> The Night War > by Haillee > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The War > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "No I won't let you out, never again!" Yelled a young Pinkie Pie. She was surrounded in darkness, which appeared as smoke closing in on her. Tears ran down her face. "Oh, but you will, it is only the matter of time before I win." Came a high-pitched voice from across the room. The pitch block room only had a small light surrounding the pink mare. Only an outline of a dark figure could be seen. The darkness closed in getting closer and closer to Pinkie. "No never, I won't let you out! I will do everything to stop you!" Cried Pinkie again. The darkness came had reached her hooves. It slowly made its way up the body of the mare. Pinkie began to cry, just wishing it would all be over. "You will set me free, you are almost gone my dear Pinkie" Said the figure as the darkness made its way around Pinkies neck. Pinkie coughed from the smoky air that now filled her lungs. She tried to inhale yet all that came in was darkness, she collapses to the ground, trying to catch even the slightest bit of oxygen. Yet there was none to be found, her eyes closed as the figure gave off a laugh that made her skin crawl. She woke with a scream, tears and sweat stained her pillows and sheets from yet another battle. She slowly made her way from her bad and walked over to a table across the room. She lite a lantern, being in the dark right now seems discomforting. It was still dark outside, Celestia hasn't risen the sun yet. She grabs a roll of parchment paper and a quill and sat at her table. On the other end of the table slept a small alligator. She was careful not to wake her pet as she wrote. Dear Princess Luna The creature is only getting closer, I am running out of ways to hold her. If all else fails, do not hesitate to hold your end of the deal. Yours Truly Pinkie Pie She finished the letter and rolled up the parchment. She made her way from sugar cube corner quietly in the dark of the night. She walked for the castle in the center of the town. She learned over the last few months that if she is quiet, she can twist the dragons tail in his sleep and be able to send a letter to the princess of dreams. She didn't even need to wake the dragon, which was good because she didn't want anypony else know about the monster that lived within her. They couldn't do anything anyways. They could only watch as a monster grew stronger. Luna however could, she could come into her dreams and help hold back the monster. She sent off the letter and made her way out of the castle back to her home. Later that day, Pinkie was dancing to a joyful song. She had been working hard to make her friends believe that she was okay. That meant parties must be thrown. And when Twilight came to her afterward she couldn't refuse a sleep over with her friends, must be a normal Pinkie Pie. That night they sat down in front of Twilight's new television to watch a new movie, "Adventures of Lil Pecan." Pinkie fell asleep mid-way through. "Poor sugar cube, she works herself to death on those parties." Said Applejack, as he covered up the sleeping mare in a blue blanket. But inside the mare’s mind yet another battle continued. This time however a dark blue alicorn stood beside the mare, shooting rays of blue light left and right at the darkness. But the rays did no good they only seemed to be devoured by the darkness. "Dear Pinkie, why must you bring in another mare? Can you no longer have defined yourself." The dark figure spoke, it was closer this time, and you could clearly see a mile yet no face put to it. "However, much I enjoy your friend's attempt to save you, this is a battle between me and you." As the creature said this Luna let out a scream, as she disappeared from the dream, only having darkness take her place. "No...no I won't let you." Mumbled Pinkie as she tossed and turned beneath the blanket. "Sugar cube, you ok?" Asked a worried Applejack as she reach over to tap Pinkie on the shoulder. But the second the orange mare touched her, Pinkie let out a high-pitched scream as she was levitated into the air. This made all the other 5 mares and small dragon in the room cover their ears and watch in horror as their fun party friend was surrounded in a large circle of darkness. And just as quickly as it all started it stopped. Only their friend was nowhere to be seen, well nothing was to be seen. All the lights went out and the ponies were left in pitch darkness. When the static on the television lite the room, all the mare focused their eyes on the small set. A high pitch voice came from it, alot like their missing friend, yet higher and much more sinister tone. I am freeee. Hehehehehehe. Even the laugh made their skin crawl. The television shut off once more, leaving the room in darkness once again. It was nearly a few seconds but the silence made it fell like hours had past. When a large crash came about, Rarity and Twilight both lite their horns and pointed them at the television, just in time to see a pink hoof come out of it. They all screamed as they saw their friend come out of the television. It looked like Pinkie but it wasn't, her hair was straight and a wide sinsister smile was on her face. And the worst of it all was the eyes which spoke for themselves. The only thing on her mind was... kill.... > Twilight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight was unsure what happened. Pinkie had fallen asleep during the movie night. Strange as that was, Twilight didn't think much of it. She had thought that the all-day going party pony had just grown too tired from her daily events. But right then when it all went crazy, the lights going crazy the and when Twilight lite her horn to find Pinkie gone, Twilight knew this wouldn't end well at all. She feared for her friends and for her faithful companion Spike. Her screams as Pinkie emerged from the TV were deafening. Pinkie stood right in front of her now, and all the other mares had screamed and ran. All but Rainbowdash who flew overhead watching Pinkie as she tried to think of what to do. Pinkie opened her mouth and grew closer to the Twilights faces, the new sharp pointed teeth had not been there before, inches within her face. She began to cry and beg for help. Spike pulled on Pinkie's tail to try and get her away from the only mother figure he has had in his life. This gave Twilight the chance to run, she ran toward Spike and with the glow of her horn spike was levitated onto her back. Spike hung on for dear life, and Rainbowdash flew overhead looking back at the pink mare that was once so innocent. Pinkie ran behind them growing ever so closer to the dark purple tail of Twilight. Spike feared what would happen to his friend, and tears rolled down his eyes as he hugged Twilight for the final time. "I love you mommy." Spiked whispered as he let go and jumped off Twilights back, throwing himself at the pink mare behind them. Twilight stop and spun with a scream. She turned back Pinkie and screamed in horror as she could do nothing but watch as her best of friends lay on the floor, giving his final screams. "Twilight" Spike yelled over the pain, "Do stop, RUN!!!" Pinkie took the leg of this tiny dragon and pulled it off, from the leg blood poured everywhere and Spike screamed in the immense amount of pain. Rainbow Dash landed next Twilight, pushing her to the exit, Twilight unable to move frozen in the spot. Millions of things ran through her head. Tears streamed her face as she watched her best friend being torn apart piece by piece. She never knew he saw her that way, he gave himself to help her. "TWILIGHT WE NEED TO GO!!!!!" Yelled Rainbowdash, as tears broke for the loss of one of her friends. Twilight snapped back into reality, and rose a hoof. But instead of running toward the exit she ran back into the castle heading for the library. She went to find any spell that would change back Pinkie and bring back her dear friend, her only thing that she could resemble as a child. He called her mommy. That was what he said, I love you mommy It rang through her head repeatedly. She never knew he thought about her like that. She never imagined herself as a mother, not even when spike was young and she cared for him. She just thought of herself as a babysitter, and him as a assistant. Never as a son. Twilight ran as hard as her legs could take her. Rainbow Dash however didn't follow instead she flew out the exit and dash toward town. Yelling for any help that would come. The loud echo of the Pegasus stretched down the halls of the castle. Twilight heart raced as she approached the library, she heard the loud high pitched laughter galloping from behind her. Twilight turned to look and saw the pink mare that was once her friend covered in blood chasing her. "Twilight don't you want to play." Sad the pink mare, as she chased Twilight. Twilight ran and turn corner after corner until the library doors were within her sight. Her horn glowed as the door opened slightly and she squeezed past. She then closed it behind her hearing the pink mare run into the door with a loud THUD. "Twilight open up I want to play." Twilights horn shined bright as she looks franticly for any spell to help her. She heard a bashing against the door and heard the wood of the door splinter with every hit. She looked even more quickly. Hopelessly crying over every page that turned. After about a minute a final crash of the door took place. Twilight rose her head to see the door off its hinges on the floor. The pink mare nowhere in sight. Twilight looked around trying to find her until she heard a horrifying laughter coming from above her. Pinkie was on the ceiling her head spun around looking at Twilight. Twilight screamed for the final time as the mare jumped from the ceiling onto Twilight. Leaving Twilight in total darkness, extreme pain went through her, she wanted to let out a scream. But before she could she was silenced. > Rarity > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rarity ran as fast as her legs could took her. She was heading for the boutique. Her heart raced with her legs, leaving her mind to catch up. Finally, her brain catches up with her legs. You’re a silly unicorn, this is probably Rainbowdash and Pinkies new form of a prank. Scaring everypony I should go back there right now and tell them off, if I wasn't halfway home already I probably would. She thought as she slowed down a bit letting her mind at ease at what she just watched. She decided to go home all the same and meet with those two in the morning and talk to them. As she walked through town she soon heard a faint yell coming from behind her. "HELP ANYPONY HELP!!!!" Rarity looked behind her to find Rainbowdash taking up speed in the air behind her. As she flew overhead Rarity thought now better than ever. "RAINBOW DASH! I demand you explain yourself, I thought you put this immature pranking behind you. We talked about this, some ponies do not find it amusing. And what on earth are you doing." Rainbowdash of course had stop when her name was called. She then spotted Rarity and landed next to her grabbing her by the hoof and dragging her to her boutique. Rarity attempt to put up a fight, still getting angrier every second she didn't get the explanation. She finally gave in and followed the Pegasus when she noticed Rainbowdash the bravest and toughest of her friends was drowning herself in tears. Her red eyes filled to the brim and more ran down the side of her face. This was no prank and Rarity had to find out what just happened to leave this strong Pegasus in tears. Rainbow lead Rarity to the small boutique on the riverside, slamming the door shut behind them and locking in. She then got the heaviest objects from around the house and blocked off the door. Then begun to board up the windows. Rarity the whole time trying to get her attention. Rainbow hammered in the last board on the downstairs window and begun to head upstairs. "RAINBOW DASH" yelled Rarity finally using her magic to hold the Pegasus back from the stairs. "Explain now! what happened?" Barked Rarity at the blue Pegasus. Rainbow turn and faced Rarity eyes once again full of tears, her mouth finally opened. "Pinkie, no that's not Pinkie not anymore tha-that thing it killed..." She paused and looked away tears once more streaming down as if she wished it not to be true. "Killed? Killed what, who Rainbowdash answer me what did she kill?" Rarity asked near tears herself. "SPIKE" Rainbow said before letting out a large cry, "She killed Spike. Tore him apart. And Twilight, I don't know she lost it. I left her, how could I have left her. What kinds of pony does that to someone in need? I just left her, some loyal friend I am. I am a freak." She cried. She rambled on about how she should have stayed but Rarity had zoned out. Not Spike, no her dear little friend. She had so much to tell him. She knew that he had this crush on her. But she was foolish wanted to play hard to get. To see how much, he truly wanted her. In time when he was older she gladly would have taken him, wanted to see if it would last. And Twilight, oh Celestia. Twilight had been a close friend to her. She really brought the whole group tighter, she left them too. What if she had stayed, could she have saved them? [/i} The two friend’s thoughts were interrupted when the sound of shattering glass came from upstairs along with a loud pitched scream. "SWEETIE BELL" Cried Rarity as she heads toward the stairs. Rainbow Dash followed behind her. Before either of them made it up the first step a small white unicorn tumbled down the stairs crying. "Rarity, Pinkie Pie is in my room." Cried Sweetie Bell. The two friends glanced at each other in horror and went straight for the exit. They began to pull away the wooden slabs on the windows, while Rarity tried to move the objects by the door. Sweetie Bell hide between her sister’s hooves when they heard a familiar laughter from the stairs. Rarity and Sweetie bell turned to find a pink mare stained in a coat of blood. Sweetie noticed a familiar ball of white fur, hanging from the pony's mouth, only now the once white pure coat was now dripping its own blood. "Opal," Cried Rarity as the corpse of the beloved white cat hit the floor. Rarity saw Pinkie's sharp new teeth and begun to cry once more. Rainbow Dash never stopped to look and continued at the windows. Pinkie Pie let out a high-pitched scream so high all the lights shattered through the boutique. Rarity's horn glowed as she felt a tug on her leg. Sweetie Bell screamed, Rarity pointed the light of her horn to the unicorn that was holding on for dear life to her big sister’s leg. Rarity looked further back to find the pink mare had bitten into the filly’s leg. Her sharp teeth like daggers in the skin having blood come flowing out of the filly. Rarity kicked as hard as she could, knocking the mare to the floor. Rarity looked at her sister's wound and saw straight to the bone and even that took a good deal of damage. Sweetie Bell cried and whelped in the pain. Finally, Rainbow Dash got the last board off the window and shattered it. Rarity looked at the Pegasus and levitated the injured filly onto Rainbow Dash's back. "I am right behind you get her to the hospital. You can fly faster than I can run." Explained the unicorn that now began to climb out the window. "ARGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Rarity as the pink mare bit into her leg attempting to pull her back inside. ''RARITY" cried Sweetie Bell. "NO GET HER TO A HOSPITAL!!!! PLEASE RAINBOW" begged the unicorn. Rainbowdash cried nonstop as she nodded and flew off with the little filly on her back. Rarity struggled and tried to pull herself out the shattered window, away from this monster she once called her friend. A long sharp piece of glass sticking from the window ceil cut deep into the white skin of the unicorn as she struggled. Rarity screamed again waking her neighbors and letting go of the window by mistake. The pink mare seized this chance and drug the helpless victim into the darkness of the boutique. The screams slowly died. "Hehehehehehehe." Giggled the once joyful party pony. "Time to visit our cousin huh Pinkie?" Said this crazy mare. Inside her mind however was a trapped crying pink mare. Unable to do anything to fight this monster. She only was stuck to watch all her closet friends perish at her own hooves. > Applejack > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- AT Rarity's Pinkie began her trip to the farm, knowing the short cut and being the fastest pony in town she was worried and hopped happily along. Applejack had grown rather scared as she ran home. She thought at first that it may have been a prank but then remembered that the last time Pinkie was like that, it took a party for her to whack out of it. She thought over what she had at the farm, left over balloons from Applebloom's cutecenria. She could blow those up and have Mac run and make a cake. Though this time Pinkie seemed extra weird, seemed more sinister. Ok maybe a priest can help with the party spike the punch with holy water. Applejack withheld a giggle from her joke. She arrived home and walked in. "Applebloom, Big Mac, Granny, I know it is late but I need hel-" Applejack froze at the sight of this scene. Blood covered the halls from one end of the house to another. She began to cry as she walked toward her family's bedroom. She passed and the kitchen and looked in to see blood on the walls. She crept in there to find the stove turned on. It is just Applebloom making cranberry pie, she left the stove on, everyone is fine. Hoped Applejack as she opened the stove. She dropped the oven mitt and let out a scream to find her darling Maona being baked at full blast. She ran out and headed toward her sister’s room. she cried out for her little sister to come out. And wanted to break down and cry to see blood pouring from the room. She began to open the door with a slight squeak and screamed once again. Applebloom's body laying on the bed, the most horrifying part is that her head was not with it. Applejack against her own mind looked around the room, she had to see her, finally she noticed the small head of her little sister on the shelf above the wardrobe. Applejack tripped and fell over on the blood that used to be her little sister. Tears rolled down her face non stop and begged for this to just be a dream. Applejack now stained with the blood of her sister scrambled to stand up and slipped out of the door. She attempted to run to the stallions room down the hall, stumbling over every puddle. "BIG MAC! BIG MAC!" She screamed trying to remain standing. She burst into his room to find his torso on the bd. She screamed once again at this to see the legs were not attached, instead they were positioned in front of the door standing facing the horrified pony that will open the door. The young farm pony cried begging for this to end. Granny The last person in that house, maybe she would be spared. She ran down to the old pony's bedroom as she cried begging for this to be over. She was half relieved o see granny wasn't in her room. But that relief soon ended to see her grandmother in the chair. She ran behind her glad to see she still had a head and legs. She shock the chair screaming. "G-granny we got to get out of here. I will explain later, not here come on we got to get help." Cried Applejack shaking the chair as hard as she could. THUD With that she looked back at her grandmother, her head, it was gone! Applejack looked down confused and scared. As a lit sound approached her. Thud thud thud thud. Something rolled toward her from under the chair. The head of an old green mare approached and Applejack so shocked at all her loses couldn't scream anymore. She let out silent tears as she collapsed to the bloody grounded beneath her. She cried for a good five to ten minutes before she grow more of her courage. "SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!!!!!" Yelled the angry mare. She looked around for any movement but none came. "Hello Cousiaaaan." Came the familiar voice of the beloved friend. But Pinkie was unseen. She looked down the hall again trying to spot the bright pink mare, but no such figure came. The sinister laugh of this creature emerged from above. Applejack jerked her head upward to see a wave of pink hair and a sharp dagger enter her back. She screamed as the monster twisted the knife cutting the spinal cord. She dropped to the ground in pain and watched the pink mare. "I know t is hard for you my sweetness but you see the only way you will learn is for them to die." The pink mare spoke to herself. "Yes I know it is a harsh task, but they will be dead soon. You will see. Then you and me can play forever. What, you wish to speak to this pathetic thing you called a friend? Hmmmm, fine but I still have control of the body." The pink mare screamed as something appeared in the blue eyes of help bloodstained face. "Applejack," The mare spoke, this was not the monster this was her friend, this was Pinkie Pie she remembered. Applejack tried to look up and move her head but was unable. "Applejack I am so sorry I can't stop her. She won't stop I can't get back control. I am so sorry, please don't hate me, I never wanted this." Pinkie spoke. "She is killing everyone. I don't know how to warn anypony and, oh no she is coming AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" The screams grew higher in pitch until the glass of all the windows shattered around them. "Tut tut Pinkie, very informational aren't you. Doesn't matter I suppose, how will you tell anyone. You are dead." The pink mare bashed against the orange head crushing it beneath her hooves. "Tata AJ, I have to go see Dashie." > Rainbow Dash > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Back in ponyville, the last screams of an over dramatic unicorn woke a small orange Pegasus. She had once been dreaming of the sweetness of flying buy her hero but now she was wide awake. Just in time to see her hero fly past her window with her dear friend on with a small white unicorn on her back. Scootaloo jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, grabbing her scooter as she ran out the door. She started speeding in the direction she saw the two ponies go until she approached ponyville hospital. There she saw her hero in the window talking to a doctor. Scootaloo hesitated before heading in. What could be wrong with Rainbow now? She made her way in and ran over to a bed where her friend layed fighting at the doctors as they tried to give her a shot. "Sweetie Bell? What's going on?" Cried Scootaloo as she stood by her friend. Sweetie Bell took the opportunity to grab the orange filly and pull her close all the while bleeding constantly from her leg wound. "R-r-Rarity my s-si-sister." She cried as the doctors pulled her off Scootaloo. Rainbowdash ran past with some guards as they took flight. They were heading for Rarity's house. Scootaloo looked back at Sweetie Bell to see her being sedated. She would get nothing from her right now, only Rainbow Dash could answer her. She grabbed her scooter once again and took off after her idol. The crowd of ponies began to swarm as she drew closer to Rarity's home, she tried to get in close as she saw Rainbow Dash began to take off again. She looked back at Rarity's before she spun around with a gasp. She saw it, the body. The blood the horror of the night’s event. She had to get Rainbow now more than ever. She pushed further trying to catch up to the zooming Pegasus. She zoomed down the street to a giant castle in the town. The door was open, so she just proceeded into the home of the small-town Princess. She froze to see a mutilated corpse of small green and purple dragon. She nearly screamed but nothing came out. She cried as she ran to search for Rainbow Dash, she needed her right now. The only pony that would hold her. She ran down the halls past a few guards who turned to see her zoom past her scooter still at the front door. The guards began to chase after the filly trying to call out to stop her. Scootaloo didn't hear them she just ran for the blue pegasus that she held so close to her heart. She ran straight not even noticing her in the crowd of guards surrounding the library. She ran in as she heard the raspy voice of her hero cry out. "NO SCOOTALOO!" Too late, Scootaloo ran right into the horror of Twilights corpse. Blood spread everywhere. She stood and stared for a moment before the voice she had been searching for all night finally came out. She screamed as loud as she could. She pushed and kicked as a blue hoof pulled her away from the scene. Rainbow Dash Pulled Scootaloo's head toward her chest and pressed her lips against the soft mane of her friend. Tears rolled down both their faces. "Don't look Scootaloo. Don't look." Rainbow Dash cried as she began to walk the filly away from the library. The guards ran in to help carry the two weeping friends away from the scene. Rainbow never let go of the orange pegasus filly, as she answered several questions coming from the guards. Scootaloo had zoned out only focusing on the soft coat of the mare that held her. Rainbow Dash flew Scootaloo back toward Ponyville hospital so she could rest with her friend. She would then go and see how Applejack was doing. Once they arrived at the hospital however Rainbow began to feel the weight form the day on her wings. She sat back and layed with her friend who she truly knew as a sister. She fell asleep in the room with Sweetie and Scootaloo. She woke up to a loud high-pitched scream. ‘Oh No.’ She thought. ‘Not here please.’ The sounds of screaming doctors and nurses however confirmed what she thought. Scootaloo and Sweetie woke up too. Sweetie Bell let out a scream from the familiar screams she heard only a few hours ago. Rainbow Dash walked over to cover her mouth. They stayed silent for about two minutes listening to the dying screams of the doctors and nurses. Scootaloo absolutely terrified at what could send her hero and her friend into such panic. The door to the room finally open gentle letting light form the hall fill the dark room. There was no one there. Rainbow confused but scared pick up the still injured filly and placed her on her back. When from the silence came a soft sound of thuds making its way into the room. Rainbow looked expecting a pony but got much worse than that. In rolling was an apple covered in blood. Sweetie Bell screamed again and Scootaloo cried but was unsure what it fully meant. Rainbow Dash however knew exactly what it was and she just stood there. Frozen. She stared at the apple until Scootaloo screamed and pointed at the ceiling. Rainbow looked up to see pink crawling upside down her head appeared on backwards looking down at them, smiling. Rainbow pushed Scootaloo and darted out of the room behind her. In the hall was not any better. There were bodies and blood everywhere blocking the way to the front door. Rainbow looked the other way and saw a set of stairs that lead to the roof. Perfect. She can fly them down. As they tried to run for it though, Rainbow was pulled back extremely painful force in her wing. Making her scream and drop Sweetie Bell on the ground. The teeth of this monster were ripping her wing apart. Scootaloo turned and gave the beast a hard buck in it face. Shocking it and forcing it to the ground. Rainbow once again picked up Sweetie and gave a small screech as she put her back on her back. They ran to the roof and closed the door behind them. Rainbow held the door shut and looked at her wing. It was nearly off her body! She would never get them down now! She looked desperately for answers. The monster on the other side started pounding on the door. She took a good looked at Scootaloo. “Scoot grab Sweetie and fly now!” Scootaloo just stared shocked. “Rainbow I-I can’t fly. Applebloom was right I am a dodo.” “Don’t you dare kid! Look the only thing holding you back from flying is you! You have too much self-doubt in yourself and it is bringing you down! Now clear your head grab Sweetie and jump off this bloody roof or I will push you myself!” She said trying to be encouraging. Scootaloo close her eyes and picked up Sweetie Bell. Rainbow watched as the orange filly she loved look back at her for one last glance of reassurance. Then she leaped. She flapped her wings and closed her eyes ready for impact. But none came. Scootaloo looked back at her hero and smiled. “Excellent job buddy. I am so proud of you!” She said. But no sooner had those words left her mouth did the door collapse on top of her. Scootaloo looked at her hero being torn apart as she screamed. “FLY NOW SQUIRT!” She screamed. Scootaloo now in tears accepted her orders and headed off. She had never flown before but she knew which way she needed to go. Canterlot! > Fluttershy > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy being either the smartest, or most scared pony in the room fly home faster than one thought imaginable. She then boarded up every window and door and locked herself in her room. She hides under her bed with fifty various animals all around. She sat there crying chewing off her hoof nails. She was scared, she knew it was probably a joke Pinkie did. But none the less she hated it! She wanted to just cry the rest of the night. Her large bear friend now had the bed on his back because he tried to limb under it. She was so scared and so tired however to act upon this. She hoped that her friends would come over in the morning to calm her down. When she heard knocking on the door however she really didn’t want to answer it. “GO AWAY!” She yelled louder than expected. The knocking quickly went around all the windows of the house breaking each one only to find wooden slabs on them. Fluttershy began to cry even harder as Angel hid under her wing. “Fluttershy open up. I wanna play!” Came a voice from one of the windows. It sounded a lot like Pinkie Pie, but something was off. A loud scream came from outside scaring her and all her animals even more. Fluttershy wanted to help them not be afraid but she herself was too scared to move. “Fluttershy! Do not open anyway to let me or it in! It will kill you stay away. Be afraid and just remember, RUN!” Said a voice from outside, that sounded more like Pinkie. But she was giving a warning, this was no prank what is going on here? Fluttershy decided to obey her orders but as her friend let out another painful scream she wanted desperately to look and help her. Angel held her in place, trying to beg for her to stay. But Fluttershy just pulled him along with her. Whatever was going on with her friend, she was in pain. And she needed to help! She looked through the cracks on the window through the boards to see Pinkie covered in blood laying on the floor beginning to get up again. That sight alone made Fluttershy want to hide again. But she knew, whatever was going on her friend was not the one in control! And she needed help! But how? Pinkie began to stand up this time with the same crazy eyes Fluttershy feared. Yet despite her instincts of running away she stood up and began to sing. ]“When I was a little filly and the sun was going dooooown” [/i The beast in front of her paused at this and for a sheer second she heard it speak," The darkness and the shadows, they always made me froooown. SHUT UP!” The monster dove at the wood and began to rip it off. “No Pinkie don’t, I will let you in.” Said Fluttershy as she went toward the front door with a hammer. The monster confused but pleased followed along the outside of her house. Fluttershy took in a deep gulp hoping her plan would work. She readied a shovel out of sight and began to pull away the nails of wood. “Now Pinkie I will let you in but don’t you dare hurt my animals.” Fluttershy said trying her hardest to be brave. The creature outside nodded in agreement. “Pinkie Promise?” The creature looked up confused and ran through her thoughts. Ah yes. She moved through the motions. “Cross my Heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake through my eye.” She said, though the voice sounded evil Fluttershy took this chance, Now Pinkie If you are in there you have permission to come out if you feel she may break her promise. You would never let anypony break a Pinkie Promise.” Fluttershy spoke as she began working on the last board. The beast eyes changed as she saw her friend in them again. “Yes Fluttershy.” Fluttershy took the last nail out and the beast pounced in the door at the sight. But Fluttershy just stared at it. The beast paused at this movement. Unsure what was going on until the shovel hit her head. “I am so sorry Pinkie.” Fluttershy explained as she ran out the door and began to take the nails and boards and nailing them back up on the other side of the door. “Remember your promise Pinkie.” The beast tried to stand and run for the exit but was stopped by the boards that went up remarkably fast. It then turned and looked around the cabin at the animals that were scattering into cracks in the wall. The beast jumped at the slow little white bunny but was stopped mid jump. “You can’t break a Pinkie Promise!” Yelled Pinkie inside as she began to recontrol her body. It didn’t last long before the beast took back over and ran toward the windows using her hooves to dig into the wood. Fluttershy ran through town until she bumped into a tall mare. She stood up to find Princess Luna standing in front of her. Fluttershy so scared forgot her manners. “Luna! Pinkie is out of control she is covered in blood I trapped her in my cabin! But we have to hurry, I don’t know how long Pinkie can control Pinkie and I am making no sense, I am sorry.” “You make plenty of sense dear.” She said as a small orange filly peered from behind the princess’s legs. Fluttershy didn’t pay them much attention. “pinkie is trapped in there, but she listens she can hear us. She seemed to come out a bit when I sung her, her scared song.” Luna aware of this song, decided that would have to work. With the elements, down she needed to use the only thing she could to help Pinkie now. “Yes, that may be the only chance for her now.” Luna said as began to walk toward Fluttershy’s cabin. “Wait, what?” The beast inside decided that she was trap. She could dig into the wood. She decided to take time to listen to Pinkie. “What now little one? Most your friends are dead. Honestly I thought Fluttershy would be the easy one.” “Fluttershy will stop you! She will!” Pinkie yelled at the darkness in her mind. “Even if she tries. If I see any chance of losing this I have a plan for that. She wouldn’t kill her friend would she?” “No. Wait What are you-” The sound of wood being removed made the monster snap back into reality. It sprung at the door and listened as somepony removed each piece. “Pinkie you still in there?” Fluttershy asked through the closed door. The beast smiled and stayed silent until each plank was removed. “Yours not coming out until you tell me that my animals are ok.” The fear of being tapped in there made the beast speak up. “YES” It shouted. The last plank was removed and the beast rammed through the door and ran straight into a blue barrier surrounding the house. It looked around for the cause to find Fluttershy and Princess Luna on the other side. Fluttershy moved toward the beast and smiled. “Hello Pinkie.” She said softly, her smile was sweet innocent. It had to go away. Pinkie ran back in and grabbed Angel from trying to hide in the chimney. Fluttershy gasped. “Pinkie you promised me. None will be hurt.” “I’m not Pinkie” It said smiling as it ripped the legs off the crying little rabbit. Fluttershy screamed at the sight and cried laying on the ground. Luna walked beside her as she tried to focus her magic on pull all other animals from her home. Luna placed a hoof on Fluttershy’s shoulder. “Fluttershy I am so sorry. But you must continue!” Fluttershy stood and grabbed all her courage as she began to finish the song. ]“I’d hide under my pillow, from what I thought I saw. But Granny Pie says Pinkies that’s no way to deal with fears at all.” The beast screamed and began to bang against the force field locking her in. She ran into the house and came back out holding a knife. Fluttershy looked terrified at the blood-soaked pony holding a knife. Her dear little angel bunny lying dead beside it. “She said Pinkie you have to stand up tall. Learn to face your fears. You’ll see they can’t hurt just laugh to make them disappear.” Pinkie began to try and laugh. The beast let out a few of her laughs unable to control them. It was working! Hurry Fluttershy finish the song. Just then a sharp pain went through Pinkies body. It felt hot and wet. Fluttershy watched in horror as the monster stabbed itself! Right in the chest. “Go ahead Fluttershy, finish the song. I am the only thing keeping your FRIEND alive!” It shouted over the field. Fluttershy looked back at Luna feeling defeated. “Fluttershy.” Pinkie said. The beast had lost control from her body, that was Pinkie! “Finish the song! She won’t stop!” Pinkie begged as the look of crazy went back into her eyes. “Shut Up!” It shouted. Fluttershy however obeyed. ]“So, giggle at the ghostie. Guffaw at the grossie. Crack up at the creepy. Whoop it up with the weepy. Chortle at the gooky. Snortle at the spooky.” “NO! Stop you kill her. You kill me Fluttershy!” The monster yelled but all the sudden she felt Pinkie come out. To sing along with the ponies who were now yelling the lyrics at this point. “AND TELL THAT BIG DUMB SCARY FACE TO TAKE A HIKE AND LEAVE YOU ALONE AND IF HE THINKS HE CAN SCARE YOU THEN HE’S GOT ANOTHER THING COMING AND THE VERY IDEA OF SUCH A THING JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO” Pinkie let out a laugh like she had never had before. As the sound of the last words leave the ponies around her mouths she let out a scream. LAAAAAAAAUGHHHHH! The song ended and Pinkie fell to the ground. Luna released her field allowing Fluttershy to rush over to her friend. She held her friend. And looked at her bunny and just cried.
