The room hums with a kind of lethal silence; and Twilight Sparkle just looks dumbfounded at Applejack. Words elude her as she swims for them, trying to organize the thoughts that buzz in her head like bees. The sobbing of her companion adds to her confusion, and soon the lavender mare finds herself asking the one, most important question. "How did she die?" Applejack pauses from her sobbing, and looks up to the mare with a visage moistened with tears. "Y'all done killed her. S-split er'n two over th' counter."
Twilight feels as if her heart was burned with scalding water. 'I killed my best friend? Why would I do that?' 'How could I do that?' Millions of questions race through her already plagued mind; and it is all she can do not to scream and run away. Sure; that is what she felt like doing right now, but that would not solve anything. "Twilight, I killed her." The voice spoke again, and this time Twilight knew what it was. "WHY WOULD YOU KILL MY BEST FRIEND!? I LOVED HER!" The voice seems to be quieted by this; and before the unicorn can say anything more, Applejack has responded. "It wer'nt me! It were you! You done killed Pinkie!" Twilight shakes her head of the argument, and tries to decipher what had happened. She had heard that voice again; but had Applejack? This was probably not the best time to bring up 'the voice'. Twilight Sparkle looks at Applejack, and shakes her head. "Are you sure it was me? I mean, why in the name of Celestia would I kill Pinkie?" The tearful earth pony chokes out a small answer; and then looks back to the ground. "She was drunk... You... You..." Applejack breathes in heavily, searching for the words that were there, but somehow wouldn't come to her mouth. Instead, she just turns around, and tips her hat brim down. Twilight, still trying to get a grip on what was happening; just looks dumbfounded at the leaving friend. "I.. I..." Applejack pauses for a moment, already halfway out the door. "I'm sorry."
