Feeling better, Rarity was at her sewing machine putting the final touches on a tarp she had been working on.
"Alright!" she said to herself. "That's two blankets, five coats, three pillow cases, two half mattresses, one tent, three tarps, two saddle bags. seven hats- very stylish hats I might add." She said with a giggle. "And one red dress, finished with flowers, glitter, rolls, ruffles, and folds, for me to wear when we reach... wherever we are going." She went to her makeshift fabric holder station, which she made quickly, refusing to put anything on the floor, and put her hoof to her chin. "Hmm... What should I make next?" She asked herself. "Ooooh I know! I'll make shoooes!"
She picked up a template from one of the cupboards and some high quality fabrics with her magic. She went back to her sewing machine and started on the first pair. She started humming a tune to herself when suddenly there was a loud crack, and immense pain in the back of her head. She collapsed on the floor, hoofs grabbing at the place where the pain came from. Her vision was blurry, her mind was in shambles, and everything was going black. The last thing she saw before she blacked out was a giant, evil smile, with pink lips.

Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack, and Rainbow Dash were running, trying to get to the library as quickly as they could, knowing they needed to leave as quickly as possible to Canterlot, to hopefully prevent its destruction.
"I hope Rarity isn't completely fed up with Pinkie Pie by now." Rainbow Dash pointed out.
"I miss the old Pinkie Pie." Twilight said. "All she ever does now is cry, we could have really used her for our own sanity right now."
"Ya'll can't blame her." Apple Jack criticized. "She finally found something she couldn't laugh off, she's just realizing all the real dangers in the world. She'll come around eventually.
"Hopefully sooner than later," Twilight agreed. "But until then, we need to stick together, if anyone had any problem with anything, we need to talk to that person about it, no matter how simple or severe it is." She looked over her shoulder. "Right, Rainbow Dash?"
Rainbow Dash blushed and looked away in embarrassment. "I guess." She said simply.
Twilight smiled, and looked back ahead of her. "Good!" she called out satisfied. "But we should slow down now, we're getting close to the library, and there might be some dogs there."
"Good point." Apple Jack replied.
Approaching the final corner to the library, beside what was Berry Punches house, they lined up. Apple Jack in front, Twilight behind her, and Rainbow Dash in last.
"Ah'ma look around now" Apple jack whispered to her friends, then stuck her head out. "What?" Apple Jack yelled, she walked out into the open. "There ain’t no beasties here, not a single one!"
"What!?" Twilight said in a mixture of confusion and thought. "How could that be?" Both she and Rainbow Dash walked out to where Apple Jack was. "All the noise we made, the dog calling the others, there should be plenty of them, but not even the one I shot is here."
"What do you think is happening Twilight?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I don't know." Twilight admitted. "But I get a bad feeling it’s something big."
There was a silence, the three of them pondering what Twilight had just said.
"We should get back." Apple Jack finally said. "Rarity and Pinkie Pie're waiting for us."
"Right," Twilight agreed. "Let’s go."
Twilight opened up the barrier for the three of them to get through, and when she opened the door, what she saw nearly made her give up. Rarity was tied to the horse statue, being forced to stand on her two hind legs. Her mouth was taped, and she was sweating all over. Pinkie Pie was also on her hind hoofs, but she wasn't tied up, she leaned against the statue, holding herself up with one hoof and in her other one, she was holding a knife. She was spinning it around; the tip was touching Rarity's cheek.
"Oh good girls, you're back!" Pinkie said jumping back down to all four hoofs. "I was getting impatient." Her voice was different, it was more seductive, and womanly; it also had a murderous tone to it.
Her mane no longer had any curls to it. It was completely straight, and hung down the side of her face.
"Pinkie Pie, What are you doing?" Twilight spoke slowly.
"Oh." Pinkie said. "I am no longer Pinkie Pie. That crazy… party... pony, is gone. You may call me Pinkamina!"
"Pinkie Pie, this is..." Rainbow dash tried to speak.
"I am not Pinkie Pie!" Pinkamina said with a death stare.
"... Pinkamina..." Rainbow Dash said cautiously. "This is crazy! Let Rarity go now!"
"Oh I'm afraid I cannot do that right now." Pinkamina gave a slight grin towards Rarity, who cowered in fear.
"What d’ya mean?" Apple Jack asked. She started to walk forward."If ya just.."
"DON'T come any closer" Pinkamina hissed, and raised her hoof with the knife and pointed it at Apple Jack.
"Ah'm sorry." Apple Jack said as she backed off.
"Enough!" Twilight demanded. "What do you want!?"
"Aww," Pinkamina teased putting the knife back down. "You're no fun, can't we play a little? Maybe throw a party?"
Twilight just stared at her.
"Fine," Pinkamina sighed. "You were the most boring out of everyone, always caught up in your studies, but I guess it's just business.
"Get on with it!" Rainbow Dash demanded.
"Well for starters." Pinkamina rolled her eyes diagonally as if she was thinking to herself. "I'm going to be leaving this place, figured I would be better off alone than with a red neck, someone who's only had friends for about two years now, out of her twenty three year life," She glanced at Rainbow dash with an disapproving frown. "You, and this stuck up bitch who only knows how make pretty dresses!' Her voice got high and sarcastic. "Now!" She said with an empowered voice. "My saddle bag is right over there." She pointed beside the door. "It's packed and everything! All's I want is your sword Apple Jack. Twilight, being overly caring for her "friends" had to go and help Rainbow Dash in her time of need," She said with a over dramatized tone, “didn't get any others done. So if you give me yours, I'll be out of your hair and we can go on living what short lives we have."
"Ooooor We could tie you down and forget about all of that!" Rainbow Dash said jumping into the air.
"Uh uh uh." Pinkamina said in disappointing tone. “I wouldn't do that if I were you." she put the knife up to Rarity's throat. Rarity whined in fear in response. This brought a smile to Pinkamina's face.
"Now there's no need for that Pinkie..." Apple Jack stopped herself. "Pinkamina. Look Ah'll take the sword off now." She leaned forward, causing the sheath to slide down. When it fell off her head, she caught it by bringing her hoof up. Having it hang there she said. "Here ya go."
"Slide it over here." Pinkamina demanded.
Apple Jack followed her instructions.
"Good," Pinkamina hissed.
Pinkamina let go of Rarity, dropped the knife, and reached for the sword. Using the distraction, Rainbow Dash flew over as quickly as she could, and tackled her to the ground. Twilight cast her magic, making chains of energy, and preventing her from getting up.
"LET ME GO NOW!" Pinkamina demanded.
"Good job Rainbow Dash." Twilight complimented. "I was worried we were actually going to have let her go."
"DON'T YOU DARE IGNORE ME!" Pinkamina hopelessly ranted.
Rainbow Dash replied with a smile.
"Mmmmmm" Rarity said.
"Ah got it" Apple Jack walked over and ripped the tape off of her face, and started with the ropes that tied her down.
"You won’t believe what she did to me!" Rarity started to rant. "I was so scared! If you girls hadn't come, I don't know if I would be alive right now, my, she wouldn't even let me wash my mane, UHG, Its all filled with blood and guck..."
"Can we put the tape back on her?" Rainbow Dash interrupted.
Twilight and Apple Jack laughed, Rarity gave a look of disbelief. "HMF" She grunted as she brought her head up and to the right.
"Why'd you take it off in the first place anyways?" Pinkamina joked.
"Ha. Good one Pinkie" Rainbow Dash laughed and turned to Pinkamina, who was giving her a death stare. "Pinkamina" Rainbow Dash corrected herself.
