlecolts..." said the unicorn. "watch and be amazed as I, the Great Trixie, perform spectacular magic." She levitated the hat forward so the crowd could see it was empty. She then set the hat back down on the stool and concentrated. She then levitated a bunny out of the hat. She then set it gently on the stage and it hopped away. Trixie performed some more magic tricks as Twilight watched patiently. When the show was over, Twilight stayed behind as the others left. She headed backstage, only to catch a glimpse of Trixie's tail disappearing through a doorway. Twilight followed her through the doorway and ended up outside. Trixie entered a nearby house and closed the door. Twilight approached the front door and knocked. There was a moment before the answer where Twilight felt like Trixie wasn't going to answer. But, them... "Hello?" said a voice. "Trixie." said Twilight. "It's me. Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville." The door opened slightly. Twilight cold see a bit of Trixie's face through the crack. "Ponyville?" asked Trixie. "Wait a minute... You're that unicorn that defeated that Ursa Minor, aren't you?" "Well, yes." said Twilight. "But that's not why I'm here." "Then why are you here?" "I need your help." said Twilight. "Come in." said Trixie. "We'll talk." Trixie headed to the living room. Twilight entered the house and followed Trixie. The living room was an averaged size living room with a purple-ish couch up against the far wall. There was also a rug in the center. "So what's the issue?" asked Trixie. "One of my friends has become psychotic. She's captured two of my friends. One of them is possibly dead. I need your help to save the other one." Trixie's eyes narrowed. "Do you think I'm an idiot?" "What?" asked Twilight, shocked. "No. I--" "No?" asked Trixie. "This is some kind of trick to get me to go back to Ponyville isn't it?" "No." said Twilight insistently. "Look, Twilight." said Trixie. "I don't need to be taught a lesson. I've already learnt my lesson." Her voice started to crack. "I remember it every time I come home." A tear fell from her eye. "I WAS WRONG!" she cried. "ALL RIGHT?! There's nothing I'd like better than to undo what I did but..." She sniffed. "Everypony hates me now. What's the point?" "The point is you can fix it." said Twilight. "If you help me save Ponyville, they're bound to like you again." "Your friend's really gone crazy?" "Yes." "And if I help, Ponyville will like me?" "Don't see why not." said Twilight. Trixie thought for a second before answering. "I'll do it." Raid On SugarcubeTwilight and Trixie stood outside Sugarcube Corner. Just then the Royal Guard appeared. The five guards landed near Twilight. "We got your message." said the Captain. "Let's do this." He led his guards into the building. Twilight and Trixie followed them. It looked normal. "Check the basement." said the Captain. A guard opened the basement door and looked down the stairs. He motioned that it was clear and everyone headed to the basement. It was empty aside from all the paper strewn across the floor. There was table against the far back wall. There was what appeared to be a note on the table. A guard took a step forward. He screamed in pain as a bear trap slammed shut on his leg. He collapsed to the floor as blood squirted out from the wound. One of the other guards tried to open it. It slipped and closed on the guard's leg again, making the cut even deeper. "I'll do it." said Trixie. She used her magic to pry open the trap and levitate it away from the guard. The guard that tried to help helped the injured guard to his feet and back upstairs. "Where's Pinkie Pie?" asked the Captain. "I don't know." said Twilight. "It seemed like she should be here." The Captain let out a frustrated groan and headed back upstairs. The other guards followed him. Twilight used her magic to spring all the remaining traps. There was about eight more. She then walked up to the back table and picked up the note. She read through it and almost dropped it. "Oh, no." said Twilight. "This is not good." "What?" asked Trixie. "What's wrong?" Twilight inhaled deeply. "Pinkie Pie has Fluttershy." Not Fluttershy, Too"Hey everypony!" Pinkie Pie said, opening the basement door. "Look who I found." she said, pushing Fluttershy in. "NO!" yelled Rainbow Dash and Rarity. "Let her go!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Fluttershy saw the state that Rainbow Dash was in and tears started to form in her eyes. "Let her go?" asked Pinkie Pie. "So she can miss out on all the fun?" Rarity looked at the straps that held her in place. Unlike Rainbow Dash's, hers were just plain rope. She pulled as she could. She could feel the rope starting to feel lose. "I wonder how long Fluttershy will last." said Pinkie Pie, holding the scalpel in front of Fluttershy's face. Fluttershy let out a whimper. Pinkie Pie movd the scalpel closer. "Leave... her..." The ropes snapped. "ALONE!" Rarity leaped at Pinkie Pie and knocked her away from Fluttershy. Pinkie Pie looked over Rarity. Her smile had faded and her eyes had narrowed. Her mane was also now hanging flat and not poofy like usual. Her skin tone also got a little darker. "YOU!" Pinkie Pie (now Pinkamena) said. Rarity looked at Fluttershy. "Run!" Fluttershy started to move towards the door. Pinkamena brought her hoof to a button on the wall. She was waiting for the right moment to push it. Rainbow Dash saw what Pinkie was doing and thought about it for a second. "Fluttershy! Wait!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Fluttershy didn't hear her. She continued for the door. As she was almost out Pinkamena pressed the button. The door slammed shut and whacked Fluttershy in the face. She tumbled backwards and lay on the floor. She tried to stand up and saw a red puddle forming on the floor. She reached a hoof up to her nose and felt blood. She brought her hoof down and saw red. Her nose and all around her mouth was covered in blood. "FLUTTERSHY!" yelled Rainbow Dash. Rarity trotted over to her. "Fluttershy?" asked Rarity. "You okay?" Fluttershy said nothing. She just stared at the blood on the floor. Just then Rarity felt a knife in her hip, right by her cutie mark. She fell to the floor, pain shooting through her body. The knife was still inside her. She tried to stand but it hurt too much. Pinkamena stood in front of Fluttershy and held a knife up to her face. "Don't try anything." said Pinkamena. "You behave and I MIGHT let you live." Pinkamena lowered the knife and left the room. The ponies weren't going anywhere soon. Rainbow Dash was still strapped down, Rarity's hip was injured so she couldn't walk, and Fluttershy was too scared to move. Trixie's EscapeTrixie slowly opened her eyes. "Where am I?" she asked. "You're finally awake." said a voice. Trixie looked to her right and saw Rarity. She then looked down and noticed that she was tied to a wooden slab similar to Rarity. "How are my three favorite ponies?" asked Pinkie Pie entering the basement. "And Trixie?" "Very funny." said Trixie beneath her breath. "So, Twilight was right. You have gone insane." "Oh, Trixie." said Pinkie Pie. "Keep it up and I'll have to stab you just like I did to Rarity, here." Rainbow Dash caught a glimpse of the rotting corpse of Bubbles near the back wall and vomited all over the floor. "Oh, Rainbow Dash." said Pinkie Pie. "Somepony's gonna have to clean it up." Pinkie Pie left the room. "So, how'd you get caught?" whispered Rarity. "Twilight asked for my help." Trixie whispered back. "I'm here to help rescue you." "Well, you're doing a fine job." said Rarity. "Will you give me a minute? I have to wait for the right moment." Pinkie Pie reappeared holding a mop in her mouth. She went over to Fluttershy, who was cowering in the far corner, and dropped the mop in front of her. "Clean." she said. "W-w-w-what?" asked Fluttershy. "Rainbow Dash made a mess on the floor. You're gonna clean it up." Fluttershy said nothing. Trixie worked on untying the ropes with her magic. "NOW!" yelled Pinkie. Fluttershy only cowered some more. "THAT'S IT!" yelled Pinkie. Just then Trixie fell to the floor and Pinkie whipped around. "It worked." said Trixie happily. Then she saw the look on Pinkie's face. "Uh, oh." She took off out the door. "Yeah, you better run!" yelled Pinkie, chasing after her. Trixie got to the top of the stairs and ended up in the living room. She looked around for an escape but all she saw was a large glass window in the far wall. She ran to the window and looked out. "Wait." she said, backing up. "I'm not jumping through that." She turned around and stopped. Pinkie Pie was standing in the doorway, Hell's fury burned in her eyes. Without hesitation, Trixie leaped through the window and rolled across the ground outside. She could hardly move. The glass had cut her but at least she was free of Pinkie Pie. She soon passed out from blood loss. Hair Care [NEW SCENE]Pinkamena let out a low growl and headed back downstairs to the basement. She then entered a room just before the basement area itself and closed the door. It was a basic, small bathroom with a mirror over the sink and a shower. The pink mare trotted over to the sink and stared into the mirror. "That damn Trixie..." she spat. "I'll get her." Just then the door creaked open. "Everything all right, Pinkie?" asked a voice. The pink mare looked over her shouler. "Everything's fine. Now, go back upstairs and keep a look-out." "You got it," said the voice before the door creaked shut. Hoofsteps could be heard trotting back up the stairs. The pink mare noticed that her mane was a little messy and let out a low sigh. She trotted over to the shower and turned the water on. When it was hot enough, she turned on the shower head. "Gonna get that... stupid... mare," the pink mare muttered, holding her head under the water for a few seconds before pulling away. She grabbed a thing of hair gel and squeezed it onto her mane. She then set the bottle down and rubbed the gel in, all the while thinking of what she was going to do to Trixie when she got her hooves on her. She then held her head under the water again and rubbed the gel in. When that was done, she pulled back and turned off the water. She then dried her hair and grabbed a comb. Pinks let out a groan as she sat on the edge of the tub, brushing her hair. Just then there was a knock at the door. "Come in," groaned the pink mare. The door opened. "Pinkie?" sked the voice. "Yes? What is it?" "They took Trixie to the hospital." The pink mare chuckled as she brushed. "Of course they did. Standard procedure." "What do want me to do?" "Just leave it to me, okay?" The owner of the voice nodded. "You got it, Pinkie." There was a short pause. "Why do you comb your mane?" "What? Just because I'm a serial killer means I can't look nice?" "I didn't mean it like th--" "It's actually hard work to keep my mane straight and perfect." "Well, it looks nice." Pinks nodded. "Thank you. Now, go. I have work to do." The door closed again and Pinks got up, heading to the mirror. "Looks like I'm going to the hospital," she said with a grin. At The HospitalTrixie awoke in a white room. She looked around and realized she was in a hospital. A nurse pony walked in. "Ah, you're awake." she said. "What happened?" asked Trixie. "You were found in the middle of broken glass. You had lost a lot of blood and passed out. A couple ponies who witnessed the event called us right away." "Where am I?" asked Trixie. "At the hospital in Hoofington." the nurse answered. "Would it be possible to send a message to Ponyville?" "Ponyville?" asked the nurse. "That's a little far." "How about Canterlot?" asked Trixie. "To Princess Celestia?" "Of course." said the nurse. "Every town or city in Equestria has some way to communicate with the princesses of Canterlot. What's the message?" "Tell Celestia to tell Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville this; She's hiding in Hoofington." "She's hiding in Hoofington?" asked the nurse. "To Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville?" "Yes. Please." said Trixie. "And hurry. It's an emergency." "Sure. And get some rest." said the nurse. "You've lost some blood but you're doing much better. You could be walking again in no time." The nurse pony left the room to deliver the message. Twilight paced back and forth in the Library. "What's taking her so long?" asked Twilight. "Not sure." said Spike. "How about we--" He stopped talking. Green flames exploded from his mouth and a scroll appeared. "Finally!" said Twilight, taking the scroll. She opened it in front of her and read it. "She's in Hoofington." "Hoofington?" asked Spike. "All the way over there? Well, guess I better get moving." Trixie couldn't sleep a wink. She was too on edge from what she had seen earlier. Just then the nurse appeared in the door. "You have a visitor." said the nurse. "Says her name is Twilight." "Twilight?" asked Trixie. "Send her in." "Sure." said the nurse. "Twilight." she called down the hall. "You can come in now." Trixie turned her head and stared up at the ceiling. She heard voices in the hallway. "Don't take to long. She needs to rest." Trixie let out a sigh. "Oh, Twilight." said Trixie, looking towards the doorway. "I'm so glad you--" She stopped. "Hey, Trixie." said Pinkie Pie. Her hair was still straight and hanging over her face. "I couldn't wait to see you again." Trixie was too scared to speak. Pinkie Pie stepped up to the edge of the bed. "You thought you could escape from me?" Pinkie asked. "No pony escapes from me. Not you. Not anypony. Get that?" She walked over to a cabinet and opened it. "Let's see what tools they have in here." She looked through the cabinet and found a box filled with plastic knives. They all had a hoop attached to the handle. She slipped her front hoof through the hoop and held up a plastic knife. "Hmm. I could use this." She turned to Trixie. "This is going hurt so much." Twilight appeared in the center of Hoofington. "That was lucky." she said, never teleporting to a place she's never been to before. She saw a pony walking by. "Excuse me." she said. The pony stopped and looked at her. "I'm looking for someone." "Hold still." said Pinkie. "I want to saver this moment." Trixie rolled off the edge of the bed and pressed herself against the back wall. "There's no sense in running." said Pinkie. "I've got you cornered. There's nowhere to go." Twilight entered the hospital and approached the front desk. "Excuse me." she said. "I'm here to see Trixie." "Trixie?" asked a nurse approaching the desk. "She's my patient. Who are you?" "Twilight. Twilight Sparkle." "Twilight Sparkle?" asked the nurse. "That's funny." "What is?" asked Twilight. "Well I just sent a Twilight Sparkle to Trixie's room." "What?" asked Twilight. "Oh, no! What room is she in?" "Uh, 203." said the nurse. Twilight took off down the hall. "Wait!" Twilight rounded a corner. 180. 181. 182. "Trixie!" she yelled. "I'm coming!" Pinkie held Trixie up against the wall. "Time to die." said Pinkie, raising the knife. Trixie levitated the knife upwards, taking Pinkie's fron leg up with it. Pinkie tried to lower her leg but her hoof was caught in the hoop on the knife. She grunted with effort but it was no use. Then they heard a voice approaching. "Trixie!" "Twilight." said Trixie happily. Pinkie whacked Trixie across the face, causing her to lose her concentration. The knife fell and Pinkie pulled it off. "This isn't over." Pinkie said menacingly. She burst out of the doorway as Twilight was approaching. After flashing Twilight an angry look, Pinkie took off down the hallway. Twilight entered the room and found Trixie up against the wall. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." said Trixie. "But right now we have to save your friends." "Right." said Twilight. "Let's go." The Finale"I'm going to give you one last chance to surrender." said Twilight. "Surrender..." thought Pinkie aloud. "Surrender... No, I don't think I will." "Are you sure about that?" "Most definitely." said Pinkie. "I'm not just gonna give up right here and now because some pony doesn't like the way I do things." "The way you do things?" asked Twilight. "You're a mass murderer, Pinkie. That's very frowned upon... Everywhere." "Oh, look at you talk." said Pinkie. "Thinkin' you know everything." "I know that no place welcomes mass murderers." "Maybe not." said Pinkie. "But I'll think of something." "So, you've made your decision, then?" asked Twilight. "Yes, Twilight." said Pinkie. "Yes, I have." "Good." said Twilight, turning and walking towards the door. "Good?" asked Pinkie. "Good?" "Yeah." said Twilight. "It makes doing this a whole lot easier." she stopped at the door. "COME GET HER!" she yelled. "What are you--" Pinkie started. Just then, three Royal Guards burst into the room and tackled Pinkie Pie. Celestia entered the room and stood next to Twilight. "I'm proud of you." said Celestia. "You've led us to Pinkie and you managed to save your firneds and Ponyville." "Thanks, Princess." said Twilight. "But I didn't do it alone." Celestia spotted Trixie. "Trixie." said Celestia. "Your Highness." said Trixie, bowing. "I want to thank you personally for helping out. I understand it must have been hard for you to come back." "Yeah." said Trixie. "It was." "Well, I'm very grateful for all you've done." Trixie smiled as the guards dragged Pinkie Pie outside, kicking and screaming. A Happy Ending?Twilight and Trixie entered the hospital room. "Hey, girls." said Twilight. "Hey, Twilight." Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy said at once. "How you feeling?" asked Trixie. "Getting better." said Rainbow Dash. "And thanks for your help." "Don't mention it." said Trixie. "It was nothing." "Are you kidding?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I could've died. And Fluttershy, too." "There's a present here for you." said the nurse pony, handing Twilight a small box. "What is it?" asked Trixie. "Not sure." answered Twilight. She lifted up the note on the box lid with magic and read it aloud. "Dear friends, I just wanted to let you know that I'm alive and well and traveling Equestria. I'm seeing the sights. I've met some new friends and have a new home. My life is getting back to normal. Thanks. Love, Pinkamena. PS: I still throw some killer parties." Twilight and the others just stared. Not knowing what had happened. Twilight lifted the box lid with magic and looked inside. What she saw made her drop the box. Blood poured out of the box along with an eyeball. My Cutie MarkRainbow Dash and Rarity had their eyes closed since they didn't want to watch what Pinkie Pie was doing to Bubbles' dead body. Pinkie Pie had strung Bubbles' dead body up against the back wall. "Well, that should be enough for now." said Pinkie Pie, setting the scalpel down. Pinkie was nearly covered in blood as was the floor. Bubbles' organs and guts had been collected into a bucket. Pinkie Pie stood up and headed towards Rainbow Dash. She was holding the scalpel in her mouth. When she got to Rainbow Dash, she dropped the scalpel on the floor. She then slid her hoof in the ring attached to the scalpel's handle. Then she raised the scalpel to Rainbow Dash's thigh. "Bubbles gave me a lot of ingredients." said Pinkie Pie. "But I need a little bit more." She kicked a lever on the floor and the slab of metal that Rainbow Dash was strapped to fell backwards and rested horizontally. "What are you doing?" asked Rainbow Dash with tears in her eyes. "I told you." said Pinkie Pie, lining up the scalpel with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. "I need a few more ingredients." Pinkie applied pressure to the scalpel, penetrating Dash's skin. Blood squirted out onto Pinkie's face. Rainbow Dash let out a loud cry of pain. Pinkie Pie continued to cut around Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. Blood was gushing out of the wound as Pinkie Pie peeled the loose skin off of Dash's thigh. Pinkie didn't cut it all the way so the skin was attached to Dash's body by a thin piece of skin. Pinkie yanked as hard as she could, tearing the skin off and brought it over to the bucket of guts. Rainbow Dash was sobbing uncontrollably at this point. She hoped to pass out at any point but figured Pinkie would just shoot her up with some more Adrenaline. Pinkie Pie made her way back to Rainbow Dash and repeated the process on her other thigh. Rarity also had tears in her eyes. She couldn't bear to see her friend in this much pain. Pinkie peeled off the second cutie mark and hit the lever on the floor. The metal slab slowly raised back up to its original position. Then Pinkie dropped the piece of blue flesh into the bucket. She grabbed the handle of the bucket with her mouth and trotted off towards the exit. "See you two later." Pinkie Pie mumbled. "I've got cupcakes to make." Rainbow Dash took this moment to pass out. Looking For A Rainbow [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Pinkamena Diane Pie (better known by her friends as "Pinkie Pie" was sitting on the floor of the Sugarcube Corner basement, staring at a jar of paper slips. "Which one's gonna die today?" she thought aloud as she plunged her hoof into the jar. She pulled out a slip. "Let's see-- Oh..." She let out a giggle. "Well, if it isn't my good old friend, Rainbow Dash." She stood up and turned to the stairs, knocking over the jar as she left the basement. The slips of paper fell out of the jar. Each had Rainbow Dash's name written on them. Pinkie Pie left Sugarcube Corner and began trotting through Ponyville, her typical smile on her face and her hair as poofy as ever. She walked up to Twilight's house and knocked. A few seconds later, the door opened. "Hey, Pinkie Pie." said Twilight. "What's up?" "Have you seen Rainbow Dash anywhere?" asked Pinkie Pie. "She wasn't in Cloudsdale or her cloud home." "Yeah, I saw her earlier." said Twilight, thinking. "Where was she? ...Oh, yeah. I think I saw her heading to Rarity's." "Okie-dokie-lokie." said Pinkie Pie with a smile and trotted off. "Thanks, Twilight." "Later, Pinkie." said Twilight, closing the door. Pinkie Pie looked over her shoulder and grinned. "Silly, Twilight. You just sentenced your friend to her death." She let out a giggle and looked straight, making her way to Rarity's. Pinkie Pie arrived at Rarity's just as Rainbow Dash was leaving. "Hey, Dash!" said Pinkie cheerfully, approaching her friend. "Oh." said Dash, not sounding particularly happy to see her. "Hey, Pinkie Pie." "Say, Dash..." said Pinkie Pie. "How about you come over to Sugarcube Corner later? I have something fun planned." "Oh, I don't-" "Pleeeeeeease!" Pinkie pleaded. "It's going to be really fun!" "I have things I was gonna do today, Pinkie. I'm sorry. Perhaps another time." She began to walk away. "Please, Dashie. I wanna hang out with some pony." Dash stopped and turned around. "What about the others?" Pinkie looked away, trying to think of an excuse. She finally came up with one and looked back at Rainbow Dash. "All the others are busy." she lied. "Twilight's studying... uh... something. Applejack's doing farming stuff. Fluttershy's tending to her animal friends. And Rarity..." "Is busy on a backorder." Dash finished. "Whatever that is." "Come on, Dashie. It'll be fun." "Well..." said Rainbow Dash. "If you say it's going to be fun..." "Oh, it will." said Pinkie Pie. "Super fun." "What time?" "Hmm..." thought Pinkie aloud. "How about 3:00pm?" "Three's fine." said Rainbow Dash. "I hope it's gonna be as fun as you say it's gonna be." "Oh, Rainbow Dash." said Pinkie Pie. "It's to die for." "Whatever you say, Pinkie." said Dash, trotting off. "See you at three." "Sugarcube Corner!" Pinkie called after her. "Got it!" Dash called back, taking to the skies. Pinkie Pie watched her take off and grinned. "It's working perfectly." she said, before giggling. A Second Playmate [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Alternate Material in BLUE "Well, I'm going for a walk." said Pinkie Pie, heading for the door. She turned back around. "Don't go anywhere." "Y-You're leaving me here?" asked Rainbow Dash, shocked. "I'll only be gone for a minute or so, silly." said Pinkie Pie, giggling. "Don't worry." Pinkie left the room, leaving Rainbow Dash alone. Dash let out a sigh. Her forelegs and hind legs were starting to fall asleep. Pinkie Pie walked into Sugarcube Corner. "Hey, Pinkie." said the pony behind the cashier counter. "Hey, Mrs. Cake." said Pinkie Pie. Just then Rarity burst through the front door. "Pinkie Pie!" said Rarity. "Oh, hey Rarity." said Pinkie Pie. "Where's Rainbow Dash?" asked Rarity. "Rainbow Dash?" asked Pinkie. "Yes. Rainbow Dash. You two were doing something together around 3, correct?" "Oh, yeah!" said Pinkie cheerfully. "It was fun!" "Y-Yes... Well... I haven't seen Dash since." said Rarity. "You know where she is?" "Why are you in such a hurry to find her?" asked Pinkie. "Is the world ending, or something?" "I need her for something important." "Well, if it's that important, then sure." said Pinkie Pie. "I'll show you where she went." "Really?" asked Rarity, relieved. "That'll be marvelous!" "Oh, I'm sure." said Pinkie Pie. "Follow me." Rainbow Dash was doing everything she could to stay awake, but there was this awful stench coming from somewhere in the room. Then she noticed a pile of bones in the far corner. Next to the pile was a table. Dash almost vomited when she saw what was on it; three decapitated pony heads. Dash's eyes widened. Pinkie wasn't fooling around. This mare was truly insane. Not only had she captured Rainbow Dash, but she has also murdered others before. Dash began to sweat, almost hyperventilating. The pony heads seemed to be staring straight at her, causing her to almost vomit. She closed her eyes tightly and whimpered, knowing that that was probably her fate as well. Pinkie Pie was leading Rarity to the hideout where Rainbow Dash was being held captive. "How much further?" asked Rarity. "We've been walking forever. And my hooves are getting all dirty." "Relax, Rarity." said Pinkie Pie. "We're here!" Rarity looked around. "We're in the Everfree forest." she said. "There's nothing around for miles." "Strange." said Pinkie Pie. "I could've swore I saw her come here." "Why on earth would Rainbow Dash come here?" "How should I know?" asked Pinkie. "I'm not Rainbow DAsh." "Well, I guess we'd better start looking for her." "Yeah." said Pinkie in a much less calm tone. "You do that." The pink mare pulled a small metal bar from her mane. "Where should we st--" began Rarity. Just then something hit her in the back of the head and she passed out. "Sweet dreams, Rarity." said Pinkie Pie, grabbing the unicorn by her hooves. She then began dragging the mare back to Sugarcube Corner, using the cover of night to stay out of sight. The PitRarity awoke in darkness. She slowly got her feet. "Where am I?" she asked herself. She tried using her magic to create light but nothing happened. She tried again. "What's going on?" she asked herself, reaching up to feel the top of her head. She winced in pain as she touched the stub of a horn that remained on her head. She brought her hoof down and saw blood. She opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out. "WHERE AM I?!" she screamed. "Right where I want you." She looked up as light shown down through the hole. "Pinkie Pie?" she asked "What's going on?" "You're in a pit, silly." "A pit?" she asked. "Why?" "You wanted to be where Rainbow Dash is." "Rainbow Dash is here?" "Of course." said Pinkie Pie. "But why the pit?" "So you can't escape, obviously." said Pinkie Pie. "Where's my horn?" "You mean this?" asked Pinkie, pushing something over the edge of the pit. The object fell in front of Rarity. It was her horn. Rarity looked back up at Pinkie Pie. "What are you going to do?" "Do?" asked Pinkie. "What do you mean." "Well, I'm not here for nothing, right?" Pinkie Pie said nothing for a couple seconds or so. Then she spoke. "Oh, Rarity. I can't fool you. " Pinkie Pies said with a smile. "I'm thinkin' I'm gonna make you a dress." "Make me a dress?" asked Rarity as Pinkie Pie started to leave. "That doesn't seem to bad." "Did I say 'make you a dress'?" asked Pinkie Pie, stopping and looking back down. "I meant 'make you into a dress'. My bad." she said as she left. Rarity just stood there with her mouth open. "Oh, Pinkie Pie." she said to herself. "What's happened to you?" A Shocking ExperiencePinkie Pie entered the room where Rainbow Dash was being kept. "Oh, no." Pinkie Pie said sarcastically. "Somepony's fallen asleep." "I'm not asleep." said Rainbow Dash. "My whole body's just numb from hanging here." "Numb?" asked Pinkie Pie. "What fun is the upcoming events if you can't feel anything?" Pinkie Pie approached the table with all the sharp objects and picked up a syringe. She trotted over to Rainbow Dash and dug the needle into Rainbow Dash's neck. "What did you just put in me?" asked Rainbow Dash, regaining feeling in her body. "Adrenaline booster." said Pinkie Pie dropping the syringe. Upon hitting the floor, the syringe shattered. "Now..." said Pinkie Pie. "we can begin." A minute later Pinkie had put alligator clips on all four of Dash's legs. The clips were hooked up to a machine that sat next to Pinkie Pie. On the machine was a button and a dial. "Pinkie!" said Dash. "Please. Don't do this!" "You don't even know what I'm gonna do, silly." "I have a pretty good feeling what you're going to do." "Hmm." said Pinkie Pie, thinking. "Then, let's make a game out of this. I'll ask you five questions. For every right answer; nothing happens. For every wrong answer... ZAP! Answer three out of the five questions right, I'll stop. Got it?" Dash gulped. "Yes." "Good." said Pinkie Pie, turning the dial on the machine to 10volts. "Question one: What's my favorite color?" "Pink." said Dash. "Darn! How'd you know?" asked Pinkie. "Uh... lucky guess." "Fine. Question two: What's the name of my pet and what kind of animal is he?" "Gummy's a crocodile." Pinkie Pie smiled. "Wrong." She pushed the button on the machine, sending 10volts through Dash's body. She yelled in pain. Then Pinkie Pie released the button and the pain stopped. Pinkie Pie turned the dial to 20volts. "Question three: What's my favorite food?" "Cupcakes?" asked Dash. "Trick question. I like EVERYTHING!" Pinkie Pie yelled, pressing the button. 20 volts of electricity coursed through Dash's body. She yelled even louder than before. Pinkie Pie set the dial to 30volts. "Question four: What's my full name?" "Pinkamena Diane Pie." said Dash. "Very good." said Pinkie Pie. Again unhappily. "One more to go." "Question five: Did you ever find me annoying to the point of wanting to avoid me?" "Huh?" Dash asked weakly. "Answer... the question." said Pinkie Pie moving her front hoof over the button. "No." said Dash. "Of course not." Pinkie Pie's eyes narrowed. "Wrong." she said deeply. She held the button down, zapping Dash. "You've always found me annoying!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "ALWAYS!" Just then the electricity stopped. "Wait a minute." said Pinkie Pie exceedingly more calm. "There's someone who wants to see you." Pinkie Pie left the room. "Huh?" asked Rainbow Dash weakly. "Who are y--?" Rainbow Dash passed out. Quickest Way To Lose A FriendTwilight teleported herself and Trixie back to the Library in Ponyville. "Your back." said Spike. "I see your trip was a success." "Hey, Spike." said Twilight. "Where you off to now?" "I'm taking Trixie to talk to the Mayor." said Twilight. "See you when you get back." said Spike. Twilight led Trixie through Ponyville. On their way, ponies stopped to look. "They're all watching me." said Trixie. "That's because they don't trust you. Yet." They arrived at the Mayor's house and Twilight knocked. There was no answer. She knocked harder and the door slowly creaked open. The inside was a mess. Tables overturned and glass lay everywhere. The light in the kitchen was on. "Let's check in the kitchen." said Twilight. "That seems like a good idea." said Trixie. "Seeing as how it's the only light that seems to be working." They stood in the doorway of the kitchen and almost threw up. The Mayor's body was up against the back wall. A knife was shoved through each of her front legs, nailing her to the wall. Her stomach was ripped open and her insides were on the outside. Both her eyes were missing as well as her tongue. Her heart sat on a plate on the kitchen table. There was a message written in blood above the corpse. It read, LOSING A FRIEND'S TRUST IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO LOSE A FRIEND ♥. "This is disgusting." said Trixie. "I have to go. Or else I'll puke." She left the kitchen and stood outside, catching her breath and inhaling fresh air. Twilight joined her. "We need to tell Princess Celestia right away." "Good idea." said Trixie. "How?" "I'll have Spike send her a message." said Twilight. "I'll get the Royal Guard to help us. "Where do you think she is?" asked Trixie. "Knowing Pinkie Pie... Sugarcube Corner." The Plan"So that's the plan." said Twilight. "Any questions?" She and Trixie were standing outside of Canterlot Castle. "Yeah, I have one." said Trixie. "Why do I have to do it?" "Because Pinkie won't think you're a threat." said Twilight. "She doesn't know you've been practicing." "You sure this will work?" "Positive." The doors to the castle opened and Luna stepped out. "What are you two doing?" she asked. "Trying to figure out how we're going to save our friends." said Twilight. "Friends." said Trixie softly. She liked how it sounded and she smiled. "You're going after Pinkie Pie, aren't you?" asked Luna. "Of course." "It's too dangerous." said Luna. "I can't let you." "You have to." said Twilight. "What if she had Celestia?" Luna was about to say something but stopped. She then let out a sigh. "I can see there's no stopping you." said Luna. "Be careful." "Thanks, Princess." said Twilight. She transported herself and Trixie back into Ponyville. "Well, here I go." said Trixie. "Good luck." Trixie walked up to an alley between two buildings and leaned against the side of one. "Excuse me." said a voice. Trixie turned around and saw a pony. She couldn't see who it was because the pony was wearing a coat and a hat. "Yes?" said Trixie. "Aren't you The Great An Powerful Trixie who was here a while back?" "Why, yes I am." "What are you doing hanging out with Twilight Sparkle?" "We're friends." said Trixie. "Want to here something interesting?" she asked. "Oh, boy. Do I." said the stranger. "She found out who's been behind the recent ponynappings." "Really?" asked the stranger. "Who does she think it is?" "Oh, some pony named Pinkie--" Just then the stranger stabbed her in the neck with a syringe. Trixie tried to stay awake but soon everything went black. Origin Of PinkamenaPinkie re-entered the basement, infuriated. "I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THIS!" she yelled. "NO MORE PLAYING! IT'S TIME TO DIE!" She grabbed the scalpel of the table and headed for Fluttershy. "I'll start with you." she said raising the scalpel. "Leave her alone!" yelled Rarity. Pinkie Pie whipped around. "YOU'RE IN NO POSITION TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" She turned back to Fluttershy. "NOW HOLD STILL!" She lowered the scalpel to Fluttershy's skin. She let out a yelp as the blade punctured her skin. Just then the basement door flew open. Pinkie dropped the scalpel and whipped around again. "WHAT NOW?!" she yelled. "It's us." said Twilight. "YOU!" Pinkie yelled. "YOU TWO ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES!" "Why are you doing this, Pinkie?" asked Twilight. "Why?" asked Pinkie. "WHY?! I'll tell you why. But you should know. It's all your fault." "What are you talking about?" asked Twilight. "Remember?" asked Pinkie. "That little surprise party you threw for me a while back? The one where I was left alone all day?" "That was because it was a surprise party." "Even so. One of you could have hung out with me. It doesn't take one pony, two unicorns, and two pegasuses to throw a surprise party." "Maybe you're right." said Twilight. "But that doesn't give you a reason to kill." "I'm not using that as a reason to kill." said Pinkie. "I'm using it as a reason for how I became the pony I am now. When I was left alone, all the happiness inside me was replaced with sadness and anger. After realizing you were throwing me a surprise party, I started to feel happy again. But it was too late. The anger had corrupted my heart. Every day my heart grew blacker and blacker until I became this." Pinkie paused. "So, like I was sayin'... it's your fault." "Pinkie--" Twilight started. "Enough chit-chat." said Pinkie Pie. "Time to die." Confronting PinkamenaPinkie Pie lunged at Twilight. She stepped aside as Pinkie shot passed. She stopped and spun around. Trixie levitated a scalpel and threw it at Pinkie. Pinkie dodged it and the scalpel bounced of the wall and fell to the floor. "Nice try." said Pinkie. She slipped behind Twilight and kicked her in the legs. She fell to the floor as Pinkie jumped on top of her. Pinkie picked up the scalpel and brought it above Twilight's eye. Pinkie was about to stab Twilight's eye when Trixie tackled her to the floor. Pinkie kicked her off and stood up. "You're the most annoying one there is." said Pinkie. "Proud to disappoint you." said Trixie. Pinkie threw the scalpel at Trixie's face. Trixie stepped to the side and watched the scalpel fly across the room. She looked back just as Pinkie punched her across the face. She fell to the floor. "How's that feel?" she asked. "Probably like this." said Twilight, socking her in the face. Pinkie stumbled backwards and grabbed her cheek. "Not bad for a bookworm." said Pinkie. "A bookworm?" asked Twilight. "How about a magical bookworm?" Twilight levitated the tab;e with all the knives and threw it at Pinkie. It smacked her in the side, knocking her into the wall. Pinkie groaned as she pushed it off. "Enough is enough." said Pinkie. "Giving up?" asked Twilight. "No way." said Pinkie. "Not by a long shot." A Bad Apple"What are you going to do, now?" asked Twilight. "That." said Pinkie, pointing to the basement door. Twilight and the others looked. Standing in the doorway was Applebloom. "Applebloom!" said Rarity. "There you are. Applejack's been..." she stopped. Applebloom had a blank expression on her face, as though she was in a trance. "Applebloom?" The little filly entered the basement and stood next to Pinkie Pie. "What's going on here?" asked Twilight. "This is my little helper." said Pinkie. "What?" asked Twilight and the others, shocked. "In fact, she helped me with our first victim." "Which was?" asked Rarity. "Gilda." said Pinkie. "That was a fun one." "Gilda?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Oh, yeah." said Applebloom. "I remember that one." "What have you done to her?" asked Twilight. "Nothing." said Pinkie. "I simply needed a helper so I taught Applebloom. She really took off." Pinkie laughed. "I'm not gonna lie. The first one was messy." She laughed again. "You're sick." said Trixie." "Sick?" asked Pinkie. "Yeah." said Trixie. "She's just a filly. How could you?" "Oh, it was simple." said Pinkie. "It was fun, too." said Applebloom. "Gilda was pretty annoying. We did Equestria a favor by getting rid of her." "Got that right." said Pinkie. "You're gonna die for this." said Rainbow Dash. "That's funny, coming from you." said Pinkie. "You're closer to death than all of us combined." "I've heard just about enough." said Twilight. "This has to end." "You know, you're right." said Pinkie. "This conversation has been going on far too long."
The Fateful Meeting [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Dash did a couple of spins and twists in the air and then landed. "That was awesome!" Dash yelled. "Did anypony see that?" she asked, looking around. There was no one around. "Oh." Just then... "Hey, Rainbow Dash." said a familiar voice. Rainbow Dash turned around. "Oh. Hey, Twilight." she said. "Did Pinkie Pie find you?" asked the unicorn. "Yeah." said Dash, sounding a little annoyed by the very thought of it. "She did." "What did she want?" "She planned something fun for us to do over at Sugarcube Corner." "Did she say what it was?" asked Twilight. Dash shook her head. "Nope. She just said it was fun. Really fun." "Really fun, huh?" "Yeah. Nothing else." Dash hesitated, thinking. "Speaking of which, what time is it?" "Last time I checked it was almost three." said Twilight. "Why?" "Whoops!" said Dash, realizing she was late. "Gotta go!" Rainbow Dash landed outside of Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie Pie was waiting for her outside. "Sorry I'm late, Pinkie Pie." Rainbow Dash apologized. "I got carried away with something and completely lost track of the time." "That's okay." said Pinkie Pie. "You're here now." "Yeah." Rainbow Dash let out a fake chuckle. "I am." They entered the shop. It was empty. There was no one inside. "So what's the big fun thing you had planned?" asked Dash. "BAKING!" yelled Pinkie Pie cheerfully. "What?" asked Dash. "That's the big fun thing you had planned?" "Yep." said Pinkie. "There's a cupcake on the table over there for you." Pinkie said, pointing to a table in the center of the shop. Rainbow Dash walked over to it. "So we're gonna bake cupcakes?" asked Dash. "Of course." said Pinkie. "Baking is totally fun!" Dash stared at her. "Is that right?" "Oh, yes, Dashie!" Dash looked down at the cupcake. "So..." she began. "Baking, huh?" she asked, taking a bite of the cupcake. "Yep." said Pinkie Pie. "Or... at least... I'll be baking cupcakes." "What was tha-" Rainbow Dash began to feel a little bit groggy. "Feeling tired?" asked Pinkie Pie. "A little. What was in that--" Rainbow Dash passed out on the floor. "Now that I have new supplies, I can start baking." She let out a giggle. "Oh, Dashie..." She stroked the cyan pegasus' mane. "It's been nice knowing ya."
Where's Rainbow? [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Alternate Material in BLUE "Twilight!" called a voice from outside the library. Twilight opened the library door and saw Rarity. "Rarity?" asked Twilight. "What do you want?" "Have you seen Rainbow Dash?" asked the white unicorn. "There was something I forgot to have her try on." "You're the second pony today who's asked me about Rainbow Dash, you know?" "Really?" asked Rarity. "Who was the first?" "Pinkie Pie was looking for her earlier." said Twilight. "Pinkie Pie?" asked Rarity. "What did she want?" "She said they had something planned around three at Sugarcube Corner." "Sugarcube, of course!" said Rarity. said Twilight. "Why did you want her again?" "I have a huge order to fill and I need somepony to try on the different outfits to see how they look." "Well, I hope you get it done on time." said Twilight. "Thanks, Twilight!" Rarity called back. "Glad to help..." said Twilight. "again." Rarity entered Sugarcube Corner. She looked around the shop. No pony was in sight. The unicorn walked further into the shop and stood in the center. "Huh?" said Rarity. "Where are they?" She noticed crumbs on the table in the center of the shop. "Honestly!" she said, disgusted. "Am I the only pony around here who cares about cleanliness?" "So what's going on?" asked Twilight, entering the shop. "Hey." she said, looking around. "Where are they?" "I haven't the faintest idea, Twilight." said Rarity. "You sure Dash said three at Sugarcube Corner?" "Positive." said Twilight. "This is just weird. I distinctly remember her mentioning Sugarcube Corner. And when I mentioned it was almost three she took off." "Odd." said Rarity. "I wonder where they went." "Well, they'll turn up sooner or later." said Twilight. "I hope they turn up sooner rather than later." said Rarity. "I really need Rainbow Dash to model for me." "Why don't you go ask Fluttershy, Rarity?" asked Twilight. "I may have to. I just hope she's available." "Fluttershy's always ready to help." said Twilight. "You know that." "Yeah." said Rarity, thinking back on all the times Fluttershy helped out. "She really is quite the helpful pony, isn't she?" "She sure is." "Well, thanks for the advice, Twilight. I'll go ask her right away." said Rarity, leaving the shop. Twilight watched her leave and took another glance around the room. "I wonder where they went." she thought aloud. "Pinkie!" she called out. She waited for an answer. An answer which never came. She took one last look before heading back outside. "I hope they're alright." she thought aloud.
I Can't Decide [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Alternate Material in BLUE Dash awoke and let out a groan. She was still a little groggy from whatever Pinkie Pie put in the cupcake she ate. Dash looked around the room. It was pitch black. She couldn't see a thing. Dash tried to move but couldn't. There was something holding her forelegs and hind legs down. She deduced that she was strapped to a vertical, wooden slab like they used in the olden days to torture people. "What's going on?" Dash asked, not expecting an answer. She got one. "Don't you like the surprise?" Pinkie Pie asked cheerfully. The lights turned on, blinding Rainbow Dash . She closed her eyes tightly as a reflex from the bright lights. "GAH!" she exclaimed. "Pinkie!" Her eyes soon adjusted to the light and she opened them. "Pinkie. What're you..." She stopped when she noticed a table next to Pinkie Pie "Pinkie Pie." Dash said. "What's going on? I thought we were baking." "Oh, we are gonna bake, silly." said Pinkie. "It's just that first I need a few ingredients, is all." "Ingredients?" asked Dash, confused. "You're at Sugarcube Corner! You already have all the ingredients needed to bake cupcakes! What ingredients could you possibly need?!" "You, of course." said Pinkie. "WHAT?!" yelled Dash. "Is this a joke? Tell me it's a joke. You're joking, right?" Dash stopped and thought. "A prank, right?" Dash started to feel better. "This is all a prank, right? Wow! You really got me, Pinkie Pie. Good one." Dash let out a nervous chuckle. "Now, let me go." "Oh, Dash." said Pinkie. "You wanted to bake." "When you asked if I wanted to bake cupcakes back at Suagarcube Corner I didn't think you meant I would literally be baking." "I told you it was to die for." Pinkie said giggling. "Hey! Let's sing a song!" "Excuse me?" asked Dash. "A song?" "Sure!" Pinkie yelled gleefully. "If we sing will you let me go afterwards?" asked the cyan pegasus. "If you want." said Pinkie Pie. "Fine, then." said Dash. "Yippee!" shouted Pinkie Pie with excitement. "Ready?" Dash sighed. "I-i-i-i-i-i-i-it's... no-o-o-o-o-o-t... easy having yourself a good time. Greasing up those bets and betters. Watching out they don't four-letter. Fu--" she paused and looked at Rainbow Dash. "What's the matter? Don't like the song? That's okay. The chorus is my favorite part, too." Dash let out another sigh. "Here we go!" Pinkie Pie said. She cleared her throat and began singing the song's first bridge. "I'm not a gangster tonight. Don't wanna be the bad guy. I'm just a loner, baby. And now you'e got in my way. I can't decide whether you should live or die." Dash's eyes widened. This wasn't Pike Pie's usual cheerful song. "Oh, you'll probably go to heaven. Please don't hang your head and cry. No wonder why my heart feels dead inside. It's cold and hard and petrified." Pinkie picked up a knife from the table. "Lock the doors and close the blinds." she continued singing as she threw the knife at Dash. It hit the wood right next to Dash's head. "We're going for a ride." "Hey!" Dash yelled. "Watch it!" Pinkie paid no attention to Dash's complaint. She continued to the final part of the song. "Oh, I could throw you in the lake or feed you poisoned birthday cake. There's no denying I will miss you when you're gone. Oh, I could bury you alive but you might crawl out with a knife and kill me when I'm sleeping. That's why... I can't decide whether you should live or die..." Pinkie Pie finished up the song and waited for Dash's response. Dash stared at her wide-eyed. The song was really disturbing. Especially for Pinkie Pie. "It was... uh... good." said Dash, lying. "Great!" yelled Pinkie Pie cheerfully. "I'm glad you liked it." "Now, will you let me go?" Dash asked impatiently. "Okay." Pinkie Pie said. She trotted over to Dash, pulled the knife out of the wood, and raised it. "What are you doing?!" asked Rainbow Dash, eyes widening in fear. "Well, I have to let you go, right?" asked the pink mare, a deranged smile on her gace. "I'll stay! I'll stay!" said Dash quickly. "Yay!" said Pinkie. "We get to more time to play."
Rainbow And BubblesWhen Rainbow Dash regained consciousness, she saw Rarity. She was strapped to a wooden slab that resembled Rainbow Dash's. Rarity opened her eyes and looked at Rainbow Dash. "Dash?" she asked. "Rarity?" Dash asked. "Yay!" said Pinkie Pie, heading to a door at the back wall. "We're all together. Well... almost." Pinkie opened the door and pulled out a yellow pony with a blue mane. "Bubbles?" asked Rainbow Dash. "So, you know this pony." said Pinkie Pie. "Then this will be even more fun than I thought." The pony was tied up and laying on the floor. Tears filled her eyes. Pinkie walked over to the surgical table and grabbed a scalpel. She then headed over to Bubbles. "What are you going to do?" asked Rarity. "You'll see." said Pinkie Pie, not taking her eyes off of Bubbles. "But Bubbles won't." She drove the scalpel into the eye socket of Bubbles' left eye. She let out a high-pitched scream as Pinkie Pie plucked out her eye. It fell out and rolled on the floor. Pinkie Pie then cut Bubbles' ropes. Bubbles backed against the wall, screaming in pain and holding her empty eye socket. "NO!" Rainbow Dash screamed. "Bubbles." she said more softly. Rarity started to cry. Pinkie Pie stabbed the lose eye with the scalpel. She then held it up to her mouth and licked it. "Mmm." she said. "It's perfect." She set the eye back on the floor and pulled the scalpel free. "But I need one more." She moved towards Bubbles and held up the scalpel. Bubbles held up her hooves to try and block Pinkie. "Come on." said Pinkie Pie. "NO!" screamed Bubbles. "Give me your eye." "NOOOO!" Pinkie Pie slit Bubbles' legs, causing her to pull back. Pinkie Pie then drove the scalpel into Bubbles' other eye socket. "AHHHHHH!" screamed Bubbles. "No." Rainbow Dash cried softly. "Bubbles!" Pinkie Pie plucked out Bubbles' other eye. It fell to the ground a rolled a bit. Bubbles was now crying uncontrollably. "Well, that was fun." said Pinkie Pie. "But you know what? I'm gonna give you a chance. If you can make it out the door in 60 seconds, you can live. Now, go." Bubbles slowly moved forward, feeling around in front of her. She turned a bit to the left and headed towards Rainbow Dash. "Dash?" asked Bubbles. "Over here." said Rainbow Dash. Bubbles felt her way to Rainbow Dash. When she felt Dash's legs she looked up. Rainbow Dash found it hard to look at Bubbles in this condition. "Oh, Bubbles." said Dash. "I'm sorry." "It's not your fault." Blood trickled out of Bubbles' eye sockets. It looked like red tears. "Be strong." said Dash. "Who you kidding?" Bubbles asked. "We both know I'm not going to make it. You're the one that needs to be strong." Rainbow Dash's eyes were completely filled with tears. "Time's up." said Pinkie, standing behind Bubbles. She held up the scalpel to Bubbles' neck. "Don't forget me." said Bubbles, still looking up at Rainbow Dash. "Never." said Dash. Pinkie slit Bubbles' throat, spilling her blood all over the floor. Bubbles kept looking up at Rainbow Dash until she was dead. Rainbow Dash looked away and cried. Rarity started to cry, too. "Now to harvest." said Pinkie.
No, Not Pinkie PieThere was a knock at the Library door. Twilight opened it and saw the Mayor. "May I come in?" she asked. "Sure.." said Twilight, stepping aside. The Mayor entered and Twilight closed the door. "What's up?" "I have something important tot tell you. It's about the disappearances." "Really?" asked Twilight. "What about them?" "I know who's doing it." "Who?" "It's..." started the Mayor. "I'm not sure how to say this." "Just tell me." "It's... Pinkie Pie." "Pinkie Pie?" asked Twilight. "Yes. I saw her do it. It's what she does." "Does?" asked Twilight. "What does she do?" "I saw her... kill somepony." Twilight's jaw dropped. "She said if said anything, she'd kill me, too." "No." said Twilight. "Not Pinkie Pie." "It doesn't seem likely, does it?" said the Mayor. "But it's true. Your friend is not what she seems. She has another side. A darker side. A side that has taken her over. She's no longer Pinkie Pie. She's become Pinkamena." "Pinkamena?" asked Twilight. "Isn't that her full name?" "Pinkamena is the name she's given her darker, more violent side." "Are you sure?" Twilight asked. "Yes." answered the Mayor. "I'm sorry." Twilight said nothing. "And she has your friends." "What?" asked Twilight. "She has Rainbow Dash and Rarity. If you hurry, you may be able to save Rarity." "What about Rainbow Dash?" asked Twilight hesitantly. "There's no guarantee she's still alive. But you can still save Rarity." "Rarity?" asked Spike coming down the stairs. Twilight turned to look at him. "She's in trouble?" Spike was panicky. "We have to save her." "And we will, Spike." said Twilight. She turned back to the Mayor. "Thank you for telling us. Now, be careful." "I'm already dead." said the Mayor. "I was dead the moment I told you." "Huh?" asked Twilight and Spike in unison. "She hears and knows everything that goes on in Ponyville. I just couldn't take it anymore. I figured if I said nothing, I'd be just as responsible for the deaths as Pinkie Pie. Somepony had to know." "That's very noble of you." said Twilight. "But rest assured, I'll stop her before she can hurt you." "Thank you for trying." said the Mayor, opening the door. "But like I said... I'm already dead." With that, she left. Twilight stood there for a moment before looking at Spike. "We're gonna need some help."
Magic TrixTwilight magically appeared in Manehattan. This town was to the south of Ponyville. She looked around her environment to get a feel for where things are. She asked around town and finally found who she was looking for. She entered a run-down looking building. There was a small crowd of ponies gathered in front of a stage. Twilight stayed at the back of the crowd and waited. Soon the lights dimmed and the curtains opened. There was a stool with a magician's hat on top of it. An explosion of smoke appeared on stage. When it cleared, a blue unicorn was standing next to the stool. "Ladies and gentlecolts..." said the unicorn. "watch and be amazed as I, the Great Trixie, perform spectacular magic." She levitated the hat forward so the crowd could see it was empty. She then set the hat back down on the stool and concentrated. She then levitated a bunny out of the hat. She then set it gently on the stage and it hopped away. Trixie performed some more magic tricks as Twilight watched patiently. When the show was over, Twilight stayed behind as the others left. She headed backstage, only to catch a glimpse of Trixie's tail disappearing through a doorway. Twilight followed her through the doorway and ended up outside. Trixie entered a nearby house and closed the door. Twilight approached the front door and knocked. There was a moment before the answer where Twilight felt like Trixie wasn't going to answer. But, them... "Hello?" said a voice. "Trixie." said Twilight. "It's me. Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville." The door opened slightly. Twilight cold see a bit of Trixie's face through the crack. "Ponyville?" asked Trixie. "Wait a minute... You're that unicorn that defeated that Ursa Minor, aren't you?" "Well, yes." said Twilight. "But that's not why I'm here." "Then why are you here?" "I need your help." said Twilight. "Come in." said Trixie. "We'll talk." Trixie headed to the living room. Twilight entered the house and followed Trixie. The living room was an averaged size living room with a purple-ish couch up against the far wall. There was also a rug in the center. "So what's the issue?" asked Trixie. "One of my friends has become psychotic. She's captured two of my friends. One of them is possibly dead. I need your help to save the other one." Trixie's eyes narrowed. "Do you think I'm an idiot?" "What?" asked Twilight, shocked. "No. I--" "No?" asked Trixie. "This is some kind of trick to get me to go back to Ponyville isn't it?" "No." said Twilight insistently. "Look, Twilight." said Trixie. "I don't need to be taught a lesson. I've already learnt my lesson." Her voice started to crack. "I remember it every time I come home." A tear fell from her eye. "I WAS WRONG!" she cried. "ALL RIGHT?! There's nothing I'd like better than to undo what I did but..." She sniffed. "Everypony hates me now. What's the point?" "The point is you can fix it." said Twilight. "If you help me save Ponyville, they're bound to like you again." "Your friend's really gone crazy?" "Yes." "And if I help, Ponyville will like me?" "Don't see why not." said Twilight. Trixie thought for a second before answering. "I'll do it."
Raid On SugarcubeTwilight and Trixie stood outside Sugarcube Corner. Just then the Royal Guard appeared. The five guards landed near Twilight. "We got your message." said the Captain. "Let's do this." He led his guards into the building. Twilight and Trixie followed them. It looked normal. "Check the basement." said the Captain. A guard opened the basement door and looked down the stairs. He motioned that it was clear and everyone headed to the basement. It was empty aside from all the paper strewn across the floor. There was table against the far back wall. There was what appeared to be a note on the table. A guard took a step forward. He screamed in pain as a bear trap slammed shut on his leg. He collapsed to the floor as blood squirted out from the wound. One of the other guards tried to open it. It slipped and closed on the guard's leg again, making the cut even deeper. "I'll do it." said Trixie. She used her magic to pry open the trap and levitate it away from the guard. The guard that tried to help helped the injured guard to his feet and back upstairs. "Where's Pinkie Pie?" asked the Captain. "I don't know." said Twilight. "It seemed like she should be here." The Captain let out a frustrated groan and headed back upstairs. The other guards followed him. Twilight used her magic to spring all the remaining traps. There was about eight more. She then walked up to the back table and picked up the note. She read through it and almost dropped it. "Oh, no." said Twilight. "This is not good." "What?" asked Trixie. "What's wrong?" Twilight inhaled deeply. "Pinkie Pie has Fluttershy."
Not Fluttershy, Too"Hey everypony!" Pinkie Pie said, opening the basement door. "Look who I found." she said, pushing Fluttershy in. "NO!" yelled Rainbow Dash and Rarity. "Let her go!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Fluttershy saw the state that Rainbow Dash was in and tears started to form in her eyes. "Let her go?" asked Pinkie Pie. "So she can miss out on all the fun?" Rarity looked at the straps that held her in place. Unlike Rainbow Dash's, hers were just plain rope. She pulled as she could. She could feel the rope starting to feel lose. "I wonder how long Fluttershy will last." said Pinkie Pie, holding the scalpel in front of Fluttershy's face. Fluttershy let out a whimper. Pinkie Pie movd the scalpel closer. "Leave... her..." The ropes snapped. "ALONE!" Rarity leaped at Pinkie Pie and knocked her away from Fluttershy. Pinkie Pie looked over Rarity. Her smile had faded and her eyes had narrowed. Her mane was also now hanging flat and not poofy like usual. Her skin tone also got a little darker. "YOU!" Pinkie Pie (now Pinkamena) said. Rarity looked at Fluttershy. "Run!" Fluttershy started to move towards the door. Pinkamena brought her hoof to a button on the wall. She was waiting for the right moment to push it. Rainbow Dash saw what Pinkie was doing and thought about it for a second. "Fluttershy! Wait!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Fluttershy didn't hear her. She continued for the door. As she was almost out Pinkamena pressed the button. The door slammed shut and whacked Fluttershy in the face. She tumbled backwards and lay on the floor. She tried to stand up and saw a red puddle forming on the floor. She reached a hoof up to her nose and felt blood. She brought her hoof down and saw red. Her nose and all around her mouth was covered in blood. "FLUTTERSHY!" yelled Rainbow Dash. Rarity trotted over to her. "Fluttershy?" asked Rarity. "You okay?" Fluttershy said nothing. She just stared at the blood on the floor. Just then Rarity felt a knife in her hip, right by her cutie mark. She fell to the floor, pain shooting through her body. The knife was still inside her. She tried to stand but it hurt too much. Pinkamena stood in front of Fluttershy and held a knife up to her face. "Don't try anything." said Pinkamena. "You behave and I MIGHT let you live." Pinkamena lowered the knife and left the room. The ponies weren't going anywhere soon. Rainbow Dash was still strapped down, Rarity's hip was injured so she couldn't walk, and Fluttershy was too scared to move.
Trixie's EscapeTrixie slowly opened her eyes. "Where am I?" she asked. "You're finally awake." said a voice. Trixie looked to her right and saw Rarity. She then looked down and noticed that she was tied to a wooden slab similar to Rarity. "How are my three favorite ponies?" asked Pinkie Pie entering the basement. "And Trixie?" "Very funny." said Trixie beneath her breath. "So, Twilight was right. You have gone insane." "Oh, Trixie." said Pinkie Pie. "Keep it up and I'll have to stab you just like I did to Rarity, here." Rainbow Dash caught a glimpse of the rotting corpse of Bubbles near the back wall and vomited all over the floor. "Oh, Rainbow Dash." said Pinkie Pie. "Somepony's gonna have to clean it up." Pinkie Pie left the room. "So, how'd you get caught?" whispered Rarity. "Twilight asked for my help." Trixie whispered back. "I'm here to help rescue you." "Well, you're doing a fine job." said Rarity. "Will you give me a minute? I have to wait for the right moment." Pinkie Pie reappeared holding a mop in her mouth. She went over to Fluttershy, who was cowering in the far corner, and dropped the mop in front of her. "Clean." she said. "W-w-w-what?" asked Fluttershy. "Rainbow Dash made a mess on the floor. You're gonna clean it up." Fluttershy said nothing. Trixie worked on untying the ropes with her magic. "NOW!" yelled Pinkie. Fluttershy only cowered some more. "THAT'S IT!" yelled Pinkie. Just then Trixie fell to the floor and Pinkie whipped around. "It worked." said Trixie happily. Then she saw the look on Pinkie's face. "Uh, oh." She took off out the door. "Yeah, you better run!" yelled Pinkie, chasing after her. Trixie got to the top of the stairs and ended up in the living room. She looked around for an escape but all she saw was a large glass window in the far wall. She ran to the window and looked out. "Wait." she said, backing up. "I'm not jumping through that." She turned around and stopped. Pinkie Pie was standing in the doorway, Hell's fury burned in her eyes. Without hesitation, Trixie leaped through the window and rolled across the ground outside. She could hardly move. The glass had cut her but at least she was free of Pinkie Pie. She soon passed out from blood loss.
Hair Care [NEW SCENE]Pinkamena let out a low growl and headed back downstairs to the basement. She then entered a room just before the basement area itself and closed the door. It was a basic, small bathroom with a mirror over the sink and a shower. The pink mare trotted over to the sink and stared into the mirror. "That damn Trixie..." she spat. "I'll get her." Just then the door creaked open. "Everything all right, Pinkie?" asked a voice. The pink mare looked over her shouler. "Everything's fine. Now, go back upstairs and keep a look-out." "You got it," said the voice before the door creaked shut. Hoofsteps could be heard trotting back up the stairs. The pink mare noticed that her mane was a little messy and let out a low sigh. She trotted over to the shower and turned the water on. When it was hot enough, she turned on the shower head. "Gonna get that... stupid... mare," the pink mare muttered, holding her head under the water for a few seconds before pulling away. She grabbed a thing of hair gel and squeezed it onto her mane. She then set the bottle down and rubbed the gel in, all the while thinking of what she was going to do to Trixie when she got her hooves on her. She then held her head under the water again and rubbed the gel in. When that was done, she pulled back and turned off the water. She then dried her hair and grabbed a comb. Pinks let out a groan as she sat on the edge of the tub, brushing her hair. Just then there was a knock at the door. "Come in," groaned the pink mare. The door opened. "Pinkie?" sked the voice. "Yes? What is it?" "They took Trixie to the hospital." The pink mare chuckled as she brushed. "Of course they did. Standard procedure." "What do want me to do?" "Just leave it to me, okay?" The owner of the voice nodded. "You got it, Pinkie." There was a short pause. "Why do you comb your mane?" "What? Just because I'm a serial killer means I can't look nice?" "I didn't mean it like th--" "It's actually hard work to keep my mane straight and perfect." "Well, it looks nice." Pinks nodded. "Thank you. Now, go. I have work to do." The door closed again and Pinks got up, heading to the mirror. "Looks like I'm going to the hospital," she said with a grin.
At The HospitalTrixie awoke in a white room. She looked around and realized she was in a hospital. A nurse pony walked in. "Ah, you're awake." she said. "What happened?" asked Trixie. "You were found in the middle of broken glass. You had lost a lot of blood and passed out. A couple ponies who witnessed the event called us right away." "Where am I?" asked Trixie. "At the hospital in Hoofington." the nurse answered. "Would it be possible to send a message to Ponyville?" "Ponyville?" asked the nurse. "That's a little far." "How about Canterlot?" asked Trixie. "To Princess Celestia?" "Of course." said the nurse. "Every town or city in Equestria has some way to communicate with the princesses of Canterlot. What's the message?" "Tell Celestia to tell Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville this; She's hiding in Hoofington." "She's hiding in Hoofington?" asked the nurse. "To Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville?" "Yes. Please." said Trixie. "And hurry. It's an emergency." "Sure. And get some rest." said the nurse. "You've lost some blood but you're doing much better. You could be walking again in no time." The nurse pony left the room to deliver the message. Twilight paced back and forth in the Library. "What's taking her so long?" asked Twilight. "Not sure." said Spike. "How about we--" He stopped talking. Green flames exploded from his mouth and a scroll appeared. "Finally!" said Twilight, taking the scroll. She opened it in front of her and read it. "She's in Hoofington." "Hoofington?" asked Spike. "All the way over there? Well, guess I better get moving." Trixie couldn't sleep a wink. She was too on edge from what she had seen earlier. Just then the nurse appeared in the door. "You have a visitor." said the nurse. "Says her name is Twilight." "Twilight?" asked Trixie. "Send her in." "Sure." said the nurse. "Twilight." she called down the hall. "You can come in now." Trixie turned her head and stared up at the ceiling. She heard voices in the hallway. "Don't take to long. She needs to rest." Trixie let out a sigh. "Oh, Twilight." said Trixie, looking towards the doorway. "I'm so glad you--" She stopped. "Hey, Trixie." said Pinkie Pie. Her hair was still straight and hanging over her face. "I couldn't wait to see you again." Trixie was too scared to speak. Pinkie Pie stepped up to the edge of the bed. "You thought you could escape from me?" Pinkie asked. "No pony escapes from me. Not you. Not anypony. Get that?" She walked over to a cabinet and opened it. "Let's see what tools they have in here." She looked through the cabinet and found a box filled with plastic knives. They all had a hoop attached to the handle. She slipped her front hoof through the hoop and held up a plastic knife. "Hmm. I could use this." She turned to Trixie. "This is going hurt so much." Twilight appeared in the center of Hoofington. "That was lucky." she said, never teleporting to a place she's never been to before. She saw a pony walking by. "Excuse me." she said. The pony stopped and looked at her. "I'm looking for someone." "Hold still." said Pinkie. "I want to saver this moment." Trixie rolled off the edge of the bed and pressed herself against the back wall. "There's no sense in running." said Pinkie. "I've got you cornered. There's nowhere to go." Twilight entered the hospital and approached the front desk. "Excuse me." she said. "I'm here to see Trixie." "Trixie?" asked a nurse approaching the desk. "She's my patient. Who are you?" "Twilight. Twilight Sparkle." "Twilight Sparkle?" asked the nurse. "That's funny." "What is?" asked Twilight. "Well I just sent a Twilight Sparkle to Trixie's room." "What?" asked Twilight. "Oh, no! What room is she in?" "Uh, 203." said the nurse. Twilight took off down the hall. "Wait!" Twilight rounded a corner. 180. 181. 182. "Trixie!" she yelled. "I'm coming!" Pinkie held Trixie up against the wall. "Time to die." said Pinkie, raising the knife. Trixie levitated the knife upwards, taking Pinkie's fron leg up with it. Pinkie tried to lower her leg but her hoof was caught in the hoop on the knife. She grunted with effort but it was no use. Then they heard a voice approaching. "Trixie!" "Twilight." said Trixie happily. Pinkie whacked Trixie across the face, causing her to lose her concentration. The knife fell and Pinkie pulled it off. "This isn't over." Pinkie said menacingly. She burst out of the doorway as Twilight was approaching. After flashing Twilight an angry look, Pinkie took off down the hallway. Twilight entered the room and found Trixie up against the wall. "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." said Trixie. "But right now we have to save your friends." "Right." said Twilight. "Let's go."
The Finale"I'm going to give you one last chance to surrender." said Twilight. "Surrender..." thought Pinkie aloud. "Surrender... No, I don't think I will." "Are you sure about that?" "Most definitely." said Pinkie. "I'm not just gonna give up right here and now because some pony doesn't like the way I do things." "The way you do things?" asked Twilight. "You're a mass murderer, Pinkie. That's very frowned upon... Everywhere." "Oh, look at you talk." said Pinkie. "Thinkin' you know everything." "I know that no place welcomes mass murderers." "Maybe not." said Pinkie. "But I'll think of something." "So, you've made your decision, then?" asked Twilight. "Yes, Twilight." said Pinkie. "Yes, I have." "Good." said Twilight, turning and walking towards the door. "Good?" asked Pinkie. "Good?" "Yeah." said Twilight. "It makes doing this a whole lot easier." she stopped at the door. "COME GET HER!" she yelled. "What are you--" Pinkie started. Just then, three Royal Guards burst into the room and tackled Pinkie Pie. Celestia entered the room and stood next to Twilight. "I'm proud of you." said Celestia. "You've led us to Pinkie and you managed to save your firneds and Ponyville." "Thanks, Princess." said Twilight. "But I didn't do it alone." Celestia spotted Trixie. "Trixie." said Celestia. "Your Highness." said Trixie, bowing. "I want to thank you personally for helping out. I understand it must have been hard for you to come back." "Yeah." said Trixie. "It was." "Well, I'm very grateful for all you've done." Trixie smiled as the guards dragged Pinkie Pie outside, kicking and screaming.
A Happy Ending?Twilight and Trixie entered the hospital room. "Hey, girls." said Twilight. "Hey, Twilight." Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy said at once. "How you feeling?" asked Trixie. "Getting better." said Rainbow Dash. "And thanks for your help." "Don't mention it." said Trixie. "It was nothing." "Are you kidding?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I could've died. And Fluttershy, too." "There's a present here for you." said the nurse pony, handing Twilight a small box. "What is it?" asked Trixie. "Not sure." answered Twilight. She lifted up the note on the box lid with magic and read it aloud. "Dear friends, I just wanted to let you know that I'm alive and well and traveling Equestria. I'm seeing the sights. I've met some new friends and have a new home. My life is getting back to normal. Thanks. Love, Pinkamena. PS: I still throw some killer parties." Twilight and the others just stared. Not knowing what had happened. Twilight lifted the box lid with magic and looked inside. What she saw made her drop the box. Blood poured out of the box along with an eyeball.
My Cutie MarkRainbow Dash and Rarity had their eyes closed since they didn't want to watch what Pinkie Pie was doing to Bubbles' dead body. Pinkie Pie had strung Bubbles' dead body up against the back wall. "Well, that should be enough for now." said Pinkie Pie, setting the scalpel down. Pinkie was nearly covered in blood as was the floor. Bubbles' organs and guts had been collected into a bucket. Pinkie Pie stood up and headed towards Rainbow Dash. She was holding the scalpel in her mouth. When she got to Rainbow Dash, she dropped the scalpel on the floor. She then slid her hoof in the ring attached to the scalpel's handle. Then she raised the scalpel to Rainbow Dash's thigh. "Bubbles gave me a lot of ingredients." said Pinkie Pie. "But I need a little bit more." She kicked a lever on the floor and the slab of metal that Rainbow Dash was strapped to fell backwards and rested horizontally. "What are you doing?" asked Rainbow Dash with tears in her eyes. "I told you." said Pinkie Pie, lining up the scalpel with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. "I need a few more ingredients." Pinkie applied pressure to the scalpel, penetrating Dash's skin. Blood squirted out onto Pinkie's face. Rainbow Dash let out a loud cry of pain. Pinkie Pie continued to cut around Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. Blood was gushing out of the wound as Pinkie Pie peeled the loose skin off of Dash's thigh. Pinkie didn't cut it all the way so the skin was attached to Dash's body by a thin piece of skin. Pinkie yanked as hard as she could, tearing the skin off and brought it over to the bucket of guts. Rainbow Dash was sobbing uncontrollably at this point. She hoped to pass out at any point but figured Pinkie would just shoot her up with some more Adrenaline. Pinkie Pie made her way back to Rainbow Dash and repeated the process on her other thigh. Rarity also had tears in her eyes. She couldn't bear to see her friend in this much pain. Pinkie peeled off the second cutie mark and hit the lever on the floor. The metal slab slowly raised back up to its original position. Then Pinkie dropped the piece of blue flesh into the bucket. She grabbed the handle of the bucket with her mouth and trotted off towards the exit. "See you two later." Pinkie Pie mumbled. "I've got cupcakes to make." Rainbow Dash took this moment to pass out.
Looking For A Rainbow [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Pinkamena Diane Pie (better known by her friends as "Pinkie Pie" was sitting on the floor of the Sugarcube Corner basement, staring at a jar of paper slips. "Which one's gonna die today?" she thought aloud as she plunged her hoof into the jar. She pulled out a slip. "Let's see-- Oh..." She let out a giggle. "Well, if it isn't my good old friend, Rainbow Dash." She stood up and turned to the stairs, knocking over the jar as she left the basement. The slips of paper fell out of the jar. Each had Rainbow Dash's name written on them. Pinkie Pie left Sugarcube Corner and began trotting through Ponyville, her typical smile on her face and her hair as poofy as ever. She walked up to Twilight's house and knocked. A few seconds later, the door opened. "Hey, Pinkie Pie." said Twilight. "What's up?" "Have you seen Rainbow Dash anywhere?" asked Pinkie Pie. "She wasn't in Cloudsdale or her cloud home." "Yeah, I saw her earlier." said Twilight, thinking. "Where was she? ...Oh, yeah. I think I saw her heading to Rarity's." "Okie-dokie-lokie." said Pinkie Pie with a smile and trotted off. "Thanks, Twilight." "Later, Pinkie." said Twilight, closing the door. Pinkie Pie looked over her shoulder and grinned. "Silly, Twilight. You just sentenced your friend to her death." She let out a giggle and looked straight, making her way to Rarity's. Pinkie Pie arrived at Rarity's just as Rainbow Dash was leaving. "Hey, Dash!" said Pinkie cheerfully, approaching her friend. "Oh." said Dash, not sounding particularly happy to see her. "Hey, Pinkie Pie." "Say, Dash..." said Pinkie Pie. "How about you come over to Sugarcube Corner later? I have something fun planned." "Oh, I don't-" "Pleeeeeeease!" Pinkie pleaded. "It's going to be really fun!" "I have things I was gonna do today, Pinkie. I'm sorry. Perhaps another time." She began to walk away. "Please, Dashie. I wanna hang out with some pony." Dash stopped and turned around. "What about the others?" Pinkie looked away, trying to think of an excuse. She finally came up with one and looked back at Rainbow Dash. "All the others are busy." she lied. "Twilight's studying... uh... something. Applejack's doing farming stuff. Fluttershy's tending to her animal friends. And Rarity..." "Is busy on a backorder." Dash finished. "Whatever that is." "Come on, Dashie. It'll be fun." "Well..." said Rainbow Dash. "If you say it's going to be fun..." "Oh, it will." said Pinkie Pie. "Super fun." "What time?" "Hmm..." thought Pinkie aloud. "How about 3:00pm?" "Three's fine." said Rainbow Dash. "I hope it's gonna be as fun as you say it's gonna be." "Oh, Rainbow Dash." said Pinkie Pie. "It's to die for." "Whatever you say, Pinkie." said Dash, trotting off. "See you at three." "Sugarcube Corner!" Pinkie called after her. "Got it!" Dash called back, taking to the skies. Pinkie Pie watched her take off and grinned. "It's working perfectly." she said, before giggling.
A Second Playmate [EXTENDED]New Material in RED Alternate Material in BLUE "Well, I'm going for a walk." said Pinkie Pie, heading for the door. She turned back around. "Don't go anywhere." "Y-You're leaving me here?" asked Rainbow Dash, shocked. "I'll only be gone for a minute or so, silly." said Pinkie Pie, giggling. "Don't worry." Pinkie left the room, leaving Rainbow Dash alone. Dash let out a sigh. Her forelegs and hind legs were starting to fall asleep. Pinkie Pie walked into Sugarcube Corner. "Hey, Pinkie." said the pony behind the cashier counter. "Hey, Mrs. Cake." said Pinkie Pie. Just then Rarity burst through the front door. "Pinkie Pie!" said Rarity. "Oh, hey Rarity." said Pinkie Pie. "Where's Rainbow Dash?" asked Rarity. "Rainbow Dash?" asked Pinkie. "Yes. Rainbow Dash. You two were doing something together around 3, correct?" "Oh, yeah!" said Pinkie cheerfully. "It was fun!" "Y-Yes... Well... I haven't seen Dash since." said Rarity. "You know where she is?" "Why are you in such a hurry to find her?" asked Pinkie. "Is the world ending, or something?" "I need her for something important." "Well, if it's that important, then sure." said Pinkie Pie. "I'll show you where she went." "Really?" asked Rarity, relieved. "That'll be marvelous!" "Oh, I'm sure." said Pinkie Pie. "Follow me." Rainbow Dash was doing everything she could to stay awake, but there was this awful stench coming from somewhere in the room. Then she noticed a pile of bones in the far corner. Next to the pile was a table. Dash almost vomited when she saw what was on it; three decapitated pony heads. Dash's eyes widened. Pinkie wasn't fooling around. This mare was truly insane. Not only had she captured Rainbow Dash, but she has also murdered others before. Dash began to sweat, almost hyperventilating. The pony heads seemed to be staring straight at her, causing her to almost vomit. She closed her eyes tightly and whimpered, knowing that that was probably her fate as well. Pinkie Pie was leading Rarity to the hideout where Rainbow Dash was being held captive. "How much further?" asked Rarity. "We've been walking forever. And my hooves are getting all dirty." "Relax, Rarity." said Pinkie Pie. "We're here!" Rarity looked around. "We're in the Everfree forest." she said. "There's nothing around for miles." "Strange." said Pinkie Pie. "I could've swore I saw her come here." "Why on earth would Rainbow Dash come here?" "How should I know?" asked Pinkie. "I'm not Rainbow DAsh." "Well, I guess we'd better start looking for her." "Yeah." said Pinkie in a much less calm tone. "You do that." The pink mare pulled a small metal bar from her mane. "Where should we st--" began Rarity. Just then something hit her in the back of the head and she passed out. "Sweet dreams, Rarity." said Pinkie Pie, grabbing the unicorn by her hooves. She then began dragging the mare back to Sugarcube Corner, using the cover of night to stay out of sight.
The PitRarity awoke in darkness. She slowly got her feet. "Where am I?" she asked herself. She tried using her magic to create light but nothing happened. She tried again. "What's going on?" she asked herself, reaching up to feel the top of her head. She winced in pain as she touched the stub of a horn that remained on her head. She brought her hoof down and saw blood. She opened her mouth to scream but nothing came out. "WHERE AM I?!" she screamed. "Right where I want you." She looked up as light shown down through the hole. "Pinkie Pie?" she asked "What's going on?" "You're in a pit, silly." "A pit?" she asked. "Why?" "You wanted to be where Rainbow Dash is." "Rainbow Dash is here?" "Of course." said Pinkie Pie. "But why the pit?" "So you can't escape, obviously." said Pinkie Pie. "Where's my horn?" "You mean this?" asked Pinkie, pushing something over the edge of the pit. The object fell in front of Rarity. It was her horn. Rarity looked back up at Pinkie Pie. "What are you going to do?" "Do?" asked Pinkie. "What do you mean." "Well, I'm not here for nothing, right?" Pinkie Pie said nothing for a couple seconds or so. Then she spoke. "Oh, Rarity. I can't fool you. " Pinkie Pies said with a smile. "I'm thinkin' I'm gonna make you a dress." "Make me a dress?" asked Rarity as Pinkie Pie started to leave. "That doesn't seem to bad." "Did I say 'make you a dress'?" asked Pinkie Pie, stopping and looking back down. "I meant 'make you into a dress'. My bad." she said as she left. Rarity just stood there with her mouth open. "Oh, Pinkie Pie." she said to herself. "What's happened to you?"
A Shocking ExperiencePinkie Pie entered the room where Rainbow Dash was being kept. "Oh, no." Pinkie Pie said sarcastically. "Somepony's fallen asleep." "I'm not asleep." said Rainbow Dash. "My whole body's just numb from hanging here." "Numb?" asked Pinkie Pie. "What fun is the upcoming events if you can't feel anything?" Pinkie Pie approached the table with all the sharp objects and picked up a syringe. She trotted over to Rainbow Dash and dug the needle into Rainbow Dash's neck. "What did you just put in me?" asked Rainbow Dash, regaining feeling in her body. "Adrenaline booster." said Pinkie Pie dropping the syringe. Upon hitting the floor, the syringe shattered. "Now..." said Pinkie Pie. "we can begin." A minute later Pinkie had put alligator clips on all four of Dash's legs. The clips were hooked up to a machine that sat next to Pinkie Pie. On the machine was a button and a dial. "Pinkie!" said Dash. "Please. Don't do this!" "You don't even know what I'm gonna do, silly." "I have a pretty good feeling what you're going to do." "Hmm." said Pinkie Pie, thinking. "Then, let's make a game out of this. I'll ask you five questions. For every right answer; nothing happens. For every wrong answer... ZAP! Answer three out of the five questions right, I'll stop. Got it?" Dash gulped. "Yes." "Good." said Pinkie Pie, turning the dial on the machine to 10volts. "Question one: What's my favorite color?" "Pink." said Dash. "Darn! How'd you know?" asked Pinkie. "Uh... lucky guess." "Fine. Question two: What's the name of my pet and what kind of animal is he?" "Gummy's a crocodile." Pinkie Pie smiled. "Wrong." She pushed the button on the machine, sending 10volts through Dash's body. She yelled in pain. Then Pinkie Pie released the button and the pain stopped. Pinkie Pie turned the dial to 20volts. "Question three: What's my favorite food?" "Cupcakes?" asked Dash. "Trick question. I like EVERYTHING!" Pinkie Pie yelled, pressing the button. 20 volts of electricity coursed through Dash's body. She yelled even louder than before. Pinkie Pie set the dial to 30volts. "Question four: What's my full name?" "Pinkamena Diane Pie." said Dash. "Very good." said Pinkie Pie. Again unhappily. "One more to go." "Question five: Did you ever find me annoying to the point of wanting to avoid me?" "Huh?" Dash asked weakly. "Answer... the question." said Pinkie Pie moving her front hoof over the button. "No." said Dash. "Of course not." Pinkie Pie's eyes narrowed. "Wrong." she said deeply. She held the button down, zapping Dash. "You've always found me annoying!" Pinkie Pie yelled. "ALWAYS!" Just then the electricity stopped. "Wait a minute." said Pinkie Pie exceedingly more calm. "There's someone who wants to see you." Pinkie Pie left the room. "Huh?" asked Rainbow Dash weakly. "Who are y--?" Rainbow Dash passed out.
Quickest Way To Lose A FriendTwilight teleported herself and Trixie back to the Library in Ponyville. "Your back." said Spike. "I see your trip was a success." "Hey, Spike." said Twilight. "Where you off to now?" "I'm taking Trixie to talk to the Mayor." said Twilight. "See you when you get back." said Spike. Twilight led Trixie through Ponyville. On their way, ponies stopped to look. "They're all watching me." said Trixie. "That's because they don't trust you. Yet." They arrived at the Mayor's house and Twilight knocked. There was no answer. She knocked harder and the door slowly creaked open. The inside was a mess. Tables overturned and glass lay everywhere. The light in the kitchen was on. "Let's check in the kitchen." said Twilight. "That seems like a good idea." said Trixie. "Seeing as how it's the only light that seems to be working." They stood in the doorway of the kitchen and almost threw up. The Mayor's body was up against the back wall. A knife was shoved through each of her front legs, nailing her to the wall. Her stomach was ripped open and her insides were on the outside. Both her eyes were missing as well as her tongue. Her heart sat on a plate on the kitchen table. There was a message written in blood above the corpse. It read, LOSING A FRIEND'S TRUST IS THE QUICKEST WAY TO LOSE A FRIEND ♥. "This is disgusting." said Trixie. "I have to go. Or else I'll puke." She left the kitchen and stood outside, catching her breath and inhaling fresh air. Twilight joined her. "We need to tell Princess Celestia right away." "Good idea." said Trixie. "How?" "I'll have Spike send her a message." said Twilight. "I'll get the Royal Guard to help us. "Where do you think she is?" asked Trixie. "Knowing Pinkie Pie... Sugarcube Corner."
The Plan"So that's the plan." said Twilight. "Any questions?" She and Trixie were standing outside of Canterlot Castle. "Yeah, I have one." said Trixie. "Why do I have to do it?" "Because Pinkie won't think you're a threat." said Twilight. "She doesn't know you've been practicing." "You sure this will work?" "Positive." The doors to the castle opened and Luna stepped out. "What are you two doing?" she asked. "Trying to figure out how we're going to save our friends." said Twilight. "Friends." said Trixie softly. She liked how it sounded and she smiled. "You're going after Pinkie Pie, aren't you?" asked Luna. "Of course." "It's too dangerous." said Luna. "I can't let you." "You have to." said Twilight. "What if she had Celestia?" Luna was about to say something but stopped. She then let out a sigh. "I can see there's no stopping you." said Luna. "Be careful." "Thanks, Princess." said Twilight. She transported herself and Trixie back into Ponyville. "Well, here I go." said Trixie. "Good luck." Trixie walked up to an alley between two buildings and leaned against the side of one. "Excuse me." said a voice. Trixie turned around and saw a pony. She couldn't see who it was because the pony was wearing a coat and a hat. "Yes?" said Trixie. "Aren't you The Great An Powerful Trixie who was here a while back?" "Why, yes I am." "What are you doing hanging out with Twilight Sparkle?" "We're friends." said Trixie. "Want to here something interesting?" she asked. "Oh, boy. Do I." said the stranger. "She found out who's been behind the recent ponynappings." "Really?" asked the stranger. "Who does she think it is?" "Oh, some pony named Pinkie--" Just then the stranger stabbed her in the neck with a syringe. Trixie tried to stay awake but soon everything went black.
Origin Of PinkamenaPinkie re-entered the basement, infuriated. "I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THIS!" she yelled. "NO MORE PLAYING! IT'S TIME TO DIE!" She grabbed the scalpel of the table and headed for Fluttershy. "I'll start with you." she said raising the scalpel. "Leave her alone!" yelled Rarity. Pinkie Pie whipped around. "YOU'RE IN NO POSITION TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" She turned back to Fluttershy. "NOW HOLD STILL!" She lowered the scalpel to Fluttershy's skin. She let out a yelp as the blade punctured her skin. Just then the basement door flew open. Pinkie dropped the scalpel and whipped around again. "WHAT NOW?!" she yelled. "It's us." said Twilight. "YOU!" Pinkie yelled. "YOU TWO ARE GETTING ON MY NERVES!" "Why are you doing this, Pinkie?" asked Twilight. "Why?" asked Pinkie. "WHY?! I'll tell you why. But you should know. It's all your fault." "What are you talking about?" asked Twilight. "Remember?" asked Pinkie. "That little surprise party you threw for me a while back? The one where I was left alone all day?" "That was because it was a surprise party." "Even so. One of you could have hung out with me. It doesn't take one pony, two unicorns, and two pegasuses to throw a surprise party." "Maybe you're right." said Twilight. "But that doesn't give you a reason to kill." "I'm not using that as a reason to kill." said Pinkie. "I'm using it as a reason for how I became the pony I am now. When I was left alone, all the happiness inside me was replaced with sadness and anger. After realizing you were throwing me a surprise party, I started to feel happy again. But it was too late. The anger had corrupted my heart. Every day my heart grew blacker and blacker until I became this." Pinkie paused. "So, like I was sayin'... it's your fault." "Pinkie--" Twilight started. "Enough chit-chat." said Pinkie Pie. "Time to die."
Confronting PinkamenaPinkie Pie lunged at Twilight. She stepped aside as Pinkie shot passed. She stopped and spun around. Trixie levitated a scalpel and threw it at Pinkie. Pinkie dodged it and the scalpel bounced of the wall and fell to the floor. "Nice try." said Pinkie. She slipped behind Twilight and kicked her in the legs. She fell to the floor as Pinkie jumped on top of her. Pinkie picked up the scalpel and brought it above Twilight's eye. Pinkie was about to stab Twilight's eye when Trixie tackled her to the floor. Pinkie kicked her off and stood up. "You're the most annoying one there is." said Pinkie. "Proud to disappoint you." said Trixie. Pinkie threw the scalpel at Trixie's face. Trixie stepped to the side and watched the scalpel fly across the room. She looked back just as Pinkie punched her across the face. She fell to the floor. "How's that feel?" she asked. "Probably like this." said Twilight, socking her in the face. Pinkie stumbled backwards and grabbed her cheek. "Not bad for a bookworm." said Pinkie. "A bookworm?" asked Twilight. "How about a magical bookworm?" Twilight levitated the tab;e with all the knives and threw it at Pinkie. It smacked her in the side, knocking her into the wall. Pinkie groaned as she pushed it off. "Enough is enough." said Pinkie. "Giving up?" asked Twilight. "No way." said Pinkie. "Not by a long shot."
A Bad Apple"What are you going to do, now?" asked Twilight. "That." said Pinkie, pointing to the basement door. Twilight and the others looked. Standing in the doorway was Applebloom. "Applebloom!" said Rarity. "There you are. Applejack's been..." she stopped. Applebloom had a blank expression on her face, as though she was in a trance. "Applebloom?" The little filly entered the basement and stood next to Pinkie Pie. "What's going on here?" asked Twilight. "This is my little helper." said Pinkie. "What?" asked Twilight and the others, shocked. "In fact, she helped me with our first victim." "Which was?" asked Rarity. "Gilda." said Pinkie. "That was a fun one." "Gilda?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Oh, yeah." said Applebloom. "I remember that one." "What have you done to her?" asked Twilight. "Nothing." said Pinkie. "I simply needed a helper so I taught Applebloom. She really took off." Pinkie laughed. "I'm not gonna lie. The first one was messy." She laughed again. "You're sick." said Trixie." "Sick?" asked Pinkie. "Yeah." said Trixie. "She's just a filly. How could you?" "Oh, it was simple." said Pinkie. "It was fun, too." said Applebloom. "Gilda was pretty annoying. We did Equestria a favor by getting rid of her." "Got that right." said Pinkie. "You're gonna die for this." said Rainbow Dash. "That's funny, coming from you." said Pinkie. "You're closer to death than all of us combined." "I've heard just about enough." said Twilight. "This has to end." "You know, you're right." said Pinkie. "This conversation has been going on far too long."
