	Applejack growled in a wolfish manner,  "Who's there? Pinkie, is that you?"
"Yeah, Applejack."
The short, chubby little penguin spoke up. "Can you come out so we can make sure that it's you and not a spy?"
"No, sorry. But I got my hoof stuck in between some rocks. Applejack, can you come here to help?"
The wolf smiled. "Sure thing, Sugarcube." She said as she trotted  into the bushes. A wolfish scream, or a howl in pai, was shortly heard.
"Applejack!" the remaining three cried together. 
"I-I think we should go to my place to hide, i-if that's alright with you two," the tall dragon spoke quietly.
"Hey!" shouted Rainbow Dash the penguin. "I have an idea! Let's hide out in Fluttershy's place!"
The dragon's scales turned red on each side of her muzzle. 
The pig, Rarity, decided to concur with the penguin. "I think that is an excellent idea, Rainbow Dash."
"B-but but..." Fluttershy began before the other two decided to leave her behind and start waddling and walking to her home. "What about Twilight?" she whispered to herself. She decided to let the changeling out of her mind and hurried to catch up with the other two.

Pinkamena lured these two ponies, or rather creatures, without much trouble. Now all she had to do was get them to turn on their friends.
"Hey," she whispered. "Wolf, Changeling, come here." The two sat down next to her in a small cave. The only noise that came was from the whispering and quiet drips of water.
"Pinkie, where were you? Why don't you look different, well, other than your hair? Why didn't you find us earlier?" Twilight couldn't help but ask the ex-party pony. 
"Wait," the pink mare said.
"Sugarcube, what happened? Do ya'll know how we got like this? Can ya'll change us back?" Applejack started questioning her as well.
"Wait," Pinkamena whispered again. "I have a plan."
As Pinkamena answered the questions, explained her situation, as well as her plan, the two exotic creatures listened until they fell asleep, late at night.

In a small wooden cabin sat the oddest variety of creatures. Most were what they were supposed to be, rabbits. birds, and turtles alike. But three of the creatures, the three sitting in chairs and on the one couch, was a dragon, a penguin, and a pig, though they were clearly not what they looked like. These three were ponies and their names, in order, were Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity.
The three sat, attempting to create new ideas for how they would find their friends. Find was a bit of an exaggeration. They weren't really lost. They were just taken. By another one of their friends.
The blue macaroni penguin spoke up. "What if Fluttershy swoops up to grab all three of them so that they would be rescued!" She used wing motions to make it seem like a better idea.
"Ummm, Rainbow, I don't think that I-" the pig cut Fluttershy off mid sentence.
"I believe that we should just wait for the next one of us to," Rarity coughed for dramatic effect, "disappear."
"No!" the smallest one of the group, Rainbow Dash, shouted. "We have to strike first!"
Sitting like a regal little boar, Rarity spoke up once again. "They must simply strike before us so that we find their hideout."
Rainbow Dash once again shouted, "No!"
The "no" was quickly followed by Rarity's, "Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Ye- Why don't we let Fluttershy decide?" The two looked over at the dragon who had suddenly squealed, trying to hide behind her tail with a light shade pink on her scaly cheeks.
Fluttershy, gradually moving her whip-like tail away from her face, looked at her two friends pleadingly. They stared back, the same as they had been for a while, now. They were stubborn and weren't going to give up anytime soon. Finally, the dragon whispered, "I'll sleep on it." She yawned and curled up on the floor. Rainbow Dash took up very little space on her chair and slept peacefully there. Rarity, to be different, brought a large pillow down from Fluttershy's room, along with a cozy blanket, and fell asleep on the couch previously occupied by a dragon.

..........

Twilight was alone in a cave, hiding from her worst nightmare. A pony with a flat mane, a knife, and the feel for revenge. Twilight had thought that they were good friends, instead of the pony trying to kill her.
Then she appeared at the mouth of the cave, her pink face, splattered with blood. Her smile was evil, as if she wanted to eat you. Wait, she did. 
Twilight had nowhere to run. Pinkamena was closing in on her. She knew she was going to die. She braced herself for the worst, but all that came was a little scratch, dripping blood.
*DRIP*
*DROP*
*DRIP*
*DROP*

..........

"WILL SOMEPONY TURN THE FAUCET OFF?" yelled the purple changeling, waking from her nightmare.
"Huh," said a wolf, groggily. Then her eyes opened wide. "Where's Pinkie Pie?"
"I don't know..." Twilight trailed off. 
The two sat in silence. An awkward one, might I add. Then came a noise. It was the sharpening of a knife. The two went to go investigate. 
As they neared the mouth of the came, they could hear somepony singing.
"I'm killing ponies soon. (Yea)
Them other mares don't know what I'll do. (Yea)
I think she's special so I'll kill her soon. (Yea)
So she will soon die at the time of noon.
Take it to the bridge.
Wolf and changeling looked at each other, then tracked down the source of the song. It was none other than Pinkamena Diane Pie. 
Putting on an evil grin and urging Twilight to do the same, Applejack asked Pinkamena, "Who we killing?"
Pinkamena, happy to see two new creatures on her side, smirked and put down a picture of a blue unicorn.
"Trixie," Twilight said, her grin growing more evil.
