This story is a sequel to SHMM: Fairy An-tricks

When working with others, it's important to take into account what is being brought together. Their strengths, skills, weaknesses, these are important factors that a team needs to keep in mind if they wish to achieve anything that comes their way. However, can working together accomplish something that was never fated to overcome? It's up to Truffles and a cast of other monsterponies to challenge the stars that are in favor for a phantom thief, predestined to forever be uncatchable.

This is a story similar to one you may see with 'hard-boiled' detectives, but it's meant to be a lot more lighthearted and humorous. It's a sequel, but first timers just need to know three things...

1. The world is filled with monster ponies (of various degrees).
2. The main character is a Mushroom Mare detective with poor facial muscles.
3. Keeping an open mind is the key to solving cases.

This story will be in first person (kinda), but be prepared for inner-monologues that speak in past tense. It's recommended to take your time at reading this story instead of listening to it through some text-to-audio program, especially for this entry of SHMM as there are visual cues that indicate speakers.

An unentered entry originally intended for the '3rd Monster Mare Story Contest (Mythical Creatures)', this is now a completed story being entered into the 'The Whodunnit? Youdunnit! Contest'. The prior contest gave me 8.5k words as its limit while this new one gave 20k words as its limit, so I split the difference (rounding down) and gave this story a 14k word limit... no, this bit of info has no importance.
