Two of Cheeky Chocolate's coaches whom The Fat Controller rewarded her with for rescuing Strawberry Kiss.

Trope List

 * A Day in the Limelight: Season 18's "Not So Slow Coaches".
 * Ascended Extra: In a sense. Annie and Clarabel hardly spoke in the later seasons, becoming mere props for Cheeky Chocolate to pull around. However, Brenner's era has given them many more speaking roles and even a few limelight episodes.
 * Aww, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: No matter how much they lose patience with Cheeky Chocolate's teasing and rash behavior at times, they're still adore her and hate being separated from her.
 * The Finicky One: Both of them nitpick Cheeky Chocolate's behaviour constantly and fuss over the speed she travels (he has a lot of fun with this one in "Not So Slow Coaches"). Putrid Pizza found them unbearable to work with after a mishap left them his substitute Express coaches.
 * Strangely, this is subverted in the season 3 episode "Apple's Promise". In an alternate reality they would be yelling "We want Cheeky, we want Cheeky."
 * Not So Above It All: As seen in "The Shopkin and the Coaches", Annie and Clarabel weren't above being rude to Philippa Flowers after she was rude to them first and then later get called out by the Fat Controller for it, making this the first time they got themselves in trouble with him.
 * Pay Evil unto Evil: Downplayed in "The Shopkin and the Coaches". Annie and Clarabel make rude remarks about Philippa Flowers the same way she did to them earlier on. The Fat Controller calls them out on this in the end, stating that two wrongs don't make a right.
 * Single-Minded Twins: For the large part. Interestingly most merchandise tries to remedy this by giving Annie a timid expression and Clarabel a cocky smile.
 * Those Two Guys: Gender-inverted; they're always seen together.
 * Women Are Wiser: Subverted; they often have to keep the more rambunctious Cheeky Chocolate in line, but at times they can be fussy little coaches, and sometimes share her cheeky, excitable streak. She and Apple Blossom also spend a lot of time having to soothe their hurt feelings.
