It was a warm day in canterlot, it was the end of a school day. Sunny Flower was walking home. She was popular, smart, pretty, and kind. Everyone found her attractive, her green hair was always in a side-braid, she always wore a yellow belly shirt with her khaki school coat, and she also had inner beauty. Her cutie mark was a sunflower. Even though she was single she had a lot of friends. It wasn't normal for her to walk home alone, but she wanted to.

As she was walking she came across a book. It was brown with bright orange letters reading 'PonyPasta' and had a symbol on it. "What's this?" She asked. She slipped the book in her backpack and continued walking. "Can this be a prank?" she thought. "What even is a ponypasta?" She kept walking until she reached the convenient store.  She walked in and bought a soda. After that she walked home.

She unlocked the door and walked inside of her house. Her mom or dad wasn't home, this was usual. She sat down on the couch turned on the TV and watched 'Celebrity Gossip Tonight'  Her favorite TV show. She can't watch Celebrity gossip tonight with her little sister, Sunny Shine around. Sunny Shine gets home at 5:00 P.M. when her Mom picks her up from after school daycare. Her Dad gets home at 6:00 P.M. before dinner.

She started to get more curious about the book. She turned the TV off and walked to her room with the book. She sat down at her desk and opened the book. The first page read:

"How can that be?" Sunny asked.

All of a sudden a black and white figure appeared behind Sunny. She slowly approached her. Sunny looked back and before she could scream It covered her mouth. "I am Zecora." It said. "Only you can see me, You have the mark."

"What mark?" Sunny asked in a fearful voice.

"look at your arm." Zecora said.

Sunny removed her jacket and looked at her arm. The symbol from the book replaced her cutie mark. "Wha-?"

"This is your new destiny." Zecora interrupted.

"Do I have a choice?" Sunny asked.

"Yes, you do, But It wouldn't be right of you to quit, Sunny Flower." Zecora replied.

"How do you know my name?" Sunny asked fearfully.

"I know everyone's name." Zecora said. "Your sister's name is Sunny Shine, Your Mom's name is Bright Star , and your Dad's name is Gold Star."

"What's the cost?" Sunny asked while shaking in fear.

"Your life, destiny, and family." Zecora said. "Let me explain, after you've defeated them all you're years will be decreased by 50%,

your family's remaining years will be taken and added to yours, then your friend's years will be added to yours, and I will take all of your years and I will rule the world. Keep in mind if you don't accept this, your sister will have too."

Sunny thought about it. She didn't want her sister to face this horrible fate. "I'll take it." She said.

"Good girl." Zecora said. "Turn the page." Zecora vanished into the air.

Sunny turned the page, It read:

She did as the book told her. She heard a knock at the door... Sunny Jumped at the sound of the knock, She looked at the door fearfully. "Who is it?" She asked.

"It's Sunny Shine!" Her little sister yelled.

"Oh." She opened the door and hugged her mom and little sister.

"How was school?" Her mom asked.

"Good." She said. "How about little Shine?"

"It was good big sis!!!!" She yelled.

"Nice." Sunny said. "Do you wanna draw me a pretty picture?"

"Yes!!!!" Shine yelled and ran to her room.

Sunny walked to her room in relief. "How are you gonna find Pinkamena?" Zecora asked.

"What is the point of defeating a dead person?" Sunny asked.

"She's not dead, Her soul still roams the earth until summoned. She will continue to kill until you defeat her." Zecora said.

"How do you defeat a ponypasta?" Sunny asked.

"Read page 209." Zecora answered. She vanished into thin air. Sunny followed her instructions. The page read:

Sunny turned the page and it read:

She ripped the page out, grabbed a match, and walked outside. She hid behind the house. She struck the match and lit the page on fire. The fire burned until it went dim. All of a sudden a pink goo came out of the ground it grew and grew until it reached it's full form. It was necked but had the figure of a pony, It stood on 2 hoofs and had hands. Sunny gasped in fear.
