"Hey Joseph"greeted Pinkie Pie, walking into his donut shop.
"Hi Pinkamena" he nodded back "I am guessing your here about the mole?" Pinkamena nodded. "Well, there were rumors of a bomb being set off in Manehatten, and, because I wasn't being told to go there, I had to buy a ticket back. And it took forty five whole minutes. I even took a picture,just to remember what happened,see?" The pictures dated around the time the newspaper had come out. Pinkamena thanked him then left, confused.
"All of the suspects have airtight alibi's, I just don't get it!" Pinkie kicked a rock dejectedly.
"Pinkie!" Rainbow Dash flew up to her.
"Hey Dashie" Pinkie giggled "whats wrong?!"
"Celestia is demanding to see us in a couple of minutes! She said "it's time for you to know the truth."
"What!" shrieked Pinkie Pie, leaping into the air.
Rainbow frowned. "What's wrong? I thought you'd be happy?" she asked.
"I-I'm fine" Pinkie swallowed, backing away slightly. This meant that Celestia had given up hope. "I,uh,just remembered, I nearly forgot something . . . . uh bye!" she was just a pink streak as she ran away.
Rainbow Dash scratched her head and shrugged."Pinkie being Pinkie" she said, as if that explained all.

When Pinkie Pie stopped running she found herself at Saddle Street, where Crackling Radio lived. Maybe I can ask him about all this, she thought, walking up and ringing the doorbell. No answer.
Pinkie Pie turned and sighed, and began walking down the street again. "Oh hello Pinkie Pie" greeted Mayor Mare. "What are you doing here?"
"I was going to ask Crackling Radio something,but he isn't here" Pinkie frowned slightly.
"He is almost never home" agreed The Mayor. "Why yesterday, he got home at half nine."
Pinkie Pie, who was walking away from Mayor Mare, froze. What was it that Crackling Radio had said? "We left at half past five, I went straight home." The Mayor had a day off that week. She would of have noticed.... "Are you sure about that?" squeaked Pinkie.
The Mayor nodded "positive. I spent the entire day at home yesterday, and his front door is creaky, I know when he's coming home. That's his only door. Are you alright Pinkie?" she asked, staring a the mare who was blowing steam out of her nostrils.
"Okie Dokey Lokie" she hissed, the slid backwards,leaving Mayor Mare confused.
