//------------------------------// // Cloaked Disposition. // Story: Gummy's Secret Life // by WinterTwister //------------------------------// Gummy was awoken by the rattling of Sugar Cube Corner, at first he thought 'earthquake' but then he tuned his hearing to what was downstairs. "-so early...." "Calm down honey I'm sure it will be fine... maybe it's the full moon?" "Maybe, I'm still worried." "Well aside from that, all of those jeeps and Humvee roaming the streets today is what really worries me, the army hasn't moved this much in years... I hope everything is alright." "I do too..." Gummy stopped listening and was hungry, he went over to Pinkie's bed to wake up his owner in hopes of his breakfast. Gummy didn't see Pinkie's normally drooped hoof and he started slowly climbing the side of the bed with his claws. Gummy reached the top of Pinkie's bed and couldn't help but feel a bit angry for all of his climbing efforts went to waste seeing as Pinkie was nowhere to be seen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AppleBloom woke up after feeling a light shake, she looked over to see if Spike was still next to her but he was nowhere to be seen. She looked around the room and remembered that she was back at the library upstairs where Spike and herself usually spent their time together, on an old lazy colt couch in front of a T.V that had a large collection of DVD's beside it. AppleBloom felt the shake more violently this time, she walked over to the window to see that several military vehicles on the move. AppleBloom felt a bit panicked for a moment and then tapped the tip of her bow to call Eye Patch. After the mini-screen popped out of her bow AppleBloom was the first to talk. "Sir whats goin' on here?" "I was just about to contact you. All of the agents are to report to the agency HQ. I'll inform you more when you arrive. Eye Patch, out." AppleBloom was really worried now. 'Did BlastBurn finish his weapon? I better hurry to the HQ...' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2 hours earlier) 'The sun hasn't come up yet..' Pinkie Pie was tip-toeing down the stairs and making her way past the counter and started heading for the door but was frozen in place from a voice behind her. It was Mrs.Cake. "Pinkie dearie, your up ear-" She stopped and looked at Pinkie's outline in the shadow. "Pinkie?" Pinkie Pie still faced the exit but said plainly. "Yes?" "Where are you going?" "Oh nowhere, I'm just on my way to a party." "This early?" "Yes Mrs.Cake. The party is going to be huge, I wouldn't want to be late to start setting up the...fireworks...." "Oh.. okay Pinkie, you have fun!" Mrs.Cake tried to put enthusiasm in her voice but failed at her attempt. Pinkie turned around with an odd smile on her face and her mane was flat. "Don't worry Mrs.Cake the fun will be so strong you will feel it from here.." Pinkie turned her head back around and trotted off into the darkness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spike woke up and was starring at AppleBloom in her sleep. Spike leaned over and kissed AppleBloom on her head and whispered. "I love you so much..". Spike slowly nudged away from AppleBloom and squinted to see the clock. 'Darn it.. I don't want to be late' Spike slowly made his way down the stairs careful not to wake up AppleBloom or Twilight. Spike opened the door and saw the darkness and a familiar figure in the darkness and smiled. "Are we all set?" The dark figure had a shining smile. "Yeah, lets get this party started." Spike slowly closed the door and walked off into the morning mist with the pony out of Ponyville.
