Chapters The guards pulled Pinkie Pie out of the building she's been using as her hideout. She was kicking and screaming. The slapped some chains around her legs so she couldn't escape. They threw her into the back of the chariot. The Royal Guards hooked themselves up to the front of the chariot and flew off. Pinkie Pie sat quietly in the back. She looked over the edge of the chariot and saw a lake coming into view. She opened her mouth and raised the chain, which was holding her front legs, to a sharp metal tooth in her mouth. She started sawing away. One of the guards looked back and smirked.
Pinkie Pie stood up and looked down at the mutilated body of Celestia's Royal Guards.
A Royal Guard burst through the doors of Canterlot Castle. Princesses Celestia and Luna were standing in the center of the foyer talking to each other. They turned to look at the guard.
Pinkie Pie arrived at Fillydelphia. To her advantage, no pony knew who she was. She had washed the blood off in the bay so as not to attract suspicion. She walked a few feet until she saw a post office.
Twilight and Trixie entered the hospital room.
Pinkie stood in the doorway of the post office, looking outside. She watched all the ponies walking by. Pinkie Pie heard something behind her. She looked back and saw that the unicorn at the front desk was making her way to the restrooms. Pinkie went back inside and followed her. The unicorn entered the ladies' room. She continued walking until she saw a leg sticking out from under the wall of a stall. She went to investigate and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw it. It was the mutilated body of a pony. She stepped back and turned to leave. She stopped when she saw Pinkie Pie standing in the doorway.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked Pinkie.
"Umm..." said the unicorn, frightened. "Uh..."
"Get over here." said Pinkie. The unicorn didn't move. "NOW!" Pinkie yelled. "Don't make me kill you, too." The unicorn slowly moved forward until she was in front of Pinkie. "Good girl."
"W-what are you going to d-do with m-me?" asked the unicorn.
"Do?" asked Pinkie. "Well, that all depends on you, of course."
"What do you mean?"
"Tell nopony about what you saw and I'll let you live." She started to head back towards the desk. "Follow me."
The unicorn followed Pinkie Pie, returning to her spot behind the counter. Pinkie leaned against the side.
"What do you want me to do?" asked the unicorn. "I'll do anything."
"I know you will." said Pinkie. "But first things first. What do I call you?"
"My name?" asked the unicorn. "M-my name is F-Fern."
"Fern, huh?" asked Pinkie. "You're gonna help me dispose of the body in the bathroom."
"Oh, no." said Fern. "I can't."
Pinkie Pie held Fern against the wall. "What was that?"
"N-nothing." said Fern. "I'll d-do it."
"But first," said Pinkie Pie. "Close the store."
There was a noise at the front of the post office. Pinkie Pie and Fern looked and saw a Royal Guard standing at the entrance. Pinkie Pie dove behind the counter to hide.
"Make him go away." Pinkie Pie whispered. "If you let him know I'm here, I'll kill you. Slowly."
Fern started to sweat as the guard approached.
"Excuse me, ma'am." said the guard. "Have you seen a pink pony around here?"
"There are many pink ponies." said Fern.
"This one's name is Pinkie. Has balloons for a cutie mark?"
"No." said Fern. "Sorry."
"Well, let somepony know as soon as you see her."
"Why?" asked Fern. "Is she dangerous?"
"Extremely." said the guard. "Let's just say that you wouldn't want to be anywhere near her unless you have a death wish."
"Oh." said Fern. "I'll definitely let you know."
"Thank you, ma'am." said the guard, leaving the building.
Pinkie Pie stepped out from behind the desk as Fern locked the front door.
"You did good." said Pinkie. "And just like the guard said...I'm dangerous. And if you don't have a death wish, I suggest you do what I say."
Fern opened one eye. Pinkie Pie was asleep on the bed near the door. She decided to take this opportunity to make an escape. She slowly removed the covers on her bed and slid to the floor, keeping an eye on Pinkie Pie the whole time. She made her way to the door and slowly opened it, causing it to creak. She started to sweat, expecting to see Pinkie Pie wake up. She didn't. Fern let out a quiet sigh of relief once the door was opened all the way. She crept out into the lounge. It was dark so she couldn't see where she was going. She bumped into a table. She quickly looked back to the door but could see nothing. She slowly backed away from the table as the lights turned on, blinding her.
Fern lay in bed and stared at the ceiling. Her thigh still hurt a lot. Her eyes were still wet from crying. Pinkie Pie got out of bed and headed to the door. She turned to Fern.
The next morning, Fern limped out of the bedroom and into the lounge. Pinkie Pie was sitting at the table on the opposite side.
"Okay, girls..." said Twilight. Herself, Trixie, Fluttershy, and Rarity had gathered at the Library. "we need to come up with a plan."
Pinkie Pie let out a sigh as she sat down at the table in the lounge. Fern was cooking something on the stove. She had looked over when Pinkie Pie entered the room.
Pinkie Pie left the building and stood outside. She let out a sigh and sat down next to the door. Thoughts of her past life started to flow through her memory.
Twilight walked up to Trixie, who was standing in front of Macy's.
Fern sat down at the table across from Pinkie Pie.
There was a knock at the door. Pinkie looked at the lounge door.
Pinkie looked around at all of her old friends.
Pinkie Pie lunged at Twilight. She stepped out of the way before Pinkie could bite her. Trixie ran at Pinkie and levitated some rocks. She threw the rocks at Pinkie but they were dodged. Pinkie Pie slipped behind Trixe and kicked her in the back. Trixie fell to the ground. When she tried to get up, Pinkie held her front leg down with a hoof.
Macy left the shop, trembling, and made her way to the post office. She levitated a key to the door's lock and unlocked it. She put the key back in the bag she was carrying. She opened the door and stepped into the lobby. She closed the door behind her and made her way to the lounge door. Just then something pinned her head on the front desk.
What Happened Last Time...
Pinkie Pie went looking for Rainbow Dash. Twilight tells Pinkie that she's at Rarity's. Pinkie Pie goes to Rarity's and finds Rainbow Dash. She tells Dash that she has something fun planned for them. Something to die for. Rainbow Dash, not knowing Pinkie's motives, arrives at Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie Pie tells her that she'll bake. After eating a pre-made cupcake, Rainbow Dash passes out. She awakes in a basement where she is strapped down on a metal slab. Pinkie Pie tells her that she'll literally be baking. After Pinkie Pie sings "I Can't Decide", written by Scissor Sisters, she goes out for a walk and captures Rarity. Pinkie Pie puts her in a pit after she cuts off her horn. Pinkie then zaps Rainbow Dash with electricity before bringing Rarity into the room to see her. Pinkie then pulls a pony out of the back room and cuts her eyes out. Afterwards, Pinkie slits the pony's throat in front of Rainbow Dash.
The Story Continues...
Fern took a deep breath as she entered the bathroom. The body from the mutilated pony was starting to stink. She held a hoof to her nose as she levitated a mop, a bucket, and a large plastic bag over to the stall with the body. She held back vomit as she mopped up any blood she saw. She then levitated the body into the plastic bag and tied it shut. She et the bag to the side as she continued to mop around the stall. Pinkie Pie leaned against the front desk as Fern left the bathroom with the plastic bag.
Twilight knocked on the barn door of Sweet Apple Acres. Applejack opened the door.
Fern returned to her seat at the table. She laid her head down on the table and sighed.
Just then there was a knock. Pinkie stopped and closed her mouth.
Just before biting Twilight's neck, Macy knocked Pinkie Pie to the ground. She then stood next to Twilight.
Fern opened her eyes.
