I started to walking, nothing like a peaceful autumn walk in Ponyville. I walked past many ponies, and eventually made my way down Daffodil Lane. "Hello, Miss? Did you hear any gunfire recently?" I called out to Shoeshine "Or screaming, perhaps?" She looked at me trembling, she clearly saw something... but what? "Whats wrong?" I asked running over to her "Can you tell me?"
"I-I... It-t was... Sp-Sprinkle.... SPRINKLE MEDLEY... she... s-shes d-dead!" She stuttered.
"Mam, I'm going to have to ask you to calm down." I said "not only that, but do you know why or how she's dead?" She shook her head side to side, signalling no. "It's going to be alright, whoever killed Sprinkle medley will be imprisoned... okay?" She shook her head up and down. I kept running onward. Eventually, making it to the house...

"Taxi! Taxi!" I yell out, waiting by the street side for one to come. Eventually one passed by, and stopped for me.
"Mam'" the taxi driver says lifting his hat. I climb into the taxi, sitting down and buckling up. "Where to?" I Hand him the slip of paper with the address. "Alright, off we go!" He says as he starts running off in the direction.
"So whats a young lady like you doing, going there? If you don't mind me asking..."
"I'm off to investigate a crime-scene, someponies heard gun-shots and screaming"
"Thats awful, but I suggest watching your back... this part of town is pretty... dark to say the least." The taxi stopped "Here we are!" He yelled as he helped you out. "Watch your back, mam"
"I will, thanks for the warning!" I said walking onto the lawn. I could go inside right away, or wait for the caller...

I stood outside waiting for the unknown caller, "Brrrr!" I said shivering. It was now so cold that it was snowing. I looked around, I could see a fireplace in the house of question and could barely make-out the figure of a pony walking near me. This must be them, I thought to myself. "Hello?" I called out.
"Twilight?" the voice called back "Thank goodness you are here!" They said as they ran towards me. It was snowing so hard now, that I couldn't make out who they where. Just a pastel mess of pink and yellow, "Oh, you probably would like to know my name... I'm Cherry Berry!"
"Nice to meet you, Let's go inside now it freezing!" I said walking towards the door. I opened the door for her, and walked in after her. My jaw dropped the moment I went inside... Bullet holes everywhere, blood, and a pony corpse. "Ow..." I said outloud
"What?... Whats wrong?" Cherry berry asked me.
"Oh, nothing... just have a little head ache" I said. What to do first, should I inquire Cherry berry, or look for more evidence...
Question Cherry Berry!
Look for more evidence!

I'll just go inside now, Can't let anyone tamper with the evidence, I thought to myself as I walked into the building. "Ow..." I thought out loud "I have another damn headache!" Then, I gasped. This room was horrendous! Bullet holes scattered across the walls, blood splatters, and a dead pony corpse.
"Twilight?" A pink and yellow pony inquired "You're here! I've been waiting outside for half an hour waiting for you!"
"Oh... sorry about that! I was freezing my plot off... And you are?"
"I'm Cherry Berry.... Anyway its freezing lets light that fire place up!" She walked towards the fire place and pulled out a match
"Wait!" I yelled grabbing her hand "You could contaminate the crime scene!" It is cold though...
Light it for her, I'm responsible!
Don't light it!

"I'm freezing my plot off... I'm going inside" I thought out loud on my way to the door. I stopped and looked in through the window and saw a pink and yellow pony moving things around. I realized what she could possibly be doing and ran inside. "STOP AT ONCE!" I yelled scaring the young mare "You could contaminate the crime scene!"
"I-I'm sorry, I was just looking and... Ummm... Anyway I'm Cherry Berry." She said holding out a hoof, of which I then shook.
"Detective Twilight." I said, as I looked around the room. It was horrible. Bullet holes, Blood splatters, and a pony corpse. I gasped at the sight "Sprinkle...Medley" I said looking at the poor dead Pegasus... Whatever monster did this, it's up to me to imprison! "Did you see anyp- ow..." I said "Ughh I have a headache..." I rethought what I was doing What to do... Should I question her, or look for clues...
Question her...

"Do you know who this dead pony is?" I asked
"S-Sprinkle Medley, Mam"
"Did you ever socialize with Sprinkle Medley?"
"We where Just Acquaintances..."
"Did you see anypony suspicous?"
"Just a Pony in a dark cloak, who had walked by earlier..."
"Where they holding a gun?"
"Not that I could see..."
"Where there any other witnesses?"
"Not to my knowledge, mam."
"I see...."
I could look for clues now, or leave...

"Brrrr!" I said lighting the fire, then its brought to your attention that there was a gun in the fire and it had the only hoof-prints used for framing the convict.
"Well done twilight! It's warming, and now we'll never know who it was... spoiler... It was me." Berry Cherry said as she grabbed the fire poker.
"wha-WHAT WH-" I was interrupted by my chest being peirced and immense pain...
BAD ENDING...

"Don't light it!" I yelled "Getting frostbite is far better than letting some murderer out on the streets!" Cherry berry looks disappointed, but she probably understands. "Although, you're probably cold, take my coat." I levitated my cost onto her.
"Thank you..." She replied "I'm a little bit scared though..."
"Well, don't be I'm on the case... Nothing to fear!" I said giving her a reassuring glance "We just have to get to the bottom of this..." I took out my pipe and lit it, taking a whiff of cherry tobacco. "Ow..." I grimaced "Man this headache is getting worse..." I kinda wanna sit this headache out, to focus better, but I should examine the room.

I started running down the street, down to Bonbon's house. Lucky for me, she had just gotten home. "Bonbon!" I yelled "I need to pull you aside for an interview!" She looked startled, and was hesitant about answering, but after awhile she answered me.
"S-sure thing twilight..." She said walking towards me "Would you like to c-come inside my house?" I shook my head up and down, and we walked in.
"Mmmm!" I Cooed "Your house smells delicious!" It smelled like fresh baked candies.
"Thanks? I just made a batch of caramel" She said "... So onto the interview? I'm on a tight schedule..."
"Sure thing!" I said as I walked on over to her table "So... Did you ever socialize with Sprinkle Medley?"
"Yeah, she was one of my number one customers..." Bonbon replied
"How often did she buy your products?"
"Once a week..."
"How much did she normally buy?"
"A lot, generally buying out one whole item..."
"Did you and her ever hang out?"
"We played card games on Wednesdays, and we would watch a movie sometimes..."
"Okay, that will be all..."
No new leads, it could be anyone... I could interview Cloud kicker, or just call it a night do an overview of the evidence I found...

I was sitting at my desk, the time was 5:30 pm. The phone rang "Hello, This is detective Twilight, whats your problem?" I said answering the phone.
"Twilight? I need help! I-I don't know what happened! I j-just heard... I-I heard gunshots... and screaming! " The pony on the phone stuttered.
"I'll take the case, where did this happen? when?" I said putting on my coat and hat. This was the case I've been waiting for, something big. a real challenge for once.
"530 daffodil Lane, and just 10 minutes ago, please hurry!" I hung up the phone and walked out the door, passing news paper clippings and journal entries. I walked outside, and it was bitterly cold and windy. I felt like the wind was going right through my coat and bones. I walked to the street and checked my map, at least a 30 minute walk or 10 minute taxi ride...
Take the walk...
Take the Taxi...

I looked around the room, closely examining every object... There are hoof prints near the mess of ashes, two bullet holes in the wall, blood splattered all over the carpet and walls, a knocked over table on the center rug, and a broken vase. "Whats that?" I thought outloud.
"Whats what?" Cherry berry asked.
"There is... something in the fire place. Let me put my gloves on" I said as I slipped them on and grabbed the object "It's the gun! strange... it feels familiar... like I've seen it before... The store perhaps?" Just a normal shot-gun, nothing to special about it. "Let's dust it for hoof prints to see if they match the ones in the ash," I said "Then we can send it to the lab to run the prints through our database..." Sooner than later its in a sanitary bag ready to be sent to the lab. Now I should go question the Gun-salesmen, or question the other ponies on this street...

"i'm going to go talk to the gun salesmen!" I said running out of the building. The gun shop was rather close, so it would be fine to walk, and on my way perhaps I'd run into Bonbon or some other local pony. "Bonbon?" I said as I knocked on her door "You home? Guess not..." I ran on over to the gun shop, busting open the door. "Mare-chine gun? you there?" I yelled out
"Um... Hello twilight? You don't look like the kind of pony who would hunt or such... What do you need?" She replied
"I'm looking for somepony who might have bought a shotgun for... shady business... if you know what I mean..." I said "Did you see anypony like that?"
"Not that I'm sure of... Pinkie was here, you, I was, cloud kicker, Bonbon... oh! Cherry Berry, too..." She said
"Cherry Berry? Bonbon? PINKIE? could of sworn they where innocent... really? has business been that slow? This week only four ponies?"
"Only four semi-suspicious looking ponies... other ponies come and go and they don't concern me..." She said "But if I were you, I'd keep an eye out for-"
"No time! I have other ponies to interview!" Now who next... Bonbon or Cloud kicker...
