//-------------------------------------------------------// Ace spade and the ponyville puzzle -by Toonsquared- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// A happy birthday //-------------------------------------------------------// A happy birthday She was tied up in an old wooden rocking chair, beat up and bruised. She looked around, surveying her surroundings, and saw a pony.         " W-Where am I?" She asked the mare hiding in the shadows. She took a closer look and saw a Straight mane, running all the way down her  neck."I feel as though I should be honored." Said the mare. "I've never had an element here before." The mare continued, stroking what looked like a knife. "Who are you? Why am I here? What do you mean by 'element'?" She said to the mare. "You don't need to know that." The mare said with a mischievous look in her eyes . The mare pressed a large red button, causing Everything to go black. "For she's a jolly good fellow, for she's a jolly good fellow. For she's a jolly good fellow    That nobody can deny!" I sang, cheering for pinkamena, who just had her birthday. Pinkie was a chef, I think. She just couldn't decide on a job after nightmare moon took over. Pinkamena still had her old cutie mark, though, which was really rdistracting. "So how Have you been?" I asked, in a good mood. "Amazing! Why are you in such a good mood? That's pretty unusual for you." She responded, with a smile larger than canterlot. "Ever since the whole 'nightmare moon' thing, I've been getting a lot of business." I said. Nightmare moon somehow caused lots of disappearances all around ponyville. I had more cases than I knew what to do with. "It's Time for Presents!" Pinkamena shouted. " look what I got you!" Pinkamena said, handing me the gift. "You know that I'm supposed to give you presents on your birthday, Right?" I questioned, knowing how much of an airhead  she could be. "Yeah, but this is way more fun!" She said, as I shrugged and accepted the gift. I opened the box and found a magnifying glass. "All detectives need an hourglass, right ace?" (Yes, my name is ace.) "Right, pinkie." I said. "Except that I already have one." "Oh." After that, we went out for a bite at donut Joe's, and as I stumbled home (I had a bit too much cider with my donuts), I Saw a Chestnut pony waving at me.
