## Synopsis

*Payback* is the sixth chapter of Muffins, where Derpy enacts revenge on her childhood bully.

## Story

Derpy was humming to herself as she trotted to Sugarcube Corner. She went into the bakery, went into the kitchen and opened a metal door and descended the stairs to the dark basement. Pinkie was down there and setting everything up for Derpy’s playdate. There was a colt named Spectrum tied to the torture table and knocked unconscious. Pinkie then leaves the basement to go see Applejack, and she leaves Derpy to do her playdate with Spectrum. Spectrum eventually wakes up, much to Derpy’s excitement. Spectrum sees Derpy smiling at him and asks her who she is. Derpy then questionably says to him that he doesn’t remember her? Spectrum then recalls that he went to Flight School with her, and they kicked her out cause she was a bad flyer. Derpy then makes him remember that he used to bully her by shouting a specific phrase he would say to her(“Cross eyes, Cross eyes, Derpy has cross eyes, Retard, Retard, Derpy is a retard”). Derpy lets out the loudest, high-pitched, ear-shattering scream she could let out, and Spectrum winched, being force to listen to the scream because he was unable to cover his ears. After screaming, Derpy scolds Spectrum for the way he treated her. Spectrum tries to apologize, but Derpy doesn’t believe he’s sorry, and she’s already decided that she wants to bake him into muffins. Derpy then grabs a scalpel and holds it close to Spectrum’s nose, and beads of sweat form on Spectrum’s forehead as he stares at her weapon. Derpy then shows her childhood bully her homemade scarf made from cutiemarks and tells him she needs more cutiemarks because the scarf is to short. Derpy uses the scalpel to cut of his cutiemarks. When she finished, she waves his cutiemarks in front of his face and tauntingly sings “Blank flank, Blank, flank, Spectrum is a blank flank.” Spectrum tries to plead to Derpy to let him go, but Derpy refuses to, because if she lets him go, she won’t be able to get her muffins or revenge. Derpy then proceeds to grab Pinkie’s favorite hacksaw and uses it to saw off Spectrum’s wings. After she finishes sawing off his wings, Derpy looks at all of her implements, trying to decide what she should use next. Derpy notices the hot coals Pinkie had set up, and decides to use those. She puts a long thin medal rod in the coals so it could heat up. Derpy then finds a very dirty old cloth she can use to hold the hot long thin metal rod. Derpy then goes back to Spectrum and forces his mouth open. She then forces two unfamiliar metal objects into each side of his mouth so his mouth will stay open. Derpy giggles as she grabs the dirty cloth in one hoof, a pair of pliers in her other hoof, and she finally retrieves the rod from the hot coals. Spectrum whimpered as Derpy grabbed his tongue tightly with the pliers and stretched it out as far as it would go. Then she slowly brought the rod to his tongue. Spectrum let out a high-pitched scream as the hot rod came in contact with his tongue and sizzled as it burned the flesh. When Derpy felt the rod cooled down, she tossed the rod away and jerked her pliers away so hard she ripped out his tongue. Derpy then took out the two metal objects that were holding Spectrum’s mouth open. Derpy let out a shriek of laugher as she bucked the pot of hot coals to Spectrum. He screamed as each rock came in contact with his body, leaving scorches in his fur and skin. Derpy picked up a piece of coal in her mouth, not caring that it burned her lips, and shoved it into Spectrum’s mouth. Derpy then blushes and tells him he gave her a kissy in a playful manner. Derpy then proceeded to prance around the room to let out some excitement, and sang Pinkie’s Smile Song while doing so. After singing and prancing, she noticed Spectrum was losing consciousness, so she quickly gave him a shot of adrenaline. Derpy then finds a spool with shiny twine on it. She shows Spectrum the twine and unravels it in from of him. She then cuts 4 long pieces of twine and finds an old dusty yolk. Derpy tied the 4 pieces of twine she cut to the yolk. Then she tied the other ends of the twine to Spectrum’s limbs, and slid the yolk onto her neck. Derpy tugged onto the twine, and the twine sliced Spectrum’s limbs off. Spectrum then began to lose consciousness again, but Derpy quickly gave him another shot of adrenaline. Derpy then gave him a third shot, but instead of adrenaline, it was a paralyzing serum that will keep them from feeling ashy when Derpy cuts him open, and the two can still play while she harvests him. Once the serum kicked in, Derpy used a scalpel to cut him open and she sings a song she made up while dissecting him. After Derpy finishes dissecting him, she thanks the dead pony for muffins. Derpy carried the bucket she put Spectrum’s organs in into the kitchen where Pinkie Pie was waiting. Derpy cuts up Spectrum’s organs while Pinkie goes down into the basement to cut up Spectrum’s remains. When Pinkie returns with Spectrum’s remains, she congratulates Derpy as she did a good job. The two then use Spectrum’s corpses to make freshly baked muffins. Derpy’s become a pro at being a baker.
