Apple Bloom stopped once she got inside the cemetery and looked around.

"Where's yours?" asked Apple Bloom, still holding the haunted teddy.

"How should I know?" asked Pinkamena's voice. "I didn't see them bury me."

Apple Bloom trotted quickly through the cemetery, looking at all the tombstones. She found some familiar names.

MAYOR

BUBBLES

GILDA

And then she stopped at one that she remembered all too well. She placed a hoof on it and hung her head.

Pinkamena dragged the body of a little filly into the basement and set her down in front of Apple Bloom. The filly had tape over her mouth.

"Who is it?" asked Apple Bloom.

"Vera." said Pinkamena. "You may know her.'

"Vera?" asked Apple Bloom. "We used to hang out all the time until she moved."

"Moved?" asked Pinkamena. "From the looks of things, I wouldn't say she moved."

"What?"

"It appears she lied to you so she didn't have to hang out with you anymore."

Vera tries to protest but nothing understandable comes out. Pinkamena holds out a knife in front of Apple Bloom.

"It's time?"

Pinkamena nodded and Apple Bloom stared into the frightened eyes of Vera.

"Try not to look into the eyes at first." said Pinkamena. "Wait until you're experienced like me."

Apple Bloom hesitantly takes the knife and Vera's eyes widen.

"I don't know if ah can." said Apple Bloom.

"She lied to you? How does that make you feel? You're only friend wanted to leave you. Doesn't that make you angry?"

"A bit."

"Now kill her." Pinkamena ordered.

Apple Bloom hesitantly raises the knife as Vera's eyes widen.

Apple Bloom then brought the knife down.

SLICE.

Apple Bloom stared at the tombstone, remembering what happened next.

Ponies were gathered around Vera's grave. Apple Bloom stood next to Vera's mom. After the funeral, Vera's mom approached Apple Bloom.

"I'm so sorry for your loss, ma'am." said Apple Bloom.

"Thank you, dear. She spoke of you often. You were her best friend."

"Then why'd she lie to me about moving?"

"Lie about moving?" asked the mom. "We were gonna move, but Vera kept protesting. She wanted to stay here with you."

"Oh, Vera." she cried.

She suddenly heard voices approaching.

"Get a move on," urged Pinkamena.

Apple Bloom looked around and spotted a hill nearby. Nothing was on it apart from one tombstone at the top.

"That must be it." said Apple Bloom.

She picked up the teddy bear and began running.

"Now, you promise to leave my sister alone, right?"

"You have my word." said Pinkamena.
Apple Bloom was nearing the hill.
