Lyrics

Spike awoke to the taste ammonium phosphate in his mouth and a flash-light in his face.

"Fascinating how a dragon's pupil reacts to light" a voice muttered. Spike blinked to clear his eyes and brain before snatching the flash-light away with his tongue.

"Who's there?" Spike groaned, feeling a headache pounding through him. Out of the shadows emerged Twilight, no, a cruel mockery of Twilight. "WHO ARE YOU!?" Spike screamed in fear as he saw the knife in the not-Twilight's hooves. The not-Twilight let out a chilling laugh before slapping him across the face.

"Good morning, Mister Spike

I'd like to take a little of your time

I have marvelous news

Stay there and show no dislike"

The mockery of his sister sang, causing Spike's heart to sink. Whatever this creature was, it was completely crazy. Who else sung out of nowhere? Actually a lot of ponies sang, Spike mused briefly before cruel creature continued.

"Any one will do, any one will do, let's study

Harmonious ones, harmonious ones, let's study"

The flawed copy of Twilight laughed as it pulled open a diorama. Spike vomited up his lunch and breakfast when he saw the subject matter, a flayed Rainbow leaping on top of Pinkie and tearing out her throat. The plaque beneath the diorama read "It came to me in a dream".

"I apologize for not mentioning earlier

I am Twilight

You'll have to die

So I can complete my work quicker"

The unicorn said, pulling out a peeler with a demented grin. At that moment, Spike realized this was no fake, this was some, perversion of Twilight. Twilight brought the peeler down on his hand with a scream which mirrored his own.

"Any one will do, any one will do, let's study

You'll do, you'll do, let's study"

Twilight sang as she began slicing through scales to soft tissue. If she cared, she might have heard Spike screaming but she simply slashed through more skin until she practically chopped off Spike's hand. Twilight looked at the peeler with interest at its results. Well, that was unexpected.

"I don't want you to think you're a bore

But this is just killing time for me

Till' harmony, harmony, harmony, rules once more

Twilight laughed while pulling out a shot of adrenaline. While it wouldn't help Spike keep alive, it would keep him awake for the next part of the test. Before administering it though, the ghouls mumbled something in her ear about making sure the needle was appreciated. Before Twilight could capitalize on the idea, a voice screamed in her ear. "GET ON WITH IT!" it roared, causing Twilight to go into her next verse rather abruptly.

"All the discordant in the world

I'll kill every last one

Gazing with pride

As they go to the Underworld"

Twilight sang a bit less confidently, shaken by the voice she had heard. It sounded almost like Rainbow Dash, but that was impossible, wasn't it? A flash of pink out of the corner of Twilight's eye made Twilight shiver involuntarily as she hurried along, now anxious to get this over with.

"Anyone will do, anyone will do, let's study

I can't wait, I can't wait, let's study"

Twilight smirked as she cut open Spike's stomach. Well, how interesting. It seemed there were two stomachs, one to hold food and the other to make fire. Twilight plucked out the fire-stomach and tossed it in a pan before looking at Spike. The entire time, Spike hadn't cried one bit. A fact which irritated Twilight. Why wasn't he in pain?! Had she given him some drug to numb him?! Spike simply looked at her with disappointment and sadness, before extending his throat for her to slice. How dare he patronize her?! She didn't deserve pity, she deserved adulation! Had anyone been looking from an objective viewpoint, they might have seen that Spike was actually crying in pain. Twilight's shattered mind though, comprehended the cries as mockery towards her.

"Behold the power of my magic

Such a planet as this has no reason to be"

Twilight snarled before blasting Spike with a torture spell(Twilight mentally thanked Trixie for that one). Yet somehow, Spike still looked at her with sadness for her. Then he laughed. A bone-chilling laugh that made Twilight's sound cute by comparison. Twilight frothed at the mouth as he continued mocking her. Spike was confused as to why Twilight had just gotten furious instead of being happy like before. Maybe his crying had annoyed her? He doubted it but if it had, he would keep on crying.

"How about I clear this up

I'm the master, you're a student

So don't get the wrong idea

I'm not here for a gallop"

Twilight snarled before slitting Spike's throat. Still, he kept laughing. He laughed even as the lights left his eyes. Twilight imagined Spike's laughter but the fear she felt was real. For once, she wasn't in control, a fact which terrified her.

"You'll see when harmony, harmony rules again!"

Twilight snarled to nothing in particular as Spike had long since died. Twilight looked around and saw blood dripping from the ceiling, fire blasting out of the Bunsen Burner, and small cupcakes appearing on the table. Twilight rubbed her eyes, gasping in fear and staggering over a chair at this sight. When she opened them again, she saw nothing. The ghosts laughed mockingly as Twilight left the room with her tail between her legs.
