	Pinkie sat at the table in the mostly empty rooms.  The only noticeable feature being the two way mirror to her left.  After almost an hour of sitting there doing nothing the door finally opened and a white unicorn mare with a pink mane walked in carrying a single file.

“Hi Fleur.  Can I go now I’m starving?” Pinkie complained, as her fellow agent sat down across from her.

“No Agent Pie.  We have to go over your debriefing and then if I’m satisfied you can go,” Fleur explained, opening the folder.  “Who is Spider-Mare?” she asked without showing any emotion or looking away from the file.

Pinkie’s heart skipped a beat.  “I don’t know,” she said simply, shrugging.

Fleur closed the file and looked at Pinkie.  “Our agents who arrived at the scene to pick up Cheerilee reported that they saw you conversing with Spider Mare as though you were close friends,” she said, looking Pinkie in the eye.

“Oh come on.  We fought a giant reptile together.  That’s a pretty unique experience.  Ponies bond over this kinda thing,” Pinkie said very defensively.

“Agent Pie, whether you tell us what we want to know or not, we will find out the identity of Spider-Mare,” Fleur assured.

“Good luck then,” Pinkie said looking away from Fleur.

“Fine.  In that case you are to receive disciplinary action.  Do you accept or will you cooperate?” Fleur asked tonelessly.

“Hit me with your best shot,” Pinkie challenged.

“Very well.  You are being assigned to Appleoosa.  The locals have been reporting strange weather outside of town and we need someone to make sure it is just strange weather.  You will be there for two weeks and you are to send all field reports to my office.  Is that clear?” Fleur explained.

“Crystal mam,” Pinkie replied, giving the other agent a lazy salute.  “I’d like to request a partner for the assignment.”

Fleur considered this.  “Very well.  Who would you like?”

“Agent Belle,” Pinkie said leaning back in her chair.

“I’m afraid Agent Belle is currently prepping for her own assignment.  She is being tasked to handle Rainbow Dash.  We’re curious about the details of her escape,” Fleur explained.

“No not Rarity, Sweetie,” Pinkie replied.

“She isn’t cleared for field work,” Fleur countered.

“I know, but we’re just gonna be watching weather.  I’ll show her the ropes and tell her about all the ways I’ve discovered to get punished around here.  Consider it practice,” Pinkie elaborated.

Fleur considered Pinkie’s proposal for a few minutes.  “Okay.  You are to inform her and head for Appleoosa as soon as possible,” Fleur said as she got up and walked towards the door.  “And try to abide by protocol.  I don’t want you setting a bad example for Sweetie,” she finished exiting the room.

Pinkie relaxed in her chair.  “Not a problem.  I needed a real vacation anyway.”
