“Goodness gracious aren’t you in a state Miss Pie!” Berriswainer crouched down to the blood covered pony.
“Call me by my full name, Berry. I want to hear it. This body is mine. Call my name dear Berry.”
Berry smirked and leaned closer to his filly self.
“Pinkamena.”
CH 2: Never tell a lie.
“Hey Ah’ just realized those two pink ponies aren’t here. Where do you think they could have gone off to yall?” AppleJack asked as the others turned away from their doubles to look for their missing friends.
“SugarCube corner most likely.” Twilight answered and Dusk nodded in agreement.
“Well we better go find them before they cause a ruckus!” AJ, trotted towards town, the others following close behind. “We should split up I reckon, though. We shouldn’t all be seen in one place.”
“Right.” They all agreed in unison. It would be strange for others if stallions that looked exactly like this dimension’s representatives of the Elements of Harmony were roaming around in a group with their female selves.
Pinkie opened her eyes looked down towards her hoof and tried to stand but to her shock and horror she could not.
You…You…
Pinkie tried to speak.
“Have complete control of your body? Yes I do.” Pinkamena’s voice came out from Pinkie’s mouth. Same voice yet darker and more sinister. “I realized something Pinkie. I need your mind like I need this body. I couldn’t think clearly with all your visions of gumdrops, balloons and parties. I fell prey to your psyche. But I know now. We HAVE to share this mind in order for me to survive. I need you to act as though nothing is wrong, in order for no one to suspect anything. Who would ever question friendly, sweet, little Pinkie Pie of murder? I need you to stay intact.” Then before Pinkie could answer they heard a voice come from upstairs
“…Yes they were here I believe they went into the basement. I don’t know why though, we never use that place not even for storage.”
“Ah thank you Mrs. Cake.” AJ’s southern drawl was recognized instantly by all four pink personalities.
“Get ready Pinkie.” Pinkamena whispered and Pinkie at once felt her body become hers once more.
Remember Pinkie. You fell down the stairs and Berry was about to get help.
“Haystack you down there?”
“Umm.. Pinkie? Are you down there as well?” Fluttershy’s voice followed, along with a gasp. “Oh my Pinkie what happened to you?!” She flew right to her friend examining her wounds.
“I…fell.” Pinkie sniffled, her head was on fire and her right leg felt broken, when Pinkamena had control Pinkie didn’t feel the pain, she did now. As she winced when AJ lifted up the mare onto his back, Pinkamena’s laughter rang throughout their shared mind.
“I was SOooo worried! I was about to get help when I heard you guys calling!” Bubble Berry looked at Pinkie as if he felt her pain and he did. His eyes were filled with tears and he held Pinkie’s hoof. “Pinkie I’m so sorry.” He whispered. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t want to! He won’t give up on her. I just wanted to be with you! I like you so much Pinkie but we can’t control them we can’t!”
“I can. I will.” Pinkie whispered weakly. “You, I like you too Berry… but I hate him.”

“Your leg is mildly sprained, and you have a slight cut on your head. You’re fine Miss Pie. But you may want to avoid stairs for a while.” The doctor winked at Pinkie and left the room.
“Oh thank Celestia you’re alright!” Rarity hugged the pink pony. “You looked a mess!”
“Yes you looked way worse than you actually were.” Twilight nodded.
Pinkie stayed silent.
“Sugar cube, you haven’t said much are you alright?” Apple Jack asked a worried expression on her face.
“Berry, he didn’t push you did he?” AJ asked leaning on the doorway.
The mares all turned to the orange stallion shocked that he’d say such a thing.
“No.” Pinkie replied bluntly.
“What would make you think he would...?” Twilight trailed off as the stallion walked closer to Pinkie.
“Then why was he apologizin’?” AJ looked deep into Pinkie’s eyes. “Why would somepony apologize for somethin’ he didn’t do?” He paused and then sighed. “Listen darlin’ did he hurt ya in any way?”
“No.” Pinkie answered once again.
“Why were yall down there?”
“I wanted to get something from storage.” She quickly spat out, her heart thumping.
AJ shook his head and looked at Pinkie with doubt.
“Mrs. Cake said they don’t use the place. Not even for storage.”
Pinkie became worried and Pinkamena growled in resentment.
He’s asking too much. He’s becoming a nuisance.
“I…I…” Pinkie had nothing else to say. He caught her in a lie and Pinkie was very frightened but when she was about to speak once again, Pinkamena took over.
“We went down there because we were going to plan for a party! It was supposed be a surprise for you all but Berry and I jumped into one another and I lost my balance.” She laughed her best impression of Pinkie’s laughter and looked at everypony. “I wanted it to be a surprise! But silly, willy, clumsy me just had to fall. I told Berry not to get anyone but you all showed up anyway! It’s not much of a surprise anymore!” she grinned her best grin and everypony laughed.
“I should’ve known it would be something like that.” Twilight and the others sighed at the release of tension from the room.
AJ on the other hand nodded slowly then smiled taking his leave.
“Liar” he whispered under his breath.

Berry sat in the corner of the library, his eyes red from the crying he had been doing, until Spike came up to the Pink pony.
“I just talked to Twilight, Berry. Pinkie’s fine and everypony’s going out to eat lunch at The Hedge. She wanted us to meet them down there.”
“I’m so very glad to hear that.” Berry whispered. “But I’m not hungry.”
She’s not fine and I’m not either. These demons that plague us won’t ever leave us alone.
“Suit yourself.” Spike shrugged and ran out the door, eager to get something in his almost empty little dragon belly.
Berry,Berry Berry. Why must you brood? Pinkie did it to herself you know. Why do you insist on acting the complete opposite way I want you too?!
At that moment the door opened and in walked AJ.
“Hey haystack! How come you ain’t at lunch with the others? You not feeling to well?” He trotted over to the shocked pony.
“Well I…”
“Or are you feeling guilty cause, yer’ lyin to everypony?” Berry’s blood ran cold, as the orange pony got inches from his face. “That little mare fallin’ down the stairs? I don’t buy it. If she’s anything like you, and I know she is, her balance wouldn’t be broken so easily. Why are you fibbin’ Berry? You were talking about another pony! I heard yall. Who did this and why’re you protecting them?”
“Please AJ. Don’t.” Berry knew it well, Berriswainer was about to take over. Tears welled in his eyes and AJ’s demeanor softened.
“Listen haystack, Ah’ don’t wanna be mean to ya. Ah’ just want some answers. Why are you so frightened? Talk to me Berry. Taint’ good to lie to yer friends y’know?”
“Get out.” Berry whispered. “Please…go…away…”
“Not until Ah’ get the truth Berry!”
Berry shuddered and he began to laugh hysterically. His hair was flat and his pupils smaller.
“Aw man AJ! You just won’t give up will you? Of course you DO represent honesty so who can blame you!” The laughing stopped and then he glared at the orange pony. “But you’re beginning to annoy me.”
“B-Berry?” This wasn’t his friend, this was somepony incredibly insane.
Don’t you dare hurt him!
“Hurt him? Oh no, it’s past that point.” Berry grinned wide licking his lips.
AJ backed away from his “friend” and his heart pounded in his chest. Why was he so frightened? This was Berry. This was just Berry. It’s Berry! No matter how many times he told himself this he knew he was lying to himself. This was NOT Berry, not anymore.
“Who the hay are you?!”
“You’re so silly AJ! I’m Berry.”
“No yer somethin’ else! You…” AJ jumped back as Berry bounced foreward.
“Do you want to play a game with me?” Berriswainer ignored AJ’s comments and grabbed Twilight’s letter opener.
For the love of Solaris! Please don’t kill him!
“Let’s play murder! Do you know that game? I chase you and when I catch you, well I believe you can figure out what happens. After all AJ, yer purty smart!” He ended the last part of his sentence mockingly then laughed, his eye twitching.
“You may not be Berry, but you still don’t think things through too well. If you kill me, people will know you did it! And that’s an IF you kill me, Ah’m still stronger ‘Berry’.” AJ chuckled nervously as Berry walked around him forcing him to walk back trying not to get too close to the armed pony.
“You hear that! We don’t think things through Berry! Don’t you think that was rude?” Berriswainer stepped towards AJ, to the southern pony’s horror; he was still planning to attack. “Why don’t you look behind you?”
AJ found himself backed onto the stairs that went down to Twilight’s lab and then, while off guard, he was pushed by the other, sending him tumbling down the first flight.
“Oopsie Daisy! Somepony fell!” Berry said in a sing song voice jumping on top of the orange pony pinning him to the floor, lifting the sharp object above his head, but before he could thrust it into the other’s heart, AJ kicked the pink attacker up into the air, rolling out from underneath him.
Berry gasped as the air was knocked out of him and AJ took off limping, for he had landed on his back hoof and hurt it severely, down the other flights and heading for the back door to the lab. At once Berriswainer galloped after him, opener in mouth. He caught up to the hurt stallion and pounced on him tackling him to the ground.
“Git off! Git OFF!!” AJ struggled and the two rolled around. Frantic the orange pony lifted a hoof to attack but paused seeing his friend, he hesitated to hurt him. But Berry had no such remorse and almost sliced his friends neck wide open if he hadn’t have dodged, causing his hair to be sliced through instead.
“Well that’s one way to get a mane cut!” Berry giggled and AJ scrambled away from him getting closer to the door, to his escape, his freedom when a sharp pain in his back fetlock causing him to crumple to the cold tile floor. “Man AJ you reeeaaallly don’t want to play with me do you?”
AJ gasped at the pain and reluctantly looked at the wound and saw that it went clean through and he slide his back to the wall as Berry stood up. AJ knew it was over when he felt the tendon cut and he looked up towards his reaper.
Berriswainer grinned a Cheshire cat grin lifting up the blood splattered letter opener but his smile was wiped off his face as Berry refused to let him murder his friend.
No! I won’t let you!
The pink pony struggled with his arm trying to bring it down on the horrified orange stallion.
“Let go… Berry!”
“NO!” Berry’s voiced screeched
“Berry! He is a liability! Do you want us to be thrown in prison?! Or an asylum?!”
“I won’t let you murder AJ!”
The pink pony then began to lift the blade to his throat.
“BERRY!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Berriswainer had a look of fear in his maddened eyes
“If this body dies you do too!”
“You WOULDN”T DARE! ”
“Try me! I’m not afraid of you anymore! You won’t kill my friends!”
“I’ll do whatever the buck I want to with your damn friends!” Berriswainer fought Berry’s strength, slammed his hoof back against the wall, making Berry drop his weapon and the pain making him vulnerable just enough for the other to take control again. Then victorious, Berriswainer grabbed AJ by his chopped hair. AJ watched his hat fall to the floor, weak from blood loss he looked up towards him.
“Berry Please, fight him.” AJ whispered.
“He’s not here right now. I’ll give him a message for you.” Berry looked at the shelf above him and grinned. “Oh looky AJ acid! Twilight sure has a lot of dangerous substances down here doesn’t she?” Berry then picked up the opener once again and then placed the opener in AJ’s mouth. “Hmmm. Well Berry doesn’t want you dead, so I’ve decided to just, silence you.”
AJ’s eyes widened as he realized what the pink pony had in mind for him.
“Nogh!!! PWEase!” AJ tried to pull away but Berry jerked the knife cutting the inside of his cheek. He then slammed the orange pony into the wall making, the acid fall on top of the poor pony straight into his eyes.
AJ’s screams chilled Berry to the bone as he watched himself cut out his friends tongue blood spurting as he screamed, the cries were now just muffled. He watched as AJ’s large green eyes vanished in their place crimson tears and empty eye sockets.
“Oh quit being a baby! The acid isn’t strong enough to eat all the way through! You’re so funny AJ!”
