Necronomicooking

Pinkie Pie browsed through the shelves of Twilight Sparkle's library. She was looking for something new to try. A big party was coming up and she wanted to be prepared, so she decided to arm herself with a new recipe. She skimmed through many shelves of Twilight's library; all the cook books there were ones Pinkie had already used. Twilight was across the room studying at her desk. Pinkie called to Twilight, whom had her nose buried in a book. "Twilight!"

"Yes Pinkie?" Twilight replied, she refocused on her book immediately after.

"Do you have any more books? I've already used all of these books and need something fresh! I want to make the best cupcakes ever!"

"You have ambition Pinkie. I think there are a few more shelves of books down in the basement, but I don't normally go down there. Feel free to look and see if you can find something interesting." Twilight said, irritated to be pulled from her studies.

"Okey-dokey-lokey, I'll be back in a jiffy!" Pinkie turned to dash off, and then stopped. "Wait" she began "You have a basement?"

"Yes Pinkie, I indeed do. But like I said, I don't normally go down there." Twilight sighed

"Where is it?"

"Oh, it’s underneath that rug." Twilight finished, pointing her hoof at a rug near Pinkie's hooves. "Thanks!" Pinkie glimmered, and pushed the rug to the side with a hoof. She grabbed the handle in her mouth and pulled open the door to the basement.
___________________________________________________________________________

The basement was a dark and musty place. Tree roots penetrated the roof of the place, and brushed at Pinkie's mane. Pinkie searched with a hoof for a light switch, but found none. She called up to Twilight "its dark down here! And there aren't any lights!" A flashlight soon fell down into the basement. Obviously Twilight was too busy to mind Pinkie. Pinkie shrugged off Twilight's rudeness and clicked on the flashlight.

The room became illuminated and Pinkie looked at the three shelves that sat on the far end of the room. In the center of the room was a table, clean and bare. Pinkie trotted past the table and to the shelves. She began hoofing through the books and found a cookbook. Delicious Tacos for All was the title. Pinkie frowned; this was not what she was looking for. She sighed and continued looking through the last shelf until she found one more cookbook called Enjoyable Sweets That Can't be Beat! Pinkie grinned. This was exactly what she was looking for! She flipped open the cover, and was struck with immediate disappointment. The book had been damaged beyond recognition. The ink had run and some of the pages just crumbled when they were touched.

Pinkie sighed again. She would have to let everypony down, and leave empty-hoofed. She turned to head back up to the surface when the table caught her eye. There was a book underneath one of the legs to steady it. Pinkie crouched down and pulled out the book, she blew dust off of the cover and grinned wider than she ever had before. A cookbook. Necronomicooking: otherworldly sweets and eats.

Pinkie darted up the stairs and ran past Twilight, on her way out she said "OkaythanksTwilight!" and continued running wildly over to her bakery. She galloped past ponies of all shapes and sizes. They were literally every color under the sun. Pinkie continued her mad dash to the bakery that was Sugarcube Corner. She ran in the door and past Mr. and Mrs. Cake. "HiMr.andMrs.Cake!" she said as she galloped past them, up the stairs, and into her room.

Pinkie tossed herself onto her bed and opened up the book. She looked at the table of contents:

Page1.........................Cupcakes

Page 2.........................Chimicherrychangas

Page 3..........................Glass Patina... wait what? Pinkie thought to herself. Ponies can't eat glass, can they? She ignored it "Must be a typo" and continued reading. Pinkie finished looking at what she could cook, and decided to actually look at the recipes. She opened to page one, since it was what she planned to make in the first place. She read:

Ingredients
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 3 teaspoons baking powder

Cool 10 minutes in pans then remove from pan, and place on wire racks to cool completely.
Frost and decorate your vanilla cupcakes as desired.

She looked up from her reading. Pony...flesh...what? Is that some kind of spice or herb? She looked at the instructions once more. No... It meant literal Pony flesh. No.. she couldn't make evil cupcakes like these. But what about her friends? She said she was going to make the best cupcakes ever! She couldn't let her friends down. But how would she acquire such an ingredient? She would need a trap. Some way to lure ponies to their... deaths. Oh Celestia, what was she thinking! She can't kill ponies!

Pinkie curled up in her bed. Kill ponies? For food? Wha-who would do such a thing? What kind of monster would try to harm another? And eat them? She noticed she was clutching the book in her hooves. Was she that kind of pony? Could she hurt somepony else? Would it be worth it? Her friends were the most important thing in the world to her, would she kill for them? She can't ask for help on this, no, she would have to figure this out on her own. Who would she kill? Pinkie looked at the clock, it was late, and her clock was slow. Would she kill a pony? For her best friends? No, she couldn't do such a thing.

But she can't disappoint her friends. Pinkie reluctantly decided what she had to do. But she decided she'd do it tomorrow, it was late.

___________________________________________________________________________

Pinkie awoke the next day, feeling refreshed. She found that odd, considering what she was planning. She decided to target somepony nopony would notice was missing. But who? How about... She thought for a while, there were many ponies, but very few that nopony would miss. She decided to just lure the first pony she saw.

Pinkie went downstairs and saw (ironically) Cupcake Cutie sitting in a seat, waiting to be given her order. Pinkie walked up to her. "Hiya Cupcake!"

"Oh hi Pinkie! Did you need something?"

"Actually yes! Wanna help me make cupcakes?"

"Sure!" It was almost too easy. Poor Cupcake would never see it coming. Pinkie Pie guided her into the basement of Sugarcube Corner. Cupcake went down first. Pinkie grabbed a cake knife off the counter and followed her. Cupcake flicked on the lights and asked aloud "Hey Pinkie, how are we gonna make cupcakes down here? There's nothing here to bake with."

"I said I needed you to help make cupcakes you silly filly. Not to help bake." and with that Pinkie drew out her knife and stabbed the back of Cupcake's skull, it glanced off of her bone and she cried out in pain. Pinkie got closer and slit her throat. Cupcake gurgled and slowly slumped to the ground. Blood had spilled everywhere.

What had Pinkie just done? She had done it, she killed another. She was a monster. A murderer. She considered turning herself in immediately. She needed to make these cupcakes though. Maybe they would be awful cupcakes, and nopony would like them. Yes, she could stop making them if nopony liked them. she imagined the scene in her head

"Hey Pinkie, I heard you were trying a new cupcake recipe, but man, even you couldn't make these taste good."

"Yes, they're simply horrid Pinkie, let's go eat somewhere else."

"Oh you guys are right, these cupcakes are terrible. I won't use this recipe anymore."

Pinkie Began cutting Cupcake. Just enough to make one batch, just to start with. Pinkie cut off a piece of her flank, then proceeded to look around the room. Lucky enough for her there was a sink for Pinkie to wash up in. She washed the blood from her hooves and proceeded to trot upstairs. She held the pony meat in her mouth, at first it disgusted her, but then she noted the taste... it was...sweet. She tossed the meat into a bowl and grabbed some of the other ingredients, covering up the pony flesh with flour, sugar, and vanilla. She vigorously mixed the bowl with a knife; to make sure the flesh was chopped into appropriately sized bits and to mix the ingredients. The batter smelled wonderful, like nothing she had ever made before. She poured the cupcake batter into a pan and stuck it into the oven. Letting the cupcakes warm to perfection.

When the cupcakes were done, Pinkie lifted one out of the pan. She slowly sunk her teeth into the treat. At first she felt a little queasy, but then the flavor, oh the flavor. It was absolutely amazing. But was it worth it? She decided everypony else would be the judge, later tonight at the party.

Oh Celestia. They loved them, they wanted more and more. They wanted her to continue to make the horrid things. Pinkie can't let down her friends...
