Chapter 2:
Don't eat the cupcakes
As I struggled to catch up to a nearly galloping Sherlock I noticed I was getting hungry. Of course skipping lunch wasn't the best idea, now was it? I thought to myself as we continued along the street away from our humble flat, 221p. Sherlock said to start off at the place of interest, which was, unfortunately, Sugarcube Corner. I was about to object to the said plan, when I turned, and saw that Sherlock wasn't walking next to me. The initial reaction was panic, though in the war, we were taught to remove those type of thoughts, but now, knowing that the cause of the disappearing ponies was only a few blocks away. Then to include a note that fell from sky scaring the living daylights out of me. I soon discovered it was a note from Sherlock; it read, John, it's too risky to go in there as me. Just know I'll be with you at all times, and Mareiorty only knows me and not you yet. That "yet" part have me the shivers, the note continued, just keep it simple and don't give anything away yet. Do not become friends with her, it will come with a great cost, she will then have your number...
Best of luck!
Sherlock
P.S Destroy this letter.
P.P.S DO NOT EAT ANY CUPCAKES.
P.P.P.S actually order a cupcake but don't eat it bring it back so we can study it at the lab.
I was now very frightened now but I did as I was told and walked into the shop. An older mare and stallion were running the counter and the mare smiled at me when I walked in. I looked around the shop and it was very... Interesting to say the least. The overwhelming smell of sugar and dough filled my snout. I observe an array of pastries as I walked, including a very beautiful bright blue cupcake with rainbow icing. At the time I didn't give it much thought. I wish I would have.
The nice couple at the counter introduced themselves as Mr. And Mrs. Cake. I greeted them and asked if Pinkie Pie was there they nodded and Mrs Cake called Pinkie down.
"Pinkiiiiieeeee! There's someone here that wants to meet you!"
A high pitched voice answered,"Coming Mrs. Cake!"
A pink pony that was the same from the picture came hopping down the stairs, I cringed at the thought of it. 'I'll be with you at all times.' the words appeared in my head, but as I looked around, Sherlock was nowhere to be found. The only ponies there were some other ponies at tables and a pony with a harpsichord cutie mark talking to a pony with a long snout with a beard and a huge burly coat and matching hat. He looked familiar, but I couldn't quite put my hoof on it.
Pinkie brought me out of my thoughts."Hi!" she exclaimed with a huge grin, "my name is Pinkie Pie!"
She proceeded to give me the once over."Are you new in town?" she asked," Because I've never seen you before."
"I'm new in town," I lied," and someone told me this was the best place to get really good cupcakes!"
She beamed,"well whoever told you that was absolutely right!"
"Here, try one!" she picked up the blue colored rainbow frosted cupcake and handed it to me. It looked very delicious but the note said 'do not eat the cupcakes!' I thought, eh, one cupcake can't hurt. So i started to lift the cupcake up to my mouth and right as I was about to eat it, I was knocked over, and the cupcake was knocked to the ground with me. I looked to see who rudely bumped into me, and it was the pony in the burly jacket.oh "I'm sorry I din see ya thar!"he said with a heavy accent that sounded so familiar." Here let meh pay for tha'" he continued. As Pinkie was over cleaning the mess, the burly pony helped me up and said to me in a whispered to me in a harsh tone,
"What did I tell you about the cupcakes John?!" I yelped and flew backwards. Pinkie looked up from cleaning.
"Is everything alright John?" she asked.
"Yes," I replied somewhat dazed, " I just got a Charlie horse, that's all."
"Okie dokie Loki!" she replied with a smile and went to got toss out the cupcake.
"Wait!" said the burly pon- I mean Sherlock, " I'll take it."
"Really?" asked Pinkie," okay, but it's going to taste like floor."
"I'm not going to EAT it." Sherlock said quietly under his breath and took the cupcakes.
I decided that I have had enough of this so I waited until the disguised Sherlock left and said good bye to Pinkie.
"Bye John!" she said," I have to go make more cupcakes!"
She smiled and left to go make some more cupcakes, and later found out, to add my number.
I just got outside and got grabbed and pulled into an ally.
"You sir," said the now regular sherlock, "are not a good listener." He finished with a stern look on his face.
"Well, I didn't want to seem rude!" I replied.
You were not there to make "friends", you were there on a simple mission: Find Pinkamina, get a cupcake, don't eat it. Is it really that difficult?"
I looked away, feeling like I betrayed Sherlock.
"I'm sorry." I said
Sherlock calmed down a bit and said," Well the good thing is," he levitated the fallen cupcake out of his satchel," we have this!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the lab Sherlock was busy studing that cupcake, meanwhile, I was out on a job for Sherlock getting Rainbow Dash hair samples.
After many hours I found some hair samples over at Twilights house in a few Daring Do books.
I went back to the house and gave Sherlock the hairs.
"Ah, thank you John!" Sherlock said as he put the hair in the machine.
The machine then dinged and Sherlock smiled.
"John, call the girls and the dragon, I have found Ms. Rainbow Dash!"
"Where?!" I said excitedly.
He held up the cupcake and said, "Here."
