Case 1: Murder in Canterlot: Investigation Part 2

Spike's POV

May 5th, 1504

4:53 PM

"Have we got any leads, Spike?"

Asked Night, anxious for solving the case already.

"Well that depends.

"I have Rainbow Dash talking to any possible witnesses, including Tori." I said.

"What about forensics? Have they found any prints or DNA?"  I asked, quietly thinking.

"Yes. We have already apprehended a preliminary suspect." He said.

"She's at the precinct." He repeated.

"Her hoofprints were found in the murder weapon, a 19 cm kitchen knife. Index, thumb and middle finger"

"Why haven't I been informed of this?" I asked.

Bad coordination. I guess.

"But we haven't investigated yet... Who's the suspect?"

I said looking rather amazed, confused and a mix at the same time.

"I haven't been informed of her name."

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke up again.

"I'll investigate here. You two go to the precinct."

"A-Okay, Night!" Said Rainbow Dash, it was almost impossible to guess we were at a crime scene with her cheery attitude.

"How do you know my name?"

"Oh, Spike talks about you, he says you're good at the job." She replied, laughing it off.

"Rainbow, why are you being such a discount Pinkie Pie?"  I asked, grinning.

Rainbow growled at me like a bear before quietly chuckling, which then grew to a laugh, and then a full grin.

"Let's go to the precinct, we have a murder to solve!"  I said, quickly grabbing the keys of Lacitus's car and rushing outside, practically.

Spike's POV

5:07 PM

"We're close, Rainbow"  I said.

"O-Okay" She said, with a tremble in her voice.

It was obvious she was one of the strong type, But investigating crime scenes was obviously not her strong-suit.

When we got to the precinct, the pony that stood in the detention center was the least likely of them all.

"THEY APPREHENDED FUCKING TWILIGHT?"

Rainbow said, majorly freaking out, she had reason to, but I still don't think that was the most mature response she could have said.

Still, She could have freaked out less. But it's freaking Rainbow Dash we're talking about.

"By the looks of things, yes they did." I said.. Trying to calm myself and Rainbow Dash with one sentence.

This miserably failed for the latter.

"Bailiff.. When can we see Princess Twi- the prisoner?" I asked.

"Visiting hours are done, come tomorrow 10AM, Detective." He responded.

*sigh*

I went storming off the detention center. Raging away. Someone I considered my "big sister" had been framed for murder.

"Where are we going, Spike?" Rainbow said, collected again.

"I don't know, my flat or maybe the crime scene."

I was really too sad and anxious and mad and a mix of sour feelings.

"Well, we have no use in investigating now, since the lab and pretty much the whole Criminalistics is closed at 5 PM.

And sadly, it was 5:13 PM.

"I'll go to my flat then."

I sighed I needed to call someone.

I needed to speak with someone. Rarity.

I needed her so bad right there.

As for how we actually got a relationship...

Spike's POV

Three weeks ago.

April 15th, 1504.

6:30 PM

6:30 PM. Rarity told me she wanted to talk to me in person.

"Be punctual" she said.

"Reservations for two, under the name of Spike Sparkle?"

The lazy waitress/ reservation checker had something of a bubbly personality.  Almost if she was drunk.

"O-oh, yeeeeeah your table's over theeeere."  She said, enlargening the e's, like a legit diva.  This annoyed me to hell.

"Go inside." She said.

.

"Oh no, I'm waiting for my companion."

I loved that word to describe our relationship, although I hoped today, or sometime it turned into couple.

"So, your girlfrieeeeeend?"

"None of your business"

I said, while blushing.

She arrived. I was surprised to see now I was about half an inch taller than her.

Despite only a few years ago being just over half her size only.

"You're late, it's 6:33."

I said, with cheeky humor.

"Hah, Spike, you know it is very ungentlemanly to tell people they're late."

I felt like a boy being reprimanded.

"But it's also unladylike to be late when you tell somepony, or in this case somedragon to be punctual."She replied.

After that, we went in, silence, well, the people talking' noises were the only thing heard.

When the waitress came, we ordered a bottle of red wine, but what I found myself curious about was..  The way I asked for it.

"A bottle of red wine for me and this charming young lady"  I said, silently chuckling until the smile was so big I couldn't keep my claws in my mouth.

I noticed she was blushing, but I decided to pass it off like I didn't notice.

I tried to break the awkward silence between us by asking her:

"So why did you call me here, Rarity?"

"I have two reasons. First one is because I missed you and you're so cu- *ahem* good-looking."

I blushed, and I had reason to.

"The second one is because I wanted to tell you what I feel before I move to Manehattan."

"You're moving to Manehattan?"  I didn't know. Those were newsflashes for me back then.

"But before I moved I wanted to have a night with all seven of us.  At first I thought of inviting all the girls but then I figured..  I should tell

you..  Alone."  Her voice started to crack.  "I wanted you to know.."  She leaned closer to me.  "I've loved you ever since you held me

captive but I never built up the coura-" She was cut off. By some lips. My lips.  After we both pulled back, she said, with a naughty grin.

"It's very ungentlemanly of you to cut people off!"  After that she gave me a playful, yet soft slap in the face.

"All that matters is now, Rarity" After all, I'm only 3 years younger than her, the memories of when I held her captive flashed me back, though.

"That was a really uneventful day, wasn't it?"  We both said, and instantly laughed as we realized we had said the same thing. It was a soothingly calming feeling. The mare I loved the most was there, kissing me. I felt like I was in pretty much heaven.

We had a wonderful night, after that I walked with her to the now mostly empty boutique.

"I'll help you tomorrow morning to pack." I said.

"I've had an amazing night, Spike."  Rarity said, making me blush a deep, crimson red.

"I've had an amazing mare tonight, Rarity"  I replied, making her blush a shade that I didn't even know was possible.

A week after that she had to move, she said she was going to visit us every now and then.

But I'm going to surprise her once this case is over and go visit her. "I need to visit her. I need to see her. I need to be with her." I kept thinking. After that, I realized being a detective was very stressful at best. I noticed I was freaking out, but I really needed to be with Rarity. It was something like an insane need. It was a complicated feeling, I needed her so bad.
