Pinkie perked up at the word “clue”. “Stay here Mr. Thunderhooves.” She said as she bounced towards Rarity and Fluttershy. Who were with a buffalo calf with a sketch pad. The calf showed Pinkie what he drew a creature with spiky hair and a scar on its nose; half buffalo, half cat.
“I convinced him to draw what he saw.” Fluttershy said.
“I asked what this thing was and it was a Lipzigger, whatever that is.” Rarity followed up. “It's definitely not a pony however.”
“Lipi'co.” Little Strongheart said. “It's buffalo folklore. My grandmother used to talk about the Lipi'co or Cat Warrior in Buffalo as well. If calves don't behave, the Lipi'co would kidnap them and take them to it's den where it will enslave them. And if they are still disobediant stew them in a pot.” Pinkie Pie swiped some make up from Rarity's satchel and marked herself with a fake scar and whiskers then slipped on some cat ears and started to sing a song:
two little calves in sleeping bags,
their disobedient mane was hidden by innocent hats!
But, funny little calves They thought I was their dads!
O what shall I do with the funny little brats?
O what shall I do with the funny little brats?
Roast 'em alive, or stew them in a pot;
fry them, boil them, eat them hot?
Bake and toast 'em, fry and roast 'em!
till manes blaze, and eyes glaze;
fur smells and skins crack
fat melts, and bones black
in cinders lie
beneath the sky!
So calves shall... die
“Such a gruesome song. You even made the calf scared.” Rarity said as she noticed the calf hiding behind Fluttershy. “However with that song you really made me realize that no wonder everybody's afraid. Their future are being kidnapped and might get cooked by a monster. What ever will we do?” Pinkie smiled. Rarity grimaced and Fluttershy shivered at this motion.
“We trap it.” Pinkie Pie answered. “Fluttershy, you're bait. Little Strongheart, other calf watch me too and gather around.” Pinkie Pie began to draw in the sand the plan of the trap. She drew Fluttershy, Little Strongheart and the other calf in sleeping bags. “What's your name little one?” Pinkie asked.
“Big Oyster.” He responded. Pinkie Pie nodded and continued to draw the trap. Placing one bait at the eastern, western and southern
“OK, Fluttershy, Little Strongheart and Big Oyster. You three are the bait, one at the east, west and south. North will be covered by Thunderhooves. Rarity and I will have these ready to fire at this boogey pony. Rarity take the east, I'll take the west.” She said as she readied two net guns. “We got ourselves a monster to capture. Ponies take your stations!” Pinkie Pie moved up to the western high point hills and put on a large backpack with camping gear attached. The attached gear included, an easy bake oven, a miniature flag with Pinkie Pie's cutie mark on it, and a Gummy doll wearing a Panama hat. “This is going to be good.” With that, everypony (and buffalo) took their places. Night fell and at first Pinkie Pie was vigilant, scoping out the terrain and where Fluttershy decided to lie in wait for the kidnapper to take her.She had faith in Rarity that she was doing the same. However, just like she did on the MMMystery, Pinkie Pie nodded off and fell asleep to dream of success and being a heroine in the buffaloes' eyes.
Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were walking down an aisle that was created by two ranks of buffalo flanking them. All three of them nodded and smiled at each other and approached Chief Thunderhooves, who instead of his normal body had a body that was chubbier and diapered. When the three detectives approached Chief Thunderhooves gave each pony a prize. Rarity was given access to the secret buffalo mines of platinum, Fluttershy was given access to the royal mangerie of animals and Pinkie Pie was given the key to the Land of Sugar and Spice. Pinkie Pie grinned ear to ear and ran towards a tipi that Chief Thunderhooves pointed to and entered it. Inside the tipi was a colorful land with big flowery meadows, a bright blue sky with giant pudgy kittens floating around, giant lollipops and candy sprouting out of the ground, and a little town full of candy shops and party decorations. Pinkie began to hop around the landscape licking every lollipop she could find and shoving cupcakes into each of her cheeks. She saw her friends including Twilight Sparkle, Applejack and Rainbow Dash enter her cave of candy. Who Pinkie Pie decided to play catch with a jawbreaker.
“Pinkie, Pinkie.” Rainbow Dash said as she got stuck in gumdrops that a prankster frog with a fez placed underneath her hooves.
“Yes Rainbow Dash?” Pinkie Pie asked through mouthfuls of cupcakes.
“WHY DID YOU FALL ASLEEP!?”
“What do you mean?” Pinkie asked. Twilight Sparkle grabbed some cream soda from a river and threw it at Pinkie Pie
Pinkie Pie woke up and saw her five friends all looking angry at her. “What did I do?” She asked.
“You allowed Little Strongheart to get kidnapped you dumbo!” Rainbow Dash yelled.
