What in Equestria is going on?! I dunno why the police are here... but it looks like Trixie might be in the middle of it!

• Trixie is recommended to reach level 11 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

(After beating this stage boss.)

Rarity: Trixie... are you okay? Why are the police here -- and what happened to that lovely diamond?

Trixie: Ah hah ha! Trixie is FINE -- because her cunning plan has succeeded!

Officer Trotter: The truth is, ladies... Trixie has been helping the Manehattan police! The most notorious thief in Equestria, Rough Diamond, has been stealing every jewel in the city...

Trixie: And now she's finally taken the bait, by stealing the "Ostlerheimer Diamond" that I used in the show... which is a FAKE! The REAL diamond is safe in the stage director's office--

Manehattan Policemare: Officer Trotter! Somepony broke into the stage director's office! The director gave us the combination to the safe, so we could check on the diamond... But it was GONE!

Trixie: That-- that THIEF! She stole the REAL diamond when we were all distracted! Trixie will hunt her down and--

Officer Trotter: Hold on, Trixie... I added a tracking chip to the real diamond... and the tracking spell points to it being hidden under YOUR hat!

Officer Trotter: Trixie, it's plain to see that YOU pulled the trick here. And you'd need accomplices to do it, wouldn't you? Ladies... I think you'd better all come with us--

Trixie: NO! I-- I mean... It's another trick! The thief must have planted the diamond in my-- Um... SMOKE BOMB!!!

What's going on? Did Trixie steal the diamond? Why is she bringing everypony on the run with her?

• Trixie is recommended to reach level 18 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

(After beating this stage boss.)

Fluttershy: Um. W-what just happened...?

Applejack: Trixie threw a smoke bomb at the cops... And pulled us out the theater window... And onto the F Train to Hooflyn. Which sure makes it LOOK like we're escapin' with her...

Trixie: No, wait! I'm not trying to escape! I mean, I AM... but I didn't steal the diamond! Please, believe me! I'm... I'm trying SO hard to be good...

Applejack: Then there's only one thing we can do. If the police think TRIXIE'S the thief... then we gotta catch the REAL thief! We know Rough Diamond got the diamond under Trixie's hat, somehow...

Fluttershy: ... So she musta been in the theater -- in disguise! But there were WAY too many ponies there to check... Maybe we oughta try figuring out what she's stealing next, instead?

Babs Seed: Wait... Trixie, that scrap of paper in your mane... it's part of the map for the Manehattan Museum of Art! Rough Diamond must have lost it while she snuck the diamond under your hat!

Rarity: Then her next target must be in the Museum! Let's head there right away -- but stay covert! We ARE technically wanted criminals, after all...

• Trixie is recommended to reach level 33 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

(After beating this stage boss.)

Apple Bloom: Finally... We made it to the jewelry wing! Hmm... Now, if I was gonna steal something, what would I--

Fluttershy: Look! There, in that display case! The Forehoof Pendant... And the map piece we found in Trixie's mane said "Oof Ant"!

Trixie: EUREKA! THIS must be Rough Diamond's next target -- and WE can stop her!!

Rarity: SSSHH! Not so loud! If we really want to find out who Rough Diamond is, we'll need to be both quiet AND thorough in our investigation... I've got an idea for where to go next!

The Diamond District...? Wonder what Rarity plans to search for there?

• Trixie is recommended to reach level 49 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

(After beating this stage boss.)

Rarity: If Rough Diamond's sold any of the jewels she's stolen, maybe one of the salesponies in this store will remember her... Oh! Like those gems, there!

Applejack: You mean those're stolen goods? In that case... Hey, you! Salespony! Git over here! Where'd you get these gems?!

Kind Salespony: THESE gems? Well, uh... I'm not...

Rarity: Applejack, please! Let me show the PROPER way to acquire information from a witness... (AHEM--) All right, pipsqueak, who sold you the jewels? Give us a name or you're history, punk!

Kind Salespony: Okay, okay! I-I don't know who she was! Sh-she came by last week, with a bag of gems to sell... But it was dark and she was wearing a cloak, so I couldn't see anything.

Kind Salespony: Wait... Actually, I DID see her cutie mark, just for a second! It was a diamond!

Rarity: ROUGH DIAMOND!!! It has to be! Well, thank you for your help, kind salespony! Now please call the police and let them know that these jewels are stolen! But don't mention us! Ta!

Kind Salespony: Um... Okay?

Trixie: All right! If Rough Diamond is going to steal the Forehoof Pendant from the museum... then the Great and Powerful Trixie -- and her friends -- will sneak in tonight and CATCH HER IN THE ACT!

Great! Trixie and everypony have snuck into the museum without the police catching on... Wait. Oh, NO--

• Trixie is recommended to reach level 65 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

(After beating this stage boss.)

Officer Trotter: FREEZE! NOPONY MOVE! Good thing we've added extra security to all your likely targets, Trixie... We've got you red-hoofed!

Trixie: B-but... it wasn't ME! It was--

Wait, WHAT?! Officer Fluffles is Rough Diamond? I mean-- Rough Diamond is Officer Fluffles?! I'M SO CONFUSED!

• Trixie is recommended to reach level 81 on both pieces to beat this boss (given that no helpers are active).

(After beating this stage boss.)

Rough Diamond: Th-this is crazy! Let me go!!!

Babs Seed: Nuh-uh! Since you're police, you could snuck in early and sabotaged Trixie's show... Then, when everypony was distracted, you stole the fake diamond from Trixie!

Officer Trotter: Hmm... But what about the REAL diamond? It was in the director's safe -- so if you're right, how did she crack the safe?

Babs Seed: She didn't HAVE to! The director told her the combination when the police were searching his office... And "Officer Fluffles" swiped the diamond while we were distracted!

Babs Seed: I figured it out because of her Cutie Mark... It looks a little strange, doesn't it? That's because it's painted over her REAL Cutie Mark -- a diamond!

Rough Diamond: You darned do-gooders! I'll get you for this! I swear! ROUGH DIAMOND WILL RETURN!!!

• Trixie doesn't glow during the bonus round.

(When this limited-time siege ended)

Officer Trotter: I can't believe Rough Diamond was hiding under all our noses the whole time... And Trixie, I'm so sorry we suspected you.

Trixie: Don't apologize. You did what you thought was right. And you, Miss Seed... thank you. You reminded me that we don't have to be bad forever. Everypony deserves a second chance.

Babs Seed: Yeah! Us former baddies hafta stick together! And now that you're free and clear... I think you've got a show to finish!

Trixie: Indeed! And THIS time... everything will disappear when it's supposed to!
