I woke up in a dark room. I looked around and tried to find a door so I can get out, but there was no door in sight. Frustrated, I sat down on the floor and noticed that the floor was wet. I payed no mind to it, until the room suddenly became well lit and it revealed something that would scar a pony for life. The walls were stained with splatters of blood, along with distorted words written along them. Shocked, I began to look around for a way to escape, but found nothing. Instead, I found something that even I couldn't bare to look at. I found the bodies of many ponies. They looked as if they were beaten to death and hacked away and they were orderly hung on a wall as if on display. I shuddered and tried to look away, but something forced me to stare at them. I began to become scared, knowing that my fate will probably be the same as these ponies and began to find the will power to turn away, but when I turned around, I found something way worst than the bodies of the ponies. I found the heads of four of my new friends Twilight, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Applejack. All of them had their eyes gouged out, and their mouth open as if they were crying or yelling for help all the way up until they died. I shuddered and began to feel tears form in my eyes. But this isn't the end of this nightmare. I turned around and began to look for a door, when a darkened corner of the room began to illuminate, revealing something that will cause me to lose complete sanity. It had the body of a cyan coated, rainbow manned mare. It was the body of Rainbow Dash.

"Who could do such a thing?" I said to myself. Unfortunately, somepony heard me and began to laugh. "I would!" A voice said with a sing-song voice. I recognized that voice. "Pinkie Pie? How could you?" I asked, not believing that a pony filled with life can end the lives of others. She giggled again. "Well, their numbers came up! I can't break the rules, silly." She said, as she emerged from the shadows, revealing that her mane was a dark shade of pink and wasn't poofy. This startled me and caused me to recoil a bit, causing Pinkie to laugh uncontrollably. "What are you afraid of?" She said, moving closer to me, causing me to back away. After a minute of backing away, I found myself cornered. Nowhere to run. Pinkie giggled and revealed a scalpel that she's been holding all along. "Oh! I forgot, your number came up, but I just threw it away because I need that precious little head of yours." She said as she threw the scalpel away with a smile. She then moved uncomfortably close to me and began to caress my face. "See, I know that you and I share some of the same traits. We both know how to kill things and ruin their lives." She said with a smile, causing me to become angry at her. "We don't share the same traits!" I growled at her, snatching my face away. "You know we do. If we didn't then explain this." She said, gesturing towards something. I turned around and saw the crumpled bodies of Night Wing and that family of murderers. "I..." I tried to say something, but it wouldn't come out. "See? I told you." Pinkie said with a grin. "So, come with me. Leave that mule that you have as a girlfriend and come live with me." "No! I will not become a killer!" I yelled in anger. Pinkie frowned. "Fine. Have it your way." She said as she walked towards the scalpel she threw away. Once she grabbed it, she began to giggle and said, "You know, I regret doing this. You know, the killing and torture, but the rush of it is so exciting! It turns me on." She said, playing with the scalpel, "The thing I like the most, though, is people getting angry at me and yelling at me. Oh! How that turns me on." She said with a bit of lust in her voice. She then turned to me, eyes filled with lust. "Make love to me." She said. "No." I said, seething with rage. Pinkie smiled and walked over to me and caressed my face, again. "Well you have no other choice. Otherwise, I'll kill...her..." She said, gesturing towards a surgical table.

I looked at it and realized that my lover is strapped to the table with surgical tools next to her. I looked back at Pinkie and frowned. "I have to say no to that." I said. Pinkie frowned and sighed. "Okie dokie lokie." She said, as she began to walk towards Red with a scalpel in her hands. Pinkie turned around and grinned at me. Realizing what she was about to do, I began to run towards her ready to hit her with all of my might, but I couldn't move. Confused and enraged, I looked around and noticed that I was strapped down against the wall and couldn't move. Even if I tried to escape, the straps would get tighter. I could only watch in horror as Pinkie torture Red. I let out a frustrated and saddened yell. Pinkie looked back at me with blood all over her face and grinned. She then began to walk towards me and said, "Finished. Now it's your turn." Time slowed down as the blade penetrated my skin.

I woke up with a small gasp and sat up. I looked at my hoofs and gave a sigh of relief. 'It's only a dream.' I thought as I laid back down, but instantly shot back up due to the bed being drenched in sweat. I sighed and got up from the bed only to be met by Rainbow Dash with a concerned look on her face. "Are you okay?" She asked with a worried look. I smiled and said, "Yeah. Just had a nightmare. You?" Rainbow frowned even more. "Same here." She said. I gave her a comforting smile and pulled her in for a hug. She returned the hug and sighed. "I needed that." She said with a smile. I smiled back and we broke the hug. Almost immediately, I heard a knock on the door and sighed. "Way to ruin the moment." I joked, causing Rainbow Dash to chuckle. "True. Well, I'll get the door." She said with a smile then she walked downstairs to answer the door. After a minute or so, Rainbow called me. I sighed and walked downstairs. "Is everything okay?" I asked her with a concerned look. Rainbow didn't respond and gestured toward our "guests". I then looked at our guest. They were two royal guards and one unknown pony who had a white coat and a red mane. "Hello." I said as nicely as I can. The unknown pony smiled and said, "Hi. Are you Spectrum?" She asked. I nodded. "Okay, good. Well you have to come with us for questioning, if that's alright." She said with a stern tone. I then became nervous and frowned. "Okay." I said then faced Rainbow Dash. "I'll be back, okay? Don't worry." I said as I pulled her in for a hug. Rainbow returned the hug and after a minute or so, I broke the hug and followed the unknown pony to a chariot. Once we got there, the unknown pony got in first and gestured for me to join her. I nervously entered the chariot and lifted off. There was a bit of an awkward silence until the mare broke the silence with a cough. "Oh! You're probably wondering who I am. My name is Diane Cheery, but everypony calls me DC for short." She said with a smile. I smiled back and shook her hoof. "Nice to meet you." I said. We then made small talk for a while and all of my nervousness left me, until we landed.

DC sighed and exited the chariot. I exited with her and was told to follow her. I nodded and followed her into what looked like an abandoned building. Once inside, the door closed behind us and a room illuminated in front of us, revealing a fancy-looking room and a few decorations that didn't stick out. DC made me walk in and immediately we sat down face to face. "So, as you may know, you recently captured the rapist of Ponyville." She said with a smile, giving me a small hint of pride. I nodded and allowed her to continue, "We are happy that you put him behind bars, but we want to ask you why you destroyed his bodily mentally and physically." I frowned, "You really want to know?" I asked with a hint of sadness. DC nodded and I continued. "Well, he raped my sister and beat her. I felt like I had no other choice. I didn't want to kill him, just teach him a lesson. Why? Is that wrong?" DC shook her head, "No. It's not wrong. We were just worried that you are mentally unstable. That's all. But apparently you're not." She said. "Well anyways, enough about that. We have a surprise for you." She said. "You can come out, now." She said and almost on cue, a white light engulfed the room. Once the light went away, both Princess Celestia and Luna appeared. I respectfully bowed and the Princesses told me to stand. "Hello, Spectrum! We wanted to tell you how thankful we are of you for getting rid of that dreadful stallion and that we have a reward for you." Princess Celestia stated. I smiled and allowed her to continue. "Your reward is this." She said, gesturing towards a piece of jewelry. It was a wedding bracelet with an expensive looking diamond in the middle.

"We knew that you were going to propose to Nurse Redheart and that the wedding bracelet was expensive in Ponyville, so we got you this to save the trouble." I gave them a small thankful gasp and grabbed the wedding bracelet. "Thank you so much." I said with a huge grin. The Princesses smiled, "No problem. And thank you for putting that horrible stallion behind bars." Luna said. I smiled and looked at the time. 7:00 p.m. My eyes widened. This is usually the time where Red and I would eat dinner together. "Excuse me, Princesses. I'm late for something." I said quickly. The Princesses understood and Celestia spoke up, "Wait. You don't have to fly back! I can just teleport you to the hospital." She said calmly as her horn glowed. I smiled. "Thanks again." I said as a light engulfed me.

Once the light released its embrace, I found myself in the front of the hospital. I quickly hid the wedding bracelet and as soon as I hid it, Red came running out of the hospital. "Sorry I'm late. They needed help with some surgery, which was a huge success." She said. I smiled. "It's okay. So, ready to go to Monty's Cafe?" I said with a smile. Red's smile brightened even more and she nodded.

After we ate, we made small talk with Monty and left. Then I got an idea. "Hey, follow me." I said with a smile. Red nodded and she followed me. After a minute of aimlessly walking, I found what I was looking for. It was the only place in Ponyville that really showed off the moon and some other stars. Mesmerized, Red sat down in the bench and began to stare at the stars. I coughed to get her attention and she quickly looked at me. "Sorry. This is just so pretty. I never had the chance to look at the moon like this." She said as her eyes sparkled in the moonlight. I smiled and blushed a bit. After a minute of staring at the stars, I found the courage to propose to Red. I got on one of my hind knees and pulled out the wedding bracelet. Red knew what was going on and tears of happiness began to form in her eyes. I smiled and made a small speech about how she was always there for me and how much I love her. "So, will you marry me?" I asked carefully. Red was now sobbing and she quickly nodded her head. I smiled, bigger that I ever had before and I gave Red a big hug and kiss. And from then on, I knew that we would be together forever.

AN: Yeah, this was my first attempt at a grimdark. I was a little choppy at some parts, because it wasn't planned out like I wanted to. Plus when I actually wrote it down, it wasn't what I wanted to produce. Well anyways, please review, if you want. And PM me too. It doesn't matter! Well, I'm going to upload a couple of one-shots and try to work my way through to a main story. (A story that I upload once or twice every week for a while.) Well, I'll attepmt it. lol. Well, I love you all, no homo, and I'll see you in the next story!
