Case "Sour" Sweet - 7 'A Sunny Flare'

"Quid pro quo, detective. She's next on my list, but I'll hold off for now. In return, I expect you to keep that a secret from her, I like my prey to be caught off guard,"

She hung up as did you. Why did you have to have such a heavy burden put on your shoulders? Not only do you now have only one chance to get Sunny Flare's story, but now you've gotta keep her impending doom to one of her closest friends a secret or else.

"No matter what I do, someone's gonna die..." You moped.

You headed up to your room and slept in your clothes, just staring at the ceiling in utter horror. Eventually, you fell asleep and had nightmares about what Indigo had in store for Sunny Flare, you awoke in the middle of the night in a cold sweat because of them, and you weren't able to go to sleep for the rest of the night. Come the next morning, you dreaded getting up, but got dressed, drank your morning coffee and prepared yourself for your little talk with Sunny Flare. However, you ended up getting a phone call from Sour Sweet asking if you could take her down to CM Games for today's tournament, but you had to, unfortunately, tell her she'd have to go herself and lied about going out to get some groceries when in reality you had to go to Sunny Flare's and ask her about anything related to Sour Sweet's behavior in the recent days.

Upon exchanging goodbyes and hanging up you left a note for your parents for when they awoke later letting them know you'd be out and about today and to give you a call if they were to need you. Along your trip to Sunny Flares, you couldn't stop shaking the feeling that you were being tracked. You kept looking behind you only to see nobody there. Eventually, you just started saying to yourself that the nightmares were starting to get to you until when you reached Sunny Flare's house you felt a hand grab your shoulder. Instinctively you tried to use some Judo Moves on whoever it was, only to find yourself back first onto the pavement by...

"I knew you were following me," You growled upon seeing Indigo's smug look.

"If you knew, then why did you act so jumpy when I placed my hand on your shoulder?"

"I thought-"

"-The nightmares were just getting to you? I know all too well about that, detective. You had a hard time trying to fall asleep after that last one woke in into a cold sweat,"

"I'm not even gonna ask how you know that you sick bastard," You growled as she let you go to get up, "I know why you're following me anyways, you're trying to make sure I don't spill on Sunny Flare, well you know what? I won't. Someone's gonna fucking die no matter what I do, and honestly? I'm starting to get to my boiling point with you, and I'm not gonna tolerate any more of your bullshit if you keep toying with my god damned emotions like you are. I'm not some kind of toy you can play with, freak, I'm Crystal Prep's Master Detective and I will make you rune the day you ever messed with the likes of me, sicko."

"Actions speak louder than words, detective. We'll see soon enough whether or not your words can hold water,"

"You can suck my-"

"Indigo? CPA's Great Detective?!" Sunny Flare went upon opening her door, "What are you two doing here?"

"More so it's me you should be wondering why I'm here," You said as you went up to here, "I'm here to ask you about Sour Sweet in regards to her recent behavior, more specifically if you had any stories that could lead me into the right direction, I've got enough evidence to suggest possibilities of either her being a Transgender or even a Trap. Her parents were of barely any help to me, and went and said that if I wanted to know to get in her pants. I've come to you because I know just how close you two are if anyone can lead me in the right direction towards an answer, it's you. The fate of my case is pretty much in your hands, all I need is a story from when her behavior started acting up."

"Please, both of you, come inside," Sunny Flare offered.

Both you and Indigo politely went in, though stared at each other the whole time you were inside sitting on opposite couches, a scowl on your face but a smirk on hers. Eventually, Sunny Flare came back with some tea for the three of you and after having a sip, she began her story...

"Well, it's not really much, but hopefully it'll help," Sunny Flare spoke up, "One day, Sour Sweet and I had gone downtown before the Friendship Games to stock up on some stuff the Crystal Prep team was gonna use to defile the statue this year when we beat the Rainbooms. However, as you both know that never exactly happened so they sort of went to waste, but aside from that, on that day Sour Sweet was... getting hit on."

"Getting, hit on?" You asked.

"Some jerk was gonna try and rape her but backed off after saying, 'Fucking a, no way! You feel weird down there!',"

It clicked.

Estrogen...

Mood Swings...

Moving like hiding something in her pants...

Nearly a whole hour in the shower...

Stares at boys and boys bathrooms...

Holding her lower section during anatomy...

"EUREKA!"

"Thank you for your help, Sunny Flare, but now I must be off!" You quickly said as you stood up and rushed for the door.

Quickly running down the street you rung up Sour Sweet's cellphone.

"Hello?"

"Sour Sweet, where are you right now?!"

"At CM Games, I just won today's tournament! Why are you asking, are you alright?!"

"Tell your parents to come to school tomorrow, that's all I'm going to say,"
