Stars twinkled above in the bejeweled night sky, their soft light illuminating the planets and other celestial bodies that loomed above Equestria. Their presence like silent and powerful monarchs, the stars guided ponies as they went about their regular night lives. One equine in particular, an earth pony mare with pale yellow fur, slightly less pale pink hair, and lavender eyes; was making her way down the streets of ponyville. She was excited, the local party pony, Pinkie Pie had invited her to Sugar Cube corner to try some freshly baked goods. The mare didn't know what the sweets would be, but she knew one thing; they were made with strawberries, and that was her favorite fruit.
The pretty mare pushed open the bakery's front door, smiling as she called out. "Pinkie? Are you here? I came just like you asked!" Her voice was soft, like powdered sugar on a donut, her overall all look was akin to an earth pony version of Fluttershy.
"Coming!~" Sang Pinkie from the kitchen, she quickly bounced out of the room and toward the other pony, balancing a tray of cupcakes on her nose. "Good starrise to you, Strawberry Cream! How've you been?" Pinkie greeted as she placed the tray on a table, Strawberry Cream stepped into the bakery and followed the pink pony.
"I have been good, thank you for asking! Are those strawberry cupcakes?" She placed a hoof on her cheek in excitement. "They look delicious!"
"Yup-ah-deeny, I baked them JUST for you! Actually, while they are strawberry cupcakes yeah, they also have cream in them as well- I took inspiration from your name~!" Pinkie giggled. "But I don't know if they'll be perfect-ah-rolly for my friends, so since you're the expert, I thought I'd invite you to taste test them!"
Strawberry blushed. "Well thank you Pinkie! That's really sweet of you-" She took a cupcake as she sat down at the table, taking a bite, her grin widening. "These really are delicious! You should add them to the menu!" She gobbled the treat up in an instant, not noticing the pink pony grinning at her with glossy eyes.
"Thank you~ I knew you'd be perfect for this~"
It was after the last swallow when Strawberry Vanilla noticed something off, her throat felt weird; like it was suddenly coated in something thick and dusty. She gave a small cough. "Oh my, I think a bite might have gone down the wrong pipe- Can I have some water?" She asked, looking at Pinkie, who only stood still and smiled back. Her throat tightened and she felt her stomach rumble, she was now having trouble breathing. "P-Pinkie?" The mare asked, starting to panic. She stood up, ready to leave, when she felt her throat close entirely. "MMPH" Her cheeks went red, her legs felt tingly like they'd fallen asleep, she stumbled and looked upward as her vision started to spot. Pinkie grinned down at her, her smile seeming less friendly and more malicious, even though it was the same smile she wore everywhere. "P-" Strawberry Vanilla's head fell to the floor, her breath gone as her heart slowed, tears streaming down from her eyes.
"Perfect indeed." Pinkie said, she grabbed the now still pony and dragged her body across the bakery and behind the counter. The pink earth mare reached into her poofy tail and retrieved a blue crystal, she rubbed it and it glowed, suddenly an enchantment lifted and a cellar door was revealed. Pinkie opened the door, tossed the corpse down the stairs, and entered the cellar, closing the trap door behind her and re-enchanting it once again with the crystal.
She tossed the cadaver onto a table that sat in the middle of the room, it looked dirty with old blood stains, but in reality the whole basement was kept pretty clean. Pinkie Pie took a strange peeler-looking object and placed it to the ponied skull. She slid it down across her face, neck, and chest vertically, slicing down to the mare's crotch. She carefully flipped the body over and did the other side, then with precision she pulled the skin off of the body, officially skinning Strawberry Vanilla. The pink pony took the skin over to a rack with similar skins and set it over the thing to dry, she walked back over to the dead pony and turned it on it's back again.
Pinkie grabbed a saw from a tool box that sat in the far corner, she then grabbed one of her victims legs and pressed the sharp blade to the ponies arm pit. With no flair the killer cut into the flesh with the tool, sawing through the muscle, bone, and then eventually through the rest of the leg until she had cut it clean off. Blood dripped from the table and splattered onto a large metal grate on the floor, slipping into it.
Pinkie cut the rest of the ponies limbs off, then she put the saw to the side, and grabbed a large butchers knife. She skillfully cleaved the the head off of the body, then the party mare sliced the flesh and muscle from the bones, stored the meat in a large freezer, and finally she went to work at pulling the bones apart.
An hour past and finally Pinkie exited the cellar, humming merrily, she walked over to the table and cleaned the cupcakes up- She knew which ones were poisoned and which ones weren't, so she put the poisoned ones away for further use and set the normal ones out for display. Pinkie stepped outside, smiling as she inhaled the fresh air. She turned the sign around to say 'OPEN' and her smiled widened when she saw the first of many customers turn her way and start walking over.
