Detective Note Pad took another sip of tea and tried to relax. He'd been up without sleep for quite a while and tried to sleep.

Taking a deep breath, he exhaled and reclosed his eyes. And waited. And waited...

"Forget it," he said, "Can't sleep."

He watched the door open through his sunglasses.

"Note!" his boss said, "How are ya?"

Note Pad sighed. "What is it now?"

His boss arched an eyebrow. "Sheesh, just popped in to say hi. You look tired as hell."

"I feel worse."

"You should take a vacation. Hey, I got it!"

He reached into his pocket and procured a coupon, handing it to Note Pad.

"What's this?" asked Note.

"My cousin works at the spa. You should take the week off."

Note Pad examined the coupon. "Really?"

"Yeah. Can't have my workers looking like shit. Bad for business."

"Gee, thanks."

"Anytime." replied his boss with a smile.

Derpy took to the skies to find the Wonderbolts. Pinkie was finding Rainbow Dash to help her retrace her steps.

Flying above some clouds, she noticed several Pegasi out doing tricks and spins. One however, was easily recognizable. A blue pegasus stallion flying.

"I think that's Soarin!" said Derpy, "Maybe he knows where Rainbow Dash's sunglasses are!"

Flying towards him, she began to shout his name. He didn't hear her over the headphones. She flew closer, but her impaired vision and his constant tricks and maneuvers threw her off.

Finally reaching him, she managed to remove his headphones. He whirled around, surprised.

"Oh, hi Derpy! What's up?"

She gave him back his headphones. "Hi Soarin. Have you seen Rainbow Dash's sunglasses?"

"Can't say I have. Why don't you check the Wonderbolts track ohwaityouburneditdown..."

"I actually burned a cloud down!" said Derpy, smiling and proud. "Can't check there then..."

"Does she have any hangouts?" asked Soarin. "Besides the Won-" Soarin stopped. "Okay I seriously have to know, how did you make a giant cloud catch fire?"

Derpy didn't listen. She was too deep in thought. "Hm..."

"Also why are you wearing detective gear?"

"I'm a detective!" said Derpy, "And a GOOD one, too!"

"Okay..."

It was already three o' clock and Derpy had made little progress. She wondered how Pinkie was doing.

"And now I'm here!" said Pinkie.

"You're Derpy's assistant detective? Celestia help us all..."

"So, when exactly did you lose your sunglasses?" asked Pinkie.

"Last night," said Rainbow Dash. "At Vinyl's party."

"And what were-"

"You were THERE."

"-you doing when you lost them?"

"I passed out and they were gone when I awoke. Somepony MUST have taken them..."

"Got it! Now to ask Vinyl what she thinks! Thanks Dashie!"

Pinkie bounced off and went to look for Derpy.

Note Pad entered the spa and was immediately hit with a sweet scent of flowers. His light red coat and black mane a contrast to the bright interior.

"A bit feminine, but whatever."

He approached the front desk and showed his coupon, and not long after received his spa treatment.

"Please lie down, sir." said Aloe.

He lied down and got his massage.

My boss' cousin sure is hot...

Another mare reached to remove his sunglasses, but he stopped her.

"No, they stay on." he said.

The mare was slightly confused, yet continued with the treatment.

What's so bad about his eyes? she thought.

Derpy and Pinkie were outside Vinyl's home, contemplating their next move.

"Dash's sunglasses are somewhere inside!" said Pinkie, "You ready, partner?"

Derpy nodded, holding up huge light brown packets and a small transmitter. "Yup! I got the C4 explosives!"

Derpy set the C4 packets around the doorframe. Then she backed up. Far.

"Shouldn't we knock?" asked Pinkie.

"Detectives don't knock, silly! They use explosives on innocent ponies!"

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

Pinkie and Derpy turned to see Vinyl, levitating groceries behind her with magic.

"WH- WHY-"

"Oh you're back!" said Derpy, hiding the transmitter. "How are you?"

Vinyl quickly went to her house and pulled away the C4 packets. "Put this somewhere else!"

Derpy held up the transmitter. "What about-"

"No! Away!"

"Aw..."

Derpy handed the explosive equipment to Pinkie, who promptly ate it all.

"Okay," said Vinyl calming down, "Why were you putting C4-"

"The C stands for cupcake." said Pinkie.

"..."

":D"

"...Why are you here?"

Derpy spoke. "Rainbow Dash said her sunglasses were here. Have you seen 'em?"

"They might be here. Come in."

The trio entered the house and looked around. Vinyl had cleaned up significantly.

"Your house is surprisingly clean." said Derpy.

"Thank you." said Vinyl. "I got tired of trudging through my house."

The three searched high and low for quite a while. Derpy took a break and headed for the kitchen.

She munched on some chips and saw a pair of sunglasses off to the side.

Picking them up, she checked the side, where the initials "R.D." were shown.

"Oh mah gawd." said Derpy. "Pinkie, get over here!"

"Yes?" said Pinkie, bouncing into the kitchen.

Derpy wore the sunglasses and posed. "Look! I'm Pony Sheen!"

"AHAHAHAHA!" laughed Pinkie, rolling on the floor. "You look just like him!"

Derpy tossed the sunglasses to the side. "Okay, time to get serious. Did you check the bathroom?"

"Yup."

"The basement?"

"Mhm." nodded Pinkie.

"The garage?"

Pinkie nodded. "Why does Vinyl have a motorcycle?"

"We're NEVER gonna find these sunglasses..."

Derpy felt bad. She let her friend down. She might as well tell her it was pointless.

"This was a bad idea..." said Derpy picking up the sunglasses. "I gotta tell Dash I let her down..."

Derpy put the sunglasses on and smiled. "At least I can show her my Pony Sheen impression..."

The two departed from Vinyl's house in search of Rainbow Dash.

Note Pad left the spa and cracked his neck.

"Man, that felt good."

He looked back and waved at the spa ponies, who giggled and blushed, waving back.

"Now," said Note Pad, "What to do for a week..."
