Bon Bon, or rather Sweetie Drops, hadn't settled down to bed with her marefriend for five minutes when her watch gave that little magical ring. A ring that meant it was time to come into the office and get debriefed on a new mission. Sweetie Drops hated leaving Lyra in the middle of the night but she swore to protect royalty and nation. So very quietly she slipped out of bed and went into the closet, pulling back the false cover to reveal the hidden room where she kept her suit and gear.



Sweetie Drops got her entire suit on without stirring Lyra awake, thankfully, and strapped on her utility belt. She then tip trotted over to the door and slowly reached for the knob. Almost there...almost there...!



-CLICK!-



The special agent felt her heart and mind take a hard stop when she suddenly heard that little click of the lamp and the room was lit up. Sweetie Drops slowly moved her eyes over her shoulder and could both see and feel the smoldering glare of her marefriend. She could see her sitting up with her legs crossed and her arms crossed. A very bad sign.



"So, where do you think you're going miss secret agent?" Lyra asked sharply.



"Um...to get you those imported oats you like so much, my love strings?" Sweetie Drops offered with a nervous smile.



"Nice try." Lyra stated and her horn glowed a lime green color as a magical force grabbed Sweetie Drops' tail and pulled her. "Now get over here. We're going to have a little talk."



"But I left a note with a bunch of x's and o's and a heart!" Sweetie Drops exclaimed in her defense as she tried to resist the strong pull but to no avail.



Needless to say no one was surprised when Sweetie Drops arrived late for the mission brief and everyone at the table grinned, knowing what the reason was.



"So Drops, did the ball and chain unshackle you before or after she yelled at you?" Agent D. Joe asked with a knowing smile.



"Buck off, Joe. Let's just get down to business." Sweetie Drops bit out as she took her seat at the table.



Oh yeah, and footnote; busted!
