When Pinkie Pie finds a mask in the middle of the Everfree Forest, Things become bad for the group
When Pinkie Pie, the trickster mage finds a mask in the middle of the Everfree Forest. She runs of the Twilight for some assistance. Although the makes is very similar to Pinkie's Trickster mask, things don't seem right about it. (My Little Mages was created by Didj (originally said ponibooru, what is wrong with me) on Deviantart. It was just some of the character for FIM turned into humanized versions of the characters and made the world more magical. Any one who has seen the image may know where the fic will end up (if so please don't spoil in the comments)).
My Little Mages: A Mask Of Insanity Chapter 1: Loud morning
It has been quiet in all of Equestria for nearly three months now. It was nice but very confusing. It was never quiet for at least a fortnight or so, especially considering the fact that I live in the country, a place that has a natural reputation for bad things to happen. But still none the less, it was nice. I thought I’d give myself and spike a lie in for a few more minutes before I woke him up and start his everyday chores. That was until I heard the door knock so loudly that not only did it make me jump, it made spike so scared that he sprang onto the roof and just stayed there shaken up.
“HELLO, IS ANYONE HOME?”
I heard the voice as clear and as crisp is it could be. It was Pinkie Pie.
“I’m coming, I’m coming” I simple said with a bit of a grudge. How can of all people be awake at this time at the morning, let alone Pinkie Pie. True she was very energetic but she normally sleeps in late just so she can Perform tricks at night with everything she’s got. “What is it Pinkie”.
I could see her face going purple. She normally did this whenever she is excited or nervous, or possibly both. “Pinkie calm down now explain the situation slowly” Finally at this point spike had dropped on the ground from the roof and was back to sleep again in a second, I never did understand how he did that. He probably never gets nightmares or something like that.
At this point Pinkie started explaining the situation. “Well, I was walking down the Everfree forest trying to find some poison joke for April Fool Day but when I found some I saw I pink smiley face mask just like my for when I do tricks at parties. But this one looked really scary so I ran to you to see if you could find anything about it in one of your books.”
“Pinkie, it’s the middle of June. Why are you planning April fool’s day so early?”
“I’ve got my reason.” She said with a massive on her face while giggling. “But that’s not the point, can come to the Everfree forest with me?”
I simply sighed and just accepted it. “Fine, it’s not like I have anything better to do today anyway. Just let me get cha” At this point I was only just realised I was only wearing my underwear. I instantly shut the door in embarrassment and got changed as quickly as possible. I would normally have some coffee before I even think about going out but this shocked me big enough to just not need it, in fact I felt like I just drank a dozen cups of the stuff without thinking it through. No wonder Pinkie Pie was giggly, even she would remember that, even if someone was knocking on the door at 6 in the morning. “Please don’t ever do that again Pinkie; people might start to think I’m tardy. Or worse.” I could tell I was blushing. Who wouldn’t at that incident?
She simply nodded furiously. “Cross my heart, hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye.” She instantly stuck one her fingers in the eye, yet she didn’t even react to it, let alone bleed like most people.
How did that never hurt her? Not only is it the fact that she stuck the finger in her eye but she also has really long nails as well. It’s almost as if she doesn’t feel pain.
I grabbed my staff and walked on out. “Spike, when get back I would like to see you up doing your chores.” He simply muffled and rolled other to the other side of the bed. “Ok bye.” I knew he was listening, I had a secret stash of gems in my safe which I would only give him if did as he was told, and doesn’t refuse anything for a gem. Maybe besides Rarity.
I walked out of the door and shut it tight. Pinkie was showing me the way while skipping as she would normally, even when she was nervous about something she wou... I just realised my thought, when was Pinkie ever nervous, guess that mean she only talks fast when excited then.
It was still purple dark outside, visible but still dark. “Why do always wake at this time of the day, I mean it’s still dark out.” Princess Luna wouldn’t be happy about what I just said, but she’s been through enough to forgive everyone about it. After all, 1000 years is a long time to think things through.
We walked in complete silence until we reached where Pinkie had found the mask. I saw the differences between Pinkie one and this one. Unlike Pinkie’s, this one was flat faced, her one had a nose hole. It also had a smaller mouth piece and a tear coming from both ends of the eyes. She was right, it was creepy; true she said “scary” but has always been know for going over the top with things, apart from Rarity about ANY minor incident.
I went to reach up for the mask but once I touched it I felt a strange spiritual energy shot my back from getting hold of it. I fell onto my back with Pinkie laughing in the background, a bit immature of her if you ask me. I sight was blurry for a couple of seconds until I saw a black figure. She had white stripes coming down her face with to tiki masks flooding around her. It was Zecora.
I simply smiled at her very sheepishly. As so did Pinkie. Zecora was not happy, but I was very confused as to why. Did it have something to do with that mask, it can't be, it's just a mask. Right
It was a few moments of silence before one of us had the bravery to speak. It was me of course, Pinkie had to much of a shock in her to be the first.
"Is everything alright Zecora? Did you really need to push me?"
She just simply looked at me with a serious face and then she started speaking.
"Curiosity killed the cat, and turns the most sweetest of people into rats"
It took me a few seconds to understand what she meant by that but then it hit me. It was to do with the mask, but I still didn't understand why. In fear I ran off. Zecora can be a nice person but when she takes things seriously you didn't want to end up on her bad side. I remember once when someone attempted to set her house on fire just so someone could sound like a hero for saving her, she simply placed a opposite onto him and he was in the hospital for two week from burn marks.
I had become day light by now with Celestia's sun shining brightly. Funny how when you are ever in the Everfree forest it always looks as if it is night time, sounds like Princess Luna's form of heaven, I giggled a little bit at that moment. That was until I realised that Pinkie Pie wasn't with me.
I ran off in such fear that I forgot to drag her along with me, but she'll be alright, I mean she can nearly define the laws of Physics. No wonder she wasn't hit by the spirit push which Zecora casted on us. I'm sure she will be alright.
The next few days were once again very quiet. I helped out Applejack in selling some apples from a book I read about salesmanship, yeah it has been that quiet. I helped Fluttershy the day after study a new druid spell to help animals eat when they needed to and I finally helped Rarity with some new cloths she was designing for her next fashion show.
Yeah. Everything was very chilled these past few months.
Then, half way through helping Rarity I received a letter, Spike always helped out Rarity whenever he could.
"A latter, from the Princess Twilight?" said Rarity while concentrating on placing in the final gen onto her new dress.
"certainly looks like it." I removed the red ribbon from the scroll and began reading. "My most Faithful Student, Twilight Sparkle. I request your immediate attention at the Royal palace in Canterlot. Meet me at the Royal Opera house on 27th Helm Street. Bring along all of your friends as well for they might be able to help. Princess Celestia." I didn't really know what to say but it sounded very serious. This is the first time ever the Princess has ever called for me or my friends not in the Royal Throne Room. What could have been the incident.
Me and Rarity started to panic and we both ran out the "carousel Boutique" and headed to "Sugar Cube Corner" to get Pinkie Pie.
As soon as we went into the building we saw Mr. and Mrs. Cake Preparing their daily batch of Muffins. At this point, a Blonde girl with yellow, lazy eyes smashed through the roof of the building. She was also carrying a hand bag with letters. It was Derpy Hooves, the only person I knew besides Pinkie to be a little bit crazy, but just like Pinkie, it was inner cent crazy. We all knew that she was different but was not her fault, so we treated her just like anybody else.
"Morning Mr. and Mrs. Cake. Here are yours and Pinkie letter for today" She said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you Derpy, you arrived just in time, we just finished your muffins, I hope they taste just as nice as they were last time?" Mrs. Cake said al if she had not seen Derpy for a few weeks, so sightly shocked and slight happy as well. But the shock must have mostly come from the fact she had just broke their roof. At this point Derpy worked her magic. One muffin just magically disappeared and started a reverse spelled. The roof pieces started floating and assembled back onto the roof. That was Derpy's magical ability, she was a muffin mancer. It's kind of funny really, she can only ever perform a spell by sacrificing a muffin. These spells can be anything from fixing a roof, to putting out a huge forest fire. After this she simply walked out of the door, took out a bubble bottle and started blowing on it. oh, that's another thing, she likes bubbles.
"Pardon me Mrs. Cake, sorry to bother you but have seen Pinkie Pie any where?" I asked slightly confused as to what I just saw.
"I'm sorry Twilight, I haven't seen Pinkie in the last couple of days." She said with a slight worry on her face.
I would have said "thank you for your time" but I was in such a hurry that I just ran out of Sugar Cube Corner and went off to get the others.
I few hours later me, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were in The Royal Opera house waiting for the Princess to arrive.
"What do ya'll think the problem is?" said Applejack worryingly.
"I... I... Don't know." Fluttershy was clearly scared as to what she was going to see.
At this point Princess Celestia walked in with a panic on her face.
"Ah Twilight, your here." I could tell she was panicked about something. "I'm sorry you have to see this but I couldn't trust anyone else but the elements of harmony, especially Pinki... Wait where is Pinkie Pie?" She looked around hesitantly.
"Sorry Princess, but we couldn't find her in time and we thought that you needed use urgently."
"I understand, Fluttershy if you want to, you can not come in. What you will see might scar you for life."
"Oh... okay." She clearly didn't want to go in, especially after what Princess Celestia just said. In fact, even I was scared.
Celestia opened the curtains to reveal in stall section of the theatre. But the theatre wasn't what was worrying. it was what was on the stage.
A Pale Women with grey hair. She had a Cello lying next to her and was lying in a pool of blood. The other thing laying next to her on the other side must have been to symbol of the killing.
Shock was all we could for nearly a whole minute. It was a miracle we weren't any closer to the corpse otherwise one of us might a fainted from being disturbed. Finally, Celestia spoke.
"This body was found over 5 hours ago, by her partner. We have to body where it is until you had arrived."
I could only stand there in shock. That was until I started walking without knowing it. i felt like someone needed to sort this out and if no one else was going to do it then it should be me.
The closer I walked to the stage, the louder the noise could become. I didn't notice it at first but, someone was crying. I walked up to the front of the stage and looked right. Two people were sitting on the stalls, one of them was crying while the over was caring for her, coating her in a towel from shock. The one caring looked like a police officer, clearly here for the inspection. The other, a pale women with lighting blue hair, she had a pair of purple sunglasses on her head. She was wearing a white non-sleeved shirt and a set of deans.
"Why, sob why did it have to happen to her" I heard her cry. Who ever she was she clearly was close to the victim.
"Excuse miss. I'm sorry to bother you at such a hard moment but can I ask you a few question?" I asked felling a little bit dead inside. How could I just say that?!
" Yes, sob yes you can." I sat next to her and grabbed hold of her knee gently. I took out my notepad and a pencil and started asking her my questions.
"name?"
"Vinyl, Vinyl Scratch." She was calming down a little bit but I didn't stop her from crying. I had yet to wonder what her mage ability was but I didn't think that was necessary at the moment.
"Occupation?"
"Sound illusionist. I create music using Illusions to the ear."
"Okay, and can I ask how you are connected to the victim?" At this point she looked at me in anger and lept at me.
"SHE HAS A NAME." she clearly cared for this person. I felt so stupid. I haven't been bothered to ask what the victims name was. "HER NAME IS OCTAVIA. AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUST CALL HER A VICTIM."
"I... I'm... sorry." I felt so guilty at this point.
"No. I should be. She was my partner." She starting crying again at this point. But I was still confused.
"A partner in what, in music, business, what?" Now I really did feel stupid, it was obvious. I thought I had offended her. But I begged to differ.
"My partner, as in, my lover." I could her pain, even though I had never lost anyone in my life so important.
"That, that should be enough questions for now, sorry for interrupting your time." I closed my notepad and placed it back in my pocket. I had never done detective work before apart from that time me and Pinkie with the MMM.
As I stood up I saw something on the stage. Not only was the corpse of "Octavia" butchered. But the cupcake next to her was not on her own. From afar I didn't see it but up close it was as clear as crystal. There were two cupcakes. The one I had seen was very dull and boring but clearly had a meaning. It had a Gray case, with black frosting. Octavia was wearing a very fromal suit which was grey and she had black hair. Now I saw the killers trade mark, the cupcake resembled to victim. The other had a dark grey/brown case but instead of black frosting it looked sort of goldy, yellow. Was this the look of the next victim. I couldn't tell.
"cuse me Princess, but what has this got to do with us?" said Rainbow Dash in quite a disrespectful way. If Vinyl had heard her, she probably been in hospital in about 2 seconds.
"Because you are the trustful people I know." Celestia did not look happy with what Rainbow had said, but it was a fair point.
"But why a cupcake?" Said Applejack
"I don't kno...." I interrupted Rarity at this just so they had got the message.
"Why two cupcakes, one of which resembles the victim. The other resembles who's next." Applejack, had a shock on her face when she heard this, but I don't think it was because of that. I think she realised something.
"I know that this is crazy talk but." she hold her breath seconds for us to prepare for what it was we were going to here. "What if was Mr. and Mrs. cake. I don't any other people out there that would leave a cupcake behind as a symbol."
I thought she was insane for a couple of seconds, but it made sense. And it didn't. I didn't want to jump to conclusion but I had no choice. We all ran to the train station with Fluttershy trying to catch up along with a few Royal Canterlot guards.
We arrived at Ponyvile in 2 hours time. Once the train stopped we all jumped out of the train and ran as quickly as possible to Sugar Cube Corner. The Guards slammed open the door and grabbed hold of Mr. and Mrs. Cake.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cake. We are arresting you on suspension of murder. You do not have to say anything but anything you do say will be given in evidence." Mrs Cake had such a massive shock on her face that she couldn't even speak. Mr. Cake was mostly confused about the situation, he couldn't stop asking questions but none of them were answered. I felt even more guilty now then I did with Vinyl and her girlfriend Octavia. Imagine how Pinkie Pie would have reacted to this. At that point I had realised something. I found out who the next victim was.
"IT'S CRANKY." Who else would had it been. Gold hair, he wears a golden wig which resembled to the golden frosting. I ran as fast as I could until I reached Cranky Doodle Donkey's house. I knocked on the door, but no response. I tried again, but as before, no response. At this point I grew impatient. I broke down the door only to be shocked once more.
He was dead.
Chapter 4: Who's Next (Story is mature from here on in (things get really messed up in this chapter, you have been warned))
I couldn't get any sleep last. And I would blame anyone else who couldn't.
Two People dead, butchered and left with just a cupcake on their side. Who would do such horrible things to people? I felt as if this wasn't just any ordinary killings we were dealing with. Someone clearly knew what he was doing.
I remember exactly what I saw. The cupcake that is. But I couldn't tell who it was suppose to resemble. There was only one cupcake this time round. I think there was two last time to resemble the person who was killed. This Cupcake had two frosting colours on it. One orange, the other brown. It also had little toppings on them as well. On one side a horn like topping, on the other it looked like as if the top of the cake was cut off and shaped into wings.
Who ever it was that was next, it was clearly two people. One a unicorn, the other a pegasus.
Silence
I thought I had found the victims were. But I refused to believe it. It couldn't be. No one could be that twisted.
I tried to take it off my mind and tried to get some sleep. It was hard, but I managed to achieve it.
The next day I woke up later then usual. Spike had already got up and started his chores. Very unlike him for only being a baby dragon. Baby, baby. I cringed at the thought and took it out of my mind. I got changed and set off ready for work. Whatever that was at the time of the year. Then I remembered.
Mr. and Mrs. Cake were going to be released from questioning after what was heard about Cranky. they weren't to be realised until later today. I hope Pinkie was at Sugar Cube Corner not only to welcome them back, but so she could look after the twins.
I walked down to Sugar Cube Corner and opened the door as calmly as possible. "Good morning Pinkie Pie. How have the Twins bee..." I stopped at my tracks. Opened my eyes and realised on one was there. But there was something on the stand of the till. A tray of cupcakes. I tried not to think much about the product at the moment due to what's been happening recently.
I smelt fresh. They must have just came out of the oven. I walked over to them. "Hello, is anyone there?" I said out loud. But on answer. I got a large sniff at the cupcakes, then I noticed it. They smelt of meat. I didn't understand. Meat cupcakes? Or worse?
I picked one of the cupcakes up. My hands were shaking, I knew something wasn't right. Them I ripped it open.
Blood dripped out of a small tear in the cupcake, I couldn't believe it. I ripped it open even more. What I saw there, no one should ever have to look at. Small intestines, an eye and little bit of a horn.
I would have fainted if it weren't for the fact that I needed to know that this was what I was seeing. whoever the killer was, they couldn't do such a thing like this could they. I walked into the kitchen. They did.
There they both were. Hanging on to separate hooks.
Pound and Pumpkin Cake's flesh.
Their corpses made the kitchen smell horrible. But no matter what I couldn't look away. Until I saw everything black out. I before I blacked out. I saw one more thing. I final cupcake. Purple case with a darker purple frosting.
Me.
I could feel that someone was trying to suffercate me. I not to kill me, only to pass me out.
And they succeed
-----------------------
A bit of me died inside when I wrote this chapter. I hate the fan fic "Cupcakes" and yet here I am writing a very similar story to it. I kept on stopping through it and think "what the hell it wrong with me." I knew where the story was going. But I felt sick in the head for writing it. Anyway I hope you liked it because I will not be doing anything like that EVER again..
I woke up several hours later in a daze. I still felt tied until I woke up properly and started paying attention to what was around me.
The room was cold, dark and the horrid smells of rotten meat and damp spread across the room. There was no light sauce in the room apart from a candle lit above me, with wax dropping on my forehead. I was sitting on a chair, tied up. But not by rope, but by magic. Nothing was tying my down, yet I still couldn’t get up. I tried everything I could to break free. But I was hopeless without my staff. No spell in existence could break me free. The only way to break free from such a spell is if it was countered by the caster. I only knew two people who could cast such a spell. One was Princess Celestia (don’t ask how I know that), the other by Pinkie Pie. But Pinkie only ever used it for magic tricks.
I started hearing footsteps coming towards me. They were gentle but the shoes the person was wearing had a squeak to them. Then whoever it was started talking.
“Hello Twiley.” She said while giggling and walking into the light. She was hunching back wearing a pink jester’s outfit, pink straighten hair and a bubble hat on top with balloons on it. She was carrying a set of knives in one hand and a cupcake in the other. But none of these drew my attention because of what was on her face.
A mask.
The same as the last one. Flat-faced, small mouth and the tears coming from both ends. Now it all made sense. Why Pinkie Pie hasn’t been seen over the past few days. Why all the killings have had at least one cupcake on their side. And why it was all them.
Pinkie Pie started speaking again whilst giggling and breathing heavily. “Oh, I’m sorry. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Pinkamena Diane Pie, Professional Cupcake maker. Have you been enjoying my work Twiley? Or have you been laughing at me like you always do!” She said that last sentence in anger. “Oh, don’t I just make the sweetest of cupcakes? Though I must say my first recipe tasted bitter from all the fear my sister had in her.”
Sister? Of course. Pinkie did say something to me about her sister becoming a famous cellist and falling in love with a sound illusionist. But I didn’t know it was Octavia.
“And Crankey, oh. He was too stringy. Created a bad texture in the mouth. And then there were the babies. OOOHHHHH. So delicious, just like Buell steak. So juicy and moist.”
I felt disgusted; this wasn’t the Pinkie I knew. Whatever it did that mask has taken control over her.
“Oh, did I forget to mention that before you came to Sugar Cube Corner, Mr and Mrs Cake showed up and well they were in for one heck of a surprise party weren’t they.”
She switched on some more lights. Revealing two people being hanged on two separate hooks. One of which had pink hair. The other had orange. It was Mr and Mrs Cake alright. Both gutted and had their intestines taken out. Just hanging there, in the cold with their eyes open. I could see the horror in their eyes, the feeling of being butchered and turned into what they made daily must have felt horrible.
“They were so fight sty, always shake me away, pushing me and Mr Cake even managed to get me on the ground for a few seconds. But it wasn’t enough.” No matter what happened, Pinkamena just wouldn’t stop giggling and sobbing. “But enough chit chat. Time for you to be my new recipe for success.” She walked towards me and placed a knife on my throat. I gulped in fear and she started talking again. “Awww, how cute. Your sweating. GOOD. Fear just leaves a bitter taste in the mouth so it’s better to get rid of it before I kill you. I learnt that my first time round. Tell you what, because you didn’t laugh at me as much as the others did, I’ll give you your famous last words. But I’d be quick because I’m not patient person.”
I closed my eyes and looked down. It wasn’t easy with a knife being on my neck, but I did it anyway. I thought through all the happy memories I had in my life. Being raised by my parents, being tutor by Princess Celesta herself. Spending happy times with my friends, especially with Pinkie Pie. After these thoughts I start crying. Slowly, but crying none the less.
“WELL, have you thought it yet?” Yelled Pinkamena. And then I spoke.
“Pinkie. I know you can hear me. And I ask you just to listen to me please. We always loved as a friend and we never laughed at you, it was always with you. That was why you became a trickster mage wasn’t it? You wanted to make people laugh. But look at what your body is doing. It’s taking orders from someone who just wants to hurt people. If you can hear this Pinkie, then fight back. You are better and stronger then the ask. I know you can do it. I believe in you.”
I could hear Pinkamena crying from what I said. “That was beautiful.” She realised the knife back from my neck and stretched her arm out back, getting ready to slice. “Too bad, she can’t hear yo...!” She stopped at that moment. Her eyes shined up in shock and started walking backwards.
She dropped her knife and cupcake. The she was trying to rip off the mask. She was shaking while trying to do it, jumping around just trying to get the mask off. Then she started shouting to herself.
“WHAT YOU DOING?! YOU WON’T STOP ME! I COULD GET RID OF THEM FOR YOU! YOU DON’T NEED THEM! THEY HAVE ONLY EVER LAUGHED AT YOU AND CALLED YOU NAMES BEHIND YOUR BACK! WHY WON’T YOU GET THIS?! EVERYTHING WILL WORK IF YOU JUST LET DO I CAN DO?!”
The mask had ripped off now. I heard it fall on the floor. Pinkie Pie was back. But the horrors she had created were still in her mind. She only saw one thing to do.
She must have seen something I couldn’t because she ran off to the other side to whatever this building was. She came back holding a massive hammer in her hands. The hammer Big Macintosh uses, he was a cleric. If any kind of magic was out there to remove evil spirits from items it would have been holy magic.
She Lifted the hammer up while screaming. And hit it on the ground with such a hard force that even I didn’t expect what happened next.
The hammer bounced back and the mask start producing a massive swirling vortex of pink and purple. I could hear the screams and see the horrifying faces the vortex was making. That mask was a Horcrux.
Pinkie Pie bounced back with the hammer flying five meters in the air and falling ten meters away from the vortex. She lied there for a couple of seconds before getting back up and running to the vortex with full anger and sadness in her eyes. She lifted the hammer again and smashed the centre of the vortex.
After the vortex had died down I had a look at Mr and Mrs Cake on the hooks. Strangely there intestines were growing back and their bellies were stitching themselves back together. Once their bodies had grown back. They both gasped for air and started heavily breathing. Once the mask was destroyed whoever it was it killed must have regenerated and come back to life.
Although I was happy to see this, I was honestly happier about the fact that I could finally move again. But then I saw Pinkie.
She was just lying there. Crying.
“Why won’t you go away?” She cried. I walked up to her and held her shoulder. Her hair had gone back to being curly again, so she was clearly back.
The fields were very pretty at night time. Especially when you can still see the light coming from the Sweet Apple Acres barn. Of course today was almost an opposite to that. There was a lot of loud music, light, people and food all around the fields.
It's been 3 days since the little, incident. And Pinkie was back to her usual cheery self again. After all this party was in her honour for her return. I was standing just to the side of the stage listen to the brilliance that Vinyl and Octavia could make together. Don't get me wrong, Both of there music is amazing. But like most magic out there, its power is stronger when it's together. And Vinyl Scratch and Octavia were no different.
As Vinyl was messing about with all the holograms she produced to create the beats and syntheses. Octavia was making a chilled atomsphere with beautiful melodies from her cello.
Over by the food stands I saw Mr and Mrs Cake fully prepared to serve food whenever someone asked for it, providing Pound and Pumpkin don't get to the food first. They had already chewed but nearly half of their back up food in case they ran out, funny how such young little creatures can have the same appetite as Pinkie. But the food did look amazing. Donuts, eclairs, pies and a 5 tiered chocolate cake. What was not to love.
Everything was going so well and was planned amazingly that even to two royal Princesses arrived.
"How is everything going Twilight." Said Princess Celestia with a rather happy smile on her face.
"I feel great, never better as of fact." She probably would have replied if she didn't see the cake at food stand. Celestia was the most kind person ever besides Fluttershy, but only if cake isn't around. It's the one thing that no could stop her from doing anything, if cake was involved, she'd do it. Of course they have been a few incidents when it went a bit too far but, we are who we are and no one can stop use.
Princess Luna simply face palmed herself and sighed. "Well, can't say I wasn't expecting that. By the way Twilight, I heard about an incident thou had with a certain 'Mask'." She glared at me for a few seconds unimpressed. "Yes Princess, we did." I got out my bag showed Luna the mask that had been causing all the trouble. She sighed again, only this time in repetitiveness. "Yes, I know of this mask. It was one created by Discord himself."
I couldn't helped but feel a little bit surprised at what I heard. "I think we should find a place to sit and discuss it there."
"I agree." Said Luna. She didn't smile, I think the only time I ever saw her smile was during Nightmare Night, her first ever night of fun. We found a small table over by a set of bushes and sat down. Then we starting talking. "Thou see Twilight. Discord may have been the king of chaos, but even he had limits. Not as in morals or standards. As in power. His favourite form of chaos was mortal chaos, arguments, wars, politics, the lot. But some people out there even he could not control. And so he created these masks, ones so that it would destroy the person from the inside out until it became a follower of him." She paused for a few seconds and started talking again. "I'm assuming all of the murders that have happened recently have all ending up okay. Shall I say 'Alive' again." She looked up to the stage. Octavia was the first victim and yet she was standing up there on the stage playing her best solo piece as if nothing happened.
"Yes Princess. When Pinkie took the mask off she smashed it, then some strange vortex was swirling around it. Then she smashed it again and all of a sudden they all came to life."
Luna must have known what the problem was, if it was a problem. "That easy to explain Twilight. Have you ever broke any of you magical equipment or even your staff?" I just simply nodded in happiness. I'm too organised to be able to break something. "I see. Well it's something that happens to any form of magical equipment. Once it's destroyed it rebuilds itself and reverse and for of death it has caused itself. Because the mask killed people it brought them back to life after being destroyed."
Everything did make sense now. Luna must have seen that I understood and walked of. I could see her running to Celestia, looked as if she was hoarding all the cake again so Luna must be trying to stop her. I looked around for a bit. I could see Applejack dancing with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy sort of hiding herself in a corner trying not to be noticed. Then I saw Pinkie Pie. I usual, she was jumping up and down and performing, once again another impossible for a physics.
I then noticed Spike standing next to me. I didn't how long he had been there for, but it wasn't important.
"Spike, take a letter."
"With Pleasure."
I cleared my throat the starting my letter. "Dear Princess Celestia." Before I could say anything else Spkie interrupted me.
"Uuhhh Twilight, the Princess is over there." He pointed over to the food stand where I could see Luna trying to get Celestia away from the cake. And the I overheard for the first time ever, Celestia speaking the royal Canterlot voice.
"THIS IS MY CAKE! AND I'M GANA EAT IT!"
I just simply shaked my head and spoke again "I don't think she want to hear it at the moment to best to write it."
"Okay." Said Spike getting ready to write.
Dear Princess Celesta
Curiosity might be important sometimes. But only if it's with the right thing. One thing that Pinkie couldn't seen to understand. Some things in this are better left unknown. I remember some wise words from a shaman I know. 'Curiosity kills the cat, and turns the most sweetest of people into rats'.
