Case 1: Murder in Canterlot: Investigation Part 3

Spike's POV

May 6th, 1504

9:22 AM

I was still quietly sleeping at the time.

Dreaming about, in a cliché way, Rarity.

It seems like this is one of those romance movies that are so bad they're not even funny.

Anyways. I felt someone pushing me inside my bed, and I think I mumbled the worst thing I could have ever mumbled. Ever.

"Daaash, if you're in bed get out. I told you I didn't want to sleep with you."

The mare trying to wake me up had a giant giggle before I was shook again, this time so violently I snapped into consciousness.

"Well hello my Spikey-Wikey. "

My eyes widened in shock to see someone I really didn't expect I really, really didn't expect.

"Rarity? What are you doing here? I thought you moved to Manehattan"

I said as I got up, rapidly getting changed, brushing my teeth, putting my detective's firearm, jacket and well, suit and general.

"Yeah, it was a long drive. Two and a half hours in fact." I couldn't believe the answer.

"You drove two and a half hours just to see me?!" I was still in shock.

"Of course! Because I love you!" I leant into a quick, yet passionate kiss, which was ironically mint-flavored because of the toothpaste.

"How long are you visiting?" I asked.

"A week. I decided to visit you on such short notice because in May and June work starts doubling because of movie sets wanting fashion designer costumes, so even if I tried to visit you in the next 2 or 3 months I couldn't because of work."

I just gave a quick "Oooh." to that response before leaning in for another, now longer and more lustful kiss.

I heard a giggle from the other side of the room."Dash? You're spying on us?"

I said, before watching a cyan mare come out of the closet, giggling, chuckling and doing whatever she could to suppress the giant grin on her face.

"Rarity, Twilight's was detained and is being held in the detention center." I said.

"WHAT?!.. Oh sorry I mean what?" She said, before all of us laughed a bit, before getting serious again.

"Indeed, she was framed for murder." Rainbow said.

"Lacitus found the murder weapon, with several hoofprints of Twilight." I said.

"We have to go to the crime scene and find proof that Twilight was framed." I said again.

"Wanna come?" Dash asked, a very simple question.

"Oh, yes. I want to catch the killer. I want to see him go to jail." Rarity said, with a look of greed in her eyes, a look of revenge.

"Quickly, we must get to the detention center as quickly as possible, too." I said. Then I realized we should go to the detention center first.

Having my ex and my current in the same room felt weird.

It's just how things work out, I guess.

Twilight's POV

Detention Center

16th Precinct

May 6th, 1504

9:47 AM

I was sitting in my bed, a guard came in.

"Princess, why did you do this crime?"

"I didn't, Mister, I was framed."

"Look, the detectives trust you, but there was a piece of evidence with your hoofprints on it. The murder weapon." He continued.

"A detective found it, he said sticking in the corpse, but since the autopsy reported death was by loss of blood, not internal hemorraghing and the weapon was supposedly still on the corpse, it would have been impossible to die from loss of blood with the weapon inside the body.

So either the autopsy is lying, or the detective is lying."

"Seems someone remembers his police training." I said, chuckling.

"Oh, also. The body was discovered at 7 AM so it was impossible the weapon was taken out after she was dead. In other words, she was stabbed, her knife was pulled out, and the killer just left her to die."

"What is the name of this detective?"

"L..."

*BANG*

The guard opened his mouth, but before he could speak a word he was struck from behind.

The assailant then brung out his gun and held me at point blank range.

I saw his Detective's badge. Then I realized. That detective was the killer.

"I'm sorry Princess Twilight, but I must get rid of some witnesses to have the perfect crime."

But then a voice came from behind, he armed his gun at the Detective.

"Not so fast, Nightstroke."

"SPIKE?!!!" I said in amazement and amusement.
