The Canterlot maximum security prison was the largest prison in Equestria. It could hold thousands of convicts and had the best security system ever designed. No prisoner had escaped CMSP ever and those who had dared only managed to get themselves killed by the officers or by the electric fence outside the barracks. Inside the prison there was a small room used to interrogate prisoners, in wich Pinkamena Diane Pie sat at.

Her mouth was covered in a mussel, and her forearms cuffed toguether. There where guards every ten feet. Two inside the room, five outside and ten in the halls.  She tapped her back hoove impatiently against the floor, wich caused a hiss and a snap from one of the guards. She turned her head at him and halted. The room was quiet enough to hear as the guard gulped. She closed her eyes and listened to her soroundings. A trick that had come in handy when finding elusive victims. 

The door slammed open, it was a younger guard that looked as if he had been running a thriatlon. 
"He's here" he said breathing heavily. 
Pinkamena smiled under the mussel. The two guards straightened and looked at each other. 

"You think he's gonna make her talk?" One asked quietly. 

"I don't know, " the other answered. Pinkamena chuckled. "Quiet!" The guard slammed a hoove against the table. 

"He better..." His partner said. Pinkamena quieted her laughter slowly. But she kept smiling.
.                                                                                                                                                                  

Light never thought Canterlot could be so large. To the edge of the city she saw Celestia's castle, what Saphire would have said if she was there...

She missed her very much, Sapphire was her sister. As annoying and proper as she may be, Light still loved her and knew her as the pony with whoom she played dolls and would have races with. She tought about writing her a letter. Yes, a letter will make her feel better.

As Palette went to analyze the paintings, Light and Network headed to the main office. Light was nervous, and she was even more concerned about having to be without her best friend. Atleast she had Network, the quiet, genious, handsome stallion...

*Snap* 'did I just think of my best friend's brother as handsome?' She thought to herself giving Network confused glances. The pony cleared his throat, obviously uncomfortable. 'Snap out of it. You have better things to think about than Network.'

"So, what do you think about the art?" Network asked out of the blue. 

"Huh?" She said. 'Idiot,idiot, idiot!'

"Well, that this killer is linking the paintings to the victims. It's gotta mean something." Light shrugged.

"Maybe that killer is following Pinkamena's Killing style because he or she idolizes her. You know like some singers copy their idol's lyrics in their songs? " Network nodded, they where reaching the main door. 

"And if this pony is worshiping her, maybe they where close." 

"Not necesarely, you just gotta be as insane as she was and idolize her. " she swished her mane in a flirting method.

"That makes sense. Listen, I have to go to the second floor to localization. I'll meet you later?" He faced her, his eyes where diferent from Palette's. his where turquoise. 

"Okay, bye. " she managed to look at his cutie mark, an atom, and sigh. 'Great, Palette has a swirl of color, Network an atom, HeartFelt an iron heart with a rose, and me? A blank flank, because the universe HATES ME,' she screamed the last two words in her head. 

Shining Armor was standing right outside the door to the interogation room. He had his armor on, next to him Light was surprised to see the figure of a well known alicorn.

"Ah, Light. This is Princess Celestia, you probably know her. She wished to be present for the discussion." Shining Armor said as if he was talking about the events of yesterday. 

The alicorn smiled, "pleased to meet the famous Light. Your actions today will help save lives, I admire your courage." 
Light just stared wide eyed, almost unaware her jaw was wide open in shock.
"Uh,its a plesure to meet you, your majesty" she said simply.

Shining Armor stepped away from the door and frowned. "Are you positive you want to continue?" 
She nodded, decided to go on with it. 
Shining Armor opened the door, light engulfed the darkened room blinding everyone inside for a moment. His voice spoke the words Light knew would mark her life. 

"There is someone here to see you." 
Light took a deep breath and stepped inside the room, leaving the safe hallway where the captain of the royal guard and the princess where. And entering the darkened, grim room where she would meet her mother.
