"Phew, finaly got to finish this chapter. I started to lose intrest in the and but now I'm back and ready to write another day. As for the fanfic, I hope you enjoyed what I made so far and expect there to be more of this.
*2 HOURS LATER*
*PONYVILLE FOSTER HOME*
The group stood in front of a small home with a sign that says "Ponyville foster home". It looked old and a bit abandoned. There were no noises to be heard from inside and the door was covered by a big layer of dust.
"You sure this is the place, Rainbow?" Clops asked.
"After I explained what happened they must've taken actions quickly and brought Scootaloo here." Rainbow explained. "This place was abandoned for a while and was ready to be demolished, but seeing that there is a filly without any parents now they can't take the place down."
"Or they could just take the place down and you could take care of Scootaloo for a while." Spitfire said, quickly followed by a giggle.
"Nah, I'm not a mother." Rainbow replied. "Besides, I want her to look at me like a big sister, not a mother."
"Didn't she do that already?" Airwing asked.
Rainbow decided to ignore the question and quickly got back to the main topic. "Remember why we are here, guys. We need to get an answer from Scootaloo and, well… I wanna do it on my own."
"Wasn't that the plan in the first place?" Clops said.
"O, yeah, right." Rainbow said a little embarrassed. The rest flew away without even saying goodbye while Rainbow walked inside the building. It was less dirty then from the outside and there were quite a few ponies working there. Rainbow quickly walked to the counter and continued her mission.
"Say, can I help you ma'am?" The pony behind the counter asked.
"Can you tell me where Scootaloo is, please?" Rainbow replied.
"Certainly, she's in her room upstairs." The pony replied.
"Thanks." Rainbow said. As she walked upstairs she realized that she hadn't planned anything out. She went in there clueless and she didn't know how to convince Scootaloo seeing that everypony thinks that Twilight is the killer. Once she stood in front of the room, she didn't hesitate and walked in. Inside she saw a sad Scootaloo, laying on the desk, not paying attention to her surroundings. "Scootaloo?" Rainbow said, trying to get the attention from Scootaloo.
"Hi, Rainbow." Scootaloo replied with a sad voice, she didn't even turn her head around to look at Rainbow.
"I assume you heard about Twilight?" Rainbow asked.
"Yes." Scootaloo replied, still in the depressed tone as before.
"Listen, Scootaloo, I want to know why your parents left Ponyville." Rainbow said. "Do you know anything?"
"Does it matter?" Scootaloo replied, slowly getting angry. "They're dead and the killer has been found. So why does it matter?"
"Why are you getting so upset all the sudden?" Rainbow asked in a bit of a shock.
"Because I had to live in the same town as the one who killed my parents! That's why!" Scootaloo yelled out as she finally turned around. "I trusted her! Almost as much as I trusted you! Until they told me everything and put me in this old place!"
"Scootaloo!" Rainbow yelled back. "Listen, I know you're upset, but that is not the way you talk about another pony!"
Scootaloo said nothing. She just looked away, uncertain if it was because of anger or fright. Rainbow got pissed off because of this. "LOOK AT ME AND TE…" She quickly stopped talking once she heard Scootaloo cry. And because of that, she decided to tell the truth. "Listen, Scootaloo, I think I made a mistake."
"What kind of mistake?" Scootaloo asked, slowly stopping with her crying.
"I think I was wrong about Twilight." Rainbow replied.
Scootaloo was in a bit of a shock. She could hardly understand why Rainbow would say that. "But they said you found out. They said that they have evidence that she did it."
"I think there is something behind this. So please can you just tell me why your parents left ponyville?" Rainbow asked.
"It's nothing really." Scootaloo said. "They just left because they had an invitation for something."
"An invitation to what?" Rainbow asked again.
"I believe it was for a show." Scootaloo replied.
Rainbow eyes widened greatly after she heard that. "A magic show? "She asked shocked.
"Yes, that was it. How did you know?" Scootaloo asked.
"How could I have been so stupid." Rainbow said to herself. "Listen, Scootaloo, I got to go. But I promise we will find the real killer."
"We? Are you implying that you're not doing this alone?" Scootaloo asked.
"Just don't tell anypony about this. Goodbye Scootaloo." Rainbow said as she quickly left the building without getting a response from Scootaloo.
*2 HOURS LATER*
"So, how do you think she's doing?" Clops asked to Spitfire.
"I know her, she'll get an answer out of that filly." Spitfire proclaimed with a smile.
"No, I'm talking about the filly, Scootaloo." Clops replied. "Rainbow never told her that she was going to a foster home and we both saw that place. It was a wreck."
"She's back!" Airwing yelled from upstairs. He saw Rainbow Dash fly toward the hideout, nearly crashing in, if it wasn't for the fact he opened the door in time.
Clops, Spitfire and Tec walked upstairs and greeted Rainbow. "Have you found out something?"
Rainbow was still recovering from the crash. After she shook her head she started talking. "O do I ever!" She said extremely excited.
"Well, what is it?" Clops asked almost as excited as Rainbow.
"The show!" Rainbow replied with joy.
"What show?" Spitfire asked, not understanding Rainbow quiet well.
"OK, allow me to explain." Rainbow said. "The night my mother died she was talking about being invited to a magic show."
"So? That doesn't relate to anything." Airwing replied.
"Not done yet." Rainbow continued. "Back in the forest when we met that friend of Vinyl, he said that there was a magic show being preformed. Now before you guys are going to interrupt me again just listen: When I asked why Scootaloo's parents were in Cloudsdale, guess what she said?"
"I see, you're saying that this magic show has something to do with it." Clops said as he finally understood what she was talking about.
"Now I think about it, Soarin said he had an appointment for the night." Spitfire said. "He must've been invited to that show."
"The last time my son called, he said he didn't have a lot of time because of a deadline." Clops said.
"Back when I was in Fluttershy's memory, she putted her mail in the drawer." Rainbow said. "Maybe we can find her invitation in there!"
"We don't have time to waste, tomorrow will be the trail against Twilight." Clops said. "We need to find that invitation as fast as possible!" Clops didn't hesitate and quickly flew out of the building, directly to Fluttershy's apartment. The rest didn't hesitate either and instantly followed him.
*30 MINUTES LATER*
Once they were there they saw Clops waiting in front of the door. "So now we're here, how do we get in?" He said.
"After she was sent to the hospital, I locked up the door and took the key with me." Rainbow proclaimed. "Allow me." She opened the door and was greeted by the same room she saw on that fateful night. On the wall was dried blood that with a few drips barely didn't hit the floor. The image of Fluttershy being tortured slowly took image in Rainbows eyes.
"Rainbow? Everything OK?" Airwing asked when he noticed she was daydreaming.
Rainbow shook her head, turning back to reality. "Yeah, I'm fine." She quickly noticed the drawer Fluttershy putted her mail in. "It's in there." She said as she quickly walked into the general direction of the drawer. Once she had opened the drawer, she saw a single envelop inside with the text "congratulations" written on it. She opened the envelop and was greeted by a small blue shed of paper. Rainbow started reading what it said. "By this you have won a free private magic show in the forest. Be warned! This is a one chance only! If you are in the forest below I will come to bring you to the most spectacular show you have ever seen!" She said to the rest of the group.
"Well, who wrote it?" Clops asked to Rainbow.
"It doesn't give a name, but I do have the feeling I know who it is." Rainbow explained.
"Who then?" Spitfire asked as confused as she could be.
"I'm not certain about it though." Rainbow replied when a idea suddenly struck her head. "Tec, I think I know a way you can be useful after all."
"Umm… how?" Tec asked confused.
"You said you were an evidence specialist, right?" Rainbow said with a confident look on her face.
"I don't ge… O, I see." Tec said as he walked to Rainbow.
"Can anypony explain what you two are blabbering about?" Clops once as he couldn't take the act.
"She wants me to find DNA traces, boss." Tec replied
"O, well that doesn't seem to hard." Clops said. "Let's go back to the hideout and hope for some answers."
*2 HOURS LATER*
Tec was busy with the evidence downstairs while the rest kept waiting upstairs. "How long is this going to take?" Rainbow asked bored out her mind.
"From the time that it has already taken, not long anymore." Clops replied. "Then again, this is the first time he actually did something. So who knows."
They heard steps coming from the basement. "Finally, I have the answer!" Tec yelled out with pride.
"Well who is it!" Rainbow asked with an excited voice.
"I got different DNA results from various ponies." Tec replied. "The results were from you, Fluttershy and Derpy Hooves. However, there is one that sticks out from the rest."
"Just tell us who it is already!" Airwing yelled out very frustrated.
"OK, OK, calm down." Tec said while trying to calm down Airwing. "Her name is…"
"Royal guards incoming!" Spitfire yelled out, interrupting Tec.
"Royal guards? What are they doing here?" Clops asked to the rest.
"Umm… I kinda flew away for no apparent reason." Rainbow said with shame.
"O dear Celestia. Everypony, hide in the basement." Clops ordered. "I'll take care of this."
The rest didn't hesitate and quickly followed Clops's orders. Clops opened the front door and was greeted by 3 royal guards. "Detective Clops, where are you going?" One of the three guards said, surprised that Clops opened the door before they even knocked on it.
"Oh, just going to buy some groceries." Clops said with a very good poker face. "Say, why are you here anyway? Isn't the investigation over?"
"We are here for miss Dash. Do you know where she could be?" The second royal guard said with a very serious tone in his voice.
"I haven't seen her since the hospital." Clops replied. "Why are you looking for her? Did she go missing or something?"
"She left for no reason when she was interrogating Twilight Sparkle." The last royal guard said. "But we're also here to bring you a message."
"Really? What could that be?" Clops asked.
"We are here to inform that the court will be moved to tomorrow." The first royal guard said.
"Really? This soon?" Clops said surprised. "Well, if I see Rainbow Dash, I'll let her what I know."
"Good, we must go and continue seek for her." The first royal guard said. And with that the three guards flew off to continue their duty. When they were out of sight Clops quickly closed the door, while the rest reappeared from the basement.
"So what did they say?" Rainbow asked.
"They were looking for you, Rainbow." Clops replied.
"And now something I didn't know." Rainbow said.
"The court has been moved to tomorrow." Clops replied. "If we want to find the real killer, we better act fast or Twilight will be a goner."
"Tomorrow! They are putting her behind bars this soon!" Rainbow yelled out. "Tec, you have to tell us who the stick-out is!"
"The reason why it's a stick-out is because the DNA I found was in the ink." Tec explained.
"Give us the name already!" Rainbow yelled into Tec's face.
"All I could find were the words "great and powerful". There weren't any other links to the DNA source." Tec explain, getting a little afraid of Rainbow.
"Wait, you said "It's" As if you had a name before the guards showed up. So why do you all the sudden say that you don't have a full name!" Airwing asked with a very irritated tone in his voice.
"I was going to say: "It's strange, I couldn't find a full name." but because the guards popped up, I didn't need to." Tec replied.
The whole time Rainbow was mute. She was thinking about the past and where she heard that name before, when everything came back to her. "I know who the killer is!" She yelled out with joy.
"Really! Who is it?" Clops asked, getting nearly as excited as Rainbow Dash.
"I can't tell yet, we need proof." Rainbow replied. "If we just go back and say we THINK who the killer is, we might as well say "We're crazy"."
"Then what do you have in mind?" Spitfire asked.
Rainbow remained silent for a few seconds. Then she came up with an idea. "I know, we can try to find something in her carriage!" She said with joy.
"The killer probably stays there. So if we are spotted, we're screwed." Clops said with a disappointed tone in his voice.
"Not if we go tomorrow." Rainbow replied. "The killer most likely wants to see Twilight the trail so if we go find it then, chances are that she will leave her carriage behind. So if we go in when the trail starts, we can get answers."
"But we don't even know where it is." Airwing said.
"That's why we have to try and find it tonight!" Rainbow said. "Only then can we stop Twilight from going to jail."
"But she most likely cleaned the entire place up by now." Clops said.
"We'll find something. I know we will." Rainbow said with a serious tone in her voice.
"OK then, seems we don't have any other options." Clops said. "Airwing, Tec, you two will go search the left side of the forest. Rainbow, Spitfire, the two of you need to go search the right side of the forest. I will try to put the case on somewhat of a hold."
"Got it!" The four said as if he was their general.
*THE NEXT MORNING*
The five were standing in the middle of the forest, discussing everything step of the plan.
"OK, this could take a few hours so make sure that you guys have food and everything, got it?" Clops asked with a straight face.
"Yeah, yeah. Just go to the court and buy us some time." Rainbow said with a bored look on her face.
"I'll most likely qualify as a witness, so I have to tell everything that happened. I'll try to make things up as I go." Clops replied. "You guys just come back with proof, got it?"
"Just get going already. We can take it from here." Airwing replied.
"I will be going now. Good luck." Clops said as he flew away.
"Let's go guys, we don't want to keep Twilight waiting." Rainbow said as she walked into the forest. The rest didn't hesitate quickly did the same thing.
"The group searched high and low for the killers carriage. Rainbow and Spitfire have been searching for hours, but without success."
"You know, I don't get it." Rainbow said to Spitfire. "Why are Airwing and Tec in this anyway?"
"Actually, you got a good point there." Spitfire replied. "I haven't really thought about it, nor questioned it. But that doesn't matter right now does it?"
"Yeah, you're right." Rainbow replied when suddenly noticed something in the distance. "Spitfire, look!" She said with an joyful voice while pointing to, what looked like, an old, abandoned, carriage.
"That must be it!" Spitfire said with a nearly as excited voice as Rainbow. "We can't go in right away. We need to make sure there is nopony inside." She said as she pulled out a communicator.
"What's that?" Rainbow asked.
"It's a communicator, stupid." Spitfire replied. "You really think we would just split up and not let each other know that one of us found the carriage?"
"Umm… yeah, sorry." Rainbow replied a little embarrassed.
"Airwing, Tec, you can stop your search." Spitfire said through the communicator. "We already found it."
"Roger, Spit." Airwing replied. "Should we come to you?"
"That would be useful. Spitfire out." Spitfire said as she turned off the communicator. "OK, Rainbow, we… Rainbow?" She said when she noticed Rainbow Dash was already checking out the carriage.
"It's alright! There is nopony here!" Rainbow yelled from the carriage.
Spitfire came galloping to the carriage as fast as she could. "Are you crazy! You could have been spotted!" She said with concern.
"Pfft, even if I was spotted, she still had to deal with these two babies." Rainbow said as she pulled her two front hooves. "We're already here, why not check the place out?"
"O no you don't! You already got us enough trouble. We'll wait here for the others, then we'll go in." Spitfire said with an angry tone in her voice.
"Fine." Rainbow said with a frustrated tone in her voice, then she noticed something. "Look out, royal guards!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.
"WHAT! WHERE!" Spitfire said panicking. As she turned around however, she didn't see anything, just the same old forest as before. "Very funny, Rainbo… ARG, she did it again!"
Meanwhile Rainbow was in the carriage. She locked the door behind her to make sure Spitfire wouldn't break in. "So, where do I begin?" She said as she was looking around. The place was deserted and messy, as if there hasn't been anyone inside for days. It was dark, so it was hard to find anything in this mess. She saw that the place was very small, so there wasn't that much to find. The first place she looked was on the desktop, but there was nothing to be found. The next place she looked was in a drawer, but it with the same result. "Come on, there must be something." She thought to herself when she noticed a chest next to the bed. "That's it!" She said. She tried opening the chest but it was locked, then suddenly she heard the door open.
"RAINBOW!" Spitfire yelled as she jumped through the door and onto Rainbow. "Gotcha! Now you're not going anywhere."
"How did you get in?" Rainbow asked surprised.
"I used a hairpin to open the lock." Spitfire replied.
"You got a hairpin?" Rainbow said confused. "Doesn't matter. Can you do me a favor?"
"After you locked me out! Are you crazy!" Spitfire said very frustrated. She slowly calmed down however and gave in. "Alright. What is it?"
"I need you to open that chest." Rainbow replied. "It's the only place I haven't looked but it's locked."
"No problem." Spitfire replied as she pulled out her hairpin. Once she opened the lock the chest slowly opened by itself, scaring the two ponies a little. Luckily, there was something inside this time.
"A book?" Rainbow said disappointed. "All this work and we only have a book!" She was ready to rage when she suddenly noticed a piece of paper stick out from the bottom. She quickly grabbed the book and pulled piece of paper, which apparently was a envelope, out of it. Her eyes widened when she saw her mother's name on it. "What's this doing here?"
"Rainbow, look. Here are more." Spitfire said as she pulled more envelopes from the chest. "Strange, these are the names of the victims. Soarin, Leroy Wingkings, Dumb-Bell, you name it." Spitfire suddenly noticed that Rainbow was reading the book. It looked like she was scared while reading it, when suddenly a big grin grew on her face. "Rainbow, you OK?"
"This is it, Spit." Rainbow said with joy. "This right here is what we were looking for."
"Spitfire! Rainbow! Where are you!" Airwing yelled from outside.
"We're in here!" Spitfire yelled back. As the two walked outside, they were greeted by the two stallions. "Toke long enough." She said with a bold tone.
"Hey, can we help it. You didn't give a full location. We're lucky that we noticed the carriage or we never would've arrived." Tec replied. "Wait… what are you doing here anyway? Weren't you supposed to wait?"
"That doesn't matter. What matters is that we get to the court fast!" Rainbow said with a concerned voice.
"Why? You got something?" Airwing asked.
"You bet." Rainbow replied. "But I'll explain it on the way there. Now move it!"
*MEANWHILE*
*CANTERLOT COURT*
The amount of ponies in the court was bigger than ever before, over a thousand came, most of which were Pegasi. Twilight was strapped up in chains and she was wearing the same helmet as before. She unfortunately has no lawyer, which means she has to defend herself.
"Does Mr. Clops want to come forward?" The judge, who himself was also a Pegasus, asked to the big crowed. In the far back of the room a brown Pegasus stood up and walked to the judge. He saw the terrified look on Twilight's face. "Mr. Clops, can you clarify that Ms. Sparkle committed any of the crimes that happened these past weeks?" The judge asked to Clops.
"Unfortunately no. I haven't seen Twilight in any of the events nor have I heard of any witnesses that have seen Twilight at any of the crime scenes. Well, except one." Clops said very professional.
"And who could that be?" The judge asked.
"Well, she unfortunately couldn't come here, but I'm sure she wouldn't have made a difference." Clops replied, trying to buy some time.
"You still haven't answer my question." The judge commented. "Who is it?"
"I don't think that would be necessary." Clops replied once more.
"You are trying my patience, detective." The judge said with a minorly frustrated tone in his voice. "Now give me an answer."
"Alright, alright." Clops replied. "Her name is…"
"STOP THIS TRAIL!" A female voice from the door shouted through the entire room. At the door stood the six color maned pegasus, as well as three other pegasi standing behind her.
"And who might you be?" The judge asked very calm.
"My name is Rainbow dash." Rainbow replied. "And I am here to catch the killer."
"Ah yes, Rainbow dash." The judge said before turning his attention to Clops. "Is she the witness, Detective?"
"Yes. This is the one who found out that Twilight committed the murders." Clops replied.
"Aside the fact that I'm now here to proof she's innocent!" Rainbow interrupted.
A small giggle came from the judge. "Are you being serious? First you say she is the killer and now you say she is innocent?"
"Yes, that's what I just said." Rainbow replied with pride.
"OK then, care to explain who did it?" The judge asked, back in his serious tone.
"Actually, yes I do." Rainbow replied. "The killer is female. The killer is a unicorn. The killer kills at night. These facts are known to all.
"Just get to the point, Rainbow." Airwing whispered in her ear.
"Now these are the things many of you don't know." Rainbow said. "She stayed in the woods. She INVITED her victims, whether they came or not. And she certainly isn't Twilight."
"And who might it be then?" The judge asked with a small grin on his face.
"She is in this very room. She is probably trying to escape right now. She most likely…"
"Oh dear Celestia, GET ON WITH IT!" Clops yelled with frustration.
"OK, OK. She is… The Great And Powerful Trixie!" Rainbow yelled through the entire room, followed by a loud gasp from everypony else in the room. And by the door, there she was. The blue pony with a white mane stood there, ready to leave but frozen up after she heard her name drop. Slowly she turned her head with shame, before she suddenly bursted out in laughter .
"HA HA HA HA, that's very funny. For a second I thought you said my name." She laughed out sarcastically, followed by a bad poker face.
The entire room remained silent, which was soon broken by the judge. "Can Trixie come forward, please?" Trixie suddenly widened her eyes in surprise when she heard those words come from the judge. With no way out, she walked toward the judge and sat down.
"May I have the honor?" Rainbow asked to judge.
"Certainly." The judge replied.
"Stand back everypony, I want to do this on my own." Rainbow dash said to the rest of the group. She slowly walked toward Trixie, who, surprisingly enough, kept her face straight. She looked into her eyes, seeing the insane killer inside, and she is going to get that monster out in the light.
"Misses Dash, you may begin." The judge signaled.
Rainbow dash took a deep breath to prepare herself, then she started her speech. "Several months ago you came to ponyville to hold a magic show, am I right?"
"Yes." Trixie replied with a straight face.
"And is it true that one of your marketing points was that you "defeated" a ursa major?"
"Yes."
"But when a ursa minor attacks ponyville, you couldn't even scare it, right."
"What is your point?" Trixie said as she became more annoyed by Rainbow's questions.
"But then a unicorn came in and defeated the ursa minor and took the spotlight. And her name was Twilight Sparkle!"
Trixie didn't say anything after she heard that, all that appeared was what seemed to be a really angry look on her face.
"Ofcourse she being the student of the princess and all, word about your hoax spread fast and quickly and soon nopony wanted to be around you. Naturally you must've been angry, I can only imagine how it must feel to lose the spotlight. Actually I know how that feels, but that's beside the point."
"Don't go there." Trixie threatened with a angry look on her face.
"So you decided to start over, back at the place where your career began. Which, coincidently, just so happened to be Cloudsdale."
"True, I went in the forest and invited several ponies who's name I found in a phonebook, what is the crime in that?" Trixie replied, having calmed down even more.
"Yes I know that. I have to say, pretty touching book." Rainbow confessed.
"Wait, WHAT!" Trixie yelled out surprised. "You have been in my trailer!"
"Yes, and I also know what happened next."
Trixie didn't say anything. She was stuck between a state of shock and anger.
"After you send your invitation to Leroy Winkings, you thought that you could start all over again, leaving the past behind. But everypony still remembered everything, including him." The frustration in Trixie kept boiling up. "After he started taunting you, something snapped, while he kept on naming the things you wanted to keep in the past, you just grew the urg to…"
"TO RIP HIS HEAD OFF!" Trixie yelled out in anger and frustration. The entire room gasped, followed by Trixie putting her hoof in front of her mouth.
"Is that a confession I hear?" Rainbow taunted.
Trixie took a deep breath. "OK, I confess. I am the Cloudsdale ripper."
Rainbow turned around and started talking to the audience. "You see? This wasn't because had a grudge to the city or something like that. She did it just because she wanted Twilight to be even more hated then she is, am I right?" She said when she turned to Trixie.
"Yes, yes you are." Trixie has already given up on denying the truth. "I first decided to kill some random pegasi so that the city would start to hate the killer I.E. me. I putted in a special spell on the invitations so when they wouldn't come I could find them. When I found out you and your friend where in town I knew exactly what to do, and that was to scare the coward with the image of a face she could trust!"
Every fiber in Rainbow sash's body had the urg to punch Trixie in the face, but before she knew it Clops has already done the same. "Take that you filfy little…"
"Clops calm down!" Spitfire said as she jumped in-between the two.
"There is just one thing I don't understand." Rainbow said. "Why invite the two residents from Ponyville?"
"Oh, that. I wanted that everypony would think that the killer would've moved to Ponyville so that your friend, Fluttershy was it, would keep her guard down.
"Guards, take her away!" A female voice said from the sky. As everypony looked up, they saw Celestia leaping from the sky. Suddenly a big metal helmet was put on Trixie's head. It was the same helmet twilight wore. As the guards toke Trixie away, she started struggling and yelling.
"Stop, you can't do this! I am the Great And Powerful Trixie! I cannot be defeated! Do you hear me? I cannot be STOPPED!" She yelled out when the doors opened and she got dragged away.
When the doors closed, Twilight instantly jumped in a hugged Rainbow dash. "O THANK YOU!" She kept repeating.
"Gees, calm down Twi. You're killing me." Rainbow joked. When Twilight let go she continued. "You shouldn't thank me. I was the one who put you up in this trouble in the first place. If anything, I should be apologizing."
"For what?" Twilight asked. "For being the only to believe me? For trying to undo your mistake? Me thanking you is the least I could do."
Rainbow grew a smile and almost shed a tear. "Come on Twi, let's go home."
*THAT EVENING*
*RAINBOW'S APPARTMENT*
Rainbow had all her stuff packed and was ready to fly off, when she suddenly saw Clops come out of Fluttershy's room. "What are you doing here?"
"I thought I'd do Fluttershy a favor by bring her stuff back to her home." Clops answered.
Rainbow dash made a small giggle and looked into the sky. "So, what are you going to do now this is all over?" She asked.
"Probably go back to my old life." Clops replied. "And what about you?"
"I don't know." Rainbow replied with a depressed face. "There is still Fluttershy in the hospital, me trying to explain the rest of my friend what exactly happened, and…" Rainbow looked away with shame before she finished her sentence.
"You're talking about Scootaloo, aren't you?" Clops said. "You know, you can always adopt her."
"Like told to Spitfire, I'm not a mother type, especially when she is involved." Rainbow replied.
"You don't have to be her mother." Clops said, surprising Rainbow. "You already said that she was like a little sister to you, and she always treated you like her big sister, so why not make her your sister?"
Rainbow didn't respond. She looked away, thinking. Once she came with an idea she look at Clops, but didn't say anything. When she flew away with high speed, Clops could tell just by the glance on her face what she was going to do.
*PONYVILLE FOSTER HOME*
Scootaloo was ready to go to bed. She was depressed, not just because of the fact her parents were dead, but because she is alone in this rat hole. All day she has been laying on the desk in her room, crying because she had no one. When she got herself ready to go to bed, suddenly she heard her name come from the door.
"Scootaloo…" Rainbow Dash said with a smile.
"O, hi Rainbow." Scootaloo said with a depressed voice.
"So, how are you doing?" Rainbow asked.
"Fine." Scootaloo replied without making eye contact.
"You sure?"
Scootaloo slowly got annoyed by Rainbows constant asking, so she decided to change the subject. "Why are here?" She said with an annoyed tone.
"I'm here to tell you we found the real killer." Rainbow replied.
Scootaloo grew a small smile, but then grew back to her sad position. "That's good."
"I have been doing some looking around this place and it look like a rat hole." Rainbow said.
That comment made Scootaloo giggle. "Hmpf, tell me something new."
"I wanna know, what do you think of me?" Rainbow asked.
The question surprised Scootaloo so much, it made her jump a bit. After a few seconds of thinking she decided to give her answer. "I think you are amazing. I mean, you helped stopping Nightmare Moon and Discord, have a amazing love for speed, are the only one who ever did a sonic rainboom AND captured the Cloudsdale ripper. You are my hero, no matter what happens."
That response made Rainbow Dash cry with joy. After she rubbed away her tears she started talking again. "*sniff* You forgot one thing."
"And what would that be?" Scootaloo said with a small giggle.
"I'm you sister." When Scootaloo heard that, her eyes widened and her body paralyzed. "I already made arrangements with the keeper. You can come home with me. Just remember one thing, I don't want you to see me as your mother, but like you always saw me. Like a big sister.
Scootaloo first started shedding tears, then she started crying while she jumped to Rainbow for a hug. "Thank you, Rainbow dash! I promise that I'll be a good sister!" She cried out with joy.
Rainbow, being equally as happy, returned that hug and started crying to. "*sniff* Come Scootaloo, let's go home."
"And that is how our tale ends. Clops went back to his daily routine of detective work, though it has been rather calm. Both Airwing and Tec have been chosen to do royal duties by the princess, Tec mainly works on a defensive program for Canterlot, while Airwing has been chosen to become head guard. Spitfire continued her job as being the leader of the wonderbolts. She even has made a new technique called the Soarin, in horror of their lost team member. As for Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, their story will be told another time. But as for Trixie…"
*THAT NIGHT*
*THE CANTERLOT CHAIMBERS*
It has been over 8 hours since Trixie has been brought here. Her helmet needed a key to be taken off, so she has been stuck with it the whole time. Suddenly, she heard the locked doors open and saw Celestia and Luna walk through. "So what will be my punishment?" She asked, no longer trying to deny her fate. "Will it be a trip to the moon like your sister? Or will you be a bit more original and sent me to the sun so I can burn?"
Trixie's taunting angered both Celestia and Luna. Celestia decided to play it cool for now. "No. It toke a lot of thinking, but we came up with the perfect punishment." A guard came in with a strange big black box.
"What's that?" Trixie asked in confusion.
"This is what I like to call a survival box." Celestia responded. "You will be put in here and it will be sent to the center of the earth where you will live for all eternity. Luna and I have putted a spell on the box so you will not age nor will you die of starvation."
Trixie didn't get angry or anything like that, in fact she embraced her punishment and walked in the box. "Close it up. The sooner the better." She said without regrets. The guards Closed the box and strapped it with thick chains. Once that was done Celestia and Luna proceeded to sent the box to the center of the earth.
"I'll be back. And once I'm back, I'll be coming for you, Rainbow Dash.""
