*working title* C.O.D. and Three Would Be Ninjas


Three shadowy figures slipped around and through the stables of the Tropicana Sands being as quiet as possible not to disturb the pegasi, or worse, the guards. From one building to another they slinked, staying in the shadows, the perfect thieves it would seem, except for the fact they had no idea what they were doing. Thieves in the night they were, dressed in all black from boot to hood, dark camo paint on their faces with only the white circles around their eyes giving off any kind of color. Chris was the leader for this little jaunt and he would slip from behind one building and run to another, check that the coast is clear, and then signal Chewie and McDoodles to follow. The signal was just a wave really, they started out with a few more but Chewie kept confusing them and one time ran right into the open. Luckily no one saw him but it was just the wave signal after that. That and the constant theme song?

Dunt dunt dunt da-na dunt dunt dunt?da-na-na da-na-na da-na-na?.da-nunt?

Chris was edging towards the edge of one of the stables and peeking around. C.O.D. was still a couple of stables down the way but it was getting harder with all the guards hanging around. ?Two more guards.? They were standing with their backs to him near the front of the building.

?Two more? We are going to get busted man.? Chewie?s English was getting a lot better these days. ?What is going on with all the guards all of a sudden??

?I told ya man?? Chris looked away from the guards over to his companions for this heist. ?C.O.D. won the other day. He is big time now?I told ya that. The more important they are, the more guards they have.? That was probably wrong but sounded good. Sweeping his gaze back around the building to check on the guards, it was safe so he moved across the opening between the buildings and back into the shadows of the new wall then waved the other two over.

?Is C.O.D. really named after you, Chris?? The intern asked after he settled back down in the new spot.

?Damn right he is dog?? Chris was sliding his way down the wall to the next corner to peek around. ?My friend said she named him after me because he is brown and green, but I think it?s because she knew he would be fast?and fast he is.?

?As long as he is faster than the guards?? Chewie was now digging into one of the bags Chris had given him to carry.

?Dunt dunt dunt da-na dunt dunt dunt?? The caddy just kept going and going.

?Come on Mac.? Chris was looking at the caddy wearily. ?Do ya think ya can shut the hell up with the theme music? Ya are gonna get us busted and I think these people are like to kill us if they catch us.?

?Kill us? For real kill us?? The intern had pulled out a carrot from the bag and was looking at it oddly before holding it up. ?Why am I carrying a bag of carrots??

?Yes! Kill us and the carrots are for the pega?pega?pega?pega-freaking-horse?so don?t eat em.? Chris peeked around the corner again, no guards here, none that could be seen anyway. ?Aight, the next stable is the one we want. Wait for my signal.? Another peek then he was moving across the opening into light then back into shadow...just like a freaking ninja.
