Greetings, fellow FanFiction peoples! I come in peace. Take me to your leader...nah, JK!

OK, so I've had the idea for this story for a while...basically it's the cast of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" performing Disney's "The Great Mouse Detective." If it isn't obvious, I really love both of these fictions, and I wanted to combine the two. Hope you all enjoy!

THE PINK PONY DETECTIVE CAST:

*Pinkie Pie as Basil of Baker Street

*Twilight Sparkle as Dr. David Q Dawson

*Spike as Twilight's assistant (hey, I had to get the little guy in the story somehow!)

*Apple Bloom as Olivia Flaversham

*Discord as Professor Ratigan

*Gilda as Fidget

*Applejack as Hiram Flaversham

*Mrs. Cup Cake as Mrs. Judson

*Gummy as Toby

*Ursa Minor as Felicia

*Prince Blueblood as Bartholomew

*Flim Flam Brothers, Trixie and Diamond Dogs as Ratigan's gang

*Rarity as Miss Kitty

*Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash as Miss Kitty's backup dancers/sisters

*Princesses Celestia and Luna as Queen Mousetoria (they share the role)

And now; our story...

It was a quiet night in Ponyville. At Sweet Apple Acres, an orange earth pony with a yellow mane and tail fixed with red bands, green eyes, freckles, a cutie mark of three red apples and a cowgirl hat was working on sanding a carving she had made out of wood. This was Applejack, master apple bucker and woodworker. Near her was her younger sister Apple Bloom, an adorable filly with a yellow coat, a red mane and tail, golden eyes and a dark pink bow in her mane, playing with her favorite toy; a hoopty-loop that Applejack had made for her out of an old rain barrel.

"Golly, AJ, this has been my best birthday ever!" Apple Bloom told her sister happily.

"Hold your horseshoes, there, Apple Bloom, I haven't given ya your present yet," Applejack reminded her.

"What is it? What is it?" Apple Bloom asked excitedly, bouncing up and down like a rubber ball.

"Close your eyes," Applejack told her. Apple Bloom shut her eyes and covered them with her forehooves, but moved them away for a second. "Hey now, no peekin', li'l sis!" Apple Bloom giggled and recovered her eyes as Applejack went into a cupboard to get out her sister's present. "OK, you can open 'em."

Apple Bloom uncovered her eyes and gasped when she saw the gift. It was a beautifully-carved apple, painted red and green, with a crank attached to the side. Apple Bloom turned the crank. Music started playing, and at the end an adorable green worm popped out of the apple's top. Apple Bloom beamed. "Oh my gosh! You really made this for ME?"

"Sure did, kiddo."

Apple Bloom squealed and hugged her sister. "Oh, thank you thank you thank you, Applejack! You're the bestest big sister in all of Equestria!"

Little did the sisters realize that as they celebrated, a griffon with a broken wing and a pegleg was sneaking up to their door. Once the griffon got to the door, she tried to break it, rattling the doorknob. "Who's that?" Apple Bloom asked fearfully, cowering behind her sister.

"I dunno," Applejack replied. She grabbed ahold of her little sister and ran over to a large cabinet. "AB, hide in here and don't come out!" She shoved Apple Bloom into the cabinet and shut the door behind her...just as the griffon burst through the window.

Apple Bloom listened with fright as Applejack fought the griffon. "Take THAT, ya varmint!" There was a thud as the griffon hit a wall, but then a cry of "I gotcha NOW, dweeb!" then a cry of "APPLE BLOOM!" Then...silence.

The young filly pushed the door of the cabinet open, to see the room a mess. Furniture was turned over and broken. Paint was splattered every where. And worst of all, Applejack was gone.

"AJ! Where are ya?" Apple Bloom called to her sister as she ran to the now-broken window. "AJ! Where are ya?" No response. "AJ!" Silence. "AJ!"

Awww, poor Apple Bloom! I just wub her so much! That's one of the main reasons I cast her as Olivia; they're both adorable, they both wear those cute little hairbows, and I JUST WANT TO HUG BOTH OF THEM SO MUCH! DANG IT, WHY DO YOU TWO HAVE TO BE FICTIONAL SO I CAN'T HUG YOU?! OK, got that out of my system.

Next chapter, Apple Bloom meets up with Twilight Sparkle and Spike, and they all go together to find the famous detective Pinkie Pie of Sugar Cube Corner. Thanks for reading, please R&R!

All my best, DiscordantPrincess.
