Ah summertime. A time for relaxation, fun, and games. Unless of course you're me.
A golf cart smashes through a sign that says Welcome to Gravity Foals, it drives through the woods, loud hoofsteps are heard behind it and a shadow looms over it. The shadow throws a tree at it, driving it is a lavender Alicorn mare with a purple mane baring a magenta streak down the middle, and the same pattern on her tail. Beside her sits a pink Earth Pony mare with a poofy mane colored a slightly darker shade of pink, and both of them are screaming like a three year old filly being read 'The Story of Slender-Mane'.
The one on the right is me, Twilight Sparkle. The one sitting next to me looking like she's about to puke is my sister, Pinkie Pie. I'm sure you're wondering what were doing in a golf cart fleeing from a creature of un-imaginable horror. Rest assured, there's a perfectly logical explanation..

It all started a few weeks after the whole 'human world' incident, when Trixie, Big Mac, and Flash Sentry got the idea to start a tourist trap. So they left and nobody saw them again. Now, let's fast forward about a month. I always knew I was a triplet. and that my sisters had been foalnapped at birth, but now I could actually do something about it. I decided to find my sisters by using an ancient spell called a 'blood summoning ritual' that summons anypony related by blood, of the casters choice, to their location. Anyway. Pinkie Pie and Trixie showed up, and Celestia freaked out and banished us to small town on the northwest edge of Equestria called Gravity Foals, turns out Trixie had opened up that tourist trap she wanted too. She had transformed an old house into a store called 'The Mystery Shack', the real mystery was why anypony came. We went to work there, and it looked like it was going to be the same boring cycle for the rest of our lives. Until one fateful day...
Inside The Mystery Shack, Pinkie Pie is staring at a brown unicorn colt with an orange mane from behind a desk with a linge of Trixie bobbleheads on it, the colt is levitating a small piece of paper in a red aura. "He's looking at it! He's looking at it!"
The colt unfolds the piece of paper and reads "Would you like to go out with me, yes, certainly, absolutely?"
Pinkie Pie giggles as she whispers "I rigged it!"
Behind her Twilight was cleaning a jar of fake eyeballs (although the customers didn't know they were fake) with hare magic, she rolled her eyes, having gotten used to Pinkie's new-found obsession with colts that she'd formed over the few weeks they'd been away from Ponyville "Pinkie, I know your going through a whole 'Colt Crazy' phase now, but I think your overdoing it a little on the crazy part."
"Oh come on Twilight! Were not in Ponyville anymore, I have a whole new town to make friends with! So why not make my first new friend a REALLY SPECIAL friend!"
Twilight felt like face-hoofing "But do you HAVE to flirt with every colt we meet?"
"I do not!"
FLASHBACK
Pinkie Pie jumped out behind a bench where a green pegasus colt with a black mane was trying to eat a cupcake. "You like cupcakes!? I like cupcakes!? What is happening here!?"
ANOTHER FLASHBACK
A dark purple unicorn colt with a yellow mane stood in front of a mattress store yelling "COME ONE! COME ALL! TO THE MATTRESS PRINCE'S KINGDOM OF SAVINGS!" Pinkie Pie popped out behind him whispering "Take me with you!!"
FLASHBACK END
"Mock all you want sister, but I've got a good feeling about this summer! I wouldn't be surprised is the pony of my dreams walked though that door right now!"
At that moment Trixie walked through the door, in all her light blue glory Pinkie Pie face-hoofed "Oh why?..." Twilight couldn't help but chuckle a bit.
"Alright everypony, Trixie needs somepony to go hammer up these signs in the spooky part of the forest." Trixie levitated some signs that had been next to door into the air. A chorus of 'not me' erupted around the room.
Trixie sighed "Nobody asked you Big Mac"
"Eeyup, and Ah'm comfortable with that" Big Mac said smiling and eating a chocolate covered apple
Trixie rolled her eyes "Flash, Trixie needs you to hang up these signs"
Flash moaned fakely reaching for the sign while focused on his book "I.. Would... Can't reach..." If you looked closely you'd see a smirk cross his face.
Trixie scowled "Trixie would fire both of you if she could. Ok.." she lifted her hoof into the air and began randomly pointing "eenie meanie miney... Twilight, go do it!" she tossed the signs between Twilights wings.
Twilight groaned and turned torwards her sister "Trixie, whenever I'm in those woods I feel like i'm being watched, it's like the Everfree only... So mus]ch worse..."
"Ugh, this again."
"I'm telling you, something's off in this town, just today, the dew on the window spell out 'beware'." Twilight protested.
Trixie face-hoofed, then pointed at the window above the counter "First off, that saws BEWARB, second... Look sis, the whole monsters in the forest thing is local legend made up by ponies like Trixie, to sell stuff to ponies like that." She pointed across the room where a changeling drone was laughing hysterically at a Trixie bobblehead "So stop being so paranoid!"
Twilight sighed in defeat, taking the signs and leaving.
- Hello, I'm a line break. -
Twilight sighed as she put up a sign on a tree using her magic, the sign read in big blue letters 'TO MYSTERY SHACK'. As she went to put up the next one, the nail hit the tree with a loud metallic thump! She tapped the nail on the tree three more times, each gaining the same result. Wiping away the dust with her hoof, she felt a small opening in the side of the tree, upon opening it she found a box with a small dark glass screen on the side, and several switches and levers, she began randomly flipping switches, waiting for something to happen.
A low groan sounded behind her, as she turned around she noticed part of the ground had opened up, she ran over to it, looking in she found an old book "What the?"
She quickly levitated the book out with her magic, and flipped it opened to the first page "It's hard to believe it's been six years since I started studying the strange and wondrous secrets of Gravity Foals, Equestria... What is this?" One of the pages she noticed more had said 'TRUST NOPONY!!!' She continued reading "Unfortunately, my suspicions have been confirmed, I'm being watched, I have to hide this before SHE finds it. Remember, in Gravity Foals there is nopony you can trust..."
"Nopony you can trust..."
"HELLO!" Pinkie Pie said, popping out from the log and successfully making Twilight scream "Watchya readin? Some egghead thing?
Twilight hid the book under her wings an quickly stuttered "Uh... Uh... It's nothing!"
Pinkie began giggling "'Uh... Uh... It's nothing!'" She said mocking her sister "Come on, are you actually not gonna show me!"
Twilight looked down and said "Lets go somewhere private..."
- My name is also Line Break, would you like some coffee? -
"So, Trixe said I was just being paranoid, but according to the book Gravity Foals has this secret dark side!" Twilight was currently telling Pinkie Pie. She levitated it up to her sisters face so she could see better.
Pinkie grinned widely "Whoa! Shut up!"
Twilight grinned pulling the book back "And get this, after a certain point the pages just stop, like the pony writing it just mysteriously disappeared!" And thats when the doorbell rang "Who's that?"
"Well, time to spill the beans!" Pinkie tipped over an empty can of beans that had appeared seemingly from nowhere on the stand next to her "Whoop! Beans. This silly filly's got a date! WOOP WOOP!"
Twilight actually had to levitate her mouth closed "Wait a minute, in the half hour I was gone you ACTUALLY managed to get a coltfriend!?"
Pinkie smiled and shurgged "What can I say? I guess I'm just irresistible!" The doorbell rang two more times and Pinkie ran out of the room to answer it saying "Oh, coming!"
Trixie walked in and addressed Twilight "What you reading princess purple?" Twilight quickly hid the book behind her wing and levitated a magazine on the floor to her face.
"Oh um... Just catching up on..." She closed the magazine to see the cover "Get Rich Quick Schemes For Teenage Mares Magazine?"
Trixie grinned "That's a good issue." Twilight kept on pretending to read the magazine.
Pinkie Pie came hopping in and yelled "Heeey family!" her two sisters turned their attention to the door "May I introduce my new coltrfriend!"
A tan unicorn colt with a brown mane wearing a black jumpsuit entered the room "I'm...Normal..."
Pinkie giggled "He means Norman"
Twilight raised her eyebrow noticing a speck of red on Normans cheek "Are you... Bleeding Norman?"
Norman looked around nervously and replied "It's... Jam..."
Pinkie gasped as she seemingly hovered into the air "I love jam!" She nudges Normans hoof a bit.
Norman quickly looked around and said "So.. Wanna go hold hooves or... Whatever..."
Pinkie's grin only grew and her tail began spinning like a helicopters blade "Yes! Yes! Don't wait up girls!" She literally flew out of the room like a torpedo.
Norman turned around and smacked into a wall before following Pinkie out of the room, although five seconds later the sound of glass shattering was heard.
There was something about Norman that wasn't right, I decided to consult the journal.
Twilight sat in an empty room of the shacks attic, she was reading the book, looking for clues on what - or who - Norman could be. Finally, she landed on a page that was a near dead match "Aha! Known for their pale hair and bad attitudes, these creatures are often mistaken for... Teenagers! Beware of Gravity Foals nefarious..."
The book feel to the floor, and a cry of "ZOMBIE!!!!" could be heard throughout the shack, somewhere in the house, Trixie mistook the word for 'Crombie' and commented that she was losing her mind because the word didn't exist.
Back in the attic, Twilight was looking out the window in fear at Norman who was inching torward Pinkie "Oh no! Pinkie!!! No! No! Pinkie ,watch out!"
Norman lifted presented Pinkie with a daisy necklace and she responded by giggling.
Twilight turned around and sighed "Is my sister really dating a Zombie, or am I just going nuts!?"
A voice with a distinct southern drawl answered from above "It's a dilemma to be sure."
Twilight looked up to see Big Mac on a ladder replacing a light bulb, he looked down at her and said "Ah couldn't help but hear yah talkin' to yerself in this empty room."
Twilight sighed "Big Mac, You've seen Pinkie's coltfriend, he's got to be a Zombie right!?"
Big Mac smiled "Look Twi, Ah believe ya, Ah'm always noticin' strange things in this town. Like the mailmare, I'm pretty sure she's a changeling"
FLASHBACK
An all black green eyed pegasus mare with blue saddlebags passes by Big Mac who is eating an apple on a nearby bench. He scoots over to the other end of the bench.
END FLASHBACK
"But yah gotta have evidence. Otherwise ponies are gonna think yer a major league cuckoo clock."
Twilight smiled "You're right, thanks Big Mac."
Big Mac got down from the ladder and said "Mah wisdom is both a blessin' and a curse."
At that moment, Trixie's voice sounded from the hall "MAC! THE PORTABLE TOILETS ARE CLOGGED AGAIN!"
"Ah'm needed elsewhere." And with that, Big Mac left the room.
My sister could be in trouble, it was time to get some evidence.
One montage of spying on Pinkie and Norman later, the lavender alicorn seemingly had nothing but a video camera with full memory
I'd seen enough.
Twilight ran into hers and Pinkies room in the attic and yelled "Pinkie! We've got to talk about Norman, he's not what he seems!"
Pinkie Pie gasped excitedly "You mean he's like some kind of Vampony? That would be so cool!"
Twilight shook her head "Guess again sister! Sha-bam!" Aaand she had flipped opened the Gnome page "Oh, sorry. Sha-bam!" She opened the Zombie page.
Pinkie frowned "A Zombie? That's not funny you silly filly!"
Twilight quickly started rambling "I'm not kidding Pinkie, it all adds up! The bleeding, the limp, he never blinks! Have you NOTICED that, not blinking at all isn't scientifically possible, HE is not scientifically possible!"
Pinkie sighed "Maybe he's blinking when your blinking! That'd make sense!"
Twilight grabbed Pinkie with her magic and said "Remember what the book said, TRUST. NOPONY!"
Pinkie broke out of the magical aura by twirling her tail around violently for a few seconds "What about me Twilight? Why can't you trust me?" Her mane flattened a little, but quickly poofed back up as she put on a star shaped necklace "Beep! Bop!"
Twilight was beginning to panic "Pinkie! Please just listen!"
Pinkie Pie's coat visibly grayed and her mane flattened "Look Twilight! Me and Norman are going on a date at five o clock, and I'm NOT going to let you ruin it with one of you're STUPID CONSPIRACIES!" And with a small poofing noise she was back to her same old cheery self, hopping out the room and closing the door behind her.
Twilight sighed, turning to the video camera where the footage was replaying on a small screen.
Meanwhile, Pinkie was meeting Norman on the edge of the forest "Hey Norman, how do I look?"
Norman spotted the necklace "Shiny..."
They went deeper into the forest until they found a clearing, Pinkie grinned "Finally, were alone..."
Norman looked down "Yes... alone."
Back at the Mystery Shack, Twilight was re-watching the video footage "Big Mac is right, I don't have any REAL evidence. I guess I can freak out sometimes and -Wait WHAT!!"
On the video, she had just seen Normans hoof fall off and get levitated back to his jumpsuit sleeve, this time staying on. She. Was. Freaking. OUT!
"TRIXIE!!! TRIXIE!!!" She yelled running outside only to see her second sister introducing some tourists
"And here, we have 'Rock That Looks Like A Face Rock' is it a rock? Or is it a face?" Trixie was saying to the tourists. Several hooves went up and she pointed to one "Yes?"
"Does it look like a rock?"
"No it looks like a face!"
"Is it a face?"
Trixie face-hoofed and groaned "No, it's a rock!" Twilight then ran, leaving Trixe to be bombarded by the insane crowds questions. She ran into Flash who was getting out of the golf cart "Flash, Flash, I need to borrow the golf cart!"
Flash shrugged and got out, leaving the keys in the ignition. Twilight got in and started driving away when Big Mac stopped her "This is for the Zombies." He handed her a shovel "And this is incase you see a pinata." He handed her a wooden bat.
"Thank's Big Mac" Twilight yelled as she drove away.
Back in the woods, Norman was now standing on his hind legs "Pinkie, I've... Got something to show you, now just keep an open mind ok."
Pinkie was smiling "Anything for you Norman..."
Norman unzipped his jumpsuit and let it fall back to reveal... Gnomes. A bunch of mini unicorn colts in gnome outfits with beards "Is this too weird? Is it? Too much weirdness?... Anyway... Were gnomes! I'm jeff, this guy here is Jason, theres Carl, Steve, Derek, Rogers, and... Sorry, I ALWAYS forget your name."
"Severlock"
Jeff smiled "Yes, Severlock. Anywya, us Gnomes need a new queen! So, what do you say, will you join us in holy matri-gnomey, sorry matrimony, bleh, I can't talk today! "
Pinkie shuffled awkardly "Look guys, I'm sorry but... I'm a mare and your... Gnomes... And it's like, Whaat? You get it right?"
Jeff closed his eyes "We understand. We'll never forget you Pinkie Pie... Because were gonna foalnap you."
Pinkie's eyes widened "Wait, WHAT!?"
The gnomes lunged at her.
- I'm the Line Break, I'm back from lunch. -
Twilight drove the cart through the woods recklessly "Don't worry Pinkie! I'll save you from that Zombie! Also I should have learned how to drive!"
In the distance Pinkie screamed "HELP!"
"Hold on!"
Twilight pulled up to see the Gnome known as Steve help to restrain Pinkie's front left hoof "What the hay is going on here!?"
Pinkie yelled "Twilight! Norman turned into a bunch of Gnomes and now their trying to marry me!"
Jeff chuckled and tried to explain "You see you're sisters not in any trouble, she's just marrying all one thousand of us and become our gnome queen for all eternity."
"YOU COLTS ARE FLANK FACES!" A gnome put a cork in Pinkie's mouth, if you looked closely you would have noticed her coat starting to gray.
Twilight levitated the shovel she brought and began trying - and to some extant succeeding - to threaten the gnomes "Give her back right now! I already lost her once, I'm not losing her again!"
Jeff scowled "You think you can stop us filly? The Gnomes are a powerful race! All hail the gn-" Jeff got hit in the head with the shovel, that proceeded to cut Pinkie free of the ropes holding her down, he managed to get to his feet in time to see Twilight and Pinkie drive away in the golf cart "Their getting away, Gnomes of the forest, ASSEMBLE!"
Pinkie was frantic "Hurry, before they come after us!"
Twilight grinned "I wouldn't worry about them, their so small they couldn-" she was cut off be massive hoofsteps chasing them.
Jeff, on top of a massive pony shape pile of gnomes was saying "Alright gnomes, team work just like we practiced!"
Pinkie screamed "MOVE! MOVE!"
They quickly took off, but Severlock jumped on Twilights face "AAHHH"
"I'll save you Twilight!" she kept hitting the Gnome until it was thrown off Twilight and out of the cart. They were chased back to The Mystery Shack where the cart crashed. they backed up against the wall pointing the shovel at the knomes "Where's Trixie!?"
Inside the shack Trixie was finished the tour with the worst thing possible "Behold! The worlds most distracting object!" She turned it on, catching the full attention of everypony in the room... Including her.
Back outside, Pinkie stood up "I gotta do it."
Twilight gasped and protested "Pinkie! No!"
Pinkie ignored her looked up to the gnomes "Alright Jeff, I'll marry you."
Jeff was so excited he hopped down the giant gnome-pony "Alright, let's get you back to the forest and-"
"You may kiss the bride!"
Jeff smirked "Don't mind if I do!" He turned around... And got sucked into the leaf blower.
Pinkie proceeded to set the leaf blower in reverse and shoot the gnome-pony, scattering the gnomes that made it up around the yard, the gnomes proceeded to panic and run away "Um.. Hey Twilight, I'm sorry for ignoring you're advice..."
Twilight smiled and replied "That's okay... Look on the bright side, next time it might be a vampony!"
Pinkie grinned at this remark "Awkard sibling hug?
"...Awkard sibling hug."
They hugged patting eachothers back and saying 'pat pat'
Later in the store, they were about to go upstairs when Trixie stopped them "Hey, uh... Why don't you each take something from the shop, it's free!"
Twilight raised her eyebrow "The catch?"
"The catch is do something before Trixie changes her mind, now go!"
Twilight picked out a blue and white hat with a pine tree on it, and Pinkie Pie picked out a grappling hook, despite her two sisters attempting to change her mind.
That night, Twilight and Pinkie sat across from eachother in their seperate beds, Twilight was writing in her journal.
This journal said there was nopony in Gravity Foals I could trust. But when you know someone long enough, and battle enough deranged villains side-by-side with them, I think it's safe to say they've pretty much always got you're back.
"Hey could you get that light?"
Pinkie grins "I'm on it!" Pinkie fires her grappling hook, effectively destroying the lamp. "It works! Haha, grappling hook."
Trixie told us there would be nothing strange about this town, but who know what other secrets are just waiting to be unlocked.
Meanwhile, Trixie walks into the mystery shack with her horn lit up, she closes the door behind her, going into the main store, she types a random code into the vending machine, which proceeds to move to the side revealing a secret staircase, she goes behind it, pulling it closed with her magic as she walks into the newly revealed room...
Wax sculptures can be murdered... Who knew?
Chapter 2: Wax sculptures can be murdered... Who knew it was possible.
"I'm afraid you're services won't be required here sir, I've examined the evidence and this clearly, an accident."
Twilight and Pinkie Pie were currently sitting in the Mystery Shack's living room, watching a show called 'Goose Detective' on television.
On television, a completely brown, blue eyed colt in a Hoofdon cop uniform was standing next to a goose in a Sherlock Hooves costume that was WAY too big, behind them was a wax statue crushed under a blue police box from the 960's. The goose honked, the subtitles translating into "Was it an accident constable? Or was it... murder!" The cop gasps dramatically and the TV is switched off.
Pinkie Pie was grinning widely, as usual, as she commented "He must be some kind of super-goose! SUPER GOOSE, HE SAVES THE DA-"
Twiligh cut her off by putting her hoof in Pinkie's mouth "Actually Pinkie, he finds clues so easily because he's closer to the ground, it's only natural he'd notice small details we couldn't."
Pinkie pouted as they left the room and walked down the hall. After about fifty seconds, they found Big Mac staring a spot where the wallpaper had been stripped away, revealing a door. Pinkie smiled and asked "Watch'ya doing staring at that door Big Mac!"
Big Mac nodded towards the door and answered "Ah was clean'n up, and found this here door." He pushed it open, revealing a large dusty room filled with wax sculptures, the only source of light a small window on the far wall "Seem's like one of them places in horror movies where the side character dies in the first five minutes."
They went inside the room, Twilight lighting her horn so they could see better, and began looking around "What's with all the wax statue's, it's really creepy..." The alicorn mumbled to herself.
Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie was poking all the statues "They all seem so life like! Hmm... Well, except that one." This time, the statue she poked actually moved "EEK!"
Twilight aimed her horn into the corner Pinkie was in, revealing Trixie was standing there.
"How did you get in here!?"
Youtube Video
Trixie smirked, holding back a small laugh and said "Behold, the Gravity Foals wax muesem! It was one of our biggest attractions, until Trixie forgot all about it... It's got everypony! General Hurricane, Firefly, Surprise, Sherlock Hooves..." Trixie pointed out the statues as she listed them all, finally stopping on a pile of melted wax under the opened window "...And over here, Trixie's personal favorite, Wax Polkadotis!" She stared at the pile of waxs, stunned, before shaking it off and facehoofing, while a small frown forming on her face "Who left the blinds open!?
Pinkie smiled, running over to Trixie and patting her on the head, she told her "Aww, don't worry! Just to make you smile, I'll make a new statue out of all this old, melted, wax!"
Trixie raised a non-existent eyebrow and replied "You can actually do that? Trixie thought you were a baker..."
The pink earth pony gasped and said "I'm not just a baker Trixie! I have to make EVERY pony smile! So I have to be good at everything! That makes sense right?"
Trixie smiled and replied "I like you're gumption, sis!"
"I don't know what that word means, but thank you!"
Later, in their room Pinkie was working on idea's. She shoved a drawing in Twilight's face and asked "Twilight! Look at this, my sculpture idea! It's part flutterpony princess, and part cyborg prince!"
Twilight pushed the drawing away, saying "Pinkie... Maybe you should carve something from REAL life! Like a friend, a pet, someone from you're family?"
At that moment, Trixie's voice echoed through the shack "HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HAT?"
Pinkie's eyes gre wide, and she could've sworn she heard singing. So over the next five hours, and one montage later, she built an exact wax duplicate of... Trixie. When it was done, she, Twilight, and Big Mac were standing in front of it. Pinkie commented "I think... It needs more glitter!"
Big Mac nodded, handing her a bucket of white glitter, which she thre onto the statue. Trixie came in, her hat found one more, saying "I found my hat but now my capes gone..." She stood in front of the statue, gawking at the amazing wax duplicate of her, hat, cape, and all, smothered in white glitter.
Pinkie grinned nervously asking "Sooo.... What do you think? DO YOU LIKE IT?"
When Trixie regained her bearings, she grinned widely and said "Trixie thinks, It's the most beautiful thing Trixie has ever seen!"
The next day, a stage was set up outside the mystery shack, Trixie had managed to somehow get everyone in town to come to the event, she even bribed Twilight and Flash. When the crowd was full, Trixie walked out on stage, with a new hat and cape, both silver with gold stars, and said "Ponies of Gravity Foals, surely you all remember the Great and Mysterious Trixie! Town mare of mystery, colts mare, please, stallions, contorl yourselves, Trixie knows you admire her beauty and power! But enough about Trixie, behold, THE GREAT AND GLITTERFUL TRIXIE!"
As the statue was wheeled out on stage, there was murming in the crowd, an old changeling stallion covered in wrinkles, with a white cast around his left hoof and a white mane and beard stood up, raising his bad hoof. Trixie pointed at him and he introduced himself "Old Colt Macbucket, former warrior in the Gravity Foals Changeling Swarm and local cook. Are the wax figures alive, and follow up question, can I survive the wax colt uprising!?"
Trixie had a 'u serious?' look on her face, so she chose the easy way out and said "Yes... Trixie thinks you would be able to survive such an event... Next question please!"
The next hoof that went up belonged to a young cream colored pegasus mare with brown eyes, a lime green mane and a newspaper cutie mark who was holding a microphone, Trixie pointed to her for the question and the pegasus asked "Yes, I'm Maretha Jane, you're flyers promised free haycon with admission to this event, is this true?"
Trixie froze up, stuttering for a few minutes before nervously chuckling and saying "That was a typo. Thank's for coming everyone, BYE!!" She teleported off stage, taking the scuplture and the jar of bits from the admission table with her, as a riot erupted over the lack of free haycon.
LATER...
A scream echoed through the shack, and everyone rushed to he living room, only to find Trixie standing over the now headless body of her wax duplicate "Wax Trixie... SHE'S BEEN MURDERED!!"
- I am a line break, with this message: Are sick of pigs constantly blocking your driveway? Well then you gotta get pig pail! Line break over. -
The town cops, a a black pegasus colt with a white mane, and a police badge cutie mark wearing dark sunglasses and a police hat, and... Derpy Hooves in a police uniform, as Trixie told that she had gotten up to use the bathroom, and come back to find the statue decapitated, the colt nodded, taking notes on a pieace of paper he had pulled from nowhere. The colt pulled a coffee from nowhere, and began sipping it after saying "I hate to break it too you, but this case is just unsolvable."
Twilight protested "But there has to be evidence! No case if unsolvable, and sculptures don't just decapitate themselves... Unless it's Discord, and I still don't know how he did it that one time!"
After several insults one the part of the pegasus colt, and Derpy mindlessly commenting that she sneezed like a kitten, Twilight was more determinated to solve that case than ever... After some investigating, and finding an axe behind the couch in the living room, Twilight and Pinkie thought they had found the culprit. They rushed out of the Mystery Shack, telling Trixie where they were going, who only replied "Sounds like something a responsible parent wouldn't want you doing. Good thing Trixie is you're sister! Go and avenge Trixie's beauty!"
As the sun went down, they arrived at a biker club in downtown Gravity Foals. Where a large brown stallion that had apparentally shaved his mane off, had just rejected a gold miner entrey saying "Sorry, we don't serve miners."... And he immediatly fell for their fake ID's.
While Pinkie got caught up reading somepony's hoof, Twilight managed to locate the town lumberjack, a large buff white pegasus stallion with nearly microscopic wings, who was currently beating up a machine. When Twilight confronted him about it, he stopped his beating on the machine and replied "Listen giant talking purple grape!"
"Actually i'm-"
"I wouldn't pick my teeth with that axe! It's left hoofed, I use my right hoof. The TOUGH hoof!"
A little later, after reviewing suspects to see if they were left hoofed, al but one was a dead end...
They were currently outside the office of the Gravity Foals Whisperer, the police were with them, and the rude pegasus colt said "You'd better be right about this, or else..."
Derpy giggled and said "I get to use my muffin stick!" She then pulled a nightstick with blueberry muffins stuck to it.
They entered the building, and jumped out at a nerdy brown earth pony colt with a blue mane and grey eyes and a camera cutie mark, who was wearing glasses too big for his face. Twilight pointed a hoof and said "Moby Determinated, you're under arrest for the murder of Wax Trixie!"
The colt stutered "I- I don't understand!"
Twilight grinned and said "Allow me to explain... You were hoping Trixie's new attraction would be a story capable of saving you're newspaper, so you went out and made yourself a new storyline. But you were sloppy, and you got yourself caught, left-hoofed!"
Moby chuckled "I had notihng to do with that murder!"
Twilight stuttered "Wait what?"
The police colt asked "Then where were you the night of the break in?"
Moby proceeded to show them a horrifying video of him dancing, with a cardboard cut out of female news report Maretha Jane...
The police colt nodded saying "The timeframe checks out, you freak of nature..."
Twiligh frantically levitated to the axe up to him and siad "Check for hoofprints, there's gotta be something!"
It was later revealed the axe was free of hoofprints... And Twilight and Pinkie went home very shortly after being insulted by the cops once more.
Later, in the Mystery Shack parlor, the sculptures had been put into seats and everyone was standing in front a coffin, containing the body of Trixie's wax sculpture. Trixie was giving her speech, finishing up with "Trixie will miss you Wax Trixie, she hope's you're showing off in wax heaven!"
Twilight sighed as Trixie and Big Mac left "Those cops were right about me..."
Pinkie Pie put a hoof on her shoulder and said "Twilight! We've already gotten so far! We can't stop now!"
Twilight sighed, before she noticed something "Wax Trixie's front hooves have holes in them..."
Pinkie giggled "Yea, all wax ponies have that that way the can go on the stand-thingies!"
Twilight thought for a moment and gasped suddenly, looking directly into Pinkie's eyes "Wait... What has holes in it's front hooves, and NO hoof prints! Pinkie, I don't know how it's possible, but the murderers are - "
Suddenly, the wax Sherlock Hooves stood up and said "Right behind you..." He walked torwards them "Congratulations, my amature slueths, you've unburried the truth. And now were going to bury you..." He said, the other wax sculptures getting up and standing behind him as he spoke.
- FEAR ME, I AM A LINE BREAK -
"Bravo, Twilight Sparkle. You've discovered our little secret. Applaud everypony. Applaud." The figures began clapping "No, do it sarcastically, that sounds too sincere, do it slower, slow clap." The scupltures obeyed.
Pinkie raised a non-existent eyebrow asking "Are you some kind of magic-y thingy?"
Wax Sherlock Hooves laughed saying "Magic? She wants to - HAHAHA - know if were magic.." he lunged and pinned both mares down "Yes! In fact were cursed. Cursed to come to life when to moon is waxing... You're sister bought us when she first came to Gravity Foals, at a haunted garage sale..."
*FLASHBACK*
A rich stallion with a white coat and blonde mane with a gold coin cutie mark, wearing a suit said "I must warn you, these statue's come with a terrible price!"
Trixe gasped looking at the price tag "20 bits!? Nevermind, Trixie will take them when you aren't looking."
"What?"
"Trixe said she was going to rob you."
*END FLASHBACK*
"And the Gravity Foals wax collection was started, by day, we were the play things of ponies. But when the sun set, we ruled the night! It was a charmed life for us cursed beings, that is... Until Trixie closed up shop... We've waited an entire year to get back at that con-mare unicorn for locking us away!... But we got the wrong filly..."
*FLASHBACK*
Sherlock cuts the head off Wax Trixie, dropping his axe and running off with his prize when he hears the real Trixie coming back.
*END FLAHSBACK*
Twilight gasped and said "You mean... You were trying to murder our sister for REAL!?"
Pinkie gulped and repled "You were right, wax people ARE creepy..."
Wax Sherlock said "Enough! Now that you know our secret, you. Must. Die!"
Panicking, Twilight threw a cup of coffee from a nearby table onto the nearest statue, flinching when it melted.
Pinkie gasped saying "That's it! we can melt them with hotty melty things!"
Pinkie grabbed a candle and Twilight lit her horn saying "One step closer and we'll melt you into candles!"
"Decorative candles!" Pinkie followed up.
Wax Sherlock Hooves got out his magnifying glass and said "You really thing you can defeat us!?"
The two mares looked at each other and said at the same time "Yea... I guess, maybe?"
Wax Sherlock Hooves chuckled and replied "So be it. ATTACK!"
And the epic Battle of Wax began. Twilight use a candle made up of magic to decapitate Perry King, melt several wax figures, and Pinkie used her candle like a light-saber to completely destroy the sculptures in her path. Twilight eventually led Wax Sherlock Hooves onto the roof.
"You really think you can defeat me? I'm Sherlock blazing Hooves! Look at my magnifying glass, it's freaking huge!!" He said holding up said item... And allowing the sun to come through it, and begin melting his hooves. "What? Outmsarted by a teenager who looks like a giant purple grape! No... Noooo!!"
Twilight grinned "Letting me lead you outside probably wasn't the best idea." She told him, sneezing as some wax got into her noze
The melting head of Wax Sherlock Hooves said "Those cops were right, you sneeze like a kitten! You're adorable, ADORABLE..." And with that, the leader of the wax sculptures was done.
Back in the parlor, Pinkie Pie was throwing Wax Lakespere's head into the fireplace.
Twilight came in aksing "Did we get all of them?"
Pinkie nodded "I am 99% sure!"
Twilight nodded "Good enough for me!"
At that moment, Trixie came in, gasped, and yelled out "MY PARLOR!"
Pinkie, smiling as always told her "Guess what, you're wax figures turned out to be evil so we fought them to death!"
Twilight nodded "I decapitated Perry King."
Twixie chuckled and grinned "You and you're imaginations..."
Pinkie then remembered "Oh, and look what we found!" she said, throwing the head of Wax Trixie to the real Trixie.
Trixie stood shocked, before hugging the wax head "My head! I've missed this filly... You've done good girls... Okay, line up for some affectionate noogieing!!"
Just then the cops showed up at the window the colt saying "Well, grape-filly, did you solve that case yet? And I'm so confident you're gonna say no, I'm just gonna take a long, slow sip of my coffee." He pulled a coffee out of hise saddlebag and slowly drank it.
Twilight smirked "Actually, yes!"
After several spit-takes, and some stuttering, the cops finally left.
THE NEXT DAY...
Pinkie was looking at mane styles in a fasion magazine at the kitchen table and yelled out the door "Hey Twilight, for the party tomorrow should I style my mane in Llama Style, or Saddle Arabian casual?"
The head of Wax Perry King, somehow survivng, hopped past in the air vent behind her, taking time to stop and say "Llama Style. Llama's are natures greatest warriors." And the head hopped away.
Pinkie nodded and yelled "Thank's Twilight!"
NEXT TIME: Return of a stuck-up ex-prince.
