Dinner was, quite to say, exotic. There was foods of all types. Some made of plants not meant for human consumption. Others were edible but had a funny taste. There was even a dish called 'Poison Joke La Rouge', it did something strange to you the moment you ate it. Hanna's voice became low and gruff like a man's, whilst Arnold couldn't stop speaking French, a language he has never learned. Never the less, every result was hilarious. I myself couldn't help but laugh when I suddenly had tree roots for hair. We ate and shared the most recent of news from our worlds. Fluttershy was the only one of all of us to eat only vegetarian meals. As the chat began to become more and more historical, both sides couldn't help but marvel at the most common of similarities. When we told the Princesses of Napoleons last battle twenty years ago, they told us that a wicked Emperor by the name of Tirek, had too lost his final battle twenty years ago.
"I am to curious to how you all met." Celestia stated.
"Oh, YAY! FLASHBACK TIME!" Pinkie Pie shouted. Confusing us all.
"Don't mind her, she's just bein' Pinkie." Applejack assured us.
FLASHBACK. 5 Years ago.
I was walking down Albany Road, trying to get my mind off the case I just couldn't crack. I may be a detective but even I had a hard time analysing bodies for signs of death. The man I was trying to analyse, Rupert Daniel, was a man who got into lots of drunken bar fights, and worked in the most dangerous boathouse. Trying to find a sign that he was murdered by his boss, for knowing too much information, was proving to be a rather hard situation.
I didn't see where I was going and I bumped into a man. Causing him to drop his bags. "Frightfully sorry" I said, trying help him pick up his belongings.
The man was rather curious to what bothered me. " What's bothering you?"
"Nothing. It's just this case I'm working on. I'm having an incredibly difficult time trying to analyse a body."
The man looked at me, smiled and said "Maybe I could be of assistance."
I smiled and shook his hand. "Detective James Gillon."
"Doctor Donovan Bill."
6 months later.
Donovan and I was idly minding our business, sipping tea after another long and hard case. We could move quicker but our most recent cases became more and more religious. And trying to find a viable suspect is proving to become a more tedious task. We finished our tea, and went out for a walk. Noticing smoke on the horizon. After a few minutes of discussing the latest news and gossip, a man ran towards us.
"Please Sirs you've got to help me!" His voice was pleading to us. "There's a madman chasing me."
"Why is he chasing you?" I queried.
"Because he believes I am a spy for the fenians! My Grandmother may come from Ireland but I swore loyalty to the crown!" He was pratically sobbing.
"All right, hide in here." Donovan pointed to an empty barrel. The man climbed in.
Then another man walked up to us. "Hey! 'As any of you fellah's seen a man in a blue jacket come running through here?"
We pointed towards and empty street that lead away from our home.
"Cheers." He said running off that way.
"All right the coast is clear." The man climbed out of the barrel.
"Is it all right if I stay at your place? That madman burned down my home!" That explained the smoke.
"Yes Mr..." I trailed off.
"Samuel Smith, Religious Researcher."
A week later.
As we were sitting down having dinner, a knock came at the door.
"Who could be knocking at this hour?" Samuel asked as I got up to answer the door. When I opened it a large man stood on the other side.
"Guten Nacht!" He said, obviously the Prussian that applied for the job.
"Hello. Come in." I said. As he entered I noticed a smaller girl with him. "What's your name."
"H-Hanna Townhouse." She seemed scared of me."Are you going to harm me like that other man?"
"Other man?" I was intrigued to find this girl was attacked by another man. The Prussian then explained.
"Drunk man was beating her. He's now in Krankenhaus." That mix of Prussian and English was going to take to getting some used to.
"That's... honourable that you defended this girl. But what is your name?"
He just looked at me and said "Arnold Moltchwog."
Present day.
"My that was quite the tale." Rarity mused.
"Indeed. Ahem. May we have some more wine?" A Grey unicorn with a bit of red on the end of his horn came and poured wine into the cup in Luna's hand. "Thank you Sombra." I waited until he was out of the room.
"So.." I began. "How long until you tell him?"
Luna looked confused. "Tell him what."
"That you're in love with him." Luna looked at me in shock. "I know because you began to get nervous around him, you looked at him with love in your eyes as he walked away and you shaped your food into a heart with 'Luna and Sombra' in the middle."
Luna showed a mixture of shock (from my statement) and awe (from my analyses) before asking "Was I really that obvious?"
Pinkie Pie chuckled. "Yes. Yes you were."
