The Adventures of Mr. Cake: Red Velvet Hoofprints

Agent D. Hooves here, giving you your introduction to these top secret documents! No pony in equestria must know about these documents besides you and any other informants. Oh wait, first I need to say thank you for accepting to read these documents and that you are now a part of our non-prerequisite informant program! The very fact that you are marked as an informant means that you are in danger of, but not limited to, being chased by changelings, being seen as a target by our enemies, and possibly finding yourself waking up somewhere on the other side of Equestria for no apparent reason with a mission which could give you a variety of health problems. I guess I should have mentioned that before I had you read this... woops.

Anyways, you shouldn't worry, because being an informant for the royal guard is great, because you get to know stuff other ponies don't know and you get to be a part of Princess Celestia's governmental branch. Not bad, huh? Not to mention that they have free muffins on monday mornings, which taste great! Although I love muffins more than anything anyways, so I guess I could be a little biased. But if you don't like muffins, they still have plenty of other breakfast stuff, like some coffee and doughnuts and sometimes even cookies; but if you ask me, I'd go for the muffins.

Sorry, I'm getting ahead of myself. Yep, you're an informant now because we will be sending documents about... Let's see here... Agent C. You probably know him as "Mr. Cake." By the way, he makes great muffins at sugarcube corner which I always take with me when I'm off duty from working at the local post offi-

Sorry again, that's probably too much information about me.  Anyways, let's call Mr. Cake "Agent C" from now on, just for the sake of being confidentiality and stuff. You would probably never picture him as a secret agent for the royal guard, because I sure didn't at first. Apparently it had something to do with the irony and the fact that no pony would expect it. Alright, so Mr. Ca-... oh, I mean, "Agent C," has just recently been asked nicely but with a little assertiveness to be a secret agent for the royal guard, which he agreed to, and the next several documents you will be receiving will have everything about this mission he's just been on from the point of becoming a secret agent to the point of finishing his mission.

And now for your mission. Actually, it's pretty easy - all you have to do is read these documents and see what happened with Mr. Ca-... Woops, heheh, "Agent C". I've heard his story already and it's pretty fun listening to so you don't have to worry about this being boring or anything. So stay tuned, relax, grab some of your favorite muffins and give me some time to get these documents to you as soon as possible.

And if anything happens with the documents along the way, I'll just have no idea what would have went wrong, so please don't ask me.

Lets see here, I'm looking at the rest of this document and there's a ton of space for more stuff to write down, and I've got some more time on my hooves to give you some more info on all of this. I guess I can give you the lowdown on some of the stuff that has been going on with "Agent C" and how he wound up in all of this.

From what I've heard, it sounded like the royal guard had a problem with something. There was a crime scene, some hoofprints, and some really bad guy and some thugs. They were going to have just some normal secret agent go and take care of the problem, but the problem was that there was a problem with having a normal secret agent discover the problem, which would have been a big problem, and the royal guard didn't want any more problems to deal with so in order to solve the problem they decided to have someone out of nowhere, with no training, go and fix the problem. So a pony named Shining Armor, who was the captain of the royal guard, went out and started hunting around Ponyville for the one pony who would be least likely to be suspected to be a secret agent under any circumstances. But as he kept looking and looking, just about everypony in town was pretty normal and capable of being a secret agent. Shining Armor decided to call it a day, grab a cupcake and leave, so he went down to Sugarcube Corner to get one of his favorite sprinkled cupcakes. Luckily, when he was ordering, Agent C was so flustered that the captain of the royal guard himself was asking him for a cupcake that he nervously gave Shining Armor a cupcake along with a good discount on it as well. When Shining Armor saw how inconspicuous Agent C could be, he hired him on the spot.

That's the basic gist of it anyway. I left out a lot because of secrecy and all, and I only heard it second hoof, so some of may or may not be true. Besides that, that's the basic idea of how Agent C got involved with the royal guard in becoming a secret agent. The cool part about it is that no pony else in Ponyville or Equestria knows about it except you, me, Shining Armor, and some other higher ranked royal guards. At least, you are from Equestria, right? Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter; I mean, it's too late now because you're involved!

Oh, that reminds me, Shining Armor may make a couple shout outs to you informants out there from time to time in these documents, since you're involved and all. I'm not sure why or how, but that's what he's saying could happen, so that's just more motivation for me to keep you posted in case he does have something to say.

Alright, my time's just about up so I'm going to go head over to Sugarcube Corner to get my favorite snack before getting back to work with the mail.

Stay informed!
