We had just arrived at pinkie's house and twilight saw something that was of concern
One of pinkie's windows was broken.
I rushed towards the house but the four days of just laying in a bed took its toll
I took about ten minutes to catch up to twilight and that was where I noteced two things
One: the window shards themselves had blood on them and two pinkie had been cut
I got closer and went looking for more. Stuck in a tree was a bloody knife.
I only thought of one thing: cupcakes
You know the creepypasta that had pinkie as a deranged serial killer? I sure do
But something was off... It was... I didn't get time to finish that thought as the pink pony had been alerted of my presence
"hi Noah this is pinkie pie" twilight said leading pinky towards me
Instead of saying hi I asked if she was ok
"Nah it was just a pra-" pinkie stopped for a moment and looked at me clearly expecting to see a pony
"WOW" pinkie said with enthusiasm
"Ooooh what are theses for?" She said poking my hand
"Well I pick things up with them to say the least"
I had just noticed how much pinkie was bouncing around
Her hooves might have well been pogo sticks as she was jumping high
"Cupcakes?" She offered pulling the tray out of seemingly nowhere
I hesitated and took one "thanks?" I said with my brain trying to find out how she did that
I took a bite and it hit hard
They were the best cupcakes I ever had
"Nothing quite like a cake in a cup" I said having finished
Pinkie laughed like I had told her a world class joke
I looked at twilight and she just shrugged
I had then noteced her horn wasn't glowing
"Uh twilight?" I asked with concern
"Yes Noah?" She said
"If I can understand all of you then why isn't your horn glowing?"
It took Twilight a moment to realize what I just said
"Wait what?" She asked in disbelief
"I can understand you clearly but it's strange"
I then felt strange again and i looked at pinkie bakery sign
I could read it clearly
Pinkie finally managed to calm down enough for me to ask
"Who broke your window?"
Pinkie responded with " I invited- OOOO you haven't met rainbow yet!"
She started bouncing off "come on you two just Gotta meet!" she Said bouncing off
twilight following signalling me to follow
Twilight seeing I was a bit scared said "don't worry Noah rainbow dash is one of my closest friends, you don't have to be scared"
"It's not her I'm scared of" I say trying not to give out anymore information
Twilight had asked now a little frightened herself "what did you mean my that?"
I remember the story's I had read and knew if that was what was happening then something changed
In the story pinkie got a lot worse then just a cut
I sapped out of my thinking and saw pinky leading me towards a tree
Pinky started sneaking up to the tree probably to prank rainbow dash back
Twilight stopped pinkie
pinkie simply said "aw your no fun"
The tree started rustling with someone inside yawning
"Good morning" the voice muttered
Out of the tree came a bright blue pony with hair that had all the colours of the rainbow
It took her a second to fully wake up
I was close enough to get a good look at her face and I knew that look
She had dark circles around her eyes and I just knew she had been having trouble with sleep
Being a teenager I knew the feeling of not getting sleep
I on instinct asked "are you ok?"
"I'm fine" she said obviously lying to me
She took a look up and went wide eyed
"You aren't the only one having an off day" I said
"W-what happened to your eye?!" She said with disbelief
Twilight joined in "what did happen to you eye Noah?"
"Noah?" Rainbow butted in
I sigh and say "yes I get it I have a strange name"
Rainbow getting aggressive said "stop dogging the question!"
This touched a nerve "YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW I LOST IT?!" I said regretting it
I tried to patch things up "I'm sorry that was totally out of line"
Rainbow said "it's cool I shouldn't have pushed you"
I wasn't comfortable saying how I lost it so I just said " things happen" and I shrugged
Rainbow asked "what's it like?"
I told the truth "well it's not actually just black its nothing and it's strange
It's about the same experience as trying to see out of my back. It's just not there."
Before pinkie could scare off rainbow I ask if I could get a bit of privacy with rainbow
They agreed and left for a bit
"What did you do that for" rainbow said with a hint of salt
It was finally time to spill the beans
"I know about the nightmares" I said hoping she would understand
"How did you know?" She said confused and in panic
I start "Let's just say I have seen a story. But that's not important"
I continue "something is wrong and I have been thrown into the middle of it"
"Ok then what was my nightmare?" She asked with fear
" would it be acceptable if I just say the thing that kicks it off?"
"Yes" rainbow said
"Cupcakes"
The moment I said this she broke down and started crying
I tried to comfort her but I needed to tell her what would've become of her
"Rainbow you need to get help. Tell someone anyone. I know what happens if you don't"
"W-what?"
"Something changed, if you don't get help then the issue with the knife will be worse next time." I needed to be blunt
"If you don't... Pinkie won't get off with just a cut next time."
She started trying to calm down and after awhile she stopped
"We are baaaaaaaak!" Said the bouncing pink pony
"Go try to get some rest" I whispered to rainbow
She nodded and took off at a break neck speed
"What did you talk about?" Twilight asked
I felt a strong pain in the back of my head and collapsed.
I had a dream but this time it was different. I was lucid I saw several events followed by words
"The factory... The test... The outbreak... save them...Save them...SAVE THEM!
Shit just got real and I haven't even met the other three
