Pinkie Pie was happily hopping around in the Evergreen Forest. "La la la la la..."
She spotted something on the ground. It was a party mask! Probably a Halloween mask, judging by how it looked.
Pinkie Pie took the mask and decided to bring it back to Ponyville and find its owner.
On the way back to Ponyville, she bumped into Twilight. "Oh, sorry, Twilight! I didn't see you!"
"It's fine, Pinkie - what's that you're holding?"
Pinkie bounced excitedly. "It's a party mask! Probably a Halloween mask, by the looks of it!"
The mask looked very weird. "Um, Pinkie, are you stealing it?"
"No, not at all!" Pinkie said, still bouncing. "I'm trying to find its owner! But I want to try it on first."
Twilight shrugged. "What's the harm?"
Pinkie put the mask on. "A perfect fit! I'll take - " She started coughing, and collapsed.
"Pinkie?!" Twilight rushed to her.
The mask started shaking, then flew off Pinkie's face.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't our dear Twilight," the mask said.
"Who are you?" Twilight challenged.
The mask chuckled. "You can just look me up in one of those books, can't you? I am Majora's Mask! After I failed to destroy Hyrule, I migrated to here. I'll destroy this planet instead. But I have to start small."
"Did you kill Pinkie?" Twilight asked, horrified.
Majora's Mask laughed again. "Of course not. I simply knocked her out."
Twilight lunged at Majora's Mask, but it flew out of the way. Twilight landed on her face. "Ow..."
Majora's Mask let out a haunting cackle. "I shall take over Equestria, and no one will stop me!"
It then clattered to the ground.
"Huh?" Twilight asked, confused. She dashed to it and poked it. It didn't budge an inch.
Pinkie got up. " - it off now!" Pinkie continued, oblivious to being knocked out. "Oh, look, it's off already!"
Twilight backed away from the mask. "Pinkie, we have to get the others. There's a big problem."
After all the Mane 6 were together, Twilight explained what happened.
Rainbow Dash was skeptical. "How do we know this wasn't a hallucination, or a publicity stunt, or - "
"Ah'm sure Twilight isn't lyin," Applejack interrupted.
"I agree with Applejack," Rarity said. "Twilight hasn't lied before. Neither has Applejack." Applejack chuckled a bit.
Fluttershy had dove under a table in fright after Twilight had told the story. "Majora sounds scary..."
"Oh, toughen up, Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash said, pulling her out from under the table.
"Will the Elements work on Majora?" Rarity suggested.
"That's a good idea, Rarity. Let's go to Princess Celestia!"
Author's Notes:
Sorry the first chapter took so long, it took a while to write. If it sounds bad, DON'T FLAME AT ME, THIS IS ONLY MY SECOND FIMFICTION. I may have gotten the details a bit wrong, but I do know that Majora attempted to crash the moon into Hyrule.
