The Day I was Accused as an Impostor

by Ika Musume


The FINAL chapter

Technology in Equestria is on the rise. Maybe someday, ponies will see space. Possibly the final frontier. Throughout pony's travels, they will thrive through teamwork. Friendship, even. They will have to call meetings, report problems to each other, and maybe sometimes they'll even have to catch an impostor. Are they up for the challenge?

Musician friends Vinyl and Octavia excitedly boarded their newly crafted vehicle, The Wub Rocket. Vinyl had crafted the cutting edge sonar technology to take them beyond the clouds and into the stars. Joining them were friends Derpy Hooves, Lyra Heartstrings, and Bon-Bon. None of them had ever been in space before as nopony had, so their heads were filled with wonder. One friend seemed to have their mind elsewhere. Bon-Bon had barely spoken, and was looking around shiftily during the entire boarding. She was acting suspicious to say the least.

"3... 2... 1... BLASTOFF!!!" The Rocket took off into the sky. The friends all sat buckled into their chairs and laughed, though Bon-Bon seemed more intent than amused. The ship had finally stabilized and their voyage was orbiting around the planet. Ponies gazed in awe as they were able to see the stars up close for the first time. While everyone was distracted by the wonders of the outer realms, Derpy suddenly rushed off towards a big red button.

"Emergency meeting!" Derpy had never sounded so serious. "I found Lyra knocked unconscious when I went to go check on my secret muffin stash! She could have been dead!" The friends all looked around in total shock.

"One of us has to be the culprit," said Octavia, "but we are all such good friends! None of us would ever even consider such violence as an option!" Vinyl nodded in agreement.

"That settles it," Derpy announced. "There has to be an impostor among us!" The friends began staring each other down, Lyra resting in a chair with an ice pack. She wasn't well enough to speak yet.

"Say," Octavia put out. "Bon-Bon has been acting quite suspicous, if you don't mind me saying."

"No way!" Bon-Bon was enraged. "Everypony knows I love Lyra too much to ever hurt her!"

"It's the perfect cover!" Octavia was at her limit. "Derpy, what do you say we eject this impostor?"

"On it!" Derpy saluted with a dazed look on her face. She selected a Bon-Bon icon on a monitor, and the ceiling opened above the pastel pony as she careened out into space. If this wasn't the real Bon-Bon, the friends would have to turn back immediately and find her.


("Bon-Bon" was the Impostor.)
