Chapter 2: Just Keep Smiling

"Pinkie?"

Pinkie Pie raised her head and saw Twilight walking towards her with a smile on her face

"Spike said you were looking for me. How can I help you?"

Pinkie Pie sat on the ground and rubbed her forelegs together. She still wasn't sure if she was ready but she knew that she had to do it.

Twilight noticed her pink friend's uneasiness and frowned.

"What's wrong Pinkie?"

Pinkie Pie gulped and said in a voice that Twilight had never heard from her before, fear.

"D-do you know any spell that can help me remember my dreams?" she stuttered.

Twilight's eyes widened as she realized what Pinkie Pie was asking her. It was just a few minutes ago did Twilight used that specific spell to see her dream.

Hmm... Maybe it's just pure coincidence... Twilight thought to herself as she regarded her usually bouncy pink best friend. This time though, Pinkie was just sitting in front of her, eyes cast down with a notable frown on her face.

"Why? Did something happen in your dream that made you uncomfortable?"

Pinkie winced a little. Leave it to Twilight Sparkle to be able to piece everything together and be blunt about it.

"S-something like th-that..."

Twilight frowned and look worriedly at Pinkie "Are you sure you're ok? I mean, I don't want to make you remember your dream if it only makes you even more uncomfortable..."

Pinkie shook her head and forcibly smiled at the purple unicorn "It's ok Twy! Like I always say, always stare at danger dead in the eyes!"

Twilight blinked at her and frowned

"You never said that" she deadpanned

Pinkie just continued to smile forcibly at her "Oh? Well, does it really matter? Come on! Time's a wastin!"

Twilight just shook her head at her friend's usual randomness.

"Fine... First, close your eyes and relax."

Pinkie nodded and complied. She drew and deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Good. Now this spell is kind of tricky since it would last as long as your dream took. Not only that but you would also be looking through the eyes of your dreamself."

Twilight sighed by this point and her voice cracked a little, which Pinkie Pie noticed in an instant.

"Here's the catch, you can feel everything your dreamself feels, you can hear what your dreamself hears but the most important thing you must remember is that you are no in control. You are just a passenger."

Pinkie tilted her head "Oh! You mean it's just like watching the movies?"

Twilight just raised an eyebrow and was about to question Pinkie when she decided to let go of it. There was no point in making sense when Pinkie Pie was involved anyway.

"Yes, sort of. Now, sit still why I perform the spell."

Twilight closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again and this time they were engulfed by purple light. She then pointed her glowing horn towards her friend and fired a thin beam of light right at Pinkie's head.

Pinkie Pie opened her eyes and noticed that she was now inside a kitchen. In fact, she was in the Sugarcube Corner. She tried to look around but her head was not following her commands. She remembered what Twilight said and realized that she wouldn't be able to do anything but observe. She mentally shrugged, at least everything seemed normal at the moment.

Her body started moving but instead of jumping around, like usual, she was just walking casually towards where her ingredients for making cupcakes were waiting. This made Pinkie mentally smile to herself. At least she still loved making cupcakes.

When she was finally standing in front of the counter, her left hoof reached for a knife while the other was reaching for some vegetables.

Pinkie thought that this was pretty normal. The kitchen was pretty quiet and the room was spotless except for the counter where she was working on. This raised some alarms in Pinkie's head. Since when was the kitchen quiet if she was the one using it? Not to mention she usually left a mess everywhere she went.

Before she could ponder even more, she felt her hoof reach for something that she never felt before inside the kitchen. She tried to look down but her eyes wouldn't follow her. Her dreamself was currently humming a song while her eyes were closed. She could feel herself tenderizing the object on her hoof.

Pinkie mentally raised an eyebrow. Tenderizing? Since when was tenderizing part of baking?

It was then her head looked down and her eyes opened. She mentally gasped and realized what the tenderizing was for. What she was holding in her hoof was a dead carcass of a white animal. She couldn't tell what it was since the head was flattened to the point it was unrecognizable but that still changed the fact that it was a dead animal.

Pinkie so wanted to bring her hooves to her snout and try not to vomit, completely forgetting that this was just a dream. Her dreamself was done with tenderizing the small creature and was now dividing the body piece by piece using a knife. She cut off the limbs and was now chopping the leg to bits. When she was done with both legs, she started chopping on the small arms.

Pinkie could only watch in horror as her dreamself kept humming happily. What disturbed her more was the fact that her dreamself was smiling while chopping the body parts until they looked like sprinkles. What was she doing? This went beyond normal, even for her standards!

When she was finally done, the oven dinged and she the turned her focus towards it.

"Oh goody! The cupcakes are done!" her dreamself squealed as she walked towards the oven and took the steaming tray of cupcakes.

She brought the tray towards the counter where the minced meat was. It was then Pinkie realized what her dreamself was doing.

Dream Pinkie took a small bit of sprinkles and slowly dropped it at every cupcake. She then added some chocolate sprinkles to go with it.

PInkie couldn't believe what her eyes was seeing. This was beyond what she thought her dream was about. This was actually worse than what she initially thought. She was now wishing that she didn't ask for Twilight's help!

To make things worse, her dreamself took a cupcake and looked at it analytically. Pinkie paled when she realized what her dreamself was going to do.

"Hmm..." she hummed before taking a bite from the cupcake and regarding the taste.

Pinkie almost forgot that she could also taste it and to her surprise, and horror, the cupcake tasted good. The minced meat actually added some new flavor to the baked good.

"Wow! Best batch I ever made!" her dreamself said proudly. "But it's still not enough... What to do, what to do..."

Her dreamself then looked towards a picture on the wall.

It was a picture of her and her best friends. They were on the park and all of them were huddled together with huge smiles on their faces. Twilight Sparkle was at the front with her legs folded under her, while Fluttershy and Rarity were at either side of her in an identical position with the purple unicorn. Applejack was behind Twilight with toothy grin. Rainbow Dash and herself were doing some kind of jump with huge grins on their faces. Pinkie smiled at this. It was good to know that even in her dream she still had the same best friends.

Her dreamself then suddenly smiled. A smile so large that if you looked at her you would wince in how far it went.

Pinkie gasped as she opened her eyes and frantically looked, temporarily forgetting that she was in the library. She then set her focus on Twilight who was looking at her worriedly.

"Well... What happened?" Twilight walked towards Pinkie and gave her a hug. This was the first time she saw her usually bouncy friend shake in fear.

"I-it was horrible..." Pinkie sniffed. She was actually on the verge of crying again but forced herself not to. "I-I did horrible th-things..."

"Pinkie" Twilight said sternly as she put her hooves on Pinkie's shoulders so she could take a look at her face. "What happened in that dream was nothing more than that. What ever you saw, they never happened. What ever horrible things the Pinkie in your dreams did, those weren't your doings."

Pinkie sniffed and hugged Twilight once more. "Y-you're right... Those were just dreams..."

After a few minutes of hugging, Pinkie finally let go of the purple unicorn.

"Thanks Twy-twy. If it wasn't for you I would have never seen those... those things I did." she shuddered at the memory. She could still hear dreamself humming.

"Are you ready to tell me now?" Twilight urged

Pinkie shook hear head sadly "Not now. Maybe later, when our other friends are present."

Twilight nodded her head, apparently satisfied with Pinkie's reason. Though she couldn't help but wonder what her pink friend dreamed about that could shake her like that.

She hummed to herself as she squished some berries on a bowl. With a smile on her face, she was able to fill the bowl with berry juice and started walking outside her house with her pet rabbit behind her.

She turned around and smiled at the small rabbit as she held the bowl on her forelegs while she floated on the air. The rabbit, on the other hand, was frowning up at her. Actually, it was trying not to show how scared it was at the floating yellow pegasus.

The pegasus continued to hum to herself as she went deep inside Everfree forest. It was actually very quiet in the forest but the pegasus simply continued towards her destination .After walking deeper inside, she came across a cave and went inside it. Even though she was inside a cave, it was surprisingly well lit, save for a few places where darkness consumed it.

The yellow pegasus looked towards her left and sat there was a huge cage. Inside was a cyan, currently hornless, unicorn mare. When the mare saw the pegasus, she backed as much as she could inside the cage. The pegasus just kept smiling sweetly at her and showed her the bowl of berry juice.

"Look what I got?" the pegasus asked in a surprisingly soft voice.

"Wh-what are you g-going t-to do to m-m-me..." the cyan mare stuttered with fear in her eyes. Her cyan mane had tear stains on them.

"Oh... " the pegasus smiled brightened even more "I forgot to tell you. It's actually time to feed my friends!"

Without explaining herself any further, the yellow pegasus dumped the juice on the mare. The mare tried to evade the liquid but didn't have the energy to do so. The mare rubbed her eyes as the juice blinded her for a second.

The yellow pegasus then proceeded to unlock the cage and opened the door.

"A-are you setting me f-free?" the mare asked uncertainly, clearly not trusting the not so innocent pegasus in front of her

"Like I said, I need to feed my pets." She then pointed a hoof on the mouth of the cave "So go... You can go outside."

The mare then staggered towards the entrance and looked back at the pegasus before continuing her slow movement.

When the cyan mare was outside, the yellow pegasus looked behind her. Her smile widened when she heard deep growling at the shadowed part of the cave.

"As I promised you, my friends, a hunt for your food. Enjoy."

Two giant brown mammals bolted out of the shadows and headed straight towards the mouth of the cave, already smelling their meal trying to flee away. The two cave bears mouths were foaming and their claws were already unsheathed even before they could get outside.

As the two bears left the cave, the yellow pegasus looked towards the ground where her pet was quivering in fear from what it just saw. The yellow pegasus picked the terrified rabbit and started rubbing it's head.

"As for you mister" she said in a mock scolding tone "What have I told you about bringing unwanted ponies to our home without my consent?" The yellow pegasus shook her head and gave the small rabbit a smile "No matter. That won't happen again."

Before the rabbit could give her a questioning glance, the pegasus held on the rabbit's head tighter and twisted her hooves so fast that there was an audible snap as the rabbit's lifeless body fell on the ground.

The yellow pegasus left the cave with a soft smile on her face while humming a familiar tune.

Author's Note:

Before you ask, Pinkie Pie is humming the "Smile Song" while the yellow pegasus, who I think you can already guess who it is, is humming "Find the Music in You"

Enjoy!

Oh, and I accept criticism!
