A preview of the next Chapter of Silence Will Fall! · 9:02pm Sep 19th, 2014
Because you guys are probably sick of wrestling and me being sick A blog post with some substance!
Pinkie Pie had found the six foot metal man in her closet funny at first.
It was certainly funny looking. It just stood there. Looking straight ahead. Not uttering a word. Pinkie tried to talk to it, but no response. So she settled on decorating it with streamers and going about her job.
She had to clean the rest of the storeroom, and make sure the twins were in bed. If Cup and Carrot came home to find them hurt, Pinkie would never forgive herself.
She finished sweeping, and she went upstairs to check on the kids...
And Pound Cake, and Pumpkin cake were gone.
Immediately Pinkie panicked. The bed had obviously been disturbed, and someone had come into the room. How could she not have heard them crying? They cry at almost anything.
Pinkie frantically searched the entire bakery. They had to be somewhere. She had to hear something. She had to-
CRASH
Pinkie stood stock still. That came from downstairs.
Pinkie rushed down to find Pound and Pumpkin Cake being cradled in the magical aura of a red eyed Changeling. He was backed up by more of the same metal men she had found in the closet.
"Shh...," said the Changeling softly. "The children are sleeping. We certainly don't want to wake them."
Pinkie Paused for a moment. "Who are you?" Pinkie whispered angrily. "How do you know Mr. Shiny?"
"I'm the Master," he chuckled. "'Mr. Shiny.' You know, most people would be terrified at the site of a Cyberman in their closet. Ah, but your friend Rarity told me that any attempt I made to frighten you would simply be thrown back in my face with a laugh. 'Giggle at the Ghostie' and all that?"
Pinkie smiled proudly.
"Well let me try this," the Master started to walk toward Pinkie. "The creatures you see before me are Cybermen. My confederate and I are the only things keeping them from taking your brain out of your body and putting it in a metal shell. You would become like them. In the process, everything that was Pinkie Pie, all the laughter, all the happiness, all that wonderful care and affection you have for your friends gone. I could crush these infants in front of you like wine grapes..." The blankets swaddled around Pound and Pumpkin became a little tighter. "And you wouldn't care. Because you simply wouldn't be you anymore. That is the horror I face you with. The horror of uniformity"
For the first time in her life, Pinkie Pie was speechless. To lose everything she was... To just become another face in the crowd... To not be able to make her friends smile...
A tear rolled down Pinkie's cheek. She had never been more scared.
"I'm waiting, Ms. Pie," the Master said smugly. "Your talent for finding the joy in hopeless situations is legendary. It's partly why I came to meet with you. Impress me with it now. Go on..."
The Master leaned in directly next to Pinkie Pie's ear.
"Laugh."
It pains me to do this to Best Pony! But I must!
you have my complete and total interest

Oh my gosh... I think I know what The Master is doing...
But I won't say.
Oh, and you've been expecting my newest story, I'm a bit sorry, but it hasn't been approved yet for some reason. I submitted it at three and it's still waiting approval.
2467558 Longest it took me was six hours...
2467575 I've seen several story approvers and moderators on in the past couple of hours. I haven't seen any kind of new story being published, and I'm just wondering what's taking so long.
