It had been days since Twilight had scene Rainbow Dash. But this was not the first time that Rainbow Dash went missing for any reason! She was probably on her way back right now and she was worrying over nothing. But still, there was a sharp filling in her gut that something was wrong. She wanted to look for her! But figured there was no way in equestrian she was going to find her. Dash was just too fast and quick moving. It didn't matter, Dash would be home soon and tell where she had gone then they would all laugh and have pastries made by Pinkie Pie. That reminded Twilight- she had ordered cupcakes for a sleep over she was having very soon! She had so much fun on the last one that she was going to have another with all her friends.
And so she had entered into Pinkie's house waiting patiently for someone to answer her. "Hello? Is anyone home?" asked Twilight. Her voice echoed threw out the house but nobody answered. "Where could they all be?" thought Twilight as she rang the tiny bell on the desk of the bakery. But once again she was ignored.
She knew that they didn't forget her order since she asked about it only a day ago! Then Twilight thought, "I'll just go in the back and look for my order. Besides I've been around the house before. I mean, as long as I leave a payment nobody won't mind!" Twilight smiled and trotted her way into the kitchen freezer. She looked inside but there was nothing there. Not even one pastry from someone else's order. It was completely empty of any sweets.
"That's funny; they always have a Cream Puff or something!" Twilight thought, "Something funny is going on around here! Where is Pinky? Where is anybody?!" Twilight searched the whole house yelling, "Pinkie, Pinkie where are you? Is anybody home?" Twilight had searched top to bottom but nobody had been seen or heard. "I'm just being silly… they just aren't home! " Laughed Twilight, then she walked her way downstairs. But before she could walk out the door she noticed the brown dark door over on a corner next to a table. At first she notices the boll of candy on the table before she noticed the door. "I wonder why I never noticed it." Asked Twilight, Twilight had never seen the door before and she been in the house many times!
"Well, it would not hurt to take a peek! Pinky won't mind…" Twilight smiled as she was overrun with curiosity.
She opened the door slowly and quietly. But still it made a loud squeaking sound that spooked Twilight a little. She had a very bad feeling bad feeling about this! But she had to look! She looked the stairs notices nothing but intense darkness. Her horn quickly fluttered with light and she walk down slowly. Each step meant a squeaking noise that Twilight just could not get use too; she could not help but to be scared for no reason. Finally she on the floor of the cold and dark basement witch was wet and slimy by the touch. She groaned as she felt the slimy gawk of the basement touch her hoofs. She quickly began looking for a light twitch or something.
Just then she was walking and began to sniff. Then a loud, "UGH!" escaped her lips as she smelled the otter of something rotting! "I wonder how long it's been since Pinky cleaned this basement! I bet it's very moldy!" cried Twilight as she tried to cover nose but didn't want to get the gawk on her face. Then without noticing she ran into something. She turned her head to see what it was that had hit her. It was soft and cold so it didn't hurt Twilight. At first she just stood there stunned. But she sighed noticing it was nothing.
But then she took a closer look- it looked like a doll- dangling from the- wall?
"Hu?" screeched Twilight in confusion. Then she took her hoof and pulled the figure around. Just then did Twilight's heart stop, her breathing become faster, her eyes became teary and there was sweat and shock running down her face- as she saw Rainbow Dashes lifeless face.
Twilight didn't know how to react! She didn't know what to do. Then she pulled her hoof up noticing that it was neither water nor gawk on her leg. But sticky, cold, hard blood!
"WHERE AM I?" screamed Twilight as she ran up the stairs and out of the house leaving the door open and blood prints behind.
Twilight ran as far away as she cold. Soon the blood on her hoofs had dried so she stood them in the closest pond of water. As soon as they were cleaned she ran back to tell her friends but then notice all her blood prints had been cleaned and Pinky had been home. She figured that Pinky better be the first one to tell! So she ran inside, "Pinky! Pinky! There's-"Then she notice Pinking smiling while she mixed her Cupcake batter. "Oh hi Twilight, I'm just making your order! I'm sorry I came in so late. There was something I had to do." Said Pinkie while hopping her way around the kitchen, "Pinky, there's a-"But once again Twilight was cut off, "Twilight you look so pale something the matter?" Then she noticed that Pinky had put the boll of Cupcake batter on the counter. "Um…. Why is your cake batter so red?" Twilight asked she looked inside noticing the red texture of the batter. "What- this, I'm making a special red velvet batter for you! Anything for my friends! I even put some of my family's special ingredients."
"And what would those ingredients be?" asked Twilight with a shiver. "Now Twilight, it would not be a secret if I told! Maybe someday I share it with you… "Smiled Pinky Pie as she thought of how nice it would be to share her Cupcake making secrets with her friend.
"Now you go home Twilight! I have a lot of work to do and I want the end results to be a surprise!" Pinky jumped and smiled as she led Twilight out the door and slammed it very subspecies. Twilight stood on the front of the house like a slug. Speechless and shocked she slowly walked home.
