Speechless: An MLP Crime Romance

"What are you talking about? Who got them out?!" Moondancer yelled into the phone. Twilight gasped. The Flim Flam Brothers had been released?

She'd had the idea that they should call Canterlot Penitentiary to set up a visit with Flim and Flam, to which Moondancer agreed. She had to admit, the Brothers were the only lead they had on SMILE.

"No, I didn't know that they knew someone who would post their bail!" Twilight grimaced at that. Who would bail out the Flim Flam Brothers?

"Fine, fine. Who posted their bail?" Twilight could hear the Warden talking on the other end.

"ARE YOU SHITTING ME?! Those fuckheads were involved with them?! Oh God! No, no. Don't bother, there's no point. My partner and I will handle it." More words came from the Warden. "Yeah, fine. Okay. Sure, sure. We'll be sure to. Alright, good night." With a groan, she slammed the phone onto the receiver.

"Who bailed them out?" Twilight asked. Moondancer held up a hand, stomping to Twilight's liquor cabinet. She grabbed a bottle of black spiced rum and poured it into a glass, downing it in one shot.

"You're not gonna be happy," Moondancer finally said.

"My happiness isn't important right now, Moonie. Who bailed them out?"

"The Pie Family."

Twilight gasped, shooting to her hooves. She had heard of the Pie Family. No one who lived in Canterlot didn't know the Pie Family. They were one of the oldest crime family's around. Igneous Rock Pie, the current Don, was a hard man, very set in the old ways, and not one to trifle with. If he or one of his daughter's bailed out the Flim Flam Brothers, then that could mean that they are controlling the SMILE distribution.

"Rainbow Dash, the consigliere for their second youngest, went to Canterlot Pen and bailed them out. Last the guards saw, they were bundled into a car," the yellow agent continued.

"Does the Pie Family deal in drugs?" Twilight asked. If they had a history of drug dealing, it wouldn't be a hard leap that they had something to do with SMILE.

"No, unfortunately. Hard liquor, guns, real estate, casino's, brothels, sure, but they've never dealt drugs. I get what you were thinking though. If they did, they could very well be distributing SMILE."

Twilight frowned. Their only leads were gone. They were back to square one.

"The daughter's. What are they like?" she asked. Moondancer shrugged.

"Not a lot is public about them. Limestone is the eldest and being prepped to take over her father's seat. She controls the liquor, guns and money. She's apparently got the personality of a chainsaw wielded by a rabid wolverine." Twilight shuddered at that. Limestone Pie didn't sound like someone she wanted to meet. "Then there's Maudelina Daisy Pie, or Maud. She's...interesting. She doesn't really have the temper of her older sister, she kind of just...exists. But she does her job well. She's got all the real estate that the Pie's own. The second youngest, who Rainbow Dash works for, is Pinkamena Diane Pie, or Pinkie. She's the most outgoing and enthusiastic of the sisters. Her territory actually includes this area where your apartment is. She controls the casinos and brothels; of course, the latter aren't listed as brothel's for legal reasons," Moondancer explained. Twilight jotted down all the names quickly on a piece of scratch paper, along with the details Moondancer gave her.

"Is that it?" she asked.

"There's one more sister, the youngest, Marble. She's even more reclusive than Maud. Only her family really sees her." The tip of her tongue poking out of the side of her mouth, Twilight wrote down Marble's name and then a few question marks.

"Ok. Of the four, who do you think would be the easiest to approach?" the purple girl asked.

"What do you mean?" Moondancer asked, pouring herself another glass of rum.

"We lost our lead, Moondancer. If the Pie's bailed out Flim and Flam, then maybe approaching one of them can give us a new lead," Twilight said.

"Twilight, they won't talk to Federal Agents. Not unless we have a warrant and right now, there's no concrete evidence against them."

"What if one of us went undercover? Get close to one of them and find out what they know that way?"

"We're liable to get shot that way," Moondancer scoffed.

"Well, what else can we do? We're back to square one with the investigation, unless Flim and Flam are brought back. We have to do SOMETHING!"

"I KNOW! You think I don't? I know right now we're dead in the water without the Brothers. I've already got the Director breathing down my neck about the stagnant nature of the case. But, if the Pie's are involved, we have to be careful, or things will get ugly," Moondancer sighed, downing the rum again. Twilight nodded, picking up her scratch paper again. One of the sister's had to know something.

Turning the knob to shut off the water, Pinkie stepped out of her shower. There was something about being under the hot stream that helped to calm her down, and Lord knows she needed it.

This SMILE situation had to be taken care of. Her family already had their hands full dealing with their old rivals in Griffonstone, they didn't need this added on to it.

Her family. They'd deal with it in a variety of ways. Mom and Dad would probably use their connections to weed the manufacturer out. Limestone would just ride around and start breaking down doors and leaving bodies in her wake until she found someone who knew something useful. Maud would probably do the same thing just without the breaking down doors and leaving bodies part.

Yet, here she was. Coming out of the shower. Sometimes being the second youngest sucked. With a heavy sigh, she wrapped the towel around her body, and set to work drying her hair. Sometimes she envied Maud and her low-maintenance bob. After a bit brushing and about a minute of blow drying, she decided to say 'fuck it' and do her full half-hour hair routine in the morning. Her hair straight, she finally opened the bathroom door.

"Bwak, bwak! Hi Pinkie! Why the long face?" A yellow rubber chicken was being held out in front of the door frame and waved back and forth. Boneless was his name.

"Cheese, come on. I'm really not in the mood," Pinkie said, gently pushing the chicken aside and walking out of the bathroom. The man who held the chicken was Cheese Sandwich. He was the fix-it man for the Pie's. Whenever they needed something done that no one else could get done, they called Cheese, because he got shit done.

"I know. Rainbow Dash briefed me," he said with a chuckle, putting Boneless down. "Honestly, the Brothers got off easy. If it were Limestone, she would have already iced them in incredibly hilarious and physically impossible ways. But that's not you." Running a hand through his curly brown hair, he sat down next to Pinkie on the side of her bed. "Still, this SMILE stuff. God, that's the last thing the city needs."

Pinkie sighed, giving him a side look. She liked Cheese. He was nice, he was a good listener, and he was funny. Really funny. To anyone else, he would be the ideal partner. Just...not to her. Ugh, that was a headache in and of itself. Cheese being the one you called to solve problems meant that Pinkie would call him sometimes to solve...special problems. Some of her family (sans Maud) weren't happy about that, calling it 'a waste of his talents.' But, Cheese didn't care. He was fully loyal to the Pies and as such, anything that ANY of them needed, he was there. So, when Pinkie called him one night with her request, he didn't hesitate. He was there for her. And then, Pinkie met Fluttershy. The first girl she became attracted to. The first girl she fell in love with.

Pinkie and Fluttershy met at one of her parents casino's. Pinkie had been nursing her third shot of scotch, on the rocks, when a beautiful goddess approached her. Yellow fur, luxurious pink hair, turquoise eyes that sparkled in the sunlight, and an angelic smile. She wore a simple red dress that was modest but tasteful, with a pair of pumps. To the rest of the casino, who were dressed to the nines and where the ladies had plunging necklines, she looked overdressed. But to Pinkie, she stood out. In a sea of bodies, Fluttershy would be instantly recognizable. Yes, Pinkie was dumbstruck, and head over heels for the pink haired beauty.

But unfortunately, fate was not kind.

Fluttershy liked Pinkie, she did, and as time went on, they became friends. But Fluttershy, outside of the casino, was a very timid girl. She worked at the animal shelter in the city, and she was also training to be a veterinarian, and while she didn't disapprove of Pinkie's family or their activities, she couldn't understand why they did them. Pinkie tried to assure her that her family's activities wouldn't affect them, but Fluttershy just couldn't shake her feeling. She knew that if they were together that the two of them would constantly be looking over their shoulder. So, she had to reject Pinkie's feelings. But, the two remained friends and eventually, Pinkie introduced Fluttershy to Rainbow Dash.

It was that decision that sealed her fate. When Fluttershy met Rainbow Dash, it was truly love at first sight for the yellow girl. The two of them hit it off instantly, and after Rainbow received Pinkie's blessing, the two started dating soon after, and still are to this day.

It was after that that the arrangement between Pinkie and Cheese became more frequent.

She just...needed someone to get rid of the pain.

"Cheese, I understand what you're trying to do, but I don't want to talk about this. I called you to fix an issue, not have a heart to heart. So will you please just take off your pants and fuck the shit out of me?" Pinkie finally asked. Cheese smiled at her, putting a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Whatever you say."

Twilight sat alone in her living room about 2 hours later. Moondancer had left, saying that they'd talk more about the case in the morning and warning her to not stay up too late. But Twilight couldn't sleep. Her mind still dwelled on the Pie family.
Whether or not they were involved in SMILE, they were still an obstacle. Moondancer was right, however. Approaching them now, without a plan, was suicide. If there was one thing Twilight Sparkle was good at, though, it was planning. Getting up to make another pot of tea, Twilight briefly checked her phone. A few messages from the Chief, some well wishes from her parents. Oh, and a text from her little brother. She hadn't talked to Spike in a while.

Twilight: Hey, little brother. What are you doing up so late?
Spike: Sorry, Twilight. I just couldn't sleep. I was worried about you. Mom and Dad are too.
Twilight: Spike, don't worry. I wouldn't have gone through all of that extensive training if I didn't think I could handle it.
Spike: Okay, I trust you. Are you still gonna be home for Christmas?
Twilight: Of course, someone needs to keep you from eating all the cookies! :D
Spike: Aw, Twi! I don't do that anymore! :(
Twilight: Spike, you did that the week after Mom and Dad brought you home. Don't worry, LBBFF, I'm just teasing. Now, I'm sure you have school tomorrow, so you need to get some sleep.
Spike: Okay. Stay safe, Twilight. Nite. Love u
Twilight: Goodnight, Spike. I love you too.

Twilight shook her head with a smile, before putting away her phone. Spike had been adopted by her family when she was 6 and Shining Armor, her big brother, was about 13. His birth parents died from a car accident. They were heading to the Dragon Land's to visit his aunt. Poor Spike was only a baby.

Twilight Velvet and Night Light felt so bad for the little guy, that there was no question they'd adopt him. It took some adjusting for Spike to be in a new home, with new parents, and even a new set of siblings, but Twilight and Shining fell in love with their new little brother. Even after Shining left for the military, he would send Spike and Twilight as many letters as he could. Then, eventually, Twilight left home, and Spike was heartbroken. But, he and his sister video-called almost every day, and Twilight always kept her little brother in her heart. It didn't matter that he wasn't her blood, he was her brother and that's all there was to it.

The teapot whistled, and Twilight turned off the heat, pouring the scalding hot water into her 'Talk Nerdy To Me' mug with the tea bag already inside. Letting it steep for 3 minutes, and after a few scoops of sugar and a dash of milk, Twilight brought the mug back to the couch. On the coffee table was her laptop. Time to burn the midnight oil and get to planning.

'This is exactly what I needed,' Pinkie thought, gritting her teeth as Cheese thrust into her again. Just being able to let go, and focus on carnal pleasure. That's what she needed after the day she had.
Her fingers digging into Cheese's back, she clenched her inner walls around the hardened flesh, earning a moan from him.

"Ahah! Fuck, you know how hard it is for me to keep going when you do that," Cheese mumbled.

"Then pick up the pace. You're going too slow. I want you to fuck me until I can't walk," Pinkie said, locking her legs tightly around his waist.

"I don't want to hurt you," Cheese said with a sigh.

Pinkie smiled, stroking the back of his head. "You won't hurt me in a way I won't like. Trust me. Just...please. Go as hard as you can," she said.

Cheese looked at her, before leaning down and kissing her full on the lips. Pinkie's eyes opened wide, but before she could register the action, Cheese pulled away and began powerful jackhammer-like thrusts. She gasped, arching her back, as her fingers clawed at his back again. Cheese reached forward and took a strong hold on her straight hair, allowing him to get deeper within her.

"Oh God! Yes!" Pinkie moaned, her toes curling. Cheese leaned down to suck and nibble on her neck, continuing the rhythm of his thrusts.

"Mmm. That's it, cum for me, you little slut," he growled.

"Yes! Yes, I'm a slut! Fuck me!"

The two reaching their respective climaxes, they slumped against each other, breathing hard. Cheese gathered Pinkie in his arms, and smiled into her hair.

"I won't let anything happen to you, Pinkie. Ever," he said, as sleep claimed him.

Pinkie, however, couldn't sleep. Her mind returned to the kiss that Cheese had given her.

She felt guilty. He genuinely loved her, and she knew she couldn't give him what he wanted. With a sigh, Pinkie waited until she was sure that Cheese was fully asleep, before pulling herself out of his arms. She tied a silk robe around her and then headed out onto her balcony, the one that overlooked the sea. The wind blew through her hair, as she looked off beyond the horizon where the moon shone on the water, bringing back memories of when she was young.

Before she became known as 'the Don's Daughter'.

Before she knew of their family's legacy.

Before she was inducted into the family business.

When she was just...Pinkie Pie.

She and Marble were only 7. Maud spent most of her time with the two of them. Limestone, being the eldest, was far too busy. One day, Maud asked Pinkie what she wanted to be when she grew up. To the day she dies, Pinkie will always remember her answer with crystal clarity.

"I wanna travel around the world and make everyone happy! Throw parties for people, bake yummy treats, and keep everyone smiling."

Maud's answer was a sad smile, ruffling Pinkie's hair, and saying, "I hope you get what you want in the end, little sister." Oh, if only Pinkie knew then what she knew today.

She rubbed her eyes of the tears that came unbidden, and let out a heavy sigh.

When the sun came up tomorrow, she'd resume her responsibilities, she'd act like the grown up she is; the Don's daughter.

But for now, just for a few more hours, she could let herself return to the past. When the world made sense.
