## Story

The ponies of Ponyville were hiding in their homes and whispering to each other in frightened tones as three strange mares slowly made their way down the streets of the town. The first pony with some kind of geode as a cutiemark had a wide creepy smile on her face. The second pony with a gold nugget as a cutiemark was smirking and looked very mean as her eyes scanned the citizens of Ponyville, she looked like she was going to attack somepony at any second. The last mare was the creepiest out of the three. She didn’t make eye contact with anypony, but stared at the ground as she walked, but she wasn’t walking like she was shy or depressed, but more like she was full of hatred and malice. The pony with the geode cutiemark walked over to Berry Punch and asked her where she and her sisters can find a pony named Pinkie Pie, and Berry Punch hesitantly told her Pinkie Pie would be at the Ponyville Bakery, Sugarcube Corner. Pinkie, Applebloom, and Derpy were all at Sugarcube corner, playing with Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake while Ms. Cake was baking some pies. Pinkie Pie suddenly hears a loud bang in the front of the bakery, and she tells her friends to stay with the babies. Pinkie goes to the front of the bakery and sees her older sisters, Inkie Pie and Blinkie Pie. She immediately crashes into a group embrace with them. Pinkie then notices there was another pony with her sisters. Inkie and Blinkie tell Pinkie that the third pony with them is their eldest sister, Minkie Pie. This shocks Pinkie, and she has the three girls come to her bedroom so they can tell her the whole story. Blinkie Pie is the one who tells Pinkie how they found Minkie. She and Inkie just got back from selling cupcakes, and they were walking around the farm before their parents put them to work. The girls saw a pile of rocks, and in the pile was a piece of old wood. The two took down the pile and discovered a door to cellar. They opened it up and walked down the stairs. As they got lower into the cellar, they heard a faint voice that scared the cutiemarks off of them. “Mama, is that you? I’m cold,” is what the girls heard. They then looked at each other and ran down the rest of the stairs. The girls see a pony in the dark cellar, a pony named Minkie Pie, and Minkie begs for them to save her. Inkie tells Blinkie to stay in the cellar with Minkie, and runs back up the stairs. She eventually comes back with a cloak, and she has Minkie cover herself up in it. Inkie and Minkie run to the cave where Inkie and Blinkie held their playdates, while Blinkie piled the rocks back up on the cellar door. When Blinkie finished, she ran to cave and joined Inkie and Minkie on one of Inkie and Blinkie’s torture tables they were sitting on. Minkie, who looked like she was minutes from dying, thanks the two for saving her. Inkie Pie then asks Minkie why she was in that cellar, and Minkie tells her and Blinkie that when she was a filly, her parents didn’t like her and thought she was evil because of the way she acted, so they decided to lock her up in the cellar that used to house their mother’s jars of homemad jam, and force her to live down there. She was given a small pillow and a thin sheet of a blanket, but nothing else. Minkie’s mother would bring her small bits of food and empty a bucket that she had to use as a bathroom, and Minkie never saw her father again or even heard his voice. Minkie tried countless times to escape the cellar for nearly a year, but nothing worked. The rocks sitting on the door were too heavy, and Minkie’s mother refused to speak to her, even when she tried to plead to her to let her out. Minkie eventually lost all of her will after a while and decided that she was going to live the rest of her life locked up, and she’d die right there in the cellar. After that thought, she saw a dim flash on her flank. She walked up the stairs to see if she can shine some light on her flank, and she saw a lock cutiemark on it. Minkie curled up in her filthy sheet of a blanket and cried. She cried nearly everyday until, after a few years, all of the sadness left her. She couldn’t feel anything but coldness and hunger, and she never moved unless she had to go to the bathroom in the bucket Minkie’s mom emptied out each time she fed her. When Minkie Pie ended her story, her younger sisters faces were wet with tears. They were softly crying as she told them her story. Inkie and Blinkie hugged her tightly, trying to give her the love she should have had all her life. After a while, the sisters curled up with each other on the table and under the cloak Minkie was wearing and fell asleep. Inkie and Blinkie’s bodies were giving Minkie Pie warmth.

The girls woke up in the evening when they heard their mom calling for Inkie and Blinkie. The two tell Minkie to stay in the cave and they will come back. When Inkie and Blinkie returned to their parents house, they refused to eat dinner and refused to speak them. They were outright disgusted and enraged at what their parents had done to their poor sister. After the family went to bed, Inkie snuck out with a rucksack on her bag full of things to help Minkie though the night. The next morning, Inkie and Blinkie rushed off to the cave before their parents even woke up to make sure Minkie Pie made it through the night. To their relief she did. She even looked a little better. Inkie and Blinkie did there best to restore Minkie’s health and kept her a secret from their parents. They even told Minkie about Pinkie and their baking, and Minkie was intrigued. Minkie started to get her emotions back, but they were filled with hatred and resentment towards their parents, which Inkie and Blinkie didn’t blame her for. Eventually, Minkie told her baby sisters that she wanted to make cupcakes. Pinkie’s eyes her wide, and she had dried tears stuck to the fur on her cheeks. She had been crying as Blinkie told her the story. Inkie then tells Pinkie that the three of them killed their parents and baked their corpses into cupcakes, much to Pinkie’s surprise. Blinkie then hands Pinkie a box from her bag. Inside it was one of the cupcakes the three sisters baked their parents in. Pinkie eats the cupcake, and when she finishes, she and her sisters crash into a group hug. The Pie Sisters were reunited at last.
