"D-d-didn't you ever-- AAH! -- love somepony?"

Pinkamena's evil grin faded and she spoke softly. "What?"

"Y-you know? Weren't you ever in lo--"

"In love?" A tear fell from her eye as she took a step back.

"Y-yes..."

Pinkamena fell to her knees. "May..."

"M-May?" asked Star.

Pinkamena looked at the knife as tears fell from her eyes. "What have I done?"

"You can still ch-change Pinkie!" said Star. "J-just let us go!"

She looked up at Star with tear-filled eyes. "Who am I?"

"Y-you're Pinkie."

"NO, I'M NOT!" she cried. "I'M PINKAMENA!!" She then stood up.

"Oh, NO!" yelled Star in fright.

She stabbed him in the other leg. Tears falling from her eyes. "I DON'T NEED ANYPONY!!!"

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!" screamed Star in pain.

"No! Stop it, Pinkie!" yelled Thunder.

Pinkamena cut the remaining straps and threw Star to the floor. She then knelt down on top of him, holding the knife above his face. Star closed his eyes tightly.

"NO!" yelled Thunder. "STOP!*

"WHY SHOULDN'T I KILL HIM?!"

"BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!"

"I LOVE YOU, TOO!" yelled Star.

He attempted to punch Pinkamena but she dodged it and stabbed him in the shoulder again, driving it deeper. Star yelled in despair.

"NO!" pleaded Thunder. "PLEASE, STOP IT! DON'T HURT HIM!"

"Know something?" asked Pinkamena. She punched Star hard in the face and then stood up. *I'm starting to get sick of you."

Thunder gulped as Pinkamena began moving towards her. Star began to cough a little blood.

"I'm gonna enjoy killing you, girl." said Pinkamena with a scowl.

"N-no..." croaked Star. "Please, don't."

Pinkamena stood in front of Thunder, who was shivering in fear. "I-I'm s-sorry."

"Nnnooo!" moaned Star,

Pinkamena pressed a hoof against Thunder's neck. "I'd hate to ruin such a nice toy... without playing with it first."

"W-wait." pleaded Thunder. "I'm sorry."

"N-no." said Star, watching. "What are you doing?"
