"Ugh.....UGH....WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG?!"

Psycho had been waiting for awhile in his tree , staring at Pinkie's bakery from afar for about an hour now. Psycho was far from the patient type. He confected a few prank bombs from the pine cones and needles on the tree he was in. He would drop them on ponies walking underneath and hide. A small boom could be heard everytime, followed by complaints. The Pine-bomb smothered the ponies in sap and completely covered them in pine needles.

Hm.That sort of prank was just poking me at the back of my head.Hurha! Thought Psycho after his last victim was splotched in needles.

He had seen Pinkie Pie come out several times with the three fillies from earlier. Pinkie seemed to be looking for him. Every time she would go back into the bakery , look sad one moment, then start partying again. None of the partying members noticed the kitchen.

"YES! Great!Hmmm, this one is quite new. Maybe I should've put less baking powder." Psycho rubbed his chin then looked up:* What am I saying?! I should have put more! With some hot sauce!"

He bounced eagerly as the kitchen started to grow into a gingerly bubble. It started to expand through the windows and seemed to be seeping into the partying room. This was quite obvious , as ponies were running out and screaming. Some of them were trying to push the the engulfing mass back. Suddenly, every pony was stuck outside the bakery , and the mass stopped moving. It was shaking terribly. Twilight knew what to do and teleported to the baby cakes room to get them out safely. Everypony started to run away as the mass shook ever more violently.

"Ka-BOOOM!" yelled Psycho.*splat* "Mmmm, salty and spicy."

The massive ginger-colored blob exploded, taking the bakery with it. Almost the entire town was covered in dough.Psycho bounced up and down as his....no...her plan worked.

"Well , time to start the chain-reaction. HOPPITY HOP!" Psycho jumped from his perch on the tree, causing him to gain speed and velocity before falling to the ground violently. But , he didn't splatter on it , oh no. He passed right through it and created a small crater, from which he dug a hole to go to where Pinkie was. She was devastated by what had happened, the cakes more so. As Bullseye reassured them that the one responsible for this sick prank would be found, Bullseye popped his head right from the ground in front of Pinkie Pie.

"Psycho?" she said. She was crying.
"What's wrong?"
"The bakery was destroyed , and now everypony is going to think it's my fault!"
"Why? Those three helped me do it."

Psycho pointed a hoof to the CMC, who glued against eachother as they became exceedingly pale and started to sweat.

"Uhh, we can explain." said Sweetie Belle.
"There are no explanations needed Sweetie Belle.! What you did there was wrong!" yelled Rarity.
"But-"
"NO BU-wait. Did he just say "helped me do it"?"

Everypony turned to look at the swirly-eyed pony stickiking his head out of the ground. He was staring into an abyss, his smile still creeping everypony out.

"Well , yeah! We thought he was okay since he knew Pinkie Pie. We thought that the pranks that we did would be harmless and would help one of us get our cutie marks. We didn't know it would be like this."
"Hey , yer that Psycho character who...uhhh...you know what you did..."

Applejack had shyed away as she was about to reveal what Psycho had done to her at the farm. Bullseye pushed her gently aside and looked absolutely furious.

"You have committed an act of destruction. You are hereby under arrest."
"You have to catch me first. I have BIG plans in store for you all."

Psycho plopped back down into his hole as Bullseye tried to grab him. Bullseye cursed silently , but soon after , ponies were screaming and running everywhere. A giant yellow ball was rolling around ponyville, with the Psychopath dancing on it like the stallions from Stalliongrad. He even had the clothes to fit. 

"Hey,hey,hey! I just wanted to roll by and give you a present!"

Applejack acted on instinct and took a rope from the ruins of the bakery and turned into a lasso. She tried to catch Psycho , but her rope fell short and got snagged on the ball. She was dragged towards it and quickly got glued. Psycho was exhilirated and had trouble breathing as he laughed so hard.

Applebloom ran after the ball as more things got stuck to it. Psycho had jumped on the roof of a nearby building.

"Hey!" yelled Rainbow Dash.

Psycho was just bouncing on his side legs. Staring at her with a massive smile.

"Noone does that to my friends and gets away with it!" 

Rainbow flapped her wings and jet towards Psycho , who juped high up , took a box from his new suit , and poured it's contents right between Rainbow's wings.

"An unreachable itch for your thought?" he mocked.

Rainbow fell towards a mesh of what appeared to be melted marshmellows.*splat* Now she couldn't move , and that itch on her back was killing her.

"HAHAHA!"

Bullseye and Motel decided to team up again to defeat this menace. As Motel floated up towards the roof , Bullseye stood on a rock and levitated it to the same spot. They started attacking Psycho , who was simply dodging. But , when he ducked to see the two stallions crash into eachother , Bullseye stopped , caught his friend in his telekinesis, swung him around , and threw him back at Psycho , who was kicked off the roof. Before falling any lower , however , Psycho exploded into confetti. He had gotten right behind Fluttershy and sported an evil look. Twilight and Rarity interecepted him before anything could happen. Psycho just fell on his head , and watched as the two Mares were readying their magic. His smile returned as weird glowing balls appeared right above the unicorns.

"W-what is that Twilight?"
"I don't know. I've never see-*ZAP* OW!"

Apparently , these balls were a shocking display of Psycho's creativity. The unicorns started to run in different directions , zig-zagging everywhere. Psycho decided to leave the yellow pegasi alone. He knew that she was too fragile. Fluttershy decided to try and help the animals who were also victims of these DIABOLICAL pranks.

Another flaming pony ran right by, apparently another victim of psyche dust. Pinkie appeared right in front of Psycho. She was furious. Motel and Bullseye appeared next to Pinkie Pie.

"Oh nononono! We won't be having fun-fighters here. AWAY WITH YOU!" Psycho stomped on the ground, and the two stallions found themselves falling through an endless pit.They soon erupted back out. Psycho somehow managed to create an artificial geyser. The two stallions were sent soaring towards the Everfree forest. It was total chaos in Ponyville.

"Do you like what I did? I'm great at pranking!"
"This is going too far!A prank is supposed to be something small and funny, not destructive and mean!"
"Awww, party pooper." Psycho turned his head to the side and looked annoyed. His lower lip was sticking out again. He had another mood swing.

"*whiny mode*I thought you LIIIKED iiiiit! I worked HAAAAAAAARRRRRRD! *rage mode* FINE! I know when I'm not welcome. Zippity zop!"

Psycho started bouncing despite performing a cartwheel move. Pinkie followed him , but saw as he cartwheeled on the walls of the townhall and went to the roof. He grabbed the pole adorning the flag and yelled:

"Welp, I'll be goin' now. Y'all eren't wut ah was 'spectin. Good bye! OH! And Rarity! I was the one who ruined your dress! HAHAHAHA!" 

Psycho flicked the pole with his hat and the roof of the townhall started to separate from the main building. The Psychopath had turned it into another one of his rockets. As it blasted away , several pegasi, chased after him. He kept using itching powder on their backs. His laughter and face wouldn't be forgotten in Ponyville , especially after what he did.

It literally took months to repair the entire town , even with magic. Some ponies were left scarred after the events. Rarity swore to herself that , if she ever found that stallion again , she would kill him.Bullseye took this information to the princesses and spread it to the other cities and towns of Equestria, hoping that it would be enough to catch the culprit. Well , despite several events that transpired , there was ONE last thing that Psycho left to be remembered by. And Applejack was going to get the full-extent of this.

As Applejack walked into the family dining room , she saw a piece of pie on the table. She was wary. She approached it cautiously. She saw a small white note on the table. It read:
"Hope you're feeling better!
From: Pinkie pie."

"Aww. Well that's mighty nice of 'er."

As Applejack approached and reached towards the pie , she was given a slip and a fall on her stomach, her hat falling off in the process. She tried to get back up, but a giant pie fell on her. She threw the pie away , enraged. Then a giant mirror fell down. It bounced around slightly , as it was still attached to string. Applejack saw herself in the mirror. Her hair was now shining radiantly in the sunlight , and the majority of her mane was coiffed to end in a type of "fin" pattern. There was a long lock of her mane that still curled on the right side of her face. She even had make-up on in a similar fashion to Rarity. Even her tail had changed. It looked like a plain, perfectly lined tail. Very straight , but very stunning. As she felt rage boil up within her,she saw the note from Pinkie Pie bounce up , flip , and elongate. Applejack read the note:

Hey Applejack. I'm sorry you were the first to get balled by my sticky contraption. I was hoping to do this in front of everypony. Unfortunately , it didn't happen. So , despite it being several months since we last met , this is a goodbye present. I suggest you should look up more often. GRAHAHA!
Love: The Psychopath

Applejack crushed the note under her hoof furiously , tearing it up and smothering the pieces all over the place.

PSYYYYYYYCHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
