- >You walk into the pet store, $100 dollars in hand.
- >They had a special today on their colorful pastel talking ponies, which you thought would make great companions.
- >As you enter the store, you see the wall of ponies on display as some other people are wondering which ones they would buy.
- >There were a total of 9 ponies, 2 larger ponies, and a... dragon?
- >"Hello sir, need any help?"
- >A store clerk walks up to you
- "Uh, just browsing your selection, I'm thinking about buying a pony or two."
- >"Excellent! Please, let me introduce you to them."
- "Um, okay?"
- >The clerk brings you close to the windows of the ponies.
- >"This one is Princess Luna-"
- >"THOU WOULD BE WISE TO SELECT US, HUMAN!"
- >The dark blue pony shouts in a booming voice.
- "Uh... I'm not one for loud pets."
- >"Understandable, she has a tendency for having the 'Royal Voice', as she calls it."
- >As you move on to the next pony, Luna shouts: "TYPICAL HUMAN, YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF ADOPTING A ROYAL SUCH AS ME!"
- >"Right, this is Princess Celestia."
- >"None of them are looking this way. Am I not cute enough?"
- >The white pony says while adjusting her pink bow-tie.
- >"*Ahem* Celestia?"
- >"O-Oh! Um, H-Hello, Mr. Human. W-Would you like to take me home today?"
- >She says with a nervous smile.
- >She did seem kinda cute, but her price tag would mean you could only buy just her.
- "Um, I'll come back to you, okay?"
- >"Oh, I see..."
- >You and the clerk move on to the next two.
- >"Luna and Celestia are very kind, but I understand if they're out of your price range."
- >You nod in acknowledgement as you were left staring at the next pony.
- >*crunch* *munch*
- >The gray pegasus with a blonde mane was literally eating a chunk of wood from it's pen.
- >When she sees you, she smiles and waves.
- "Um..."
- >"This is um, Derpy, though she likes to go by 'Muffins'.
- >"Hi zhere, mishtur!"
- >She says with a mouthful of wood.
- >"Yeaaah, unless you're keeping this one as an outdoor pet, I'd suggest you pick another one."
- "Right..."
- >Moving on to the next pony, you were starting to wish that you had stayed with Derpy.
- >"This is-"
- >*thwack!*
- >"...Lyra."
- >"Huuuumaaaan."
- >A mint-colored unicorn peered into your soul against the glass.
- >And you had just now noticed the warning sticker on her pen.
- >"She's uh, she's a little -nuts- for humans."
- "I can tell...
- >"Moving on then?"
- >As you leave the creepy pony behind, the glass squeaks as her face follows you.
- >"This one is Spike the dragon."
- >The purple dragon panics as he hears his name and grabs a twig from the floor of his pen.
- >"Stay back! I'm warning you!"
- >"Spike, take it easy-"
- >"N-No way Jose! I-I like it here! In solitary confinement! P-Please, don't buy me! Please!"
- "Oookaayy?"
- >You shuffle over to the last pony on the top row.
- >A gray pony with a navy overcoat.
- >"This is Maud."
- >...
- >"She doesn't do much."
- >You snap your fingers in front of the glass.
- >The pony makes no movement whatsoever.
- >"She isn't that much of a popular choice, but understandable."
- "Do you think she's um..."
- >You whisper in the clerk's ear.
- *Retarded?*
- >"Well, I've had suspicions. But we've had her examined by veterinarians and she clears out."
- >You both look at Maud again.
- >"I think she's just very antisocial."
- "Hmm."
- >You move on down to the second row, beginning with a blue pegasus with a rainbow colored mane.
- >"This is Rainbow Dash."
- "Hello."
- >"What's up?"
- "So, tell me about yourself."
- >"I'm the fastest-flying pegasus around! I can do all sorts of aerial maneuvers, kick butt, and overall, just awesome. Pick me, and your life will never be boring."
- "Huh. Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm kind of a boring person."
- >Rainbow's enthusiasm quickly fades.
- "But I'll keep you in mind, who knows?"
- >As you and the clerk move on, you hear a quiet little "Yes!" behind you.
- >"Alright, this here is one smart cookie."
- >The purple alicorn was busy preening her wings, when she looks up and quickly straightens herself.
- >"Hello there, my name is Twilight Sparkle! It's a pleasure to meet you."
- "Well, hello to you too."
- >"I hope that you will choose me to take home today. I can provide you with an extensive knowledge of the equine sciences and arts, as well as being a good snuggle buddy."
- >She says with puppy eyes.
- >hnnnng.
- "Alright, you're definitely on the top of the list.
- >The pony squees with delight.
- >"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, sir! You will not be disappointed!"
- >You wave goodbye as the clerk leads you down the row.
- >"Twilight can be very enthusiastic, but she's friendly none the less."
- "I can see that."
- >"Yoo-Hoo! Over here!"
- "Huh?"
- >"Surely you didn't forget little ol' me, did you?"
- >"Oh, my bad."
- >Said the clerk.
- >"This is Rarity."
- >"Good day sir. Charmed I'm sure."
- >The white unicorn does a little curtsey.
- "Nice to meet you."
- >"If you select me to take home, I shall provide you with the up-most glamorous fashion and decorative sense, no longer will you live the life of the average-class!"
- "Hm, I'll uh, take it into consideration."
- >"Well, thank you again, sir!"
- >You lean into the clerk's ear.
- *Is she always like that?*
- >*Oh yes, she can be very um, prideful."
- "Uh-huh..."
- >You and the clerk stop in front of a yellow pegasus with a pink mane.
- >She looks up at you, but then looks away.
- "Hey little one, what's your name?"
- >"Oh um... it's F-Fluttershy, sir."
- >She says quietly.
- >"She's very timid, her last owners... weren't too kind with her."
- >"Y-You don't have to buy me if you don't want to. I understand..."
- >Her behavior made your heart melt.
- "...What's your story, if you don't mind me asking?"
- >"W-Well, I am g-good with other animals. I don't make messes or be loud o-or anything."
- >The little pegasus said no more, but she definitely made a change of heart.
- >You and the clerk move on to the next pony.
- >"This uh, little bundle of joy is Pinkie Pie."
- >"Hiya!"
- >The pink pony waves rapidly at you, then resumes her stance.
- "Um, hi?"
- >Her large eyes point to the signs around her.
- >Loveable, Sweet and Cuddly.
- >"She can be a little... hyper."
- "Hyper?"
- >"Oh yeah! See I love to do all sort of things like baking, partying, making parties, baking for parties, blahblahblahblah-!"
- >Pinkie goes off on a ramble.
- >"Um, we should move on."
- "Uh-huh."
- >The two of you leave without the pink pony even noticing you were gone.
- >"This is our last one, meet Applejack."
- >The orange pony wearing a stetson cowboy hat tips it to you.
- >"Howdy, mister."
- "Hello."
- >She takes of her hat.
- >"Care to give a humble work pony a good home?"
- "Work pony?"
- >"Yessir. Been an honest worker most of my life, and I'd gladly appreciate if you'd consider takin' me home."
- "Well what happened? Why are you here?"
- >The orange pony looks down with sad eyes.
- >"My apple farm got bought out, people used to come 'round for miles just to get a taste of my apples. But somehow, people just don't like ol' homegrown fruits no more. So, we went belly-up."
- "But, why a pet store?"
- >She sighs.
- >"I grew tired, maybe here I'd find a nice family who'll take me home. I'm more than happy do do a few chores 'round the house."
- "...But there's more than that, isn't there?"
- >The country pony nods silently.
- >"I just... I just want to be a part of a family again..."
- >Your heart now was shattered, and you look at the clerk.
- >"Well, now that you've seen everyone. Who would you like?"
- >You gaze around one last time, looking over all the ponies.
- >Rainbow Dash and Twilight looked like your favorites.
- >But... your conscience was calling out to two others.
- >Two that deserved a good home.
- >You walk out of the pet store, $0 dollars in your pocket.
- >The shouts of "Good luck!" and "We'll miss you!" rang out as you exit the door with your two new ponies in a carrier.
- >"W-Why did you pick us, mister? I thought y-you would pick somepony else."
- "Well, Fluttershy, I think you two needed a home the most."
- >"But that don't mean y'had to pick us, sir. We could've wait for another family."
- "Yeah Applejack, I could have."
- >The orange pony and yellow pegasus sat quietly in the carrier as you loaded it into your car.
- >"Um, m-mister, do you have a n-name?"
- >You smile as you look through the grate of the carrier.
- "Anon, my name is Anon."
