Pinkie Pie hummed happily to herself as she skipped along the path to the park where she was supposed to meet up with Rainbow Dash in just a few moments. She stopped and stared at the warm summer air, shimmering with heat and causing her to already sweat lightly. This only caused the peppy pink party pony to giggle. She loved summer. It was too bad that this would be the last one that she would ever get to experience.
Her giggling and prancing came to a stop as soon as she reached the park. She brought a hoof up to her forehead, making a dramatic lookout pose as she scanned the horizon, looking for any sign of Rainbow Dash among the crowd. All around her, fillies and colts were playing, though one pair in particular caught her attention. They were tossing a bright yellow frisbee back and forth between each other. Only, one of them had missed. And the frisbee was headed straight towards her.
“Oooh! I got it! I got it!” Pinkie jumped up, ready to catch the frisbee in her mouth, only to miss by just a few inches. “Aw darn it! Don’t worry, I’ll get it!” Pinkie waved down to her new friends, chasing after the frisbee, completely oblivious to the environment around her.
She continued to chase the yellow frisbee up the hill before she noticed something wrong; it was headed straight for a tree, and she wouldn’t be able to stop in time. Raising her forelegs as a defensive shield, she tried to block as much of the damage as she could as she crashed face first into the tree. She sat there for a few moments, head spinning before she looked up.
What she saw immediately caused her to giggle nervously. A large beehive rested just above her head. “Uh… Heh… Nice bees… That was an accident! Please don’t be angry…” Pinkie whimpered, still unable to get up from the head on collision she’d just suffered. It was obvious that she’d jostled the beehive, and there was only one thing in the world she couldn’t stand. Bees. For, unfortunately for the young mare, she was quite allergic to them.
She watched with fearful attentiveness for what felt like eternity, only to see a rainbow form sleeping in the tree idly kick out in its sleep, knocking the beehive loose and directly onto Pinkie’s head.
She only had seconds to scream in terror as a flood of angry bees surged forth. And she was their only target in sight. Her screams of absolute terror lasted less than a millisecond as bees stung her all over, some even finding their way into her mouth. Within second, she was dead, her entire body having swollen up like a balloon, and her throat having closed up, her eyes open in panic as she died trying to get one last gulp of air.
Ponies all around screamed at the sight before them. Meanwhile, high up in the tree, a rainbow pegasus sat, completely oblivious to what she’d just done.
