SheepAgent

SheepAgent is the slash ship between Sheep and X Agent from the Sheep in the Big City fandom.

“Fleeced to Meet You”
Sheep and X Agent's friendship started out as a false one, as the latter was hired by the Secret Military Organization to fool the former and get him captured. Despite that, the two have a lot in common as they're both sheep, like to graze, and play chess. Throughout the episode, X Agent started to question his motives and think about his friendship with Sheep before initially ignoring the thought.

Later, X Agent protects Sheep from Lisa Rental, a young girl who thinks the sheep are dogs and want to keep them as pets, and scares her by breaking her doll via moves related to Martial Arts. Sheep is thankful of X Agent protecting him and gives him a hug. X Agent then thinks about his friendship with Sheep yet again and appreciates the hug, but it was brief as he ends up betraying Sheep and gets him captured.

When General Specific applauds X Agent for his work and is about to fire him, Private Public stops him and tells him that X Agent is more than a stealth spy sheep, he's a friend and “friends don't double-cross friends”. Upon hearing the words “friends don't double-cross friends”, X Agent regrets betraying Sheep and decides to save him by betraying General Specific and Private Public, before they get away in one of the Secret Military Organization's helicopters. In order to help Sheep escape, X Agent tells him that he needs to leave him behind. Before Sheep jumps out the helicopter, the two bid their farewells.

“Flock, Up In The Sky”
X Agent returns to the Big City and helps Sheep whenever he could. Sheep is thankful for it at first, but gets annoyed overtime when X Agent constantly “saves” him from everything including roads, choosing an inferior-brand of cheese-flavored snacks, automatic doors, and people passing by. Eventually, Sheep had enough and tries to tell X Agent that he needs to be left alone. X Agent tells Sheep that he is naïve, and it's “a small price to pay for safety” if he is smothering and overbearing since the Big City is full of dangers. In response, Sheep calls X Agent something, something that cannot be translated due to its nature according to the narrator, and their friendship ends for a while.

When Sheep is captured by General Specific (under General Specific Man after gaining super powers via a wand that The Angry Scientist has made), he bleats out for help. X Agent hears it and brushes it off because of what happened earlier. However, X Agent ends up deciding to rescue Sheep from General Specific and fights with him. When X Agent become weak after fighting, General Specific gets too distracted about X Agent being defeated by one punch to notice Sheep tampering with the controls of the wand and ends up not only losing his powers, but also ends up getting defeated himself.

Upon their victory, Sheep and X Agent became friends again and had learnt how to balance their friendship. Then, X Agent is urgently needed in Toledo and it was not “just a convenient way” to write him off, via telegram read by Completely Powerful Guy. Before X Agent sets off, he and Sheep bid their farewells yet again and even share a hug together.

Fanon
This ship is one of the less-popular ones in the Sheep in the Big City fandom as it gets overshadowed by more popular ships. Despite that, there are some people in the fandom who ship it. The main reasons include how caring X Agent is towards Sheep, and Sheep might prefer being with X Agent since they have a lot more in common.

According to "Ho Yay" trope on the show's YMMV page on TV Tropes, Sheep and X Agent's relationship could be seen as more intimate than just friendship, which is further implied as Swanky, Sheep's love interest, doesn't appear in X Agent's episodes.
