CHAPTER THREE: PINKIE PIE

Everypony attended the funeral of the ponies that died in the Gala incident. They read all the names associated with the Gala that died, even Derpy. Twilight noticed a tear running down Rainbow's face when they called Derpy's name. She tried to comfort her, which helped a little bit. After the ceremony, they all went home and tried to get some sleep, but a certain pony couldn't get some shut eye.

'Why me, why did I have the vision, why did only my friends survive and not the others?' Twilight thought as she was trying to go to sleep. She finally drifted off when she started seeing weird images. She saw a rolling pin, an oven, and a chair falling. She woke with a fright. She checked the clock.

'7:00 a.m.? might as well get up' Twilight thought leaving the sleeping Spike to his dreams. When she walked down stairs she noticed a note sticking half way under the door. She picked it up and read it. It said:

'YOU CAN'T CHEAT DEATH FOREVER'

There was no signature so she didn't know who wrote it.

"What is that?" asked the sleepy Spike in between yawns.

"Oh, nothing. Probably some pranksters," Twilight implied. She then showed him the note.

"'You can't cheat death forever?' What is that supposed to mean?" Spike asked. Twilight shrugged.

At Sugarcube Corner:

Pinkie woke with a smile on her face, already forgetting about the tragedy. She decided to make cupcakes to cheer up her friends when the memory of the other day came back to her. She walked down to the kitchen and started to gather the items she needs to make some cupcakes.

"That should do it," she said inspecting her cupcake mix. She put all the ingredients back and slammed the cupboards. The shelf above the cupboard shook and a rolling pin fell on the floor in front of the oven.

"Huh? Oh that was probably nothing," Pinkie shrugged off what she heard and started to make her way toward the stove when she stepped on the rolling pin. She threw the bowl backwards and fell in the oven. While the bowl went flying, some spilled on the . This caused the temperature to rise dramatically. The bowl then hit a chair causing it to fall and block the oven door. Pinkie Pie was trapped.

"Anypony out there? I need some help!" Pinkie tried to scream, but Mr. and Mrs. Cake were out of town on business. The temperature rose to maximum heat. Pinkie noticed her mane was on fire and her skin was melting to the metal.

"HELP ME!" Pinkie screamed at the top of her lungs. Somepony outside the shop heard her and rushed inside as quick as he could. But it was too late. Pinkie Pie was burned to death.

Later:

Twilight and Spike showed up to the scene as the medics were carrying a body bag out on a stretcher. They both saw everyone else on the other side of the street. She ran over to Applejack.

"What HAPPENED!" Twilight asked.

"Pinkie Pie is dead. She got locked in the oven and she burned to death," Applejack explained as she took off her hat in respect. Twilight had tears forming in her eyes and hugged Applejack. Spike then went to Rarity to try to comfort her. Everyone else was looking at the seen mortified at what happened. They had lost another friend.
