A New Case

Pinkie pie was walking. She had a train to get to. She had new ponies to meet. She had heard the names, Twilight Watson, and Spike Holmes. The only reason why was to get to another country, for mysteries to be solved. She arrived at the train, meeting Twilight Watson and Spike Holmes, like she had to. Once Pinkie arrived at the train, Twilight and Spike were already there. "Come on now, its time to get this show on the road." said Pinkie.

They hopped on the train, walking to a seat. Pinkie just walking. She sat down way at the end. "So, Twilight Watson and Spine Holmes. What was the reason why you wanted to work like me?" asked Pinkie.

"Well. You know I just think me and Spike could be good also." said Twilight.

"Were very good. You know I solved the Case of the missing Gems." said Spike.

"Spike, you ate the Gems." said Twilight. Spike glared at Twilight, her smiling with a shrug. The train started up, slowly picking up speed through the cold winter snow. "So, Twilight, I suppose you have a thing for...cupcakes?" Pinkie asked, blowing bubbles on her pipe.

"I suppose...yeah." awkwardly said Twilight, sitting on the train seats.

"However, the last time we had a good cupcake was at the Crystal Empire." Spike said with a smile, now taking his seat. Pinkie only fixed her hat, and smiled. "Then you, my good friend, should try mine." said Pinkie, pulling out cupcakes out of thin air.

Spike and Twilight grabbed their respective cupcakes and took a bite. Their slow chewing became a really slow humming. "This is great, Pinkie!" Twilight said, still chewing the cupcake.

"Delicious!" Spike added. A butler came up, a napkin around his hoof, and a plate being held with magic. "Excuze me, would you like ze order?"

"No thank you, I already got cupcakes." Pinkie said with a bubbly smile. The butler became shocked. Sweat beading down his face, and his smile altering. "H-hehe...I think I mizunderstood you, ma'am. Would you like...ze order?" He asked again, now the question becoming a threat.

"Hm...nope!" Pinkie said firmly. The butler's jaw hung from his mouth, and he quickly became angry. "I don't think you understand, madam. Ze order, you will have--"

"No no, sir. I think were fine." Twilight interrupted, sweat now coming from her. The butler only grunted in anger and said, "Hmph. One of you will pay dearly for this."

He stomped out, now Spike chuckling. "Sheesh, what's wrong with him? Getting upset for not ordering? That's like Twilight getting upset on a test!" He said, now laughing.

"TUNNEL!!" They all heard. The train immediately became dark, and suddenly...

...it stopped.

A loud screeching was heard, the train coming into a hault. A loud crash was heard, then came a scream. Pinkie, Twilight, and Spike turned to look. "Um. What was that?" asked Spike, biting his nails in fear..

"Not sure Spike, we'll have to go check." said Pinkie, fixing her hat. They got out of they seat and started walking to where the scream had came from. They approached a lit room full of candles, and a cold, lifeless body was found. A knife stabbed into her throat, purple bruises around her body, specifically her neck and arms, and eyes wide open with lifeless fear. Twilight could barely keep her scream in, and Spike was on the urge to barf. "N-no..." a mare said with true terror.

"What just happened?!" Pinkie asked quickly.

"I-I-I don't know! I-I just found her l-like this!" the mare said.

"It's okay! Just...everybody breath." Twilight said. The fear was slowly reduced by slow breathing, until the train started up again. "T-the train's moving?" Spike asked.

"C'mon!" Twilight said. The three ran into the conductor room, to see another body strangled, and the brake gear broken. "The brake! It's broken!!" Spike yelled. The train slowly picking up speed, the three panicked.

"What's going on?!" Spike asked in fear. Pinkie noticed the note on the body, and she picked it up. "Welcome, my little ponies, to a game. A game where one shall be tamed. I am a killer, you see, but I shall tell thee. I am edible, delicious to eat. Now sit down, take a seat. What am I?"

"...What?! That's not fair! He's leaving riddles!" Spike yelled.

"No, this is great! I'll be able to solve a case with Sherlock Pie! And this one is a riddle game! This will be so much fun!" Twilight said with glee.

"But before we can get started, we need to ask all the witnesses. Come, my dear Watson, I shall solve this case!" Pinkie said with triumph. They left the room with pace, but did not know one more note hidden on the gear.

Gotcha!
