Trixie entered the office of the police chief of Manehatten. She quickly looked around the office as she sat down in front him.
“Trixie, right…” the chief said, mumbling to himself.
“Trixie wants to know why you have called Trixie here.”
“I called you here because I want your opinion on the situation of the Rainbooms.”
“That depends. What part of Trixie’s opinion do you want?”
“It’s just that, the city is starting to see them as vigilantes. Thanks to them, we have successfully captured a huge part of the Reef Mafia. The bank robbery and the Diamond last night that was stolen has made the police find new evidence to capture parts of the mafia.”
“Trixie agrees, but they are not vigilantes.”
“I know they aren’t, however, that makes things worse. If they keep stealing from the Reef mafia, the Reef mafia will think the other two mafias in this city hired the Rainbooms. The Reef may try to start a mafia war with the Fire mafia and the Leaf Mafia!”
“Trixie understands. However, hasn’t the Reef mafia lost most of their power now? If a war happens, the Reef Mafia will be completely wiped out.”
“That doesn’t matter! I am the chief of the police! I can’t have a mafia war happen in this city! The police ponies’ job is to make sure there is peace in this city!”
“You want to catch the Rainbooms immediately?”
“Yes! I won’t have a war on my hands!”
Trixie sat there, thinking. Then she spoke up, “Not possible, Trixie examined the last crime scene they were at. The only ponies that saw the Rainbooms was griffon who is now in the hospital with her beak broken. The only other is a guard that got seduced by some orange unicorn which Trixie believes is the white unicorn that tricked Muggy Snide, except this time Trixie believes the unicorn used magic to change her appearance. We have no idea what the Rainbooms even looks like, not even one of them is known.”
“….”
The police chief sat there, unable to speak.
“Trixie believes the best option is to wait.”
“Wait?”
“Yes, Trixie believes that that if a war happens we must prepare for the worst but, there is a good chance that war will not happen.”
“Why?”
“The Rainbooms have nothing left to steal from the Reef Mafia. The Rainbooms steal two types of things, money from banks and expensive jewels. The Reef mafia doesn’t have any of things now.”
“You may be right but still…” said the chief as he slumped in his chair.
“Trixie suggests to not worry about it, Trixie will catch the Rainbooms.” she said as she walked out of the office. Trixie then walked out of the police department.
“Now, what will Trixie do next…”
Meanwhile….back at the Rainboom hideout…
Twilight sat in her chair asleep. She had cried all night over the failure and beating Rainbow Dash had taken. No matter how much the others tried to comfort her they all felt pretty bad as well. Fluttershy worked for hours on Rainbow Dash and finally made sure she was stable.
“So, uh, what do we do now?” asked Applejack.
“We wait darling. It’s all we can do right now.” replied Rarity.
“Yawn....” said Twilight as she woke up.
“Morning Twi....”
“Hey girls...is Rainbow any better?”
“We don't know Twi...”
Twilight just slumped in her chair and then she spoke up, “Let's disband the team...”
“What did you say?” said Applejack.
“I've failed all of you...” said Twilight in a slump, tears coming down her eyes.
“Hold on there Twi!” yelled Applejack. “Stop right there!”
“Please don't yell...”
“Listen here, one thing goes wrong and we give up?! No way pardner!”
“But-”
“No, Twilight, do you remember why I joined your team?”
“......Yes.”
“Ah joined cuz you saved me and I needed help. I was being hunted by the police for hitting a customer and you found me and got me what I needed.”
“She's right darling. You've helped us all. I was a lost unicorn pony. I didn't know what to do with my life at the time. I lost all motivation and yet you came to me, asking for help.”
“Yeah..but..”
“I had lost all inspiration and yet you came up to me and remember what you said? You told me, 'Well, will you help me?' It had been a long time since a pony asked for me.”
“....” Twilight couldn't even speak.
“Don't forget what you told me when we met?” said Pinkie enthusiastically, “You came to me, a miserable pony who just wanted to make everypony happy and yet no one cared. Then you came up to me and said, 'If you can't accomplish what you're trying to do right now, just try something else. Sometimes a pony just needs to see a different perspective.' That's what you told me and then just like Rarity, you asked me to help you right after that.”
“...”
“We're all here together Twi...We won't leave.”
Fluttershy then walked into the room, “Um...Rainbow would like to see you all now, she's awake.”
The four immediately got up and walked into the room where Rainbow laid, still in pain. She then looked at every one in the room.
“Rainbow...” said Twilight before Rainbow interrupted her.
“Twilight!” yapped Rainbow. “Don't say anything!”
“But-”
“Zip it! I don't want to here it...ow...The job just didn't go well alright.”
“Rainbow..”
“Hold it, I'm not done...I heard you all in there and I'm with them Twilight. I had just lost my life long dream right before I met you. A whiny arrogant parent had taken everything in one fell swoop. Then I met you. All you asked is if I wanted to have some thrills. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. I've never regretted a single moment after that..”
“....Thank you Rainbow.”
“See Twilight? It will all be okay.” said Fluttershy.
“Thank you girls.”
“See, much better...ow..”
“However, why don't we split up the team for now anyways.” suggested Twilight.
“What did we just talk about?”
“Girls, I'm serious. Let's visit our families for a little while. We'll meet up again in, let's say three months.”
“Well, ah reckon it would be nice to see mah family again.”
“Besides, I've made sure that the authorities have never seen our faces so we should be fine.” said Twilight.
“I guess it would be nice to open the old boutique again, and tell my parents my fashion journey is over for a little while...”
“I haven't seen Mom and Dad in a while...okay, I'm in.” said Pinkie with a smile.
“I'll take Rainbow with me to Ponyville to make sure she heals up.” said Fluttershy.
“Yeah, I don't even know where my family is anymore.” said Rainbow.
“I can't go visit my family but...I think I will take a research trip. We all have plenty of money so we can do whatever we need.” suggested Twilight.
“Ah right everypony. Let's meet up in three months!” yelled Applejack.
“Okay!”
