//------------------------------// // Secret Agent Bunny // Story: The Adventures of Tank and Angel // by FlutterDash979797 //------------------------------// "Tank! Tank! I got news! Come on man! This is important!" Angel stormed into the living room. "What's up?" Tank bookmarked the page of his novel. "A lot more than reading, that's for sure! Hear me out," The bunny ensured his brother was in full attention. "It's something big! Super-duper important! Like, holy-shell important!" "You got my attention man." "Its..." Angel gulped several breaths of air. "It's about Gummy!" "Yeah... What's your point?" "You know his mom? That crazy one?" Tank recalled her brief encounters with the pink Earth pony. "Pinkie Pie? Good friend of mom and mama? What's the big deal?" "Well... Pinkie and that purple mare, you know the nerdy one?" "Twilight?" "Of course, they are spending time together... And Gummy wants to know why. And he needs our help." "And this would imply?" Tank attempted to bring reason into the conversation; a feat in which Angel never made easy. "He wants us to spy on them!" Angel lept in excitement. "We would make the best team ever!" "And why do you want to do this?" "Cause' it would be both fun and funny!" "Figures..." Tank pieced together the situation. I better go with. Keep those guys in line. I mean, they would do it anyway, even without me. Tank offered a fist to Angel. "I'm game." Several minutes passed as Tank and Angel prepared various forms of gear. Angel had jury-rigged a variety of contraptions while Tank only brought a pair of sunglasses and a baseball cap. "So, whaddya think Tank? Do I look ready or what?" Angel was covered head to toe in camouflaged fatigues. "Where did you get those?" Tank tried to withhold his laughter at the ridiculous sight. "I found them." "Okay..." "Hey!" Angel interrupted. "I don't see you with any camouflage! You'll totally give away our position!" "First of all, I'm green. That's about as much camouflage as possible. Second, I move really, really, slow. I think I'm fine with what I got." "You always have to ruin everything! We're spying on two mares dressed in camouflage! What could be more entertaining?" "You made that sound really creepy." Angel's palm met his forehead. "Buzzkill." Angel led his brother to the location Gummy had arranged for the trio to meet. The alligator was rested under a tree, apparently having covered his scales with camouflage paint. "Tank, Angel. Good to see you guys!" "What's up man? Are you sure about this plan and all?" Tank greeted his new friend. "Sure? Don't doubt him Tank! He's got this down!" Angel was overjoyed with eagerness. "Well... Actually, Tank, I was hoping you could help me. You are the smart one," Gummy suggested. Angel and Tank muttered the same word. "Really?" "Yeah. What... Are you surprised? I kinda always thought you were clever," Gummy complimented. "At the very least, you know more about this than I do... And I think I speak for all of..." "Stop right there! I know just as much about sneaky stuff as Tank! I'll prove it," Angel diverted the attention of the ectotherms to himself. "I'm going to sneak past! Watch, you won't even know I'm here!" Angel attempted to use the various moves he had witnessed in movies to sneak from one tree post to another. The sight was painful enough to force Tank and Gummy to withdraw their vision. "Angel... I think he's right. I better handle this." "Ugh... Fine. But I'm still leader! You are just my strategist!" Angel found himself back to his friends. "So Gummy, why do you want to do this? I mean Angel told me already, but he's not the best source for information. No offense Angel," Tank ignored his brother's shrugging. "Just give me a idea of what you want to do and we can go from there." "Well... My mom has been spending so much time with Twilight recently. I'm pretty sure they are dating but I feel like Pinkie would tell me if they are. In fact, I think she would tell everypony. And throw several parties. So I guess I'm just unsure. I hate to spy on her but I've grown tired of guessing . So that's where you guys come in." "It's going to be a blast! I've never spied on somepony before!" Angel cheered. "You are making this sound way worse than it needs to be," Gummy laughed. The tortoise interrupted the pair. "Look, let's just get to business. We don't have to "spy" on them, just maybe take a peak at them once or twice to have an idea of what they are doing. Sound good gentlemen?" An expected nod and head-shake followed. "Angel, man, you'll have your fun. I promise. Just don't take this too far. Celestia knows you always do," Tank condescended. The long-eared creature folded his arms. "I'll be fine. But I do things my way." Gummy brought the conversation back to the original topic. "I think I know where they are. She said something about a picnic." "It does make sense man. The pair like the outdoors and Pinkie would love baking some sweets for them to eat on the picnic," Tank reasoned. "But were would they picnic?" "Well... I got a good idea," Gummy guided the pair forward. "So we are so far in our book Twilight!! Wasn't I right about this? Huh? Huh huh huh huh?" Pinkie bounced. "I must say, it's been a great time! We might really have something here! I bet the princess would love to read it! It's amazing what friends can do together!" Twilight opened a fresh page of their journal. "Oh... I know! She would love the story and it's a great example of friendship! Like totally!" "It shows how contrasting personalities can really create wonderful things. It was like you said- I write well and you really have a knack for storytelling. I haven't written or even read fiction in a while; I've been busy reading textbooks and such. I had forgotten how fun it is to create; it's also a great therapy; something facts in a textbook can't do." "And we've laughed and giggled! You are an awesome friend Twilight!" Pinkie's wacky antics concealed her insecurity. "Just like you!" "Come on man... It's clear they like each other. Angel and I had this problem before," Tank pocked his head out of a bush. "Gummy I bet you they are a..." "Enough Angel! We are not playing that game again!" Tank interrupted, knowing his brother all too well. "I can't say that I'm surprised. But what does this mean for me?" Gummy asked. Tank offered assurance. "Nothing but good things. Ever since my moms moved in together my life has been getting better and better. Even with the little rascal over there." "I'm standing right here!" Angel roared. Gummy and Tank quickly hushed the crazed rabbit. "You are going to blow our cover!" The bunny shrugged. "Whatever. I am totally incognito." "Angel! Tank! Look!" Distance quickly closed between Pinkie and Twilight. The three pets eagerly awaited as the mares began to wrap their forelegs together. "Twilight?" Pinkie whispered. "Yes Pinkie?" "This is..." "Yes?" "This is totally how the characters would act in our novel! Write it down!" Gummy flailed his arms in fury. "Oh come on!" Tank quickly threw the alligator back into the concealment of the bush. "So... Why don't we write a little letter to ourselves? It's something I always used to do but never with another pony?" Twilight suggested. Pinkie bounced at the suggestion. "That sounds so much fun! And really nice too! Just like you!" "Well, we got lots to write about, that's for sure," Twilight reached for a fresh page and quill. "Dear Twilight, you have had a wonderful time hanging out with Pinkie Pie. She's a really awesome friend and she makes you laugh and smile!" "Dear Pinkie Pie, you should totally keep spending time with Twilight! She's super-duper awesome! Like super-duper-uber-crazy awesome!" Pinkie quickly hugged her friend before continuing the letter. "And I showed her that you should totally write goofy and silly stuff once and while for fun! Even if its less than perfect, you still created something! And its especially awesome when you create stuff with your friends! Twilight showed you that!" Twilight was crimson. "You know Pinkie, I think I know why you wanted to write this book with me." Pinkie's usual persona was crippled; forcing the mare to retract her brightness. "Why is that Twilight?" "I think... I'm guessing... Well... I've really liked spending time with you. And... You know what, I don't really know what to say." "I love you Twilight! Like really love you!" A tear rolled down the party pony's eye. "I'm sorry... Just sorry, forget I said it! Pretty please..." "Oh shut up and kiss me!" Twilight passionately pressed her lips against the squealing mare. "What the shell just happened?" "I guess that's all I need," Gummy laughed. "We can head back now. Thanks for your help guys." "Speaking from previous experience, try to stay out of their romance. If it's meant to be, it will happen naturally," Tank suggested. "Angel... I really wish I didn't have to say this, but you stay out as well." "I will... After this..." Angel quickly lept out the bush. "I'm going to get that piece of cake behind them!" "What? Get back here!" Tank was far too late to capture the bunny. "I've got this one!" Angel reached in the pocket of his camouflage pants and produced a iPony. The bunny quickly selected a song. "Don't ruin this! Please!" Gummy pleaded. "Stay down! Just because he's an idiot and blows his cover doesn't mean we have to!" Tank threw the alligator in the same manner as before. They think I can't sneak? Well, I'll show them! The bunny performed a unnecessary combat roll. I'm going to get something from the picnic and they totally are not going to see me! Pinkie and Twilight were snuggled closely together; apparently engaged in a soft slumber. The cake that caught Angel's eye was a few feet behind them. "Celestia... If he gets caught..." Tank whispered. "It's Twilight and Pinkie; they won't care. Plus, think about it; it will be funny." "Actually... Yeah, it will be really funny! Hey Angel, try and get caught!!" Angel ignored his brother's teasing as he crept his way towards the picnic. The bunny's attempts to remain stealthy were more reminiscent of a dance pattern than an actual sneak. There. I finally have it. And I proved them wrong. Of course! "Hey Angel! Are you listening to Secret Agent Stallion? That's a totally awesome song!" Pinkie turned her attention to the frightened pet. The cake collapsed on his feet. Holy feather. I'm in deep shell. Angel's eyes opened several inches. "Secret Agent Stallion! Secret Agent Stallion! Woo hoo! Let me see one of those earbuds you silly rabbit!" Pinkie sung. I gotta leave... Just leave... Angel backed away slowly with painful levels of awkward. "Do you want some cake Angel? We have a ton! Like a really big ton! You can totally have some; I made it myself!" The pink mare tried her best to accommodate her friend's pet. "Um... I think he just wants to leave," Twilight noticed. "That was... umm... Strange?" "Well Angel, Gummy, and Tank are over there in that bush. They've been watching us for quite a while. I guess Angel wanted some cake. Hi Gummy! Mommy's very proud of you!" Pinkie glanced at the bush. "Dude... We gotta bail!" Gummy scurried out the bush as fast as his legs would carry him. "Bail!" Tank fled towards the young night with his friends closely behind. --------------------------------- Hopefully this was funny for you guys; I promised an epic update. It's not epic, but I think it's a lot better than the last chapter. Comment please! Tell me what you like and dislike about the story! I'm fine with criticism! For this chapter (And I will edit the others later) I changed the pet's dialogue; I only italicize it when they are talking when ponies are present. Good switch or bad? Have a great day guys,
