‘Scruffy? What happened?’ Spike asked as I listened to Angel laughing outside of the bag.
‘Well, I’m trapped in a bag for one.’ the sack was suddenly picked up off the ground and I felt myself moving very fast, ‘Now I’m being carried somewhere.’
‘Carried? How is Angel carr-’
‘... Spike?’ I asked after a few seconds of silence, ‘Hello? Can you hear me?’
...
‘Well crap, must of reached the range limit.’ I thought sourly as I tried to get comfortable in the bag. I didn't think for even a second that Angel was a part of whatever plan was in the works for the elements, so really I had no idea for why the bunny would suddenly kitty-nap me.
The occasional sounds of wings flapping and the rush of cool air through the bag made me realize that I was being flown somewhere. Unless Angel could fly, and I’m pretty sure he can’t, he had to have friends helping him. That would mean that he has rallied some number of animals to try and... and...
I let out a sigh as it became apparent that I couldn’t think of any reason Angel would steal not only my ice cream but me as well. Of course there was always the possibility that Angel has gone crazy, but that smirk on his face when he turned the corner made me disregard that possibility.
“Hey cat!” I heard Angel’s annoying voice from somewhere above me, “Remember yesterday when I told you to let Fluttershy give you a check up or else?”
I blinked a couple of times in confusion, ‘Was that only yesterday? Wow a lot has happened since then... Is he waiting for me to answer or...?’
After a few more seconds I felt the rushing air stop, “Well this is that ‘or else’ I was talking about.”
There was a sudden feeling of myself being weightless before I felt the ground rush up and greet me. It didn’t really hurt, but it was annoying and would of actually hurt me if I didn’t have my magic.
"Goodbye Scruffy!" Angel’s annoying voice called to me as I felt a small bump from whatever surface I was resting on, "Be sure to send a postcard!"
‘I foresee revenge in my near future.’ I thought with a grin as a sound reached me through the bag. A couple of voices all talking with each other, but I couldn’t make anything out. After a couple of seconds of listening to the voices, and determining that they weren’t near me, I pulled out one claw on my right paw.
I quick slash later and I was out of the bag and looking around my new surroundings. I was in the back of a cart moving away from Ponyville with a family of three talking at the front of the cart. They were talking about somewhere called Vanhoover, but I didn’t stick around to hear anything as I jumped out of the cart and on to the dirt road.
My eyes scanned the sky, looking for any sign of Angel or any bird that was flying away from me. After a while I gave up the search and started running back towards Ponyville, ‘This isn’t over Angel, not by a long shot.’ my eyes narrowed as I tried to think of a suitable punishment or hilarious prank.
It was that line of thinking that took up most of my trip back to town. The road was completely empty leading to a pretty uneventful trip, giving me plenty of time to think of something...
...
Anything really would work...
...
‘I got nothin.’ I finally conceded as I got to the edge of town. With a sigh I started to look around at the few shops that were around hoping to have a stroke of inspiration.
The closest was some kind of fast food place that made me think of feeding Angel to a wild animal, but I didn’t want to actually hurt him. A music store was the next thing I saw and for some reason I got an idea to use a fog horn to scare him to death in the middle of the night, but then I’d have to deal with all the other animals at Fluttershy’s too.
I was about to just go and ask Spike for ideas when I heard something. The sounds of laughter drew my attention down the street where a filly and colt seemed to be having a water balloon fight.
‘... Now there’s an idea.’ I thought as I smirked and took off down the road. Water balloons were safe and I knew that Angel hated being wet. I smirked as I thought of how Angel would react.
If I was going to start a water balloon fight though, I should prepare for a war. That meant a lot of balloons, a good source of water, and a giant slingshot if I could find one. Though I could do without, that last one it would make it a lot easier to completely bombard Angel.
Now the only question was where do I lure Angel to in order to ambush him? I couldn’t bring him to the tree castle, the guards would see us. Can’t just attack him at the cottage either as he not only has back up, but it would be on his home turf. It needed to be somewhere with a lot of open space, but a lot of hiding spots too...
I thought about such a place as I made my way back towards the tree castle. The only reason I knew where that was is because I could see the top of it in the distance. It was going to take a while to get back.
Weaving through hooves and the occasional cart I was able to make it from alley to alley, saving a little bit of time. Along the way I kept thinking about just how shocked Angel is going to be when I show up tomorrow and smack him in the face with a balloon full of the coldest water I could get.
An evil little smile crept across my muzzle, ‘I’ll show him exactly who he’s messing with.’
I am completely prepared for angel to get dyed pink with colored water from a water balloon. Or brown.
Wait... So, Angel's a jerk... because he's being overprotective of Fluttershy?
Don't get me wrong, he's still a jerk, but that's my favorite Angel.
And here I was worried it was going to involve the trio of new villains.
6451191 He's not being protective. Just being a dick because Scruffy didn't got an appointment. What part of that is Angel being overprotective?
6451230
Yes, and rejecting Fluttershy's treatment is well... a rejection. Of her kindness. What if Fluttershy takes it hard? What if she has to go out of her way and Scruffy is giving her trouble? Even if Fluttershy isn't inconvenienced, it's an insult to refuse the care of the kindest mare in the world.
But I doubt Fluttershy is taking it hard, going to a lot of trouble, or is insulted. That's why Angel's being overprotective. And still a jerk.
6451282 She will be alright. Correction: Angel is a phallus or Dick. Definitely not a jerk.
REVENGE
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
6451285 Angel is a huge dick.
Muahahha... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! YES NOW I WANT TO SEE HIM GET IS REVENGE MUAHAHAHAHAHA! FUCK YOU ANGEL!
6451182 that would be hilarious
Also, I believe this is relevant to this chapter.
http://www.fimfiction.net/story/236839/1/red-meat/red-meat
6451298 You are very correct.
Or you could just eat him.
Angel: H- HOW DID YOU GET BACK... so fast?
Scruffy: ... Long answer or short answer?
Angel: I have places to be, so short.
Scruffy: I'm not a regular kitten- *extends rock-slicing claw and sharpens it on a nearby stone, slicing it in half* -And we really don't want to be enemies. I understand you could go and pull some shenanigans, but day before yesterday I fought a fifty foot tall killer spider queen for the safety of Ponyville.
Angel: I didn't hear about any giant spiders.
Scruffy: That's because I won (Well, WE won, but he doesn't need to know that).
Angel: Let's say I don't believe you.
Scruffy: And let's say we review this rock... The one that wasn't in two pieces when this conversation started.
Angel: Okay... You think that's going to scare me?
Scruffy: Intimidate at best, at worst, lend credit to my claim. Look, I don't want to say I'm threatening you, but you're the one coming after me. Keep it up and I'll be forced to fight back. And as the rock shows, that will end poorly for you. So before this gets ugly, I'd rather we both acknowledge to be working on the same side and help each other out, rather than undermine each other for petty gain.
Angel: And how can I trust that?
Scruffy: Do you look like this rock yet?
Angel: Point. I... guess I can go with it. Deal?
Scruffy: Deal. Oh, and angel?
Angel: What?
*SPLASH*
Angel: O_O
Scruffy: I owed you.
6451537 YES THIS IS PURRFECT AUTHOR PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN
Angel, you are in for it now. You have no idea who you just made a real enemy of.
This is going to be hilarious, and I can't wait for it!
Also, as you probably got used to by now, one small slip of grammar:
"must of reached" - must have reached
6452614 Seconded!
6451282
But Fluttershy couldn't possibly make Scruffy sad by forcing her schedule onto his. He'll come in for his checkup when he has the time, I'm sure of it!
6451537
I want to add this so badly, but I can't. Scruffy is keeping the knowledge of his powers under wraps until absolutely necessary. It's just something that always got to me any time I read other fan fictions. You'd have this character that has a secret, but ends up telling it to damn near everyone only a few chapters later.
While telling Angel and forcing him to stay silent would be an easy way to stop hostilities, Angel would inevitably tell Fluttershy anyway and she would tell everypony else... Hell, I think I'm stretching it just keeping the CMC quiet! So I'm sorry I can't incorporate this scene, but I do love it I wish I could.
6451537
6453323
6453426
Yeah, all these points make a lot of sense, Scruffy will come in for a checkup when he needs to, plus he has to keep StarSwirl's magic under wraps for now, and there's no telling if Fluttershy can figure out that Scruffy has magic from her checkups, not to mention he's Spike's pet, and that has to be Spike's responsibility in a sense, being his "owner" and all... So how Angel could be acting out like that, it's also plausible that he's using Scruffy to get to Spike, so maybe he might learn to be more "responsible" for his pet, though quite frankly, I think Spike is actually more mature than the producers make him look like in the show *spits*... But yeah, Angel is a bit of a pain, and needs to be taught a lesson about his behaviour....I can't tell if it's because he's spoiled, or because he believes that he's being stifled because of Fluttershy's tendencies, but I doubt Fluttershy's the overprotective type...
Scruffy: Oh, yeah, and Angel, you still owe Spike and me some ice-cream....
6451182 Yeah, that would be kinda cool to see, too... Or maybe black, because he's a jerk so ponies would see his "true colors" so to speak...
Why do I have the feeling that Scruffy's revenge is not going to go the way he wants?
Has it occured to anyone that by now Spike has gone to Fluttershy and told her what happened and brought Twilight into this demanding Angel either returns Scruffy or Fluttershy will have to pay for her pet's action. I mean by the time Scruffy get's to the castle, Angel should be so far up to his ears in shit that he'll need a water balloon attack to get clean.
6455571 What i don't understand is why do they treat spike as a baby when he is only a few years younger than Twilight? Also spike needs more fics centered around him.
Maybe he should just kill and eat angel?
Just a thought. It would get rid of angel and evidence of him getting rid of angel. As long as he washes up properly though too.
6453426 You could always change it to be less revealing of his powers. I could help with that too if needed.
Also, I just noticed this was last updated over two weeks ago.......MORE!!! XD
But silliness aside, I feel that this is a great story and even thought it has had huge gaps between updates, even from the start, I've been hooked, and I still check regularly for updates which is not something every story does to me. Now, on ways to improve, there are a few grammatical errors and a few things that could be described better. I recommend having an editor at hand always, (Having more than one normally fixes all the mistakes,) and maybe re-reading it a few more times to catch any errors.
Sorry, got a little.... carried away. I had a point to make.... Oh yeah! This is an amazing story and I feel like it has great potential!
Well done!

There's a couple of pictures at the start of the next episode that show spike caring for him and eventually giving him back to his parents. It was only shown for a couple of seconds, so a lot of people either missed it or just forgot after seeing it.
I'm caught up. Now i have to wait.
Just before launching the water balloon--the cat gives it a shot of cold just enough to turn it to slush
...And right when it got good too.

One fucking year XD

Wow it doesn't feel like it's been a whole year... I am so sorry, this will be fixed soon.
7587417 Thanks :D
7877898
Update?
7587417
Another frick frackin' year gone by! Not cool.
Honesty Angel deserves more than just water balloons.

Considering he just... Catnapped "sorry couldn't help myself" Scruffy. Maybe oh I don't know put angel on a silver platter for that gryphon "brother" that was mentioned. Tied up of course.
Wow, Scruffy is being remarkably chill about being kidnapped, stuffed in a sack and having his ice cream stolen
