Horns: A Short G5 story

Izzy smiled at her friends as they admired the horns she had given them to borrow. Sunny was most pleased with hers, as Hitch seemed a little uneasy with such a thing upon his head. Pipp and Zipp were geeking out over how cute each others horns looked, and Izzy felt a sense of pride well up inside her.

"Where did you get such beautiful horns from? Did you make them?" Sunny asked, smiling.

Izzy gave a big grin and said, "Nope! The unicorns I captured were kind enough to let me saw their horns off of them!"

Sunny's eyes widened and asked, "I'm sorry, what?"

The pegasi twins shrieked in disgust and pulled the horns off. Hitch shook his horn off and shouted, "You WHAT??"

Izzy seemed a little confused. "What? Is that not normal?" She asked innocently.

Hitch groaned, pulling a hoof down his face. "Not only is it not normal, it's also ILLEGAL! We don't saw off other ponies' appendages to let others use them!" He was visibly sickened by Izzy's actions.

Sunny was genuinely shocked. "Izzy, where are the unicorns you got these horns from?" she asked carefully.

"Oh, they're in the basement; they're such a nice group. I can introduce you if you'd like!" Izzy did a little jump and grinned happily.

"Take us to them, now!" Hitch shouted.

Izzy giggled, "Somepony is excited, aren't they?"

Sunny smiled nervously, "Alright Izzy, take us to the nice ponies in your... basement." She said the last word with a sense of disgust and fear. Izzy nodded ecstatically and bounced over to a door plainly labelled in loud, red letters,

"DO NOT ENTER."

Izzy swung the door wide and led Sunny and Hitch down a steep set of stairs into a poorly lit concrete bunker. As Hitch looked around the room, there were unicorns of all colours laying dead on the floor, blood poured out of the stump left behind by the removed horn. Sunny gasped and choked at the smell of desiccating corpses.

Izzy cocked an eyebrow. "Huh, they were awake yesterday, they were so nice!" Hitch facehoofed.

"Izzy, THEY'RE DEAD!" Sunny shrieked. "YOU KILLED THEM!"

Izzy's eyes suddenly widened and tears brimmed her eyelids. "I did this? Oh gosh, what have I done?"

Hitch shook his head and went upstairs, unaware of how to deal with such an innocent pony, not to mention he didn't know much about Unicorn law.

Sunny followed Hitch and left Izzy to contemplate what she had done.

When they came back up, the twins were profusely washing their hair in the sink. "Have you been doing this the entire time we were down there?" Sunny asked, annoyed.

Zipp nodded her head, water flying everywhere.

"Great, we've got an accidental murderer and two vain airheads. How're we gonna get magic back now?" Hitch sat and just groaned loudly as he regretted joining Sunny on her quest.
