Fluttershy being either the smartest, or most scared pony in the room fly home faster than one thought imaginable.  She then boarded up every window and door and locked herself in her room. She hides under her bed with fifty various animals all around.
She sat there crying chewing off her hoof nails. She was scared, she knew it was probably a joke Pinkie did. But none the less she hated it! She wanted to just cry the rest of the night. Her large bear friend now had the bed on his back because he tried to limb under it. She was so scared and so tired however to act upon this.  
She hoped that her friends would come over in the morning to calm her down. When she heard knocking on the door however she really didn’t want to answer it. “GO AWAY!” She yelled louder than expected. 
The knocking quickly went around all the windows of the house breaking each one only to find wooden slabs on them. Fluttershy began to cry even harder as Angel hid under her wing. “Fluttershy open up. I wanna play!” Came a voice from one of the windows. It sounded a lot like Pinkie Pie, but something was off. 
A loud scream came from outside scaring her and all her animals even more. Fluttershy wanted to help them not be afraid but she herself was too scared to move. “Fluttershy! Do not open anyway to let me or it in! It will kill you stay away. Be afraid and just remember, RUN!” Said a voice from outside, that sounded more like Pinkie. But she was giving a warning, this was no prank what is going on here? 
Fluttershy decided to obey her orders but as her friend let out another painful scream she wanted desperately to look and help her. Angel held her in place, trying to beg for her to stay. But Fluttershy just pulled him along with her. Whatever was going on with her friend, she was in pain. And she needed to help! She looked through the cracks on the window through the boards to see Pinkie covered in blood laying on the floor beginning to get up again. 
That sight alone made Fluttershy want to hide again. But she knew, whatever was going on her friend was not the one in control! And she needed help! But how? Pinkie began to stand up this time with the same crazy eyes Fluttershy feared. Yet despite her instincts of running away she stood up and began to sing. 

]“When I was a little filly and the sun was going dooooown” [/i
The beast in front of her paused at this and for a sheer second she heard it speak," The darkness and the shadows, they always made me froooown. SHUT UP!” 
The monster dove at the wood and began to rip it off. “No Pinkie don’t, I will let you in.” Said Fluttershy as she went toward the front door with a hammer. The monster confused but pleased followed along the outside of her house.  Fluttershy took in a deep gulp hoping her plan would work. She readied a shovel out of sight and began to pull away the nails of wood. “Now Pinkie I will let you in but don’t you dare hurt my animals.” Fluttershy said trying her hardest to be brave. The creature outside nodded in agreement. “Pinkie Promise?” 
The creature looked up confused and ran through her thoughts. Ah yes. She moved through the motions.
“Cross my Heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake through my eye.” She said, though the voice sounded evil Fluttershy took this chance, Now Pinkie If you are in there you have permission to come out if you feel she may break her promise. You would never let anypony break a Pinkie Promise.” Fluttershy spoke as she began working on the last board.
The beast eyes changed as she saw her friend in them again. “Yes Fluttershy.” 
Fluttershy took the last nail out and the beast pounced in the door at the sight. But Fluttershy just stared at it. The beast paused at this movement. Unsure what was going on until the shovel hit her head. “I am so sorry Pinkie.” Fluttershy explained as she ran out the door and began to take the nails and boards and nailing them back up on the other side of the door. 
“Remember your promise Pinkie.” The beast tried to stand and run for the exit but was stopped by the boards that went up remarkably fast. It then turned and looked around the cabin at the animals that were scattering into cracks in the wall. The beast jumped at the slow little white bunny but was stopped mid jump. “You can’t break a Pinkie Promise!” Yelled Pinkie inside as she began to recontrol her body. It didn’t last long before the beast took back over and ran toward the windows using her hooves to dig into the wood.

Fluttershy ran through town until she bumped into a tall mare. She stood up to find Princess Luna standing in front of her. Fluttershy so scared forgot her manners. “Luna! Pinkie is out of control she is covered in blood I trapped her in my cabin! But we have to hurry, I don’t know how long Pinkie can control Pinkie and I am making no sense, I am sorry.” 

“You make plenty of sense dear.” She said as a small orange filly peered from behind the princess’s legs. 

Fluttershy didn’t pay them much attention. “pinkie is trapped in there, but she listens she can hear us. She seemed to come out a bit when I sung her, her scared song.” 
Luna aware of this song, decided that would have to work. With the elements, down she needed to use the only thing she could to help Pinkie now. 
“Yes, that may be the only chance for her now.” Luna said as began to walk toward Fluttershy’s cabin.
“Wait, what?”

The beast inside decided that she was trap. She could dig into the wood. She decided to take time to listen to Pinkie. 
“What now little one? Most your friends are dead. Honestly I thought Fluttershy would be the easy one.” 
“Fluttershy will stop you! She will!” Pinkie yelled at the darkness in her mind. 

“Even if she tries. If I see any chance of losing this I have a plan for that. She wouldn’t kill her friend would she?” 
“No. Wait What are you-”

The sound of wood being removed made the monster snap back into reality. It sprung at the door and listened as somepony removed each piece. “Pinkie you still in there?” Fluttershy asked through the closed door. The beast smiled and stayed silent until each plank was removed. 

“Yours not coming out until you tell me that my animals are ok.”

The fear of being tapped in there made the beast speak up. “YES” It shouted. 

The last plank was removed and the beast rammed through the door and ran straight into a blue barrier surrounding the house. It looked around for the cause to find Fluttershy and Princess Luna on the other side.

Fluttershy moved toward the beast and smiled. “Hello Pinkie.” She said softly, her smile was sweet innocent. It had to go away.
Pinkie ran back in and grabbed Angel from trying to hide in the chimney. Fluttershy gasped. “Pinkie you promised me. None will be hurt.” 

“I’m not Pinkie” It said smiling as it ripped the legs off the crying little rabbit. Fluttershy screamed at the sight and cried laying on the ground. Luna walked beside her as she tried to focus her magic on pull all other animals from her home. Luna placed a hoof on Fluttershy’s shoulder. “Fluttershy I am so sorry. But you must continue!” 
Fluttershy stood and grabbed all her courage as she began to finish the song. ]“I’d hide under my pillow, from what I thought I saw. But Granny Pie says Pinkies that’s no way to deal with fears at all.” 

The beast screamed and began to bang against the force field locking her in. She ran into the house and came back out holding a knife. Fluttershy looked terrified at the blood-soaked pony holding a knife. Her dear little angel bunny lying dead beside it. 
“She said Pinkie you have to stand up tall. Learn to face your fears. You’ll see  they can’t hurt just laugh to make them disappear.” 
Pinkie began to try and laugh. The beast let out a few of her laughs unable to control them. It was working! Hurry Fluttershy finish the song. Just then a sharp pain went through Pinkies body. It felt hot and wet. 
Fluttershy watched in horror as the monster stabbed itself! Right in the chest. “Go ahead Fluttershy, finish the song. I am the only thing keeping your FRIEND alive!” It shouted over the field. Fluttershy looked back at Luna feeling defeated. 
“Fluttershy.” Pinkie said. The beast had lost control from her body, that was Pinkie! “Finish the song! She won’t stop!” Pinkie begged as the look of crazy went back into her eyes. “Shut Up!” It shouted.

Fluttershy however obeyed. ]“So, giggle at the ghostie. Guffaw at the grossie. Crack up at the creepy. Whoop it up with the weepy. Chortle at the gooky. Snortle at the spooky.”
 “NO! Stop you kill her. You kill me Fluttershy!” The monster yelled but all the sudden she felt Pinkie come out. To sing along with the ponies who were now yelling the lyrics at this point.

“AND TELL THAT BIG DUMB SCARY FACE TO TAKE A HIKE AND LEAVE YOU ALONE AND IF HE THINKS HE CAN SCARE YOU THEN HE’S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING AND THE VERY IDEA OF SUCH A THING JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO” Pinkie let out a laugh like she had never had before. As the sound of the last words leave the ponies around her mouths she let out a scream.
LAAAAAAAAUGHHHHH!

The song ended and Pinkie fell to the ground. Luna released her field allowing Fluttershy to rush over to her friend. She held her friend. And looked at her bunny and just cried.
