//------------------------------// // Time warp. // Story: Gummy's Secret Life // by WinterTwister //------------------------------// A loud crash forced Gummy from his sleep and just stared at Pinkie Pie while she rumbled through piles of supplies and costumes. "Ugh, where is it? It has to be around here somewhere... Ah-hah!" Pinkie pulled out a top hat and a pair of odd metallic goggles. She threw the top hat on her head after pulling the goggles down the the brim of her hat. "Perfect!" Pinkie smiled admiring her hat and goggles in the mirror. Gummy had woken up and started walking towards the hypnotized steampunk Pinkie. Pinkie noticed Gummy walking towards her so she turned around to pick up Gummy and gave him a hug. "Oh im sorry Gummy i have to leave again today but don't worry ill make time for you soon, be a good alligator again today okay?" Pinkie set down Gummy with a slight kiss on his head and trotted off. Gummy stood there for a moment thinking about what to do today.. but got bored of thinking and started for the door. He made it out the door when the floor in front of him gave in and he slid down a chute, after sliding for a few moments he landed softly on a plush cushion. After he landed he looked ahead and saw head-lights illuminate his vision. "Good morning agent Gummy, shall we begin on today's agenda?" Dawn Cruise rolled up to Gummy and a robotic arm pick him up and laid him in the driver's seat as more robotic arms placed a similar dinner suit as Gummy had worn last night. "Ready on your mark agent 700." Gummy wagged his tail, enjoying his elegant dinner suit. Dawn Cruise roared his engine and sped off out of the dark underground garage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A beam of sunlight hit AppleBloom's closed eyes and she gently woke up. AppleBloom saw where she was, she had fallen asleep on top of spike. She smiled as she saw Spike sleep. 'so peaceful.' She saw the sunlight reflect off of Spike's scales and saw the colors dance in the light. AppleBloom's eyes lit up at the sight and she slowly leaned forward to plant a small kiss on Spike which had awoken him in a smile. "Good morning AppleBloom." "Mornin' Spike." AppleBloom laid her head on Spike's chest and smiled in pleasure. "The way you talk is so cute AppleBloom." Spike was smiling with his eyes closed enjoying each moment with AppleBloom. AppleBloom blushed and nuzzled Spike's chest and wrapping her arms around Spike, wanting the embrace to last an eternity. Spike returned the favor and they held the embrace for several minuets until interrupted by a tiny buzz that they both had heard. "What was that?" "What was what?" AppleBloom's heart raced, she loved Spike but she had to keep her job a secret. 'why does Eye Patch always call during the worst of times...' "I heard a buzzing noise" Spike got out from under AppleBloom and sat upwards and tried to locate where the sound had come from. "Ah didn't hear nothin' AppleBloom searched the room for a clock and saw it and stared intensively at it, remembering her excuse acting training. "Oh ma gosh! I need to go help AppleJack with the mornin's work, sorry Spike." AppleBloom kissed Spike on the cheek. "See ya' later?" "Bye AppleBloom." Spike waved bye at AppleBloom as she hurried down the stairs. As soon as AppleBloom left the library she ran behind a building across the street to answer the call. She tapped the right tip of her bow and a screen popped out. "Agent AppleBloom-" Eye Patch stopped talking for a moment but continued. "Agent AppleBloom you look like you barely slept at all last-night." "Don't worry commander, ah'm well relaxed and rested for today." AppleBloom tried her hardest to not blush and luckily succeeded. Eye Patch looked at her for a moment. "Relations can be dangerous AppleBloom, I don't object but just remember to be careful. Back to business. Today you must plan your mission with Agent Gummy and Dawn Cruise, i recommend joining with them as soon as possible, we must not fail and you have alot to plan with the other agents.". "Yes sir, ah'll join with them as soon as i finish today's chores with mah big sis" AppleBloom raised her hoof to her bow. "AppleBloom. Out." She tapped her bow and the screen shut off and retracted. AppleBloom trotted back to Apple Orchards and met a scowling AppleJack that was preparing for the days work. AppleBloom wondered why she was so angry 'Didn't Spike come by the farm and help?' "AppleBloom! Where have you been?" AppleJack was looking down on AppleBloom. "Ah was playin' with mah friends yesterday and we spent the night in our clubhouse, an besides Spike told me he came by to help ya' out." AppleBloom looked away from AppleJack's prying eyes. "Wha- what are you talkin' about? Yesterday it was just me and Big Macintosh working the Orchard." AppleJack looked confused AppleBloom couldn't hide her surprise 'Did he lie to me?' AppleBloom looked up at her sister. "Don't worry ah'll make up my work today." "Alright hope you keep to your word, we can't afford to fall behind before apple-buck season, let's git to work." AppleJack playfully messed up AppleBloom's hair before walking over to the apple carts. AppleBloom worked hard that day almost doubling her quota like she promised to her sister. AppleBloom worked, worried about Spike's lie, but luckily she could still concentrate. At about 3:00 pm they had all finished and met back at the barn. "AppleBloom ah saw you work extra hard today and it just plum motivated me and Big Mac, isn't that right?" "Eeeyup." "Ah think we all deserve the day off tomorrow, well time to turn it in for today." AppleJack and Big Macintosh walked back to the Apple family house together giving each other playful pushes while AppleBloom carried herself into the barn to rest for a moment before returning to her real job. She tapped the left tip of her bow and spoke out-loud. "Call. Dawn Cruise, agent 062." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn Cruise and Gummy were enjoying a long ride together while waiting for AppleBloom, Gummy enjoyed fast cars, and Dawn Cruise enjoyed making the agents pleased with his service. "Incoming call from agent AppleBloom..... Yes understood we are on our way." Dawn Cruise went in a 'U' turn and sped to the Apple Orchard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Doctor Blast Burn we have intelligence that the spies plan to make another move on the mansion sometime today or tomorrow." An assistant said while handing the doctor a drink. "Such a pathetic agency.. they act as if they know everything but they know nothing..." Dr.Blast Burn took a deep drink. "Set the final preparations for project Liparus." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn Cruise arrived at the pick-up point. "Salutations once more agent AppleBloom" AppleBloom hopped in the passenger seat. "So whats the news?" "Well with the information you gathered from Dr.Blast Burns house Eye Patch gave us a course of action. The weapon may be complete." AppleBloom choked on air for a moment as she heard this. "What?!" "Yes we must enter Dr.Blast Burn's mansion today and attempt to sabotage it. We must plan out how we are to infiltrate the mansion undetected, find the weapon, and then disable it at all costs." "Okay, let's begin." AppleBloom was scared, but ready to defend her town and all of her friends and family.. and Spike. They talked for hours, planned to head for the mansion at midnight. They also planned the route they would take to find the weapon, or Dr.Blast Burn, AppleBloom and Dawn Cruise agreed to the plan and AppleBloom turned for Gummy's response who promptly wagged the tip of his tail enjoying the sound of them talking. There was a large flash that made them jump and AppleBloom turned around to see who it was, a mysterious stallion had appeared from the flash. "Hello agents, Dr.Hooves at your service." The brown coated stallion told them as he stepped forward. "I'm here to aid you, I am agent 1733."
