Spider-Pip: Origins

Pinkamena Diane Pie and Rarity

Today was the day... it hadn’t been long, but the Rainbooms really had some leeway on the local law...

Pinkamena was to be released from the mental ward today.

We were all on-edge, and I wasn’t here for a good part of the year. But from what I heard from students, Pinkamena did something big—something that actually got her arrested... I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that she’s killed some students and still never got busted, or the fact that I had to face her that day...

The first thing I noticed when I entered the school was that no-one was hanging around—they were all in the safety of their classes—even those new ‘Dazzling’ girls who Flash showed around. As I made it to my class, Rainbow sped out in front of me, setting her hands on my shoulders.

“Hey.” She said.

“Hello.” I tagged along, ready to fight back.

She didn’t say a word as she sped away, carrying me to the front door, where Fluttershy and Applejack were, along with a shadow outside the door and out-of-view.

“Congrats, Pipsqueak—you're Pinkamena’s rehabilitation test, by orders of Sunset Shimmer, herself...” Rainbow smirked.

“Test? What, that ward didn’t do its bloody job?” I mocked.

Rainbow stayed silent for a moment before smirking again.

“Nope. Just be lucky Sunset doesn’t come to deal with you personally. You know how that always goes, right?”

That statement made my blood boil and my fists clench—not that I had the time nor the will to do anything about it.

I heard her giggling before I saw her—if anything, that ward made her worse—her formerly puffed hair was now straight and running down to her back, she had black lipstick running up her cheeks, and a killer’s look in her eyes...

Maybe it’s a good thing I packed my web-shooters.

Pinkamena glanced around before glaring right at me, my senses beginning to tingle as I prepared myself to fight the pink-obsessed lunatic.

“Go on, Pinkamena... do what you think is best.” Rainbow told her.

From the background, I think I heard Rarity softly gasp as Applejack released Pinkamena. Rainbow then walked over to the others and sped off with them, leaving me and the maniac. Sure enough, the first thing she did was charge me and pin me to the ground, resting her thumbs next to my eyes...

My Spider-Sense was tingling rapidly, unable to stop.

“I remember you... you were small and cute back then, but... now look at you!”

Pinkamena was like a rabid dog if you let go of the leash—she's an absolute lunatic and the Rainbooms use her to make students... disappear.

“So big and strong... I wonder how long it’d take to... y’know what? I think I’ll just shut up and kill you, now...” Pinkamena smiled widely as she set her thumbs onto my eyes...

And I shot a web to the wall and pulled away from her, sticking to the wall and jumping off, lining up my hit to knock her out cold.

After Pinkamena was knocked out, I put my web-shooters back in my bag and carried Pinkamena to the nurse’s office, ready to come up with a cover story, until...

“I know a place... she can rest there, and we can talk, there... Spider-Man.” Rarity smirked behind me.

I went pale and my blood ran cold as I remembered that Rarity never left...

“Don’t worry... your secret’s safe with me. Now come on, before your crazy aunt comes after us.” Rarity teased—something she did often.

I went to pick up Pinkamena and follow, trying to be as discreet as possible. Thankfully, the halls were empty, since classes had started, and as I followed, no-one batted an eye at me carrying for all they knew a lifeless corpse. Rarity made a hard left and I followed, leading to the janitors’ closet...

“Here? Are you so sure that this is the best place to--”

I was wrong as the door opened and it was a moderately sized room with gadgets and glass displays of costumes that must’ve been made by Rarity on the walls...

“She knows this place, she’ll rest up here.” She told me.

I set her on the bed on the side and as I went to leave, Rarity set her hand on my shoulder.

“So... you’re Spider-Man?” She asked.

I sighed and nodded, knowing that denying it was useless by now.

“Huh... I never would’ve guessed that it was you in the city, playing hero... but I see it...”

Rarity then moved her hands down to my waist, trying to pull me in closer, but I kept her at arms-length.

“...You swinging around out there, making the city yours... kind of like me with something else, if I recall...” Rarity teased, again.

I sighed and moved her away.

“I know that you miss those days... and to be honest, part of me does, too... but that part of me, I stopped listenin' to the moment I became Spider-Man. Those feelin’s I had for you are gone, Rarity. Move on, as I did.” I told her as I went to leave again.

I went to open the door when Rarity dug into her pocket.

“Well, let me at least give you this—in case Rainbow Dash comes creeping again.” Rarity called out, holding out a folded picture.

I unfolded it to see a rather... unique photo of Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

“...Oh...” I replied.

“Yes... turns out little Fluttershy has some secrets of her own...”

“But... I thought she and Sunset were datin'...” I said as I folded the photo back up, swearing to never look upon it again.

“As I said, little Fluttershy’s got her secrets.” Rarity smirked...

They all have a rather uncomfortable habit of smirking so sinisterly.

I simply nodded her farewell and shut the door behind me as I left, not wanting to stay there another minute with my ex...

I went out into the hallway and I saw the new student turning the corner, the one with the cheeto-puff-like hair. Of course, I saw her a second too late as I managed to bump into her and knock everything out of her hands.

“Oh! I’m so sorry, I didn’t see where I was goin'.” I quickly spewed out as I helped the... cheeto-girl get her books back together.

“No, it’s okay... I wasn’t really looking either.” She picked up her stuff and stopped once she saw my face.

“Oh, you’re Flash’s friend, right?” She asked me.

“Yeah, my name’s Pip.” I held out my hand.

“Adagio Dazzle.” She set her things in one hand and shook mine.

We went our separate ways as the bell finally rang, dismissing the period that I completely missed...
