Minuette and I have got to be the absolute best friends in all of Equestria. Or at least we thought so... before running into Lyra and Bon Bon.

Berry Punch turned her life around and she knows two things:
1. Her life has never been better. She has great friends, and a much improved relationship with Ruby Pinch, her daughter.
2. She grew up a petty inner city criminal. Barely anypony knows, of course. Ponyville's problems tend to get solved by friendship, weaponized or otherwise, and if anypony did need to be roughed up, Berry was probably hung over at the time.

Berry is at peace. So what if she's a little rough around the edges? She's no crazier than her friends. However, her misspent youth and early adulthood seem to catch up to her when her daughter's sire sends a letter indicating that he wants to be part of his daughter's life. That stallion has never shown an interest, and Berry can't believe things are as simple as that. With help from her friends, she intents to get to the bottom of things, and tie up loose ends, if necessary.

It's only right to confide in Bon Bon and Lyra, after all. Bon Bon let Berry in on her past as a monster hunter in a surprising gesture of trust, and the other earth pony at least wouldn't judge Berry for her past.

Dinky enjoys staying with Sparkler, but is still anxious to go back home to her mom. The bright young filly and the young-at-heart mare use their time together to teach each other about growing up and what it means to be family.
A sequel to Ditzy Doo's Dismally Derpy Day.

A long lost artifact called the Blue Diamond had found itself in the hooves of Hooven Stone, the boss of the North Manehatten Mafia. One particular pony wants the diamond, and she wants it bad. For what reason? Nopony knows. She has a plan, and she will not hesitate to involve the law if she needs to.

Meanwhile, Minuette, a young ambitious mare from the police force, captain of the CEIB reserve team and negotiator, have inadvertently crossed paths with this mysterious pony, or did she? Meanwhile, her air-headed chief continues to question her motives. Minuette will be pulled into her plans. Driven by curiosity and determination, she will have to choose between aiding a possible criminal or abiding by her morals, and take her in.

The Blue Diamond holds immense value and the Mafia will not allow it to fall into the hooves of another pony, let alone the law.

The game of three days and the battle between three sides have begun, and only one will emerge victorious. Will Minuette be too blinded by admiration and virtues to see the bigger picture? Or will she really understand the true motive behind all this?

Only time will tell.

This story takes place in the metropolitan city of Manehatten where modern technology exist.
Focused solely on background ponies and OCs.
