The Friendship Test: Pinkie Pie's Death
Description
Death by Poisonous/Laughing Gas

-------------------------------------------------------------------SPOILERS-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Sorry I had to spring this one on you all but it was much quieter and easier to place you here myself while you were unconscious.” Starlight’s voice echoed as the four remaining friends slowly regained consciousness. They were no longer standing in the circle but were instead held up by their hooves against the wall, side-by-side. Metal straps held them in place and the strange chamber that held them appeared to be made of reinforced glass. It didn’t take long to notice that it was built for six pony captives, but there were two obvious missing participants.
“Where’s Rainbow? And Applejack?” Pinkie demanded, craning her neck to see if their bodies were still within sight.
“I would refrain from opening your mouth, Pinkie Pie. This is the test of laughter after all. You know, they say that laughter is the best medicine and it can cure any ailment. Well, I’m going to test that with you four ponies. In a few moments your enclosure will be flooded with a gaseous substance of my own creation. It’s a mixture of toxicity and laughing powder that when inhaled will burn through the back of your throats causing irreversible internal damage. It’s mostly attracted to moist places, so breathing through your nose will be painful, but not deadly. If you so much as open your mouth to take a breath I imagine your death will be eminent. You have to suppress your laughter or your screams to live through this one. Clever, isn’t it?”
Starlight didn’t give her test subjects time to answer her rhetorical question. She pulled a lever attached to the side of the chamber and her gas began filling the enclosure. Each pony inside squeezed her eyes and mouth shut making only short deliberate breaths through their nose. The gas burned as Starlight had predicted, though there was the presence of the laughing powder tickling their nostrils and daring them to respond. Starlight observed each pony’s behavior and jotted them down individually in her notes.
Fluttershy’s entire body was shaking and she made occasional whimper noises. Starlight assumed her greatest challenge was not to cry as the moisture would attract the poisonous gas to her eyes. Rarity’s face was turning a sickly shade of red then purple then blue. She was attempting to hold her breath for the duration of this test rather than inhale the gas by any means. Twilight seemed the most calm under the circumstances; she had a thoughtful yet determined look on her face as though she were simply meditating. Pinkie Pie, however, visibly struggled; her body twitched and spasmed as she labored to regulate her breathing.
Mentally, Pinkie was screaming at herself to hold on. She fought more against the laughing powder than the burn in her throat. Pinkie loved to laugh, and she loved to make her friends laugh too. No pony could laugh as long or as hard as Pinkie Pie, with the exception of Rainbow Dash. It seemed like an eternity ago that the pair of them had gone on a pranking spree together, and the deafening thought that it can never happen again tugged at Pinkie’s heartstrings.
Thinking of Rainbow in this moment proved to be her downfall. When the memories and the anguish proved too much, Pinkie cried out with a mixture of a scream and laughter. Knowing she had failed, she embraced her laughter, sucking in more of the poison with each outburst. She clung to the hope of seeing Rainbow Dash again until the poison had done its work leaving the party pony limp and lifeless in her restraints.
Starlight shook her head and glanced at the timer on the wall that her test subjects had missed. With only seconds remaining in the laughter test, Rarity finally had to suck in a breath through her nostrils. Moments before she cried out in shock and pain a bell chimed and the gas receded.
“My that was lucky, wasn’t it Rarity?” Starlight said with a chuckle while the unicorn and her friends gasped for oxygen.
“Pinkie… no…” Twilight sobbed.
Rarity screamed at the sight of their newly departed friend. Her mangled face was a clear depiction of the pain and sorrow she felt at death. Pinkie’s eyes were bulbous and blood-shot with a glassy glaze over the pupils turning them translucent grey. Her mouth hung open showing a great number of boils and blisters lining her cheeks, throat, and tongue. The tears she had wept in her final moments caused a trail of blisters to form down the paths they took on her cheeks.
