Twilight Finds The Death Note

All six were sitting quietly as the train ran down the metal tracks. Suddenly, a pink pony broke the silence. "Twilight, what did the princess say in her letter anyway?" Asked Pinkie whilst tapping the alicorn on her shoulder. Turning around to face Pinkie Twilight replied, "I think she wrote we would be staying up in my old room in the castle." Sighing she remembered the years of studies and work done in that dust old room. "We should be able to get into head quarters by Tomorrow. Why do you ask?" The earth pony replied, "You just seemed a bit nervous when we were at the station. I was worried something had gone wrong."

Rainbow Dash, who was sitting next to Twilight, spoke up, "You did seem a bit shaky back there, is everything OK?" Backing away slightly Twilight rubbed her forehead and began to speak but cut herself off. Shaking her head Twilight said nonchalantly, "It was just the stress of getting this whole thing together and then being late."

Rarity came over with a few snacks that she had acquired from the front cart. "So, who is exited?" She said as she handed each of them a pack of peanuts. Dash shrugged, "Its not that big of a deal..."

Apple Jack snickered when she heard this comment, "Really now? I could have swore not one hour ago you were running around that platform like a headless chicken." The pegasus blushed but ignored her friends, mostly because she was right. They chuckled a little before a loud voice called out, "Next stop Canterlot!"

Soon the train came to a halt and they all trotted out to meet two faces. They were guards there to escort the six to the castle. When they arrived the moon had risen and the night had started. Deciding it would be best to meet the princess in the morning, Twilight showed them their room.

Gasps spread between the other five as they admired the architecture of the glorious room. Most of the suits in the castle were nice but this room was for the princess' apprentice there for it had to go above and beyond. Almost up to the status of the royalties chambers.

"Wow, Twi. Ah can't believe ya used to live here!" Said Apple Jack glancing at the huge hour glass. Flutter Shy trotted over and thanked her purple friend, "Thank you very much Twilight, it's so kind of you to let us stay here."

Ignoring many of the others, Twilight walked over to a tiny cupboard in the corner of the room. It held many cleaning supplies and some sleeping bags. Taking the bags from the top shelf, she handed one to each of the ponies. "Now, since I didn't even want to be here all of you will sleep in the living room while I get the bedroom." Rarity was astonished at the mere thought of sleeping on the ground and was first to object.

"You can't really expect us to sleep on the floor, can you?" Asked the disgusted unicorn, "it's all dusty and icky!" Twilight simply snickered and with a flash of light she vanished out of the room and was teleported into the bedroom.

Collapsing onto the bed, Twilight sighed and tried to fall asleep but was awoke because of a certain voice. "So your not even going to say 'thank you', I presume!" Opening her eyelids, she saw Discord floating above her head. She turned away, not wanting to see him, and said flatly, "Do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

Perplexed, he asked, "what do you mean? You seemed to be enjoying yourself quite a lot before." The alicorn sat up, leaning against the wall. "Well, you see, everypony around me is shunning Kira. Telling me he's evil and a murderer!" looking to the door, she levitated an old photograph (of herself and the princess) which hung on the wall, "I don't think its worth it... Not anymore at least. Crime is getting larger by the second and there is no way I get rid of all of it."

"Do you want to relinquish ownership?" Inquired the demon. shocked, Twilight leapt from the bed and landed next to him. "What do you mean?"

"Apparently, you can just give the book back and I get to do whatever I please with it!" He smirked slyly at her. Shaking her hooves frantically Twilight shouted, "No! I'll keep it! I'll take care of it myself!"

Suddenly, Rainbow Dash's voice called up, "Twi, are you alright up there?" Opening the door slightly she replied nervously, "Yeah, I'm OK!"

Sitting back on her bed Twilight said under her breath, "I have to get rid of this myself..."

A quill scratched a scroll at the top of a large hall. Many of the investigators still stood in that hall, trying to find the slightest clue to who this masked murderer might be. A large amount of them were chugging down various cups of coffee, the brown liquid slipping down their mouths.

The quill stopped. Levitating the scroll, the princess casted a simple spell making the partridge grow huge. She then explained, "this is the list of tasks for you as investigators to complete."

It read:

1. Send some of the team down to Ponyville to observe the townsfolk.

2. Check the town square for anything that has a connection to Kira.

3. Get in touch Saddlearbia and request their assistance.

The ponies were confused to why the last order was necessary, some even getting angry. "Why do we need those ponies help?" One pony shouted out.

Celestia replied calmly, "The saddlearabians are not like many of the ponies here in Equestria. We could pass them off as tourists visiting Ponyville. You are famous here and would stick out in a group, they would not."

Disappointed sighs were spread between them before they agreed to the order. Eventually, the ponies had gathered up their belongings and began the trek home. One certain unicorn stayed behind and waited for the room to become clear, except for himself and Celestia. Walking ever so quietly to the front his figure became clear.

A silky white coat with a ruffled grey mane. He was short- but what do you expect from a foal? His eyes opened revealing them to be the same shade as his hair. He was surprisingly calm for a pony of his age however Celestia didn't seem to bat an eye.

Seating himself in one of newer chairs in the front row, he greeted in a timid voice, "Hello teacher, or should I say principle?"

Walking down from the podium, the princess corrected, "Celestia should be fine, Night shine."

Grinning, Night shine responded, "Very well. So, which assignment do you think is fit for me?" Stopping for a moment, Celestia looked upon the giant scroll and said, "I think we will let L decide that."

Grunting, the young foal stood and began to trot to the door but not before waving goodbye. He walked slowly threw the halls of the grand castle, sometimes stopping to admire the artwork. why can't the princess just give me the work before telling everypony else thought Night shine, it would really make my life easier!

Coming to a final halt, he turned and glared at his door in confusion. He could hear voices from the inside. Backing away slightly he noticed the voices had stopped and all had gone quiet. His horn was preparing an attack spell when he slammed open the door and shouted angrily, "Who's in my room?!"
