Miss Jackson
Chapter 1: There's A New Investigator In Town
Load Full StoryNext ChapterTwilight Sparkle was a smart, clever, strong, crafty pony. But Twilight Sparkle never expected to get into the Royal Guard Investigators, let alone the head of it all.
Only the royal Guard had heard about the prostitute. Most didn't believe it, after all, there had not been a prostitute in Equestria for decades. Lots of the guards were not even born when the last prostitute existed. Others did believe what they heard, but only half of them wanted to do something about it. Of course the other half would never let the princesses know their thoughts on the matter.
Princess Luna had not been banished to the moon when the law of no prostitutes had been passed. Luna stood strongly for the rule and demanded they do something as quickly as possible. Princess Celestia also strongly agreed, but she took some time to determine which ponies to send for this case.
Soon, Celestia had Twilight Sparkle--head of royal investigators--and Trixie Lunamoon--deputy of the Canterlot police--sent to her and her sister. Celestia believed the two would get the job done quickly, for she knew of their past assignments.
"I cannot believe the princesses choose us! They choose us out all ponies, Twilight!" Trixie exclaimed as the two trotted through the castle. Twilight calmly agreed, though she was shaking with excitement. This could be the case of the century and she was leading it!
"Agreed. But we must act professional Trixie. This is the most important case we've ever had," Twilight said, raising her head and walking ever so faster.
"We got to make a good impression." Trixie nodded firmly.
The two unicorns came to a halt when they approached the doors of the throne room. Two unicorn guards stood straight in front of the doors. Twilight trotted up to them, confident.
"Hello sirs. I am Head Investigator Twilight Sparkle, and this is my partner-"
"They're good," one of the guards interrupted. The two guards levitated the doors open. Twilight blinked in surprise before muttering a "thank you" and entering the room; Trixie at her side.
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna looked up when the doors slammed shut behind Twilight and Trixie. "I'm glad you're here," Celestia began.
"Of course, princess." Twilight and Trixie bowed before stepping closer to the princesses. "What is it that you wanted to speak about?" Twilight already knew the answer to that, but it was the only thing that came to mind right away.
"There is word of a prostitute going around all of Equestria. But of course, my sister and I cannot abandon our thrones to put a stop to it. That is why we have chosen you two find the pony and bring them back," Princess Celestia continued.
Out of the corner of her eye, Princess Luna saw Trixie's eyes glimmer.
"Alive," Luna deadpanned. She gave Trixie a firm, yet amused look.
"We trust you can get this done. Quickly," Celestia said, seriousness stuffed in her tone.
Twilight gave the princesses a small salute. "You got it, princess. We'll get this done in a matter of no time."
Celestia smiled. "Thank you. I believe the prostitute was last seen in Ponyville. Try there first, the train leaves in three hours."
Twilight and Trixie walked calmly out of the castle; but once out of view, Twilight smiled widely.
"Oh my gosh Trixie. Do you know how big this is? I feel so accomplished! If we get this solved, you and I will probably get promoted!" Twilight grinned and was shaking with excitement. Suddenly, her smile fell.
"Or-or maybe we won't get it done. Maybe we'll take too long. Or maybe the criminal will escape Equestria. Or the princesses will recruite somepony else! Or-or maybe-"
"Twilight, calm down!" Trixie put a hoof over Twilight's muzzle. "We'll get it done. Or else my name isn't Deputy Trixie Lunamoon!"
Twilight rolled her eyes. Trixie could sure brag sometimes. Correction, a lot.
"Alright." Twilight took in a deep breath. "Let's catch that train to Ponyville!"
Trixie found herself bored on the train, the scenery wasn't anything special. Just the same old, same old. Turing her head away from the window, Trixie saw Twilight looking through the notes they had so far.
Age: Unknown
Sex: Unknown
Race: Rumored to be a unicorn or pegasus
Color: Unknown
Family: Unknown
Last seen: Ponyville, Equestria
It was barely anything, and what they did write down mostly consisted of unknown. But, it was something.
"Do you think they're in Ponyville, Twilight?" Trixie pondered, stifling a yawn.
"Perhaps, if it's an earth pony. If the prostitute is a unicorn or pegasus, then they might be gone." Twilight did not look at Trixie, she simply stared holes into her seat. "Luckily, the train ride isn't a whole day."
"But it is boring," Trixie groaned.
When the train screeched to a stop, Twilight and Trixie were the first ponies out. Trixie snorted at the sight of such a country town. Twilight looked everything over, almost as if she was trying to photograph everything.
"Come on, let's get a hotel." Twilight began a slow trot, levitating her light luggage behind her.
The two mares came across a fairly decent hotel soon enough, they had only passed a few houses and a library that Twilight looked at until it was out of sight. Trotting up to the front desk, Trixie asked the earth pony mare for a room.
The mare looked over to Twilight. "Why are their Canterlot police in Ponyville?"
Trixie blinked in surprise. "Why do you think that?"
The mare nodded at Twilight's bag. "She has a Royal Guard Investigators star on it."
Trixie did not even have to look to know what the mare meant. "Of course," she muttered under her breath. Then, so the mare could hear: "We're hear to for an investigation."
The mare cocked an eyebrow. "Why? Nothing worth investigating had happened here for a while."
Trixie shook her head. "I cannot tell you that, ma'am. But you needn't worry."
The mare sighed. "Follow me."
When the three got to the room, the purple mare stopped them before giving them the keys. "If you're looking for news, talk to Miss Rarity at Carousel Boutique. She always keeps up with the latest gossip."
Twilight smiled. "Thank you." Not many ponies knew about the case yet, but there would always be noisy ponies who would find the latest talk of the town.
The mare gave Twilight the keys and shut the door. Only when the sound of hoofsteps disappeared did Twilight turn to Trixie. "Okay, let's find this mare."
Maybe the case of The Law Breaker wouldn't be as hard as the princesses made it out to be.
