My Little Pony: Justice is Served
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSprinklejinx's POV
I hear the pitter patter of hooves approaching me from behind. Somepony rams into me making me nearly fall over.
" What were you doing all by yourself with your head down? Is there something wrong?" Thunderwing asks.
" I was eating the grass. Can't a mare get some peace and quiet around here?" I ask.
" Honey Flower and I were looking all over for you. We have a mystery to solve." Thunderwing says. That's a surprise. We haven't had a case to solve in over a week. Ponyville doesn't have a very high crime rate. I'd probably be better off living in bigger cities like Fillydelphia or Manehatten. But that's besides the point. I follow Thunderwing back to headquarters. Rainbow Dash is standing inside waiting for me. She stares straight ahead as if she was looking at something miles away. She's usually so carefree and collected. I wonder what's bothering her.
" Can I help you?" I ask. Rainbow Dash loses the last shred of composure she had. She breaks down and sobs on Honey Flower's shoulder.
" Lightning Dust was killed last night. I found her in her bed. Everypony thinks I'm the murderer." Rainbow Dash cries. The last thing I planned on seeing today is Rainbow Dash reduced to a blubbering mess.
" Do you know anypony who would want to kill her?" I ask.
" I don't know. Pinkie Pie and her got into a fight yesterday." Rainbow Dash says.
" Now we're getting somewhere." Honey Flower says.
" But so did Spit Fire." Rainbow Dash says.
" Spit Fire? She would never." Thunderwing says in an astonished tone.
" What was the fighting all about?" Honey Flower asks.
" Pinkie got mad at Lightning Dust for trying to get me to try steroids." Rainbow Dash says.
"What about Spit Fire?" I ask.
" She showed up late for flying lessons. She's still kind of cranky about the tornado too." Rainbow Dash says.
" You could go home now, Rainbowdash. We're going to check on the crime scene right away." Thunderwing says. Rainbowdash walks away despondently.
" Do you think she'll be alright?" Honey Flower asks.
" I don't know if she'll ever be the same." I reply. Thunderwing moans and kicks his desk. The microscope gets launched into the wall and breaks.
" Way to go. You know that's coming out of your paycheck, right." I say.
" I don't care." Thunderwing moans.
" Is there something wrong?" Honey Flower asks. Thunderwing throws himself on the floor and covers his face with his hooves.
" Lightning Dust is my half sister." Thunderwing weeps.
