This story is a sequel to Lunaverse: Galaxy Rangers - A Flutter of the Heart.
A Galaxy Ranger story.
Dinky is unhappy with her life. It seems every week somepony or something kidnaps her. It's embarrassing! Worse, everypony is treating her like a little foal that needs protecting and her mom is even more overprotective than usual. Dinky is sick of this and demands a change. She refuses to be known as a filly that constantly needing protecting. But how? Her luck changes when she learns a shocking secret about Bon-Bon that will change her life forever. The mild-mannered candy maker is really a secret agent! Dinky feels she must become one too! It would stop all the kidnappings for sure! Elsewhere in Ponyville, a sinister presence is gathering in Ponyville and only Dinky and her new mentor might be able to stop it.
A Lunaverse spinoff story.

If i submit story will I be able to go back and add chapters?
9262820 Yes when you submit a story you can always go in and add chapters. You can even move the order around with the little widget to the left of the chapter titles (but you have to save when you're done, which I missed the first few times I tried).
9262820
Yes, pretty much everything is editable, even the title. You can add as many chapters you want even if you mark the story as complete. You can even move around the order of the chapters is you so wish.
I would have thought that there would be at least some comics or films or something about good guy spies. Insert James Bond horse pun here.
Also Bon Bon is a brave mare, volunteering to train Dinky as a spy. Though I suppose if she plays her cards right it’ll mostly amount to a self-defense course. There’s no way Bon Bon would take Dinky on an actual assignment.
Hmm, wonder what’s going on with Applejack...I’m betting monster, somehow. Either that or something appropriate for a spy to deal with. Assassins from the Peach Consortium! Ninja assassina, of course.

I call changelings behind it

Seems likely from the end of the last chapter. I'm guessing poisoned apples of some type, possibly mind controlling.
I think there is a mistake here. How could the invasion have happened "a couple years ago" and before Dinky was born? I don't think she is less than two years old, even if ponies would grow faster than humans.

True. I guess about 12-13 years ago is a little more than "a couple years ago." I'll have to fix that one.
I still find it funny that I was off by maybe five minutes in when Dinky was going to be kidnapped.
Being kidnapped is such a drag...
Insert Futurama clip here. In fact, I think I will...

Interesting choice to go with Thorax, but it does make sense. Also I have to wonder what Chrysalis' plan here is...
I'm still curious why Dinky would get a safe room all to herself, but not the other foals, as long as there are safe rooms hanging around and a need for them.
The Everfree Forest is just a plain dangerous place. Aranaea, I’m guessing?
Also the cyclops there reminded me of the intelligent guard from Titan AE, but for the life of me I can’t find the full quote...
*Sings* No guts no glooooorrry!
(twenty internet cookies to anyone who gets the very old refrence im makeing)
I still don’t think someone who wants to eat someone else can be judged “too harshly”, especially since it’s not like Banana Peel was starving. Though that being said, this is otherwise a fun chapter. I do always love monsters who are quite up-front about their monstrousness but otherwise are rather pleasant to talk to.
Ahh the window gag. I loved it when Lunaverse writers sneak that one in. It´s a classic by now.
Dinks just cannot catch a break today.
I need to get out of the habit of dropping fun remarks in the Google Docs, as it leaves me without much to say in the comments.
Oh, here's something.
I mean, I'll grant that he's talking to Dinky, but isn't the average changeling about the same size as the average pony? Pharynx was the same size as Starlight and Trixie, anyway...then again he's probably just trying to nettle her.

I think it's suggested that Scapula is a larger than average changeling and fairly muscular so from his perspective ponies are small are weak, but them so are most Changelings as well but he's probably not keen to point that out right now.
I do wonder how Lyra escaped or otherwise avoided capture.
Fluttershy is strange. Terrified of an adult dragon, but no worries about an Ursa Major. Oddly both seem perfectly in-character for her, too.
Also good thing the apple affliction (Appliction?) doesn't leave its victims with their full faculties, else Bon Bon might have ways of making ponies eat apples without realizing it.
Hopefully Chryssy herself didn’t explode.

Same, hope it's like Twilight and all those important villains that get destroyed in battle but are still alive afterwards but heavily weaken in the PR series. Maybe they can knock some sense into Chrysalis then.
Like I said, I like this epilogue more than the original one. Dinky wasn’t really doing much secret-agenting in this, but she was making a whole ton of friends, so it feels more natural.
Very nice!
I made a slight error. Bon-Bon's boss's name is Apple Crème, not Strawberry Crème. She's a character that showed up in Anniversary of True Love. Not sure how I made this mistake. Oops.
I love you Trix
I really do.
But
your taste in food combinations...
Funny. My OC lives in the South (West) Luna Ocean.
And what a predicament.
Dinky gonna meet The Blanks
Wooooo! Congrats Dinky!
