Quest 1: The Cutie Mark Detectives!

Apple Bloom: Mmph! *munch* ... I dunno why I get these great ideas when I'm munchin' on apple fritters... but that doesn't matter -- I gotta find Sweetie Belle 'n' Scootaloo!
Apple Bloom: I was up all night readin' a detective book big sis Applejack gave me -- to get me to stop sneakin' apple fritters -- and then it hit me...
Apple Bloom: The Cutie Mark Crusaders should try super sleuthin' detective work! I mean, we know Ponyville like the backs of our hooves, right? We could solve anythin' this town throws at us!

Quest 2: The Big Pin Heist!

Sweetie Belle: Welllll, it's different, but I think it could work. We're pretty smart, after all!
Scootaloo: Yeah, and it'd be exciting, too! I bet we'd face down lots of danger and stuff...
Jeff Letrotski: Heyyy, did I hear you little ponies mention solving mysteries? That's crazy. That's, like, exactly what we need right now. Right, Walter?
Bowling Pony: Dude, that is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Some COWARD'S been STEALING our bowling pins -- and we're DAYS away from the All Equestria Bowling Tourney! It's SABOTAGE! Plain! And! Simple!
Sweetie Belle: S-So you're missing your bowling pins... Um, is he okay?
Jeff Letrotski: Yeah, he's kinda freaking out. He's, like, really close to beating the legendary Kingpin's strike record, so, y'know... time's of the essence here, and such...
Apple Bloom: Wow... our first mystery came faster than I thought, but it couldn't have arrived quickly enough -- Ponyville's bowling honor is at stake! C'mon guys, let's mosey on over to the scene of the crime...!

Battle Stages

Battle 1: Bowling for Honor (Minions)

Scootaloo: Fear not, fair bowlers! We're-- ... Whoa, who poured salt in the cupcake mix? The mood in here's downright gloomy!
Bowling Pony: It's GOTTA be the nihilists takin' all the pins. I'm tellin' you, pony! It's JUST like them to pull a stunt like this!
Cranky Doodle: Walter, you don't even know what a nihilist is...
Mayor Mare: And besides, why would a nihilist steal our pins? They don't believe in anything...! I think?
Sweetie Belle: U-Um... not to interrupt, but... can we talk about where each of you were when the bowling pins were stolen?
Cranky Doodle: Not now, li'l filly. We don't have time for yer detective games -- we've got real grown-up things to worry about!
Apple Bloom: ... I don't think talk's gonna cut it with these folks. We gotta speak their language... Let's challenge 'em to a match, so they know how serious we are!

Battle 2: School's Out for Mysteries! (Minions)

Cranky Doodle: Well, how about that! You ain't the best bowlers in Equestria, sure, but you fillies have got heart... We'll tell ya anthing you need to help solve the case.
Mayor Mare: You were asking where we were when the pins were stolen, right? Well, it always seems to happen in the early morning... but none of us would sabotage our own club!
Scootaloo: There's no way the mayor would lie... right?
Sweetie Belle: In that case... who's your biggest competition? Are there any other bowling leagues... maybe one with a big-time grudge?
Jeff Letrotski: Oh, sure, I mean there's uh... Canterlot's a big one... Cloudsdale's pretty fierce... and you can't underestimate the Dodge Junction bowlers...
Scootaloo: Lemme just jot that down, and... All right! We've got three places to start. But... how are we gonna investigate when we've got school in the morning?
Apple Bloom: Hmmm... it won't be easy, but we gotta convince Ms. Cheerilee that sleuthing is more important than a growin' pony's education! ... At least for just one day!

Apple Bloom: Sorry, Ms. Cheerilee! I promise we'll do lots and lots of make-up projects! See ya later!
Cheerilee: (Sigh...) Well, with Snips and Snails absent as well, I suppose our class will just have to be a little smaller today...
Sweetie Belle: Wait, Ms. Cheerilee has a point -- SOMEpony has to take us to Canterlot, and Cloudsdale, and Dodge Junction! I don't think we can get there by ourselves, and Rarity is pretty busy...
Scootaloo: Let's ask her, and Applejack, too! I just KNOW Rainbow Dash will be up for it -- she was just tellin' me how she was gonna visit her mom an' dad in Cloudsdale soon...
Apple Bloom: We'll never know until we ask, right? I bet all three of 'em are at the bowling tourney pre-show festival right now...!
Apple Bloom: Oof! Ack! Did bowling get more popular overnight or somethin'? Ponyville's positively packed with bowling fans! C'mon fillies, we better tussle through this crowd and convince our chaperones.

Retro Rarity: If it's in the interest of education, I'd gladly take you to Canterlot, Sweetie Belle. In any case, I've been meaning to pick up a delightful new fabric from the local boutique!
Rainbow Dash: And you already knew I was planning on visiting my folks in Cloudsdale, Scootaloo. I'll take ya along, if you want. They'd be happy to see you!
Scootaloo: Yes!!! Cutie Mark Crusaders, we're on our way!
Sweetie Belle: Let's all question our respective bowling leagues, and tell each other what we found out tomorrow!
Apple Bloom: Now that's a plan. See you soon, CMCs!
Apple Bloom: Wow, Dodge Junction's gone full blown bowl-o-rama! I'll need to sneak away from big sis Applejack and find my way to the club leaders if I'm gonna get to question 'em... Here goes nothin'!

Apple Bloom: U-Um, well... has anypony gone travelin' lately? Or maybe slacked off on practice?
Marian: Goodness, no! We've been working up a proper storm to prepare for our match against Ponyville's team. Isn't that right, fillies?
Smiley Dodge Junction Bowler: Sure 'nuff! Ponyville's the team to beat this year, and we wanna beat 'em fair an' square!
Friendly Dodge Junction Bowler: Absolutely! And if we wanna do that, there's not much time for goin' out of town, or anythin' else!
Apple Bloom: Gosh, they're all so serious... and nice, too. I don't think there's any way they'd resort to stealin' pins! I better get back to Ponyville and let Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle know...
Scootaloo: Whew! I dunno what you guys saw, but the Cloudsdale team was workin' so hard I thought I was gonna see lightning comin' out of their hooves! Lemme tell you how it went down, Apple Bloom...

Battle 6: Questioning in Canterlot (Minions)

Scootaloo: The Cloudsdale club was playin' a pickup game against some Ponyville bowlers, so I tried to see if anypony got up to anything suspicious...
Scootaloo: But Spitfire was runnin' her bowling team just like the Wonderbolts: that means no funny business!
Scootaloo: They were really serious... and really professional! I don't think they'd stoop to pin-stealing...
Apple Bloom: Sounds just like the Dodge Junction team! I guess that's good news, but now we're down two sources...
Apple Bloom: Unless... Sweetie Belle? Got anythin' to report?
Sweetie Belle: Actually, the Dodge Junction bowlers had just traveled to play against the Canterlot league, so I kept a sharp lookout too! With all the excitement, it was kinda hard to get the captain's attention...

Battle 7: The Scene of the Crime! (Minions)

Sweetie Belle: Fancypants was a little offended that I was asking questions, because, honestly, his Canterlot bowlers were just as legit as the other leagues!
Sweetie Belle: He said I should have more respect for bowling, considering that I live in the same town as the legendary Kingpin and go to school with his grandcolt...
Apple Bloom: Kingpin? There's that name again. Didn't Mr. Letrotski mention that his friend was about to beat Kingpin's record?
Scootaloo: But who's his grandcolt? Last time I checked, we don't have any bowling prodigies in Ms. Cheerilee's class...
Rarity: Ahh, are you three discussing your bowling project? Fancypants is right, you know! Kingpin's grandcolt... he's a little troublemaker named, um... Scissors? Clippers?
Sweetie Belle: Snips?! W-Wait, hasn't Snips been absent from school lately...?
Apple Bloom: That settles it! C'mon, Cutie Mark Crusaders -- let's hustle to Snips's place, on the double!

Snails: Snips... I'm currently being crushed by the mountain of bowling pins I helped you steal. I think we gotta throw in the towel...
Jeff Letrotski: Whoa...! I came runnin' when I heard the sound of a bowling pin avalanche; I guess those li'l fillies really did solve our mystery. Kingpin's gonna be pretty steamed when he--!
K.P.: Snips! What's the meaning of this?! You know how much bowling means to me... Why would you sabotage the team like this? And right when they were doing so well...!
Snips: I-I'm sorry, grandpa... I didn't mean any harm, I just-- I just didn't wanna see your record get broken. I mean, you're the legendary Kingpin! I don't want anypony to beat you...
K.P.: Oh, Snips... It's time to let that record go. No matter what, I'll always love bowling, and I'll always know my grandcolt is proud of me! That's better than any silly ol' trophy!

■ AFTER THE END OF THE EVENT


Mayor Mare: Now, please allow me to kick off the All Equestria Bowling Tourney with a warm welcome to our visiting teams, and a special acknowledgement of our own local legend...
Mayor Mare: K.P., or Kingpin, as us bowlers know him! He put our humble bowling club on the map!
K.P.: Thank you mayor, but today wouldn't be possible without a few other local heroes -- the Cutie Mark Crusaders, and... in his own special way, my dear grandcolt, Snips!
Apple Bloom: Hehe... Snips, you won't make any extra trouble today, right?
Snips: Of course not! In fact, today's all about learning tricks of the trade from Grandpa and the other bowlers. I gotta brush up so I can take Kingpin's record myself someday!
Jeff Letrotski: That's the spirit. Y'know, sometimes you eat the bugbear, and sometimes the bugbear eats you... or however that saying goes. Not that we eat bugbears. Oh wait, are we out of time--?
