Nightmare at the Gala!

Twilight almost starts throwing up over the stench of Gummy outside her house. "Well, it's not Pinkie Pie. She wouldn't kill her own pet. This mystery is going downhill, but I'm gonna solve it! Even if it kills me!" Twilight pulls out an empty book and starts writing notes about the mystery now and what may come in the future, maybe at the Gala. After many hours of "carefully" crossing off ponies, she reaches an accusation. She bursts through her door and runs across Ponyville. Rainbow Dash is flying above her, watching her serious face run through town. "Twilight, what's the rush?" "I think I know who's causing all of this. Follow me if you want!" The two gallop further into the woods and reach Sweet Apple Acres. "Applejack?" asks Rainbow Dash. "You think the murderer.. is Applejack?" "My evidence makes sense, just watch me." Twilight tries to open the door to the barn, its locked once again. Rainbow Dash smirks at her, "Did you check around back?" asks Rainbow Dash imitating Twilight. Twilight looks at her with an angry look, "Don't think I simply forgot to check the back.." The two run around back and see Applejack beside her sisters grave once again. "Did you come here to make up for the funeral?" asks Applejack again, sarcastically. "No, I came here for something different! I figured you were here." says Twilight. "Where else would ah be? Ah gotta be by my sisters side every once in a while. Nopony else is here to comfort her most of the day." says Applejack, getting angry. Rainbow Dash gets a vision of the hanging object and gets chills throughout her body. She shakes it out and looks up at the tree. The hanging object isn't there anymore. She tries to hold it in but can't.

"Where is it?! Where is it?!" yells Rainbow, flying around the tree. "It was right here! I saw it!!" Applejack looks at her in confusion. "Hanging object? Rainbow, their wasn't anything there in the first place! Unless it was one of Big Mac's Halloween decorations to scare the fillies." says Applejack. "No! Their was a hanging object on THIS branch! I saw a hat fall from it and...and.." "We'll get to that another time Rainbow." says Twilight, interrupting her. "YOU, Applejack, you're in quite a heap of trouble. You couldn't get away with it cause I figured you out! You have been the pony causing all these murderers! When your sister died, you felt that we didn't care enough, so you went and killed everything that meant the most to us!" Rainbow Dash sits next to Applejack, whose looking at Twilight in anger. "Yeah, I know. She said it, Applejack." says Rainbow. "Now, would you like to prove her wrong?" Applejack gets up and twists her head both ways, trying to release the anger. "Yeah! AH WOULD! FIRST OF ALL, let ME be the first to say, you have gone COMPLETELY insane! Why would ah kill my OWN FLESH and BLOOD just for PUBLICITY?!" Applejacks yelling turns to screaming. "I SAW that arrow go through Applebloom's eye RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! SECOND OF ALL The only pony who was with me was Fluttershy and she witnessed the same darn thing ah did! SO, let me ask you, Twilight, who wasn't there when Applebloom died? Hmm, it's on the tip of my tongue, ah can't seem to get an answe- oh yeah, that's right. YOU, Twilight! YOU WEREN'T THERE! Accuse me all you want, but I didn't shove that arrow into my sisters eye, you weren't there to see it, so you have NO evidence against me, so back off!

Twilight's face turns from confidence, to embarrassment as Rainbow Dash has her jaw open from what she just heard. "I didn't miss a thing," says Twilight. "I thought my evidence made sense. Applejack sits back down. "Twilight, I'm sorry for my outburst but, you need to go deeper into detail with your evidence." Twilight tries to respond, but she doesn't. Instead, she starts trotting back to Ponyville, Rainbow Dash follows her after saying goodbye. Applejack lays down and thinks to herself who the murderer may be.

Time Change

The day is now October 29, only two days until the Gala. Twilight thinks long hard about the mystery, trying to "get into more detail". She reaches another accusation and bursts our of her house. She bumps into Pinkie Pie along the way, which was the pony she was going to find in the first place. "Gee Twilight, what's the rush?!" asks Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie, i already accused Applejack of this and I thought long and uhm.. hard about this but, you are the murderer." says Twilight, confidently. Pinkie Pie raises an eyebrow and looks straight at her. "Me? The murderer? Are you crazy? I would never ever ever ever hurt my precious Gummy." "Gummy's death was the last of us six, it all made sense when i thought about it again." says Twilight. "I sure do miss Gummy, I remember when my mother had a pet just like Gummy, she practically almost tore the family part with that pet! She would always cuddle with him and go play fetch with him. Whenever me or my siblings wanted to play with him, she wouldn't let us. I almost got away with it and she said "Pinkamena Diane Pie, you bring him back inside!" After a few years, he got sick and their was nothing we could do, so my mom had to put him down. Our family was devastated, especially mother but-.... wait, what were we talking about again?" says Pinkie Pie, losing her train of thought. "Ughh! Nevermind! It's no use anymore!" says Twilight, trotting away, irritated. Pinkie Pie looks confused. "Well okie dokie lokie! See you around!" says Pinkie as she happily trots away. Twilight starts stomping on the ground as Fluttershy watches not far from her. "This is not the end, Tilde!" says Twilight. "I will find you before Halloween strikes, even if i have to kill you in front of everypony at the Gala! Nopony is gonna stop me! NOPONY!" Fluttershy watches Twilight as she slams her door closed. "I sure do feel bad for Twilight. I wanna help her but she completely lost her mind, even though I love her as a friend." says Fluttershy. She starts heading towards her cottage when the murderer sits upon the top of Twilight's house. "Think what you want, Ms. Detective, but it all starts in two days. You can't defeat me!" says the murderer, laughing maniacally.
