Pony Note

Chapter 1: Alpha

Light Yagami just got back from his studies. He went up to his room to write more names of criminals in his death note as usual. Ryuk came a while later, with another death note in his hand.

"Hey, Light," he said. Light replied: "Hm? What is it, Ryuk?" Ryuk then tossed Light the death note, which he caught. "Another death note? Ryuk, do you really want me to—" He then read the front cover of the notebook. "`Pony Note`? It looks almost exactly like an actual death note." Light opened the notebook and saw that it looked exactly identical to the standard death notes; except for the rules. "Where did you find this?"

"I was looking around in the downtown area while you were at school and I found it in front of a toy store; though I forgot the name." Light then got curious. "At a toy store? I'm guessing it's a toy for all the boys who absolutely despise girl toys, such as one particular series called "My Little Pony" But there's one thing wierd...

"This notebook looks almost exactly like an actual death note. How would they know about a death note?" Ryuk replied "Maybe they found another death note and copied this out of that. Well, except for the title and rules. For all I care, it could be coincidental."

Light then saw a note fall out of the pony note. In that note was a list of every single pony's name in Equestria. And, of course, the names of the main 6 were at the top. "That's pretty clever. The people who created this toy created a list of all the ponies to "kill"." Light then felt some strange gust of wind only felt by him hit his face. "What...? What was that?" Light thought.

"Maybe you should try it out and see if it's real?" Ryuk suggested. Light gave a sigh and replied "Alright. If you really want me to test it, then fine. I'll do it. It's obviously fake." So it seemed; but that was not true. Just like the death note Light found, the pony note was the real deal.

Meanwhile, in Equestria, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie were taking a stroll in the Everfree Forest.

"Hey, Twilight!" said Pinkie. Twilight sighed lightly. "Pinkie, you want to throw another party, don't you?" she asked. "Yep! I've been thinking about what theme it should be. Any ideas? I'm thinking cupcakes!"

"Cupcakes, are you serious?" Twilight replied. "Pinkie, I don't think you should go there." "Why not, Twilight? I just KNOW it'll be a success! We're gonna have—URGH!" As she suddenly screamed, she clutched her hooves to her chest.

"Pinkie?" Pinkie fell to the ground, helplessly rolling and gasping for air. "Pinkie Pie?" Pinkie kept doing this until, finally, she had died. Twilight then rushed and tried to get her conscious again... "Pinkie Pie? Pinkie Pie? Speak to me, Pinkie! PINKIE PIE?" ...but to no avail. Twilight then put her right front hoof on Pinkie Pie's chest, and didn't feel a single trace of a pulse. It was then clear to her that Pinkie was dead. Twilight began to tear up. "No... This can't be true... It can't be! I have to tell the others!" She then rushed to tell her friends.

Back at the Yagami residence...

"Well, that was a waste of time. I can't believe you made me do this, Ryuk," Light said. "Go throw it away."

"Sorry, Light." Ryuk said. "I'm afraid I can't do that." "What—What do you mean?" "All of a sudden I have this hunch that the note book is real. I don't know who created this, but-"

"You don't know who created it?" Light interrupted. "I thought that the shinigami king made all death notes." "Well, it does appear to look that way, but I can tell this isn't a material from my realm." Ryuk responded. "Anyway, I'm going to keep it with me for the time being." Ryuk took the pony note and put it in his parson. Light then got suspicious of Ryuk. He began to wonder if Ryuk knew things Light didn't. Ryuk's suspicious-seeming behavior was of what Light hadn't seen before.

"This isn't like Ryuk at all. Why is he doing this? I can't believe that he would want to keep it, knowing it was fake. What if... Maybe he knows something I don't? That's it! It has to be! He might also know about that gust of wind only I felt. I'll keep asking Ryuk for the notebook and see if I can get him to spill the beans on what he knows. But... this is a shinigami. I'll have to be careful. If I piss him off too much, he'll kill me with his death note. I guess the only way I'll ever get my hands on that pony note is if I ask him to write the name of a pony in it. This'll be tough, I know; but it will be worth it. As Kira, I have to know everything about everyone!" That was Light's thinking process.

Meanwhile, in Equestria, Twilight was in her home, wondering why Pinkie had died. "How could this happen? I didn't think Pinkie would die so soon! Could it be that she had some cholesterol in her body mass-producing at a faster rate from all the sweets she's eaten? No, that's ridiculous! Maybe someone poisoned her... That's one possibility. Another would be that she had an insect of some sort enter her bloodstream the previous day and it stopped her heart. No... Yes! I've got it! Someone poisoned her! Someone must have a grudge against her, and he or she poisoned her to death in some way for the satisfaction! There's no other way she could have died. That's the only way!" She was wrong. The reality was that Light killed her with the pony note. But she didn't know it. Yet.

Spike couldn't help but feel the urge to help her. Spike had already been told earlier on. "So what are we going to do about it?"

"Spike..." Twilight replied. "You and I are going to hunt for a killer!"

And even though Light and Twilight didn't know it at the time, they were going to be searching for answers throughout this entire series of mayhem yet to come...

AN: Forgive me if you think this is bad, but from all the helpful criticism I get, I will improve, believe you me. I plan for this to be a 54-chapter saga. I know what you're thinking: "54, are you serious? He's only a beginner!" I'm challenging myself. I'll see if I can handle the challenge. Why 54? It's half of 108, the number of Death Note chapters. I guess this story reveals my one hidden shame: I'm a brony.
