This story is a sequel to Salting Snails

When Equestria's most famous detective, Basil Bones, comes to Ponyville, it seems like everypony has a case for him to solve. His results are impressive, but his methods are questionable. It's up to the brilliant mind of Twilight Sparkle to get to the bottom of this, accompanied as always by her loyal—and bored—assistant and girlfriend Rainbow Dash.

The fourth story in the Twilight Holmes continuity, following It's Elementary, My Dear Rainbow, TH: Sabotage After Sunset, and Salting Snails. Reading the previous stories is not required to enjoy The Mystery of Basil Bones.

There is something you need to know.

When you go out there inflicting harm to yourself, you're harming me as well. Sometimes things don't go how you'd like them to go, it's a part of life. Eventually, we move on, learn from our mistakes and accidents, and hold our heads high.

Nopony is perfect, and you have nothing to prove to me, or anypony else.

I love you just the way you are.

In the weeks following the coronation of Equestria's new princess, Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash are both troubled by regret. In the face of changes they can never reverse and actions they can never take back, they search for solace in solitude, but instead find each other in the small hours of the morning.

Math is simple. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.

Ponies are not simple. They don't add up like regular numbers do, and just because one answer is four and the other is one does not mean the bigger number is necessarily greater.

Twilight experiences this inequality first hoof when one friend is pitted against four, and she is forced to choose a side, whether she wants to or not.

This story is officially cancelled. You can read my thoughts about it and why this happened here.

The past couple months have been hard on Twilight; she's taken to living in Canterlot Castle to ensure she can truly fulfill her role as a Princess of Equestria. However, the longer she's there, away from her friends, the more she realizes what her life is missing. She has status and friendship, but still she has troubles sleeping as a loneliness clings to her heart. Perhaps she's missing something.

And maybe a friend who shares a similar situation can shed some light on her problems sleeping.

Enter Rainbow Dash, a mare at the top of her world in every way. And yet, in the best hotels the Wonderbolts can buy, she finds the large beds just a little bit too empty to fall asleep.
