The Adventures of Tank and Angel

by FlutterDash979797


A New Life

"Come on Tank! Rise and shine! Big day ahead of us!" Tank awoke to Rainbow Dash scurrying through her cloud home.

Ugh... Alright... Ready to go. Tank was never a morning tortoise.

"It's been two years Tank! I can't believe it! But Fluttershy and I are both ready. And I'm sure you can't wait to move in with Angel!" Dash scurried several small bags of personal items outside.

This early? Ugh... Right behind you mom. Tank dug his way out of a sea of blankets and awaited orders from his caretaker. She was busy organizing saddlebags.

"Well, most of the stuff is already there. You got your flight goggles and propeller ready? We'll have breakfast at Fluttershy's. She's making a big one for everypony who helps us out."

Yeah... I guess so. When we get to Fluttershy's, I'm going to sleep... Tank climbed abroad the kitchen table. It was an easy move for Dash; Derpy Hooves had purchased the cloud-home. Fluttershy's cottage was properly furnished, so all Rainbow needed to pack was personal items.

"Well... We got one hour left. I can't say that I'm not too sad though... As long as you're with me pal, I'm at home!" Dash bro-hoofed the sleepy tortoise. "Plus, when I've been spending weeks over at Fluttershy's, you know it makes sense."

Despite his morning crank, Tank was genuinely excited for the move. It wasn't related to the living conditions; the tortoise could care less about such things. He knew that the move would be a great transition for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash as a couple; it would solidify their relationship to something more than just "marefriends". The tortoise couldn't imagine the proper words to describe them; however, his best guess was "partners". He abandoned his thoughts as his propeller powered up.

"Alright, ready champ?" Dash spread her muscular wings and waited patiently for her pet.

The magic in the propeller ignited, levitating the tortoise several feet above the air. Let's go man! Dash's pace was hindered by the saddlebags, yet her powerful wing-power kept her speed still above average. Tank carefully followed; he always preferred that Dash would lead. Celestia's sun kept the air pleasantly warm during the calm spring day. Tank, being ectothermic, loved the warm spring air; each little burst of heat giving him a spark of energy.

The pair approached Fluttershy's house; a few select ponies were scurrying outside. Applejack appeared to be leading the group; directing them to move various items and personal belonging, while not skipping on various heavy-lifting tasks herself.

"Dashie! It's awesome to see you! I thought afterwards, we could have a house-warming party!" Pinkie still managed to bounce while carrying several saddlebags.

"There she is; mare of the hour! How yah doing Rainbow? Bet yer' real excited for the move! We're here to help yah' out!" Applejack trotted over and shook Rainbow's hoof.

"Yeah! You bet it! Where's Fluttershy?" Rainbow removed her saddlebags and surveyed the area.

"Right here sweetie!" Fluttershy quickly engulfed Rainbow with her hooves and began a series of passionate kisses.The rest of the ponies, clearly adapted to the presence of their lovestruck friends, continued their usual tasks.

"Oh Shy', I'm so excited! It just feels so right, you know what I mean!" Dash broke the kiss; feeling obligated to help the moving process.

"Yes... And we're so lucky to have all of our friends helping us today! We should get going!"

"That's just what I was thinking! Then, we can enjoy ourselves later. Tank, you can head on in and go see Angel!" Dash nudged the tortoise inside.

"Alright, let's get going! AJ, you're in charge! Show us the way!" Dash clapped her hooves together, clearly excited for a day of rewarding work.


Tank crept along Fluttershy's cottage, greeting every creature that he passed. Every time he slept over at the cottage; he felt like he was part of a true family. He came to acknowledge Fluttershy as his other mother; though Dash often tried her best, Fluttershy had a caring and nurturing side that Rainbow lacked.

"Tank... I never thought this day would come. How's it going, you old tortoise!" Angel lept towards the tortoise and offered his fist.

"Good to see you bro. What's up?" Tank quickly bumped the bunny's tiny fist.

"So in order to celebrate tonight, I got all three Daring Do movies. I also convinced Fluttershy to stock the fridge with energy drinks. Bro-time tonight?"

"Bro-time!" Tank began his secrete handshake with the bunny.


"Alright, looks like everything is where it needs to be. Y'all look like yer' set. Easy move, huh?" Applejack toured the house.

"Yeah, I don't need much. Fluttershy's got it all. Thanks for your help everypony!" Rainbow Dash gathered the group in the kitchen.

"Breakfast is all ready to go girls! Just like Rainbow said, we can't thank you enough!" Fluttershy began to set plates of various foods on the kitchen table.

"Oh, it wasn't a problem darling! We're your friend; we know that you would do the same. Now, let's dine! The meal looks absolutely delightful!" Rarity carefully sat on her seat and arranged her utensils. Rarity wasn't lying; Fluttershy had prepared a massive breakfast containing crepes, waffles, eggs from the chicken coup, several different types of fruits and vegetables, along with fresh orange juice. Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy displayed careful manners, while the other three simply dug in after a hard morning of work.

"So Rainbow and Fluttershy, you will have to let me know what it feels like to move in together. I'm sure I could write down some things to the princess," Twilight began to load a crepe with whipped creme and sugar.

"Well, I hate to break it to you Twilight, but we've pretty much been living together for a while. I never used my cloud-home. She's just too awesome not to be without!" Rainbow swigged down a glass of orange juice.

"Well, now it's like totally formal! Party-formal! We're having a party here tonight! I'm totally going to invite everypony! And guess what? I'll bring Gummy! I'm sure he'll love Tank and Angel! We'll have the biggest, best time ever!" Pinkie ate whipped cream with a spoon.

"Oh Pinkie, I'm not sure this lovely couple wants their new house trashed. Perhaps we could have it somewhere else?" Rarity suggested.

"Oh no, it's okay. I can't imagine why it wouldn't be. A party sounds really nice! Right Dashie?" Futtershy turned to her love.

"Hay yeah! I can't think of any other ponies I'd rather spend it with!" Rainbow said.

"Then it's official! Pony and pet party tonight!"


"Really? You mean Dash bought a Ponystation 3?" Angel bounced in a manner similar to Pinkie Pie.

"Yeah... She got us it as a gift. This is going to be awesome man!" Tank unboxed the gaming console. "Okay... You know how to hook these things up?"

"I think so... Hey Tank? guess what?" The bunny closed in next to the TV, carrying a variety of cords. "We are going to have so much fun! We can watch movies on this thing... Play games! I have a feeling though that something not from this world will determine which ones though..."

"What?"

"Oh, nothing. Anyways, I can't wait. This is going to be a great life. Now put in a game! I'm going to kick your flank!"

"You haven't even hooked it up, you dummy! Come on man, chill. We'll get to play soon enough."


For several hours, the new brothers played a variety of games and watched old movies. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy tweaked various details of the house to their personal tastes. Afterwards, both ponies made their way up to the bedroom, hoping to take quick nap together before the party. "Ugh... Long morning. And it sounds like we're going to have a long night! But in a good way! We'll need our rest, that's for sure. Come here Shy'," Rainbow crashed onto the bed and made room for her love.

"I know! But I am looking forward to it! Plus, it gives me a reason to snuggle with you," Fluttershy dove into the warmth of Dash.

"Yeah... Can you imagine this every night? This is like, so awesome! I love you so much Fluttershy. I am so happy we are taking this step together."

"I think if I could pick my favorite moments with you, it would be snuggling," Fluttershy pecked her cheek. "This is going to be wonderful... Every moment we spend together. I love you too Dashie." A loud noise impacted the downstairs wall. "What was that?" Fluttershy lifted her head up.

"Oh, that's just your... our bunny trashing a 50 bit controller cause' he lost to Tank. Not a big deal. Come here, silly. I'm tired and I need a pillow!"

Hey everypony! I know this is a short read right now, but I will spend a lot more time on the events to come, such as the party. I got some really great ideas for writing Gummy as a character. Stay tuned!

To all who have read my previous story, this will be short, silly, and usually just for laughs. I'm planning on writing much more FlutterDash; both cannon and not cannon to my previous story. I love Tank and Angel though, so I felt like I had to continue their story somehow. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it! Expect a lot more from this story in the future. Right now is just a really simple beginning. But aren't those just the best?
