Third Person
“There, done!” chirped Pinkie Pie enthusiastically.
Mrs.Cake stepped in the kitchen. She saw the beautiful handiwork that Pinkie had done and smiled.
“Pinkie, those cupcakes look wonderful! Trying out a new recipe, I suppose?” she asked.
Pinkie replied, “Yep! Try one! Triple chocolate with raspberry filling and rainbow sprinkles on top.”
Mrs.Cake took one and ate it in one gulp.
“These are good! What’s the recipe? I want to bake some for Mr.Cake as a surprise.” she commented.
Pinkie said, “I used raspberry mousse, black, white and milk chocolate, rainbow sprinkles, flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, cream, some icing sugar and a secret ingredient.”
“What’s the secret ingredient?” asked Mrs.Cake.
Pinkie replied mysteriously, “If I tell you, then it won’t be a secret.”
“Oh. I’ll go. There are other customers I need to serve.” said Mrs.Cake and she left the kitchen in Sugarcube Corner, their bakery.
After Mrs.Cake had shut the door behind her, Pinkie took out a knife from one of the cabinets and ran a hoof along the sharp blade.
“Speaking of the secret ingredient, I’ve run out of supplies. I need to refill the stock.” she said to herself.
Pinkie put down the knife on the countertop and pulled down a jar from one of the topmost shelves.
In th jar were slips of paper. She took one out and on it was the number 46.
“46...46...where is it?” muttered Pinkie.
She took down an old book, the pages yellow with age.
She flipped the pages until she came to the page number 46, and opened the book.
There was 46 written in bold letters, a picture of a pony with a white coat and a pink mane and a short description of the pony.
“Twinkleshine, isn’t it? Looks like I found my next victim…” murmured Pinkie under her breath.
********************************************************************************************************
Twinkleshine was having a happy day.
First, in the morning, she went with a friend, Lemon Hearts, to the Ponyville Spa for a mud bath and a facial, and came out relaxed and refreshed.
In the afternoon, she went to a lunch gathering with some of her oldest friends, and had a good time chatting and laughing cheerfully.
After the gathering, another friend Minuette went with her to the Ponyville Market and bought some snacks and food.
When she thought her day couldn’t been happier, Pinkie Pie invited her in Sugarcube Corner, and asked her to be the taste-tester of a brand-new recipe of cupcake.
“Thanks, Pinkie. I was hoping for a tasty treat when you invited me in to help you with your new kind of cupcake.” said Twinkeshine, smiling happily.
Pinkie replied, “No problem! I was just about to go out and find a taste-tester when you came in.”
Unbeknownst to Twinkleshine, Pinkie Pie was about to go and find her to taste-test the cupcake.
“What kind of cupcake is this?” asked Twinkleshine.
Pinkie said, “Triple chocolate with raspberry filling and rainbow sprinkles on top, it’s a good combination.”
Twinkleshine took one and took a bite.
“This is good! What did you put in it?” she said.
Pinkie replied evilly, “Some chocolate, raspberry mousse, and sleeping powder!”
“Wait...what sleeping-”
Twinkleshine felt that the room was spinning, she was very disoriented.
“What...what exactly did you put-”
The world faded to black.
********************************************************************************************************
Twinkleshine opened her eyes.
She was in a dark room, so dark that she couldn’t see beyond two feet.
She looked around, and found that her surroundings had changed. Where in Equestria was she?
“Hello? Anyone here? Where am I?” she called.
She tried to get up, but in her shock she was lying on a wooden table, her hooves chained to it by rusty metal chains.
“Please, someone! Anyone! Help me!” she cried frantically, beads of sweat dripping down her face.
A figure stepped out from the darkness.
A familiar figure.
“Pinkie? Where are we?” asked Twinkleshine.
Twinkleshine stared again at Pinkie. She was different. She was wearing a multicoloured dress with patterns on it. Four pairs of Pegasus wings were fastened onto her back and she was wearing a necklace of Unicorn horns. What was terrifying was her insane grin as she stared into space.
“Hey, Twinkleshine! I brought you here to have a party!” chirped Pinkie happily.
Twinkleshine asked, “What...What party?”
“Duh, your deathday party, of course!” said Pinkie.
Twinkleshine desperately struggled against the rusty metal chains.
“What do you want from me?” she asked, stuttering.
Pinkie replied, “Do you know why my cupcakes taste so good? I use a special ingredient that no one in existence knows about. When I was just a little filly, I developed an obession for cupcakes. One day, when I was cutting a slab of butter for a new recipe of cupcakes, I accidentally cut myself, and the blood fell into the mixing bowl. After the cupcakes were baked, I discovered that they taste sweeter, and more delightful. The taste of blood, is a cupcake’s essence. I recently ran out of my special ingredient, so you’re going to help me get some more?”
“What...what special ingredient?”
“You, of course!” replied Pinkie.
Twinkleshine broke into a cold sweat.
“Your plan will be foiled! Someone will notice that I disappeared and you will be caught!” she cried.
Pinkie giggled.
“You think that I’m a newbie in this sort of things? I’ve been doing this for years!” she replied.
The lights came on in the room and Twinkleshine almost threw up.
The room was decorated, if you could call it decorating, with crude streamers made with pony skin.
Balloons of pony organs were hung all over the room, but what’s disgusting was that with the lights, Twinkleshine finally got a good look at Pinkie’s dress.
It was made of ponies’ cutie marks.
A banner was draped from the high ceiling, with writing that said: Life is a party!
The forced cheeriness in the room was horrifying.
“Like what I did to my secret room? I spent years to get enough supplies.” chuckled Pinkie.
Twinkleshine screamed, “You’re insane! Who would murder ponies and turn them into cupcakes?!”
“Thanks for the compliment!” answered Pinkie carelessly.
“Now, we can begin.” she added.
Pinkie took up a knife and chopped off Twinkleshine’s horn with a swift chop. Blood trickled down her face, and down her body.
Twinkleshine barely managed to hold in her scream.
But Pinkie wasn’t done. No, not in a long run.
She dragged out a machine connected to some wires and crocodile clips.
She connected the clips, which were attached to the wires, onto Twinkleshine’s hooves and walked back to the machine. The machine was turned on.
Instantly, electricity coursed through the wires and to Twinkleshine’s hooves. An electrifying pain shot through her whole body. She screamed loudly.
“Having fun, right, Twinkle? Well, you’ll enjoy this!” said Pinkie.
She turned the voltage on the machine to 300 volts, since originally it was 50.
The power increased by six times its original amount, as well as the pain. It was so strong that Twinkleshine’s hooves started vibrating uncontrollably.
“What...What are you doing?” Twinkleshine managed to ask through the excruciating pain.
“I’ve never tried this technique on a pony before, but let’s see if it works!” said Pinkie, ignoring Twinkleshine.
She turned the voltage even higher, to 500 volts. Twinkleshine finally broke down and screamed loudly, enough to make your eardrums shatter.
The vibrating on her hooves increased, and started bouncing about.
Five minutes later, Twinkleshine saw with horror that her hooves were slowly, but surely, falling off.
“Why are you doing this?” she cried desperately.
Pinkie finally faced her and replied, “I need the ingredients, and if I really let you go, you would be telling everypony that Pinkie is a murderer, and I’ll be in jail for eternity! No, I won’t let that happen! I really love my career, especially the killing part!”
At this point, Twinkleshine found it so disgusting that her stomach churned, and she threw up, the puke dripping down her body along with the blood still gushing out from her horn, splashing on the ground.
“Aw, now later I’ll have to mop the floor!” whined Pinkie, “Better make sure you won’t do that again.”
She took up the knife again, but put it back on the table next to Twinkleshine.
“Oh, I forgot to give you this. Just in case you fall unconscious and won’t be able to experience the exciting part of it all.” added Pinkie, with a broad smile on her face.
She took up a syringe, and injected it into Twinkleshine’s heart. Immediately she felt more relaxed.
“What did you put-” Twinkleshine started to say, but was cut off by an extra strong boost of the machine still connected to her and she screamed again.
“Oh, I put a strong painkiller in you. Very soon you won’t be able to feel anything below your chest, and that allows me to do the harvesting.” answered Pinkie.
At that moment, Twinkleshine’s hooves were barely connected to the rest of her body, and she gasped as her limbs finally detached from her body.
Unfortunately, only part of her hooves fell off, so she was still chained to the table.
“Okay, now the painkillers should be working, and I need to do the harvest fast.” said Pinkie.
She took up the knife for the third time and cut an ‘I’ and Twinkleshine’s body, the top part just below her chest, and the bottom part right by her abdomen.
“Pinkie, what are you doing?” asked Twinkleshine anxiously.
“You’ll see.” replied Pinkie mysteriously.
The flaps of her skin flipped open, revealing the organs inside Twinkleshine’s body.
Twinkleshine looked away in disgust, she knew what Pinkie wanted to do now. She hated the sight of her organs and was on the verge of puking the second time.
Pinkie said, “I don’t want anymore puking, so let me take this.”
She took out Twinkleshine’s stomach from her body, but because of the painkillers, she was only feeling pain from her horn and hooves.
Next was the large intestines. Pinkie put them around her neck like you would do to a feather boa and sang, “I’m Rarity! Look at my new scarf!”
She yanked out the smaller intestines and bladder, and along with the other organs, put them in a corner.
“Look at these! I must be kidneying when I saw such intact organs.” Pinkie chirped while taking out her kidneys.
Twinkleshine screamed, even though she couldn’t feel anything. The sight of her organs made her feel nauseous, even she couldn’t throw up.
“You’re so noisy! I need to work in silence.” said Pinkie as she took out her lungs.
She retrieved her remaining organs, including her heart, and set them down in the corner.
Twinkleshine panted heavily, she knew she was going to die, there and then.
The last thing she saw was Pinkie bending over her with the knife, cutting into her skull, and the last thing she heard was Pinkie saying cheerfully, “That was a fun party, right, Twinkleshine?”
Then, she was gone. Forever.
Observing her handiwork, Pinkie stepped back from the ruined body of Twinkleshine.
She marvelled at her skill, she was even able to keep the eyelids intact.
Walking back to her corner where she put the organs, she ran a hoof along her heart and got some blood.
Pinkie tasted it and smiled.
“Hey, this is good! I’m sure the cupcakes I make with these is gonna be a big hit."
She looked back at the corpse and saw her cutie mark.
“I’ll need this for my dress.” she muttered, “Thanks anyway, Twinkleshine, for oh so generously providing the ingredients I need.”
Pinkie smiled devilishly.
“Cupcakes is my life, and always will be.” she said.
