Assassination Club

Week 3 Friday: Sealed with a Laugh (P. Pie)

Pinkie's POV

Hey guys! Do you guys want to listen to the most craziest thing that's happened this week??? It's so amazing that it hurts so much as I walk around, go to sleep or wake up! Ah well, it's a fresh new day, so lets get going!!!

This morning I had a very delicious breakfast. I had some pancakes filled with strawberries, blueberries, cherries, almost every berry that I know of, all doused in a great deal of whipped cream! The nurse said I should be careful with my eating behaviours, but hey! I'm still fine! Finishing my breakfast in one gulp, it's a Hop, Skip and a Jump to school!

Or that's what I would immediately do. Did you know how yesterday was such a doozy? It's how I ended up with these wounds and bandages upon me!

Quite a fun-filled day yesterday. Last thing I remembered was that I saw the man on the TV for known for harming people. Holy Moly! I was so excited to meet him! I wanted to let everyone know how popular this guy was for appearing on the news channel! Next thing I knew was that this man seemed to strike me hard with some sort of tentacle!

Then I found myself in the Nurse's Office with all my friends around me. Seeing me with such happy looks after I woke up. I think I even saw Flashy there! How sweet of him! We talked for a little bit and how if I had suffered anything bad. Ha ha ha! I really have such caring friends! After all, it's definitely nothing compared to what I had before.

Anyhoo, Nurse Redheart came to take Flash away to some 'debriefing', and when they were gone, Fluttershy and the girls decided to talk about everything that had happened. How I was somehow beaten up by the very meany-beany man that Fluttershy just scared the living daylights out of yesterday. Fluttershy then expanded about how the meany man with a tentacle came up and fought with them two weeks ago, and the reasons why the Special Tutorship Club was involved. I also learned that he tussled with none other than Mr Shiota! And that's how he ended up in the hospital! Wowie Wow Wow!!! That must have been so exciting and amazing! I wanna be there too!

Flutters broke into tears by saying sorry about how she kept secret about all this, it was something life-threatening, the last thing she wants is the life of her friends snuffed out in place of her, and she elaborated on her mindset via her backstory. This time all went silent, all went sad. Even me too. Who knew our kindest girl of a friend has suffered through the darkest of pasts! Poor Fluttershy, she shouldn't deserve that! One of us is enough already...

We had our shares of anger for our friend, shares of compassion, sympathy, and we all rounded it up with a strong group hug of happiness. And we all decided to call it a day. I had to go back home when Morning Recess rang in, but at least I was able to get a sample of that Curry Cupcake!!! Back home, Maud and the rest of my family greeted me with such kind gestures, even my dad. It's great to feel like a family that cares, even if it was just for a temporary time till dinner. Then dad is back to his own stone-hearted rock-headed self again. But that's not really worrying me right now.

What's really worrying me is all the events that happened yesterday. Being at home unable to do things right now makes me so impatient that I needed today to do it. I worked on everything. Push-ups, sit-ups, stretches, smile practice, I've got a lot that I need to do for tomorrow.

And now tomorrow is today! First up, I've got to meet with the girls once again, say all my Hi's and smiles, and secondly, I've got to go find everyone in the Special Tutorship Club for the same thing, that includes Mr Justice and Ms Yada and especially Mr Shiota!!! But that should come later since he won't be back till next week. As I was busy hopping through the school gates and past the area of the road that is now getting fixed, I spotted Shimmy and Flutters talking near the school doors. Eager to listen what was going on, I decided to hide since they may not say anything when I'm around. I might surprise them without knowing!

"Is that so?" Fluttershy gasped,

"Yep," Sunset nodded, showing her that book. "Somehow, when I was around, he managed to slip in. Then I got the letter from Princess Celestia that he'll be coming out soon yesterday evening, all untouched and unscathed."

"He's someone who likes to gather information." Fluttershy replied, "during one of our club meetings, he was eager to write down a few things as he was watching a student. After all, he was intent on knowing what was going on after asking me and the rest of us so many of those questions."

"Well in any case, can you keep an eye on him if something 'magical' happens?" Sunset asked, "He knows about it by the way."

"Of course." Fluttershy nodded, "I know Sensei's the type of guy to remember things and how things are meant to be secret."

Ooh! Our Neighponese teacher was the first to cross into the other dimension where the other Twily once came from? That's so spectacular and bestacular of him to find out for himself! Meanwhile, I just crawled closer and closer and stood up in surprise.

"Hi girls!!!" I greeted at the top of my lungs.

"Ah!" Sunset and Fluttershy jumped back in shock,

"Good Morning to you all!" I jumped with joy, "I hope you guys had no freaky nightmares?"

"Of course not." Sunset replied, "We were wondering whether you'd be coming back."

"Like I said, I had worse!" Pinkie replied, "but that's a secret!"

"Well, it doesn't seem like you'll be troubled by it at all." Sunset laughed, "good to see you're back to normal!"

"Anyhoo, you're just the girl I'm looking for Flutters!" I shook my ever-kind friend up, "you don't mind if I swing by your fun club today?"

"Fun? You mean the Special Tutorship Club?" Fluttershy corrected,

"Doesn't deserve that boring a name from what I've heard." I replied, "in fact, it feels really great to be one of you guys!"

"Well, I'm afraid that we actually have an English practice exam in the first half of lunchtime, but feel free to stick around in the second. Just curious about why you'd like to come?"

"It's Fun! Did you not forget me saying that?" I answered, "besides, It's not just you guys I got to owe, it's everyone that's part of the fun club! Flashy, Fleety, Soari, Cloudy, Flitsy, even grumpy-lumpy Thunderpants!"

"Thunderpants?" Fluttershy gulped at the name, "well... I'm sure you can find them all around, perhaps slip a thank-you letter inside their lockers!"

"Sure thing!" Pinkie Pie replied, "have you seen the others around?"

"Rainbow's got soccer practice, so you'll definitely find Soarin and Fleetfoot there!" Fluttershy replied,

"Applejack, Rarity and Twilight won't be here till school starts," Sunset replied,

"That's okay! And one more thing Fluttershy!" I leaned forward and gave a big kiss on Fluttershy's cheek.

"As a thank you for sort-of saving me!!!" I reasoned as Fluttershy touched the area of the cheek where I kissed with shock.

"So you're going to kiss the rest of the club I assume?" Fluttershy asked back,

"Of course!!!" I laughed,

"Be careful when you kiss Thunderlane. Have you heard what happened with him and Ms Yada?"

"I'll do one better!" I winked back with a smile, and dashed off to the soccer pitch.


Alrighty! I spotted three of my targets! Hope the Wonderbolts won't mind if there's a small interruption!

"Good Moooooorning!" I greeted as I ran straight through the crowd and tackled Rainbow, Soarin and Fleetfoot all at once.

"Gargh!" The three gulped by surprise as I kissed two of the top three Wonderbolts.

"Thank you so much guys!" I hugged, "I'm so happy you came into my life!"

"Uh..." Rainbow hesitantly asked, "why am I the one that doesn't get a kiss?"

"Well, were you the one who helped me yesterday?" I asked nicely,

"Oh..." Rainbow remembered, "fair point..."

"Well," I grinned, "since you asked nicely..."

"Just curious!" Rainbow interrupted while sweating all over "I just wanted to know why you started kissing them both is all!"

"Of course you are, I can tell!" I playfully tapped the side of my head, "now if you'll excuse me, see you all later!!!" And I dashed back towards the school entrance, leaving the entire team speechless and confused. Ahh, they'll get over it!


Second stop, Nurse's office!

"Hello??" I peeked in the door, "Is anybody home?"

"The nurse is in." Redheart strolled up, "how are you Pinkie?"

"All fine since now that I've seen you!" I exclaimed as I grabbed her body and gave her a big kiss like the others.

"Hoy!" The young nurse jumped back, "don't you think that's a bit too much gratitude for saving someone's life?"

"Why not?" I asked,

"I'm afraid medical staff aren't ethically allowed to do that, nor do the patients either." Redheart scratched her head, "but since we're not actually a doctor or patient, we can let that slide!"

"Well good for being students right?" I laughed, as I zoomed out the door.

"You are something Pinkie Pie." Redheart sighed, "to have such joyful spirit."


It sucks that I have my Neighponese class as the last period of the day, otherwise I would have had lots of fun saying hi to Yada, but there's so little time to have fun! Sitting through Professor Python's Math class and Mr Ramon's Spanish Class, Morning Recess is the best way to go! The track and field team will be practising today so I'll find Cloudy and Flitsy, and even Mr Justice too! Not to waste any time, I saw the Track & Field Team, running around the makeshift track, with none other than Mr Justice leading the way.

"Okay everyone!" Mr Justice spoke while panting, "as athletes, it's important that we must keep active, whether in our everyday lives, as well as our days of work! Constant practice will only get you so far! Not just in running for the last minutes, but even running from gunfire!"

"We get it Mr Justice!" Cloudchaser moaned and panted, "you're part of law enforcement, upholding justice throughout Neighpon."

"In that case," Mr Justice checked his watch, "time for the cool down everyone!" And slowed down his pace, "everyone make sure to keep your calves and muscles proper, and maintain your breathing to recover yourself!"

You know, I never thought a policeman would become a sports teacher. Then again, it's part of the job to fight baddies! As the group decided to sit and cool down with drinks, I decided to run up to the three of them.

"Hello you two!" I smiled, giving a kiss on the two girls. Whilst Cloudy was shaken a little, Flitsy took multiple steps back with great emphasis,

"The hell was that for!?" Flitter demanded,

"Just to say thank you for yesterday! Not implying anything!" Pinkie replied,

"Oh, I see..." Flitter calmed down, "but saying thanks or a hug is civil and good enough for me you know that?"

"Well, good day to you Ms Pinkie," Mr Justice waved, "looking better I see,"

"And all thanks to you and the Special Tutorship Club!" I answered, and jumped up to kiss him.

"Ha ha ha..." Mr Justice laughed, "we'll aren't you a cute one. Kissing was definitely not something that we usually do to express gratitude. But..." He bowed about 30 degrees, "just doing my job as a teacher protecting his students."

"You know, despite what many students think about kind manners and all that," I complimented, "it may get you a little bit of crushing on!"

"Ha ha ha..." Mr Justice laughed, "you flatter me Pinkie."

"Well, see you guys later!" I laughed as I galloped away.

"Alright everyone, we can call things done here." Mr Justice addressed the team as I left, "any concerns everyone?"

"Sorry about that Coach Justice!" A grey-skinned, blond-haired female athlete with a certain eye condition gasped for breath, "M-My ankle's hurting! I know we're just jogging, but I-I just don't know what went wrong!"

"Hmm..." Justice inspected, pulling out her shoes and socks and carefully feeling her ankle. "But of course. Your muscles seem to have been pulled beforehand."

"Coach?" The athlete asked in confusion,

"It's okay." Justice replied, "I understand how painful and concerning it is to have a pulled ankle. Promise to tell me next time? I mean, anyone should let me know if anyone gets hurt, I'll try and bring some medical items to help when someone gets hurt. Training is important, but not when your physically injured, recovery is just as vital."

"Aww..." Some cracked under his easy-going attitude,

"Ugh..." Others cringed at his easy-going attitude,

"Hee hee..." Cloudchaser and Flitter giggled at their new coach. Perhaps Pinkie has some truth to her compliment.


There's still some more time in morning recess. I'm gonna go visit the actual Neighponese classroom. It's interesting really... I swear that there's something covering the windows, and I've always noticed that there's not a lot of sound coming inside the room compared to other noisy classrooms, what's up with that?

"Hello?" I open the classroom door just a smidgen, no one's inside. Perfect! Walking into the room, my next mystery is to be solved! If Flutters and the club were able to beat back that man thanks to what they have learned in their club, there must be something special within this class that helps them out. But... It just looks like any other normal classroom... Unless...

Woah! My body is shaking a little! Something of a doozy might happen! But what? What is it? At that moment, I heard footsteps approaching the door. Uh-oh! I gotta hide! I quickly hid in one of the side-sliding drawers and left open a creek for me to peek in.

"This is crazy..." A female's voice sighed in irritation. "Who's idea was it to constantly send anti-sensei weapons to Equestria with completely unnecessary scales?" That voice... I peeked outside... That hair... Woah that chest!!! Yep, that's definitely Ms Yada. And from the looks of things... She's carrying a really tall bag. Wonder what that's for? Dead Bodies? No way... Is she a killer?

"Kimura better deal and hide this mess of a weapon, cause I have no idea on how to take it apart..." Yada grumbled as a loud thump and the sound of a cupboard door opening and closing. Then, I saw her legs walk back towards the door, and hearing it close shut.

Ooh! I jumped out of my hiding spot. This is going to be such a doozy! My body's shaking and shuddering so bad, that It actually hurt when I had to stuff myself in that drawer! I think I know where she put that thing. I hopped towards the long giant cupboard closet, and opened it wide. There it is! That very bag! Pity that it wasn't see-through, I would have loved to know what was inside. Oh well! Might as well open it up. Let's see, I'm sure there was a zipper around here-- Ah! Found it! Opening the hole a little, I took a peek and...

Wow...

Oh my Goddesses...

GASP!!!!! DAHHH!!!

ELKJFLTNSADFLKJAFLEKJGLKHASLFANEVIN!!!!

Who knew that Yada was carrying something so awesome and rare!?!? No wonder why the entire bag was not transparent. Otherwise everyone else would freak out!

This is the most super-duper balloon-popping moment of my lifetime! Ooh... Maybe I can use this juicy stuff for later! Ah well! Maybe that could come after the practice exam that Fluttershy mentioned. Closing the zip and wardrobe with a giggle, I trot out of the class and ready for my next period of work.


And finally! Lunchtime rolled in! Unfortunately, I won't be seeing Flutters in the canteen as she and her Club buddies will be taking that exam at the 1st of Lunchtime, so it's just me Sunset, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow and Twilight at the canteen today. It's going to be mashed potatoes! Yay!!!

"You know," Rarity started the conversation, "it feels different when Fluttershy isn't coming around often thanks to her new club, and especially what she went through yesterday linking to what she has done there too."

"Ah think somethin's goin' down with the club, and nothing pleasant either." Applejack noted,

"Well to be fair," Rainbow started, "I did hear some more new rumours about the club. Ever since the fight yesterday. All the students think that Ms Yada and Coach Justice are known to be quite powerful fighters or even masters of some special fighting art, the same goes with Mr Shiota."

"And what's the reaction?" I asked,

"Mixed really. Some find it scary, other found it awesome."

"To be honest," Twilight replied, "I doubt that something that big of a secret would allow anyone to work in a shop let alone a school. If they did, then they would seriously be restraining themselves when dealing with students like us and I'm not sure any Equestrian would do that."

Rainbow shrugged, "I wouldn't, having a little girl constantly fangirling around me is troublesome enough. But Mr Shiota, Ms Yada and Coach Justice aren't from Equestria, and are raised very much differently in Neighpon."

"That is true," Twilight mentioned, "It's... I guess our ways of thinking are different."

"But we all live and breathe the same as they do right?" I added, "that means what we learn from them or what they learn from us is never impossible! After all, accepting someone's culture doesn't involve numbers!"

"Alright, I get it." Twilight sighed, "but you might as well tell a majority of the science students that."

You know, the things that I say surprise myself just as much. I think I just added one more step to the plan. I continued chatting with my bestest of friends until the second half of lunchtime is signified, then I took off waving goodbye.


I peered into the window that showed the interior of the class and saw nothing. I knew it, Fluttershy said she'll be having a test in the club, and yet no one is located in there. And no matter how much I try to widen my ears and hearing, I can't hear the sound of pencils and pens on paper, nor can I hear Ms Yada talking about anything. So there really is something blocking all sight and sound. Guess the only thing I can do is just knock. With that, the door opened and revealed no other teacher than Ms Yada.

"Why hello there Pinkie," Ms Yada greeted with a smile, "how can I help you?"

"You guys done?" I asked,

"Just," Yada nodded as she opened the door wider and showed the rest of the club stacking their tests neatly and nicely.

"Oh! Hi there Pinkie!" Fluttershy noticed me and waved with a smile. I smiled widely back at her and finally rushed in to finish off my kissing quest with the final targets in the room: Flashy, Big Macki, Rosey, Ms Yada and grumpy-frumpy Thunder!

"I'm coming!!!" I yelled as I leapt towards the final group, only to be stopped with quite a strong palm onto my face.

"Nope," Big Macki replied, "keep it cool Pinkie."

"Aww..." I moaned pulling my head out of his grip, "did the secret get out?"

"Nurse Redheart told me," Rosey answered,

"Soarin told me," Flashy's eyes darted towards Soari,

"Fluttershy told me," Big Macki monotonically moped,

"Kimura told me!" Yada raised her hand, eager to join in the chain,

"And 'Cloudy' and 'Flitsy' told me." Thunder sneered, "I don't feel like getting kissed..." He glared at Ms Yada, "especially with this bitch around..."

"What's this about by the way?" I asked,

"Let's just say," Yada winked, "a way of disciplining."

"I for one, don't mind the kiss," Flashy waved,

"Okay then! Mwah!" I pecked Flashy on the cheek, "perhaps you guys too?"

"Oh fine." Big Macki rolled his eyes as I gave a peck on his cheek.

"Sure why not?" Rosey smiled, and I gave a peck for a third time.

"You're forgetting someone!" Yada reminded, bending down and lightly tapping her own cheek.

"Of course!" I laughed as I gave a big one this time, mmmmwah!!! "ありがとう、桃花せんせい!(Thank you Ms Yada!)"

"And no matter if from the West or East, we also return our greetings. Since we knew you were coming, we prepped up for the chance!" Yada replied, "Together now... 1... 2... 3!"

"いいよー!(No worries!)" The club repeated back, even Thunder!

"Oh!" Yada gasped, "I actually legitimately forgot someone that you haven't kissed!" She pointed towards Grumpy-Lumpy.

"You come any closer, I'll punch you! I'm not kidding!!!" Thunder threatened,

"Oh come on!!!" I yelled as I leapt towards him, "don't be such an idi--" A sudden fist collided into my lower jaw, interrupting my train of thought.

"--ooooootttt..." I halfheartedly finished as Mr Grumpy-Lumpy delivered a very mad uppercut from beneath me, causing me to fly back quite a margin, leaving my head and skull full of painful vibrations.

"Thunderlane!" Flashy roared at the enraged runner, "what the hell was that for!?"

"I gave her a warning!" Thunder retorted, "she got what she had!"

"Thunderlane, this sort of violence between students is definitely not allowed in class!" Yada glared, "whatever beef you have with her, it gives no reason to punch her! Apologise right away!!!"

"I ain't doing that to no crazy gal!"

"Oh it's okay!" I moaned and laughed as I picked myself up from the ground and shrugged and shook my head, "Poor Grumpy-Frumpy Thunderlane doesn't even know how to talk or understand girls. What would you expect from a delinquent bad boy like him?"

"Why you-- I'm gonna kill you!!!" Grumpy-Humpy flew into a rage once again, this time having Flashy and Big Macki restraining him from dealing any more damage.

"Anyway," I turned back to Yada, "The club is really fun with all of you guys around! Especially with what you did Yesterday!"

"I don't think it's something to laugh about." Yada looked to the side uncomfortably,

"Oh I understand." I continued, "there are dark and lonely days where you regret something that you had done, but it's not going to help so much to show it so much. If anything, it would worry others when you have a sort of frown! I think after all that has been said and done, if you forgive yourself and others you've wronged after justification, I think you can come out with a smile and laugh!"

"That's very sweet of you Pinkie," Yada giggled and smiled, "I guess so." There you go! There's that smile! The sweet smile of Ms Yada!

"But before I get off track..." I continued again, "is there room in the club for one more?"

"WHAT!?" Everyone jumped in shock,

"Interesting, and why would you like to join?" Asked Yada with a curious eyebrow.

"Because it's fun! It's fun that there doesn't need to be any backlash or criticism about it! You gain new friends, work together, have better positivity for the future, and you keep so many cool and secret things! Besides!!!" I grin as I cheekily stare at Yada, "you do want to keep what's in the big cupboard a secret right?"

"Oh Pinkie, what are you talking about?" Yada laughed,

"You know! That big thing that goes kaboom once you shoot it!"

"Kaboom?" Flashy interjected, "you mean a heavy explosive weapon like a Rocket Launcher?"

"Yeah! Cannon! Or something like that!"

"I doubt someone would bring something like that to school." Soari argued, "I mean, bringing a pistol or rifle can be easy to hide, but a Rocket Launcher? It's like you need to break it apart and put it in a giant instrument case as not to arouse suspicion!"

"Umm..." Yada tried to interrupt,

"Actually, I just saw it kept in a pretty big bag!" I continued, pointing to the cupboard, "it's just right in there! You don't believe me? Check it out! Because I saw it, I went, DAHHHH!!!"

"Ms Pinkie, I'm not sure you're allowed to just look through the various drawers or cupboards. They do contain personal information!" Yada continued. Not coming out eh? Then time to pull the old trick in the book!

"But..." I turned back, "but what if it's a bomb? You know how dangerous this sort of thing is when it comes to explosives nowadays, wouldn't want you to be blamed for being a terrorist!"

"Uwah!?" Yada jumped in shock, her cheeks blushed. The club all had their eyes laid on her,

"What? Ms Yada is a terrorist?" Fleety asked,

"Wow, who would have thought?" Flitsy gasped, "I guess being shady was always the trait of a person in the business sector.

"Ms Yada!" Flutters jumped in shock, "We trusted you, Mr Shiota trusted you! How could you hide such a double agenda!?"

"I knew it..." Thunderlane growled, "you're more than just a bitch. You're the worst of all women!"

"N-No!" Yada shook her head and hand left and right "I'm not a terrorist, I swear!"

"Oh really huh?" Cloudy furrowed in, "then prove it! Tell us everything right now!"

"She can't." Fleety replied, "otherwise, she would die if she did."

"But that's impossible." Flashy added, "from a religious or a devoted perspective, it spurs someone to persevere till their grave. They have no qualms dying if it's for a good cause or for someone they love and praise be it Goddess, Nation or Individual. Suicide bombers are an example of that."

"But if that's the case..." Rosey turned to Yada, "we're in danger here! Everybody run!!!"

"STOP!" Yada screamed with tears of desperation flowing out of her eyes, "It's a Damn Air-Bazooka that fires Anti-Sensei Shells! It won't be lethal! Sure it would hurt a lot more than just an air gun, but it's been tested that it won't kill! No explosives! Just a burst of air!"

"Now that," I concluded, as everyone got shook up at the reveal, "is a confession!"

"Don't play with my heart, and don't try turning anyone against me!" Yada roared at me as she sobbed, "I'm neither a terrorist nor an assassin! I'm an honest businesswoman! I make sure I have a clear record, and I always turn down any shady deals!"

"You could have just been honest with us in the first place. We wouldn't tell anyone!" I comforted,

"Yeah I was curious myself, so I played along!" Cloudy smirked,

"Mm-hmm, same!" Flitter nodded,

"I-I am so sorry about that Madam." Flash realised that he was played by me and his own pride, and repeatedly bowed in apology, "I truly never meant to harm you!"

"I'm sorry too!" Fluttershy joined in with the apologetic bowing, "You are Sensei's most trusted ally! I shouldn't have doubted you!" Wow, you guys look like you were meant for each other!

"Jeez Pinkie," Soari frowned, "way to make your teacher cry."

"Fickle aren't we?" I retorted, "if you trusted Yada, you would have defended her!"

"I definitely wasn't." Thunderlane spat, "Ever since then, I'd want her to be out of my sight."

"Still, foul play." Fleety added,

"It's Joke!" I laughed,

"That's not helping!!!" Yada yelled.

"Okay okay, maybe I overdid it. Sorry!!!" I replied with a funny clumsy face,

"No actually..." Thunderlane grinned, "I think it's just beginning... Heh heh heh..."

"So..." Rosey decided to open the wardrobe, revealing the big bag. "Is this it?"

"Wai!!! (Hey!!!)" Yada yelled. I have no idea what that language was this time... Chineighse? Cantoneighse? I'm guessing the latter.

"Let's see..." Flashy walked forward to inspect it without touching anything, "yep, it's a bazooka."

"Lemme touch it!" I jumped over, my eyes full of starry excitement,

"PUT THAT AWAY!" Yada yelled, "ちくしょう!!! (Damn it all!!!)"

Hee hee... So I guess that my jokes can tip someone off the deep edge... But only because I love them! For first impressions of joining the club, I'm not so sure that Ms Yada's going to warm up to me immediately. But... I'm sure we can all round it up with a laugh in the end! For me, I'm having fun! And especially even more now that I'm a part of the Special Tutorship Club!
