The Arabian Mole

I lay silently on the soft bed, watching as the morning sun filtered through the closed blinds. Birds chirped as the city continued in it's business outside. A musky scent filled the room. I looked over at Twilight, her chest rising and falling. I sighed, and wondered what it would be like to have a family. To actually have someone you legitimately care about and would give your life for. I pecked Twilight on the cheek and headed to the bathroom. I needed a shower.

                            /////

I trotted along the street to the market. A refreshing ocean breeze was in the air. As usual, the market was extremely busy. I pushed my way through the crowd. All around me, ponies were selling and buying their wares. I stopped to pick up some haybacon and a dozen eggs. As I was putting them in my bag, I spotted a bookseller. There was a locked book on the counter. I walked up and inspected it.

"Excuse me, what are you doing with a locked book?" I intrigued

The bookseller shrugged. "I'dunno. Somebody left it here overnight." I don't who's it is."

I was interested. "How much?"

"Not for sale." He countered. "I don't know who's property it is."

"20 Bits?" I offered

The bookseller looked around carefully, then smiled. "Deal"

The smells of haybacon and eggs wafted around the kitchen. Twilight trotted in, rubbing her eyes with her wings. She still smelled like last night. "Oh.... You're still here?" She said, shocked.

My heart plummeted, but I kept a straight face. "I... I just thought that could make you breakfast. It's the least I could do."

Twilight blushed, obviously sensing my disappointment. "Well, it's just that all other stallions have left before I woke up." She trotted up to me, and kissed me on the cheek. "Thank you." She whispered.

Heart restored, I got back to making breakfast. She trotted away and stood in the doorway. "I'll have breakfast after I wash myself." She smiled before continuing to the bathroom.

I still had a slight hangover from last night. Other them that, I was feeling better then I had been in years.

A few minutes later, I hummed to myself as I dished put the eggs and haybacon onto two plates.

Twilight trotted in, her mane still dripping wet from the shower. She sat down at the table with an awkward smile. I set the plate down in front of her and sat down with my own.

We sat there, just eating silently for a few minutes.

Twilight finally broke the silence. "So.... about last night...."  She began.

I sat there slowly nibbling on the bacon.

"So.... Was I any good?" She blushed and fidgeted in her seat.

Finishing my food, I picked up my plate and walked over to her. "You were perfect." I exclaimed quietly.

Looking relieved, Twilight took happy bites of her egg. Moving over to the sink, I began to wash the dishes. "I picked up a book for you at the marketplace. It has a strange lock on it." I informed.

"I'll look at it later. I have a lock picking spell." She said, still tucking into her bacon.

I continued on the dishes. After Twilight finished, she trotted up to me and Hugs my with her wings from behind.

"I don't want to go to work today." She nuzzled my neck.

"Didn't you give me an entire speech on how Equestria needs you and you can't take breaks?" I proclaimed

"But that was yesterday." She whined. "And besides, I want to spend the entire day with you." She hugged me tighter

"Fine." I sighed. Then smiled happily.  I turned around and kissed her right on the mouth. "I'm so lucky having a mare like you."

Twilight flicked her mane. "Now you're making me horny all over again" She complained jokingly.

I grinned like a madman. "Well, if you're horny, why don't we do it again?"

Twilight looked at me. "Are you serious? Then I'll have to have another shower....." She put on a mischievous smile. "Sure, why not?"

                          /////

Twilight and I lay side by side on her bed. I was feeling extremely relaxed. Based of her breathing patterns, she was too.

She looked at me lovingly. "Where did you learn to do that with you're mouth?"

"I've been around the block a few times." I exclaimed.

I got up slowly. I trotted to the bathroom, and got in the shower for a second time that day. I turned on the jet of water. The cool water was refreshing on my coat.

A few minutes later, I was drying off when I heard a screech from outside the bathroom. I blundered out, expecting something horrible. Twilight was muzzle deep in the book I had picked up from the marketplace.

"This book..." She stuttered, flipping pages frantically.

"What's wrong with the book? Is it important?"

Twilight's eye's bore into me. "Star Flame, you may have just stumbled on an invaluable war asset. One that could completely change the outcome of the war."

Twilight and I rushed down the street. Rain pattered alongside us as our hooves contacted the pavement. She explained the book to me as we went.

"The book contains... a list. A list of names." She explained, short of breath.

"Who's names?" I asked seriously

Twilight stopped, out of breath. She panted an then continued. "I need a closer inspection, but...." She paused. "I think it contains a list of saddle Arabian agents. It's not a small list either. I... I think it contains every single one of their agents currently in Equestria."

I gawked. Certainly a book that important shouldn't have been misplaced.

We sped up again. "If they find out we have the book, not just our lives, but the entire agency may be in danger." She informed.

We sped along the street. The agency came into view.

"We just have to get to the age-" She started. Before she could finish, a giant fireball erupted from where the agency once stood. Tons of debris blew up into the air as if they weighed nothing. The explosion shook the very ground we stood on. The explosive cloud took on a strange blue electric hue before every light in the area dimmed out.

"Fuck! They blew the agency! Quickly! Radio for help!" She exclaimed in a rushed, demanding tone.

I fumbled out my radio and turned the knob. Nothing. Not even static. It was as silent as death. "Radio's disabled!" I shouted to her.

"Shit! EMP Bomb!" She realized, cursing loudly.

"What do we do now?" I asked worringly.

Twilight looked into my eyes. "We have to hide." She admitted. "They will be using all the assets they have trying to kill us."
