A short one guys I know still wanted to push this forward a bit

Thinking...

Levi was currently staying in a motel room at the Prancing Pony. He'd been in the human version of Equestria for two days already. He'd quickly found that there were many, many differences between this place and the the Equestria he called home.

The biggest of the gaps being the differences in currency but luckily these humans had a simple monetary system that ran mostly on paper bills with only four variants of smaller valued coins. It was simple enough that he'd figured out how to use it within fifteen minutes. Unfortunately Levi didn't have any of this money at first but it was easy enough for him to obtain by going to a shop the paid individuals for things that were considered valuable here. The sellsword traded in one of his lowest quality emeralds, one that was near worthless back home but fetched a high price here.

"These humans are weird," Levi often mumbles to himself.

Enough said, Levi now had plenty of funds to live here for a good while if he needed to.

The search for Sunset Shimmer was another story altogether though. Going off by what he knew of her pony appearance and the appearances of some of the upper-class humans that he came to know by name and recognized he was able to come up with a vague description and rough sketch of what the unicorn turn human may look like. Like most humans here Sunset's mane. or hair as they called it here, was a often a dead giveaway.

He got mean leads that lead him to others leads and more after that. Safe to say that a lot of people in this town knew about the bacon hair teen with a rather nasty attitude. The problem was there was to much information and no way to follow all the leads. A good portion of them were from weeks or months ago making them nearly useless to found her, that i if this were somepony else and not a two-hundred year old seasoned track mercenary.

Levi spent the last two day finding out all kinds of info about Sunset Shimmer. He used this to establish a timeline of her actions sense her arrival here. Levi wasn't going to try and figure out the temporal differences between the worlds, that was Team Magic Science Theory job not his.

Levi found that Sunset had a bit of a routine. She was more than well off as Celestia had told hem she took quite a sum from the treasury before she left and judging by this world's monetary value system the Unicorn should be living in the lap of luxury for the most part, or close enough to it as she can get. She wouldn't want to much attention. She was doing well enough that everypony had beef with her attitude be quiet enough to stay out of the sight of the guards, or police as they were called here.

Levi found that one lead was the exact same every time. Ever few days Sunset would come by and stare at the statue in front of the high school. No pony knew what she was doing and nopony wanted to find out, but every other pony would say they saw her talking at the statue, or even yell at it from time to time. One pony even saw her curled up at the base of the statue one time crying.

"That filly has to get her income somewhere they don't ask for I.D.'s or won't ask questions about where it came from. I found that out when I hocked that emerald," Levi rubs his chin. "Luckily magic works here and I was able to use the physic pass form back home. Sunset doesn't have one though meaning she is going through the back alley way, or just a really crumby place with a lot of 'cash' as these humans refer to their currency."

"She has no set schedule as to when she comes by the school to look at the portal either," He paces from wall to wall in his room, clinking his metal fingers behind his back. "Time flow is different for Equestria when it's not connect to the portal though and it moves much slower here than back home as Sunset is still a teenager as the humans say."

"A lone teen can't live just anywhere legally without a parietin or guardian to stay with them like back home," Levi turns and looks at the journal Celestia gave him. "From all accounts she is good health. All this points that she's either been taken in by somepony or she's staying under the radar by forgery. It's likely both though..."

"Smart girl like you can't stay out of the light for long though can you Sunset?" Levi remarks as he pick up a picture that Celestia gave him.

It was taken the day Sunset Shimmer and Summer Sunshine were born. It depicted the foals as the were swaddled in their custom made baby blankets. Celestia had spent a great deal of time in re-learning how to make knit with her hooves instead of magic. The blankets were pink of coarse and embroidered with tiny suns along the edges.

Twin foals weren't entirely uncommon but they were usually the same clan but never had the same color scheme either. So you can imagine the hype was made by identical twin fillies with one being a unicorn and the other a pegasus.

Summer Sunshine was born mere minutes after Sunset Shimmer. She was identical to her older sister in ever way save two in the form of wing instead of a horn and a slightly light color scheme that still matched Sunset to a T. It wasn't apparent when they were first born but after they were cleaned up if you looked really close.

"I may have to go to more arcane methods to find her?" Levi says to himself. "I can't waist time. Tomorrow, I'll be hitting up the darkside of this town," His shadow cover the window over looking the city, "much harder..."
