Alright starting right where we left off with this part! I just want to apologize for having such a delay in getting this part out. I've just been busy with quite a few things, hope you understand!

Now let's get this started!

--------------------------------------------------------------

"It's...." Peely started, nervous

Meowscles tilted his heard in curiousity, noticing that Peely seemed pretty nervous

"It's what exactly? Don't be afraid to tell me Peely. I don't mind." Meowscles said, trying to make Peely feel less nervous.

Peely sighed. "Okay. Just...don't tell anyone, okay, Meowscles?"

"Got it." Meowscles said.

"It's that I....I work for Shadow...and Ghost." Peely said, scared to hear Meowscles' reaction

"So you're some sorta double agent, right?" Meowscles asked

"Yes..?" Peely said

"Impressive! That's pretty cool!" Meowscles said in surprise

"Really? Thanks! Though, I do actually work for Ghost personally, but I'm not really that high in the ranks for Shadow, so it's nothing THAT big." Peely explained to Meowscles

"Yeah, but Shadow doesn't know about you being a double agent, and you managing the two is pretty impressive to me!" Meowscles told Peely

"Heh, I guess you could say that." Peely responded, shrugging.

"Well, since that's out of the way, there anything you'd like to do now?" Meowscles asked, looking around his room at some of the workout equipment. Perhaps thinking of working out.

Peely noticed this, and had an idea.

"Well, maybe we could uh..work out a bit? I mean, if you're willing to do so with me and...probably have to help a bit actually, hehe." Peely said embarassed, blushing a little

Meowscles didn't notice the blushing, however.

"Well of course! In fact, I'd love to do it with you, sounds really fun!" Meowscles said, putting his arm around Peely

Peely blushed more

"R-Really? Why m-me of all people?" Peely asked, sounding very nervous

"Well, because you are a great friend of mine, Peely! In fact, I think I'd actually consider you a best friend!" Meowscles said, smiling. However, Meowscles looked at Peely, and then noticed him blushing a bit.

"Huh? Why are you blushing, Peely?" Meowscles asked, confused.

"U-Um b...because I-I u-um" Peely said, blushing more

Meowscles took his arm off of Peely, seemingly very guilty

"Oh I'm sorry! Did I make you uncomfortable? I didn't know that made you uncomfortable, sorry, I can um..go or something if you want, it's my bad, I-" Meowscles said, panicking a little

Peely cut Meowscles off. "N-No! Don't worry you didn't make me uncomfortable or anything, it's fine! In fact I enjoy spending time with you a lot! Don't worry about it, alright?" Peely reassured, his blush now fading away.

Meowscles let out a sigh of relief

"Alright good...I was worried that I did something wrong." Meowscles said

"Well you didn't, so you have nothing to worry about now!" Peely said

"Yeah, you're right." Meowscles said, looking around the room a bit.

"Well, would you like to start now, Peely?" Meowscles asked, looking at Peely.

"Of course! Let's do it!" Peely said excitedly.

Meowscles then did some exercises with Peely, and helped him out with a few that he had trouble with.

After they used quite a bit of the work out equipment in Meowscles' room, Meowscles decided to head outside with Peely, and continue.

Meowscles went out to the back of The Agency

"Alright, let's do some jumping jacks!" Meowscles said

"How many exactly?" Peely asked

"Hm...how about...75?" Meowscles asked

"I..think I can do that!" Peely said

"Alright let's get started then!" Meowscles said

Peely and Meowscles then started doing jumping jacks, counting while doing so.

At around 50, Peely started to get and sound a little exhausted.

"50...51....52....53...54..." Peely said, his exhaustion growing with each number.

"Come on I know you can do it Peely!" Meowscles said, stopping his own counting, but not sounding exhausted, at all.

This made Peely more determined to make it to 75, and he continued on.

"73...74....75!" Peely stopped, taking a breather "I did it! I made it to 75!" Peely said happy, and proud of himself.

Meowscles stopped doing jumping jacks as well.

"Nice job Peely! I knew you could do it!" Meowscles said, putting his right hand up in the air for a high five, which Peely then gave.

"Thank you, anything else we have to do?" Peely asked

"Well, there is one last thing. We could go for a bit of a jog. If you're up for it, that is." Meowscles said.

"Of course! But can I uh...have a little more time before we start?" Peely asked, still a little exhausted.

"Of course you can!" Meowscles said.

After about 10 more minutes, Meowscles and Peely went to Salty springs.

"Alright. We are going to jog from here, Salty Springs, through Sweaty Sands, to Holly Hedges, then back to Salty Springs once, got it?" Meowscles informed Peely.

"Yep! Let's do it!" Peely said as the two began the jog. Things went as expected, though once the two got back to Salty Springs, they found someone.

Meowscles and Peely noticed Bushranger pretending to be a tree by a house in Salty Springs, and walked over to him.

"Hey there, Bushranger!" Meowscles said as he waved at Bushranger.

"Ah, you two spotted me!" Bushranger said

"Well, we have seen you a few times, so we have a good idea on how to tell you apart from the other trees, but I bet most others wouldn't even notice you there." Meowscles said, looking around.

"Well, I guess you are right on that. I haven't really seen anyone look at me at all, if anything. What brings you two here anyways, though?" Bushranger asked

"We just were working out together, and we decided to go on a jog. What about you?" Meowscles said

"That sounds very nice! I'm here because I'm trying to see if I can spy on anyone here, and learn anything from them. Which is why I am pretending to be a normal tree." Bushranger told the two.

"Oh? Have you found anything?" Meowscles asked

"Yeah, it could be helpful to use, or others." Peely said, sharing the same curiosity Meowscles has.

"Well, I have heard rumors about Meowscles and Lynx being together, as well as that Shadow plans to attack another base soon." Bushranger said, looking at Meowscles, curious if the rumors are true.

"Well, I can definitely tell you that Lynx rumor is false. We are just friends. But I should keep that other one in mind. I wonder just what base they would go for though..." Meowscles said, thinking to himself.

"Well, could you maybe tell us which base if you ever figure it out, Bushranger?" Peely asked

"Of course! Well, You two should go and have fun now, plus I don't want to draw any suspicion to myself." Bushranger said

"Thanks, we will. Good luck, Bushranger!" Meowscles said, as he and Peely waved at Bushranger, and walked away back to The Agency together.

--------Meanwhile, at a Shadow base--------

Chaos Agent was with a few Shadow agents, in a type of meeting.

"We need another base, in order to gain more power against Ghost. Any ideas for a good one to take next?" Chaos agent asked, looking around the room

"How about The Yacht? I mean, you could probably use it to gain some Ghost intel." Hazard suggested

"No, definitely not! I'm probably the only one who could get in there, and there is no way I'm doing that!" Brutus argued.

Hazard laughed at Brutus a little

"What? Scared of getting beat up by a little cat?" Hazard asked, laughing more at Brutus

"Well...he...he ain't no little cat, and how do you know that stupid girl who is his best friend or whatever won't come in?" Brutus said, a bit annoyed.

"Yeah, fair point I guess." Riptide said.

"Well, since those two appear to be too difficult, what about that one other base? I don't remember the name of it...but I mean, the person there uses a bow, so we could probably find some way to over power her with our own weapons." Chaos Agent said

"Agreed, let's prepare, and soon go for that one next." Brutus said

-----------Meanwhile, at The Agency----------

Meowscles and Peely made it back to The Agency, at the front entrance, and stopped in front of it. It was now sunset, and the two looked at it.

"Woah...that looks beautiful." Meowscles said, admiring the sunset.

"Let's get a closer look." Peely said, as he and Meowscles walked closer to the sunset, walking up a couple of stairs, and admiring the beautiful view.

"You know...I always thought sunsets like these were so beautiful.." Meowscles said.

"Me too, it's nice to see one after a while." Peely said.

"And you know what?" Meowscles asked, as he turned towards Peely, Peely doing the same.

"It's especially nice to see one after having such a great day with you." Meowscles said.

Peely blushed

"You...You really mean it..?" Peely asked

"Of course I do!" Meowscles said, then hugging Peely.

Peely blushed even more because of this, and then, after a few seconds, hugged back and smiled.

The sunset then soon ended, as night came, and the two released each other from the hug, and walked back inside The Agency, and went inside Meowscles' room again.

Skye and Ollie were in the hallway as they saw the two walk into Meowscles' room.

"Huh...those two were gone on all day. They seem to be hanging out with each other a lot too. Strange, huh Ollie?" Skye asked, looking up at her hat.

"Ollie!" Ollie said.

"Hehe yeah, I'm glad the two are becoming close as well. Let's play a few games and watch videos before we head to bed!" Skye said

"Ollie Ollie!!" Ollie said excitedly as Skye went into her room and closed the door.

Bushranger also was in The Agency, and saw Meowscles and Peely head into their room, as he was heading to Midas' office to tell him about the Shadow's plan.

"I guess those two seem to be pretty close. I'm glad they are!" Bushranger said, as he smiled and opened the door, walking inside Midas' office.

-------Back with Meowscles and Peely------

Meowscles shut the door after he walked inside with Peely.

"Well that sure was a fun day, wouldn't you say, Peely?" Meowscles asked

"Agreed! I loved every moment of it!" Peely said, really happy.

"Me too." Meowscles then yawned

"I'm exhausted though, we did a lot together." Meowscles continued.

Peely yawned as well. "Me too. Maybe we should head to sleep for the night." Peely suggested.

"Heh, why not?" Meowscles said. Meowscles then turned off the lights in his room, and got into his bed with Peely.

"Goodnight, Peely." Meowscles said

"Goodnight, Meowscles." Peely said

Meowscles closed his eyes and smiled, and hugged Peely, while close to him in the bed, causing Peely to blush, but he closed his eyes as well, and the two soon fell asleep.
