Chapters The Life of Two Murderers
Chapter 1:How it all started
It was a beautiful summer afternoon. The birds were chirping, the bees were buzzing, and the flowers were begging to be pollenated. Me and Rainbow Dash were teaching eachother certain things. I was teaching her how to take care of her pet Tank properly, while she taught me how to fly strong and fast.
"You can do it Fluttershy!" Rainbow said, flapping her wings rapidly, cheering for me.
I had no idea how fast I was going, but I though I was going at the speed of light. I had no idea what was going on around me.
I had no idea what was going to happen.
Twilight was with Celestia doing something, Pinkie Pie was making cupcakes( I had NO clue what she made them out of at this time), Rarity was doing some deal with Photo Finish, and Applejack was prepareing for another Applebuck Season.
The day was just me and Rainbow Dash.
I stopped to take a breather. For my size and barely flying at all, going 13 miles an hour was tough. My animal friends were proud of me for all the hard work I did. Rainbow came up to me, patting me on the back.
"Way to go Fluttershy. Though, I suggest you flap your wings in a continuous motion rather than rapidly." Rainbow said, with a grin on her face.
I was sweaty and hot. I wanted to end my training for awhile and just hang around.
"Wanna go to Sugar Cube Corner and get a bite to eat?" I said, trying to breath.
"Alright then." She said, nudging me twoard the direction of Sugar Cube Corner, "After this though, back to training."
We were going on our way. The gravel crunched under my hooves as we walked to the sweet store. We got there the same time our friend Lyra did. We said hi to eachother, and walked into the store to get something for our sweet tooths.
"Hey guys! Want to try out a new cupcake. It's called Caramel Delux!" Pinkie Pie giggled.
Her main was poofy like always with that cotton candy look. Her eyes always popped from the rest of her body. She was jumping in delight about us tast testing her latest creations.
"Sure Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow said in glee.
She took a bite from the caramel cupcake.
"This is pretty good."
"I would like one to please." I told Pinkie Pie, putting two bits on the table.
"Oh no Flutters, you get one for free! You to Lyra!" Pinkie said, handing Lyra a cupcake.
Lyra smiled, took the cupcake, and trotted away taking small bites out of the creamy pastry. I tasted it.
It was good.
Rainbow Dash and I ate our pastries and was about to leave when...
"Oh, I almost forgot, this was in my mail this morning. It must have ben mixed up with your guy's mail. It has both your names on it, so it must be from Cloudsdale!"
Pinkie handed me the letter. I opened it and gave it to Rainbow.
"Dear Chosen Pegasus," She read. "I would like to announce that the 100 year tradition has carried on for cloudsdale for two of the bestest friends to compeat. We have chosen you, Rainbow Dash, and your best friend Fluttershy to compeat this year. Please report to the Cloudsdale auditorium by 12:00. Don't be late. The Wonderbolts."
Rainbow looked at the great tower of Ponyvill.
"Oh no! It's two minutes before 12! We gotta go!"
Rainbow grabbed my hoove and flew as fast as her wings could take her. I helped by flapping my wings too, lightining up her load of weight...me.
We reached the auditorium dead on. We got inside and for a strange reason, the doors slamed behind us. A bright light showed the 3 Wonderbolts behind a wooden stand. Spitfire, Soren, and Fleetfoot were wearing Thunderbolt suits instead of their Wonderbolt suits.
"What in Equestria is going on here?!" Rainbow yelled at Spitfire.
"Don't worry Rainbow Dash..." Spitfire said, "This is just a simple......test....."
Spitfire grinned and cued 2 other Wonderbolts to open a door. Another Wonderbolt pushed Rainbow Dash and me onto a platform and had an assortment of weapons for us to choose.
"You must fight!" Spitfire said with a crazy look in her eyes, "One of you will live and one of you will die."
"What happens if we don't fight?" I said looking at the puffy clouds under my hooves.
"THEN YOU WILL BOTH DIE!!!!"
The Life of Two Murderers
Rainbow Dash and I were shocked. I never felt so scared. And I'm scared alot. The floor parted and was a circular platform high above cloudsdale with cameras watching our every move. All the Wonderbolts came up and watched.
We couldn't fly.
"IS THIS SOME SORT OF CRUEL JOKE?!!?" Rainbow yelled out to Spitfire,
"Ahhhh Rainbow Dash," Spitfire sighed, "It's just tradition. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!" She yelled.
A gong rang out into my ears and the fight began. Rainbow grabbed a long, thick knife and a axe.
I grabbed a butcher knife.
We circled around eachother for what seemed like forever. None of us made a move.
Rainbow threw the knife at me.
It hit my leg.
I started to scream in pain. I could feel it's sharp tip digging into my skin and bone. I tore it out fast like it was a band-aid. My blood was covering my whole leg and onto the white cloud. I started getting dizzy but got up. I used all my strength to charge at her and cut her cheek. She backed up and I tried to do it again.
She hit me upside the head with a kick of her hooves.
I hit the ground with a thud and looked strait at Rainbow Dash.
She came closer and closer till she was right on top of me. Her eyes sparkled in the rays of the sun. Her rainbow mane was glossy and bright. I felt dizzy and gazed at her.
She healed the axe over my head and took aim.
"Yes....." Spitfire said in glee, " YES!!!! GET ON WITH IT RAINBOW DASH!!!!! KILL HER!!!!!!"
She look at me.
I looked back.
She raised the axe high above her.
She put it down and cried,
"I....can't...."
She dropped the axe and fell on her knees and wept in her hooves.
Time seemed to stop.
I layed there and thought "Why am I here? Sure I take care of the animals but somepony else can do that too. Rainbow Dash has a whole life ahead of her. Nopony will ever be as unique as her"
I got up slowly and so did Rainbow.
"Fluttershy....I can't do it.....I...just..." She tried to choke back tears and looked at me.
"Rainbow Dash," I said putting my hoove on her sholder, "Its ok. I'll be ok. I know you can't do it..."
I put the butcher knife to my chest.
"But I can't let you die."
I struck down through my stomach, my organs and my blood oozing out fron the giant cut.
Rainbow Dash was shocked at what happened in two seconds.
"You're the greatest...friend....ever.....Dashie...."
I fell off and everything went to black.
The last thing I saw was Rainbow Dash.
That's what I hoped it would be.
"FLUTTERSHY!!!!!! NO!!!!!!" Rainbow screamed trying to catch me.
She was too late.
She weaped and cried while Wonderbolts were taking her out of the stadium. They tossed her out and shut the metal doors behind them.
Rainbow dash just sat there. Her heart broken and filled with sorrow, grief, guilty, and hate.
She went home and shut the door. Lying on her bed, crying and regretting everything that just happened. Suddenly the phone rang. She picked it up.
"Hello?.." She said.
"Hi Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie said on the other side, "I need help with something tomorrow. Could you help?"
"Well...You see...I-"
"GREAT!" Pinkie said gleefully.
"Sugar Cube Corner. Eleven o'clock." She said becoming serious.
"No later"

Chapter 3: Pinkamenas Story
I was happy once.
I was a happy party pony. Loving life. Happy with my friends. I had bouncy, curly hair. Mr and Mrs Cake loved me like I was their daughter. I wish I was.
Then I wouldn't have to do what I do now.
My family tradition is...wrong.
Sense it was in my blood to murder, I loved what I did. It didn't take much to get me to murder. It was the same thing everyday though. Pick a number out of the jar. See who belonged to that number. Invite them over. Knock them out. Strap them to a table. Wait till they wake up. Have fun torturing. Kill them. Bake them into cupcakes. Feed them to everypony in town. Clean up. Go to bed. Repeat.
It was boring to me after awhile. Especially sense they where all background ponies. I mean, I killed Sea Swirl, Silver Spoon, Sunny rays, and even Gilda.
I will never eat a griffin again.
They taste like crap bro.
Crap.
But today was special....for some reason. I got a letter today but it wasn't mine. It had Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy on the front.
Dumb mailman.
I killed Caramel last night because 1) his number was pulled and 2) his cutie mark made no sense what so ever. I put in some real caramel for effect.
Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Lyra walked in.
"Hey guys! Want to try out a new cupcake. It's called Caramel Delux!" I giggled.
My mane was poofy like always with that cotton candy look. I was jumping in delight about them tast testing my latest creation.
"Sure Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow said in glee.
She took a bite from the caramel cupcake.
"This is pretty good."
"I would like one to please." Fluttershy told me, putting two bits on the table.
"Oh no Flutters, you get one for free! You to Lyra!" I said, handing Lyra a cupcake.
Lyra smiled, took the cupcake, and trotted away taking small bites out of the creamy pastry.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy ate the pastries and was about to leave when...
"Oh, I almost forgot, this was in my mail this morning. It must have ben mixed up with your guy's mail. It has both your names on it, so it must be from Cloudsdale!"
I handed Fluttershy the letter. She opened it and gave it to Rainbow.
"Dear Chosen Pegasus," She read. "I would like to announce that the 100 year tradition has carried on for cloudsdale for two of the bestest friends to compeat. We have chosen you, Rainbow Dash, and your best friend Fluttershy to compeat this year. Please report to the Cloudsdale auditorium by 12:00. Don't be late. The Wonderbolts."
Rainbow looked at the great tower of Ponyvill.
"Oh no! It's two minutes before 12! We gotta go!"
Rainbow grabbed Fluttershy's hoove and flew as fast as her wings could take her. I waved goodbye but they didn't see me. I went back inside and shut the doors. Closing time.
After this, I have to pick a number out of the jar. I shook it around and it seemed like forever. I finally stopped and put my hoove inside. I was exided for whose number would come out next. I pulled out one. I checked to see who it was.
I grinned.
Rainbow Dash.
I was jumping in joy as now I knew the last thing she would see is me! It's going to be so perfect! We will spend her last moment together!
It's been 1 hour. I picked up the phone and dialed Rainbow's number. It ringed and ringed until,
"Hello?.." She said.
"Hi Rainbow Dash!" I said, "I need help with something tomorrow. Could you help?"
"Well...You see...I-"
"GREAT!" I said gleefully, ignoring why.
"Sugar Cube Corner. Eleven o'clock." I said becoming serious.
"No later"

Chapter 4: We Meet at Last
So yea, you know what happens.
The whole "Cupcakes" thing.
I am to lazy to explain it because everyone who is on this website has seen it before. How could you NOT see it? It's like the main thing that started this all.
Anyways, once I was done with that, I went outside to burn the rest of Rainbow Dash's corps when I saw a bright light comming from some bushes. Like a reflection on a watch when people get it in the right position of the light. Then the beam hits your eye. It burns.
I HATE those people.
That's why I killed them.
So I put Rainbow's corps back in my bacement and went to check out the shinning light. I wondered what it could be. It could be a diamond Rarity lost or one of Applejacks plows. The forest was thick and I was lucky I didn't get scratched on the way over to the mystery object. But I never expected what could be there.
As I got closer, I noticed something.
A yellow hoove comming from out of the bush.
It was pale, so I thought it was an hoove of BonBons that I forgot to burn. But, why would I burn a hoove? They sell good at the Black Market. I went closer to grab it when I saw who it really was...
Fluttershy.
The shinning light was a butcher knife sliced all the way down her stomach. Intestens showing, practically oozing out of her.
I panicked. What will I do? What should I do? Should I disect her? But hurting companions without order is a big no-no. Also she is my best friend. I know I said Twilight is my bestest friend, but now she makes and talks to Night White or whatever that doll is. Just watch the tumblr.
I took her back inside and layed her on the table. I tried to puncture her with adrenalin but it didn't work. I did it 12 times till I took her pulse.
She was dead.
I cried and wept till I remembered. I could bring her back! I have help! I can save her. But one problem....
I need Paranoid Twilights help...
The Life of Two Murderers
Chapter 6: Fluttershy's New Life
It was all black. Being dead was like flying in an endless realm of nothing. You re-live your past memories. Heck, you could be re-reading this story cause it's a memory. My point is, I woke up. It was a blur of mixed colors and lights. I could feel coldness on my back and warm breaths in my face.
I gasped out for breath as a figure stared upon me.
"Ah it worked!" I heard. It was muffled and low. A purple blur stood befor me.
"Now, Fluttershy. I need you to sit up." The Purple blob said, making motions with its hooves to get me up.
I slowly sat up and everything stopped being a blur. It was Twilight. Her mane looked terrible as well as the atmosphere. The room was dark and cold. I didn't remember this place.
Then it hit me.
A giant gust of pain throughout my body. It circled arould me, getting into my head. I couldn't move.
"Ahh. So it does possess you. And your eyes are white, as expected. Perfect. Hopefully it doesn't last long." Twilight said, going upstairs.
It took only a matter of seconds befor a pink, flat mane mare came down holding another pony. The pink one just stared at me. I walked up, and grabbed the pony out of her hooves. I strapped the pony on the table without thought.
I grabbed the butcher knife.
The cold feeling of metal on my hooves felt great. I got to work. I rapidly started chopping away anything I could. The pony screamed till it faded into nothing but gurgles and coughs. I put down the knife and started ripping out all her organs and bones by hoove.
I stopped.
I dropped on the floor, as reality hit me strait across the face. The pony I killed was Beach Berry. She was innocent and kind. But now she is just a pile of skin and internal organs. Her puples were blank like a dead fish. Saliva and stomach acid still came oozing out of her mouth.
"I...I...didn't ...mean...t-to do that. I...I just was...t-taken over." I managed to spit out.
"It's ok Fluttershy." The pink mare said, leaning closer to me.
"Do...do I...k-know you?" I said, stareing at her up and down till I saw her cutie mark.
Three balloons.
One yellow, the other two blue.
"P-Pinkie Pie? Wha-what happened to your mane and-" I looked around the room we were in. "Where are we?"
"Oh! You're in my bacement!" Pinkie said. "And don't call me Pinkie Pie. My name is Pinkamena. Pinkamena Diane Pie." She got up, and looked down at me.
I saw my hooves.
They smelled of rotten flesh and were stained with blood. The blood dried fast and it stained all over my body and mane. The butcher knife layed close to me, soaked in blood and had tiny parts of organs. I then noticed what I had committed. What act I just created.
The act of a murder.
"What have I become?" I said as my voice lost its sweet sound and more of a deeper tone.
"A monster..." Pinkamena said,
"Like me."

Chapter 7: After the Cupcake Incident
Chapter 7: After the Cupcake Incident
Why is the world so cruel?
Is it the world on it's own?
Or is it the ponies who control it?
If some pony asked you if you wanted to go to Ponyvill, you would respond as "HELLZ YEAH!" But, you wouldn't in my opinion. It's sad that the ponies we all love have turned out to be phsycos. I have yet to become one, but not till later in the time and space. This gets me to wonder, WHY THE HELL DO I GET KILLED BY EVERYPONY?!?!?!?!?!?! I mean, why does the rainbow pegasus get brutally murdered all the time?
This is me.
Rainbow Dash.
Dead.
In an endless realm of nothing but the darkness that has consumed my friends, then me.I can feel its energy going through my veins. It's penetrating my insides and all around my body. I got a dark color, not like the rainbow I used to be. It is more black. The darkness consumed my heart like it was drinking water. It hurt my whole body till then, I felt nothing.
The darkness was my new home.
I woke in my old bed. It was nice to be back in my house(that Hasbro doesn't bother to make and put on the show. Bastards.) Or, did I even leave in the first place? Was it all a nightmare? I checked in my tall mirror. It was just an old one, but it wasn't cracked or anything. But I saw myself with no rainbow. Just blackness.
The darkness had consumed me at last.
But, I died. Did I cheat death? Will I live forever? I take a good look at myself. My cutie mark is now cracked. And...there. I could have sworn Pinkamena took it off. Whatever.
I stared at my reflection like it was a unidentified object that landed in my house. How badly my life became. Watching my best friend stab herself. The look on her face was horrifying as she fell to the Earth. I started to cry just thinking about it. How I could have saved her.
How I wasn't fast enough to save her.
Then, I got tortured and killed by my Earth Pony pal. It was painful and terrifying as I witnessed my own organs in my face. The worst part was it was the sweet, fun filled pony, Pinkie Pie.
I was filled with tears by this time. What the end of my life was. How many rules we broke during everything But, I realized something.
Why follow the rules, when life itself doesn't even matter anymore.
I grinned at my own reflection now knowing what things I can do and live forever. What things I can accomplish that no pony can do without certain death. To test this, I grabbed a knife I have been saving for suicide (don't ask). I jabbed in my stomach. It hurt, but I didn't die or even fall to the ground. From this I smiled even more. I then heard a knock on my front door. Not knowing what it could be, I opened it.
"Hi...Dashie..."
Fluttershy collapsed on the floor of my living room.
The Life of Two Murderers
Chapter 8: Brand New Fluttershy (Part 1)
Everything flashed before my eyes. The Cloudsdale catastrophe. The fall of me. My life ending in one hit. When I was possessed and killing that innocent pony. Hearing her cries and the gurgles of blood going down her cheeks. How it all stopped suddenly.
I sat there on the cold pavement, crying in sorrow of what I did. Can you imagine a cute, yellow Pegasus pony killing another pony? Well, you can certainly imagine a pink, party pony doing that!
Anyways, I was now in shock of everypony's favorite pink mare being the way she is now. Was she like this when we were all friends? Where is this chamber at anyways? Is it under the Canterlot Castle? Or is it under Raritys house?
If it is, I don't want to find out.
Pinkie Pi- I mean Pinkamena, was walking over to the table. She grabbed a pink ribbon and walked back over to me. Grabbing the butcher knife out of my hooves, she spoke to me.
"So, Flutters," she began, wrapping the ribbon around the handle, " How was your daaaay?"
I just sat there, amazed as to how she can act like this is a normal day to day basis. It then came to my attention, that she was giving the butcher knife back to me.
"What's this? No. No, I-I can't take this. I'm a monster. Stay away from me." I said, noticing the tone of my voice low and not so cute anymore.
Not like the show.
" Awww it's ok. I'm a monster too. We're in this together. And now, you can live with me!"
"You? A monster? But, your a party pony. A lovable pony. Not a-"
Just like that, the room got better lighting as it came into view. You should know what it looks like. That center piece with the pony heads. The banner made of skin that reads "Life is a Party" It was covered in blood.
"This is my basement. Every day, I come down here and pull out a number from that jar." Pinkamena pointed her hoof at a big jar in the corner of the room.
It was a crystal kind of jar and it had small strips of paper to about a quarter way to the top. It was on a crimson red desk that was, i guessed, painted with dry, clotted blood. Next to the jar was a candle and a journal like notebook, made from pony skin, looked like Silver Spoons . It had every ponies name on it and next to their names, where numbers. The most resent one was #8643
Beach Berry.
Before I could look at the one that said #666, Pinkamena closed the book. She gave me the 'Don'tlookatitorIwillskinyoualive' look. I told myself:
'Just back away Fluttershy, just back, the fuck, away.'
I walked over to the tabe which still had Beach Berry on it. It startled me on how much I have just ruined. This shitty pit is now my home. I didn't like that at all. It smelled down here of rotting flesh and had a dark vibe coming in. This was terrible! My whole life, gone. All thanks to that stupid "Tradition" or waeva.
"Well if your gonna stay for as long as you live, you need a place to stay." Pinkamena said as she gathered the rest of Beach Berry. She put them in the corner of the room with other buckets covered in guts and hooves and things. Gross. Pinkamena then opened the door out of the basement and gestured me out.
"Well," Pinkamena said with a giant smile.
"Coming?"

Chapter 5: Paranoid's Help
I went over to Twilight's house for help. Because I told you I would. It took awhile because I had to poof up my mane and everything and went out into the sun.
It was bright.
My eyes hurt.
Anyways by the time I reached Twilight's house, I have to admit I was creeped out.
Twilight was talking to her doll Night White and Big Mac was there playing with Smarty Pants. They were having what I think is a picnic. Smarty looked terrible and so did Night White. The room was dusty as well as Twilight. Her mane was scraggy and tiny bits were misplaced. She had bags under her eyes and Spike was nowhere to be found.
I sucked in a DEAP breath and knocked on the door. It took a while but she finally answered. She looked at me for a couple of seconds before yelling out-
"Pinkie Pie! It's so good to see an old FRIEND of mine. Would you like some tea?" Twilight said, pointing her hoove at the little picnic. "Me and my FRIEND Big Mac were just getting started. Right Big Mac?"
"Eeyyyuup." He said, lifting up Smarty Pants. Then hugged him.
"Yyeeeeeaaaaa... um... Twilight? Can I speak to you in private?" I said grabbing Twilight's hoove and slamming the door behind us.
I took her to my house and down in the bacement. I showed her the dead Fluttershy on the table.
"Can you help her? Please tell me you can..." I said as my mane started to flatten again.
It doesn't stay up for long.
"Hmmmmm..." Twilight rubbed the bottom of her chin. " Yes. Yes I can. But you have to sew her stomach back together. And it might take awhile."
While I sewed Fluttershy's stomach, Twilight went to get a book. She said she cancled her "Tea Time" just to do this and I owed her one. Yea.
One good kick in the flank.
So she started the ritual and I went to get somepony knew to kill. The number was 2341, which was Beachberry (a re-color of Twilight that Hasbro just made up and put her in a box with other re-colors). It didn't take long to get her. When I got back...
It was a success.
"She will have to be possessed first. After about 2 minutes though, she will be like herself." Twilight said. "Now if you will excuse me, I have a tea party to get back too. Or reschedule. So I can have fun with my FRIEND."
And she trotted out.
I went down to the bacement to see.
"Fluttershy? Fluuuuuuttershy? Flu-"
She was right by the table. Eyes empty, pure white. She walked up to me and snatched BeachBerry away from me. She walked over and set her on the table and strapped her in.
Then she grabbed the butcher knife.
