06/01/11(Wed)03:01 No.26433494Snails sat half reclined in his seat. The sun was beating down through the windshield, a real scorcher today. Snips sat in the passenger seat hunched down, his cap pulled down over his eyes. Lazy bastard, granted not much was going on. this stretch of highway was usually abandoned, probably why they were always stationed here. They weren't bad cops, they just had a habit of...escalating things. So, as punishment, they got to stare at an empty stretch of road for 12 hours a day.
Snails stretched and magicked himself a donut from the box on the dash. He took a bit and chewed. After a moment, his ear perked up. What was that? Looking up and down the highway, nothing could be seen. He pulled out his radar and checked it. Off. Another moment passed, and again he heard something. Closer this time, a squeal followed by a heavy thrum. Closer still. He let a smirk cross his lips and nudged Snips. "I think we have a live one."
Snips awoke with a start and looked out his window, his ears alert. The sound grew louder still. "Oooh, sounds like a real challenger this time. they must be a mile off yet." Snails started the cruiser and waited. The roar of the closing vehicle grew louder and louder.
In a flash, a red convertible shot by them followed by a cloud of dust. Snails stomped on the gas, the rear tires kicking up rocks and dust as the cruiser took off down the highway.
The cruiser gained easily, Snails kept pace while Snips got on the megaphone. "This is the Equestria Highway Patrol, pull your vehicle over." The driver looked back for a second. Blue fur, rainbow haired, and a pair of reflective aviator sunglasses. The pink one in the passenger seat seemed to laugh and toss something over her shoulder.
The cupcake splattered across the windshield, sprinkles and frosting obscuring their vision. Snips and Snails looked at eachother win a childish grin.
"Time to go to work!" they said in unison, Snails flooring the accelerator. |
