Expert spy: Pinkie Pie

Previous ChapterNext Chapter( The Cakes' Bakery: 11:30 AM)
Pinkie had just gotten an extensive list of employees at Apple Corp. and she had just sat down to read it. "Okay, I just have to find a pony named Boomer, easy enough." thought Pinkie. There was one big problem though, the names weren't in alphabetical order, it was arranged by who worked where. Pinkie Pie assumed that Mild Cherry and Boomer might be friends, they would work in the same area, the packaging room.
The following names were found on the list who worked in the packaging room:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Redd Airing
Mild Cherry
Boomer Strike
Boomer Serve
Nopa Ycheck
Boomerang Snipe
Star Cloud
_________________________________________________________________________________________________
"I swear, somepony is TRYING to throw me off!" Pinkie said gruffly
(Packaging room, Apple Corp: 1:40)
When Pinkie arrived at the packaging room, she had three general thoughts on her mind.
1. Find the three "Boomer" ponies and interrogate them
Stay away from Mild Cherry
Cupcakes.
The next thing she did was ask a random pony if he knew Boomer Serve.
"Excuse me pal, but do you know Boomer Serve?" she asked hesitantly
"Yeah, that's me." he said calmly
"Are you and Mild Cherry close?" asked Pinkie
"Nope, I don't swing that way." he said, slightly defensive
"Sorry for bothering you." she said calmly
For the next half hour, Pinkie Pie asked everyone in the packaging room if they knew Boomer Strike or Boomer Snipe, she did eventually encounter Strike, but that conversation yielded the same results as the conversation with Serve. She had talked to everypony but one.
"I'm assuming you must be Miss Boomer Snipe, correct?" said Pinkie formally
"Yes." replied Boomerang Snipe. She was a unicorn who stood out from the rest, but in a graceful, serene way. Her fur was a rusty gold, and her hair was a dusty brown. She also wore glasses.
"Are you in any way, shape, or form related to Mild Cherry?" Pinkie asked, tired of interrogating
"We're close friends, yes." Boomerang Snipe glanced aside, as if trying to hide something.
"How long have you known each other?" she asked
"Two years, we both started working at Apple Corp. at the same time." said Snipe
"Okay. I guess that's all I needed to here." Pinkie stopped interrogating when she realized that she had no evidence to accuse anypony of anything.
She decided to go back to the Police station for advice.
(Ponyville Police Station 3:40 PM)
"Chief, I'm all out of ideas. I don't have any evidence! Just witnesses who won't give out information!" said Pinkie
The police chief glanced up from his newspaper.
"Did you try searching his house?" he said
"But isn't that... illegal?" she said
"Not if you have permission to enter." he said
"I'll see if I can ask! Thanks chief!" said Pinkie, gratefully
"Yeah whatever, just go away now please." said the chief
(Outside the Apple Corp. building 4:10 PM)
For the third time, Pinkie went to speak with Wild Berry. Luckily for him, Pinkie had decided not to put on her "Bad cop" persona.
"OH SWEET CELESTIA HAVE MERCY!" cried Wild Berry
"Listen, this will hopefully be the last of my questions, so you better cooperate!" said Pinkie
"Yes, Ma'am" he gulped
"I need to ask you for a favor. Permission to search your house. You share it with Mild Cherry, right?" she asked
"Yeah, he lives there, but will you make it quick, if he finds out, it's not gonna be pretty." said Wild Berry nervously
"Thanks! I'll make it as quick as possible." she said eagerly
(Cherry residence: 5:06 PM)
"Alright! It's investigation time!" Pinkie bellowed
The first place she began to search was Mild Cherry's room. Inside were photos of Cherry's family, they looked so happy in the pictures, but Mild Cherry seemed very bitter in person.
Pinkie knew she couldn't take something from his home, because 1. she couldn't carry it, and 2. Mild Cherry would notice. So Pinkie had just borrowed a camera from the Police station to take pictures of evidence.
The photos were nothing special, just family pictures, but there was one that stood out in particular. It was Mild Cherry and Boomerang Snipe, holding hooves and looking at the sunset.
"Oooh, something tells me this means something!" said Pinkie, who proceeded to take a picture of the picture.
The next thing that stood out to Pinkie was a boomerang and a sponge covered in cranberry juice.
Before she could investigate any further, Pinkie heard a knock on the door. So she jumped out of a window and ran back to Apple Corp.
(Apple Corp. building, packaging room 5:40 PM)
Pinkie's next priority was to speak to Boomerang Snipe about her connection with Mild Cherry. She was prepared with evidence now.
"Ms. Snipe, may I speak to you for a sec?" Pinkie asked
"Sure, is there a problem?" Snipe appeared to be masking her worrying with fake confidence.
"There's a few questions I need to ask you. It'll be quick, I Pinkie promise." said Pinkie
Suddenly, the area around Pinkie became dark, and the only thing she could see clearly was Boomerang Snipe. There was a transparent door in front of her, that only Pinkie could see, the door had three locks on it. Perhaps it had to do with Snipe?
"Okay, so let me ask you. What is your connection with Mild Cherry?" she asked
"I already told you, we're friends. Is there anything wrong with that?" Snipe replied
"Actually there is, and I can prove it! Maybe." said Pinkie
"Take this!" bellowed Pinkie
Pinkie then presented the photo of Mild Cherry and Boomerang Snipe to her, and one of the locks on the transparent door vanished.
Snipe almost lost her composure for a second, but then she caught herself and remained calm.
"Well, that could be from anywhere! I could've bought that from a store or something! Anypony could've taken that photo!" said Snipe calmly
"Actually, it was from somewhere you should be quite familiar with!" said Pinkie confidently
"Take this!" said Pinkie
Next, Pinkie presented a photo of Mild Cherry's room, with the photo still in it. One of the locks on the transparent door disappeared.
"Somepony knows how to bluff, that could be anypony in that picture, where's your proof that I would be that close with Mild Cherry, hmm?" said Boomerang Snipe
"Take a lookie right here, ma'am!" said Pinkie
"Take this!" said Pinkie
Lastly, Pinkie presented the boomerang she found in Cherry's room.
"Playing with Boomerangs is an uncommon hobby in Ponyville, wouldn't you agree? Well, I don't think I'd too far off if I said that Cherry had that Boomerang because you gave it to him!" Pinkie concluded
Then, the final lock on the transparent door broke,the area around them turned to normal, and Snipe flinched like she had just seen something terrible.
"OK, I give up. Mild Cherry and I are currently dating. I gave that boomerang to him as an engagement gift. Is that what you wanted to hear?" she said, tired out
Suddenly, Mild Cherry barged in, irritated.
(NOTE: THE FOLLOWING BIT CONTAINS FOUL LANGUAGE, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.)
"Hey you! Yeah, you the cop! I've got something to say!" he cried
"First and foremost, stay the FUCK away from my girlfriend! Keep your nose in your own business, it has nothing to do with you! Secondly, I'm tired of your bullshit detective-ass work, you act like you're a professional, but that's hardly the case! Also, you broke into my house, Wild Berry told me! What kind of dick move is that?!??!? I'm sick of all this SHI-"
The rest of his speech is incomprehensible, comprised only of sounds of nonsense rage.

"Hey. There's no need for such foal language, am I right?" said Pinkie, who fell over at her own joke
