Yo, everypony! :coolshades:

This is Princess Zephyrina Storm here! At least, that's what my mother, Queen Haven, always told me to say when giving a proper introduction as both a princess and the future ruler of Zephyr Heights.

Please, call me Zipp, and I hope that all of you have been keeping cool and having a great July, so far. :pinkiehappy:

Even though I love flying, trying out aerial maneuvers in the sky, or on the ground when skating, it's always good to take a break and try to beat the heat with something cool. 

One such cool thing is a smoothie from Sunny's smoothie cart. Especially my favorite flavor of Peanut Butter and Banana. :twilightsmile:

However, another alternative that's fitting for the month is ice cream!

With so many different flavors to choose from, you can both keep cool and enjoy a delicious treat. ^_^ 

Which is why I discussed a plan with Sunny and our friends to celebrate National Ice Cream Month!

We gathered a few of the top ice cream flavors to be stored safely in Sunny's Smoothie cart. This way, when the time comes, everyone can order a smoothie or an ice cream cone. :))

That, or if someone is really daring, they can have a special ice cream milkshake to try out.

It took all of us a few days to collect, with a huge help from Violet and the other Auroricorns in Starlight Ridge. :fluttershy:

*As Zipp heads towards the cart, she notices that the cart has been left open.*

Huh? That's weird. I don't recall the smoothie cart being opened before. Even Sunny was here a moment ago, and she asked me to keep watch of the cart, while she went to go get more cups and cones. :huh_sunny:

*As she inspected the cart more, Zipp noticed that the ice cream flavors they were preparing were missing.*

Uh, oh! All of the ice cream is gone! :blink:

Thankfully, the crystal snow from Starlight Ridge is cold enough to keep the ice cream from melting quickly, but who could have taken them? Not only that, but why? :pout:

*While Zipp had used her X-Ray goggles, she noticed a note hidden behind the smoothie cart.*

A note? Maybe there's some clue as to where we can find the missing ice cream flavor. :izzy-oooh:

**Each week, a new clue will help you find your missing flavors and toppings. If you can find them all by the end of the month, then you shall receive your ice cream. Just make sure to find them all in time, or the heat of the sun will cause them to melt.**

It looks like we have a case of missing ice cream on our hooves. It's up to my detective skills, as well as everypony's help to solve this case! :derpy-salute:

I have the clues, but it's just like what the letter said. We must go by each week to try and find the missing flavors. Here's the first clue:

"To find the Vanilla, it's Pinkie that you should meet,

in the episode special of ice cream that you can eat on the special day of the week."

I wonder where that place could be? :dash:

If anyone can find the flavors, be sure to send me, @Zipp Storm, a DM. Don't forget to work together if anypony is stuck. 

Good luck and remember to do your best in the search, everypony! :smiles:

Hey Zephyrina, is the vanilla in the "FiM Shorts: Sundae, Sundae, Sundae" thread of the forums?

Hmm...that sounds like a good place to start. :izzy-oooh:

Given that it's named after what some consider a treat involving ice cream. :pout:

It's still uncertain as this ice cream could be anywhere along the forums, but perhaps it's our best place to begin. :fluttershy:

If you find anything, don't forget to send me any findings in a DM. :))

Missing Ice Cream? 

Hmmmmm

I'm not a detective but a Lawyer has to do some sleuthing if he or she is to ever win a case.

Plus this frozen fiasco reminds me of that awful war...

Don't worry @Zipp Storm Lawyer Slip is on the case!

Thank you so much for your help on this investigation, @Lawyer Slip! :coco:

You can't ever go wrong with strength in numbers. :grin:

With all of us working together with finding clues and finding this ice cream, we'll find out what's going on in no time! :fluttershy:

Speaking of ice cream, a week has gone by. Which means that it's time to read the next clue! :izzy-oooh:

2. "To find the Strawberry and sprinkles, you don't need cash nor a single bit.

Look to the profile, while counting, having fun and you'll surely find it."

It looks like we have to find the strawberry, but I wonder what this means. :ooh:

If anyone is able to find the next flavor, be sure to send me, @Zipp Storm, a DM. :)) 

Keep up the great work and keep doing your best in the search, everypony! :proud:

What up, my Pippsqueaks!? :D 

This is Pipp Petals, coming at you live with an all new update on this mystery! :)) 

My sister, Zipp, is still hard at work trying to solve this mystery! :0

I also see that she's getting help and she really appreciates every and all's teamwork and cooperation! :coco:

Since she's still looking around to find any sort of clues, I wanted to help my sister out in any way that I could. ^_^ 

With my sis finding another riddle, she asked if I could help reveal this clue to everyone, including my Pippsqueaks! :pinkie:

This was such a task I knew I couldn't pass up as I know my Pippsqueaks and I are on the case! :grin:

Here's what the clue says:

To find the chocolate, cold and sweet.

With Marshmallow fluff, a hidden treat.

Follow the trail, take careful notice.

And seek the pink-winged Pegasus.

I wonder what this clue means or where we will find both the chocolate ice cream and marshmallows. :dash:

This sounds like a delicious Sweet Treat and this mystery has been really EXCITING~! :eager:

If you manage to find the location of both, be sure to let my sister, @Zipp Storm know in a DM! :fluttershy:

Keep up the great work and don't give up, everypony! :pinkiesmile:

is it fine once all riddles have been announced too send all 4 locations in one DM? Because I'm waiting, otherwise I screwed this one up already:muffins:

That's more than fine, @Deae Rising Shine~! :grin:

My sister, Zipp, had mentioned that anytime you find a flavor, you're more than welcome to send her a DM. :) 

If you decide to wait until you find all the flavors and toppings, then that's more than okay, as well! ^_^ 

Just don't forget to work together and if you find anything, be sure to send my sister a message. :coco:

Yo, everypony!

I hope that the ice cream search has been going well for everypony. 

I've been on the search for any clues to help us find all of the missing flavors.

I want to give a big thank you to my sister, @Pipp Petals, for helping out on the third ridde.

Along with spreading to word to everypony, as well her Pippsqueaks.

With another week going by, the time has come for another clue to be read!

"I'm not a meal, but I sure do please, with swirls of cream and cookie flecks with ease.

You won't find me on a dinner plate, but where you share your recent fate.

Scroll through bites both old and new, the last you ate might lead to a clue."

I wonder where this location could be and what this riddle is leading to?

*As Zipp double checks the note from front to back, she notices that no clues are left to be read*

It looks like this is the final clue. Which means that we've almost found all of the flavors!

I'm still uncertain on who had hidden the ice cream, but finding every flavor will lead us to the answer!

If anyone is able to find the final flavor, be sure to send me, @Zipp Storm, a DM.

Along with all of the flavors and toppings that you've all managed to find, so far.

Submissions of answers will last until next Tuesday, August 5th.

Keep up the amazing work and don't give up, everypony!

Ok... I'm going to be honest... I USED CHATGPT TO HELP ME WITH THIS RIDDLE!:rarity-whine: I know, I'm ashamed too. I'm not going to tell you what it said, but I'll give you a hint; it has to do with food and updates.
