//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Pinkamena Takes Over // by MrE380 //------------------------------// Pinkamena put the blade up to Twilight's neck and slowly slid it down, as a line of blood came from behind the blade, as she kept going in a circular formation, Twilight cried and tried not to move her throat because she does not want that blade to jump and accidently get jab in her neck, even though she was going to die anyway. "Oh Pinkie honey did you forgot about our date?" A voice said causing Pinkmena to jump. It was Shadow, she could just barley hear his voice, the room was supposed to be sound proof but thank goodness it wasn't, if it was then there might be a small chance that Shadow could had walk in on her. "Shhhh." She told Twilight and rush out the door, as soon as the door was open Twilight screamed, and Pinkamena quickly shut it. Did Shadow hear the scream? There was silence as she tried to listen to footsteps but none was there. Twilight's heart plummet at the thought of her one shot of being saved was gone. "IF you do that again Twilight I'm cutting off your tongue!" Twilight gulp, the tongue is the quickest healing organism in your body, but what good will that do if you are going to be torture to death? Pinkamena open the door once more but slowly as she look back at Twilight who had her head held down with a tear that fell to the ground. Pinkamena nodded to Twilight, threw her knife to the ground and came upstairs. "Hello there Shadow...you know I never agree on our date you know, I'm a little busy today." Pinkamena told him. Shadow was just floating in the air maybe that was why she heard no footsteps because he was floating in the air. "You look sick Pink your so...gray." "OH! Yah I am a little under the weather, don't want you to catch what I got Shadow." "Don't worry about it Pink; besides I love your new hair style." "You do!" Pinkamena was slowly turning back into Pinkie, whether or not it was a trick, she was feeling happy. She hadn't felt this happy in a while now, and the one friend she always wanted was for some pony to tell her things like that. Shadow smiled. "You do so much for others, over work and underappreciated, I want to appreciate you Pink, Rarity showed me a great spa that you got to try, and Rainbow told me that you saw how they make clouds, I can show you how to lay on one even without magic." Pinkie Pie's color was turning pink again but Pinkamena was slowly turning it back. "Forget about the party throw it for another pony, today is the day that you should rest and have some fun and make some new memories, ones that I can almost guaranteed that you won't forget no matter what." Shadow said with a smile. "Sounds like fun! But I can't Shadow...I really want to but I am just too busy today." Pinkamena told him trying to sound like Pinkie. "All right." Shadow slowly started to walk out of the door but before he did he told Pinkie something that she loves to death. "I heard that you like chocolate, and I was hoping that maybe you won't mind helping me with the chocolate factory." Pinkamena was about to say no, but had an idea. Since she was busy with Twilight, she didn't want to leave her for too long, but she thought this would be a good way to get to know Shadow, if he becomes a problem later. So she was going to allow Pinkie to take over, she knew her well enough that she would love the chocolate so much she would forget all about Twilight. "CHOCOLATE FACTORY!" Pinkie said as her mane and tail went back to normal as she rushed over in front of Shadow with the biggest smiled that you ever saw. "Where, where, where is it?" "Not in Ponyville that is for sure, but I happen to know a few pony's that gives me all the free chocolate that I want." "Can we go, please, please, please?" "But I thought you were busy?" "No I'm not it can wait let's go!" Pinkamena giggled, she was right Pinkie was in so much enjoyment about the chocolate factory she forgotten about what happen. The chocolate factory was great, she had a wonderful time over there and the spa was very relaxing the day truly was the best day ever and she had no idea how it could had gotten even better. "I had fun Pink." Said Shadow as he was sitting underneath a tree holding his wing out so the sun won't hurt Pinkie's eyes. Pinkie almost fell asleep under his wings, with a smile she said. "I had a wonderful time as well Shadow, maybe the most fun I had in years." "And just think, the first day I met you was late last night while you were taking out the trash." Pinkie couldn't see it but Shadow looked at her through his wing to see what her reaction would be, he read up on her file and knows a lot about Pinkie, that scream he heard was Twilight, the whole thing was all planed out, distract Pinkie and if Twilight is smart enough use her horn to escape, did his planed work he had no idea. Back to where Twilight was still being held in captivity, it's been two hours since Pinkamena left her. Her neck stopped bleeding from the cut from earlier about an hour ago. Twilight tried a few times to get free but with no luck, her hoofs were tied up very tight. She thought about using her horn to teleport, but she needed to calm down first or it may not work, either that or take her someplace worse than she already was. Twilight felt she was calm enough to teleport now after two hours, but wanted to give Pinkie enough time so when she does teleport, Pinkie would be either home or on her way home, but with every passing second Twilight was thinking about how Pinkie must feel, to have another pony inside you, controlling you. "Oh Pinkie, I'm so sorry..." Twilight told herself. She had cried a few times after Pinkie left, she felt terrible since she thought she was the cause for all of this, but then she started to remember what she read in Pinkie's files, something about her father's death didn't seem right, she couldn't put her hoof on it but she knew, she knew what really happen and what Pinkie thinks happen, maybe two different things. "OK, think it's about time I teleport. Oh I hope this works." Twilight told herself. She lit her horn up to teleport, soon enough she disappeared from the room she was in and reappeared outside. It took a few minutes for her to catch her breath as well as her thoughts. She looked up at the sky and saw the sun was setting, and then she looked around to see where she was. When she looked to her far left she gulped, she saw two ponies sitting under a tree, she couldn't tell who they were from where she was, but she could tell one of them was pink so she immediately thought it was Pinkie. She started to panic a little trying to figure out what to do; she looked to her right and had an idea. To her right was an old abandoned fair, she thought she could hide in there so she ran towards it. Back with Pinkie and Shadow Pinkamena quickly took back over at what he told her, but leaving her mane and tail normal. "Y-Yeah...Gummy made a mess and put the party on hold." Pinkamend told him. She looked to her right not wanting Shadow to see her face, and then she saw a purple pony running towards a fair. "Is that...Twilight!" Pinkamena almost snapped by seeing her, but didn't because of Shadow. "Wonder why she's running? I'll be right back, wanna check on her." Pinkamena told Shadow then running off towards Twilight. Shadow nodded as Pinkamena ran off, when she was out of slight he chuckled. "Took her long enough." As Twilight entered the old fair she stopped to catch her breath, then she started to walk looking around. This place looked like it's been abandoned for a long time. Even though this was a fair, there was some old buildings too. Soon after Twilight entered Pinkamena showed up, she looked around and saw Twilight turning around a building. She smiled as her mane and tail flatten, she could have some fun here. Twilight soon came to an old Ferris wheel; it looked old, a few years old in fact. As she was staring at it she was grabbed from behind and pined to a nearby wall. "Hehehe...why hello there Twi...see you escaped..." Pinkamena giggled. Twilight struggled to get free of Pinkamena's grip but couldn't, she was trapped. "Agh! Let me go! And free Pinkie pie!" Twilight demanded. Pinkamena just giggled, and then she had an idea. "You care a great deal about her huh..? Fine. I'll make you a deal..."Pinkamena told her. Twilight stopped struggling and moved one of her eyes to try to get a look at the fake Pinkie Pie, she wondered what idea she has now. "Let's play a little game...if you survive you win...and I'll give you Pinkie back, but if you lose...you...die!" Pinkamena giggled. "Oh how I love other's pain, and sure we can have fun here...Oh, before I forget. No using your horn to teleport or anything, or I'll kill myself which will Pinkie too." Pinkamena explained. Twilight closed her eyes and just nodded, she really didn't have much of a choice right now. "Hehehehahah...let's start...but first..." Pinkamena then kissed Twilight which caught her off guard. She would fight it, but it might make her kill her faster. After a minute or two Pinkamena threw Twilight to the ground. "Think of that as, well whatever you want it too, at any rate...you better run..." Pinkamena giggled. Without thinking Twilight shot off as fast as she could, Pinkamena giggled like she was insane. Then she followed Twilight. As Twilight was running she came to a tea cup ride, she quickly hid in one. As she was trying to catch her breath she was thinking on what to do. She wasn't a fighter, maybe she didn't need to fight but, outsmart her. Just then she realizes that Pinkamena never told her how to win, that only she needed to survive. She was in hunting game, and she couldn't use her horn because if she did Pinkie would die, she had no idea what to do. Soon the tea cups started to spin scaring Twilight. "Ah tea cups, a fun ride ain't it? Hehehe, let's speed it up some." Giggled Pinkamena. Twilight popped her head out and saw Pinkamena about to push a switch. Without thinking she jumped out of the tea cup but wished she hasn't. The ride was spinning and she couldn't get her balance. Soon the ride came to a complete stop causing Twilight to fly into a nearby wall. "Oh silly, don't you know to stay in the ride at ALL times..? Good thing there's an emergency stop button...hehehe..." giggled Pinkamena some more. Slowly Twilight fell off of the wall leaving a small insertion of her in it. After Twilight fell on the floor she was trying to get her breath. She saw Pinkamena coming towards her, so she jumped up and ran. Hearing noises off in the distance where Pinkie or Pinkamnena ran off to, Shadow heard fair noises. "The fair is back in town?" Shadow ask with a smile. It was best if he stay away from the fair, but was having so much fun that he didn't really care that much, Shadow slowly got up and started to head to the abandon fair. "I hope they have cotton candy there." He told himself as he walks. Twilight was running but slowly started to slow down, she wasn't as athletic as Rainbow or Applejack was, so she was getting tired and running out of breath very quickly. She needed to take a quick rest but she couldn't stop moving because of Pinkamena, but as she was running she came cross a building she thought she could hide in. Without looking to see what it was she ran towards it through an open gate and into the building. If Twilight had looked above the door she ran into, she would've saw that the house was a house of mirrors. Twilight thought she would be safe in here, so she stopped to catch her breath. After a minute or so she started to slowly walk around the old building, being careful in case Pinkamena was here or, if she shows up. She thought this place looked like it's about two or three years old, she still had no idea what the building was for. A ride? Some pony's home? She had no clue. When she got to a turn she turned right and immediately jumped backwards landing on her back. She jumped back up to run but stopped as she looked at what scared her, it was her reflection in a trick mirror that made her look taller and thinner. She giggled at herself, and then went the other way as the mirror blocked the other way. As Twilight came to other room she looked to her left and saw another mirror, this one made her looked fat, she giggled at it. "Hahaha, I guess this is a house of mirrors." Twilight told herself. She started to make poses to see how they'll look in the mirror, she laughed at her funny looking reflections. But she shouldn't stay in one spot for too long, she needed to keep moving. She started to turn to continue on the path she was on, when the trick mirror broke causing her to jump. A knife was thrown at her; if she hadn't turned when she did the knife would've hit her. She quickly turned to where the knife came from, and saw Pinkamena down the hall to her right. "Aww...I miss..? Aw well I'll just get closer to stab you then..." Pinkamena giggled. Twilight then ran down the hallway with Pinkamena right behind her. "Hehehe oh Twilight?~ Where are you?~ Come out and plaaaaaaay!~" Pinkamena giggled. Twilight heard her but just kept running; she knew if she stopped or gets caught she may die, so she needed to stay moving. She hoped she come find a way out of this place now. Soon she came to a hall way with three paths; she panicked as she didn't know which one to take. Without thinking twice she ran down the path to her right and came to another trick mirror. She quickly turned back and ran down the left path. But it was a dead end too. "AGH! What is up with all these mirrors and dead ends!" Twilight asked very frustrated. Twilight facehoofed herself and was about to turn to head down the other path, when she heard a voice. "Oh Twilight.~" Sang Pinkamena. Twilight looked up and saw Pinkiamena's reflection in the mirror; she quickly jumped around ready to be in a fight, but she wasn't there, Twilight sighed. "Oh Twiliiiigggghhhhtttt.~" Pinkamena sang a little more serious than usual. Twilight turned back to the mirror and saw Pinkamena face to face with her. "OH SWEAT CELESTIA!" Twilight yelled jumping backwards landing on her back. Without giving Pinkamena a chance to stab her with a knife she's carrying, Twilight jumped up and ran down the hallway. Pinkamena giggled as she followed Twilight. This time Twilight went down the middle path and hoped it wasn't a dead end. It wasn't as she ran down it through a door. Soon she came to an upper part of the house on a balcony; it wasn't very wide so she slowed down to walk across. A noise caught her attention as she was walking across; she looked to her left to see Pinkamena swinging towards her by a rope. Twilight didn't have time to react or dodge; she was kicked in the head over the balcony. "AAAAAaaahhhhhh!" Twilight yelled as she fell. Pinkamena landed on the balcony as she kicked Twilight over it. She walked across and looked over to see where Twilight landed. She was disappointed as she saw Twilight had landed in a big pile of pillows. "What..? WHY is there a BIG pile of pillows down there? That ruined the fun moment!" Pinkamena said disappointed.
