Austin looked at it and was psyched out of his mind. She was going to pour that all over his hooves. Good they are a bit stronger but it'll go straight to the bone. It'll be the worst possible thing, but he was determined to not let Pinkie win this battle. Even if he was to die. "Aw you brought me a nice pot of soup to help my injures? Aw that's so cute Pinkie Pie. You really think your going to get me to crack? Why now? I'm having too much fun." A grin was still on his face. He knew Pinkie never got this and was not used to being mocked and insulted during this. He knew he was getting to her by that look on her smug smiling face.

Pinkie reached his side, smiling. She moved her load to be carefully held in her hooves so she could speak. "Well I'm glad you are having fun Austin!" she giggled, a crazed look in her eyes "I'm having fun too! Quite a lot of fun actually." A wide grin was plastered on her face she held the pot up and carefully tipped it pouring the molten metal directly into the wound she had made in his hoof. The hot liquid immediately began to burn into the exposed flesh, a loud sizzle and even an occasional pop sounding from the contact, quickly leaving a rank smell of burning flesh and metal. Pinkie giggled at the sound, going over and doing the same to his other hoof, and grinning widely as she did so. "Oh wait..." she said looking at Austin "You wanted soup?" she asked taking the pot and holding it over his face "Open your mouth and I can give you some..."

Austin, was smiling but not on the inside. His burning flesh was searing into the bone now. He was letting tears out but kept smiling. "N-No thanks Pinkie Pie! If you poured that soup on me, we wouldn't have any more fun now would we? You wouldn't get to hear me scream and you'd lose all your ingredients! All my organs destroyed just like your brain cells!" He couldn't stand the pain any more so he bit his lip hard. But he kept his happy little grin on.

Pinkie had started to tilt the pot, about to pour the hot liquid onto him for opening his mouth, but she stopped as she heard what he had said. She blinked and quickly walked away putting the pot back where she had originally taken it from and reappearing shortly after. The wide grin on her face was bigger than ever before. "You know what!" she said coming back up to him. "I wouldn't be able to have fun with you if I had done that! Oh, and who wants to eat a cupcake with METAL in it?" she asked rhetorically opening her mouth, sticking her tongue out and pointing he hoof at it for emphasis.  "Yuck!" she then giggled again. "Oh but I still have had so much fun already! You are the best pony I ever brought down here!" she tilted the table back up only halfway, so he wasn't laying down anymore, but also wasn't completely upright. "Although." she grabbed another knife and examined it for a moment "I did have quite a bit of fun with Dashie..." she lashed out at the nearby taxidermished pony she just mentioned, slicing its head off. She laughed and ripped all of the stuffing out of the stuffed head, before placing it over her own like a mask. Doing her best to imitate Dash's voice she got directly up in Austin's face. "Ah, Austin, Pinkie did Sooooo many TERRIBLE things to me!" she mimicked with a pout "Why weren't you there to help me, Austin?"

Austin was still crying but he was laughing, "Oh man! That was a good one Pinkie Pie! You always make me laugh! What fun are we going to have now? I can’t wait to get started! I love making Cupcakes with you! Maybe we can keep this going for a lot more time!" He really didn't want to though. He was petrified. And wanted. to be put out of if right now. So he could be. with Rainbow, in total bliss but there was still more coming.

"Ok Austin." Pinkie said smiling underneath Rainbow's face. She got right up to him again, pushing her muzzle against his, the faded rainbow hair that covered her own brushing his forehead. "I will play with you some more.... then maybe I can just leave you here for a while, let you enjoy the wounds in peace, since you seem to enjoy it so much...I can wait to bake some cupcakes...." she retreated "But before that..." she said turning away and trotting off up the stairs the led back to the floor above. She was gone for a couple of minutes, but soon she came back down into the basement with a small present box being carried in her mouth.

Austin was smiling and he looked at the box. "Ooh! Did you get me a present?! I love presents!" He was smiling nervously, he didn't know what it really was. And his wounds ached, he could only move his mouth and only barely so that.

"Yes indeedy!" Pinkie said holding the small wrapped box up to his face. It was light blue and wrapped in a rainbow ribbon. "Oh but wait... I guess you can't open it all tied down..Here, let me get it for you." She said pulling the ribbon off and opening the box. "I brought this one just for you!" The pink pony pulled a piece of meat out of the box and smiling quickly jumped up and shoved it into Austin's mouth.

Austin had the slab in his mouth and unwillingly chewed and swallowed it. He. then smiled nervously. "Mmm! What was that Pinkie?" He wanted to puke again but he held it back. Ponies. don’t eat meat, it tasted TERRIBLE. What he wouldn't give for some hay to get rid of. the taste of meat and blood from his mouth.

Pinkie giggled at Austin. "That was Rainbow Dash!" she said grinning "She wasn't the best I had, but she was still pretty good, don't you think?" She giggled again and looked back into the box "There is a little more if you want it." she said shoving another smaller piece up to his face.

Austin was awe struck. He just ate Rainbow. She was inside. of him. Tears began streaming out. But he kept laughing an insane laugh. "Oh n-no!! I'm quite f-full!" He said with, a very shallow smirk. "Don't want the Cupcakes to be t-too meaty! Now uh what are you going to do to me?!" His fake smile was getting more and more false, but still believable.

The mare continued to smile taking the meat away from his face and eating it herself. She was still wearing Rainbow Dash's skinned face over he own, though by now the seams that had been holding her mouth into a closed smile had ripped open, leaving the lips slightly torn and gaped open, Pinkie white teeth showing through. Her blue eyes wide, but pupils shrunken in a maniacal stare. She grabbed and needle off of her tray and began to pull a liquid into it. She turned back to Austin and jammed the needle directly into his chest, squirting every last drop of liquid into his body. It wasn't certain what exactly she had put in him, or where she even got it, but whatever it was it was strong. The drug would make him delusional and possibly even hallucinate.

Austin groaned at the needle in him. The drug whatever it was instantly put him into a state of bliss and began bubbly laughter. When he saw a streak of Rainbow come to him. He had his wings and cutie mark back and he was wondering if he died and literally went to heaven. "D-Dashie?" He said to her. While in reality he was knocked out cold, tongue sticking out. Not seeing anything and could barely put out a real word.

Pinkie rippled with laughter as she watched Austin. "Awww.. Austie! You weren't supposed to fall asleep!" she said laughing. "Maybe I used too much..." The pink pony shrugged and giggled once more, bouncing over towards the other end of the room where a light switch controlled the little light that was already in the basement. She flicked it off, leaving the room in complete darkness though she didn't leave. She sat there for a while waiting for Austin to come back to.

Austin smiled widely "R-Rainbow, Pinkie Pie...... she’s killing me now." He said with a large frown.

Rainbow Dash gazed over at Austin in surprise, her eyes wide. "Austin..." she mumbled "I'm sorry... I wish I could have told you...." Her body had a whole pale brilliant glow around it, and he eyes shined brightly like a clear pool reflecting the stars. Wings spread she came over to him and touched her muzzle to his.

Austin let out a tear, "This is the most painful and frightening experience of. my life, she used. your carcass to be like you, made fun of you, said the things she did to you and she made me eat you....." he was actually crying. "I-Is this heaven?"

Rainbow looked heartbroken, but it was as if she was not able to cry. She gave a simple nod in response. "But you are not fully here..." she said looking sadly at him "You are still alive, Austin..."

Austin gasped "WHAT?! NO! I CANT TAKE ANYMORE.PAIN AND SUFFERING! I.NEED.TO.BE.WITH.YOU.!" Streams of tears were coming out, the only time Rainbow had ever seen him cry.

The Pegasus stared at him for a moment, a frown crossing her face. She walked up to him placing her head under his chin. "I know..." she mumbled "You will be soon..."

Austin hugged the Cyan Pegasus tight. "Well at least here we won’t have to worry about anything like this, how is heaven? Doing everything you've dreamed?" He.was.trying hard to lighten the mood.

For a couple of heartbeats, she was silent, almost as if she wasn't quite sure how to respond. "Yeah." she said pulling back a little to look at him. "But I was worried.... about how you were, and how you felt when I.... disappeared....."

Austin looked down "I was. worried sick, I got depressed without you and with all the things Pinkie did to you.....Well lets just say you'll be avenged. I swear." He said with a bit of a smile.

Dash sighed and shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry... I wish I could have at least told you somehow...." she blinked at him. "How do you intend to follow through with that?" she asked raising a brow at him.

Austin just smiled and began to disappear "You'll see" he woke up with a gasp but he couldn't see anything, its like he still had his eyes strapped shut. But he

Could still see two beady blue eyes staring at him. It was smiling hugely, waiting for his arrival to reality.

Pinkie blinked staring in the direction she knew Austin was, waiting for the pony to wake back up. As soon as she realized he had finally come to, she grinned and very slowly began to step back towards him. All that could really be heard where her slow hard hoofsteps as she drew closer, and her faint outline was visible with the aid of the tiny amount of dim light she had previously allowed to return to the room. "Good..." she said in a low, but happy sounding voice "You woke back up... I was starting to think you had died." she was drawing closer, but not very quickly.

Austin could now see somewhat well but realized he had to go back to being insane and talkative. He was going to get Pinkie no matter what. "Oh hey Pinkie! Ready for some more fun?"

"Of course!" Pinkie giggled as she continued her approach. "I was waiting for you so you could enjoy it.." the pink mare just continued to smile at him, finally reaching the medial tray that sat near him. She looked at it and picked up a small knife. "You know, its always such a nice thing to be able to have something to smile about..." She then walked up to him, a small grin still plastered over her face.

Austin just laughed a crazy laugh "Y'know Pinkie this is way more fun than your stupid parties we all hated!" He kept laughing and laughing at her.

Pinkie's eye twitched at the comment, her eyes wide, but pupils contracted to fine point, yet she was still smiling. "But this kind of is like a party, Austin..." she said coming up from behind him over his head. "But I love it when you are happy..." she said before placing the knife in her mouth and using her hooves to grab the corners of the broken pony's mouth, stretching it out into a bigger smile than he already had from his laughter. After another twitch she took the knife and dug it deep into the edges of his lips, creating a deep slice all the way up to the back of his cheeks, making it look like he had a huge, deep red grin.

Austin kept laughing and laughing "Oh owiches Pinkie! You like making smiles don't you? Why don't you make us actually smile for once instead of just making us laugh at you more than we already do? HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" He couldn't even feel the cuts from the drug and that torture device stuck in his mouth. The smile got a bit wider. with every laugh.

The earth pony's eyes grew wider, and she almost fell back from where she was above Austin. A tiny growling whine came from her mouth, her hair starting to ruffle up and straighten. She walked back around and glared at Austin. "S-shut up.."

Austin smiled a bit more "No, I like making fun of you! Everypony does! You really think we liked you?! Oh man that's a hoot! Why don't you just kill yourself now and spare you the trouble! Because we're not laughing with you we're laughing at you! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!" He was going to suffer but it would be totally worth it.

Pinkie's hair made an audible 'pop' as it went completely straight "SHUT UP!" the mare squealed at him, growling and gritting her teeth in rage. "JUST SHUT UP!" She picked the knife up off the floor, as she had dropped it when she had went into her rage. "I should have cut your STUPID TOUNGE OUT a LONG time ago!" She zipped right up on top to Austin in a flash, snarling at him, her eyes reduced to slits. She shoved the knife into the already slit open edge of his mouth. "How about you don't talk anymore? Ever!?"

Austin just kept laughing "Ok ok you got me! Your going to kill me now! Make me into cupcakes and feed me to everypony! But before you do, Don’t I get my last request?" He said smiling and chuckling a little. He had done it, he was finally going to see Rainbow and get away from this hellhole.

Pinkie blinked at him, slowly removing the knife. "Fine..." she pushed her muzzle up against his own once again. "Go on... What do you want to say?" Her eye twitched once more as she stared right into his eyes, waiting to hear what he had to say before she shut him up for good.

Austin just laughed and laughed "Ok! Ok! Tomorrow, at around 1:30pm go to the clearing in the Everfree Forrest! There will be a VERY important note I would like you to read!" He said laughing at her insanely.

Raising a brow at Austin, she smiled once again "Is that all?" she laughed slightly. "Okie Dokie Lokie! she them picked the knife back up and shoved it into his mouth, wiggling it around and cutting into his tongue sloppily, like she wasn't trying to be careful at all. After a moment she had completely cut through it, leaving the blood to pool in his mouth, she didn't even bother to remove the chopped flesh. Stepping back she smiled "There! Now you won't say anymore of those mean words!" she chirped smiling at him. "I think we are about done now, Austie..." she turned around examining all her different tools as she contemplated how she should finish him off. "It has actually been quite fun!" laughing she looked back at him "You were one of my besty-best friends, Austin, even if you did start to say all those nasty things." She stared at him with an almost loving look "But I will forgive you. We don't always say the best things, and we may not always mean what we do say!" she giggled "I am sure you were pretty shocked! Oh, but you seemed so happy to be with me! At first it made me happy! Not many ponies seem to enjoy it as much as I do. SO I kept you alive a lot longer than I usually would have." she gave him a wide grin "Yep, You would have been dead a looooooooooooong time ago if you had just been quiet!" She let out a high pitched laugh as she turned back and picking up the red band she had taken off of his foreleg before they had even started their fun. Coming back up to him she wrapped it around the middle of his face, covering his eyes with it like a blind fold. "I have one more surprise for you..." she said, though she knew the pony couldn't see her smirk. She quickly walked over and grabbed another tool from near the medical tray, a long rugged object with a strange formed end. She trotted back over to Austin, giving out a little eerie hum as she did, standing next to him as she continued to hum, and allow him to just listen to her for a moment. She took the tool and began to rake it across Austin's flesh, digging and peeling into it, slicing off slivers and chunks of flesh as if peeling a potato. She let it scrape across him in a few different areas for a moment, not sure how quickly it would take him to die from all the blood he had already lost, but she enjoyed the sweet sensation all the same. After a little more time of just picking at his skin she began to dig the tool into his chest, repeatedly slicing over and over into the same spot until it began to grind into his ribcage. Feeling this she glanced over for a split second before pounding the tool down into the crater she had formed, cracking the bones and piercing through.

Austin cried through the head band. His permanent smile was still on but he was smiling on the inside too. After she had Gave him the finishing blow. He was gone, he had survived 2 hours and 45 minutes. The longest Pinkie had ever taken with a victim. After what seemed like an eternity, he found himself woken up on a soft plushy cloud. His wings and cutie mark returned. Not a scratch on him actually. A large golden glow came from two large solid gold gates, as he flew. up to it, they slowly but surely opened causing a large blinding light to appear, he covered him eyes and the heavenly glow but he could see a shadow of a. Pegasus and as it was revealed who was there to meet him, it was none other than Rainbow Dash. Giving him a large. calm smile. "I'm here Dashie...."

Pinkie giggled as she knew Austin had finally died. Letting out a soft sigh she dropped the tool she had used to finish him off and smiled as she unfastened the bindings on his mutilated corpse. "Well, it sure was fun Austin!" she gazed down at the body hitting the floor as the last security holding him to the table was undone. "I did tell you would be with Rainbow soon..." Her hair poofed back out, and she returned to her normal happy, bright self as she took the body off to be dealt with.                                                       Rainbow Dash nodding at Austin and meeting him. "It’s over..." she said still smiling at him. "We won't ever have to worry about anything like that again."

Austin just flew up to Rainbow quickly and gave her a almost God like kiss as he let out a tear of joy. He just smiled. underneath her warmth and bright heavenly glow. "I'm here with you forever now Dash. No more of our friends but we're together. No more cupcakes.....no more Pinkie." He said still hugging her tight.

Dash just smiled at Austin, her eyes shining. "Oh, how I missed you..." she said laughing slightly rubbing her head on his neck, and nuzzling him. "You are right... we are together now." she looked back and blinked. "Come on, how about we go an just forget about all that stuff!" she said trying to shrug it off "You haven't even really got here yet!"

Austin held out his hoof and smiled "Shall we go in Dashie? I'm sure heaven is the.awesomest place ever!" He. had already forgot about the cupcakes. He was happy and where he was supposed to be.

The Pegasus nodded, beaming over at the one with her. She had been sad the same fate that had befallen her would have happened to Austin as well, and so quickly after her own death too. Though now that they were here together nothing else seemed to be wrong about anything. "Yes!" she said laughing "Come on, we have a lot of things to do!"

Austin nodded as she. grabbed his hoof and the two flew into the bright light and the pearly gates slowly shut.

-EPILOGUE-

Everypony was at Sugarcube Corner, enjoying some delicious chocolate cupcakes with orange frosting. "Mmm!" Twilight said mumbling, a crumb on her.cheek. "Pinkie these are delicious! Did you use your secret recipe.again?"

Pinkie bouncing up and down happily around her friends glowed proudly at the praise "Yup-a-doo!" she chirped at Twilight grinning widely "I'm super duper happy you are enjoying them! They took a little longer to make than usual! But the extra time was worth it, don't you think?" she said shutting her eyes happily as she continued to smile. "Oh! That reminds me! I need to go somewhere for a little while, I promised somepony I would." she said gazing over at the remaining cupcakes in the batch she had made. "You girls can finish those off if you would like, I can always make some more later." She turned her head back to the purple unicorn "See ya later Twilight!" The pink pony called before bouncing out of the door to the sweets shop.

Everypony said a quick goodbye and she was gone.

The clearing in the Everfree Forrest was a bit dark, but you could still see, the occasion hiss or another creature and on a stump waiting for Pinkie as she bounced in was a yellow envelope. Unmarked, unopened.

Bouncing up, seeming fairly unphased by the noises of the forest, the bright envelope caught the pink pony's eye. "Is this what I was supposed to find?" she asked out loud picking it up and examining it for a moment, she smiled as she broke the seal on it and pulling out what was inside.

On a blank sheet of copy paper, in unmistakably Austin's handwriting it only said two words. "GAME OVER." Just then out of nowhere four large bear traps came from up out of the dirt. All hitting the Pink pony's legs. Breaking them all and causing huge amounts of blood to squirt out.

The mare looked puzzled as she saw the words, but her eyes shot wide as suddenly her legs were caught in the traps. She let out a loud squeal as the teeth broke her bones and dug into her flesh. "Nonononoono! HELP! Somepony HELP!" she cried jiggling her messed up legs as best she could, but only succeeding in making the wounds rip deeper into her flesh.

Then as the paper. floated down in front of her the back had some more words. "HAVE FUN. REMEMBER TO SMILE." Just then from the bushes, emitted a large and hungry growl. You could here the few. sniffs from its large nose.

Tears began to stream down Pinkies face as she glanced from side to side at the noises. She was shaking and growing woozy from the shock, pain, and blood loss. She let out a disgruntled whine as her legs wanted to collapse under her but would not do so as the traps held her mostly up.

Just then from the bushes, showed a.large lion like.creature.that looked. strangely familiar. It was a manticore, like the one they had first encountered in the Same.place when they went to defeat Nightmare Moon

Pinkie saw the creature and began to panic even more, letting out another sharp wail. She was confused, how had Austin been able to do this? "OKAY!" she huffed breathing heavy, tears still falling dow her bright pink cheeks. "I get it! Good job Austin...."

The manticore grimaced at his new prey and licked his lips as he pawed the ground. Ready to charge, but gave his victim a chance for defense first.

The helpless mare gazed over at the manticore, her ears flat and her face overcast with fear and pain. She would have run if she could, but even if the traps had leg go of her, her legs would have still been rendered completely useless. Sobbing she tilted her head down and shut her eyes, waiting for the beast to come and finish her.

The manticore then sprung at his chance, as he got closer and closer, he opened his mighty jaws and....

THE END.
