Twilight was up early in the morning; she had just finished raising the sun. Her mane was stained with dried blood from the mare she had killed the day before. Satisfied with her work, the lavender alicorn began wandering the halls of the castle, trying to find her informer. As she looked down the hall that lead to the throne room, she spotted the stallion. He was talking to one of the royal guards. The blood covered mare walked up to the two, startling them both.

“Ah, Princess Sparkle, I didn’t see you there,” the white unicorn stallion said.

“You were supposed to meet me in the archives, Type Write.” The princess of Canterlot reprimanded.

“Sorry Princess Sparkle. I just got done with an important meeting and…” the tan maned unicorn began.

“I don’t want to hear your excuses Type Write. Tell me how the preparations for the celebration are going?” the blood coated princess questioned her advisor.

“Well uh…” the stallion started with a hint of nervousness in his voice. “A guard claims he saw Princess Celestia … inside the castle yesterday.”

“WHAT!” Twilight yelled. “WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED OF THIS WHEN IT HAPPENED!”

“I…I…I was not informed until this morning ether,” Type Write said.

“You're my advisor. You have to inform me when shit happens, and if you don’t then I’ll just kill you and get a new advisor.” The lavender mare explained with strained calmness.

“Y…Yes princess. I will make sure it never happens again,” Type Write confirmed with his leader.

“You better fucking hope so,” The alicorn princess threated the stallion. She took a deep breath. “Well still, how are the preparations of the celebration of my triumph?”

“Everything is ready for tonight. We triple checked to make sure,” the advisor pony said.

“Everything is ready? Well done Type Write, that might just be a record.” The princess of Canterlot said, changing her mood.

“Thank you your majesty, but uh … what do you want us to do about Celestia?” the advisor pony asked.

Twilight thought for a second before saying, “I will not be concerned. It was probably a hallucination, and even if it was Celestia I’ve killed her before. I can do it again.”

Rarity woke up nine hours after silencing her victim. She descended down the stair into the kitchen, where she saw her sister Sweetie Belle siting at the round table in the corner of the room, eating some eggs.

“Good morning Sweetie Belle. How are you doing today?” the white unicorn asked her little sister.

“My day has been great so far, even though it’s still early," the filly replied. The ex-tailor mare was about to reply but was stopped by the sound of a scream. When she walked into the other room, she saw the red mare's throat slit and Pinkamena standing in the corner of the room.

“Why the hell did you kill her Pinkie?” Rarity asked.

“Well, while I do like to keep my victims alive as long as I can, you don’t leave them alive for more than seven hours," the pink mare replied, wiping her blade. "Although, no pony has survived that long for me.”

“Fine then. I’ll just kill them very slowly,” the unicorn mare said with a pouty attitude.

“Whatever makes you happy,” Pinkamena replied.

“Hey Pinkamena, have you seen Fluttershy around?” Rarity asked her friend.

“Nope. Not since she and Applejack went to try and talk to Twilight about … five years ago. Why do you ask?” the insane pink mare replied.

“I haven’t seen her since then too. Do you think we should go check her cottage?” the purple maned unicorn asked.

“Why? Do you care about her, or do you just want to have sex with her?” the pink pony mocked.

“NO! Neither,” Rarity shouted at the mare. “I just want to make sure she stayed in Ponyville so we don’t need to send the guards on a while goose chase," she explained.

“Well if she left five years ago, I think she would be dead by now. But if you want to go check on her, might as well.” Pinkamena said to the unicorn.

“Ok. Well I guess we should leave now then.” The tailor pony turned back to the kitchen. “Sweetie Belle! Pinkie and I are going out into the town. Don’t bring back any other ponies until I get back.”

The two mares then proceeded to walk out of the boutique and into the large town. None of the other ponies made eye contact with either of them while they walked. Most of the ponies didn’t even dare to look at them. Since they had been ruling Ponyville for seven years today, the two mares where use to this kind of behavior.

Rarity and Pinkamena reached the small wooden cottage in no time. As the white unicorn was about to knock on the oak wood door Pinkamena pushed it open. “You know, you could at least have the decency to knock,” the unicorn mare explained to the pink mare.

“I don’t give a fuck. We are the rulers of Ponyville and we can do whatever the hell we want,” the pink pony replied. Rarity held a frustrated look for a second before calming down and calling Fluttershy’s name.

After calling out into the cottage a butter yellow pegasus’s head poked around the corner of the kitchen. “Oh. Hi Rarity, hi Pinkie Pie.” The shy Pegasus nearly whispered.

“Fluttershy, where have you been darling? We haven’t seen you in five years,” Rarity said.

“Um, well … I’ve been here.” The butter yellow pegasus answered.

“But how could you go this long without food?” the unicorn mare continued on with a new question.

“I go out into the Ever-Free Forest to get berries and stuff for supplies,” Fluttershy explained.

“Well it’s a relief to know you’re ok Flutters,” Rarity announced to her old friend.

“Um, thank you Rarity,” the shy pony said to her ruler.

“No problem darling. Well, we be
best be off,” the mare said to the other ruler of Ponyville.

As the white mare began walking away, Pinkamena turned her head toward the yellow pegasus, whispering to her, “You’re going to be a fun pony to kill Fluttershy. I can’t wait until I pick your number.”

Fluttershy backed away out of fear as the pony who was once her friend grinned maniacally. Pinkamena then turned around and walked out the door. The butter yellow pegasus started crying once the pink mare left her cottage.

Rainbow Dash was sound asleep in her room inside the Rainbow Factory. She was dreaming about the old days, when she would hang out with her friends and have fun. For the first time in years, she had a smile of happiness on her face as she slept the night away. But her happy dream ended at the sound of a hoof knocking on the door.

The rainbow pony pouted as she walked toward the steel door and opened it. “What the hell do you want?” the factory boss asked angrily. Outside the door way stood two pegusi royal guard in their golden armor.

“Rainbow Dash. Princess Sparkle has requested you to go to the castle for the celebration later tonight,” one of the white pegusi explained.

“Ah yes, the celebration of Princess Celestia and Luna’s murder,” the rainbow pony said. “Fine, I’ll be outside once I’m done with a shower.”

Rainbow Dash closed the door and proceeded to her shower room. She remembered everything that she had envisioned in her dream. As she reached her shower room she hit her hoof on a small wooden table with three drawers.

“AH, DAMN IT!” the rainbow pony yelled before kicking the table down onto the floor. As it impacted, a picture fell out of one of the drawers. The sound of breaking glass erupted once the picture hit the floor, drawing Rainbow Dash’s attention. She walked over to the picture and picked it up with her hoof. She stared at the picture of her and all her friends before their triumph over Celestia and Luna.

The rainbow pony shed a single tear as she stared at the picture. She then look down in sorrow, threw the picture on the ground, and proceeded to her showers.
