//------------------------------// // First Sight (Prologue) // Story: Meet The Hooves! // by Pen and Quill //------------------------------// Ditzy flew quickly to the last stop on her list. The package was only slightly too big for her to carry without hurting herself, but still too small for two ponies to carry. Sighing, Ditzy made her way to the new block of apartments next to the hospital. Making her way to the furthest away block she finally landed. "221B Baker Street." She read off the label on the top of the box. Placing it down carefully she knocked on the door. After a few seconds she heard somepony coming down the stairs. Suddenly the door flew open and a gun was placed against her forehead. Screaming, Ditzy jumped back. The gun was pulled away allowing her to see the face of the stallion who tried to kill her. "Do you... threaten all... your new mailmares?" She said in between deep breathes. She was met with a roll of the eyes as the stallion helped her to her feet. "Sorry, and no, no I don't. And my mailmare is?" He asked as he levitated up his package of the floor, but Ditzy got the feeling he didn't really care. Frowning she answered carefully. "Ditzy, Ditzy Doo. And you are?" He looked into her eyes and gave a slightly grin. "Sherlock Hooves, the one and only consulting detective." Ditzy stopped frowning as slowly her chest filled with a strange warmth. "Until next time Miss Doo." He said eagerly heading inside without looking at her again and slamming the door. Sighing as the cold filled her once more, Ditzy flew back to the post office to drop of her stuff.
