The Great Red Pony

A Dark Proposal

Previous Chapter

The sun rises over the horizon of Ponyville Equestria, the small but peaceful little town near the royal city of Canterlot. Waking up from her nice sleep is Rarity, who known by almost all the ponies in Ponyville as the #1 fashion designer in town. Her carousal boutique is the most sprawling business in the small town and it has been since it was first started.

Rarity went of to the kitchen, lifting a bowl and the cereal box with her magic and poured the cereal into the bowl. She than poured in some milk and ready for breakfast. She didn't want anything special, she was busy today, like everyday. And she had no time to eat a nice meal.

After she was done she went upstairs and began to create her usual orders, dresses, with her own personal touch. No matter how different the dress was from the original design everypony always loved the dresses she made anyway. And of course at no extra cost, her generosity was to strong to make the ponies pay for new and beautiful details she adds to there dresses. She was to generous not to make the dresses better in the first place.

As she was sowing one of her finest dresses for one of the ponies in town, a loud knocking at her door shook her so much it threw off her nice neat track and she sowed right through a bit of fabric. Rarity was absolutely in a fit rage, even the slightest bit distraction unless it was from Sweetie Belle was enough to make her go off like a bomb. She stormed down the stairs, with the same ferocity in her eyes as when she was possessed by Discord not to long ago.

Pulling the door open with great force she yelled at the two male ponies in front of her, "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING AT MY HOME AT 8 IN THE MORNING!". She quickly calmed down as she looked at the two ponies in front of her, each of them wearing a black blazer and white collared shirt with a black tie. On there chest was a badge with the EBI logo on it. The two of them were special agents. Rarity quickly cried out in total shock, or anger now overtaken by fright "Oh officers what have I done!". The two male ponies on the other hand looked at the white colored unicorn with great confusion, both of them looking at each other wondering what in the hell had happened.

"Uh, miss, you didn't do anything wrong" one of them said. "I didn't, than why could you possibly want to ask me anything" Rarity asked in confusion and annoyance. "We have a job offer for you, can we stepped inside."

EBI!...JOB!...ME! oh this is the just the WORST POSSIBLE THING! Or is it? I mean the money involved must be divine, I could keep the business throughout the whole winter without a care. But I would than be so backed up on dresses to make for all the ponies. This is so hard I dont know what to do! Rarity thought to herself.

However Rarity had been thinking for a good two minutes and the agents were getting impatient. "May we come in miss?" one of them said in a stern tone. Rarity quickly snapped out of her deep thought, "Oh, why of course darlings, heavens where are my manners" Rarity began to set up the table and the two agents walked in with a relief in there faces

"So darlings...I mean officers, what can I do for you this lovely morning". "I'm EBI Special Agent Ivory Justice this is my partner, Agent Buttercup. We are the lead investigators for the The Great Red Pony investigation, I'm sure you have heard of him". "yes I read the paper report this morning, tragic, but I'm confused, what do you want with me?" Rarity asks in confusion. "Well we looked into your investigation of the Wonderbolts incident and were well more than impressed. We were amazed. and the EBI is looking for outside help, private investigators. And we think you are perfect for the job." Ivory said.

"Well Agent Ivory I am extremely grateful that you have asked me to do this but i dont know if this is really my thing, I mean..." Before Rarity could finish her sentence some images were flashed in front of her. Crime scene photos, One pony had a pole running straight through his head. Another had her mane pulled off her head, the floor covered in blood. Rarity pulled over a trash can and puked into it. "Those are terrible, and he did all that!" rarity said with a sickly scream. "Afraid so, look Rarity, here is the deal, This killer kills every full moon. That means that we have a little more that 3 weeks before this monster kills another, are you in or not?".

Rarity thought long and hard about this, but after seeing those photos again, she told herself she cant let that happen to another pony ever again. "I'm in, when do we start?"

Rarity, Ivory and Buttercup were about to enter the car when a dash of rainbow struck Buttercup in the head knocking her out cold. "GET DOWN RARITY!" Ivory yelled as he readied his horn. The pony with Rainbow colored hair landed in front of him and Ivory got ready to fire. "WAIT!" Rarity yelled and ran out of cover, "Rainbow Dash! What on earth have you done!" Rarity said to Rainbow Dash with an angry tone.

"I'm not letting them take you to jail, you did nothing wrong!" Rainbow Dash yelled back. "Darling, they aren't arresting me, I am helping them with a case!" Rarity said. Rainbow Dash now in shock pleaded to Ivory for forgiveness. "I'm going to let this one slide, but if my partner or myself get knocked out again you will be arrest on assault charges!" Ivory said to Dash. Rarity with an annoyed look in her face stepped into the carriage and they drove off, there destination? The EBI Behavioral Sciences Headquarters in Baltimare Equestria.
