Pinkie Pie stared at Rainbow Dashes lifeless corpse for hours on end. Her eyes seem to stare right into Pinkies very soul. Pinkie Pie began to cry hysterically. “W-WHY DO I-I HAVE TO BE THE M-MONSTER?!” Tears flowed down her blood stained hace, creating a flood of blood and tears. After crying for hours, Pinkie had a horrible migraine. She trudged over to her bathroom. She looked in the mirror. Her mane was covered in blood. Her hooves were cut from her knife. Big, black circles grouped under her eyes. She reached into her cabinet to grab her aspirin. “All I want…” she said under her breath. “Is for everyone to be happy...” She fell asleep, leaving Rainbows dead body in her room, staring into her hurt heart.

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, and everypony was in a delightful mood. All that is…except for Pinkie Pie. She mopped around Ponyville, trying to look a little bit cheerful. “Pinkie Pie!” Twilight Sparkle said. “You look horrible! What’s wrong?” “Nothing that you would understand, Twilight.” Pinkie said. “I’m just tired.” “Okay, Pinkie. I wanted to ask you if you wanted to come look for Rainbow Dash with me and Applejack. I havent seen her all day.” Pinkie said: “She’s probably in the clouds, flying. I gotta go home and get some rest. “”Bye, Pinkie! I hope you feel better!” Twilight called after her. As Pinkie stopped in front of Sugar Cube Corner, she sighed. “I wish I could tell them, but I know that I can’t.” She walked into her secret cellar. She drawed a number from the drawing. “Looks like Amethyst Star is up next. But I’ll do that tomorrow.” So Pinkie took some pills, trudged over to her bed, and fell asleep.

“Welcome, Amethyst! I’ve been waiting for you ALLLLL DAY!” Pinkie chirped, trying to be as cheerful as possible. “It’s such a pleasant treat to be invited here, Pinkie!” Amethyst said. “So, what fun things do you having planned for us today?” Pinkie gave Amethyst a cupcake. “I want you to taste test this!” So Amethyst ate the rainbow-colored cupcake. “Okay, now what?” “Now,” Pinkie said. “You take a nap!” Ametyst began to feel very wozy, and soon fell to the ground, out cold. Pinkie dragged her into the cellar, clipped her onto the iron holder, cut her horn off, and patiently waited until she got up. Amethyst got up, finding that her horn was gone. “Pinkie! What are you doing?!” Amethyst yelled. Pinkie was not in the mood for talking, so she just began her work without saying anything. She slowly cut off Amethyst’s two cutie marks. She had always thought that her cutie marks were pretty. They were three Amethysts, each one with a blue color.

She couldn’t hear Amethyst's screaming. She had bought earplugs from the dollar store earlier this morning. After she had her cutie marks, she nailed her onto the iron board, making her hooves stained in blood. “Boy, Amethyst has a lot of blood in her body.” Pinkie thought. She flipped a switch. Amethyst whole body was devoured in sparks from being electrocuted. Pinkie unclipped her, and placed the blood stained nails on the stove. She cut open her stomach, making a slab of gooey flesh fall off of Amethysts body. Pinkie carefully placed Amethysts liver, kidneys, heart, and stomach into a bucket. Amethyst finally closed her eyes, the last thing she seeing be Pinkie take her heart out of her body.

“You have done well Pinkie…” “I know, I know. It’s the same thing everyday.” Pinkie said to the voice. “But I have a question for you.” “Yes, my child?” “Why do you make me murder ponies?! don’t like it.” “That information is classified. my dear. If you won’t cooperate, you can join your helpless victims.” Pinkie shuddered. The cold, spine-chilling voice scared her sometimes. “Why did you choose me?” Pinkie said. “That is also classified, my dear Pinkie.” Pinkie Pie sighed. “I need to get some fresh air. I’ll be outside.” Pinkie walked outside. She sniffed the sweet smell of desserts from Sugar Cube Corner. She talked with a few ponies, and got some supplies from the dollar store and the hardware store. “Why me?...” Pinkie Pie asked that question a lot to herself. She walked home. It was about six ‘o'clock, which was usually the time she pulled a number every week. She pulled a number out of the drawing. Pinkie widened her eyes. Her hair deflated with a loud FIZZZZ. “Oh No.” she said. “Oh No No No No No” Pinkie started to cry. “I don’t want to do this! Please, let me take another number out of the drawing!” “I’m afraid we can’t do that, Pinkamena.” She shook. She HATED to be called Pinkamena. “I can’t! I can’t do this! Please!” Pinkie started to cry very loudly. “Oh Twilight, PLEASE, PLEASE forgive me. Please…”

Afterwards, Pinkie called in Twilight. She did the whole “taste-test the cupcake” thing. She took her by the wing, and dragged her into the cellar. She clipped her into the iron board. She waited until Twilight got up. Twilight got up surprisingly early. “Pinkie Pie! What is going on?” Pinkie started to tear up, but stopped. “You don’t understand.” Pinkie finally said. “I can’t explain it.” Twilight looked frightened. She looked at Pinkie Pie very oddly. “What?!” Pinkie yelled. “Why are you staring at me?!” Twilight saw a blood-red spirit inside of Pinkie, devouring her. “Pinkie… something is very wrong. You aren’t you right now.” Pinkie suddenly blurt out: “I killed Rainbow Dash.”

“B-but… w-why? Why Pinkie?!” Twilight yelled. “You can put an end to this madness. Pinkie, we care about you. We know you can!” Pinkie Pie couldn’t stand it anymore. She picked up her knife and walked toward Twilight. Twilight felt hot tears streaming down her cheeks. Pinkie plunged the knife toward Twilights cutie mark. Suddenly, she stopped. She let the knife drop out of her hoof and fall onto the rusty floor. “I CAN’T!!!” Pinkie sobbed. She dropped down onto the floor in a ball. “You’re such a big baby.” the voice said. “I can’t hurt you,Twilight!” Pinkie sobbed. She looked up at her with big, red eyes. “When I hurt my friends, it doesn’t hurt just them!” She looked down in shame. “It hurts me, too.” “Pinkie…” Twilight said. Pinkie looked up at her. Twilight wrapped her wings around her. “I know this isn’t your fault. We can figure out a way to stop this.” Twilight looked into the hurt eyes of Pinkie Pie. “I promise.” Pinkie hugged her, glad to know that she has someone who understands her. Suddenly, Pinkie dropped onto the ground, howling with pain. “Pinkie Pie!” Twilight screamed in alarm.

Pinkie was lifted into the air. A red cloud was over taking her body. Twilight was so afraid that Pinkie was going to get hurt, that she thrust out her horn, and shot out a beam at the monster that was over taking Pinkie. The monster died down, lowering Pinkie from the air. Twilight broke free of the iron clips, sending pieces of metal everywhere. A white glow came out of Pinkie mouth. The glow escaped through a window leading to the outside. Pinkie woke up. She looked up at Twilight, and smiled. “I was worried… that I was… going to… die…” Twilight hugged her very tightly. “I’m glad you’re alright.” she said. They had made their way outside, only to find Rarity and Applejack waiting for them.

“Dahlings! What in Equestria happened to you?” Pinkie and Twilights hair was a mess. Their coats were covered in grime. “We were lookin’ all over for yall” Applejack said. “Nevermind that.” Twilight said. “We’ve got to find that spirit!” Rarity and Applejack looked at her like she was crazy. “I’ll explain it to you later.” Twilight said. Suddenly, the spirit hovered over the Town Square. It transformed itself into a hideous beast, who had blood covering its body. The creature

cackled with evil laughter. Twilight gasped. “It… It can’t be so!” She looked ready to faint. The creature laughed even more and looked Twilight in the eye. “It’s so.”

“The Demon of Violence!, Crackle!” Twilight said. “Oh goody. Someone who actually REMEMBERS ME.” the demon hissed. “What are you doing here?!” Twilight yelled. “What did you do to Pinkie Pie?!” The demon stroked Pinkie under the chin. “Pinkie was always my favorite pony. She just needed a touch of VIOLENCE to her.” Pinkie stared at the beast. “You… you were the voice in my head!” Pinkie was enraged. “Yes. I’m sure everyone who you killed knew that.” All of the bystanding ponies gasped. “That is RIGHT, Ponyville.” Crackle announced. “All of the ponies who went missing are DEAD!” He pointed toward Pinkie Pie. “All thanks to PINKIE PIE!” Applejack rushed in front of her. “No, look here! This ain’t her fault! YOU’RE the one who took control of her!!!” she yelled.

“Settle down, now. Yes, my dear Applejack, that is true. I needed a body to disguise myself, and I choose her to murder.” He bent down to Applebloom's level. “I’m sure your friend Twist wouldn’t be surprised to hear that. Applebloom was in shock for one minute, and then started to cry. “T-Twist is… d-dead?” she stuttered. Applejack rushed to Applebloom's side to console her. “If you all like…” The demon put on a pair of glasses and opened up a book. “... I can tell you the history of how I came to be.”

“About a thousand years ago, I was a spirit that was a result of a failed potion made in the Everfree Forest. After I escaped from the shack I was built in, I came across Ponyville. It was a bustling little town. Ponies rushing down the street. Ponies selling goods to customers. Ponies playing games with friends. In other words, the town was very happy. I felt the need to pay the ponies who lived there a visit. So I lashed out at the ponies, trying to get their attention. I killed them by mistake. The other ponies went crazy. I tried to get everyones attention, but I ending up killing everyone in Ponyville. I had never seen so much blood in my life. Ponies were squashed, stabbed by railings, or torn apart. Unfortunately, those party-poopers Celestia and Luna rained on my parade and used the Elements of Harmony on me. They trapped me in a tree in the middle of the Everfree Forest. I was doomed to stay there for my entire life.

One night, there was a terrible storm. The wind was howling, the rain was whipping at my bark, and my leaves went flying of my branches. Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck my tree, thus breaking it. My spirit happily emerged from the tree. I was very angry at Celestia and Luna for putting me into an old, dead tree, so I wanted to get my revenge. So I toke over poor Pinkie Pies body a few days after you defeated Nightmare Moon. My plan was to kill Celestia inside of Pinkies body. Now my plan is completely trashed, thanks to you, Twilight Sparkle.”

Cackle looked at all of the scared faces of Ponyville. “I WILL be back to get my revenge.” Cackle hissed at Twilight. “If its the last thing I do.” With those words, he flew off into the Everfree Forest. “Um… Twilight?” Twilight spun around. Fluttershys face was as white as snow. “Can I sleep in your library for a little while?...” “Of course you can, Fluttershy. You can leave the animals in the back.” Ponyville was still in such shock, that no one said a word. But out of all of those scared faces, Pinkies was the most scared.

She suddenly started to cry. Puddles of tears surrounded her. The mane six (Not including Rainbow Dash.) hugged Pinkie Pie very tight. “Look here, Sugarcube. It ain’t your fault that ponies of this here town have gone… uh…. missin’. We are here for you and we will stop this monster. Twilight Sparkle stood up and said: “All of Ponyville! As one of your loyal princesses, I will make sure that this demon will be vanquished!” Ponyville burst out with a roar of cheering and applauding. “Girls.” The mane six looked toward Twilight. “We’re taking a trip to Canterlot.”

“Twilight Sparkle!” Princess Celestia cried. “Its so good to see you again.” She looked toward t the Mane six. “I see you have brought your friends with you.” Celestia looked closely at Twilights friends. “Where is Rainbow Dash?” she asked. “She is usually with you when you visit.” So Twilight explained the whole story to her. Celestia looked toward Pinkie when Twilight was done talking. She placed her hoof under Pinkies quivering chin. “Pinkie Pie, I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I knew one day, that Cackle would escape. We will put an end to this. You are most certainly not in any form of trouble.” Then she smiled. “When me and Luna powered Cackle down, all of the ponies that he killed were brought back to life.” Pinkie suddenly smiled. Her hair poofed up with a big FIZZZZZ. “So that means that Rainbow Dash will come back to life???” Celestia nodded. “YIPPEE!!!!!” She pounced into the air, happy to be finally looking forward to something. “You will have to power down Cackle though, which is not an easy task. “We understand.” Twilight said. “But we have to find him first.”

Twilight and her friends walked into the Everfree forest, much to the dismay of Fluttershy. “Cackle could be hiding anywhere, girls. So keep a sharp eye.” Twilight said. “Girls…” Twilight had stopped right in the middle of the road. She pointed to a dark cave up ahead. “I think we reached our destination.” “That was unbelievably quick, Twilight.” Rarity looked impressed. “We still have to face Cackle, so be carefull.”

So the girls walked toward the cave with great caution. Fluttershy was shaking so much, that Rarity had to hold on to her. When they walked inside the cave, they heard a deep hiss. “It’s so good to see you again, TWILIGHT SPARKLE.” Cackles face appeared out of nowhere, making the girls jump. “I see you have come back to retrieve the lost souls.” he moved himself to reveal see-through ponies chained to the wall of the cave, unable to move. “Dashie!” Pinkie rushed over to Rainbow Dash. “Pinkie…” she said. “I’m so sorry. This horrible monster made you come here. He made me kill you. I’m so sorry.” Rainbow Dash put her wing around Pinkie. “I’ll always forgive you, Pinkie.” she said. “Thats enough for now, Pinkie.” Cackle hissed, disgusted by the bond between the two ponies. He suddenly lashed out at Fluttershy, wounding her badly. “Fluttershy!” Twilight rushed to her side, as so the other ponies did. Pinkie got up with steam pouring out of her ears. “No one… hurts… FLUTTERSHY!!!” Pinkie rushed toward Cackle, and started to punch him in the face with her hoof. She tackled him and twisted him and beat him down. The other ponies were speechless when they were looking at Pinkie.

When Pinkie was done beating up Cackle, she was covered in his blood. She was breathing very hard and was looking down at Cackle. He was trembling in the corner of the cave. “No-No one has ever done that to me before…” he muttered. Pinkie walked toward Fluttershy. “Is your hoof alright?’’ Fluttershy nodded. “T-thank you Pinkie.” she said. Pinkie wrapped a white bandage around her hoof and hugged her. “I will let NO ONE hurt MY friends.” she said.

Twilight nodded. Pinkie approached the still-shaking beast. “ All this time, I thought the voice in my head controlled over my life and was very scary. But look at you. You are pathetic. You are weak. You murder for fun.” Pinkie was starting to glow hot pink. She now had sparks all around her. “YAAAAAAA!” She shot a laser at the monster. “NOOOOOOO!” Cackle cried. Seconds later he blew up, sending bits of him all around. Pinkie shot a beam at his spirit. She trapped him inside of a tree of the coast of the cliff. Pinkie was breathing very hard now. “THAT WAS AMAZING!!!!” Twilight rushed over to her. “I never saw such magic in my entire life! And you’re an Earth pony!” The souls of the cave became ponies again. “DASHIE!” Pinkie hugged her friend. “I saw what you did, Pinkie. That was very brave.” Rainbow Dash said. The mane six all had a group hug. “HOORAY! PINKIE SAVED US!!!” all of the ponies cried.

“Lets go back to Canterlot, girls.” Twilight said. Suddenly, a beam shot over them. Next thing they knew, they were in the castle of Canterlot. “I am so proud of all you girls.” She walked over to Pinkie Pie. “Especially you, Pinkie.” She looked her in the eye. “Pinkie, you have a special power in you that other Earth ponies don’t have. When you feel very strongly about someone, you feel the need to protect them. When you protected your friends, you used that protection power in you.” She stood up. “Now, it’s time for a change.” The other ponies looked in awe as Pinkie was raised into the air. Beams of light shot all around her. She was then lowered down. The other ponies gasped. Pinkie had a horn! “Pinkie! You have a horn!” Twilight cried. “Pinkie has the qualities of a unicorn.” Celestia said. “She was born an Earth pony instead.” The mane six gathered around Pinkie, exclaiming about how cool her horn was. Pinkie looked up on the wall. There was a new stained glass window showing Pinkie battling Cackle. “Thanks, all of you for being here for me.” Pinkie said. “I will not let evil overtake me again!”

It was such a happy day in Ponyville. The sun was shining, the birds were singing. Every pony was happy. But the most happiest pony of them all was Pinkie. She bounced around town, talking to other ponies, and singing happily. It was a year later after the Cackle incident. Pinkie was still one of Twilights students, but she was one of her best ones. Pinkie thought that being a unicorn was great. One reason is that it could help her put up party decorations more easily. Another is that she could easily make sweets with her handy-dandy horn. Another reason is that… well, you get the idea. But even though she’s unicorn… “I will always be Ponyville’s party ponie!” Pinkie giggled.
