- >Monday in Equestria
- >You are Vice-Principal Luna
- >You are tucked under your sheets, with several fans circulating what remains of the cool night air
- >An alarm reminds you that it's 11:00 AM
- >And it's also the first day of Summer Vacation!
- >A hybrid chuckle-yawn slips past your lips as you stretch to wake up
- >Sliding out of bed, you saunter your way downstairs into the kitchen
- No work and no students for two whole months!
- >You exclaim to no one as you pour yourself a mug of joe
- >Sure there was administrative paperwork to handle, but you can worry about that later in the day
- >All that matters now is your coffee
- And that pizza I ordered before I took my post-wake-up nap should be here right abou-
- >DING-DONG
- Perfect!
- >You skip towards the door, stopping to grab a small tip from your change jar by the door
- >As you do so, you realize that you look a bit...frumpy
- >Your hair is a mess, and your pajamas are a VERY long shirt that hangs off one shoulder and barely covers your knees
- Eh, it's summer. Who cares?
- >You open the door, ready to receive your greasy breakfast of champions
- >"Here's your p-Oh, heya VP! You look amazing!"
- >Oh no.
- >"Say, this isn't like one of those videos where you invite me in to give me a tip, right? I mean, your order did say 'extra-sau-GRRK!"
- >In one swift move you jam five dollars in his mouth, relieve him of your nosh, and slam the door shut.
- >Anon coughs outside as he spits the money onto the floor
- >"Hey wow! Twenty bucks!"
- Dang it....I was going to use that at the arcade later.
- >Then you hear another knock.
- >"Uhh, so is this a 'no' on the special tip?"
- >You lock the door and speak through the mailslot.
- Leave my porch or I'm sending my dog after you.
- >Anon scrambles as he leaves the stoop
- >"I'll see you when you order delivery again, my love!"
- >As he gets in his car, you open your phone and call up Peezter Robo to try and get Anon fired.
- >Sure, it's a bit of an overreaction
- >But this pizza is too delicious for you to avoid it all summer.
- >Monday Afternoon in Equestria
- >You are Headmistress Cadance
- >You're taking a nice cruise down the boulevard in your wheels when you see a crudely painted sign
- >"CAR WAZH, FIVE DOLLAR$", it reads
- Aww, it's so great to know kids still try to raise money on summer break!
- >Deciding to humor them, you pull into the parking lot to get your car washed
- >"Hello Sir, or Madam, would you like a car wash today?", a familiar voice drones out to you
- >You angle your sunglasses down to peer over the top of the lenses
- >Sure enough it's Shining Armor, reading off his palm again
- >Well, at least he's kind of a kid. Sort of.
- Hello, Shining. Trying to raise money for some new video game?
- >He does a quick look around before he lets out a sigh
- >"Actually, my friend just got fired this morning, so I'm helping him earn some gas money so he can get to an interview tomorrow."
- Aw, that's so nice of you! How many customers have you had so far?
- >Shining giggles for a moment, then recomposes himself.
- >"I think you're our...third customer today? We would have had more, but Anon's sales tactics are a bit agg-"
- >"SHINY! WHAT DID I TELL YOU IS THE FIRST RULE OF CAR WASH?", a green young man barks as he approaches your car
- >"Always Be Selling", Shining winces a bit as he replies
- >Quickly, the other young man gets close enough for your to recognize
- Hello, Autonomous. How's your day been?"
- >"I've been good Miss Cadenza." Autonomous looks back and forth between you and Shining
- >"But YOU could use a good car wash!"
- >You nod
- That's kinda why I'm here.
- >Anon nods enthusiastically in reply
- >"OF COURSE! WE OFFER ONLY THE BEST RUBDOWNS ON ANY CHASSIS, AND MY FRIEND HERE SPECIALIZES IN THE OLDER MODELS.", he announces with a wink
- >Shining Armor turn red and starts to back away, but Anon grabs and wrestles him onto your windshield, trying to rip off Shining's shirt
- Woah!
- >"Ease up man, c;mon!"
- >"NEVER! THE CUSTOMER DEMANDS PLEASING!"
- >None of you notice as a police car sidles up beside you.
- >Early Monday Evening in Equestria
- >You are Principal Celestia
- >And it is Poker Night, one of the most important days on your calendar this month
- >Next to the Cheese, Cake, Cheesecake, and Whisky Convention in two weeks, that is
- Sombra and Chrysalis are going to get their wallets drained tonight!, you say to your mirror with a grin
- >They got their butts handed to them every week, but they always got cocky around the start of summer for some reason
- >Locking up, you hop in your car for a drive across town to Sombra's Apartment
- >You drum your fingers against the wheel
- The light at 3rd always takes forever, you grumble
- >Tap-tap, goes a finger on your window
- >On reflex, you swing the car door open hard enough to knock them to knock your assailant to the ground
- >You grab your phone to call 911
- >"Ugh, Principal...whyy?", groans the man you knocked down
- Anonymous?
- >Making a left on 7th, you get onto the freeway as you make your way towards Anon's house
- >Sombra was okay with waiting to till you showed up, but both Chrysalis and yourself were miffed with having to wait.
- Haven't been late to a single game in five years, you know?
- >"Sorry."
- It's fine.
- >You shift lanes to be closer to the upcoming offramp
- So, what's with the daisy dukes?
- >Anon looks down, as if noticing his shorts for the first time
- >"Oh. Well, I was deliving a piza to Miss Luna."
- Dressed like that?
- >"No!", he shakes his head, "I had a uniform! But when I got back to the shop, my boss fired me for 'harassing' someone. I treated Peetzer Robo like a temple. Then, when I was trying to raise gas money with a car wash, some cop mistook me and my friend for sex workers! Do I look like a sex worker to you?"
- >You pull off the freeway and make a left
- Just a little, you smirk.
- >Anon chuckles as you pull up in front of his house
- >"But hey at least I can sleep at home tonight, right?"
- >Gingerly, you pat his shoulder
- That's the spirit, Ann. Now fuck off; I've got poker to win and you left a wet spot on my seat.
