"Dashie! No Dashie. Please." Beep "Pinkie... please *cough* enjoy your life" Beep "Ah shucks Rainbow, I'm so sorry this had to end now." Beep "I've tried every spell! I just can't find anything. I'm sorry.." Beep "Rainbow, I promise.. If something happens I will take care of Tank.." Beep "*sniff* I didn't get to put all my big hats on you.*sniff* You will be missed!" Beep "Thank you *cough* all of you.. for being such ach.. good friends." Beep "Dashie.. I-i need to say this... I--" Beeeeeeeep "Were losing her!" Cried the nurse. "No!.. no..Dashie...no" 

Oh Pinkie, you are so random!

"Due to an unfortunate accident, famous Wonderbolt Rainbow dash---" Click Pinkie had had enough. Already losing her best friend and then being constantly reminded of it was too much for her. Since then she hasn't left her Sugar Cube Corner residence. The Pink Pony no longer had her trademark fluffy party pony hair. It was now flat lost hue. Much of her life now has been just sugar and remorse.  A combination that wasn't good in any circumstance. The entire Mane 5 was in grief but Pinkie was in more than the others.

"No! Dashie can't be dead. It shouldn't happen this way! But maybe if I think about her more, she will be with me! Oh whats the point.. Dashie's dead...sob. Its okay though... Sometime in the future I can with her all the time." Pinkie was still in shock from the incident. She somehow knew deep inside her that it wasn't an accident. That somehow somepony wanted her dead or in a state of no return. Whoever that is deserves to rot in Tartarus Pinkie thought.

It was a Wonderbolt performance and Rainbow Dash had just done her famous sonic Rainboom. They were then circling the track, when another Pegasus suddenly gained a wing ache and went spiraling out of control. Everypony being told, moved out of the way, except for Rainbow dash because she was too caught up in the moment. Then the orange Pegasus flew right into Rainbow Dash sending her flying into the wall, breaking several bones and the failure of organs. Causing her in the end to die. Pinkie could remember the event as vivid as it was. Haunting her every time she went to sleep.

So Pinkie's solution was to cut off from the outside world to prohibit the forming of connections for them just to be ripped apart like  paper in a shredder. Thus feeling terrible. She soon realized that it wasn't as she thought it would be. It was terrible just leaving your self to the walls of your room. She needed to go out. When she opened her room's door. The cakes immediately heard the noise and were there for her.

"Pinkie are you alright?" Mr. Cake asked.

"Leave me alone please." She grumbled back. She carried her self out of the door sloth like. Once outside she didn't know what to expect. She had expected everypony to be all angry like when the mane 6's elements got mixed up, but no. Everypony was moseying along without a care in the world. She felt maybe if she went to Dashie's house she would get to reminisce in memories to make her happier.

She then grabbed her balloon and flew to Rainbow Dash's house. Once there, she then realized that she couldn't walk on the clouds. So she instead just sat there staring. She let out a sigh and went back down to earth. Headed back for Sugar Cube Corner and watched some Ponytoon Network. Maybe that could cheer her up.

One week after her death Pinkie's hair regained her pink hue. Although it was still flat. She was feeling better but grief was still on the verge as it still hasn't fully developed on her body. She was in the 0th stage of grief. Shock. Pinkie was siting at the window thinking about certain feelings that made the pain even worse. She didn't know how to deal with them. Even if it did mean being called names, if it made her happy. She didn't care, but because of Rainbow's Demise she couldn't even think about being happy. Pinkie liked Rainbow. Not like, as in friends, but like like her. Also know as love. Since she loved Rainbow the pain was worse as she wasn't able to tell her. She would have told her earlier but she was nervous and then she couldn't be visited anyways.

A week and a half after then Pinkie regained her fluffy hair. She was still in shock but felt a lot better. Since she was feeling better, she went out more. She often played with the Baby Cakes who were now 5. She went outside and took long walks. She talked with her friends but kept the secret inside. She knew it would darken inside her, but she needed to wait. One night as she was sleeping. She had a strange dream.

She was in Rainbow's house, that was how she knew it was a dream as she was walking on the clouds. When she looked around she saw Rainbow standing there. Rainbow asked here what was on her mind. Pinkie responded with."Dashie, but you're dead!" "I know I am, I'm just a figment of your imagination, but there is something on your mind. I would know but you've blocked it." "Uh.. well Dashie I sort of have certain.. feelings about you.....I-I I love you." Rainbow then walked forward to Pinkie Pie and kissed her on the cheek. "I love you too."

Pinkie then woke up abruptly. It was now 2 weeks after Rainbow dashes death when she woke up. Pinkie remembered the dream. Thought about it, and that was when the grief kicked in. Her feelings and emotions were too much for her. She collapsed.

'Was I to tell my friends now?'
