Pinkamena stood at the gate to Sweet Apple Acres, staring at the barn. Since Derpy seemed to be doing well, she was ready to spring her plan into action. As she looked around, she spotted a familiar yellow filly pushing a bucket of rotten apples to the pig's pen.

The pink mare smiled and put on a cheerful expression as she approached the filly. "Hey, there, Apple Bloom."

"Well, hey, there, Miss Pinkie Pie. What brings ya by?" the filly asked cheerfully.

"Is AJ around?"

"she in the south feeled, she wammed ta make shore we got all the apples for this harvest" applebloom said pointing

"Alright... When she gets back, could you let her know that I want to see her at Sugarcube Corner?"

"Sure, Miss Pinkie Pie..."

The pink mare nodded and left the farm.

Pinkamena stepped up to Fluttershy's front door and knocked.

Fluttershy opened the door. "Oh, hey, Pinkamena. Come on in," Shy called as she went back to the couch, pulling Twilight so she sat in her lap. The yellow mare then set her hooves on Twi's nethers.

"I see you two are getting to know each other."

"Yes, Twilight has... found a more personal understanding of what happened to me," Shy said as she started to rub Twilight's nethers, putting her back on edge for the twelfth time that day.

Pinks smiled. "Hot... Anyways, I'm here on business... regarding the capture of Applejack."

"Oh?"

"Do you have the cure for Poison Joke?"

"Oh, I do believe I have a few bottles of it in the kitchen..." Shy left the room, pulling Twilight along with her. She then came back with a bottle and held it out. "Here you are."

"Thank you. And you wouldn't happen to have a liquidized version of Poison Joke in your collection, would you? If not, I'll just get the flower."

"Actually..." Shy called "twilight would you go get the jar marked joke in the pantry?" She asked running a hoof down the unicorns spine

Twilight shuddered and nodded. "Yes, sweetie," she said before trotting into the kitchen.

"Sweetie?" asked Pinks.

"We're... lovers... Though, Twi is being punished right now for being so reckless. No cumming for a week," Shy said.

"Lovers, huh? That's how I am with Derpy now, as I'm sure you know by now." Twilight then returned with the jar and took the top off.Pinks looked inside. In the jar was a kind of blue paste.

"This is Poison Joke?"

"It's been mashed to a liquid... Makes it easier to ingest instead of inject," Shy said.

"And one touch is all it takes, right?"

"Yep," Shy cooed as she nibbled on Twilight's ear.

The purple mare moaned. "I love you..."

The pink mare smiled. "Now, I just need a vial."

"Here," Shy called, holding one out. "I was going to use this to torment my little bunny girl... but, you seem to need it more. Besides..." Shy slid a hoof to Twilight's nethers and started rubbing. "this works just fine..."

Pinks smiled and scooped some of the paste into it before setting the jar on a nearby table. She then stuffed the Poison Joke and the Poison Joke cure into her mane. "Thanks, Shy. Catch ya two later."

"Okay. Come by anytime... Maybe you can even help punish my bunny girl," Shy called, giving Twilight's nethers a jerk.

The purple mare gasped as Pinks smiled, leaving.

The pink mare entered the front doors of Sugarcube corner and headed downstairs. "Scootaloo!" she called.

The orange filly popped her head out of their room. "Yes, mommy?"

"Did you get that mare I sent in here earlier?"

"Yeah... She bucked me pretty hard, but I got her chained up in room 2," the filly said, rubbing a hoof print on her side.

"Don't worry, sweetie. The bitch will die soon enough."

Scoots smiled as she looked back at Sweetie Belle, who was asleep on the bed, legs spread and snoring lightly.

Pinkamena followed her gaze and smiled. "Aw, my baby's growing up."

Scoots blushed and smiled.

"You may go back to your little foal friend. I have work to do," said Pinks, heading to Room 2.

Applejack opened the main door to Sugarcube Corner. "Pinkie? Bloom told me ya wanted me ta stop by?" she called.

No answer.

AJ trotted towards the counter. "Pinkie?"

On the counter was a note with one word; 'Marco'.

"Marco?"

Just then Pinkamena popped up from behind the counter. "Polo!" she yelled, whacking AJ in the head with a rolling pin.

The mare backed up, rubbing her head. "Awww, Pinkie! The hay is wrong with you?!" she yelled.

The pink mare eyed the rolling pin. "Huh... That usually works..." She then eyed AJ. "Well, this is certainly awkward..."

"Was that suppsoed to knock me out?" AJ asked, still holding her head.

"Dammit!" yelled Pinkie, throwing the rolling pin at AJ.

It smacked her in the nose as she stumbled backwards. This caused her to hit a large pot off a tall shelf, making it land on her head. The mare dropped to the floor instantly, knocked out.

Pinkamena tilted her head slightly. "Huh... Interesting..."

Applejack slowly rolled onto her belly, moaning in pain as she opened her eyes. "Wh... Where am I?"

"Oh, you're awake," said the pink mare, the lights instantly coming on.

AJ held a hoof up over her eyes. "What's going on?!"

"I'll wait until you can see before I explain.

The apple mare let her eyes adjust and saw Pinkamena standing next to a chained up mare. "Pinkie, what's going on?"

"Oh, a fun game. You like games, don't you?"

"Er... Yeah... Why is she chained up?" AJ asked pointing a hoof.

"Well... I gave you a potion that I got from Rarity and while you were unconscious... I kept you sedated long enough that now..." She reached behind the mare and pulled out a pretty big hourglass and slamming it down in front of her. "you have only an hour to live!" She giggled and looked at the hourglass. "Unlike most hourglassesm this is actually an hour. How crazy is that?!"

"Wh-What do ya mean 'an hour to live'!?" AJ asked as she slowly, and weakly, got up.

"I... found an hourglass that's exactly an hour... and you're hung up about that?"

Applejack started huffing and holding her chest. "Wh... What did you... do to me?" she huffed.

"But the... hour... Aw, fuck it. You will die when this HOURglass runs out... unless you get the cure."

"Where's... the cure?"

"Right here!" said Pinks proudly as she slapped a sewn wound on the chained mare. "I gave her some of what I gave you, only I gave her a lot less. She's alive and can talk but can't move a muscle. And YOU... will have to tear her open if you wanna live. Shouldn't be too hard for you seeing as how you some... mighty strong hooves there, partner," she said, saying the last bit in a mock southern accent.

The bound mare sobbed into the rag in her mouth as AJ stared in horror at Pinkie. "Wh... Why would you do something like this?"

"Because, it's fun. Now tick tick. Time's a-wastin'. Giddy-up, Applejack."

The blonde mare growled and charged at Pinkamena. "I'll show ya giddy-up!" she yelled.

The pink mare didn't bother to move.

AJ just slumped into her, huffing "I... I can't breath..." she huffed, holding onto Pinkamena for support.

"Come on, AJ. Where's that never-give-up attitude your oh-so-famous for?"

The mare glared as she curled her foreleg around Pinkamena's neck, starting to strangle her.

The pink mare let out a choked giggled. "Kill me... and you'll never get out of here... Not to mention... if you fail to get the antidote... you'll die... and I assure you... it's not easy to come by..."

AJ looked at the bound mare.

"I know you're not stupid, Applejack. You know what you have to do. And even if I decided to let you go and get the antidote myself... she'll still die. Either that, or she'll rot in here. So, go on... Don't let the both of you die. Save yourself."

The blonde mare slowly started moving to the chained mare.

"That's it, Applejack. You can do it."

She put a hoof on the mare's chest.

"Oh, shit..." cried the mare, tears streaming her face.

"I... I'm sorry," AJ said.

The mare closed her eyes and sobbed. "Make it quick..."

"I'll... try," AJ said as she began pulling at the stitches.

The mare whimpered as Pinks smiled. Soon, it was open as Applejack pushed her hoof inside the mare, who yelled in excruciating pain.

"NO!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!" cried the mare.

"I'm sorry!" AJ yelled as she felt around inside the mare.

"Go on, Applejack!" yelled Pinks. "Finding the antidote will instantly kill the mare and put her out of her misery!" The bound mare kept wailing.

The apple mare was now foreleg deep inside the mare as she cried.

Come on, Applejack. You should be able to feel it by now. If not, you're pretty damn close."

"PLEASE!!!" cried the mare. "FIND IT!!! END THIS!!!"

AJ felt her hoof touch something hard. "I... I think I found it!"

"Good. Then yank it out," said Pinkamena.

"YANK IT OUT!!!" cried the mare, desperate to die so the pain'll end.

AJ did just that. Her hoof, as well as blood, slid out with a sickening sucking noise as she held the bottle of blue liquid.

As soon as she did, the mare's head hung limp. Attached to the bottle was a string and at the other end hung a loop.

Pinkamena giggled. "Aww... You broke her heart."

Applejack threw up as she sobbed. "Ah'm so sorry..."

"Take the antidote, AJ," said Pinks. "All you gotta do is touch it..."

The blonde mare crushed the bottle under hoof and rubbed a little of the blue paste onto herself, taking a deep breath.

The pink mare then pulled another vial from her mane and rolled it over to AJ. "Now, drink this."

She kicked it away, glaring at Pinkamena. "I'm not playing yer games anymore," she said, getting ready to charge.

The pink mare giggled before AJ smashed her against the wall.

"Do you have any idea what you just smeared on yourself?" the pink mare asked.

"Shut up!" AJ yelled, pressing a foreleg on the pink mare's neck.

"So, you... don't wanna... know? Okay, then..."

The blonde mare continued to crush Pinkamena's neck.

"If you... kill me... you'll die here... and that mare... would've died... for nothing..."

"I don't care..."

"Well... then..." Pinks reached into the lower half of her mane and pulled out a knife, lightly slashing AJ's chest.

To her surprise, she didn't let go. She only grunted in pain.

She then brought the knife up with the blade touching AJ's neck. "I'll count... to three... 1..."

AJ slowly began letting off pinks neck

"2..."

AJ let go all together, letting out a growl as she kicked the vial across the room, where it shattered against the wall.

"I really think you should know what you just did."

"I don't give a fuck. Now, let me out of here."

"Oh, you have no idea how sexy you sound when you talk like that."

The blonde mare glared at her. "Let me out."

Pinkamena moved to the door and banged on it. "Open up, Scoots!" She then held out her knife towards AJ. "Don't you fuckin' move a muscle."

The filly slowly unlocked the door and opened it.

"Now, I want you to stay in here and think about what you've done," the pink mare told Applejack. "Think of how you killed her with your bare hooves. Think of her screams as you broke her heart."

"That's it. I'm going to kill you!" she yelled, getting ready to charge.

The pink mare smiled and slipped out of the room, slamming the door shut and locking it. Applejack banged on the door, still yelling empty threats.

The pink mare smiled and looked down at Scootaloo. "We're gonna need some more Poison Joke antidote. Would you mind telling Fluttershy, sweetie?"

"On it, mommy!"

The pink mare looked at the door and grinned before leaving
