Pumpkins

by Serenity Darkmoon Raven


Chapter 2

Twilight and Rainbow Dash work throughout the night, they search for clues, they try to find where this killer would strike next, they drink a ton of coffee to stay awake... the safety of Ponyville rests in their hooves and they don't want to let Princess Celestia or the citizens of Ponyville down.


Then, Rainbow Dash slowly closed her eyes, her body quickly leaning on Twilight's smooth body. Twilight felt a red tint creeping up to her cheeks. She looked over to where Rainbow Dash was sleeping. She sighs and says in a sad tone, "I wish.. I was brave enough to tell her how I felt... I also wish... I can find this killer so I can go to sleep already.."

Twilight then gently hugged Rainbow Dash and set her down on the green and wet grass. She then heard something moving in the bushes, the bushes outside Daisy's flower shop. She jerked her head to where the green bushes were, she then said, "What's that sound?"

She then heard a giggling sound, similar to that of a filly laughing. She heard the sound as it got louder and louder. She heard the sound surrounding her. Then, after what seemed like forever, it just stopped, no more sounds.

Twilight asked in a curious tone, "What was that about, maybe I am just hearing things or going mad since I didn't get a lot of sleep.." She took a deep breath. She then saw a strange figure, it looked like it's face was a pumpkin. The figure smelt like pumpkin spice and it was running thought the streets of Ponyville. Twilight galloped after the figure. The streetlights were on and on the back of the pumpkin head with a smile, not with marker but with red blood, the blood was still drooping.


Twilight had enough and made her horn glow purple, she then tried to catch the figure but they hopped and disappeared. Twilight raised an eyebrow and asked in a confused tone, "What... just happend?" She looked around, she saw many houses, streetlight lamps, a red bench. She then saw a note on the bench, she walked over and read the note.


The note read, "Were we playing Tag? why did you stop I was having so much fun! See you tomorrow..." Twilight was even more confused, how did this figure write a note after he just disappeared. Twilight then yawned and said in a tired tone, "I have an idea... I- I will just go to sleep and wake up super early to continue this case and to satisfy my desire to sleep."


She walked back to where Rainbow Dash was peacefully sleeping, she was mumbling something like, "Will you marry me?" She then rolled over which exposed her belly. Twilight then picked her up, then teleport her and Rainbow to Rainbow's mansion in Cloudsdale. The two mares appear in Rainbow's Bedroom. There was a queen size bed, a tube where Rainbow push food down the tube and the food arrives in Tank's food bowl. She also sees posters of the Wonderbolt members, there was one poster with Spitfire with the words printed in big orange words, "Follow Your Dreams" it was also signed by Spitfire.


There was also a purple book with a lock on it, the walls were painted blue, and there was also pictures of her accomplishments like when she won a race for Fluttershy's honor or when she saved Rarity when her wings dissolved during a flight competition. Twilight made her horn glow purple and made it move Rainbow Dash to her bed. She then made her horn glow purple, and teleport herself to her home. Her home was neat and organized like always. The floor was clean. Spike was sleeping on the green couch. the door is closed, and her trophies and awards were on a bookshelf that is hanging above the TV. She stretched and said, "Time to go to sleep!"

She then went upstairs, to her room. Her room had a queen size bed, many books, a drawer, a desk for her to write letters to Princess Celestia. Spike's bed was ahead of Twilight's bed. Twilight climbed on her bed and closed her eyes. She had a peaceful look on her face, she plans to wake up at 4am then continue the case. Time flew fast, so fast Rainbow Dash would be jealous, the clock read, "12:00 am" Then, Twilight heard a tap on her window.

Twilight quickly opened her eyes, she felt the soft pillow that was hugging the back of her bed, and the sheets which was covering her lower body. Twilight looked to the window that was to her right, she didn't see anything other than the sky which was glowing a breathtaking dark purple hue. There were many stars glowing in the sky, they shined brightly like Christmas lights. Then, she heard a knock on the door downstairs.


She walked downstairs to get to the door. She then opened the door and asked in a tired tone, "Hello?"
She looked to the left and then to the right, she saw nothing. There was an eerie sound. Twilight then asked in a tired tone, "Who knocked on the door?"

She then stood there, she then said in a tired tone, "Okay.. maybe it was just some dumb foals playing a prank on me... but who would play a prank at midnight!" She then heard heavy breathing against her neck.


Twilight turned around, she saw a pony with a pumpkin as a head, a long black horn, the pony was tall. The pony spoke in a raspy tone, "Good night.." they then pulled out a gun. Twilight was confused. She still thinks her mind was playing tricks on her still, she got like two hours of sleep. She then quickly made her horn glow purple.

A Boom could be heard at the distance. Twilight lays on the ground, a bullet hole was found on her neck. Her eyes were closed, there was a puddle of blood under her. Then the pony ripped her stomach open. She saw Twilight's heart, her purple lungs, her long pink colon. The Pony then put those organs in a pumpkin to scare of the detectives and ponies looking for her, she wrote something on a sheet of paper using a spell and made her horn glow dark purple. The glow dissolved after she was done. Then, all of a sudden she disappeared unto the night.
