Tim was in the briefing room with the rest of his Friends when Captain Jefferson started talking.

Captain Jefferson: Twilight Sparkle has some business to take care of here, but unfortunately, someone tried to assassinate the princess as she entered our town. Toby and Red spotted the suspect while out on patrol earlier.
Tim: Did the poney that tried to kill Twilight escape?
Captain Jefferson: Yes. He used magic to get out of his car. Now visiting us is Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna. They have something to tell us.
Celestia: *Walks in the room with Luna*
Ponies: *Clapping*
Celestia: Thank toi for your warm welcome.
Luna: I just wish Twilight got the same welcoming we got.
Celestia: We have been doing some research, and we believe our suspect is Brett Flasch.
Luna: He's a member of ISIS, and helped over thirty North Koreans sneak into Equestria.
Julia: This guy sounds like bad news.
Celestia: Of course he does. He fits the description Toby and Red gave of the poney they were chasing. Blue unicorn, brown mane, and orange eyes.
Captain Jefferson: I was going to tell them that.
Celestia: Oh, forgive me. Now, I do have one request. With your captain's permission, I want one of toi to watch over Twilight until Brett, ou whoever the suspect is, is captured.
Toby: *Nervous*
Tim: *Looking at Toby, and smiles*
Julia: *Smirks* I think Toby would be the best choice for this assignment Celestia.
Celestia: Thank you. Toby, please stand up.
Toby: *Stands up*
Celestia: *Walks towards him* What is your last name?
Toby: Linnehan.
Celestia: toi understand that this task is very important. Correct?
Toby: Yes ma'am, I do.
Celestia: If anything bad happens to her, it's on you, and you'll be arrested for twenty years for treason.
Toby: Celestia, toi can count on me to protect Twilight Sparkle.
Celestia: Good. Here she comes now.
Twilight: *Walks into the room* Hello everypony.
Ponies: *Clapping*
Toby: *Sweating* Hi Twilight.
Tim: *Whispers to Julia* What have toi done to him?
Julia: *Whispers back* I saw the look in his eyes.
Tim: What look?
Julia: The look of love. Can toi do me a favor?
Tim: What?
Julia: Can I come over to your house, and talk with you?
Tim: Sure.

Later that day, Tim and Julia rode to Tim's house. His house was close to the Round Freeway on the northern part of town.

Tim: *Stops in his Viper*
Julia: *Stops behind him on her motorcycle*
Tim: *Gets out of his car, and watches Julia get off her motorcycle* Let's go inside. *Walks with Julia into his house* So what do toi want to talk about?
Julia: I need help getting a Christmas Tree.
Tim: Are toi having trouble looking for one?
Julia: *Sadly nods* I really need one.
Tim: Real, ou fake?
Julia: I don't care, I just want one.
Tim: Why don't toi try Ponyville? It's just south of us.
Julia: Is that where toi got yours?
Tim: Yeah. Tomorrow, after we're off duty, I'll take toi into Ponyville, and we'll get toi a Christmas Tree. Okay?
Julia: *Happy* Okay.

Toby's house was suivant to a gunshop, across the rue from Shadow Lake.

Toby: *Parks his brand new Chrysler 200 in front of his house* Okay Princess, out we go.
Twilight: *Steps out of the car*
Toby: *Walks with Twilight to his house* Did toi enjoy the ride?
Twilight: Yes. I felt very relaxed.
Toby: Good. I bet toi your Cadillac is still better to ride in. *Opens the door for her*
Twilight: *Walks inside* Yes, but I wouldn't mind having a 200. We have 300's, but I want a car just like yours.

They sit down at a table.

Toby: So what kind of business are toi doing here?
Twilight: Business related to terrorists, and how to put an end to it.
Toby: It's about time we stopped them.
Twilight: But I'm afraid that's what caused somepony to try and shoot me earlier today, and if not, why would somepony want me dead?
Toby: That's what we're trying to find out.
Twilight: And in Canterlot, they're also trying to hurt me, because I changed Hearth's Warming Eve to Christmas.
Toby: Uh Princess, may I tell toi something?
Twilight: Yeah?
Toby: *Nervous* I, uh,.. want toi to make yourself comfortable.
Twilight: *Smirking* There's something else toi want to tell me, is there?
Toby: Would toi like to, uh... *Sweating* Go out on a rendez-vous amoureux, date sometime?
Twilight: *Giggles* Is that why toi were nervous? I'd l’amour to go out with you.
Toby: Great. Tomorrow, at 6?
Twilight: Yes.
