//------------------------------// // Chapter I // Story: Detective Rarity Volume 1 // by EquestriaGirls //------------------------------// Chapter 1 Detective Rarity was running a hand through her purple hair. Her purple eyes glared a hole through the person she was interrogating. Sadly to say, the person wasn't going to break anytime soon. "You're wasting my time, you scoundrel. Answer my questions, or I'll pop a bullet in your head myself." Rarity says coldly. This merely made the suspect smirk. "Do it. You'll never get any answers from me." The woman says, revealing her voice to Rarity. Rarity gave a start at finally hearing her voice. "What the hell is this? I thought that you were mute. Maybe I can hear you scream." Rarity says, pulling out her gun. She aimed it at the woman's knee and the suspect gave a shocked squeal. "W-What are you doing? You just can't shoot me?!" The woman says, pressing a button on her phone, unknowingly to Rarity. "The station don't care what I do. They let me, "Ruthless Beast" out. That's never a good thing. That means they really need this case solved." Rarity tells the woman. She prepared to shoot the woman and a bomb suddenly went off, not shocking Rarity. The woman gave a shocked gasped at Rarity's uncaring nature. Rarity's arm had burns on it, but she shot the woman anyway. With a crazed laughed, Rarity then realized that she had solved the case without letting the dead suspect know. "Stupid woman, I knew what were your intentions were." Rarity says, walking out of thr exploding building. When she had walked out of the building, a police truck had pulled up. "Have you done it?" The man asked. Rarity smirked and the man nodded. Rarity got in the truck and the man drove her to the office. "The suspect had a bomb?" The man asked Rarity. "Yeah. She activated the bomb before I shot her. The woman thought that I would've been screaming in pain, but I could handle it." Rarity tells the man. The man nodded while he wrote down what she had said. "I won't be arrested, will I?" Rarity asked. The man coughed a bit. "No, you're the best detective we have. We need you on every case and besides, the court is just going to let you go after a month after you've been arrested." The man tells Rarity. Rarity smiled at this. "The court does pay for your property damage." The man added. Rarity smirked. "How much was it this time, Mr. Mayor?" Rarity asked. "3,000 bits it was, Miss Rarity." The Mayor of the city tells Rarity. Rarity whistled at the increase in the amount of money. When the truck stopped at their destination, Rarity thought about ditching the place, but when she saw her boss's car, she thought of it no longer. "I can't believe I actually stayed here." Rarity says, shuddering. Rarity was in a room with her boss, Sunset Shimmer. Her personal maid was Starlight Glimmer, who was now serving tea to the both of them. Sunset gently pats Starlight's shoulder to alert her of almost overflowing tea. Starlight yelped as she looked at Sunset with lowered eyes. Sunset smiled at Starlight. "You're not the only one. But, the tense air was making her nervous." Sunset explained to Rarity and the woman understood. "Sorry dearie, but can we talk in private?" Rarity asked Sunset Shimmer. "Yeah, I have something to discuss to with you, anyway. Starlight, please take a break outside and close the door." Sunset tells Starlight. Starlight nodded and she mutely followed Sunset Shimmer's orders. "What did you want to discuss?" Rarity asked with curiosity in her voice. Sunset Shimmer smiled at Rarity's question. "I know you prefer to work alone, but I assigned a freshly graduated student to be your assistant like how Starlight Glimmer is my maid." Sunset Shimmer tells Rarity, waiting on the explosion to happen. And then, BOOM! "What the hell? Sunset Shimmer! You know that I can't do that!" Rarity shouted. This explosion lasted for a hour. After the hour passed, Rarity was calmed somewhat. "I'm calm." Rarity says in a suppressed voice. Sunset shook her head. "You're still angry despite your words." Sunset says, making Rarity almost explode again. She then sighed, trying to call her nerves. "That was Explosion #1,000. Geez, you need chill pills, literally." Sunset tells Rarity. Rarity's eye twitched at the insult and she thought about drinking apple cider mixed with alcohol when she gets home. "You know I enjoy working all by myself, right?" Rarity asked. Sunset Shimmer looked up with a serious look on her face. "Yes, but you need human morals and being accompanied by a newbie will help that." Sunset says with a thoughtful look on her face. Rarity gasped with extreme anger. "Being with a inexperience child will NOT make me nicer." Rarity challenged Sunset. Sunset smiled. "You say that, but I think you might change your mind." Sunset Shimmer tells Rarity. Rarity rolled her eyes. Keep telling yourself that. Rarity had thought.
