The Pony Protection Agency

{Pinkie Pie}

It was early in the morning when I heard a knock on the door. At first, I wanted to ignore it, but then I heard the familiar sound of my friend Bon Bon's voice. Since we were masquerading as human beings, we had cover names just like all the other ponies that would come over here from Equestria. However, I didn't come over in the legal way. I just wanted to come and see what Earth was like. But I didn't want to have to go through the hassle of filling out all of that stupid paperwork. So, I just came on over to Earth. I knew for a fact that the PPA would be sending agents after me because I came over here without filling out the paperwork to be here. I chose my own cover name as Roxy, and my friend Bon Bon's cover name is Sally.

"Roxy! It's Sally!" Bon Bon said, "I need to talk to you about something important. Are you in there?"

"Fine," I said, "I'm coming!"

Now, in order for us ponies to hide in plain sight among the humans, we have to wear a magic necklace that transforms us into humans. Unfortunately, that means we have to wear human clothing. I hate human clothing! But anyway, I grabbed my necklace and put it on so I could answer the door. I let Bon Bon into the apartment where I was staying for the time being. Once I let her in and closed the door, I took my magic necklace off and my human clothing disappeared when I did. Bon Bon did the same thing.

"I hate being turned into a human, don't you?" I growled.

Bon Bon completely overlooked my complaining, because she looked frantic. "I've just received word from our informant in the PPA that they've sent agents after you! And you'll never believe who they sent with them!"

"Who?" I asked.

"They sent Princess Twilight, who is under the codename, Terra." Bon Bon said.

I gasped, "Why would they send Twilight after me?"

"Well for starters, you're an element of harmony bearer, duh!" Bon Bon said.

I rolled my eyes, "Great, now what?"

"Don't know," said Bon Bon, "you might want to consider staying inside your apartment more?"

I looked down at the floor because I knew that might not be possible. "I don't know if I can, because I just found a place that's called a bar. Its name is the Watering Hole."

Bon Bon doubled over in laughter, "Oh Pinkie, do you really think that's a good place to go to at this time? Or are you that much of an alcoholic? I know what bars are and yeah I've been to one of them a couple of times."

"Well, it's just that there's so much to explore here than in Equestria!" I said.

"You really should think about returning so you won't be sitting in an Equestrian dungeon for the rest of your life," Bon Bon said.

I rolled my eyes to show my annoyance. "Yeah, that's not going to happen. Anyway, I'm out of here."

I grabbed my necklace and put it on.

"Where do you think you're going?" Bon Bon said.

"I'm going to the Watering Hole," I said, "You wanna come?"

Bon Bon groaned, "No thanks, I'm good. See ya around. Just don't get caught, okay?"

BonBon put her necklace back on and we parted ways as I went to go to the Watering Hole for some drinks.

{Alex}

As I looked through the file I had been given on Pinkie Pie, I could tell by the look on Princess Twilight's face that she was very anxious about going to go catch Pinkie Pie.

"So Alex," said Princess Twilight, "how do we go about catching my rule-breaking friend?"

"I don't know yet," I said. I looked through the file one more time and it said where Pinkie Pie's last location was. It was at a bar called the Watering Hole. It also said that it was possible that her other location was at an apartment on the outskirts of the town where the bar was. I looked at Princess Twilight to see that she was giving me funny looks.

I raised an eyebrow, "Why are you giving me that look, Terra?"

"Oh don't mind me," said Princess Twilight, "I'm just doing some research."

"Research on what?" I asked.

"Well you see, Alex," Princess Twilight explained, "I figured since the male part of the human race is so funny looking and different from the female part of the human race, that it's worth observing you in your natural habitat."

I looked over to see Violet was busy stifling a laugh and I knew she put Princess Twilight up to this. I glared at Violet to show my annoyance. I narrowed my eyes at Violet after I glared at her. "What did you say to Terra, Violet?"

"I didn't tell her anything!" Violet said defensively.

"Uh-huh, yeah, well the papers say that Pinkie Pie's last location was at a bar called the Watering Hole," I said.

Princess Twilight tilted her head, "The Watering Hole? That's a bar?"

I nodded, "Yeah."

Princess Twilight giggled, "Well I guess that makes sense, Pinkie Pie is also an alcoholic. Applejack sells a drink called Apple Cider in the Fall season. It's an alcoholic beverage. We have a nonalcoholic version of it for kids."

I bit my tongue to keep myself from laughing at the fact that a famous party planner in Equestria would also be an alcoholic. Princess Twilight smiled, "Yes, yes I know. But to tell the truth, nopony can figure out that nut, Pinkie Pie. I mean, ponies have actually had heart attacks trying to figure her out."

I felt my laughter was going to come out at full speed, so I excused myself so I could get out of the earshot of Princess Twilight and Violet. When I came back, Violet rolled her eyes. "Seriously Alex, you know you can laugh in front of people right?"

I ignored Violet and she continued, "Anyway, let's go get our vehicles."

"Uh, vehicles?" Princess Twilight asked.

"It's individual transportation for people so they can get from place to place easier," Violet explained.

I was curious to see how Princess Twilight would react to seeing our vehicles for the first time. We went to the hanger where the vehicles were at. There was a young man at the desk named Eric, he preferred to go by his nickname, Monkey. It's a long story on how he got it.

"Hey Monkey," I said, "How's it going?"

Eric smiled, "Oh nothing much, just working on updating the vehicles to suit the PPA's needs."

"Okay, what do you have for us today?" I said.

Before Eric went to the vault to get our vehicles, he paused when he spotted Princess Twilight in human form standing next to us. I looked at Princess Twilight to see she was clearly uncomfortable with the look Eric was giving her. "Now who is this pretty lady? Let me guess, another girlfriend for Alex over here?"

I groaned, "You know I already have a girlfriend, and I don't do that type of stuff Monkey! Since you want to know so badly, this is Terra. She'll be helping us capture the pony we're after this time."

Eric started looking at Princess Twilight like he was examining her or something. "I know that type of look when I see it. You're a pony in disguise, aren't you Terra?"

"That's none of your business!" Princess Twilight snapped.

Eric smirked, "Okay fine, I don't want to know who you are anyway. Unless we're dating. It's a custom for those that aren't on the assignment with you to not know who you actually are."

Eric went into the vault and pulled out two boxes with the names Agent Shipman and Agent Client on them. "Here you go, one standard flyer for Alex, and one standard motor for Violet."

Princess Twilight looked at the boxes, "These are your vehicles? Interesting."

"There's more to this Terra," Violet laughed.

"Oh," Princess Twilight responded.

Violet and I put our boxes on the ground and pressed the red button on them. As soon as we did that, the boxes unfolded themselves. What came out of mine was a motorcycle that had wings on it. What came out of Violet's box was a regular motorcycle. Both of our motorcycles had an extra back seat to carry a passenger with us if need be.

"Man, I wish I had a notebook and quill!" Princess Twilight said. She was clearly excited about what she was seeing.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because that's what I use to write down my findings in my observations, duh!" Princess Twilight said.

I couldn't help but think of how cute Princess Twilight's reaction was to our vehicles.

"Well, I guess I'll just have to make mental notes in my head," Princess Twilight said.

Eric looked at me and pointed at Princess Twilight, "She's an interesting one isn't she?"

"Yeah, you know it's not nice to point at someone Monkey," I snapped, "She's not an animal in the zoo."

Princess Twilight tilted her head at Eric, "Um, why do you go by Monkey? You sure don't look like a Monkey."

Eric snorted. "Yeah, I know. Uh, it's a long story."

"Oh, okay," Princess Twilight said.

"So, Terra," I said, "which motorcycle do you want to ride?"

Princess Twilight looked back and forth between mine and Violet's bike. I had a feeling she might want to ride on mine even though she doesn't know mine can fly yet. She pointed at my motorcycle, "Yours has wings on it, Alex, does it fly?"

"Yeah it does," I said, " and I can make it invisible so no one can see it."

"Cool!" Princess Twilight said, with excitement, "Although I know what it's like to fly, I've never ridden on something like that before! So I would like to ride on yours, Alex. If that's okay with Violet."

Violet chuckled, "You don't have to ask for permission on which bike you can ride on Terra. It's fine."

Great, of course, Princess Twilight wants to ride on my motorcycle. I thought.

Violet looked at me and started laughing. I would've told her to stop laughing, but that would just make her laugh even harder. I motioned for Princess Twilight to hop on the backseat of my bike and I got on the driver's seat.

"Make sure you hang on to me so you don't fall off, okay?" I said.

"Sure thing!" Princess Twilight responded.

With that, we left to go start our assignment to catch Pinkie Pie.

* * *

On the way to the Watering Hole, I decided to make a pit stop at a place called 'The Eye', and no it's not an eye doctor's office. It's actually a shop where a Psychic works who can predict the future and sells various other things. I decided to stop there, not because I want her to see the future for me, but because her visions can provide a roadmap to point us in the direction of where Pinkie Pie actually is.

As soon as I landed my bike on the ground in the parking lot, I put the wings on it and turned off invisible mode. Violet pulled up behind me moments later. I loved Princess Twilight's reaction to riding on a motorcycle that could actually fly.

"That was so cool!" Princess Twilight cheered, "Being able to fly without your wings is awesome!"

Princess Twilight paused when she saw where we landed with a puzzled look on her face. We didn't even have to knock on the door when the seer opened it up for us.

"You saw us coming didn't you?" I asked.

The Seer rolled her eyes, "Well duh! It's so nice to see you again."

The Seer looked at Princess Twilight and smiled. "Do you remember meeting me over two hundred and fifty years ago?"

Princess Twilight shook her head, "No, I would've been a filly back then. I don't remember you. Do you know who I am?"

The Seer nodded, "I remember you, you're the one I saw becoming an Alicorn in the future when you were younger. Princess Celestia was the one that brought you to me to see your future. So tell me, are you Princess Twilight?"

Princess Twilight's jaw dropped and she nodded. The Seer laughed as Princess Twilight looked at her in shock.

"Now, I know you're here for me to help you track down Pinkie Pie. But I do believe that Alex here has the tools necessary for that also," The Seer said casually.

This statement startled me, "Excuse… Me?"

The Seer smiled, "Uh-huh, you Alex, are a new upcoming seer. Trust me, I saw it with the last vision I had, so I figured I'd let you know Alex."

"Now that's a load of shit!" I exclaimed.

"A load of shit, huh?" The Seer said. "Have you had any dreams, that when you wake up they come true in a day or two?"

I searched my memory and I remembered having a dream about meeting Princess Luna a day before Violet and I met her. I didn't think anything of it at first. Then the dream came true. My eyes went wide in terror and I guess the look on my face said it all because the Seer started laughing at me.

"I don't see anything funny about this Ms. Seer!" I snapped.

"Oh yeah, it's hilarious actually," the Seer said, "because you know it's true, don't you? I'm getting ready to be two hundred and ninety years old soon. I only have ten more years left in this life. So the torch needs to be passed on. It looks like it's going to be passed on to you."

My jaw dropped, "Why me?"

The Seer shrugged, "I don't know. Alex, that's just the way things are. The Seer before me told me what I was going to become. Just like I'm telling you what you will become."

"Wow, Alex," said Violet, "no wonder why people are attracted to you! Not only are you handsome, but you're also pretty talented too. You're all that and a bag of chips, huh Alex?"

I glared at Violet, "Don't go getting any ideas on who to set me up with. I already have a girlfriend. Thank you very much."

Violet rolled her eyes, "I still have no idea why you're with that witch."

The Seer chuckled, "Speaking of that, I did see something in your future happen between you and Princess Twilight, Alex."

I didn't want to know what she saw in my future, so I didn't say a word. The Seer said, "Pinkie Pie's at the Watering Hole ten miles away from here. Alex, you'll be able to recognize the signs because I know you've already had a vision about it. I saw it in your future, duh!"

"Ah, okay?" I said. Once again, I searched my memory and the seer was absolutely right. I knew what the Watering Hole looked like and where it was.

"Judging by the look on your face, you know what I'm talking about don't you?" The Seer said.

I nodded, "I do, I hate to say this, but you're right."

"Well, since Alex is the new seer now, there's nothing I need to do here," The Seer said, "So long you guys, this is goodbye."

Violet, Princess Twilight, and I said our goodbyes and headed to go catch Pinkie Pie.
