As Twilight Sparkle finished the note that had been sent to her tears began dripping down her light lavender face.

"Oh Pinkie... No!"

Pinkamena Pie had one of the worst childhoods in the history of Equestria. No smiles, no parties, her abusive father, a mother who didn't care. Yet no one could tell, Pinkie was such a happy pony all the time no one ever knew. Many people believed that she was one of the times never to find love in anypony. From a young age she had no real contact with gentle love, only brutal contact. When she fell in love with the unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, she did not realize she had until much later. Though not many people knew it, Pinkie had a split personality. One was call Pinkamena, the other, Pinkie Pie. The first was known for being a cruel, heartless, hating thing. The other a happy, bubbly, and caring for everything and everyone she knew. No one knew the hurt, the pain, the fear.

"Don't be dead Pinkie, please don't do this. I love you too!" Twilight flew as fast she could, pushing ponies out the way. Bolting the door of Sugar Cube Corner, flying up the stairs, through the door, and bursting into Pinkie's room. She was just in time to see Pinkie collapse onto the floor. There were deep, bleeding marks up and across her legs. The last thing Pinkie saw was Twilight, tears slowly streaking down her face.

"Hello my love", whispered Pinkie.

Pinkie's head then dropped to the ground, and she fell deep deep down into the world of unknown.

"Pinkie Pie is that thou?"

Pinkie raised her head and saw a world unseen to most ponies. It is called Between, as all living things that are between life and death come here. It is the place also Princess Luna spends most of her time, she is the Princess of dreams, and the deepest dreams and nightmares occurs here.

"Princess Luna?"

"Yes Pinkie, it is I, but what is a pony, so happy and joyful, like thou, doing in a place like this? Has some terrible fate occurred to bring you here? If so I can send my sister to help you, but yet I sense already you do not want to be helped Pinkie Pie."

"It's a long story princess, too long to tell, and too painful," was the reply to Luna's question.

"No story is too long, and I have heard much more gruesome and painful stories than yours, I know what ails you Pinkie, remember I am the Princess of Dreams and Nightmares. There is a reason I was called Nightmare Moon."

"Still I don't wish to speak of it. I made my choice, I decided to die. Let me be."

"I see thee don't understand how death works in Equestria Pinkie, before you can die, you must be at peace with all of your life, and you are no where near peace of any sort. I will tell you story about myself Pinkie, and listen carefully. Many people say I became Nightmare Moon only because of my envy towards the day and my sister, but there is much more. I watch every dream ponies have, I see their terrors, I hear their screams. The only time I ruled was the night, and the time that the screams started. I feel their fear. There are wonderful dreams to counteract the terrors, but not enough to block them out. I didn't make Nightmare Moon, I became her. There was too much pain every day. So I became a monster, something that enjoys the fear of others. I wanted to make them suffer for what they did to me. Celestia didn't understand, she had never felt the pain of the dreams, the weight. So she bound me in the moon, imprisoning me with them. When you and you're friends destroyed Nightmare Moon, you destroyed the voices, and the part of me that I had all my life. I was born with a split personalty, like you Pinkie. I thought it would be destroyed when I used the elements, but it wasn't. Only when they were used at me was it destroyed. Don't imprison Pinkamena, destroy her. It's your only hope. You have to end her by knowing what caused her. Who made her?"

Pinkie thought this over in her head. Should she tell her?

"It started when Daddy started beating me, and Mommy stopped caring."
