Twilight and Pinkie are walking on a gravel road.
“I believe it’s time to give up. We’ve been through every suspect and we haven’t gotten anything other than dead ends.” Pinkie said before face-planting into the ground.
“I’m sorry Pinkie, we’ve done everything we could do. I guess you’re just going to have to make another one.” Twilight said.
Pinkie grabs Twilights face.
“Don’t say that! My cake is out there somewhere! And I want to at least get pay back!” Pinkie said while eye twitching.
Fluttershy walks up to her two friends.
“Um. I don’t think that’s the right way to deal with a problem.” Fluttershy whispered.
A squirrel comes up to Fluttershy and gives her an acorn.
“Hello little one.” Fluttershy said to the squirrel.
“Wait a minute.” Twilight spoke out. Then had an epiphany.
Twilight remembered a squirrel being on the list of suspects being scratched off along with Pinkie Pie as it seemed ludicrous to put them on the spotlight.
“Pinkie Pie. I believe I know who our culprit is.” Twilight said uplifting Pinkie Pie.
The three Ponies went to Fluttershy’s cottage, at a tree where squirrels’ were going inside. Twilight levitated herself and Pinkie Pie to see inside while Fluttershy is flying.
“Ladies, may I present to you, our thief.” Twilight said.
Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie look inside and see a pack of squirrels with bloated bellies lying down next to her almost devoured chocolate cake.
“YOU TOOK MY CAKE!” Pinkie screamed, once again: causing a Ponyville sized magnitude.
Pinkie squeezed herself to fit into the tree and started a fight between the squirrels. Twilight and Fluttershy start walking away.
“What was that all about?” Fluttershy asked?
“Oh someone took Pinkie’s cake and it turned out to be the squirrel, instead of every other Pony.” Twilight said to her.
Pinkie Pie gets thrown out of the tree with a roughed up mane. Twilight is back inside her library and is writing a letter to the Princess.
Dear Princess Celestia,
Today, I had the pleasure of working with my close friend Pinkie Pie. In an attempt to find her missing cake. It turns out the suspect I believed that was the least likely to have done it, was the actual one. From this, I have learned that just because somepony seems unlikely to be able to do something, doesn’t mean that that pony isn’t capable of doing it.
Your always faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle.
Twilight starts to crumble up her letter, but then stops. She then hands it to Spike who decomposes the letter and has the dematerialized letter sent to Princess Celestia in Canterlot. Outside the library, Pinkie is being chased by the angry squirrels.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! You can have the cake! You can have the cake!” Pinkie cried.
The squirrels stop and then compensate Pinkie by giving her a cupcake.
“Thanks.” Said Pinkie. Before she took a bite. “Wait a minute, where did you get this?” She asked halfway angrily.
