Spike just made a mistake. That's all it was. Letting his dragon instincts get the best of him wasn't really something that he could help, if Twilight reflected on the matter. If anything, it was Twilight's fault for not thinking about it. But everything worked out in the end. Spike was a kind dragon who never intended anything to go wrong. He just needed to be reminded of that.

Sugarcube Corner has been closed for a week and the only clue as to what is going on is a letter sent to Rainbow Dash.

This is my entry into The More Most Dangerous Game contest.

It's under the Cupcakes prompt but is NOT a retelling of Cupcakes.

Rainbow Dash receives a letter from an old friend detailing their harsh foalhood and resurfacing memories she had tried to forget
"You didn't tell them did you.
You didn't tell your friends that you grew up in a dilapidated orphanage. You didn't tell them you endured years of child abuse. You didn't tell them that everypony told you that you'd never be special. You didn't tell them your father gave you up because he spent all his bits drowning his sorrows in cider. You didn't tell them of the little family you made, and of the happiness they brought you. Of our flight sessions beneath the stars, wings and hearts beating in tandem."
"And look what it has cost you."

They wouldn't understand anyway

A HUGE THANKS TO MY PREREADER/EDITOR WhatMakesaRainbow

Everypony in Ponyville is happy, carefree, and content with their life on the whole... except one. Rarity harbors a dark, murderous secret. She is Equestria's only active serial killer. She has to balance her fashion life, her friends, and her murderous urges as best as she can. This is the story of her mind.

Now with a Tumblr!

Now with a TVTropes Page!!!

"Hello, this is 911. What's your emergency?"

"My best friend's trying to kill me! Please, help me!"

"What's your address?"

"1124 Southeast Featherfree avenue, Ponyville! Please, come as fast as you ca- Rainbow, please! Just put the knife dow- AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Rainbow "Danger-Pofessionalism" Dash, to say the least, is insane. Rainbow was administered as a patient at the Canterlot Asy- Psychiatric Hospital after trying to murder Fluttershy. Now, the friendships of the Mane 6 are put on thin ice, and more lives may be on the line if this doesn't come to an end. Will the Mane 6 live to love another day, or will the colors of insanity blot out the grey? Only time will tell.
