3. It All Ends Here

It was nearly ten o'clock and Pinkie pie was getting tired, and tired of waiting for Rainbow Dash. Pinkie pie HATED waiting. So, she decided to go up into her room, and go to sleep. The pink pony walked up the wooden stairs, walked into her cupcake decorated room, then jumped on her bed and drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

----------------------------------------------------

Pinkie awoke from her slumber when she heard clattering downstairs. She figured it was Mr or Mrs Cake and went back to sleep. But she couldn't fall back asleep, the noises continued right beneath her hooves. So, she decided she would go back downstairs, see who it was, then go back to bed.

Pinkie pie crawled out of bed and walked sleepily to her bedroom door. She pushed it open gently, then tiptoed down the steps. She peeked her head into the living room. Nothing there. She then checked the bathroom and dining room. Nothing there either. There was only one place left to look. The kitchen. Pinkie walked slowly through the doors of the kitchen. She nearly screamed at what she saw. The cupcakes she made out of Rainbow Dash were destroyed, in pieces, and they littered the ground, and the ghost of Rainbow Dash was standing there.

"No! Dashie, why!" Pinkie pie said, careful to keep her voice down. "Its because you did this to me! I don't want any pony eating these. Its bad enough you killed me, but now you use my meat for cupcakes! And don't call me Dashie! Only my friends can call me that!" Pinkie pie was in fear, before Dash had a chance to stop her, she ran out the door of the bakery.

---------------------------------------------------

Dash seemed aggriavated. She wanted to take over Pinkie's body. "What if she goes insane and captures one of my friends?" Rainbow Dash decided she would follow the pink one, and make sure to put a stop to this. She went out the door, leaving Mrs and Mr Cake to figure the mess out their selves. Dash scanned the area for Pinkie pie, but she didn't see her anywhere. Maybe she went outside of Ponyville. Dash knew Pinkie had lived there when she was a filly, but knew she didn't have a very good life. Dash suddenly had a question: "Is that why she went all crazy? Reflecting on her past life on the rock farm?" But there was no time for questions. When she reached the rock farm, it looked lonely, deserted. Pinkie pie's hair was strait as could be, and she was pushing a rock. Nopony was there but the pink mare, or pink MURDERER.

"Pinkie pie!" Dash spoke. The pink pony looked up. All fear from her ghost friend had left her, now the maniac grin on her face was back. "I'm not afraid of you Dashie." Pinkie spoke with a eerily soft tone. "I said don't call me that!" Screamed Dash. "I can do whatever I want!" Pinkie screamed back. The pink mare had had enough of hanging around. She trotted back into Ponyville. Dash knew she had to follow her.

Pinkie pie ran into the bakery, and into the bathroom to poof her hair backup. She needed another batch of cupcakes for what Dash had done to the rainbow ones. Her friends couldn't see her with straight hair, it would probably freak them out. But she almost forgot! She needed to draw a number. She went downstairs into the basement and drew a number from a hat. "Number 42, Twilight Sparkle, unicorn." Pinkie mused to herself. "Good! I knew this one would come!" Pinkie said excitedly bouncing around. "I'll just have to wait until early in the morning." She went up out of the basement, up the next flight of stairs, into her bedroom, and fell asleep once again.

The bright morning sunlight flooded the room. Pinkie opening her eyes slowly. She looked at her clock. 6:00 AM, it read. "Perfect." Pinkie pie got out of bed and cleaned up the kitchen, then got out a poisoned cupcake from the fridge. It was a purpleish pink color at the bottom, with dark purple frosting at the top. It was Berry Punch's cupcake. She carefully placed it on a plate, and left a note for the cakes not to eat it, and that it was for Twilight Sparkle. Pinkie went out the door and trotted through the town, only a few ponies awake, the others asleep. Pinkie pie reached the library and knocked on the door. A purple hoof opened it, and a unicorn appeared in the doorway.

"Oh, hi Pinkie pie. What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Twilight said with a yawn. "It's SUPER important Twilight! A new line of cupcakes just came out, and we need a taste tester." Pinkie explained. "Oh! Why I would love to, after all, your cupcakes ARE the best! Do I have to come over right now?" "Yes! Yes! Right now! It's an emergency." The two mares walked out the door and to the bakery.

When they arrived, The cakes were still asleep, they slept for so long on Saturdays. "Is that cupcake for me?" Twilight said pointing at the purple pink pastry with a hoof. "It sure is! I saved this one JUST for you!" Pinkie answered. Twilight shrugged, picked it up and took a bite. It was delicious, she couldn't help taking another bite. Before she knew it, she had eaten the whole cupcake. But suddenly, she felt dizzy. "P-pinkie pie? I--." She was cut off, and she collapsed to the ground.

Pinkie pie dragged her friend into the basement, and locked the trap door. Pinkie strapped the unicorn on the table, and stuck a syringe in her chest. Twilight awoke with a jolt. "P-Pinkie pie? W-Whats going on?" "A party! This is how I make cupcakes." Pinkie took a scalpel and got to work on Twilight's cutie mark. The unicorn screamed in pain. The ghost Rainbow Dash appeared upstairs. "Hm? Wheres Pinkie pie?" Bu then she heard the screams from downstairs. She raced down the steps under the trap door. She wasn't too late. She saved Twilight Sparkle by possesing Pinkie pie. She made her drop the scalpel. Dash looked on the table, there was some thread and a needle, maybe used for sewing ponies mouths shut. Dash shuddered at the thought, and picked it up. She sewed the cutie mark back on. "P-Pinkie? Why?" "I'm no longer Pinkie pie. This is Dash inside Pinkie's body, that's what made her drop the scalpel, she was going to do horrible things to you!" "Like what?" Dash flipped the light switch on. Twilight gasped. "That's not the worst part." She carried over the stuffed doll of herself. Twilight screamed. "Don't worry, I'll untie you. I know where Pinkie keeps the camera. We can take the evidence to Princess Celestia. Twilight was untied, and they went upstairs into Pinkie's bedroom. They were careful not to wake Mr. and Mrs. Cake.

They grabbed the camera and went back downstairs. They took pictures of everything, and went to inform every pony.
.

------------------------------------------------

Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie pie were on there way to Canterlot in the royal flying carriage. All of Pinkie's friends looked at her with pure hatred in their eyes. Pinkie didn't talk much, Rainbow Dash was still in Pinkie's body. But on the inside, the trapped mare was screaming.

Dash started to feel bad. But then she went over her memories. She went to Sugar Cube corner thinking her and Pinkie pie were going to make some regular old cupcakes. But then this happened to her. She remembered her so called 'friends' maniac smile, and the fires of hell and hatred burning in the blue orbs of the pink ones eyes, as she slowly killed and tortured Dash. It made it more suffering for the cyan peagusus with all the horrible jokes. Like I think I'm gonna WING IT now, Dashie, These jokes are getting bladder, and so on. Dash no longer felt any regret for doing this to Pinkie pie; It was for her own good, and to protect the citizens of Ponyville.

"Ah can't beileve this Pinkie pie! Ah thought Rainbow Dash and all of us were your friends, Ah thought everypony was your friend!" Applejack piped up, breaking the silence. Dash's ghost just had The pink mare sit there in the cage she was placed in. "Me too! you should never betray your friends!" for once Fluttershy actually spoke with a confident tone of voice. They were nearly to the royal palace now, where they would see Princess Celestia.

Everypony was silent the rest of the way, until the carriage landed in front of the palace. The massive building appeared before the group. The white alicorn, celestia was waiting at the gate, her mane flowing and glistening with magic, matching her tail. Her eyes revealed surprise, hate and sadness all at once. The group of ponies approached, and for once, not one of them bowed, for this was a time of crisis.

"I can't believe this sweet pink baker, would bake PONIES in to cupcakes. I understand that all of us are very upset." The alicorn princess said with no greeting. Dash decided to leave Pinkie pie's body, she decided Pinkie needed to suffer more, like she did, there was no point if she couldn't talk.

Pinkie pie gasped, and began to talk, "Princess! I know what I've done is wrong, but I can change! Also, Rainbow Dash's ghost is RIGHT THERE! Can't any pony see her?" All of her friends looked at her in surprise, all except the Princess. Her horn glowed, and then an explosion of white magical light. It was a spell so she could see the ghost Rainbow Dash. Celestia gasped in horror at the sight. Dash's wings gone, scars and cuts, and all organs removed from her empty chest cavity.

"This is the first time in a long while murder has happened, but I never expected it to be this bad! I as a princess, If this ever happens, It is my duty to put Pinkie pie to death. I'm sorry." All of them gasped in horror and surprise. "But princess! Isn't there any other way?" Pleaded Twilight sparkle. "My faithful student, I know magic is very powerful, but no amount of it can change a murderers mind, and it would be too risky to keep her locked up. After Pinkie is dead, Rainbow Dash can rest in peace." Celestia answered.

All the friends seemed to agree. "Guards! Get this mare into the excile room." The Princess's guards came at once and took Pinkie pie away. "Oh...my...I-I cant believe this is happening..." Fluttershy stammered. "I agree." Said a devastated Rarity. They all went in to follow the guards to say good by to their old friend.


-----------------------------------------------------

They arrived in a room with a table with restraints, much like the one Pinkie pie had in her basement, which made the ghost Dash shudder. There was a smaller table next to it with needles filled with a white liquid, supposedly poison. The guards put Pinkie pie onto the table and strapped her down. "You have a half an hour with your friends, then we'll be back." said one of the guards. Then, they pair of them walked out, leaving them alone.

There was silence for a moment, until Fluttershy said something. "Oh, Pinkie pie. I don't know what it's gonna be like without you. If only we could say sorry like the other times." The yellow peuagusus started to sob. "I'll miss you P-Pinkie pie. Good by." Stammered Twilight Sparkle, choking back tears. "Remember that I'll always forgive you."

"Ah am upset with you Pinkie pie. But a real friend would forgive you. Ah think I just need some time though." Applejack said after the purple unicorn had trotted away. "Pinkie pie, I must be honest with you. Baking ponies into cupcakes is surly disgusting, but your my friend. But like Applejack, I need some time." Rarity said, and walked slowly away to where the others were, her styled mane bouncing a little.

The ghost Rainbow Dash saw all of her other friends say their good by's to their pink friend. She decided she would start to try to forgive Pinkie pie too. The pink mare struggled on the table, which brought back the horrible memories to Dash of herself trying to get free of the table in the basement of Sugar Cube Corner. Dash then also decided, she would try to forget these bad memories along with forgiveness. She knew it would be hard, but not impossible. After each one of the four remaining elements of harmony exited the room, two guards came in, and they all watched through a window.

They both looked the same, white peagasi with matching uniforms. One of them picked up a syringe. All Pinkie pie's friends could do was watch in sheer horror as the guard stuck the needle in pinkie's arm. Pinkie let out a low whimper. Her blue orbs of eyes did not reveal any anger. Only sadness and regret. The guard looked down at her with eyes that revealed no emotion, no forgiveness, and no love. He seemed as though he didn't care if this mare died. Pinkie pie felt as though she couldn't blame him. She had murdered dozens of ponies, and he could have been her next batch for all she knew.

Then her eyes darted over to her friends. Fluttershy was crying, as well as Rarity. Applejack and Twilight sparkle were choking their tears back, a couple of them streaming down their checks. Twilight said something. Pinkie pie couldn't hear her well, but she read her lips that said "Good by." She smiled in return. There was only a few minutes left until Pinkie pie would die. She could feel herself getting weaker by the minute. Then, everything started to go black. The guards above her started to look blurry and fade. Then, She closed her eyes. Forever.

Her friends watching from the window gasped. "Well.... I....I guess Its over." Stammered Fluttershy. The guards walked out of the room. They told Pinkie's friends they were going to inform Princess Celestia. A few moments later, Celestia came walking down the long hall, her pure white hooves making a clicking sound. "I was informed that Pinkie pie has been killed. I'm sorry there was no other way. Two elements of harmony are dead, so Luna and I might have to go back to wielding the elements. Now, No pony will ever speak of this day again." Applejack, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle and Fluttershy bowed and nodded their heads.

Pinkie pie was no more, the baker would no longer hurt any pony in all of Equestria. Rainbow Dash learned to forgive Pinkie pie, and could finally rest in peace.


THE END

Comments ( 51 )

Well I can't say its THAT original, but it still looks interesting....going to RIL and give it a thumbs up for now.

I'm going to be completely honest here. My expectations for this story were absolutely nil, and that was due to my own bias against its source material. However, I'm pleased to say that this was interesting, even a bit original.

This would benefit a lot if you were to slow the pace down and look more into Rainbow's psyche. Explain her feelings regarding the manner in a way that can make the audience sympathize with her, and not just indifference towards her predicament.

763237 ok, thanks for your advice!

I have to say, this might be my best story, 4 likes, and 0 dislikes! usually, I have 4 or 5 likes and the same amount of dislikes. Thanks! :pinkiesad2: :derpytongue2:

I liked it! A lot! Srsly! :pinkiehappy: Thumbs up for ya!

So this is a squeal to Cupcakes ? Right?

Ooooohhh my stomach hurts now.. :pinkiesick:

:763435Yes or as one of pinkaminas friend and I quote"wi ,zat iz correct madme."

763435 yes, this is a cupcakes sequel. :pinkiecrazy:

763387 Thank you so MUCH, I'm glad you enjoyed! :twilightsmile:

Why the Buck are her friends saying goodbye? They should be celebrating that Pinkie is going to Hay... also, her death should have been WAYYYYY more painful, and slower.

Are you kidding? You should never forgive her.

Their reactions: :fluttercry::ajsleepy::raritydespair::facehoof::rainbowderp:
What they should have been: :yay::ajsmug::rainbowlaugh::raritywink::twilightsmile::pinkiegasp:

I liek dis story tho

Oh Gods... don't tell me you got Creepy Ponies cover art... *shudders* Though I like her style of drawing, and those pictures, they gave me a weird nightmare once.
But good start to a story. Keep it up!:pinkiehappy:

Great idea, but it feels like you were sprinting to the end.

A wise member once said "show, don't tell".

Well done, positive voted.

1. Pinkie admitted she wasn't in the right state of mind when she did it, though that doesn't come close to excusing what she did.

2. Pinkie was still their friend and I certainly would feel bad if one of my friends had to be executed for something like this.

3. Painless execution is an act of mercy. The whole point of the story is Dash making sure Pinkie couldn't do what happened to her and I take it to include Pinkie herself. Nobody deserves to be tortured to death, murderers included. We may say that they do, but I'm sure we don't mean it.

All in all, a pretty nice story, grammar errors notwithstanding.

763908 You make a VERY good point :trollestia:

Pinkie's friends wouldn't hate Pinkie for what she'd done- of course they'd be disgusted and angry, but they wouldn't hate Pinkie. In fact, they'd do whatever they could to help Pinkie overcome her mental sickness and to keep her from the death sentence.

Then again, since Equestria is basically a land of sunshine and rainbows, I guess they wouldn't have much experience with mental sickness.

While it wasn't perfect by any means, and it was somewhat rushed, I can't honestly call this bad, because it isn't, sure it has a few mistakes, but overall it works.

The attempt to end 'Cupcakes' with a less dark conclusion is appreciated, and while i thought it could have used some extra time to flesh out some of the ideas and draw out some of the scenes for better effect, I think the short length compliments it, in the end, not many people like to remember 'Cupcakes' :unsuresweetie:, and a shorter time reminding us of it, while at the same time providing some closure, is good.

While I can't warrant faving this I will definitely at least 'like' this, it deserves a read if you've seen the fic this was based off, and you did well on it. :twilightsmile:

kudos!

763974 Thanks! I actually wrote a cupcakes sequel, but it didn't turn out very good... So I deleted that one and wrote this one a while after. glad you liked it! :derpytongue2:

Good to see you're not afraid to recognise your own mistakes and able to improve, the ability to criticise yourself, along with accepting criticism, is invaluable in any creative pursuit, keep that up and you'll only continue to improve! :twilightsmile:

764023 :twilightsmile: yeah, I think the reason people didn't like the last one, WAY too rushed, more grammatical errors, and didn't really make sense. This one took more than an hour. I worked on this for almost a whole month, planning EVERYTHING.

While this story certainly isn't bad, it has its flaws. It definitely feels rushed and I think that there is some wasted potential here. I think what this story needs is a little more conflict. This conflict could be generated by lengthening the time it takes Dash to figure out how to bring Pinkie to justice. You could buffer this time by having Dash harass Pinkie (i.e. during a moment when Pinkie was distracted by something, have Dash suddenly manifest behind her and whisper murderer in her ear). You could also throw in some more verbal conflict (i.e. Dash gets called Dashie by Pinkie Pie and Dash snaps at her "You don't get to call me that anymore, only my Friends get to call me that!"), Another method would be to take a page from the movie Ghost(1990) and have Dash be forced to learn how to use her ghostly powers (telekinesis, phasing, ect.).

The story's resolution is also a little anticlimactic. Pinkie's execution is rather tragic, but the events leading up to it fall rather flat. You can fix this by giving it a proper climax by either building up to Dash possessing Pinkie (i.e. Pinkie kidnaps another member of the mane cast and Dash tries to stop her, the fight ending with Dash possessing her), or by turning the possession into the climax itself (turn the act of possessing Pinkie into a battle in the center of the mind with her).

tl;dr This story holds a lot of potential, and with the proper tweaking could be fashioned into a good supernatural psychological thriller with the ghost monster as the hero. A solid C+ from me.

I just finished reading this, and to be honest, I would give this story a 6/10 since there were some capitalization errors and it was a bit short, but overall it was a good read.

Pinkie Pie finally got what she deserved! But it was sad for Pinkie Pie to go, too!:fluttercry:

765191 Okay, thanks for the advice! I'm going to fix this up right now. :pinkiecrazy: :rainbowkiss:

i almost cryed!!!!!!!!!!:unsuresweetie: this was to sad!!!!!!!:raritycry: PINKIE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:raritycry::raritycry::raritycry::raritycry::raritycry: she was my favorite...:rainbowkiss: goodbye pinkie... goodbye.:facehoof:

YOUR CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:pinkiegasp:

767293 I know I am, but what are you? :pinkiecrazy:

:pinkiecrazy: well, it actually makes sense. The cupcakes story is fantastic, and pinkie actually does go insane in the episode party of one

Well, I wish this story was longer, but it was still good.

The edit makes it a lot better, but I still feel that the climax is a little bit of a let down. I mean that Rainbow dash possesses her and that's it, problem solved. Still, you improved it quite a bit and I feel that it's ready for an up-vote now.

769417 Thanks! :twilightsmile: I'll can make more edits soon, most likely tomorrow.

769559 If you make more edits, I only would suggest to you to describe things more often.

One point that really kind of disappointed me in your story was the whole Pinkie kidnapping Twilight thing. It's way to rushed and (in my opinion) should get a better description.

But like I said before, the plot is good. Also this is only my opinion. I can understand if people don't want this described.

Also this story shows something really important.
The plot is what matters. Even though this could be improved (much! Sorry for stating this so rude.) many people (me included) do like the story.

My stories never are rated, no matter how much work I put into them. :pinkiesad2: Maybe my plot isn't good enough?

Anyways, I hope to see more of your work in future.

821329 thanks! If I have time tommorow I'll make edits

821329 thanks! If I have time tommorow I'll make edits>>821460 and also, you were not rude AT ALL. I had SO many dislikes, and rude comments with swears on my first cupcakes story. I was actually pretty surprised people liked this. :derpytongue2:

821538 well, I'm glad you see it like this. (Was kind of worried because of bad experience)

About the surprisation (Typical me. I don't find a word I'll just make another one up. Out of in my stories of course.) I hated the first story I wrote. But some people don't mind my opinion of hating it and are trolling me with thumbing it up or giving it favs. I don't get it :fluttershysad:. (I made up it's story in three minutes, second chapter fully without the enter key, gramatical and general writing errors....)
But it really surprised me.
Well like I said, your good plot is what is making this whole storie up.
I sure hope the best for you. Maybe somewhen I'll look back to this time and then I can say: I gave him advice :twilightsmile:.
And then I surely collaps to the ground into my new coffin :twilightsheepish:.
Why is the twilight sheepish emoticon looking exactly like the twilight blush emoticon on my computer today?

825154 thank you! and I think I'll give you some advice on your stories (once I read them :twilightsheepish: ) oh and by the way, I'm a she, not a he.

825378 well I'm sorry for that one. Could have guessed your female. Even though I don't know much female members on fimfiction.

To the thingie with my stories, I always appreciate critic.
But since I wrote much about my first story as example, I want to make sure your not doing this because of my posts.Because this would make me all :facehoof:

I don't think I will give you more comments under this storie, because I said everything I had to say.
If you update this storie and want some review on how you did it feel free to send me a pm.

If you decide to look at my stories, I'll see you later anyways.

bye
