- >What had started out as a simple detour due to construction on the normal road, had led you to a small box on the side of the road.
- >The box had mostly deteriorated, the thunderstorm from last night was most certainly the cause.
- >And inside the box, you had found a little brown mare, sobbing to herself.
- >She had sucked it up when she noticed you, almost trying to save at least some of whatever dignity she had left.
- >Beside her sat another piece of cardboard, with various sexual favors and prices written in streaked marker.
- >You look down at the brown mare.
- "Anything goes, huh?"
- >Not even bothering to look up at you, she mutters out a meager "Yes, sir."
- "Hmm, and how long would I have you for?" You ask.
- >"F-For as long as you need, sir."
- >You look at the bits in your hand, and then back to the mare as you decide what you want to do.
- >20 bits could get you quite a nice thing.
- >But... you couldn't do that. Not with a good conscious.
- >Sighing, you set the pile of bits down by the mare.
- >Looking at the pile of money and counting it to make sure, she suppresses a sob, and very slowly drags herself out of the box.
- >Laying down on the damp grass, she spreads her hind hooves apart.
- >"Pick any hole, sir." She says, closing her eyes in half shame, half fear.
- >To her surprise, you pick her up by the scruff of her chest, and set her back down on her hooves.
- "No. Not here. I paid 20 bits, so I dictate where we go."
- >She looks at the bits inside the box, and finally you.
- >"W-Where do I put the bits?" She asks, struggling to enunciate a sentence without breaking down and crying.
- "I'll carry them. After we're done, you'll get your payment."
- >The mare sighs for a moment, before hoofing you your bits back.
- >She had nothing to lose, nothing save for the shred of dignity she had left.
- >Hopefully you can change that, and you motion her to follow you as you head into town.
- >The two of you soon arrive at your destination; Sugarcube Corner.
- >"We-We're going in here?" She asks, almost fear in her voice.
- "Yup," you say as you enter the building and approach the counter.
- >The pony hesitates for a second before she runs in after you, hiding behind your body.
- >You feel like asking her what she's doing, but decide to hold your tongue. Chances are she didn't get out much, and a public place like this...
- >The place is pretty empty, it's not really long before the always energetic Pinkie Pie comes bounding around the corner to serve you.
- >"Heya, Anon! What can I getcha today?!" She chirps, before noticing the brown pony currently trying harder to hide behind you.
- >"YOU!" She shouts with a sinister tone, jumping over the counter and pointing an accusing hoof at her.
- >"What the hell are you doing back here?! I thought I told you that the next time I saw you in here, I would not only kick you out, but I'd get the police involved as well!"
- >Wait, what? These two know each other.
- "Wait, hold on," You interject. "What's going on here?"
- >"Anon, stay outta this. You don't want to deal with her. She's a lying, thieving, selfish, SLUT!"
- >The brown pony just whimpered at that last part.
- >You force your body between the two of them.
- "Calm down. Pinkie, she's with me."
- >"She's WHAT?! Anon, do you have any idea what this mare did?!"
- "I'm sure I can handle it," You say. "I just came for some drinks. Is that going to be a problem?"
- >She looks at the brown pony, and then back to you.
- >"No, just for you, it won't be. Pick a table over there," She says, pointing to the front of the store. "Oh, but if she so much as touches any of our stuff, she's outta here."
- "Duly noted," You say as you pull up a chair to a table, the brown pony doing the same.
