Good cupcakes... even better than before. Dexter thought as he bit his one. Pinkie Pie brought them at the library for free to ease Twilight's sadness.

Twilight Sparkle already pulled herself together. She was the Element of Magic after all, she couldn't cry all days.

She was having breakfast, the cupcakes, with Dexter and Spike at the table. Spike had already eaten and went do his chores, rearranging the books etc.

"So how are you?" Dexter asked Twilight at the table.

"It's better." she replied simply and continued in eating.

She doesn't wanna talk about it.

Then they ate there in silence for a while.

"Dexter," Twilight spoke at Dexter sitting opposite her. "are you dating Fluttershy?"

Dexter rolled his eyes in shock. "What?!" he immediately blurted. He seriously didn't expect this question. "What am I?!"

She began to blush. "Uh... sorry, I thought you are..." she replied, her voice getting quiet.

"No, no, no!" he assured her, scandalized. "How did you even come to this?!"

She was surprised by his reaction. Twilight tilted her head, searching for appropriate words in her mind. Her cheeks were completely red now. Then she looked up at him again. "Well," she started but paused and sighed, "you know..." she put her hoof on the chin, "the way she looks at you... you came at the library late from hers, one night... and that kiss at yesterday night... I just thought you and Fluttershy are already dating!"

As Spike heard it, he immediately stopped to do his work and to the dining room. "What did ya just say, Twi? Dex here is dating Fluttershy?"

"No, Spike, that's a misunderstanding!" Dexter said.

"Oh come on," Spike slyly smiled, "you can tell us, big guy." and approached Dexter to hear better.

"No! Twilight tell him!"

Twilight sighed with a slight smile. "Spike, Dexter is not dating Fluttershy..."

Yes. Dexer nodded.

She continued: "... But Fluttershy is in love with Dexter. That's how it is andy ou can't prove me wrong." she exclaimed triumphanly.

Yes... NO!... Yes... it's true... Dexter sighed.

"Oh seriously?" Spike spoke. "Cool! And you were telling me that you're not good at hittin' on mares!"

Dexter facepalmed. I'm done.

"You don't seem to like that Fluttershy likes - or rather loves - you." Twilight said.

"Of course I don't!" Dexter snapped. How could I do?!

The lavender unicorn was a bit confused. "But why?" She didn't know. "Fluttershy is a very pretty and kind mare... -" Spike was nodding.

"But she is a pegasus, you know!"

"Oh, you're more into earth ponies and unicorns?" Twilight questioned curiously.

He facepalmed again. "No! I am not into any PONIES!"

Twilight squinted her eyes. "Hey, what do you have against ponies?"

"Nothing! Ponies just... just don't attract me much!" he awkwardly explained.

"Yeah," Spike chimed in, "I used to say this before I met... Rarity..." and lost in thoughts as he said the name.

"Maybe you'll change your mind after some time, Dexter."

Spike nodded.

Maybe. "Okay..." Dexter said and looked at through the window at empty street. Let's change the topic. "Much ponies don't go outside now, right?"

Spike agreed. "Yeah and I dunno why." He shrugged.

"Go to your room Spike." Twilight commanded.

Of course she didn't tell him, he's yet a kid.

"Uh, why Twilight?" he asked.

"Just go!"

And he went.

Twilight seemed to be a bit depressed again.

I shouldn't have said that. "I'm sorry, Twilight, I shouldn't have remind -"

"No," she interrupted Dexter. "It's alright. After all, the princess is going to visit us today, I mustn't let my feelings control me so much, she must be sure that I am able to help." Then she put a sheepish smile on the face.

Great, 'cause I don't wanna have to calm you. I'm not even sorry. "I am truly sorry for your loss Twilight."

"I don't want to talk about it now, okay?" she ended it and left the table.

***

What a catastrophe can one single sudden murder cause. Ponyville streets are almost completely empty. No children playing, no lines in front of stalls, only few courageous ponies. One of them was the arrogant stallion, a.k.a 'fucking dick', which recently got what he deserved, talking with his companions.

"Oh guys, if I'd only saw that bucking killer, I'd beat him up to unconsciousness! Yeah, I'd be a hero!" he exclaimed and made few fighter gestures.

"Yeah, says the one who got his ass kicked by a monkey!" laughed a green pegasus stallion.

"Shut up cunt!" the first one replied in an annoyed hiss.

"Hey, don't call Dexter a monkey!" Rainbow Dash yelled from above.

"I can call that creep whatever I want!" he shouted.

Rainbow Dash frowned. She was about to fly down and punch him in the face.

But then everypony bowed down as princess Celestia with her two guards and the police officer by her side walked by. She was heading to the library and Rainbow Dash knew it so she followed her while flying.

***

The guards stood still at the library's door like obedient dogs.

"It's nice to see you again, your highness." said Dexter and bowed down before her.

"Please, call me Celestia." she told him.

"Oh great..." Great? "I mean... that's kind of you... to... let me call you by your... name" What the fuck am I saying, the 'great' would do.

The princess chuckled, but still ellegantly. I can't say this about Rainbow Dash, she was barely holding her laughter quiet. "You have no reason to be nervous in my presence, Dexer Morgan, seriously." Celestia assure him in a soothing voice.

"Oh... great..." He smiled sheepishly and glanced over his shoulder at the two amused mares. "Nice to meet you again, too, police officer." said Dexter when he turned his look back.

"Thanks, you too." the stallion replied dryly.

"Princess, sir, may I offer you to sit down?" Twilight questioned.

"That would be great." the dark blue stallion replied and went to the couch and sat down on it.

"I can stand, but thank you, my student. " Celestia said politely and Twilight proudly grinned with eyes closed.

So they were talking there like that until they finally got to the point. Then the room's atmosphere was way more sheepish. Dexter has never talked about murders so awkwardly. But after some time he finally realized one thing - he didn't need to kill - and it scared him a bit, but then he just had to smile, in the usual sly way.

I don't need to kill anymore, he thought, I already don't feel it inside, another smile, It's... unbelievable, is my Dark passenger already gone? Does this land heal or what? Don't know but it's... great!

"Are you all right?" Celestia worriedly asked him. "You was seeming to be distracted."

Uh... "I'm fine." Dexter replied.

The cop was annoyed a bit. "So, we should go to that... Bon-Bon." he exclaimed.

"Yeah, that's what I said." Dexter said. "Yes, she's the main suspect, she was Lyra's roommate and she was always with her." But he was somewhere else in his mind. I don't need to kill, that's just... awesome!

Celestia simply nodded with a serious face expression. "But I think that I can't go with you. I've got my duties in the castle and I've got to be there."

"You even don't have to go to the mare, your highness, I will handle it." the stallion said.

Celestia nodded again.

"And I and Dexter are going too." Twilight Sparkle stated.

"I think I'm going with you guys too." then Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

The cop seemed to be little bit annoyed by those ponies butting in.

"Lyra... my Lyra..." was Bon-Bon repeating over and over.

Curtains draw, the room was in darkness. She was lying on her bed, looking terrible, with a wet photo of her friend... or rather her secret love. She was repeating the name, crying there about an hour and she didn't seem to stop already; the pillow was almost all wet by the shed tears. Her love was gone and is never going to come back, it pained her everytime she thought about it.

A knocking on the door was heard. "Police, open the door!"

"Uh...?" Bon-Bon slowly got up from the bed, dried her eyes, combed her mane a bit and went open the door to Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, the police officer and Dexter Morgan. "What do you want from me?" she dryly asked and gazed with those swollen eyes of hers at them.

The cop was a bit startled by what just opened the door. She looked like a body without a soul. "We need to talk to you." he said calmly.

"Twilight..." she turned her look at the lavender mare. "What's going on?"

The cop opened the mouth to answer but Twilight cut him off. "Don't be afraid, Bon-Bon, we just need to talk to you about... you know... please, let us in."

Bon-Bon was hesitating.

"If you're not lettin' us in then you're gonna be officially the main suspect of the murder, think about it!" Rainbow Dash said.

Dexter was slowly nodding.

"That's what I wanted to say." the stallion said with squinted eyes.

Bon-Bon sighed. "Okay..."

As they walked in, they were furtively looking around for some suspicious things but haven't found any. They were going to the bedroom when Bon-Bon stopped them.

"Uh..." she spoke sheepishly. "Let's go to the living room."

So they all went.

Bon-Bon uncovered the windows. The sunlight illuminated the furniture in the room. A colourful carpet covered all the floor. Cupboards with photos of Bon-Bon and Lyra, closets, a brown couch and two armchairs near the table in the center of room. It was perfectly tidy.

Bon-Bon offered them to sit down. The cop took a spot on the couch, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash too, Dexter sat down on one of those armchairs; Bon-Bon sat down on the other one.

They sat there in silence for a while, maybe waiting for Bon-Bon to offer them a coffee or tea. She didn't just stared at the floor sadly. Dexter was glad that he almost can't feel the awkwardness of this situation, but the other did feel it and weren't sure what to say. The cop was annoyed.

"So," the stallion just started, "Where were you yesterday at night?" he questioned with a serious look.

"I was home alone." Bon-Bon answered.

The cop squinted his eyes. "And who can testify it?"

"No... 'cause I was... uh... home alone...?"

"Okay... of course..." he replied nervously.

Rainbow Dash let out an annoyed sigh and spoke: "These questions are dumb! Did you kill Lyra or not!?" she yelled and approached her.

Tears appeared in Bon-Bon's eyes. "How..." she sniffed, "H-how can you s-say that?" she was already almost crying. "I-I would never ever do s-such a thing..." Her voice lowered and then she began to bawl loudly.

The others glared at the pegasus mare angrily, except Dexter.

"Rainbow, that wasn't nice." Twilight told her quietly.

"Yeah, wasn't, but we need to get to the bucking point!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

The police officer facehoofed.

Bon-Bon was crying. "C-Could you, please, go n-now?"

The stallion considered it appropriate, nodded and got up from the couch. Everyone did too. Bon-Bon led them to the door and immediately closed when they were already out.

"You, young filly, seriously bucked it up!" said the stallion.

"Hey!" Rainbow Dash snapped back.

Dexter spoke: "Bon-Bon is not the one."

The cop squinted his eyes as he usually does. "And how can you know that, huh?"

"She bawled like a baby, haven't you noticed?"

"She was faking it!"

Dexter sighed. "No, trust me, I can recognize it, she was not."

"Yes," Twilight chimed in. "I, too, think so."

Rainbow Dash didn't say anything, she was still piqued, frowning.

The stallion hesitated, didn't want to agree with but then unwillingly nodded. Pressure.
