Spike and Deathshead were in Ponyville now. Deathshead had a look around at some of the things and saw the Sugarcube Corner. "The Sugarcube Corner? That sounds like a pony strip club," said Deathshead. Spike scoffed a little. He looked over at the Carousel Boutique. "Oh, I want to introduce you to someone real quickly," Spike said eagerly. "Ok," said Deathshead. The two walked up to the door and entered the facility. Rarity was working on the newest dress for her selection. "Welcome to the Carousel Boutique," she said. "Hi, Rarity," said Spike. "Hello, Spike. I say, who is your friend there," Rarity asked. "Rarity, this is Deathshead. He's come from a faraway city," Spike said. "Nice to meet you, ma'am," said Deathshead politely. "Oh my, what a gentleman," said Rarity.

Spike was gazing at her. Deathshead looked down at him and smirked. "I see why you brought me here. You have a crush on her, don't you," Deathshead said. Spike now had a surprise look on his face.

"What's wrong," asked Deathshead." Well, it's just that you were the first one to figure that out right away," Spike said. "Should I feel honored," Deathshead asked with a hint of sarcasm. "You could say that," said Spike. "Well, I must be getting back to work. Thanks for stopping in, my little spikey-wikey," Rarity said. Spike and Deathshead waved goodbye as they walked out. As the two were approaching Twilight's house, Deathshead stopped Spike. "I need to show you something, but I need to do it somewhere secret," Deathshead said. "Alright, follow me," said Spike. Spike led Deathshead into an alleyway. "Alright, show me what you got," Spike said. "Alright, here goes nothing," Deathshead said.

Deathshead bent down on his hoofs. Spike was eager to see what happened. Without hesitation, he pushed his front hoofs up. Spike couldn't believe it! Deathshead could stand up on two hoofs without falling over! "What do you think," asked Deathshead. Spike just stood there in awe. "Take it in. Take it in," said Deathshead. But Spike's face turned to horror when he saw Deathshead's cutie-mark. It was a picture of a noose with blood dripping from the bottom of the base. "Your…you cutie mark," said Spike, terrified.

"My what now," asked Deathshead with a confused look on his face. He looked at his leg. "Oh, that. Where I come from, that's called a symbol," he said.

"But why is it a bloody noose," asked Spike. Deathshead looked at him for a moment. "It's…best you don't know," he said. Spike agreed. "Well, we better get to my place," said Spike. "Alright," Deathshead said. He went back down on all 4 of his hoofs. When they got to the door, Spike knocked and said "Twilight, its Spike." The door opened. "Hey Spike. Did you finish delivering all the packages," asked Twilight.

"Yes, I did. Along the way, I met someone new," said Spike. "Hello. My name is Deathshead. Nice to meet you," Deathshead said. "Nice to meet you too," Twilight said, "Come on in." As everyone walked in, Deathshead leaned towards Spike and said,"You never mentioned you were related to a pony." "It's complicated," said Spike. Nightfall was upon the peaceful Ponyville. "Well, we better get to sleep. We need to get up early tomorrow to start working on the festival. Maybe you can help, Deathshead," said Twilight. "Sound like a grand idea," said Deathshead.

"Not only that, tonight's the full moon before the special moon," said Twilight. Deathshead's heart stopped for a moment. Did she say full moon, Deathshead thought. That's not good.

"Well, goodnight everyone," said Twilight. "Where will Deathshead sleep," asked Spike. "Wherever works," Deathshead said. Deathshead found a couch to crash on. "Goodnight, Deathshead," Spike said. "Goodnight, Spike," said Deathshead. Twilight shut of the light and the full moon shown in.

The light fell upon Deathshead. His eyes were wide open. "Oh no. There's no stopping me now," he said quietly. He walked outside with his axe. "The beast is unleashed," Deathshead said as he began to levitate.
