Unknown Location…

I returned home after dropping off my letter to the detective, I am positively excited! A merry good chase between us is exactly what I’m looking. My new gift is coming along nicely now, I was able to procure some stuffing from Rich’s store, so many kinds of stuffing they had. Many in different colors including a rainbow stuffing as well. Though I just went with the simpler normal one, the colored ones looked lower quality than the one that I bought.

Finding the detective’s apartment was a pretty easy task, I was able to stumble upon the information when two royal guards were walking and talking about the detective. I followed them and they revealed what apartment building he was staying at, including his room number. Getting in was easy, the door to his room was locked of course, but stealing the master key from the landlord was simple. Really, they should not leave their keys out in the open like that, at least put it in a locked safe or something for Celestia’s sake! They were just hanging there begging to be taken. After entering the detective’s room I placed the letter on his bed and locked the door and instead of taking the key back to where it belonged, I decided to steal it and use it whenever I deemed it necessary.

I don’t have to worry about them trying to track me down from the letter, I had a dear friend of mine remove all traces of any and all hoofprints that were stained on the letter. It would have made the game end too early if they found me that quick. I opened my fridge and had an apple that I bought from the apple stand that farm mare ran, what was her name? Apple Pie or something like that? There were too many of those apple ponies around Equestria that I can’t keep up with all of them. I know she’s one of those Elements of Harmony that I keep hearing about. I wonder if she would be a good helper for me? Hmmm, best not, don’t want to draw too much attention towards me.

Taking somepony that important would cause way too many problems for me. I’ll just stick to the locals then. A shame really, that apple mare is really beautiful, I bet I could make her even prettier if I took her. I entered my workshop and admired the work that I had done so far. On the operating table lay the mare that is to be my next gift. I plan on leaving her in front of Sugarcube Corner. I have been to that shop many times, the Cakes are lovely though I’m not fond of the pink one. I find her annoying and irritates me to no end. If she wasn't an important pony I would have taken her next.

The mare’s eye looked so pretty when they are grey, plus now she is behaving more than she did when I last talked to her.

“Hello my dear, sorry I’m late I had little business to take care of,” silence filled the room as I listened to my sweet mare.

“Oh don’t worry about that, you are going to Sugarcube Corner, you’ll get all of the cupcakes and muffins you could ever want!” she was always silent nowadays, they always are.

“Yes I believe so, now then come my dear let’s get you into your new home shall we?” I picked her up and placed her inside my gift box and placed my letter on her chest. I closed the lid to the box and began wrapping her up, blue and silver wrapping paper with a yellow bow tie to complete the box. I attached a nice little tag on the box that said,

To: Mr. and Mrs. Cake
From: The Gift Maker
Have a wonderful day!

I placed the box on my back and headed out to Sugarcube Corner. The streets were empty at this time. Everything was so quiet, I looked up and admired the stars and moon, Princess Luna really outdid herself today. As I walked I saw detective Hunter following some stallion in a robed cloak. I was not sure what the detective was planning but it was none of my business. At least for now it wasn't. I continued on and finally was at Sugarcube Corner. The door opened and I quickly hid behind a wall.

“Now Pinkie dear, please don’t forget to lock the door this time,” said the voice of Mrs. Cake.

“Don’t worry Mrs. Cake, there’s nothing to worry about when I’m in charge of door duty!” said the pink menace.

“That’s what I’m afraid of…” mumbled Mrs. Cake.

After they went back inside, I checked the door and sure enough it was locked. The pink one actually did something right for once. I placed the box on the front steps and walked away. In the morning they shall wake up and see the very generous gift that I made for them. I can only imagine the happy faces and smiles that will be plastered onto their faces when they open up the box.

I began walking back to my home and along the way, I began to sing a tune I had just came up with.

An eye for an eye,

A leg for a leg,

I can be the one who gave you that smile,

I can be the one who spilt the guts on you,

A smile for me and a smile for you,

Still like a statue with eyes like a sick bird,

Oh the joy I feel when I see you die,

Author's Note

Yay I'm not dead! Well hope you enjoy this chapter, I tried to make the song lyrics sound creepy and stuff but I probably failed at that. I couldn't really come up with anything that was creepy for the maker to sing. If I am able to think of something better than I will replace it. Anyway pay attention to the song though, that let's you know that the pony singing it is The Gift Maker or if he is around.
