"No!" Fluttershy screamed as she awoke from her sleep. She felt her chest rise and fall as she continued breathing heavily. She had just awoken from what she thought was a horrible nightmare. Pinkie Pie had kidnapped her from her home and hung her on the wall in a room filled with corpses. She then realized it wasn't a nightmare.
"Oh, good! Your awake!" Pinkie Pie shouted from across the long, dark room, "Now we can begin the process."
Fluttershy heard the squeaking of rusted wheels, and watched as Pinkie rolled in a cart of what appeared to be kitchen utensils. As the cart rolled closer, Fluttershy saw the blade of a sharp knife, the jagged points of a hacksaw, and twisted end of a drill.
"Wha- What are those for?" Fluttershy stuttered, even though she already had a feeling she knew what they were for. Sadly, her hunch was correct.
"What a nice cutie mark you have! You know, I could turn it into a part hat… Yes! A party hat!" Pinkie Pie said as she picked up the smallest and sharpest knife, "Wouldn't that look great!"
"Why are you doing this?!" Fluttershy yelled between gasps for breath.
"Why not?" Pinkie Pie responded, and she began humming an eerie tune that Fluttershy immediately recognized as the lullaby she used to sing to her animals when it was time for them to go to bed.
"Hush now, quite now, time to lay your sleepy heads. Hush now, quite now, it's time to go to bed." Pinkie Pie sang as she sharpened the knife even more.
Fluttershy struggled to break free of the metal straps that held her up against the wall as Pinkie walked over.
"Now, how are we going to do this…?" Pinkie asked herself as she studied Fluttershy's cutie mark, and she soon began the first incision.
Fluttershy bit her lip to hold back a scream as the knife tore her muscles. She didn't want to see, but eventually looked down. She almost fainted at the sight of her blood forming a pool on the floor and of her flesh dangling. Fluttershy shut her eyes tight as the pain in her thigh grew stronger. Eventually, she felt the weight from her dangling skin be removed from the rest of her body.
"Perfection!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed as she held up the long strip of raw flesh with three pink butterflies on it.
"Now, the party favors." Pinkie said as she walked back to the cart and picked up a larger knife.
