“Ooooooohhhhhhh…..” Nova said, his mouth a big O after what Rainbow Dash had just said. “You called a dead kid a bastaaaarrddddd…..Ooooooohhhhhhh…..”

Dash turned around from Kenny’s dead body, and glared at Nova, she had a certain amount of rage in her eyes. “Of course I did!” Dash said, flinging the camera at Ze’s face, luckily, Ze caught it. “This jerk is the one that took that picture!”

Ze was skeptical. Sure, the young foal had a camera, but was he REALLY the one that took the picture? “Now, now, Rainbow Dash….” Ze said trotting over and consoling her. “We shouldn’t jump to conclusions.”

“Too late!” Dash said, throwing her arms into the air. “He’s guilty! Just look at the camera!”

“How the hell do we even know THAT’S the camera that took the picture?” Nova asked doubtfully, grabbing the camera with his front hooves. “I don’t suppose you ponies your film cartridges?”

Dash scowled. “What? You think we live in the Dark Age or something? Of course we use film cartridges!” Nova began looking at the camera, he found the film compartment on the back of the camera. He opened it up, and the negatives popped out.

“Yup, this is the camera, alright…” Nova said, almost dropping the camera in shock.

“No…Can’t be!” Ze exclaimed, still doubtful about this whole situation. Ze trotted over, and looked at the photos, yup, there it was, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash kissing ever so gently. Rainbow Dash was now looking at the picture, as well.

“Yup! I knew it!” Dash growled. “He’s the culprit! The sick son of a mare! He gets his jollies taking pictures of two mares kissing!”

“Yeah, but….If he took it….Then who killed him?” Ze asked curiously. He had an idea of who, but, for fear of his life, he wouldn’t say.

“I know what you guys are thinking….” Dash said, noticing the stares she was getting. “But, I swear on my wings, and may The Steed strike lightning down upon my wings and fry them if I’m lying, but I did. Not. Kill. This. Kid. I found him like this, after getting THIS leader…” She forgot she had the letter all along, and she could use it as proof that she was telling the truth. She showed the letter to Ze and Nova.

“What the? Fluttershy…Is your secret admirer?” Ze said, flabbergasted.

“Dayum….” Was all Nova could say.

“No, you guys! You don’t understand!” Dash cried. “When I got here, no one was waiting for me by this cave, I looked around, and all I found….Was him.” She gestured towards Kenny’s dead body.

“Then how the hell is this picture even possible?!” Nova shouted, causing some birds to fly off in fear.

“It beats me…” Dash said, shrugging. “But that was NOT me, and it was NOT Fluttershy in that picture….This kid screwed with it somehow!”

“This is all happening too fast…” Ze said, trotting over and leaning against the cave.

“I think we may need to take this to the Police….” Nova said, still looking at the odd photo.

“There IS no more police force, guys. After that Officer Jameson guy was found dead, the Ponyville police force has died along with him.”

“That WAS very strange….” Ze said, remembering the dick police-man. “It was also in the paper, that a photographer for the Ponyville Press, Lens Flare, was found dead with him.”

Dash nodded. “Yup. And it….Was right here.” Suddenly, a faint gust of wind breezed through the three’s hair as Dash said.

“This may be a helluva guess…” Nova began. “But, I think, there is a murderer here in Ponyville….”

Ze and Dash gasped. It seemed that was the only explanation at this point. “Think about it…” Nova continued. “Three dead ponies, found in the EXACT same spot…Within three days. Also, let’s not forget about that dead…Bird thing we saw in the air on our way here.”

“You may have something, Nova…And don’t forget, the dead Ursa MAJOR found decapitated. Who in the hell is powerful enough to kill one of those?!” Dash said, putting a hoof to her chin. “I remember, when I first buried this little guy, he didn’t have ANYTHING on him, not even that camera.”

“Someone must’ve came by when you left, and planted the evidence!” Ze proclaimed, his eyes bugging out.

“Ooohhh…They’re clever…” Pyro-Zi said from the inside of the cave.

“But who would want to cause so much….Anguish here in Ponyville?” Dash wondered. “It’s such a nice place, murder is rare.”

PZ-1 and PZ-3 snickered as Pyro-Zi cockily pointed both of his thumbs towards himself.

“I don’t know, but I think we’ve got bigger things to worry about…” Nova replied, looking at his surroundings. “The murderer so far, has only struck here….And right now…We…Are here…”

Rainbow Dash and Ze realized what Nova meant. They both gulped simultaneously. “Alright, guys….Remain calm…” Ze said, placing his front hooves in the air. However, this situation did not calm Rainbow Dash. She went absolutely NUTS.

“OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH OHMYGOSH!!!!!” Dash said, frantically flying around in circles. “WE’RE GONNA DIIIEEEE!!!!!”

Nova facehoofed. “Yup, she’s dumb like Ze, too…” He thought to himself. “You do know…We can fly….Right?”

Dash suddenly stopped in her tracks, she mentally groanded at how easily she had forgotten about her abilities. “….I knew that.” She replied, trying to play it cool. They all quickly placed the dirt back on Kenny’s dead body, and took to the air.

“Sorry little dude…” Dash said, frowning. “Didn’t mean to accuse you of something you didn’t do…”

“Ze wishes you good luck with The Steed.” Ze said, smiling warmly.

“I hope your mom stops being a whore so much, ya know, so she can remember her son.” Nova said, a tear forming in his eye. He wasn’t the most emotional Creature, that honor belonged to Sly, and while you may think that wasn’t a formal way to say goodbye…It seemed nice enough to Nova.

“NOVA!” Dash said, punching him in the arm.

“DAMMIT, WOMAN! I’M POURING MY HEART OUTHERE!” Nova retorted, clutching his arm in pain. Dash and Ze rolled their eyes.

“Goodbye…” The three said simultaneously, and flew off back to Cloudsdale.

Pyro-Zi and his faithful clones watches from the inside of the cave. “That….Almost made me want to cry…” Pyro-Zi said, sarcastically blowing his nose. He then noticed his two clones looking at him dumbfounded. “I said almost…”

PZ-1 and PZ-3 laughed. “You almost scared us, boss….” PZ-3 said, cringing at what a wussy Pyro-Zi would be like.

“I think we’ve had enough fun for one day….” Pyro-Zi said, smirking. “The last straw was when we placed the camera into the young Boy’s pockets…”

“Yeah, they’re on to something…” PZ-1 retorted.

Pyro-Zi laughed. “Don’t be stupid, PZ-1. Those ponies will NEVER find the murderer! This cave, is covered by a stainless steel door, which has been camouflaged so that it does not stand out."

"I would like to atleast think they are smart enough to know who the Murderer is..." PZ-1 replied.

"It is because they underestimate me....Even the humans, because they have never seen my feats of Technology." Pyro-Zi answered. "They would not expect a scrawny alien like me to kill an Ursa Major of all things!"

"When will we be able to show them how dangerous we really are, Emperor?" PZ-3 asked.

"In due time, my clones...In due time..." Pyro-Zi answered with a chuckle. "First, though, we need a plan....We need a way to...Introduce ourselves to these pathetic ponies. I do like to make a grand entrance, after all." He laughed evilly.

"I guess we will need much in the form of brain power for Step 1 in this grand scheme..." PZ-3 suggested.

"You are correct." Pyro-Zi replied, nodding. "None of us have come up with a single thing yet, but, I have faith, that with me and my 5 clones...Sooner or later, a master plan with fall into play! After all, we ARE evil geniuses..." PZ-1 and PZ-3 began to laugh evilly, but Pyro-Zi stopped them.

"Shhh....COMPUTER!" Pyro-Zi commanded. Once again, the computer spran up to life.

"Yes, Emperor?" The computer asked, ready to meet her master's requests.

"Call in the other clones..." Pyro-Zi smirked. "Five brains, are better than three...."

Fluttershy's Cottage....

Marcus sighed deeply. Fluttershy was the pony he feared the least, even though he didn't fear any of them. She was so quiet, she hadn't even talked to Marcus yet, which made Marcus smile. If she was a human, however, Marcus would try to get to know her, but since she is a Pony, he is a bit weary of her. Fluttershy's roommate, however? Yeah....HE intimidated him. Ryback was a man of few words, but his actions made him look like he was a blabbermouth. Even since they met, Ryback has always some way or another, tortured Marcus. Marcus was indeed, scared of Ryback, but he would only admit that if he was on his death bed. He slowly walked up to the door, no confidence had been brewed yet, but he had to deliver this invitation. He put everything on the line, and quietly knocked a few times.

"Coming..." Marcus heard a faint voice say from the inside. A few moments later, Fluttershy opened the door to the point where she could see who had been knocking. When she saw who was knocking, she squeaked in fear, and backed away from the door.

Marcus was afraid of Ryback, and Fluttershy was afraid of Marcus himself. Ever since the arrival of the humans, when Marcus pulled Pinkie's tale, her fear of him and grew. When he yelled at everypony for calling him out on his secret, it made Fluttershy's insides sink. Fluttershy thought about using 'The Stare' on the mean human, but he was just that...A human, and 'The Stare' only worked on animals. And now, Marcus was at her own house, knocking on her door. What did he want with her? He probably wanted to kill her, and make her his supper. She couldn't believe that humans ate meat....Who would want to eat the flesh of her beloved dead Animals? Some even ate RAW meat! It sickened her how these humans survived.

Marcus knew this would happen. He had scared over half of the Ponyville population since arriving, but Fluttershy was the only one of the Mane 6 he had scared so far. He had to deliver this invitation, and he had to deliver it before Ryback showed up. Too bad for Marcus, Ryback was right behind him, and without another word, he lifted him up into the air.

"Oh shit..." Marcus thought, as he was face to face with his worst nightmare. Ryback looked right at the pony, and in an amazing and confusing turn of events, Ryback....Hugged Marcus?

"Huh..?" Marcus thought bewilderedly. "Oh shit! He must think I'm Pinkie!" Marcus smirked. "I'm in the clear now!"

However, Ryback noticed the smell of this Pinkie. She did not smell like Cotton Candy....Ryback knew something was wrong. He pulled the hood off of the Pinkie Pie costume, and was shocked at the discovery that it was not Pinkie, but Marcus all along.

"Me and my fat thoughts....." Marcus thought, gulping. "He-hey, big man!"

Ryback snarled, and dropped Marcus to the ground. He began advancing towards him, and would've choked him soon, if Fluttershy had not sprang outside and blocked his path.

"Ryback! No!" Fluttershy quietly exclaimed. "He isn't here to hurt anypony!"

"Shes right!" Marcus sight, nodding frantically. "I[m not here to hurt anyo-errr...Anypony!" He still hadn't gotten used to that.

Ryback did not trust Marcus, but he trusted Fluttershy, however, and he helped Marcus to his feet, and even dusted off his coat with his hooves.

Marcus was about to thank Fluttershy for quite possibly, saving his life, but he noticed she she was once again, cowering at the sight of him. "It's alright, Fluttershy...I was telling the truth..." He whispered.

Fluttershy was still timid, but seemed to believe him, and had now gotten a bit more comfortable. She now stood back up, and smiled at Marcus slightly.

"What can I help you with?" Fluttershy asked sweetly.

"Pinkie Pie just wanted me to give you both this invitation..." He answered, handing Fluttershy the invitation, she began reading it. "She had me dress up like her, because she had to take her gator to the Dentist."

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow. "But...Gummy doesn't have any teeth."

Marcus sighed. "Fluttershy...How long have you known this girl?"

Fluttershy smiled. "Long enough."

"If you haven't figured out why she does the things she does by now...You're never going to..." He chuckled.

"She's unpredictable..." Fluttershy replied. "That's for sure..."

Marcus nodded. "By the way..." He began. "There's no need to fear me. I'm not, like, nuts or anything, I've just had a bad past, alright? I'm not too fond of ponies, but that doesn't mean I'm going too do anything I'll regret...."

Fluttershy smiled even more now. "Thank you. But, I'm always afraid of new ponies. You and all of your friends...Make me feel...Uncomfortable...." She gasped, and suddenly realized Marcus may take that as making fun of him. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that!" She exclaimed quietly.

Marcus sighed. "It's alright, Fluttershy, no need to apologize. Me and my friends are weird, we know, but we are also good people...Like this guy." He gestured towards Ryback, who waved at both of them happily.

"Oh yes, Ryback is very nice." Fluttershy replied, waving back at Ryback.

"Perhaps you will see us in a different light at the Party on Friday." Marcus suggested.

"Oh, yes!" Fluttershy excitedly replied. "I can't wait!"

Marcus smiled slightly. "Yeah....Me neither....See you guys." With that, he left the cottage without waving. He had one more destination, and that would be Carousel Boutique. He had already left a message at Cloudsdale, although he had to use Pinkie's hot-air balloon to reach the Clouds.

Many minutes Later.....

Carousel Boutique....

Marcus had reached his final destination, he had one invitation left. He hated all of the background and non-important ponies of the Show, and he STILL had to give invitations to them! Hell, some of them wanted to TALK to him! Horsepower had followed him for over a mile after getting his invitation, shouting "YEAH!" over and over again. Marcus had to resist the urge to punch the steroid Pony. He was afraid of Ryback, but Ryback was not all steroids, he was all power, Horsepower, however, Marcus knew he could take him because he had to use a certain substance to gain his power. Derpy followed Marcus a ways after getting her invitation, and went on and on, something about..."Muffins"? "I don't care if the fat bitch wants muffins..." Marcus said to himself. Doctor Whooves tried to persuade Marcus to visit a psychiatrist, so he could deal with his "Everlasting Sorrow" (HAHA! OLD TF2 NAME!) Marcus finally snapped, and told Doc. he would be "Visiting the hospital himself if he kept talking to him." So he ran off.

From Marcus had seen so far of Rarity, she was more....Mature than almost all of the other residents of Ponyville, this made Marcus less angry about having to hand out this last invitation. But what applied the anger back on, was the fact of who lived with Rarity....Good old sarcastic, Phil Brooks.....He could only imagine how much fun he would have with this.....Which brings up the question, why didn't Marcus just take the outfit off? That would be the WORST possible thing he could do....He would hurt Pinkie's feelings, because he knew she would already be home by the time he got back to Sugarcube Corner, and if she saw her costume thrown on the floor, she would break down and cry, and Marcus didn't want to have to deal with that shit....

He approached Carousel Boutique, and braced himself for the onslaught of laughter from CM Punk, he politely knocked on the door. "Coooommmiiinngggg!" He heard somepony say in a sing-song voice. A few moments later, and the door was opened, and inside stood Rarity, and CM Punk.

Marcus was shocked, but not because Punk wasn't laughing yet, he KNEW why Punk wasn't laughing....Punk was wearing a frilly red dress, and he did NOT look happy in the least bit. In fact, as soon as he saw who was at the door, he hung his head in shame. Finally, for the first time today, Marcus could see he wasn't the only pony made out to look like a fool today.

"Oh! Hello, Marcus, dear!" Rarity exclaimed.

"Ummm.....Hi, Rarity..." Marcus was too busy eyeing Punk's....Attire.

Punk shot Marcus a glare. "Take a picture, asshole...It lasts longer."

"Ho, I wish I had a camera..." Marcus said, chuckling. "I didn't realize I wasn't the only pony being paraded around in a...Non so suiting outfit."

"Yeah. Small world, huh?" Punk said, chuckling.

Rarity giggled. "Come on inside, please, Marcus." Rarity said, stepping aside to make room for Marcus. Marcus wanted to get this over with, but he also wanted to know how in the hell Punk could let Rarity wear such a manly-erasing getup.

"You tell me, I'll tell you..." Was the first sentence Punk spoke. Marcus groaned.

"Pinkie had to take Gummy to the dentist today...." He immediately noticed the odd looks on Rarity and Punk's faces. "Don't ask..." He continued. "So, she made ME pass out all of these invitations..."

Punk laughed. "In that ridiculous crap?!"

"I have no idea what the Pony thinks about..." Marcus said, shaking his head.

Rarity giggled. "Trust me, dahling, you will get used to her....Errr, unusual antics soon enough."

Marcus's eyes bulged. "HOW SOON?"

"It depends on how patient you are." Rarity answered.

"Pfftttt!!!!" Punk blew a raspberry. "Marcus is as patient as a hooker on pay-day..."

Rarity cringed at Punk's language. "Why must you always use such.....Unpleasant language?"

"Why must you always put me in these disgusting ensembles?" Punk shot back, smirking.

"I think you look ravishing..." Marcus said, snickering. Punk automatically gave him a dirty look.

"You would...." Punk retorted, causing Marcus to growl.

"He's right, you know." Rarity said, smiling. "You don't scream "HOBO" as much as you did before."

Punk wrinkled his nose. "And you sound less bitchy when you're asleep."

Rarity scoffed. "Looks like the dress didn't improve his crappy attitude, though..." Marcus added.

"Good." Punk said, smiling. "That's just the way I like it."

Rarity rolled her eyes, while Marcus snickered. "So anyway....How did....THIS happen?" He gestured towards Punk's dress.

It was now Punk's turn to groan. "It's really simple, actually.....This marshmallow bitch is so lonely she has no one else to try on her self-made dresses, so I automatically got picked..."

"Please, Phillip.....It hurts me when you say such things about me..." She sincerely proclaimed.

"And it hurts me when I have to wear dresses made for MARES." Punk replied. "Do I look like a MARE to you?"

"Yes." Marcus boldly stated, Punk just glared at him.

"You watch your mouth, Pink-Eye...." Punk said, accusingly pointing a Hoof at Marcus.

"I just needed someone to try on some of my new dresses for me..." Rarity explained. "I could've gotten ANY model I wanted, but I wanted Phillip. Because the red dress REALLY brings out his blue fur!" She stated with glee.

"Well, well..." Marcus began. "Seems like we both are in some sticky Situations..."

Punk laughed sarcastically. "This isn't funny...."

"It is for me." Marcus replied, smirking.

"Oh, just give us the damn Invitation!" Punk retorted impatiently.

Marcus obliged, and set the invitation in one of the Pockets in Punk's dress. "You jackass...." Punk said, looking down at his filled pocket.

Marcus chuckled. "You look like a jackass with that dress on." Punk stuck his tongue out at Marcus.

"Please, boys, let's calm down, now." Rarity said, getting in between the two.

"Geez, we're just messing around with eachother, you boss-mallow." Punk said, smirking.

"GRRRR...." Rarity growled. "TAKE OFF THAT DRESS....BEFORE I BURN IT OFF OF YOU!"

Punk quickly ripped the dress off his body, and threw it on the floor. "I knew I could win! The boss-mallow has been CONQUERED!"

Rarity gasped, and looked down at her destroyed creation. "I said take it off, not RIP it off!"

"Well darn..." Punk said, putting his hooves at his sides. "I guess I just CAN'T follow directions....What a shame...."

Rarity looked up at Punk with a glare that could kill. "Oh....It. Is. On....." Rarity replied, shooting daggers at Punk with her eyes.

"I'll leave you two to massacre eachother." Marcus said, chuckling. He quickly backed out of the door, and went back on his way to Sugarcube Corner.

Many moments Later.....

Marcus returned to Sugarcube Corner, and, just like he figured, Pinkie Pie was already back home, and she was was playing with Gummy, who had numerous cotton-swabs in the gaps in his mouth.

Pinkie gasped at Marcus's sight. "Hi, Markie!" She jumped up, and started hopping around Marcus. "Did you deliver all of the invitations?"

Marcus nodded, and placed the empty basket on the counter. "Although, I did not enjoy my work attire...."

Pinkie frowned. "Not a fan of Pink, huh?"

Marcus nodded his head. "It looks gay...."

Pinkie perked up again. "Gay as in happy, or gay as in...."

"The gay type of gay." Marcus interrupted, causing Pinkie to frown again.

"Don't worry, Marky!" Pinkie said, perking up once again. "You wont EVER have to wear the Pinkie costume again!"

"Thew..." Marcus said. "Awesome....But, Pinkie, I wanted to ask you something."

"Hmmm?"

"The party is Friday?"

"Yup!"

"Wont you, uh...Need more time than that? Friday is, pretty short notice....And a party takes a while to plan...."

Pinkie giggled at Marcus's naivety. "I'm fast at organizing Parties, Marky! Thanks to my party cannon!"

"Do you....Need any help?" Marcus asked, genuinely. He sort of felt bad that she had no one helping her.

"No thanks! ALL of Ponyville will be helping me! And besides, you can't see the development of your own party, silly!"

Marcus sighed. "I guess you're right...."

Out of nowhere, Pinkie hugged Marcus. Marcus felt like pushing the pony back, but for some reason, a feeling deep inside of him told him to let her continue hugging....And another feeling told him to hug her back! "Stupid feelings..." Marcus thought. "Ain't no fucking WAY I'm doing that!"

"Marcus?" Pinkie said, still hugging him.

"Y-yeah.....?" He slowly asked.

"I can't wait until the party!" She giggled.

Marcus smiled. "Me neither..." He replied.
