- >One day, the mane 6 were all having a picnic.
- >Pinkie Pie brought a huge portion of Jell-O
- >Pinkie Pie was the only pony in Equestria who procecessed, produced, and distributed Jell-O
- >Each of them tried the Jell-O and they loved it.
- >Rarity felt like having the recipe for Jell-O so she asked Pinkie for it.
- >"This Jell-O is delicious Pinkie. Would you mind telling me how to make it?"
- >"I can't tell you that, sorry Rarity."
- >"Why not? I understand you're running a business, but I won't tell anyone. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye."
- >The rest of them Pinkie promised as well.
- >"Okay fine, since you all Pinkie promised. If someone found out, I would probably be shut down forever."
- >They all looked confused at Pinkie's last statement, but ignored it mostly, and kept listening.
- >"Anyways, first you need gelatin. To make gelatin, I usually collect pig skin, or cow hide. You could even use boiled crushed horns, bones, organs, or intestine from some animals–even ponies!"
- >Before she could continue, they all vomited in front of her.
- >"Oh my goodness! Are you guys okay? Oh no, I think I might not have checked for animal disease properly before extracting the gelatin."
- >Some of them vomited some more.
- >"It's not that Pinkie. It just that I can't believe you used animal parts, even possibly pony parts to make this!" Twilight exclaimed.
- >"Oooh. But there's nothing wrong with the Jell-O?"
- >"There is!" They all shouted simultaneously.
- >"Fine. But if you change your mind about the Jell-O, here's some to take home."
- >Each of them took the Jell-O home, to be nice to Pinkie.
- >Twilight went home and inspected the Jell-O
- >She found the Jell-O consisted heavily of proteins from animals, and sugar.
- >She stared at the Jell-O for a while, being tempted to eat it.
- >Eventually she gave in, and tried just a little bite.
- >She then ate all of the Jell-O, but was craving some more.
- >She was still aware of the need for dead animal parts to make Jell-O, so it was difficult accepting what she just ate, and wants to eat.
- >She was able to get past it by convincing herself it was for studying science and friendship.
- >"I'll apologize to Pinkie for rejecting her Jell-O. Then, I'll learn about the details of processing gelatin."
- >Twilight left her house to go to find Pinkie.
- >Before she reached the door of Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie popped her head out the window and shouted to Twilight.
- >"Hey Twilight!"
- >Pinkie dashed downstairs to the door to greet Twilight.
- >"Hi Pinkie. Listen, sorry about—"
- >"Oh don't worry about that. Does that mean you like the Jell-O? Do you want some more? I can finish telling you how! I can even show you!"
- >Twilight thought about that for a moment; she realized she would accompany Pinkie in extracting proteins from animals, which couldn't be done without killing them.
- >However, Pinkie's smile, happy voice and bright mood couldn't let Twilight say no.
- >"Yes, that would be great!"
- >"Then let's get this party started!"
- >Pinkie left the house and started hopping towards the Everfree Forest. Twilight followed.
- >"First, we'll need to collect animal bones, pig skin, and cow hides."
- >Twilight fell into realization. She would have to murder some animals; real living creatures.
- >Pinkie kept hopping and talking, but Twilight couldn't move.
- >She told herself it was for Pinkie, and for science. For Pinkie, and for science. For Pinkie and for science.
- >She took a deep breath and kept walking.
- >She hadn't realized Pinkie had been talking the entire time.
- >"Got it?"
- >"Um, yes."
- >"Alright! You go that way because it's your first time. It's the easy way!. I'll go this way, because I can get more!"
