Pinkamena 3: Homecoming
Chapter 15: The Funeral
Previous Chapter The next morning found Twilight and her friends gathered in a field just outside Ponyville. They all stood around a gravestone. The atmosphere and tone of the current situation was most definitely a sad one. Fern knelt down in front of the gravestone.
"Oh, Pinkie." she said, wiping a tear from her cheek. "I'm glad I got to know the real you before the end. I just wish we could have hung out some more." A couple tears fell from her eyes before she let it all out. "WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS?!"
Dawn knelt down with Fern and hugged her. The two cried and cried.
"Who knew it would end this way?" asked Twilight. "It just seems so... unreal."
"I know what ya mean." said Applejack. "I just can't believe she's gone."
"You got a chance to hang out with her when she was in psycho mode. Right, Macy?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah. Macy responded. "Me and Fern."
"How was it?"
"A little creepy at first." said Macy, tears falling from her eyes. "But then her good side showed and I felt sorry for her."
Macy started to thought about the past.
Macy?" Fern asked, turning around.
Pinkie was standing in the doorway. She wasn't covered in blood, though. She then stepped to the side and another pony appeared in the doorway. It was Macy. Fern let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"I thought you were gonna eat her." said Fern as Macy sat down at the table.
"I was." said Pinkie.
"Well, why didn't you?" asked Fern. Pinkie said nothing. "Because you knew she was my friend." she said, siting down next to Macy. "You couldn't do it." Pinkie shifted her eyes to the right. "So, there is some good in you, after all."
"Good times." said Macy.
"Thinking about the past?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"I sure am.
"I think I'll give it a try."
Rainbow Dash began thinking about the past.
"What are you going to do?" asked Rarity.
"You'll see." said Pinkie Pie, not taking her eyes off of Bubbles. "But Bubbles won't."
She drove the scalpel into the eye socket of Bubbles' left eye. She let out a high-pitched scream as Pinkie Pie plucked out her eye. It fell out and rolled on the floor. Pinkie Pie then cut Bubbles' ropes. Bubbles backed against the wall, screaming in pain and holding her empty eye socket.
"NO!" Rainbow Dash screamed. "Bubbles." she said more softly.
Rarity started to cry. Pinkie Pie stabbed the lose eye with the scalpel. She then...
"Not a good memory." said Rainbow Dash. "Let me try another one."
"What are you doing?" asked Rainbow Dash with tears in her eyes.
"I told you." said Pinkie Pie, lining up the scalpel with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. "I need a few more ingredients."
Pinkie applied pressure to the scalpel, penetrating Dash's skin. Blood squirted out onto Pinkie's face. Rainbow Dash let out a loud cry of pain. Pinkie Pie continued to cut around Rainbow Dash's cutie mark. Blood was gushing out of the wound as Pinkie Pie peeled the loose skin off of Dash's thigh. Pinkie didn't cut it all the way so the skin was attached to Dash's body by a thin piece of skin. Pinkie yanked as hard as she could, tearing the skin off and...
"Perhaps I should just stay in the present." said Rainbow Dash with a sigh.
"Well, I'm heading to the hospital." said Dawn. "I promised May I'd visit her."
"See ya, later." said Twilight.
Dawn headed off to the hospital as the others continued to mourn for their lost friend.
