//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: I Spy, Pinkie Spy // Story: Bring Your Friendship Game On! // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// A week later, Sun and her friends are at school studying, and doing other school related stuff, but today, they know something is different. They just finish their second period class, and meet each other at the cafeteria. Sun, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata are sitting at their usual table. However, they can tell two of their friends are not here today. Sonata eats her snack as she asks, "Hey guys have you seen Rainbow, I hadn't seen her in gym class today?" The girls reply no, and shake their heads meaning no, they haven't seen Rainbow today Then Sun says, "Actually, I haven't seen her in History class either," "Now that you mention it, I didn't see Pinkie in math," Applejack replies. "Or English," Adagio adds. Then Rarity asks, "Where can they be?" "Yeah, it's like they're not at the school or something," Aria bluntly replies. The girls start to think of where Rainbow and Pinkie are. If they're not at school, then where else can they be. Sun is the most curious about it. She knows that Rainbow and Pinkie should be here, unless they have a reason for not being here. Just then, she remember something what Rainbow and Pinkie says, while she's checking out some books from the library. Sun flashbacks her mind to when she's is trying to find some books for a school project, and to have studying gear for the Friendship Games. She takes a book out of the shelf to see Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie talking to each other. Sun hears Pinkie happily shouts, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, that sounds so much fun!" Rainbow comes very mouth and whispers, "You need to be quiet." Then Ms. Cheerilee appears, and says, "Shuh!" After that Ms. Cheerilee leaves so she can continue putting books away. When she's gone Rainbow takes her hand from Pinkie's mouth, so she can talk quietly. "I know you're excited, but you need to be quiet," Rainbow quietly says. Then Pinkie quietly says, "So what's the plan?" "Tomorrow, while everyone at the school, we're going to keep an eye on the competition for the Friendship Games. We're going to find as much information as possible," Rainbow whispers. Pinkie nods her head with a smile. Then Rainbow quietly says, "And you can't tell anyone, not even the girls. They'll try to convince us not to. Can you Pinkie Promise on that?" "Pinkie nods her head, "Yep" The Pinkie says as she does the promise, quietly, "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." Rainbow smiles as she says, "I never get tired of that." As the two leave, unaware that Sun has been listening, Sun is rather curious on what secret activity that they can be doing that they have to Pinkie promise not to tell. After the flashback in Sun's mind, she starts to think about what Rainbow and Pinkie can be up to. She then starts to put the clues together, and wonder what they can be doing. Just then, Sun realizes what Rainbow and Pinkie are up to, and it's not good at all. Sun turns to the girls and says, "I think I know where they are," "Where?" the girls ask. "It's only a hunch, but I need to go check this out myself," Sun says. Sun then gets up and is going to head where she thinks Rainbow and Pinkie are. Before she leaves, she turns to the girls and says, "If I'm not back until lunch, call me on my cellphone." "Right," the girls reply, agreeing to the information. With that, Sun leaves the school and wait for the bus at the other side of the street. When the bus shows up, she pay the money, and sits on the seat. She starts to worry on what her friends are getting themselves into, and hope she can talk them out of it. Sun says in her thoughts, "If those two are thinking what I think they're doing, I need to stop them before they get themselves into big trouble." Sun watches through the window of the bus as she waits for her destination. Sometime later, the bus stops at Crystal Prep Academy, and Sun gets off the bus meaning this is her destination. Now all she has to do is find her friends and fast. At the field at the back of Crystal Prep, the students along with their P.E teacher are in their class. The teacher blows the whistle and the students start with their jog. As they are doing their class, Rainbow Dash comes out from the top of the tree as she watch the students. Rainbow makes a smirk on her face, as she quietly says, "Crystal Prep High School, the competition." Rainbow then start using ninja tricks from the trees to the bushes. As she does that, she spies the students and make sure she is not been seen. As she hides from the bushes, she can see the students working hard on their training. Just then a chipper yet familiar voice loudly shouts, "Hey Rainbow!" Rainbow yelps to hear the bush talking. She look to see that it's Pinkie Pie, wearing a green bush like wig. Rainbow scaredly asks, "What are you doing?!" Just then Sun comes out of the bush, and says, "There you two are." "Sun!" The two exclaims in shock. Then the three hide in the bushes as sht students run by. Rainbow asks, "What are you doing here?" "What am I doing here, what are you two doing spying on the students from Crystal Prep Academy?" Sun firmly asks. Pinkie and Rainbow are kind of stunned about it, and they have made sure not to say it to anyone. Pinkie asks, "How you know that?" "I heard you two talking yesterday, and when you two hadn't showed up in class, I kind of have an idea what is going on, so I came here to get you two out of here." Sun explains. Rainbow protests, and says, "Come on Sun, we need to be prepared for the Friendship Games." "I don't think spying on them is preparing. Plus this can get you two into so much trouble," Sun remarks. "But Sun, being a spy is so much fun!" Pinkie replies with a smile. Then Pinkie asks, "Wanna see what else I have?!" "Do tell?" Sun bluntly asks. Pinkie then zooms really quickly. The next thing Rainbow and Sun know it, they both see Pinkie in a black jumpsuit. "Cat burglar!" Pinkie says. She then launches a grappling hook into to a tree. Then climbs back down. She grabs a mask that is like Spike, and says, "Dog burglar!" She puts the mask on her face and starts digging in the ground. Then Pinkie changes into a tree suit, and replies, "Tree!" Next Pinkie hops in a rabbit suit, as she says, "Bunny suit!" "Camouflage!" Pinkie lastly screams wearing a pink army outfit. However, pink is not the best way camouflage yourself into your surroundings. "That's the exact opposite of camouflage, Pinkie," Sun replies. Rainbow turns to see someone coming and quietly shouts, "Quick, get down!" Rainbow grabs Sun and Pinkie into one of the big trees. As they hide in the trees, the students of the school are still running. Luckily they are not seen by the students, but still need to be quiet. Sun turns to the girls and asks with concern, "Can we get out of here before you two get us caught?" "No way, we need to get a better view on them," Rainbow protests as she look through the bushes. The next thing Rainbow and Sun know, they are being lifted up into the air. They both look down to see that they are being carried by a bunch of balloons with Pinkie tied up at the bottom of the strings. "Best view in the house!" Pinkie cheerfully replies. As they are being lifted up in the air, they are being exposed and can see the students doing their push ups. Rainbow thinks fast by popping all of the balloon. However, the three fall back into the bushes. The coach hears the crash and look over to see no one is there, so he continue to do his job. A balloon floats up from the bushes, but Rainbow grabs in and deflates it. Pinkie sniffs at Rainbow after she deflates the balloon, and happily says in a loud voice, "You smell like vanilla!" Rainbow then covers Pinkie's mouth so she will be quiet. Sun turns to Rainbow and firmly asks, "Now are we ready to get back to school?" "Come on Sun, we need to spy on them to know what we're up against," Rainbow quietly protests. But Sun says, "But Rainbow, I really don't think the students will appreciate you spying on them. They're not going to be happy about this. "Sun, we need to do this so we can know more about our competition," Rainbow says. She then turns to Pinkie and says, "And Pinkie, we trying to eavesdrop, that means they don't hear us." "Ooh, I have just the thing," Pinkie happily replies. A few minutes later, the students of Crystal Prep are doing sit ups in partners. Pinkie is still hiding in the bush with Rainbow and Sun. She uses a large microphone with a large stand to hear the students. With a headset and a volume box, she is trying to see if she can see them Rainbow shockley explains, "What are you doing?!" "Rainbow, you need calm down," Sun whispers to Rainbow. However, Rainbow is not listening to Sun at all. She comes over to Pinkie as she angrily says, "We're trying to spy on them, do you even know what the word spy means?!" Sun comes over and worriedly says in a quiet done, "Rainbow." "It means to be sneaky, it means not being seen," Rainbow angrily shouts at Pinkie. Sun scaredly says, "Rainbow." "It means… be quiet!" Rainbow screams as loud as her lunges can take. Sun then covers Rainbow's mouth so she will stop shouting, but it's too late for it now. Rainbow and Sun look to see that the students and the coach is staring at them. Sun takes her mouth off of Rainbow and the both look very sheepish. The two friends, and the coach and students stare at each other. The P.E Teacher questionably asks, "Uh, can I help you?" Sun and Rainbow sheepishly smiles at the students and the coache. They have no clue what to say from them or an excuse for that matter. "Bush to Dash, code red, you have been spotted," Pinkie says acting like a secret agent in the bushes. Pinkie then grabs the bush and screams, "Run!" Then like a cartoon character, Pinkie zooms off while carrying the bush with her. Rainbow Dash runs right after her. Sun however, stays behind as she see her friends running away. The coach and students of Crystal Prep are just as confused as they can get, they can also see that one is still here. Sun rolls her eyes, and says, "Oh brother." Sun feels kind of annoyed that her friends haven't listened to her, and now they have been caught. Sun wonder why she isn't running away with the others, but feels that she should set this straight before there's any more problems. Just then a familiar voice calls out as she asks, "Sun, is that you?" Sun look over to the group of students to see one of them is walking towards them. Sun is kind of surprised to see her friend Twilight Sparkle is in the class right now. Sun waves her hand with a smile and says, "Hey Twilight." "Hi Sun, what are you doing here, and who were those two girls you were with?" Twilight asks. Sun groans with annoyance, and answers, "Those two are my friends, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Trust me, you don't wanna know the reason why we're here." "It can't be that bad, and I think we kind of deserve an explanation as why you three interrupted our class," Twilight replies. Sun looks to see that Twilight, teacher, and the other students are curious to know what's going on. "You really wanna know?" Sun asks with a straight look. Everyone including Twilight nods their head, meaning they want to know what's going on. Sun sighs and says, "Okay, but trust me, you are going to think it's ridiculous." At that moment, Sun starts to explain to Twilight and the others on what Rainbow and Pinkie are up to and what's Sun is trying to do. Hearing the story, they can tell that Sun is trying to stop Rainbow and Pinkie from spying on them, but it hasn't worked very well and their little mission hasn't worked either. Then the bell rings meaning that their course is over for, so Twilight decides to take Sun to the cafeteria for lunch, so they can hang out, and Sun happily agrees to it.
