The Pony Protection Agency
17) Try not to Panic
Previous ChapterNext Chapter{Hugo}
I panicked when I heard what Alex said that he had a vision about becoming the next victim of Pinkie's research. No, no Hugo, Alex is a half child. I've never heard of a half child being killed except for natural causes. Yeah, that's right. He's just panicking and I don't blame him. Actually, when I first found out I was a god I ran into that same scenario and I came out of it just fine. Not to mention, Alex is one of a kind as far as my favorite half child goes. Yeah, he'll come out of it just fine. He's not the only one that's run into things like this. Well, when you think of it he survived a fatal wound that Pinkie gave him with a gunshot so he'll pull through with this. He's also got a new ability too. So why should I be worried? There's no need to be worried…
I was snapped out of my panic when Zane tapped me on the shoulder. I smiled because for once in my life I was actually happy to see him. Zane had just gotten off from work and I filled him in on the details of what happened. He looked horrified just like how I was feeling for the time being.
"But didn't Alex survive a fatal gunshot wound to the chest?" Zane asked, "I wonder though, that might be the perfect opportunity to catch Pinkie Pie!"
I sighed and then paused to think about it. "You know something Zane? You just might be right about that. I guess we'll just have to wait and see, huh?"
Zane smiled and nodded. "Yeah, right now that's all we can do."
For some reason, this statement comforted me and I had no idea why.

{Alex}
We went back to the PPA HQ. We had the pony that got shot by a stunner bullet with us. We took her to the medical area at HQ. Once we got her to a bed, we waited for her to wake up. It wasn't until six hours later that she finally opened her eyes.
"What? Huh?" The Pony said. She groaned, "Where am I?"
"You're at PPA HQ in the medical area," I answered.
"Huh?" The Pony asked. She gave me a bewildered look, "Who are you?"
"My name is Agent Alex Shipman," I said, "Me and my partner Agent Violet Client are the ones that were sent to go find Pinkie Pie and bring her back to Equestria. She keeps escaping capture every single time we even get close to her. That stunner bullet you got hit with was meant for Pinkie and not you. I'm sorry about that."
It was then that I recognized who the pony that I'm talking to is. She's the pony that I saw in the vision I had, talking to my boss Agent Lawrence. Her name is Bon Bon.
"Wait a second!" I exclaimed, "Your name is Bon Bon isn't it?"
Bon Bon raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Yes, how did you know my name?"
I cleared my throat. "Let's just say I have certain talents that helped me track you down."
"Uh-huh." Bon Bon gave me a look of disbelief.
I turned around when I heard Simon laughing. "Yeah I know, when I first met Alex, he told me the same thing and then there was a pony in my office."
I rolled my eyes. "Anyway, I was wondering do you have any idea where Pinkie could be headed next?"
Bon Bon looked like she was racking her brain to remember where Pinkie could possibly be headed to next. Then she looked like she remembered something. "Yes, yes I know where she could be heading. For some reason Pinkie loves to live in apartment complexes that have basements in them. Probably because that's an easy way for her to hide her 'research', but it's not really research. She kills just for the thrill of it. She's been taking a liking to eating human flesh and meat along with drinking their blood."
I threw up in my mouth when I heard that. I swallowed and it kept it down to the best of my ability. Bon Bon sighed, "Yeah, I know. Pinkie becomes more of a nutcase by the day. I don't know but I think she's homesick and she started killing humans because of it."
I looked over at Twilight to see that her eyes were as wide as saucers. Bon Bon looked at Twilight and tilted her head, "Uh, who are you and what's wrong?"
Twilight gulped, "Um, Pinkie isn't killing people for the fun of it. She's killing people because that's what she did back in Equestria. I know because she tied me up and made me watch while she did the research. But every time I went back to the scene of the crime, just about everything was destroyed. There was never enough evidence to prove that there was ever any crime committed."
Bon Bon had a look of horror on her face. "Great, wonderful."
"Yeah, no kidding." I agreed.
I thought about being a victim of Pinkie's research and to tell the truth I really didn't want to find her anytime soon. But unfortunately, my vision told me that it was going to happen and it was going to happen within a week. I was hopeful that maybe I might have another vision that says otherwise.
I know what you're thinking Alex, but think of it this way, Star thought, you survived a fatal gunshot to the chest, maybe since you've decided to stay the course, this might be your opportunity for you to catch Pinkie once and for all!
Yeah, but it still doesn't tell me or Twilight about how catching Pinkie is going to happen. Just because I can recover from a wound it's not fun getting it.
I know, I understand.
As I sat there trying not to panic, I had a vision. It wasn't about Pinkie this time, it was about Twilight. She was sitting on the couch in my apartment smiling at me. Since she was in her pony form, her horn lit up and out of thin air came a small red and white box. I couldn't see what was in it and I saw her lips move and she was asking me something and I couldn't hear what it was. After that happened, the vision ended.
I opened my eyes feeling completely annoyed at the moment because every time I had a vision about Twilight I couldn't see it clearly and I don't know why.
I looked over at Twilight to see her frowning at me. "What's wrong?"
I sighed, "I had another vision but it was about you Terra. I'm annoyed at the moment because every time I have a vision about you I can't see it clearly and I have no idea why."
Bon Bon paused. "Did you say visions?"
I nodded. "Yes, visions. I can see the future and I'm not sure if the stupid visions have been helping at all. Every time we get close to capturing Pinkie, she escapes and we arrive at another dead end. I'm gonna guess because there are loopholes in the whole vision thing. I can't see past the vision unless I have another vision," I pointed at Twilight, "For some reason when I have a vision about my girlfriend here, I can't see it clearly because most of it's censored."
"Censored?" Simon asked, "You mean like when a rated R movie comes on tv and certain parts of it are blurred out because of the content in it?"
"Yup," I nodded, "That's exactly how it is."
Simon looked up at the ceiling thoughtfully and then back at me. "Well, maybe the future doesn't want you to see everything concerning her? But everyone else, the future seems to be fine with it."
"I guess." I sighed. Even with that thought, I was still frustrated by the visions I had about Twilight and I couldn't see them clearly.
"So what was the vision about?" Simon asked.
"Um, can I talk to you privately about that?" I asked.
Simon nodded, "Sure."
I went outside the room and Simon followed me. When I told Simon what the vision was about and that it was going to happen in two days, he laughed. "I think I know what this vision is about Alex. Do you wanna know what I think?"
I shook my head. "Nope. Not one little bit."
Simon chuckled, "Okay then, whatever you say."
I sat down on a chair in the waiting room next to Twilight and I buried my head in my arms. Twilight put a hand on my back and rubbed it gently. I felt a small surge of power go through me and I calmed down after that. I looked up at her and I kissed her. Our kiss turned into a make out session. I had half a mind to unzip her pants so I could have sex with her right in the waiting room and I didn't care who would be watching us at the moment. I was getting ready to do what I was thinking about doing when I heard Violet clear her throat. "You two do realize you're in a hospital waiting room right? Although, I wouldn't mind recording your sex noises."
When Twilight and I stopped making out, Twilight looked like she wanted to wring Violet's neck. This time, I wasn't about to stop her either. Violet backed up and put her hands up as if to say that she surrendered. "Okay, back up, I'm not going to do anything. I was just saying what I thought, honest I was."
"And I'm getting really sick and tired of you teasing us about our relationship!" Twilight snapped, "I have half a mind to go to your apartment stay right outside and wait for you and Abigail to have sex and record it!"
"Violet, seriously!" Abigail growled, "Again with this crap? Boy, you really can't help yourself when it comes down to Alex can you?"
Abigail then grabbed Violet by the ear and dragged her out of the waiting room. I couldn't stop my laughter at the sight even if I wanted to. Twilight was laughing pretty hard too. She stopped laughing and smiled at me. I raised an eyebrow. "Why are you smiling at me?"
"I think she's smiling because you were laughing in front of people." Simon chuckled.
I paused. "Huh?"
"Just look around Alex." Twilight said. She pointed and there were two doctors and a nurse staring at me in surprise and shock because I had laughed in front of them.
"Well I'll be damned, Agent Shipman!" said one of the doctors, "I can't believe I actually saw you laugh in front of someone!"
For some reason I found the doctor's reaction to my laughing in front of him funny. Normally I would excuse myself so I could laugh somewhere else, but Twilight's right it's about time I finally accepted reality for what it is. No one's going to discipline me for laughing in front of people. I don't plan on doing it in front of my mother anytime soon.
I guess Twilight could sense that I was afraid and that I was getting ready to excuse myself so I could laugh somewhere else; so she made me sit down and she sat on my lap.
"What is it Innocent?" I asked.
"It's because My Go Pony isn't going to excuse himself so he could go laugh somewhere else. Nope! Not happening!" Twilight declared.
I put my arms around her waist and smiled. I whispered into her ear. "Thank you Innocent."
"Awww," said Simon, "I love your pet name for Terra, Alex."
The Doctor's jaw dropped when he saw me laughing and said, "I think Terra's pet name for you, Agent Shipman, is adorable also!"
"Um, thanks Dr. Samson." I mumbled.
"So tell me Terra," said Dr. Samson, "where did you come up with Agent Shipman's pet name?"
Twilight paused, she looked unsure if she wanted to tell how she came up with my pet name. "I, um…"
Dr. Samson chuckled, "It's okay Terra, you don't have to tell me, I just think it's cute."
There was a chorus of the word 'awe' that sounded around the waiting room. I felt my cheeks turn red and buried my face in Twilight's back so no one could see or at least I thought no one was able to see it. I heard Violet laughing, "Wow Alex! Your face is red like a tomato!"
"Violet!" Abigail snapped, "Knock it off or no sex tonight!"
I snorted and then went into a fit of laughter. "As I said before, no one can control Violet. If you can Abigail, that would amaze me!"
Dr. Samson laughed at this because for as long as he's known me and Violet, he knew what I said was true.
"Hmm, Alex?" Twilight asked.
"What?" I replied.
"I just want to see something," Twilight said, "Can you show me your left hand?"
I nodded. "Okay."
She grabbed my left hand and squeezed my ring finger. I paused when Twilight did that, "What was that for?"
"Oh nothing," by the sound of Twilight's voice, I could tell she was lying, "nope, nothing at all."
I raised an eyebrow. "Uh-huh, yeah whatever you say Terra."
I looked over to see Simon try to stifle a laugh. I could tell he really wanted to tell me what my vision about Twilight might be about. I wasn't going to let him tell me because I didn't want to know.
