Mystery Wrapper

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

9:30 AM: Ponyville Plaza

Duba: Walking with Vinyl and Spike he steps on a wrapper. "Huh, what's this?" Picks it up.

Vinyl Scratch: "Looks like trash."

Duba: "On the floor, in my Ponyville I don't think so come on guys were going to solve this mystery to the mystery cave."

9:45 AM: Dark Cave

Vinyl Scratch: "Are you sure we  have a mystery cave?"

Spike: "I can't even see."

Duba: "Is that you tickling me Spike?"

10:30 AM: Dubas House.

Duba: Putting on bandages. "So, for future references we don't have a cave but we must be detectives to solve this case of the wrapper on the floor. I will be the main detective, Vinyl can be my sidekick, and Spike you're my butler."

Spike: "Why am I a butler?"

Duba: "Because I already bought the outfit."

Spike: "That's a maid outfit."

Duba: "And?"

Spike: "I'm a boy I don't put on maid outfits."

Vinyl Scratch: "I'll hold him down."

Spike: "Get away from me!!"

Moments later.

Spike: "This is so embarrassing."

Duba: "And now with my detective hat on we investigate." Shining a light on the wrapper. "Tell me who threw you on the ground." Waits for the wrapper to respond. "The silent

type huh? I got ways to make you talk." Goes to the kitchen and comes back with a bag of sugar. "Last chance to talk." Slowly ripping the bag until it rips completely spilling the sugar on the floor. "See what you made me do."

Spike: "Why are we even interrogating the wrapper just examine it."

Duba: Picks up the wrapper. "Apple tart." Scratching his chin. "Our first clue."

Vinyl Scratch: "I think we know where to go."

Duba: "I think so too."

Spike: "To Applejack?"

Duba: "No sugarcube corner." Jumps on Spike knocking him to the ground. "Onwards faithful butler."

Spike: "Get off you're heavy."

11:05 AM: Sugarcube Corner

Duba: "Okay remember I do the talking Vinyl if things get too crazy I want you to take care of Lulu."

Vinyl Scratch: "I'll raise her to be the best DJ in Equestria."

Duba: "She's in good hoofs."

Spike: "Oh for petes sake were at sugarcube corner nothing bad happens here."

Cupcake: "Hello there Duba, Vinyl , and Spike? Why are you wearing a maid outfit?"

Spike: "I don't even know anymore."

Cupcake: "Well how can I help you three today?"

Duba: "Enough sweet talk no pun intended where's your husband?"

Cupcake: "He's in the back. I can fetch him if you want but is he in trouble?"

Duba: "He will be if he doesn't come soon."

Cupcake: "Ok okay no need to get worked up." She walks off.

11:10 AM: Still at Sugarcube Corner

Carrot Cake: "Hi there did you...Why is Spike wearing a maid outfit?"

Spike: "Why is that so important!?!?"

Duba: "We'll discuss that later want to explain this?" Shows him the wrapper.

Carrot Cake: "Well that's trash."

Duba: "Found on the ground, I don't take kindly to littering."

Vinyl Scratch: "It's true he broke off a ponies hoof for littering."

Carrot Cake: Nervously sweating. "Well I honestly don't know where that came from."

Duba: "Really?"

Carrot Cake: "Yes."

Duba: "Really, really?"

Carrot Cake: "Yes?"

Duba: "He didn't respond right that time you're lying, Vinyl hold him down."

Vinyl Scratch: "I can't, he's on the other side of the counter."

Duba: "Oh, you lucked out this time."

Carrot Cake: "Is that all you need?"

Duba: "I was hoping for a apple tart."

Carrot Cake: "Certainly." Pulling out a fresh apple tart from under the glass counter. "Here you go that'll be."

Duba: Sticking the apple tart in the wrapper. "It's a perfect fit." Glares at Carrot Cake.

Carrot Cake: "Okay I give up we recently began outsourcing our products since business has been slow in Ponyville the wrappers are from us but they could've come from other

places there I talked I just didn't want her to find out."

Pinkie Pie: "Let who find out?"

Carrot Cake: "No one in particular."

Duba: "Your story checks out, but where do you get your apples?"

Spike: "Seriously?"

Carrot Cake: "Well sweet apple acres everypony knows that's where all the apples are grown."

Duba: "Then we'll go there."

Pinkie Pie: "Wait Duba, I want to help your investigation on who threw the wrapper on the ground."

Duba: "How do you know about that?"

Pinkie Pie: "I was following along the story."

Duba: "What?"

Pinkie Pie: "Nothing, nevermind, just go solve this mystery."

Duba: "I will."

Carrot Cake: "And now who's going to pay for that apple tart?"

Duba: "Well it's still...What happened to the tart?"

Pinkie Pie: Smiling sheepishly. "Sorry I couldn't help myself."

Duba: "Well I guess it's only fair that. Run Vinyl." They run off leaving Spike to pay for the apple tart.

11:30 AM: Ponyville Plaza

Duba: "Spike should been here by now."

Spike: "I can't believe you ditched me."

Duba: "You should've ran with us."

Spike: "I can't run in this stupid maid outfit."

Duba: "Well you worked hard enough faithful butler you go rest while Vinyl and I go to sweet apple acres."

Spike: "Where is she anyways?"

Duba: "She went to fetch some important objects." Winks at Spike.

Spike: "Why did you wink at me?"

Duba: "It's code for objects were using to interrogate Applejack."

Spike: "I think I'll just stick around a little longer just to make sure you guys don't do anything too out of hand."

Duba: "Oh faithful butler I knew you wouldn't leave us."

12:00 PM: Sweet Apple Acres.

Duba: "Did you bring the stuff?"

Vinyl Scratch: "Definitely it's all in this duffle bag."

Spike: Looking around nervously.

Duba: "First we check the brains of this operation."

12:05 PM: Apple family house.

Granny Smith: "It's not often, young folks visit me. They're all too busy with task like jobs. I think they slack off to parties, reading books, and being animal tamers no pony bothers visiting their elders every so often so  what was is the reason you dropped by?"

Duba: "We wanted to know where you get your apples?"

Granny Smith: "Well from the trees of course, but it wasn't like that before back in my youth oh this whole land was just a giant field of nothing. It wasn't until my great, great, great, great, great."

Duba: "Spike you stay here."

Spike: "I am not staying listening to this boring history lesson on apples."

Duba: "You're the butler you can't say no."

Spike: Grumbles seeing Duba and Vinyl leave.

12:10 PM: Cutiemark Crusader Tree house.

Duba: "No one's here."

12:11 PM:  Outside the Cutiemark Crusader Tree house

Applejack: "What are ya'll doing up there?"

Duba: Flies down. "Interrogation."

Applejack: "Interrogation what kind of nonsense are ya spitting out?"

Duba: "Well we learned from Sugarcube Corner they get their apples from you."

Applejack: "Of course they do every pony does it's our main source of income."

Duba: "Oh yeah I forgot you guys sell apples for a living."

Applejack: Only looking at him expressionless.

Duba: "Well I guess we're back to looking for clues."

3:00 PM: Flower Shop

Duba: "Well were at a dead end."

Vinyl Scratch: "I know we can find out who did it but we need  more clues."

Spike: Approaching them with an angry look on his face. "Next time you're putting up with her story.

Duba: "Oh faithful butler we almost forgot about you." Thinking for a bit. "Let's go to Twilights."

3:30 PM: Twilights Castle

Duba: Knocks on the castle door.

Twilight Sparkle: Opening the door. "Yes? oh it's you what do you want?"

Duba: "I need help."

Twilight Sparkle:  "Clearly."

Duba: "No hear me out. Somepony threw a apple tart wrapper on the ground after much investigating we only found out Sugarcube Corner sells  them outsourcing because of slow business they didn't want someone in particular to know, next was Applejack who just told us she sells apples to everyone."

Twilight Sparkle: "You're not a very good investigator are you? but since you came to me for help you can always ask the cakes for the records on the ponies that recently bought apple tarts...Why are you in a maid outfit Spike?"

Spike: "Is that all everyone's going to keep asking me?!?!"

Duba: "I guess we can try that out come on Vinyl, Spike." He heads out the door with the others following him.

3:45 PM: Sugarcube Corner

Duba: "Just remember the plan got it." Vinyl nods.  He approaches the counter.

Cupcake: "Hey there Duba, my husband isn't here right now."

Duba: "Oh don't worry I didn't come for your husband."

Spike: Speaking into a microphone outside Sugarcube Corner telling Duba what to say.

Cupcake: "Well then what can I get you?"

Duba: "A cupcake sounds nice?"

Cupcake: "Which  kind."

Duba: Feeling a bit uneasy before holding Cupcakes hoofs. "Whichever you prefer."

Cupcake: Blushing. "D-duba please this is really uncomfortable for me I'm a married mare."

Duba: "I know but...hold on." Sitting down distant from the front counter  speaking into his earpiece. "I'm only the distraction why are you making me sound like Romeo?" Spike chatting into the earpiece.  "Okay, fine."  Walking back to the counter.

Cupcake: "So did you make up your."

Duba: Pulling Cupcake towards him kissing her on the lips he looks behind her seeing Vinyl dressed as a ninja waving papers around she exits through the window a loud crash is heard.

Cupcake: "What in Equestria has gotten into you? I told you I'm married."

Duba: "I know but it took you 2 minutes to break from the kiss. But I got what I needed so bye."

Cupcake: Looking at him confused blushing darkly.

Spike:  Sees Duba exiting Sugarcube Corner. "Wow didn't think you."

Duba: Punches Spike sending him a few feet away. "You made me kiss somepony 20 years older than me. She tasted like expired sugar."

Spike: Gets up dusting himself off "How do you know what expired sugar taste like?"

Vinyl Scratch: Pulling her ninja mask down. "I got it by the way nice distraction but I think the kiss was a little too much."

Duba: "I know...Spike"

Vinyl Scratch: "No, I'm serious the business here has gotten so bad the cakes barely you know *Whistles*. If anything that little kiss could cause a break in their marriage."

Duba: "It's marriage you're stuck for life in those things."

Vinyl Scratch: "Hopefully an affair doesn't happen."

Duba: "Just read the list."

Vinyl Scratch: Looking down the list. "Well that narrows it down."

Duba: "What?"

Vinyl Scratch: "Only one pony has bought an apple tart in the past month."

Duba: "Who was it?"

5:00 PM: Ponyville Post Office.

Derpy Hooves: Leaving the post office taking off her postmare hat.

Duba: "Freeze, Derpy Hooves you're under arrest."  Derpy raises her hoofs trembling in fear.

Vinyl Scratch: "Can detectives arrest someone?"

Duba: "I don't know, but Derpy we caught you redhanded you thought you were clever but we found you out."

Derpy Hooves: "I'm sorry for whatever I did, I didn't mean to harm anypony."

Duba: "Cuff her Spike"

Spike: "We don't have cuffs."

Duba: "Oh, we'll use this rope then." Ties Derpy making Spike carry her.

Heading to the police station Duba, Vinyl, and Spike walk while Derpy flies behind them from having her arms and legs tied up.

5:10 PM: Ponyville Police Station.

Duba: Entering the station. "Officers I have a pony you need to arrest for littering."

Police officer: "And who might that be?"

Duba: Unties Derpy. "Her"

Police Office: "Oh her, she's the klutz of Ponyville we usually give her a free pass on everything I mean who can stay mad at that face?"

Derpy Hooves: Smiling at the officer. "Thank you for understanding officer I just don't know what went wrong when the wrapper flew out of my hoof from the wind."

Police Officer: "Understandable."

Derpy Hooves: "it's just I do get a little tired of always eating muffins.."

Police Officer: "You get tired of eating muffins?!" Cuffing Derpy "You are under arrest for impersonating a pony."

Derpy Hooves: "Please officer I'm not impersonating anyone." The officer takes her for interrogation.

Duba: Dusting his hoofs. "Case closed and another happy ending."

Spike: "Happy ending? Derpy got arrested."

Vinyl Scratch: "Should we go to Sugarcube Corner to celebrate?"

Duba: "After kissing Cupcake no I think it will be awhile before I can go there."

Vinyl Scratch: "That's true."

Spike: "Can I take this outfit off?"

Duba: "Yeah I was wondering why you had it on."

Spike: "You forced me to put it on."

Duba: "Only to test how it would look on you. You could've taken it off after that."

Spike: "I hate you."
