The night of Ronald Camp’s party arrived; it was sure to be the height of class and sophistication. It’s a magnificent home indeed, with an extremely formal party in progress. People arrived from all around just to attend the grand event, dressed in the finest attire and driving the most luxurious vehicles. Twenty to thirty people were having champagne, caviar, and hot air. One such person in particular was famed Miami Dolphin quarterback, Dan Marino, who was just telling folks about the upcoming Super Bowl game as they sat together.
“We just choked in 82,” He explained. “We had a chance to win, and we didn’t. But nobody’s gonna choke this time; if they do, I’ll kill ‘em!”
This caused everyone to laugh, while everyone else entered the mansion.
Meanwhile, another group of individuals made their way into the party. The first of the group were the Mane Six and Spike themselves. Thanks to Rarity, they were all once more dressed in amazing dresses and a tuxedo.
Behind them Ace Ventura and Melissa Robinson followed behind, the latter reluctantly agreeing to accompany them for this event. Ace wore a white ivory suit jacket and black pants while Melissa wore a simple low cut black dress. As the group made their way towards the party, they all couldn’t help but marvel at the sight of Camp’s home.
“Sweet Celestia!” Rarity marveled. “What a lovely mansion. If we weren’t here to investigate Mr. Camp’s involvement in the missing dolphin, I’d ask him for the number of his contractor.”
“Take it easy, Home Improvement,” Rainbow jested. “We’re here to work, not stare.”
“Well, I don’t understand why we can’t do both!”
“Ooh, I bet Mr. Camp has loads of super-duper fun parties in a place this big!” Pinkie smiled widely. “But I’m sure if he puts up a bunch of streamers, party balloons, and hires a wicked D.J., maybe it can be close to the parties I’d throw.”
“Ah’m pretty sure this here Camp feller don’t throw them kinda parties Pinkie,” Applejack told her.
Pinkie proceeded to gasp rather loudly, and dramatically, in shock at what her country friend told her.
“No streamers?!” She gasped. “No balloons?! No D.J.?! No cake and ice cream?! I don’t even want to begin to think about that!”
“Who else but Pinkie Pie?!” Spike shrugged.
Ace and Melissa climbed the impressive stairway leading to Camp’s mansion behind the Mane Six and Spike.
“Again Melissa, I want to thank you for coming on short notice,” Twilight thanks her.
“I’m really going out on a limb here, Twilight,” Melissa retorted. “Camp’s social events are strictly A-list.”
“’Well, Chuck… the date started off good, but just before we got to the party, she seemed to tense up’,” Ace quoted ‘Love Connection’.
Love Connection?
A T.V. dating show that ran for eleven seasons starting in the 80s.
Oh…
Anyways… Melissa rolled her eyes, then tapped a huge door knocker before turning back toward Ace.
“I swear, if you do anything to embarrass me in front of Camp…”
“You mean like this?”
Ace started doing a spastic body convulsion, making all sorts of weird noises, much to the annoyance of Melissa and a majority of the girls.
“Honestly Ace, would it kill you to show some class and sophistication?” Rarity groaned.
“Aww come on Ms. Grumpy Pants,” Pinkie spoke, placing an arm around her friend’s shoulder. “Have a little fun in your life.”
Just then, a bald-headed butler, resembled Gavin McCloud, opened the door. Ace doesn’t notice till Melissa struck him with her purse.
“Owwe!!!” Ace screamed.
It was then Ace saw the butler and still proceeded to act like a total goof.
“Oh, hi Captain Stubing,” He spoke jokingly.
Melissa just stormed in, already pissed with the rest of the Mane Six and Spike, who were rather annoyed, following behind. As the group entered, they gazed in amazement over the house’s interior. Hundreds of patrons filled the room, all conversing and enjoying the festivities. Meanwhile, Camp himself noticed the group entering and immediately greeting them.
“Melissa!” Camp greeted, kissing her hand. “Glad you could make it! Oh, and who are your companions for this evening?”
Melissa faced the group and first decided to introduce them, since she wasn’t ashamed of being seen with them.
“Ron, these are my friends Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Spike,” She introduced.
“My what exquisite names,” Ron smiled, shaking each hand individually. “I am glad to meet you all and I hope you enjoy tonight.”
“Thank you very much Mr. Camp,” Twilight responded gratefully.
Melissa turned to Ace, albeit more reluctantly.
“This is my date,” She said hesitantly. “He’s a… lawyer.”
“Well, does he have a name, or should I call him ‘Lawyer’?” Camp asked.
Ace couldn’t help but laugh, as did Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. This caused a few flares to fly their way from Melissa and the rest of the group.
“Oh come on, that was a good one!” Rainbow shrugged.
“I’m sorry, it’s Ace – ah, Tom Ace,” Melissa stammered
Ace, very unimpressed with her lying ability, quickly jumped in.
“Tom Ace,” He introduced himself, shaking Camp’s hand. “Wonderful to meet you, Mr. Camp, and congratulations on all your success. You smell terrific.”
“Ah, well, thank you,” Camp responded awkwardly.
“I was just telling Melissa that one of the first lessons we learned at Standford Law was the modern proliferation of food poisoning against wealthy private homeowners. In fact, if one were so inclined, one could make quite a lucrative law firm with little else.”
Ace proceeded to laugh casually causing the others to laugh as well, though much more awkwardly.
“How is everyone feeling tonight?”
“Very well, thank you,” Camp responded nervously. “Please, come in.”
Ace boldly proceeded to lead Melissa away over to the hors d’oeuvre table. This left the Mane Six, Spike, and Camp standing there with awkward expressions over their faces.
“Oooookay… that was weird,” Rainbow remarked.
“No kidding!” Applejack agreed.
“I do apologize for our friend, Mr. Camp,” Rarity apologized. “He’s a little eccentric, but he means well.”
“We’ll just leave you now sir,” Twilight smiled. “Have yourself a good rest of your evening.”
They all proceeded to quickly follow Ace, along with a rather embarrassed (and pissed off) Melissa.
“Are you insane?” Melissa asked irritated. “There’s no way that Camp stole Snowflake.”
“Will you just keep him occupied, while I work my magic please?” Ace replied.
“And exactly what are you going to do?” Spike asked.
“I’ll act like I have stomach issues,” Ace explained, spreading pate’ on a cracker. “I’ll head off to the bathroom and sneak out to find Snowflake.”
Then, within a split second, Spike suddenly clutched his head as another splitting headache started to course through his mind. As if that wasn’t enough, the sinister voices started to torment him again.
Destroy them all
Roast them
Incinerate them
They’re nothing to you…
“Actually… I better go with you,” Spike groaned. “I’m not doing so well myself.”
“Are you alright?” Twilight asked concerned.
“Yeah, sure!” Spike assured her. “I just need some air… I’m fine.”
Though Twilight was unconvinced, not to mention very worried about her teenage assistant, she nodded in understanding and lead Melissa and the other girls to distract Camp.
Meanwhile, Ace just started stuffing food into his mouth, crunching the cracker in his mouth. A man in a tux beside Ace was spreading pate’ on his own cracker and stared at Ace.
“Smooshy, isn’t it?” Ace asked, with a mouthful.
Suffice to say the stuff man merely left with a ‘harumph’, all the other guests had their backs turned away from all the weird faces Ace made. As Spike made his way to the restroom, eventually Ace walked over and lightly tapped on Camp’s shoulder.
“Excuse me, Ron, I need to use the bathroom?” Ace told him, palming his stomach.. “I think it’s the pate’.”
“Um, it’s just over there,” Camp pointed out.
“Thanks,” Ace nodded. “Stuff probably looks better on the way out, huh?”
“Just please go Ace,” Rarity groaned.
Ace laughed, slapping Camp hard on the back and headed for the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, Spike splashed cold water on his face from the sink and shook his head trying to relieve himself of these headaches.
“Get it together Spike,” Spike told himself. “You’re just hearing things. These adventures are starting to get to me… maybe I do need a vacation from these vacations…”
As he kept splashing water onto his face, he looked up to gaze himself in the mirror and screamed. For right in the mirror, his eyes widening with fear, Spike saw an unforgettable figure standing directly behind him… Malakai Black…
SOON…
Spike quickly spun around in shock, only to see he was the only one in the bathroom. There wasn’t even a sign anyone ever entered at all. Breathing heavily, Spike clutched his head and shook it a few times before dunking his face in the cold water filled in the sink. The sound of the bathroom door opening caused Spike to jump and look up.
Ace was wasting no time entering the restroom. Soon as he locked the door, Ace turned and noticed the dragon boy’s face, all drenched with cold water. Suffice to say, Ace looked very confused, if not concerned.
“You alright little buddy?” Ace asked him.
“Uh—yeah!” Spike nodded, scrubbing his face. “Just a little groggy is all… nightmares.”
“Well luckily for you, I’ve got something that can help you with that,” Ace smirked.
“Aspirin?” Spike asked nervously.
“Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh… no. How would ‘you’ like to help me look for clues about Snowflake?”
“Me? You’re asking for my help?” Spike asked, surprised. “Eh… yeah! Why not? Maybe it’ll take my mind off… stuff.”
“Alllllllrighty then!” Ace grinned.
Ace wasted no time putting the plan into action. He turned on the water faucet and stepped onto the toilet seat, opening and climbing out a window. Spike climbed out behind him as Ace dropped to the ground. They followed a pathway, through a gazebo and into the doorway, all the time Ace quietly sung the musical score to ‘Mission Impossible’.
“What the hay is he doing?” Spike whispered to himself.
Finally, Ace threw open a door next to the pool area and the two quickly slipped inside. Ace browsed through a myriad of dramatically lit, salt-water tanks, still singing. They’re all filled with colorful exotic fish. Very impressive, but nothing large enough to house a dolphin. They continued towards a large door and Ace promptly swung it open.
Inside, they spotted a huge above-ground tank covered with curtains to discourage onlookers.
“Now that is certainly big enough to hold a dolphin,” Spike observed in amazement.
“Exactly!” Ace smirked.
“… Groovy!”
Ace climbed a ladder on the side of the tank, singing more intensely now with Spike close behind. The ladder lead to a narrow catwalk over the center of the water. Ace grabbed a feeder fish from a pail and walked carefully out there.
He looked into the dark pool but saw nothing. Now he stopped singing, quietly squatting down and dangled the fish over the water.
“Snowflake… here, Snowflake… Snooowflaaaake…” Ace called out.
“We got a little snack for you!” Spike added, whistling.
Just then, a massive Great White Shark jumped out of the water and snapped it’s giant teeth right in front of the boys. Ace screamed in panic before he reeled back, falling off the catwalk and into the water.
“ACE!!!” Spike yelled.
<>
Meanwhile, back inside the mansion, Melissa and the girls admired the many exotic fish in the aquariums. Camp came up alongside them and looked in as well.
“Wonderful, aren’t they?” He asked.
“Yes, they’re incredible,” Melissa responded nervously.
“I’ve never seen so many wonderful, exotic fish in all my life,” Fluttershy spoke amazed. “We have plenty back home, but none like these.”
“A magnificent collection, Mr. Camp,” Rarity agreed.
“No matter what is going on in my life, I can always watch them swim and be completely at peace,” Camp said poetically.
Applejack noticed Twilight staring toward the restroom with concern upon her face.
“Ya alright there Twi?” She asked.
“I’m just worried about Spike,” Twilight responded. “Something’s been going on with him since we got here. Whatever it is, it just seems to be getting worse.”
“Ah wouldn’t worry ‘bout Spike too much hon,” Applejack assured, placing a hand on her friend’s shoulder. “If there’s one thing ah know ‘bout Spike, ain’t nothing that dragon can’t handle.”
<>
“Oh, man! What am I gonna do?!”
Spike had finally gotten over the shock of the shark in the tank, now he was frantically looking around for Ace, who fell in the opposite side of the tank.
“Oh, man!” Spike gasped loudly. “ACE! Ace… where are you?”
The water was still for a moment. Then, Ace broke the surface and finally came back up with a gasp of air.
“AAAAAH, ho! It’s not Snowflake…” Ace sputtered frantically.
“ACE! There you are!” Spike sighed with relief. “Are you alright?”
“It’s not Snowflake…”
“Yeah, no kidding,” Spike said, lending out his hand. “Now quick, grab my hand and let’s get you out of there before something else goes…
But just as Ace grabbed Spike’s hand, he was suddenly pulled back in by the shark, who returned and indirectly pulled Spike into the water.
“WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNG!!!”
*SPLASH!!!*
There was now a water version of a fight cloud, as Ace and Spike were thrashed back and forth, all over and around through the water and the entire length of the pool by the shark’s rampage.
“IT’S NOT SNOWFLAAAAKE!!!” Ace yelled.
“MOMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!!!!” Spike yelled.
“IT’S NOT SNOWFLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
<>
Back inside Camp’s mansion, a line formed outside the bathroom. Camp, Melissa and the girls sat nearby as they waited for Spike and Ace’s return. The man in question was growing curious.
“Are you sure your date is all right?” Camp asked Melissa. “It’s been an awfully long time.”
“Who, Tom?” Melissa asked. “Oh, I’m sure he’s fine.”
“I’m sure Spike is just helping him make sure his problem is…” Fluttershy began.
But just then, Ace and Spike suddenly opened the bathroom door and stood there, completely drenched from head to toe, with Ace’s pants in shreds and Spike’s tuxedo jacket shredded as well (Even a bite mark on the left shoulder). Everyone stopped and froze as they stared at the duo in amazement. The girls looked on with wide eyes.
“… Ooooh, hayburgers…” Twilight gasped.
“DO NOT GO IN THERE!” Ace shouted loudly, fanning the air. “Whewww!!”
He opened his jacket, slapped his fancy Hawaiian shirt’s pocket and it squirted out some leftover water, which splashed upon the floor as he walked back toward the group. Spike shook and shivered from both the ‘now’ cold water all over him and the horror of what he’d been through in there, slowly following Ace out.
“Spike!” Twilight yelled concerned. “What in Equestria happened in the—”
But Spike slapped a hand to her mouth and shushed her down.
“Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh… not… another… word… for the rest of the night!”
And as he made his way out the front door with Ace, the girls looked at each other with confusion as they walked beside him trying to comfort him.
“So… many… teeth…” Spike stammered.
As everyone left the mansion, Camp stopped near the doorway.
“I’m very sorry, Mr. Ace,” He apologized sincerely, yet still confused. “I’ll have the plumbing checked immediately.”
“Be sure that you do,” Ace responded. “If I had been drinking out of that toilet, I might have been killed!”
Ace shook Camp’s hand and noticed his ring. He held on for a better look. It’s a very distinct, commemorative ring. Camp wanted his hand back, but Ace wouldn’t let go. Melissa finally dragged Ace away.
“Stop it!” She yelled. “Y’know, I don’t even want to know why your pants are missing! I don’t care what happened! You could have cost me my job.”
“… Yeah, we should get going,” Twilight spoke. “Thank you for welcoming us, Mr. Camp.”
As the group left, Camp looked on and just shook his head.
<>
A little while later, the group had arrived back at Melissa home. While Ace was thinking, to suggest that Melissa was pissed was an understatement.
“I was wrong about Camp,” Ace explained, on his own wavelength. “He’s breaking the law, but he’s not our guy.”
“It’s a sure thing!” Melissa argued, mocking Ace. “It’s definitely him! Just get me in there! Let me work my magic!”
Ace took the stone out of his pocket and studied it intensely.
“What is that Ace?” Twilight asked curiously.
“This is the key,” Ace responded. “Right here!”
“Hiring you was the biggest mistake I ever made!” Melissa groaned irritably.
“So small! So unnoticeable! Yet an invaluable piece… of our twisted little jigsaw puzzle!”
Melissa stared at Ace like he’s gone crazy.
“So, you found a pebble in Snowflake’s tank. Excuse me while I call CNN.”
“I found it in the filter,” Ace corrected. “And it’s not a pebble. It is a rare, triangular cut, orange amber.”
Ace handed Melissa the stone and quickly goes to one of her bookcases.
“Okay well that’s great and all Ace, but what does it have to do with this investigation?” Rainbow asked.
“Tonight I saw the exact same stone in Camp’s ring,” Ace answered.
Ace found a book on the Dolphin team and flipped through it.
“I thought you said he didn’t do it,” Pinkie said, scratching her puffy hair in confusion.
“No, Camp’s clean,” Ace assured. “His ring wasn’t missing a stone. But whoever was in that tank had a ring just like his.”
“Wait a second,” Melissa interrupted. “What ring?”
Ace handed her the book, now open, to a photo of…
“The 1982 Dolphin AFC Championship ring,” Ace said.
Melissa held the stone up to the picture and sure enough, it’s a perfect match.
“I find the ring with the missing stone, I find Snowflake.”
“And if we’re lucky, we could very well find Phantom Dragon as well,” Twilight realized.
“Well that certainly does make sense,” Rarity nodded. “But that still leaves one question: How exactly are we supposed to find out which ring is missing that stone?”
To which, Ace faced Rarity with a great, wide smirk.
“Simple.”
Looks like Spike's struggling with those voices in his head.
Also... WHAT THE HELL WAS A GREAT WHITE SHARK DOING IN A PLACE LIKE THAT?!
Hahaha god this is funny
Finding that ring with the missing stone is like finding a needle in a haystack. Also, why the hell does that Camp guy have a Great White Shark?!
Nice to see that even in events like this, they always dress in style.
Oh boy, it's getting worse.
, I can never stop laughing at that scene.
11332554
Agree with you there Tim
That's gonna be traumatizing.
Who'd thunk that Football stars carry special items during their time in the teams. People need to have stuff like that more often when it comes to playing sports in the big leagues.
Nice job.
Uh oh for Spike, and on the shark scene. I can't stop laughing at that part, especially Ace's facial expression when he got scared.
Believe it or not, my team is also at the party investigating Camp, Frank even said he has a way to avoid suspicion.
Frank Drebin: *walks up to orchestra* "Excuse me, would you mind playing some of this." *hands them sheet music and a wad of cash*
Orchestra: *takes out keytars.*
Lead player: 1, 2, 3, 4.
https://m.Frank Drebin and inspector Clouseau: *starts dancing to the safety dance.*
Then again, investigating Camp wasn't his idea, he and Ace were old friends apparently.
Awesome!
See that we somewhat breezed through the montage where Ace sneaks around in the most exaggerated unnecessary way possible set to the MI theme, but~ do admit that would be hard to write without the music to sync up to and mostly be Spike's reactions to it drawn out.
Poor Spike, hope his head stops messing with him soon.
Aw, come on, don't leave us hanging like thissss, it's not fairrrr!
Well that investigation took quite a turn, especially for Spike. Almost getting eaten by a shark is another piece of trauma that's gonna be added to fuel his rage on getting dragged into others dirty work
LOL the shark moment was the best part of the movie, poor Spike...his headaches are getting worse, hang in there little buddy. Love the dress designs XD
Our team's investigation leads them to an A-Class party hoping to determine if the host in question is somehow connected to Snowflake's disappearance. The struggle continues for Spike, as the voices not only grow as more intense as his headaches but now he's starting to see an old foe trying to win control over the kid. As if that's not traumatizing enough, when he gets a chance to help Ace determine if Mr. Camp truly has Snowflake locked in a tank for his own collection, they are nearly eaten by a Great White Shark (And this is why we 'never' see Great White Sharks in 'any' Aquarium in the world... it's just not possible).
Turns out there's more to this case than they realize. Camp may not have had anything to do with Snowflake, but he does have a role in how connected he is with the team overall. And with only one vital clue that could help separate the players from the actual kidnapper, they are in for a pretty lengthy search.
11332535
Oh yes, the struggle is utterly real indeed.
And yeah... I first saw that and I was like, 'What the fuck?!'.
11332554
Definitely one of the funniest and possibly memorable scenes in that whole movie.
11332559
Believe me, when the next part comes, that is 'not' going to be a joke.
As far as 'why' Camp would keep a Great White Shark... considering he's a collector of exotic fish, there seems to be no limit with this guy.
11332568
Leave it to Jim Carrey to give off some pretty hilarious facial expressions. It's how you present yourself that is key to how you react to a scenario, even if you come off as a bit of an 'over-actor' at times.
11332627
It's impossible to write those sequences in full detail. We like to think that most of that stuff was either improvised or choreographed to the point that words cannot describe it. So to save on time, it's no wonder why scriptwriters would often just write what comedy actors like Jim need to do and just let them go crazy with it.
11332849
11332730
That's going to take a bit of time. And the struggle of it all is how very little the girls are even aware that this is happening to him and only because Spike utterly refuses to let in on the fact something's wrong with him.
11332737
The fact we even got this chapter ready over the weekend is a miracle. There's only so much we can do between our shifts at work and our free time. I only just started the Fall Term for college and just barely got through my Academic Integrity classes for both classes (Luckily, I passed both) and they were both due by the end of the week. That wouldn't be so bad except I had to leave on a cruise that weekend so I needed to get through those quickly.
11332747
It's no wonder why guys like myself are so hesitant to be out in open-water even if the fun and beauty of snorkeling to see the sights of the sea are astonishing. But swimming around great white sharks are no joke. They may mistake you for a seal and some 'will' let you go at the cost of chunking off a piece of your flesh... but then there are those who will 'blatantly' kill you because that's what makes them a rogue shark. They are dangerous beasts, you must always be careful. They will attack if you come too close.
Discord's Theatre, Galaxy Branch
Byph: Wow, even their parties look different.
Sunset Shimmer: On my world, parties like this was the norm whenever there was a major event.
Han Solo: What kind of parties do they throw?
Leia Organa: Sometimes for meetings, sometimes for donations, sometimes for birthdays. And sometimes the fat and the rich would just waste their money instead of helping others.
Postwar: Ain't that the truth sister.
Ganodi: Being overboard with being the center of attention aren't we?
Postwar: Some sports stars are like that. They have a habit in boasting about how their games were as if they were the most important part of their lives.
Sunset Shimmer: I have a friend who's also like that. (In thought) Miss you Rainbow.
The younger guys were fawning over the girls in their attire.
Ahsoka Tano: Wow, I'm impressed. They do know how to dress the part.
Postwar: You can point at Rarity for that.
Sunset Shimmer: It's true. Rarity's true talent is fashion. Anything she sees that has potential, she can make it. You wouldn't believe how many she made for me and my friends.
Leia Organa: Really? If I had known that I would've asked her to help me make a few a long time ago.
Postwar: No kidding, the one you wore when you flew over Tatooine did not do you any justice. *Gets a glare from Leia*, well it's true.
Cal Kestis: You do have to admit, for a guy that acts strangely he does know how to dress well.
Petro: Same with that Melissa fellow.
Some rolled their eyes over this.
Mando: Is she always like this when it comes to structure designs?
Sunset & Postwar: Unfortunately (whilst rolling their eyes).
Lando: Lady's got a point. Everyone should give a chance to multitask.
Leia Organa: (Unamused) When they're not in the middle of a dangerous threat can they do things like that Lando.
Galen Marek: She really likes to party, doesn't she?
Postwar & Sunset: It's Pinkie Pie, what'd you expect?
Sunset Shimmer: Oh boy, they just said one of her least favorite things.
Zatt: Of what, that folks don't throw the same parties she does?
Postwar: Trust me, she takes that very seriously.
Postwar: Besides thinking about taking over the party and throwing one of your own?
Sunset Shimmer: You'd think she...*Pauses in realization*…, on second thought, never mind.
Postwar & Sunset: No comment.
Han Solo: Well it's a place filled with rich snobs, what did you expect. *Gets a glare from Leia*. Uh, no offense honey.
Gets a laugh from most of the guys, but an annoyed look from the girls.
Postwar: That would be like asking Rainbow Dash and Applejack to dress up in Fru-fru little skirts and go to a fancy party and marry rich folks. *Gets a laugh from Sunset*
C-3PO: Indeed. One must always try to find the time to have fun.
Sunset Shimmer: Those two know each other?
Postwar: When it comes to sports, everyone knows everyone.
Mando: He's not wrong there. It also applies to the Bounty Hunter guild and a few others.
Lando: Quite the smooth talker, ain't he?
Postwar: Too bad you couldn't smooth talk your way out of the Empire's Clutches, could you? *Gets a glare from Lando*
Sunset Shimmer: *Groans and face palms*, not a good time Rainbow.
Postwar: You think that's weird, you should see what Princess Twilight's hobby is. *Whispers to Sunset* She likes to paint lawn gnome ponies cause it's her hobby. *Sunset stifles her laughter and was about to blow*
Gungi: *Growling in Wookie language of how that plan never works*
Petro: You can say that again bud.
Sunset, Luke, Galen, Postwar and Ahsoka groaned, for they could feel the darkness within Spike.
Postwar: You feel that?
Ahsoka Tano: The darkness in him is growing stronger.
Luke Skywalker: If he does not tell them the truth of what transpires, I'm afraid whatever is in him will consume him.
Petro: You shouldn't hide things from her.
Luke Skywalker: Indeed. One must not keep secrets from others, for how do they expect to trust if secrets are being kept.
Sunset Shimmer: *Groaning at the sight* even I wouldn't eat like that.
Postwar: This coming from a girl who ate over thirty burgers in one sitting before that one summer vacation?
Sunset Shimmer: *Blushes in embarrassment*, I was hungry, okay?! Can I help it I worked at a Graveyard shift and didn't get a chance to eat?!
Huyang: I do not think that your problem will go away with what you are suggesting.
Byph: Whoa, who is that?
Postwar: Malakai Black.
Sunset Shimmer: You know him?
Postwar: Only from what my superiors told me. They told me to be careful around him, but they didn't say much else about him.
Cal Kestis: I believe Ace knows what's going on.
Galen Marek: You seriously think he does?
Postwar: When it comes to people like Ace, you never know.
Postwar: Yeah, and Ben Solo would become a Sith Lord.
Solo Family: What?
Postwar: NOTHING!! *Looks around, sweating in nervousness, even Sunset was nervous*
C-3PO: Something tells me this won't end very well.
R2-D2: *Beeps in agreement*.
Zatt: Other than making a fool of himself.
Katochi: I've got a feeling that it's not that simple.
Postwar: *Suddenly holding a fishing line*, Come on little fishy. Take the bait.
Postwar screams and quickly grabs onto Sunset, same with Galen in a panic.
Katochi: Aw, how cute.
Petro: No he's not.
Petro: Called it.
Zatt: Gee, what was your first clue?
Han Solo: Whoa, and I thought that beast from the trash compactor was terrifying.
Luke, Chewbacca and Leia nodded in agreement.
Petro: *Chuckles*, hey, check it out, Master Sunset is a dude magnet.
They all saw Sunset being hugged by both Postwar and Galen in fright, which left her flustered.
Sunset Shimmer: Could you please GET OFF OF ME?!!
The two of them quickly let her go.
Postwar: Sorry. Traumatizing experience with a shark. *Being patted on the back by the Wookiees in the room.*
Ganodi: So we noticed.
Postwar: *muttered* Was that a South Park reference to Butters?
Zatt: *chuckles*, now it's Spike's turn to be the babe magnet.
Lando: Something tells me that jewel looks familiar.
Katochi: That woman needs to relax. I know we tend to act out, but that woman tends to take it to the next level.
Ganodi: Yeah, no kidding.
Luke Skywalker: It appears he's starting to see the pattern.
Han Solo: Hey, don't judge the person you hired until the job is complete lady.
Postwar: At least I don't rip off people by selling my cargo to an Imperial starship. *Han was about to say something, but Postwar cut him off*, Even you get boarded and you don't have a choice, yeah, we know, you NEVER BLOODY SHUT UP ABOUT IT!! *Gets a laugh out of Chewbacca*
Sunset Shimmer: I didn't know he knew jewels, and Rarity is usually the jewel expert.
Postwar: Got that right.
Postwar: She really needs to read detective stories, otherwise it'll be the part where Rainbow and Rarity broke their friendship all over again.
Leia Organa: They did?
Postwar & Sunset: Long story.
Ganodi: They wear rings?
Postwar: Every Football star wears their rings, even after their years of retirement.
Sunset Shimmer: That's true. We learned about it from the Football Hall of Famers.
Mando: No it won't. One thing I know about a job, nothing is simple and things tend to get dangerous during it.
Grogu nodded in agreement.
11332852
True that.
11332851
Jesus, what's next? Is he going to collect Bengal Tigers now?
11332861
Well, congratulations. It was a really good chapter
Too bad Fluttershy wasn’t present with Ace and Spike to reason with the shark.
Good chapter, I was surprised that Rarity was not so interested at the amber gem since she has a talent and fascination with Jewels.
11332853
Yeah. Know that Jim's expertise is usually playing fast and loose with a game plan.
Apple Bloom: " So Maud if Pinkie's full name is Pinkamena Diane Windowshade Cabrera Chesterfield Pie, then what's yours?"
Maud: " It's Maudalina Dasy Windowshade Mackrelmint Chesterfield Pie. " She then smiled and asked if they wanted her know Marble and Limestone's name too.
She has just finished Marble's which was Marbleico Della Francesca Windowshade Cabera Chesterfield Pie and got to Limestone starting with Limestonephael Fett... When my phone rang.
Myself : " Hello... Ah yes but how did you get this number... Right your a Pie so don't question it... yes she's here." I the lowered my phone to Maud saying it was for her and put it on speaker as the voice on the other end spoke..
Limestone: " I don't mind you telling others Pinkie's Marble's or your name Maud but. Don't even think about saying MINE!"
Finally hanging up with force but despite that Maud said the rest , " Fettucine Windowshade Romana Chesterfield Pie. "
Congratulations to cheerful09 for the dresses and to Dramamaster829 for this hilarious chapter.
Ace goofing around with Mission Impossible's soundtrack and the encounter with the white shark is one of the funniest scenes in the movie; and with Spike, this part has been much better, especially when they came out with their suits destroyed and Spike forgot to never, never (NEVER) say that the situation could get worse, because it will. If they have an adventure in the movie "JAWS", Spike is going to remember this moment.
Now we know who makes Spike start hearing things. I hope he knows how to fix it in time, or at least tells Twilight what's wrong.
Fortunately, not everything has been a failure. Although Camp doesn't have Snowflake, this man has shown them what is the stone that they found in the dolphin's tank: a stone that belongs to special ring. That considerably reduces the number of suspects. Now when Ace said that checking the rings would be simple, what does he mean by that? Something tells me he's going to do a crazy thing...or two.

Well, it's not like I wrote the entire chapter. That's not what I do. I just edit the work that comes into my mailbox and then I work my magic into it. You may call it 'small stuff', but human beings cannot begin to fathom just how challenging it is to get all this stuff down to a T. To determine whether some grammar choices can remain, whether some paragraphs need to be reworded or extended, and how much time it takes in between. Editing is NOT as easy as some people think, and some of us don't get a ton of credit when it comes to some of the most famous forms of literature of all time (Even if they don't 'ask' for it).
But there's been some funny moments of which took place during this portion of the feature. The source of Spike's issues have indeed been revealed, and at this point it's definitely going to get worse. Yet something tells me when Ace says the way to find who doesn't have that one stone on their ring is simple... chances are it's a little more 'complicated' than he is letting on.
It was actually 1984.
Gallus: " That would be one way to detract yourself from the fact your missing your mascot. Tell a joke or two!"
The audience cheered and awed in the sight of the girls dresses.
Eric: "Honey may you never lose your talent."
Garble: " Ahh! Why does pony clothes have to be so colorful and bright?
It makes them look weird and unattractive."
Eric and Cheese together: " Watch it pal that's my wife you're talking about!"
Sweetie Belle: " Sis, mission first, decor later."
Everyone: " "It's True!"
Eric: " That's Mrs. Grumpy Pants to you."
The audience watched in anticipation as this Ron guy heard the names.
Garble: "Really Tom Ace? What are you some sort of secret agent or something?
Smolder: Well bro, he is a Detective in disguise which sorts of makes him an agent.
Gabby: "My thoughts exactly."

Me:(radio)"Drama, great news, Post and I are one step closer to our kidnappers ID and where's Phantom Dragon's at, but we need one or two more clues, hopefully the next 2 or 3 chapters will filled out the missing pages, so take your guys time on them, good luck, Shadow out".
A/n: this will be commentary take 2 due too deleting of first try due too technical difficulty.
Gilda: " A good idea!"
I sat at the edge of my seat as Ace and Spike left just as my magic message notebook cought a message from my allies Shadowshion and Post saying they were close to finding Phantom.
I hope they find him.
Sandbar: "Hey Sil, if you were to hide a Dolphin.
Where would you do it?"
Silverstream: " Well it would have to be in a special salt water tank with lots of space to move in."
Gabby: " We been asking that same question ourselves. "
Silverstream: "Bingo!"
The audience screamed a mighty aww as the shark jumped out of the water, I myself was scared too.
Silverstream: " A Great White! Those creatures can't survive captivity."
Gallus: " Why?"
Silverstream: " Their massive size would require ocean size tanks or they risk running out of oxygen and dying.
Even one bump on the nose will kill it."
Maud: " Except a shark. "
Everyone covered their eyes praying Spike made it out alright.
Sweetie Belle: " Oh Thank goodness. They made it!"
Princess Celestia: " Really! Your friends been through Tartarus knows what coming out all torn up and all you care about is your job.

Canterlot Mall Theater, Discord's Branch
Sweetie Belle: MARRY ME!
Applebloom: Calm yah self!
Sunny Flare: Isn't that just the same story from the football stadium?
Rarity: Suddenly feeling inspiratioooooooon!
Sugarcoat: Because you've been hired to find a missing dolphin and person and make sure they are still alive.....
Pinkie: ah yeah....
Pinkie also gasped along with her counterpart.
Pinkie: Say it ain't so!
Pinkie: ME!
Flash: Love Connection....good show,.....good show.
Sci-Twi: How would you know that?
Flash: You all don't know everything about me...
Indigo: Honestly, the teenagers are more mature then the adult detective-
Indigo then looked over at the others and saw Pinkie started to copy Ace.
Indigo:....never mind.
Pinkie: How are Gopher and Doc?....Permission to come aboard, sir?
Spike then barks at the man.
Sour Sweet: (Sour) Yeah,..... a lawyer of immature comedy.
Rainbow: What is he? Tom Cruise or James Bond?
The Boys and Pinkie chuckle.
Spike: Smell?.....what does he think he is,....Me?
Applejack: Ex-nay on the aughter-lay!
Fluttershy:.....well, at least their in.
Rainbow: Yeah,....that couldn't have been worse....
Microchips: That does sound like a lucrative plan.
Once again, Spike hear the weird sound and music associated with the voice which made him start to tweak out and The others notice him.
Sci-Twi: Spike!....are you okay?
Trixie: What has gotten into that dog?
Applejack: He's acting as loopy as a junebug after drinking 3 shots of coffee!
Rarity: Honestly,....Manners!
Trixie: That's just disgusting.
Snips and Snails were doing the same thing with their popcorn when the girls weren't looking.
<>
Everyone in the theater just recoiled in shock and gasped and yelp and the Pet cause a commotion as well!
Snails: Who or What the heck was THAT?!
Sci-Twi:.....I don't know......but it can't be good for the future.......
Sandalwood: Except for the fact we just saw some guy who looked like the stuff of WWE Nightmares.....
Pinkie: He's sneaking around!
Spike: But, was it necessary for him to climb over the fence to the pool and then jump back up and "scale" the wall even though the door they would just go through was right there?
Pinkie: Nope. .......... But it was fun none the less.
Applejack: Well, well,...well,.....look at what we got here.
Flash: That's a very big tank that's covered up.
Sci-Twi: Possibly to keep whatever is in there a secret......
Fluttershy: Don't Worry, Snowflake!.....Ace Ventura and Spike are here.
Everyone: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Boys: WHAT-
Girls: THE-
Spike: F-
And before they all could finish it, the rest of the pets and animals were in a riot of animal calls and sounds, having been startled by the shark and their owners screaming!
Flash: OH MY GOD!
Sci-Twi: ACE JUST FELL IN THE TANK WITH THE SHARK!!!!
<>
Sour Sweet: EXCEPT FOR A SHARK APPARENTLY!
Fluttershy: That was definitely not a dolphin!
Rainbow: Who the heck in their right mind and in all of Westeros would keep a shark as part of some collection?!
<>
Microchips: He's Still Alive!
Rainbow: AW, HELL!
Pinkie: Looks like Spike's in for Round 2!
She pulls out a wrestling ring bell and a tiny hammer from her hair and rings it.
<>
The equestria girls had matching expressions to their counterparts. Trixie, Wallflower, and the rest of the girls covered their mouths in shock. Flash, Micro Chips and Sandelwood dropped their jaws while Snips and Snails did a spit-take on the pets, much to their annoyance.
Pinkie: He's seen things, Twilight. ....... Things he's not proud of.........Scary Things.......
Spike: Can it, Pinkie!
Pinkie: Jeez,...If this Spike is already scarred for that shark attack, I can't image the PTSD he will get if our other selves and him get to meet up with JAWS.
Juniper:........oh god.....
Rarity: Hold on,.....that ring! The embordering looks familiar....
Sweetie Belle: Wait, you recognize the ring?
Wallflower:........oof,......that happened......
<>
Rarity: I think i understand.
Everyone: Whaaaaaaaa?
Rarity: I mean that Amber at the tank and the ones i saw on the ring are the same.
Rarity: Called It! Told you I have an eye for gems!
Scootaloo: But if the stones are the same, Then is Camp guilty or not?
Applebloom: Yeah, Is it him?
Sci-Twi: I don't think so. Sure, he may be doing some shady stuff but he's not the one behind the case they are working on.
Scootaloo: So, it must be someone connected with or part of the Dolphins.
Flash: And I guess Camp's off our number 1 spot on the suspects list.
Lemon Zest: Seems like it...
Pinkie then does a snap of her fingers, does a peace sign and closes it down and blows a raspberry.
Wallflower and Sci-Twi: What the heck was that?
Pinkie: That was the sign of a new plan coming in the next scene!

Sunny Starscout: "Wow! Fancy!"
Pipp Petals: (Singing) "Mi mi mi miiii~"
Sheriff Hitch: (Whistles) "Which reminds me. I need to iron out my best Sunday suit!"
Zipp Storm: (To Hitch) "You don't say."
Zipp Storm: "He looks important."
Sunny Starscout: "Well, like my dad always says. Rainbow Dash always dresses in style times six! Plus seven, when you remember Spike."
Izzy Moonbow: "Aw, like a married couple those two!"
Sunny Starscout: (To Izzy) "What makes you say that? They're not even married yet."
Izzy Moonbow: (To Sunny) "I said 'like,' not 'exactly.'"
Pipp Petals: (Singing) "Gorgeous~"
Zipp Storm: (Rolls her eyes) "Oh, Faust help me..."
Zipp Storm: (Stuck her tongue out at Pipp) "Yeah!"
Pipp Petals: (Fires back at Zipp with her own tongue) "Yeah!"
Izzy Moonbow: "Mine too!"
Izzy Moonbow: (Sharing Pinkie Pie's heart attack) "No party?!"
Everyone: (Looking at Izzy) "Uh oh."
Izzy Moonbow: (Lies down on a fainting couch) "Say it ain't so!"
AND Izzy Moonbow! But sadly...you probably won't ever meet in separate timelines.
Izzy Moonbow: "I wonder if the readers will ever get used to the fact that the Cinematic Adventures are being told by two narrators who have nothing better to do than to banter with one another..."
Pipp Petals: (Sarcasm) "Oh yes. That's totally not embarrassing..."
Zipp Storm: "Where did that guy even come from? Was he dropped on his head when he was little?"
Pipp Petals: "Took the words right out of my mouth!"
Izzy Moonbow: "I'm with Pinkie Pie on this one!"
Everypony watching all face hoof in exasperation with Ace. Even Sparky copied what everypony else was doing.
Misty: "Unbelievable..."
Opaline: (Via Misty's locket) "I gave up telemarketing for this?"
Everyone: "WHOA!"
Sunny Starscout: "The one and only Princess Twilight and friends!"
Zipp Storm: (Chuckles) "Lawyer?"
Izzy Moonbow: "Were you expecting maybe dog catcher or pigeon stalker?"
Izzy Moonbow also laughed out loud.
Izzy Moonbow: "Yeah! That was hilarious! What's the matter with you people?"
Zipp Storm: (Cringing) "Ooh...not a good a liar."
Izzy Moonbow: "Meh. I would've called him Ace Attorney."
Zipp Storm: (Sarcasm) "Yeah. Nice first impression."
Opaline: (Via Misty's pendant) "BOOOOOOOO!!! Get off the stage!"
Zipp Storm: "And what's the magic? The magic of getting kicked out in ten seconds flat?"
Sheriff Hitch: "The old sick pony routine? That actually works in other worlds?"
Izzy Moonbow: "Huh, what do you know? I guess it does still work if he's doing it already!"
Sunny Starscout: (To Izzy) "Uh...I don't think that's an act, Izzy. Looks kinda real."
Izzy Moonbow: (To Sunny) "Well, that's what acting is all about."
Sheriff Hitch: "Huh?" (Looks down to see Sparky was squirming in his hooves) "What's wrong, Sparky?"
Sheriff Hitch: "There are those voices again!"
Everypony in the room all exchanged nervous glances, before Sunny looked to Hitch.
Sunny Starscout: "Okay, Hitch... No more Wake-Me-Up Smoothies for you..."

Pipp Petals: (Disgusted) "Ew! Don't talk with your mouth full!"
Izzy Moonbow: (Eating popcorns and talked with her mouth full to Pipp) "Huh? Did you say something, Pipp?"
Pipp Petals: "...Uh, am I missing a punchline? How can an adventure be a vacation?"
ZIpp Storm: (To Pipp) "Well, let's think about the benefits." (Proceeds to list down on her wings) "Uh, a chance to get away from responsibilities from home. An opportunity to hang out with your friends, lots of excitements, some memories, and–"
Pipp Petals: (To Zipp) "Okay, okay. Thank you, Zipp."
Everypony: (Screaming) "AAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Izzy Moonbow: "AAAAHHH!!" (Jumps into Posey Bloom's hooves)
Izzy Moonbow turned to look at Posey Bloom, who simply rolled her eyes and dropped her to the floor with a loud thump.
Zipp Storm: (Sarcasm) "Yeah...nightmares."
Sheriff Hitch: "Oh, I can't watch this!" (Covers his eyes with his hoof)
Izzy Moonbow: (Sings along) "DA DA DAAAAAA!!!! Da da daaaaaa!!! Da da daaaaa!!! Da dun!"
Izzy Moonbow: "Ooh, they're all so beautiful!" (To Sunny) "Do you think we might see a rainbow fish in there?" (Sunny simply shrugs in response)
Zipp Storm: "I don't know." (Scratches her chin) "What else could it house, the size of an average dolphin?"
Sunny Starscout: (To Zipp) "Nothing, except maybe..." (Gasps in horror) "Oh no..."
Sunny Starscout: (To Spike and Ace) "Guys, wait! DON'T–"
The audience all screamed the living daylights out of them.
Everypony: (Screaming) "AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"
Izzy Moonbow: "SHAAAAAAAAARK!!!!"
Sprout Cloverleaf: "RUN AWAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!" (Smashes his face into a door, by accident) "Ow."
Alphabittle: "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is, little orange pony?"
Thunder Flaps: "You sure that shark didn't have him for dinner?"
Queen Haven: "Oh, how awful. To think that a detective as unorthodox and as kooky as he could be fish food."
Queen Haven: "Oh, nevermind. He's still alive."
Zipp Storm: "Gee. What's your first clue, Dick Tracy? That it's a fish and it ALMOST TRIED TO EAT YOU?"
Zipp Storm: "Welp, there they go again..."
Back in Discord's Theater, in the future, the audience watching all cringed and winced with every beatings that Spike and Ace experienced from the shark.
Sheriff Hitch: (Keeps his hooves over Sparky's eyes) "I've heard about shark attacks, but...sharks aren't usually that violent. Are they?"
Izzy Moonbow: (To Sunny) "Is this how Spike died?"
Sunny Starscout: (To Izzy) "I...I don't know..."
Sunny Starscout: "Oh, phew! They're alive...back when..."
Izzy Moonbow: "How much does that shark pay his dentist?"
Zipp Storm: "Who would want to drink out of a toilet?" (Cloudpuff looked with guilty glances)
Sprout Cloverleaf: (To Zipp) "Depends on who's getting the swirly..."
Zipp Storm: "Now what's up with him?"
Sunny Starscout: "I think he's mesmerized by that ring."
Izzy Moonbow: "Can't say I blame him." (Looks at the ring with mesmerized look) "I know I'm bewitched!"
Opaline: (To Misty, via locket) "I remember Twilight and her friends hanging around with this nut case. But I honestly didn't remember him to be this looney."
Pipp Petals: "Wow, he certainly knows his jewelry!"
Zipp Storm: "Well, at least he's smart in some department."
Izzy Moonbow: "The 1982 Dolphin AFC Championship RING!"
Sunny Starscout: "It's an exact match!"
Zipp Storm: (To Sunny) "Yeah! Which means they're getting somewhere!"
Izzy Moonbow: "But what does it mean?"
Izzy Moonbow: "Yeah! How?"
Zipp Storm: "Then why does it sound like a famous last word?"
