Agent Meltie Gets Captured!

It was a bright, beautiful day in South Pole City, and light snow swept across the streets and sidewalks, but Agent Meltie, Rocket, Phineas34720, Ferb90210, Lexi, and Katie weren't in the beautiful, clean, city, they were all walking along the cavernous, deserted alleyways, where snow and rain never hit.

Today, there was a brutal heat wave, with the temperatures surging into the high nineties, with no relief in sight. RS stopped and pulled off her pack. She yanked a jumbo water bottle out of the front flap and began to mindlessly chug it. "It's nearly a batrillion degrees out here! Why did we even wander into the alleyways? Out in the open, we have ice, and snow, and indoor plumbing..."

Lexi yanked the water bottle out of her friend's flipper and took a sip. "I don't know about you, but..." She pulled off her shirt. Luckily, there was an undershirt underneath. "I'm so sweaty!"

Agent Meltie fanned herself with her flipper. "Where are we even going?" As soon as she finished the sentence, she came across an uncovered manhole, and fell into it, landing in a cave filled with jewels. She gasped, stood up, and looked around madly to see how many gems there were. Ten, fifty, one hundred! She then mentally did some math to figure out how many wonderful coins she could earn by finding these. A smile stretched across her beak, and she ran towards the left wall to snagged a few, but was stopped by a tall, Old Blue penguin wearing a vest. ONLY a vest. Agent immediately dropped the jewels from her blazer's pockets and ran towards the middle of the cave, where a large, empty cart was.

"How you get here?!" he asked. "Your disguise was perfect, I could have sworn you were a member of the Peridot Penguins!"

Agent Meltie was too startled to respond. She looked around at the gems again. "But these aren't peridots...some are emeralds, and rubies, and diamonds, and OOO! Topaz!" She ran towards the walls again to spot the yellow jewel, but was stopped by the gray penguin.

"Nuh-uh-uh. These are for our gang. Speaking of that, we only used 'peridot' because we couldn't find anything else that started with a 'p' for 'penguin'. So, even though you can't find any of those, it's just a name. No big deal, really."

Agent scratched her head, while three other penguins wearing only vests came out. One was orange and fat, and the other was brown and slim. Both of them only wore vests.

"Why is she here?" the brown penguin asked. He shot a rude glare at the Emoguin, who returned it with a smile.

The Old Blue penguin (his name was Hunter) replied to his friend. "She, uh, this young lady is here to assist us." He gestured at Agent, who was a lot shorter than him by comparison. AM blinked, and scoffed:

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?! I WILL NOT ASSIST YOU SLOBS!! YOU CAN FIND GEMS FOR YOURSELF BECAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH A POINTLESS HOBBY BECAUSE GEMS DON'T MATTER, AND THE MONEY DOESN'T MATTER, AND YOU GUYS DON'T MATTER, AND EVERYTHING DOESN'T MATTER, AND THIS PLACE SMELLS LIKE CRAP! SINCE WHEN HAS ANYONE DOWN HERE BATHED?!"

Rih stormed off through the exit of the cave, but Hunter caught up to her and pulled her by her hair (making her slap him repeatedly) and strapped her to an empty cart, fastening the attachment on the cart painfully tight. Agent squealed, and began to crawl in pain. "Ow, ow!" Tears stung in her eyes as she tried to carry the cart. Although it was empty, it was quite heavy.

Hunter smiled. "That's more like it. Now, mush, penguin!"

Rih pulled herself up, despite the cart weighing down on her vertebrae. "No. I simply refuse unless I am treated with the respect I deserve."

The fat, orange bird (his name was Connor) rolled his eyes. "Fine. We do what you want so you can do what we want you to do."

It only took the Peridots seven hours to give Agent Meltie everything she ever wanted. A throne made from pure sapphires, a glass of Diet Fizz Masters, a flipper rub, and a flipicure. They even managed to find her icePhone, and turn on her favorite song.

"This soda's hardly fizzy, but I guess it'll have to do." Agent sighed dramatically as she sipped the drink, being cautious of her wet flippers.

"Okay, you got your throne, your drink, I rubbed your putrid flippers, are you going to do your work now?" the brown penguin asked (his name was Russell).

Agent yawned and stretched. "Sure. I guess I will. But I'm a little tired, so as I work, I need some motivation." She smiled deviously as she put emphasis on "motivation".

Russell, Hunter, and Connor were cheering as Agent weakly pulled the cart, pulling any gems from the walls. She dramatically dropped to the ground.

"Come on, you workhorse!" Connor shouted. Agent immediately gave the birds the stinkeye.

"Did you just call me a 'workhorse'?! As in, an ugly...old....MARE?!" She began sobbing.

Russell immediately stepped in. "No, horses are beautiful!"

Rih ignored him and repeated, "An ugly....old....MARE?! And just look at me! I used to be one of the beautiful birds...but....NOOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!" Tears rolled down her face and the salty flavor sunk into her mouth.

"Nooo! Your whining! It hurts!!!!" Hunter covered up his earholes and Agent immediately pulled herself up and wiped the tears.

"Whining? Why, I am not whining. I am in the business of misery and complaining. Do you want to hear whining?"

Hunter rolled his eyes.

"THIIS IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS WHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! Oh, this cart is too heavy!!!! My vertebrae's five seconds from snapping in twooooooooooooooo!" Agent whined.

The Peridot Penguins covered their earholes in annoyance.

"Oh, where is Agent?" Ferb90210 was leaned over the manhole, dangling a gem from a fishing lure.

"My love, Agent..." he sang into the hole. Katie immediately slapped him. "You know Agent only comes when we start singing rock music."

Rocket Slug immediately pulled a guitar out of her backpack. Why she had one in the first place was unknown.

"ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!"

The song.

And the grass wasn't green enough here

After washing it with my tears

I'm not sure where you went

But we are just past-tense....

"I'm a renegade, it's in my blood..." Agent began singing.

"The music...it's calling me...Do I reply? Yes, I do." She began scraping up the hole to join her friends.
