A Pinkamena Problem

A Pinkamena Problem

The milk chocolate sat on the desk. It was bright and sunny outside.

From this fact Cocoa Meringue, Ponyville's greatest

and only private detective ( they didn't need more because he was so

good)., deduced that Rainbow Dash had actually done

her job for once, but this thought was brief because he remembered it

was scheduled to rain that day.

Cocoa Meringue was propped up in his chair with his back legs atop

his desk as he leaned back in his seat.

At a glance, you might think he was in deep thought, but after closer

observation you'd see he was playing Dream Drop Distance on his Pown-ES

(Ponyville's hit game console.)

After awhile of relaxing in this spot he heard a knock

on the door. It didn't sound like a hoof, more like a face.

The detective guessed it was Pinkie Pie with her usual missing item.

"Pinkamena Diane Pie it's been awhile," he said sarcasticaly.

Pinkie Pie responded in her usual happy voice, " No, it hasn't.

I just saw you yesterday. "

He gave her a joking look, and she tilted her head to the side confused.

Cocoa ventured "What do you need Pinkie?

"Oh!" she exclaimed loudly,"I think I lost something,

but I'm not sure what it was."

Cocoa replied,"You want me to look for something your not sure you lost?"

Pinkie joyfully responded, "That's the idea!"

Cocoa decided to inquire (after all he enjoyed Pinkie),

"Do you know what the missing item might be?"

"No, not really, if you haven't noticed, if you haven't noticed I've been

forgetting stuff lately."

Cocoa responded sarcastically, "No, really?"

Pinkie obliviously replied "yep its true. Even my pinkie

sense has been off."

This grabbed Cocoa's attention; he couldn't think of anything that

caused that. He took a closer look at Pinkie and saw

her color had faded slightly, and her hair was a teeny bit smaller.

"Pinkie are you feeling okay?" he asked.

"Why is something wrong? "she replied worriedly.

Cocoas suspicions were confirmed. Pinkie was right something was missing.

Cocoa feared it may be an important part of Pinkie.

Thinking back he realized she seemed sad. He had noticed she'd been

getting confused alot lately and losing things often. Cocoa decided this

would be a pro bono case. He would help his friend. He quickly accepted

the case. Pinkie Pie said ,"Thanks slowly and calmly. Her response worried

Cocoa most of all.

Cocoa began by investigating Pinkies room above Sugar Cube Corner. He

saw a picture of a filly Pinkie Pie, with her family farming rocks. He

further surveyed the room for an important looking item. After all he had

no idea what he was searching for.

He noticed in the picture of Pinkie's family, she had a small but very

pretty rock. It was a vague lead, but at least it was one.

The next step was to talk to Pinkie and get more information, but

Fluttershy wouldn't allow it. Pinkie was not doing well she had

been pretending to be normal, when in truth she was exhausted. Pinkie was

fading fast. The detective boarded the Friendship Express using his

detective's pass issued by mayor mare. He headed to Pinkie's rock farm to

question her sisters about the interesting rock.

Night was falling when Cocoa arrived, and the cold air was settling in. His

silver mane and detective's jacket would help keep his light brown

fur warm. Everything was gray. The train station was a large boulder. The

friendship express quickly departed.The trained whistled loudly. The

sound flowed behind the chuffing device. Cocoa Meringue thought about

what the conductor had told him.He would need to be back early the next

morning to catch the return train. Walking a little ways he saw Pinkie's

home. The Farm fields were gravel with large rocks that had trails behind

them, almost as if they had been rolled back and forth between the different

parts of the field. Cocoa couldn't help but wonder about the trails, but

knowing Pinkie Pie he determined not everything at her home would make

make sense. He knocked on the main house's door. Moments later, Inkie

answered. She was a little confused. Inkie didn't know him, and she

couldn't think of any reason there would be a visitor. Still, She felt trusting

of his serious, but kind look.

"Uhm, I'm sorry, but what are you doing out here?" She asked curiously

"Are you Inkie Pie?" Cocoa responded.

"Yes, I am. Why?"

Cocoa relieved it was the right house, continued "It's about Pinkie.

somethings wrong with her, I think it has something to do with this

stone. He held up the picture he'd found in Pinkies room.

Inkie was slightly concerned, but not quite what Cocoa expected.

"Well, I think that's the stone the stone Pinkie found after she saw

a giant rainbow light up the sky. It was the first thing that made her happy.

She even made the first Pinkie promise to that stone. Inkie continued still

feeling trusting. "The promise was, 'I can't be happy without this stone by

my side." Cocoa and Inkie continued talking into the night. Inkie had

decided she was quite fond of Cocoa and invited him to stay the night.

Cocoa gladly accepted relieved that he wouldn't freeze to death.

He recalled that Pinkie had more family members, so he asked.

"Pinkie mentioned other family members," If you don't mind me asking

'why are you all alone?"

Inkie looked sadly the foyer window where they were sitting. She

finally responded, "It's a family matter."

Cocoa understood and didn't pester her about it.

Early the next morning Cocoa and Inkie stood on the train platform.

The train pulled into its stop for the final time.

Even though she knew this , Inkie was returning to Ponyville with Cocoa

She had persuaded him to let her go. She wanted to help her sister Pinkie

and attempt to forget her home.

The train pulled into Ponyville around mid-day. They knew Pinkie's stone

was missing. It had to be around Ponyville somewhere. Inkie and Cocoa

searched everywhere. They searched Pinkie's room Rarity's Boutique, and

The Spa. Finally, Inkie needed a break and suggested they stop by Cocoa's

office. Cocoa pushed the door open with his hoof, trotted in and sat down.

Inkie walked in restraining a smile, but when she got past the door the door

her face returned to normal.

Cocoa, observing this phenomenon, told Inkie to go stand in the doorway

causing her to begin laughing. Cocoa rushed to the door and started

rapidly searching around the frame. Pinkie's stone was affecting

her sister. He found it in the bush outside his door. Pinkie must have

dropped it while visiting for his birthday last week.

They rushed to Fluttershy's House. Pinkie was nearly gray. Her hair

lay completely flat around her sides. Cocoa placed the stone on Pinkie's

head. She instantly sprang up as her hair exploded, laughing loudly. Inkie

quickly hugged her sister. after a moment of listening to Pinkie's

excitedness. Inkie looked up at Cocoa and said.

"I Think I would like to apply for a job."
