Fluttershy, after her long search, finally gets a job! Not the best one for her.. A detective! As she and angel have to handle searching murder crime scenes Fluttershy starts to rethink her decision, whats going to happen now?

Fluttershy needs a job. Sure being an animal caretaker is amazingly fun, but the pay is weak.
Everypony needs some bits to survive.
how about a good pay, seemingly fun job?
Oh.. Thats not available? Ok, what about a detective?!

With Angel by her side Fluttershy must go through the life of a detective, handling all sorts of blood and robbed houses.
But with a scared filly like Fluttershy, its not just that…

Now taking some advice, I tried to make the chapters longer. I hope this is long enough, because I really wasn't comfortable writing more than I think I should be in one chapter :P

Lets See Here (1)

Inside, the cozy, old-fashioned cottage, Fluttershy and Angel sat on the leaf-green couch that was located next to the window. Newspapers were piled and scattered across the oak floor. Some even been ripped.

The birds in the house were slowly picking the papers up and took them to the trash, only to be moaned at, by the bunny trying to help his friend get a job (maybe even himself).

"I don't know Angel.. None of these jobs seem like.. me." Fluttershy muttered in disappointment.

Angel only answered with an angry, disappointed, frown. Fluttershy responded with a small sigh. It was tiring picking up newspapers and looking at the job advertisements.

"I guess your right.. Keep looking.."

After a good few hours of looking through the newspapers, Neither of them found anything good.

Suddenly, Angel hopped, slightly scaring Fluttershy with the sudden movements.

"A.. Angel?! Have you found something?"

Angel pointed to a small block in the corner of one of the pages. It read "Looking for new detectives! flexible hours and 20 bits per hour!".

"Im not sure Angel. A detective? Don't you think thats more.... you?" Fluttershy acknowledged the small advert.

Angel nodded, meaning he got the point, but then pointed to "20 bits per hour!".

Fluttershy lets out a small sigh, already giving in to Angel's small argument, knowing that Angel was defenitly not going to give up easily.

The next day Fluttershy and Angel got a taxi to the address of the advert from the newspaper.

The taxi driver kept looking back at the passengers, even from one look he knew that Fluttershy was definitely not up to the job she's trying for. Though the bunny, he was simply scared to ask.

They arrived at the Detective Agency.

The pair said goodbye to the Taxi Driver and walked into the huge, modern building.

A young white unicorn with a black, tied up, mane and glasses greeted them.

"Hello there you two! Are you here for the job opening?" She squealed.

Fluttershy made an attempt to gallop out the doors, only to be stopped by Angel holding onto her tail.

Sighing, Fluttershy put on a fake and nervous smile.

"Yes.. Yes I am.."

"Thats Great!! Come with me, you need to sign some forms and then i'll show you around!" The perky pony squealed again.

As they both follow her, they both look at the technology that was scattered in the rooms.

"Um... Excuse me. Ms?" Fluttershy mumbled.

"Oh! I'm sorry! My name is IceCold Mint! You may call me Mint if you like."

"Oh. Ok, i was wondering what is all this technology? I've never seen anything like them!" Fluttershy continued.

"Ah, we had some of our colleagues travel through the portal a while ago. We collected these magic 'screens and buttons pad' and we've figured out how to work them. We call them 'PT's'!"  She explained.

Fluttershy caught a glimpse at one of the screens, it read "Sir Hay FlowMane was murdered last night at 9:PM in his hotel room." Thats all she could read before she had to keep moving to avoid getting caught.

"Oh my! Mint, are murders often?!" Fluttershy screeched.

"Haha! You will get used to them. Trust me, but yes, unfortunately they're quite often in equestria.."

As the three get to the paperwork room, Mint gave the sign up sheet to Fluttershy and one to Angel as well.

"Just fill the forms out, and I will give them to the boss. Then we will get back to you!" Mint squeeled again, this pony sure was perky..

That evening back at the cottage,with the help of Spike, the pair had just finished the paperwork that Mint gave them.

"Thank you very much Spike, for helping us with the writing!"

"No problem! Its nice to be writing something different than a letter for once!"

-------------------------------------- Fluttershy's job opening form------------------------------------------------

Name: Fluttershy

Appearance: Yellow pegasus, soft pink mane and tail and butterfly cutie mark

Talent: good with animals

Home town: Cloudsdale

Current town: Ponyville

etc etc..

While Spike walked back to the library, the detective agency was not having the best time.

"What are you talking about?! You told me to answer all their questions!"

"Yes, about the job! Not about the 'frequent murders' or the PT's!"

Mint levitated her glasses from her eyes.

"You really think I scared them away?!" She said beginning to cry a little bit.

"YES! NOW IF THEY DONT RETURN YOU ARE FIRED!" A red stallion yelled at her.

Mint replied with a quiet "Yes sir.." and walked away with her head down.

That red stallion's name was Chief Magnifying Glass, he was the boss of all the agency, and was strict when it came to business. He wasn't friendly. Except to his cat "Hay-ley". He would bring it to work sometimes and treat it like a baby.

The next morning Fluttershy attempted many times to hide or run away from Angel.

"Angel! What if i don't get the job?! What if they don't like me?! What if-"

She is cut off by finding herself sitting in a taxi with Angel, already on the way to the Detective Agency again.

"What if I have to deal with murders?!!" She squeals.

Fluttershy and Angel walk into the Detective Agency again.

They both were getting used to this place, eventhough they were extremely nervous.

Well Fluttershy was anyway.

"Ah!! You came back! Nice to see you again!" Mint squealed giving them both a hug.

"Aha.. Um.. Why wouldn't I?"

"Oh! Some of the agency though I might of scared you away! By the way, I forgot to ask for your names yesterday!"

"This is Angel.. and I'm.. Uh.. Fluttershy..."

"Cute name!" Mint smiled,

"Come on, I'll take you to the boss!"

Mint couldn't wait to kinda rub in the chief's face, that she didn't scare away anypony.

Confidently, Mint knocked on the door..

Did I get it? (2)

They waited for the chief to say "COME IN!" in his horrible tone.

"Come in!" A much sweeter voice said.

Mint opened the door slowly, seeing that the office was decorated with pink hearts, flowers and plenty of glitter.

"H..Hello Ma'am, Where is the chief?

"Oh! Come in! Come in! The chief- Uh. Lets get back to that later." She said beautifully, yet nervously.

Fluttershy and Angel slowly came through the door that Mint was holding open for them.

"Oh.. Only one? Thats fine! No competition then hm- Miss Fluttershy?" She was practically singing, her voice was so beautiful.

"Oh no.. This is uh.. my friend Angel. He would like to try out too.." Fluttershy mumbles.

The pink mare smiles again. "Ah! I see!"

"Miss.. I don't believe we have met. Please can I know your name?" Mint interrupts. Trying not to be rude.

"Ah yes! My name is Crimson Pearl! I am the new boss of the Detective Agency!" She sings.

"Oh.. ok. Miss Pearl, I am-"

"IceCold Mint!" Crimson interupted.

Mint slightly annoyed and confused, she cleaned her glasses then tried to smile.

"Anyway.. I will leave these two with you.." Mint muttered under her breath.

"Alright then! Mint you get back to work!"

Mint sarcastically smiled and slammed the door behind Angel and Fluttershy.

Crimson's smile instantly turned to a bored frown.

"Anyway.. Do you two want the jobs? Or not?" Her beautiful voice became monotoned and boring.

They both nodded.

"M.. More than anything Miss Pearl!" Fluttershy admitted.

"Ok. Here." She gave them both name tags and uniform.

"You got it.."

"Thank you so much Miss Pearl!! I promise you will not regret this decision!" Fluttershy squealed and fluttered out the room with Angel on her back.

"Mmhm.. Sure.." Crimson muttered.

Fluttershy slowly closed the door behind her, creating a small 'click' inset of a large 'BANG'.

"Hey Fluttershy! Did you get the job?!" Mint hopped over to them, squealing.

"Yes! I can't wait!"

"Awesome! Go home for today, and come back tomorrow! I will get you both desks!" Mint squealed again, hopping away into the hallway.

Angel smiled at Fluttershy and gave her a 'thumbs up'.

Fluttershy just giggled and they trotted out the Agency, ready to go home again.

For the rest of the night Pinkie Pie threw a party for Fluttershy's new job, all the friends attended.

"Uh.. Pinkie.. How did you know that I got the job anyway?"

"A really nice mare told me!"

"Do you mean Mint?"

Pinkie though for a moment.

"Uh.. I don't think I caught her name.. But maybe!"

Twilight came to interrupt the conversation Fluttershy and Pinkie were having.

"Sorry you two, but Fluttershy, you will need to go to bed a little earlier tonight. Considering its your first day tomorrow!"

Fluttershy nodded, and said good night to all her friends, tomorrow was going to be exciting.

When she got home to her cottage, Angel noticed how excited Fluttershy was... He could sense that she forgot about all those worries she had when going today, he didn't bring it up though. It would just set her off again. Nobody wanted that.

Fluttershy laid in her ivy green bed, piled with cozy blankets and soft, feather, pillows. This bed was made of cloud, her mother brought it from Cloudsdale for her when she moved a few years ago. This is when she met Angel, and took him home.

It was around 6:00 AM when Angel woke his friend. He defenitly didn't want her to be late. She could get fired, then they would have to go through the 'newspaper thing' again. Which was definitely not fun.

He poked her again a bit harder, and Fluttershy's mint-green eyes fluttered open.

"G-Good morning Angel." She said with a yawn.

She opened her eyes a bit wider, and looked at her clock. Seeing what time it was she jumped out of bed as quick as she could.

"Oh no! I don't want to be late! I want to be there for 10 AM!!!" She panicked, knocking Angel to the ground.

After she put on her brown coat, her hat and put her sunglasses in her coat pocket.

Angel did the same and hopped onto Fluttershy's back.

After a long gallop to the Agency, Fluttershy and Angel managed to get their at 09:58.

Noticing her mane was a mess from the running, she quickly used her hoof to straighten it, it didn't help very much but she didn't have time.

"Ah! Fluttershy! You look adorable in that uniform!" Mint squealed.

"Thank you! This is actually the first time i've seen you wear your uniform."

Mint's uniform was slightly different to Fluttershy's and Angel's. It was a burned red colour and looked a little bit longer. It went better with her colour scheme, so that was probably why.

"Ah, I was just in the Agency when you saw me, apparently we're going to be partners. So we have to start investigating!"

Fluttershy got instantly scared.

"I-investigating? A-A murder?!" She stuttered from her shaking.

"No no! Just a robbery today! But you need to decorate your desk and things first!" Mint smiled.

It was getting late already, Fluttershy had asked Twilight to send some things over for her. Including a picture in a frame of her and her friends, potted plants and cushions for her chair. Her desk was very 'nature-y'.

Angel made everything himself, it was pretty much the theme of carrots, orange and green. He seemed to like it.

"Very nice you two!"

"Thank you! I was hoping it looked ok."

"Haha! You can decorate your desk how you like! Come look at mine."

They both followed Mint to her desk, it wasn't far from theirs. As the walked they noticed lots of other workers typing and their eyes were glued to the glowing screens.

Finally, they got there. It was very bright and clean looking. It didn't have many items, but the actual desk and the cardboard walls surrounding it looked very nice. She had a few pictures of her family and friends, all of them very posh and tidy looking. They didn't look like Mint, their manes were very groomed and coat's were clean, while Mint's seemed scruffier and had small patches of dirt hidden in it (like anypony's normally was).
