The Light Brought Out
Chapter 9: Proposal?
WHY!?
Am I deserving of all this pain?
What did I do wrong? I feel like I can't escape this darkness.
Won't someone help me? Please...Please? Please just help.

Well after that Rainbow Dash passed out. Pinkie Pie just started fanning her.
Marriage? Already? No way was Rainbow ready.
She was caught so off guard she was unconscious right after Pinkie repeated that she would marry her.
She was in no way ready. She really did deeply love Pinkie, but the fear she had.
I mean besides the fact that she was almost killed by her, spending your entire life with someone? Rainbow wasn't sure if she was ready.
Finally her eyes were starting to open, she was able to hear the fireworks booming in the sky and the dancing figures in the sky.
Then she sat up on her haunches and saw Pinkie smiling at her.
"What?" she said "Were you not expecting a yes?"
"I-I-I uh um well..." Rainbow said stuttering. "you see..."
She was then cut off by a back breaking hug and kiss.
"Pinkie..." Rainbow said after Pinkie let her go, "I-that wasn't meant to be a..." the rest of what she said was unheard.
"What?" she said stepping closer. "I said that... um that wasn't a..." Again the rest was too quiet to be herd.
"Come on Dashie, speak up."
She sighed, "I said that wasn't meant to be a proposal."
"What?" Pinkie responded looking confused. "But you were on you knees and the necklace?"
"I fell coming down the hill, and came to a stop next to you on my knees. The necklace, that was just meant to be a special. I just wasn't going to marry you."
"What?" she said again looking like she was on the brink of tears.
"No wait that wasn't what I meant! I meant I wasn't..."
"No it-it's alright Dashie, I understand." she got up and started walking away.
"Pinkie wait!" she said trying to get up, but the pain on her legs still hurt and she fell back down.
She sat there helpless as Pinkie Pie disappeared into the crowd.
"Pinkie?" she said beginning to tear up.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"So what do you make of this Princess?" Twilight Sparkle said.
"I fear I know what this is." said a worried looking Princess Celestia.
"Well don't leave us in the dark." said a confused looking Applejack
"It is the darkness the Elements of Harmony were originally made to stop. Legend has it, even before my time or the time of the Crystal Empire, the entire universe was shrouded in a permanent darkness. The Elements were made by the first pony that ever existed. Him and him alone used the Elements and destroyed the darkness. Although it wasn't completely destroyed, there must be balance, with all good comes bad and with bad comes good."
"So where did the darkness go?" Twilight asked.
"It went to the most obvious place, the lightest and happiest element, the Element of Laughter. When me and my sister came across the Elements, the Element of Laughter looked just like it does now. I used my magic and dispersed the darkness, but apparently all I did was reset it."
"So can you reset it again, and do you know what that blue glowing magic is?"
"No is the answer for both of your questions. I'm growing old Twilight, while it doesn't look like it I am, and with age my magic has gotten weaker. In order to cleanse the element completely I'll need help from my sister, Princess Cadence, and you. As for the blue glow, you are correct it is a defensive magic spell, but as to who is casting it I have no idea."
"Wait look!" Applejack exclaimed pointing a hoof to the element. "The spell, its gone!"
"Oh no! We must cleanse it soon or the bearer of the element will become a demonic monster."
Twilight and Applejack gasped, "Pinkie Pie!"

Two days since Pinkie's heart died in her chest. The sky looked black and was pouring rain. She hadn't come out of her room since the Big Boom Bash.
Luckily with Rarity and Fluttershy watching the shop, she had one less thing to worry about.
Looking out that window seeing the sadness outside and inside. She had cried the entire first day, but now she was just sad and depressed.
Helplessness, a feeling everyone hates to have. Nothing to do, nothing can be done, just an endless abyss of woe and sorrow.
Sitting there and thinking about it just made her sadder.
Just then back in the cave of The Tree Of Harmony her element was completely engulfed by the darkness inside of it.
Pinkie dropped to the floor clutching her head screaming in agony, the pain was unbelievable, then she fell unconscious.
*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh Pinkie Pie." said a down Rainbow Dash holding Pinkie's necklace, "I'm so sorry."
The rain just wouldn't let up. It was stupid, just unloading the leftover rain on Ponyville. She sat inside doing nothing but feeling bad. She had been up all night the past two days thinking and finally started falling asleep.
"So sorry." she said and fell asleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*
When Pinkie awoke she had no idea what happened. She had learned what she needed to do though, she needed to get Rainbow Dash, and make her some cupcakes.
Then she walked downstairs, Fluttershy and Rarity turned in for the day, and she went into the basement.
She saw her table of blunt weapons, but she instead went for the doctor's scalpel that lay on the floor next to the wall. They never did clean up down there yet.
"Ahh memories." Pinkie mused picking up the blade. "Shall we make some new ones?" she said to the knife.
She laughed psychotically as she trotted up the stairs, and into the rainy weather.
"Cupcakes, so moist and delicious, cupcakes..." she was singing as she trudged towards the house of the cyan and rainbow pegasus.
