Temptation in Sorrow

by Belial

Finally...It ends...

It had been two weeks since they had went to that water park. Two ordinary, normal weeks for Pinkie Pie. Smiling, laughing, crying, and making others happy.

Now, shew as at the library, where she had recently tripped and cut her nose on the corner of a table.

Pinkie sniffled as Twilight poured peroxide on her nose. The gash there was still bleeding some. "That was one SHARP table corner, Twilight!" She said, a bit to loudly, waving her forelegs back and fourth above her head. Twilight sighed, rolling her eyes. "Pinkie, hold still. I need to clean this." She said, in a slightly irritated voice. "Sorry..." Pinkie said, smiling sheepishly. Somehow, she couldn't stop herself from thinking, Shouldn't they be worried about hurting you?

But, she didn't show anything. The look of sorrow didn't escape. She had perfected the art of keeping it in, after all. As Twilight finished cleaning her cut, Pinkie had more thoughts - Things she didn't want to think. Her eyes flitted around the room, and she tried to block it off, but they kept coming Terrible things, that she had reason to ignore, yet...They did make her think.

They don't love you...

No! They Care!

They don't care at all, do they, Pinkie...?

Don't say that...!

They'd be better off without you, Pinkie...

Without...Me....?

You taught them how to smile...That was your purpose, right?

Y-Yeah...

That's all you needed to do, right...? And you've done that.

I...I suppose so...

Though she didn't notice it, Pinkie had already said goodbye to Twilight and was walking home. Everypony looked at her oddly, because her head was down and she was silent. Pinkie, Silent. It didn't process in their brains very well.

Maybe she was playing a game? Must be it.

She trudged home, lost in thoughts, her face vacant of expression. She absentmindedly murmured hello to someone, before going back to her journey home.

You're just a nuisance now.

A nuisance....? I guess...I guess I am, aren't I...? I just annoy everyone....They can be happy on their own now...

Yes, that's right.... They don't need you anymore...

She was home now, and she ran into the door once before opening it. She cut her leg on the side of the counter as she nearly fell over it on her way to the stares, but completely ignored it. Didn't feel a thing. She practically dragged herself up the stairs. The Cakes were out, The store was closed, and nopony was around to see her. She fell into her door, before opening it up with a shaky hoof,

I'm not needed, then...I'm just a bother...

You're not just unneeded, Pinkie. Your UNWANTED, too, you know.

Unwanted....? I....I'm unwanted....?

Pinkie didn't register the tears. She didn't feel her hair deflate, her fur loose its vibrancy. She didn't notice how her room seemed to darken around her, the closed curtains letting in even less light than usual. She fell over, onto a box of party supplies. It hurt, but she couldn't tell. Tears fell to the floor as she cried like never before, upon the realization that nopony needed her.

She was an unneeded toy, already used. Her usefulness was up. Everypony in Ponyville had felt her warmth and sunshine, and now could spread it on their own. She had taught a couple ponies how to make parties. They didn't need her anymore.

Just get out of their way, Pinkie

She stumbled up, facing the direction of her Super-Duper-Luper-Ultimate Party Kit.

Let them rise, Pinkie. Your holding them back.

She took a few shaky steps forward, her eyes on the giant bag, surrounded by streamers in all the colors of the rainbow.

Rid the world of your useless presence, Pinkie.

She reached for the bag, feeling around until something cut her hoof.

DIE, Pinkie.

She took out the large cake knife, her hoof shaking more than ever.

Just go ahead and DIE, Pinkie.

She held it up, staring at it with two tear-soaked blue eyes.

Come on, Pinkie! DIE!

She slowly reached toward herself, squeezing her eyes closed.

Your just making PROBLEMS

As the cold metal touched her chest, she let out a shaky breath. This was it. this really was it.

Her final moment of glory.

Her moment to shine.

DIE!

Push

Splurt.

Blood pored down her chest as, in a sudden movement, she pushed. She gasped out loud, but didn't stop. She buried it deeper in her chest, ignoring the red river that burst fourth. She needed this!

Because they didn't need her!

Push.

Because they didn't want her!

Push.

Because they would be better off without her!

Push.

Because she couldn't bear to live anymore!

Finally, with a sickening gasp, she fell over, the tip of the knife pressed into her heart.

As she lay, more tears ran down.

They were all free now - Free of her. They could be truly happy now.

Happy, without her.

This is what she wanted.

And finally, she gave one last smile.

A small, fragile smile.

A real smile.

Because it didn't hurt anymore.

And then...

Darkness.

Finally, I'm free of this pain....

Finally....It ends.
