Author's note: I own nothing but the plot.

Twilight's P.O.V

I am in the middle of looking at the beautiful night sky, and it is twelve. I like staying up late sometimes, to gaze at the stars, and the moon. The night is so peaceful and quiet, like the streets of Ponyville. There are some nights when some ponies go to nightclubs to party, right? Well, I am also getting used to my new treehouse that is a bit like a castle.

This night makes me forget about what has happened last week- the battle, the destruction of my old treehouse, and such. I still feel a bit sad that most of my books have been burnt to pieces. There are books that I have favored, and other books that I've always wanted to read, but haven't placed a hoof on them. Those books are now gone...

I'm not sure if Owlowiscious could find me- but he may come back someday. Spike is sleeping soundly- he's like a baby, right? I still remember the time when I tried to hatch the dragon egg with my magic.

To add more, Pinkie Pie is acting a bit strange lately, and Rainbow Dash has mysteriously disappeared. I mean, whenever a certain pony enters Sugarcube Corner, they never get out. Pinkie Pie wouldn't have been responsible for the others that have disappeared, because she'd never hurt somepony.

And then there's news about her cupcakes, from the reports of the cupcakes "tasting better than ever" and such about the cupcakes. I close the window with my magic, and then I walk upstairs to get in bed. I also have recurring dreams about "Pinkamena" holding a rainbow cupcake.

In that dream she would look a bit... You know, insane and scary. Her eyes would be dilated in a creepy sort of way, and her hair is really flat.

I slump into my bed, and then I drift off to sleep, with the expection of the same dream that recurs every night.

A faint scream comes from the basement of Sugarcube Corner. I walk down, and there are faint shadows- and I recognize them. The room begins to brighten a bit, and I notice Rainbow Dash laying dead on the table as Pinkamena cuts her into pieces with certain weapons.

I rush to Rainbow Dash's side, and I face Pinkamena. "How dare you interrupt, Twilight?" She asked.

"Why would you do this to Rainbow Dash?!" I demanded, wanting an answer.

"To turn her into cupcakes. I also turn the others into cupcakes- you'll never know when you're next..."

I wake up panting, and my heart is pounding my chest. Did that actually happen to Rainbow Dash? If Pinkie Pie is holding a dark secret, then she'll never get away with it! I wonder if my other friends notice Pinkie Pie's mysterious change in behavior.

I look out the window, hoping to forget about the dream. It is almost seven, but it's still a bit early. I wonder if the dream is based on actual events- I mean, it seems so real that I couldn't deny it.

I decide to talk with one of my friends about the dream- they could possibly have the same dream or a similar one. I walk out of my treehouse to visit Sweet Apple Acres. Apple Bloom and her friends are walking around, as if they're on another crusade. And then there's a few pegasi moving the clouds around- I doubt if they knew about Rainbow Dash's disappearance.

Apple Jack is pounding the trees with her back legs, and she notices me. "Hey there. How are you?" She asked.

"I'm okay, but the dreams about Pinkie Pie are bothering me. Did you have any dreams about her? Did you notice a change in her behavior?" I replied.

"I notice a bit about the difference in her behavior, and I have a dream about her killing somepony. I doubt that she'll ever kill somepony."

"Whatever. Let's go to Sugarcube Corner."

We walk to Sugarcube Corner, and Pinkie Pie is just eating a few cupcakes. She glances at us, and gives us a mysterious smile, as if she is hiding something. I swear that she is hiding something. "Hey girls. Wanna have some cupcakes?" She asked, "They taste like rainbows, if you ask me."

I mentally process what she is actually saying, besides those words. Sometimes a lie can hide a subtext well, so somepony doesn't know of the speaker's true thoughts or intentions.

"I'm just asking this, Pinkie. Did you do something to Rainbow Dash?" I asked.

"Of course. It's evident in the cupcakes, you know. Do you want cupcakes or not?!" Pinkie Pie said.

"We don't want cupcakes," Apple Jack and I said in unison.

"Alright then. Are you trying to be like detectives?"

"We're not detectives, but why did you do something to Rainbow Dash?" Apple Jack asked Pinkie Pie.

"Because I want to turn others into cupcakes, and I want to wear their skins," Pinkie Pie replied nonchalantly as she eats another cupcake.

I can notice Rainbow Dash's cutie mark on one of the cupcakes, and the cupcakes are rainbow colored.

"I couldn't believe that you have done this. I would surely report this to Princess Celestia," I said, "Without Rainbow Dash, there wouldn't be help when we try to stop evil using the Elements of Harmony. Are you a psychopath killer or something?!"

We walk out, not intending to fall for her lies. Fluttershy approaches us, and so does Rarity. "Pinkie Pie disturbs me in my dreams- she seems like a psychopath in the dreams," Fluttershy said.

"We should do something about this," Rarity said, "And did you know what happened to Rainbow Dash?"

"Yes. Pinkie... She turned Rainbow Dash into cupcakes," I replied, "Just like what happened in my dream last night. That could explain her disappearance."

"This is the worst possible thing!"

"Without Rainbow Dash, we wouldn't be able to... I don't know how to say it, the Element of Loyalty would become useless!"

Scootaloo passes by, and she seems to hear our conversation. She sighs as she sits down on the ground. "What's wrong, Scootaloo?" I asked.

"Something about Rainbow Dash. She's like an older sister to me- and then this happened," She replied.

"Are you referring to what you have just heard from our conversation? It's rude to be so nosy about conversations," Rarity said.

"Rarity, please go easy on her. She would go through a tough time... Possibly starting now," Apple Jack told Rarity.

"It is personal, Scootaloo. And why did you come here?" I said.

"I was looking for Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo said.

"Why aren't you crusading, like usual?"

"Because of some rumors about her disappearance."

"Scootaloo, do you have a guardian or someone like that? Is that why you aren't seen very much with your parents?"

"Um... My father got himself drunk after my mother's death, so my father used to abuse me. He then got arrested, and since then I had to be on the streets for a while. I live with Rainbow Dash, but now that she is gone... I would be alone again."

She walks off a second later, not speaking more about what may have happened to her.

"That poor thing. I couldn't imagine what it must be like for her," Fluttershy said, "But if I adopt her, then she would be a lot of work to take care of..."

"Maybe somepony we know would handle raising her," Apple Jack said.

As we continue talking, we end up in Canterlot somehow. We enter the castle, and Celestia is sitting upon the throne. "What brings you here, Twilight Sparkle?" She asked.

"Something about Pinkie Pie. She murdered Rainbow Dash and turned her into cupcakes, and then... About Scootaloo... She became homeless once again," I replied.

"Pinkie Pie shall come here tomorrow morning."

"But she's sort of on a murder rampage, apparently. I mean, she also wants to turn others into cupcakes."

"Then she must come tonight. Guards, find Pinkie Pie! She lives in Ponyville, at Sugarcube Corner!"

My friends and I walk out of the throne room, and within a second, we notice Pinkie Pie being brought into the castle.

Hope you like the first chapter. And poor Scoot's homeless again. Who should adopt her? Any reviews/comments appreciated!
