You collided with the mare as you went around the corner, both of you letting out a surprised gasp. You knew for certain this wasn't Princess Twilight, judging from her appearance and what you had been told this must be Starlight Glimmer, Twilight's other assistant! For a brief moment you were worried, having remembered stories about her old, quite nasty self, but she had been reformed now! Surely that was all behind her, she was supposed to be kind now. You put on your best smile and apologize, trying to explain the situation as easily as you can. "Oh sorry about that! I'm Peppermint Swirl, I tried the door but there was no answer so I-"
Before you could explain further, Starlight had overcome the surprise of bumping into a random pony in the castle and cut you off. "You think you can just let yourself into the castle like that?" She asked, eyeing you suspiciously. You were about to speak up, but she suddenly realized the room you had exited from. "Wait a second... You just came out of our archive room, that is a very restricted area of the castle! You're what tripped the alarm spell!" She narrowed her eyes at you, her demeanor shifting to a very threatening one. "What were you doing in there? There are ancient, priceless scrolls and spells in there!"
"I- umm but.. I just-" You stammered, unable to speak properly as she pressed towards you, backing you up against a wall. You always really sucked when put under pressure like this, you tried to find the best way to explain despite it all. "I just let myself in... to see Princess Twilight, I'm-"
"Oh! To see Twilight! Right...." She rolled her eyes. "If you wanted to see her, you would have waited for an answer at the front door like any good, law abiding pony would. You broke into a highly restricted area, filled with priceless spells! Are you one of those criminals who steals ancient texts and spells and sells them off? Or perhaps you wanted them for yourself?" She glared as you gulped, this was turning out so very, very badly...
"No! I just need to see Princess Twilight I-"
"Enough! I am putting you under arrest!" Starlight snapped as she cast a spell, binding your legs with a magical rope that left you completely immobile. "Twilight's gone for a bit, but I can handle you while she is gone. You *will* tell me everything... Twilight mentioned a black market for rare spells, is that who you're working for?!" She asked, though not even giving you a chance to respond as she enveloped you with her magic and brought you down a flight of stairs, to the dungeon of the castle. You were getting more worried by the second, and every attempt to speak was a stammering mess of words. If you could just get Twilight, she could explain everything! Starlight seemed very dedicated to her job, and you were quite frightened at what she would do to what she thought was a spell thief that broke into the castle. You were brought into a room and put behind a table while Starlight looked at you from the other side. "Now, tell me. Why did you break into the archive room?" She glared at you with a stern look, her blue eyes completely fixed on you. Just as you were about to speak up...
