The Noise Under Pinkie Pie's Sink

The Noise under Pinkie Pie's Sink
Admiral Biscuit

"Twilight! Twilight!"

"Ergh, what is it Pinkie?"

"There's a creepy crunchy scrapey squealy noise under the sink in my bathroom."

"Again?" Twilight rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and pushed the covers back. "It's not Gummy this time, is it?"

"Nopers." Pinkie tilted her head forward, and Gummy came into view, dangling from her cotton candy mane.

Twilight pushed the covers back and hung her tasselled nightcap over the newel post. "Fine."

Five minutes later, the two mares made their way to Sugarcube Corner, Twilight trudging along wearily, while Pinkie pronked excitedly by her side.

When the pink pony opened the front door, Twilight covered a yawn before following her friend up the stairs.

"Listen, Twilight, do you hear it?"

Twilight cocked her head. She didn't hear anything.

"Maybe if you get closer?"

Twilight nodded and stuck her muzzle right against the vanity, close enough to study the loops and whorls in the grain. Still nothing.

"Pinkie, there's nothing in there."

"There is," Pinkie insisted. She was hopping from hoof to hoof, her blue eyes locked on the door. "I'm not lying, I Pinkie Promise. Cross my heart and hope to fly. . . ."

". . . . Stick a cupcake in your eye," Twilight finished, sticking a hoof in her eye. "Ow. Alright." She grabbed the two little pull-knobs in her aura and yanked the doors open, then shoved her head inside. Is that— she started to think.

SHINK

—a guillotine? she finished thinking as her head was neatly lopped off.

"Best April Foal's prank ~ever~!"

"Dammit, Pinkie." Twilight fumbled around with her hooves until she found her head, and then stuck it back on her neck. "I never should have told you I became immortal when I ascended."

Author's Note:

With apologies to alexmagnet. I read Noises, and this is what I thought would happen.

This is the main reason why if I ever became immortal I would tell nobody.

Have I ever told you about my idea for Pinkie's attempt at live-action Pin the Tail on the Pony? I get the distinct feeling I have. This chapter very much reminds me of it.

Shink!

Funny, but this seems a bit mean and frankly horrifying for a prank by Pinkie Pie. I just can't see Pinkie Pie ever setting up a prank that would actually harm any of her friends, immortality notwithstanding.

Well, if it helps (and it probably doesn't), when I read the story which inspired this, I imagined the beheading being fatal.

I agree that it's unlikely to be a Pinkie Pie prank, even if Twilight is immortal (especially because IIRC, she was the one who wouldn't let RD prank Fluttershy). But the thought still amused me, so. . . .

I think you are wrong here: she is not exatly immortal - she is ageless. That means that Alicorns don't die from old age. Impressive trait, but it's not really as being immortal.
Celestia had been beaten by Chrysalis. Twice. Or maybe even more times, when you count comics.
Ba, when you count comics, you can see that beating Evilestia will hurt Celestia.
Of course, in there none of Alicorn had been killed, but if they can be hurt, badly, then yea, for me it's enough to say that they can die and can be killed.
So... yea, I think that right now Piknie will be banished on the moon and thrown into the dungeon for killing an Alicorn...

Well, it's supposed to be sort of silly.

I don't think we know if Luna, Celestia, Twilight, etc. can be killed or not, because that situation has never arisen in the show, and until one of them is killed, it's speculation. We do know that they can be injured, but they seem to recover from that pretty quickly.

Well, yes, that's a possibility.

But that would kill Pinkie.

Well, actually, it’s Pinkie, so it might not.
