>after the Bleach sex role-play, you and Twilight made love two more times that night
>no bullshit role-play, no weird magic
>you gave her just what she needed
>the next morning, you get ready to go back to work
>you finally shave after almost a month
>feelsgoodman.jpg
>Twilight is there in the bathroom while you shave
>she's on the toilet, douching
>only_the_dead_can_know_peace_from_this_evil.bmp
>you need to get the fuck out of here
>you shave too fast and cut your face
>FUCK
>Twi:"What are you getting ready for? Where are you going?"
Oh! I'm going back to work sweetie.
>Twi:"O-oh..."
>she suddenly stops douching and gallops off
 
>you arrive at work for the first time in a long time
>the store is different
>your house is different
>Pinkie Pie painted it pink again
>there's a big neon sign with Pinkie's face on it
>oh no
>you bust into the video store
>whew! It's not a strip club
>or a sex dungeon
>just your regular old video store
>Rainbow Dash is at the counter
>RD:"ANON?! You're finally better?!"
>she flies over to you and tackles you to the ground in a warm hug
>RD:"I've... I've missed you. We didn't really get to talk in the hospital that much since... uh..."
I know, Twilight's been known to hover.
>RD:"HOVER?! Sheesh... Anyway! I got the store up and running again. Pinkie Pie renovated the store while we were both gone and uh... well..."
*gulp* Sex dungeon?
>RD:"Sex dungeon."
DAMN IT!
 
>Rainbow Dash climbs off of you
>RD:"Chill! Chill! It's only in the basement!"
>she points a hoof at the stairwell to the basement
>you can see a dim red glow emanate from the dark staircase
Couldn't you find her some regular work? Maybe, ya'know? In the store we run?
>RD:"Trust me... I tried. She doesn't work well with the customers. Or maybe... she works TOO well."
So, we've gained a reputation?
>RD:"Kinda yeah."
>you're livid
>RD:"It's okay it's okay! Chill chill chill! It's all good now!"
HOW. CAN. IT. BE. OKAY? THERE. IS. A. SEX. DUNGEON. ENTRANCE. RIGHT. OVER. THERE.
>RD:"There's a... separate entrance for Pinkie's... um... sex dungeon. We just opened and I usually put a padlock over that one over there. CHILL.
>she shuts the new steel door to the basement and locks it with an oversized padlock
>RD:"Ponies are coming back again! We have customers again! It'll be okay Anon! Applejack has been helping out on the business side!"
>you sigh to yourself
>the circumstances couldn't be poorer, but you need to save up for Twilight's wedding ring
>you're only going to be working here for a month or two anyway, you may as well deal with it
*sigh* Any other news?
>Rainbow Dash smirks
>RD:"We've made a new hire."
>you've got your face in your palm and you muffle under your hand,
Who?
>RD:"Heheheheh Check it out."
 
>you see an ugly yellow pony with orange hair behind the counter
Spitfire?
>RD:"*giggle* YEAH! Ever since I replaced her on the Wonderbolts, she's been through hard times. She got addicted to a whole manner of different drugs... yadda yadda yadda-- but she's made it through rehab."
She looks high right now.
>RD:"Oh. She just smokes a lot weed now. A LOT. It's cool."
Currently? You mean, on the job?
>Rainbow Dash gives you a serious face
>RD:"She's a very functional stoner."
 
>you walk over to Spitfire and hold out your hand for a shake
Hello Spitfire.
>Spit:"Heeeeeeeeeeey... can I help you find a movie?"
>she doesn't know you're her boss
>you decide to test her chops as a salespony
Yeah. I'm looking for a comedy, any suggestions?
>Spit:"I'm a huuuuuge fan of "Horsald and Coltmar go to Canterlot Castle for Winter Wrap-up."
I'm looking for a drama.
>Spit:"Scarflank. It's really cool because he does, like, A TON of blow and shoots ponies."
Sad movie. I'm looking for a sad movie.
>Spit:"Requiem for a Dream about Ponies."
>she's quick
>all of her movies are about drugs, but she's quick on her hooves
Congratulations! You're not fired for being high in the job!
>Spit:"Yusssssssss."
>you walk away, back toward Rainbow Dash
>Spit:"WAIT!? You're my boss?!"
Yep!
 
>because of mythical creature law, Spitfire will most likely be paid a higher wage than you
>fucking speciesist laws
>at least Applejack is taking care of the business side now
>you'll never have to deal with that bitch Silver Spoon and the mythical creature protection agency
>Applejack will most likely be taking care of the "wage equalization" from now on
>since she's a friend, it doesn't hurt as much
>still hurts though
>if you had full ownership of your store without "wage equalization" you would make enough bits to buy Twilight a wedding ring every day
>of course, you could always ask your friends, particularly the obscenely wealthy Applejack and Rainbow Dash, to help you buy Twilight's wedding ring
>however, that wouldn't be YOUR work
>Fuck, it wouldn't even be your wedding ring
>it would be Applejack's or Rainbow Dash's
>no, it needs to be yours
 
>you're not sure if Twilight is buying you your wedding ring or making it herself
>you're fine with whatever
>you're fairly sure, however, that Twilight's weekly stipend isn't enough to buy something amazing
>nevertheless, you're truly interested in what Twilight will come up with
>For Twilight, you've had your eye on a gold ring that has a purple topaz gemstone
>the Topaz is shaped like a lilac
>Twilight's favorite flower
>if you remember correctly, lilacs symbolize "first love"
>oh, how well that fits!
>the marriage ceremony is set to take place at the end of March, when lilacs bloom
>Twilight can't wait, she--
>wait... is that Twilight over there?
 
>Twilight is standing in the video store entrance
>her eyes are bloodshot
>Applejack is behind her
>Twi:"*sniff* A-Anon..."
Twilight! What's wrong?!
>Applejack gently shoves Twilight out of the way
>AJ:"Let me handle this, sugarcube."
>Applejack takes you off to the side
 
What's this about? Did something happen?
>AJ:"Oh, don't worry yer little head Anon. She just misses workin' is all. I told her that the best way to get rid o' that feelin' is to get workin' right away! Good thing I have the means to provide her with a job huh? Heh heh heh! So, when you go back over there, she's gonna ask you to hire her, and--"
No.
>AJ:"What?"
No.
>AJ:"You know I don't like hearin' no, righ'?"
She's not working here.
>AJ:"Anon! I own this here establishment and I promised that FIANCEE of yers a job near her one and only! That's YOU, ya oaf!"
This isn't the answer.
>AJ:"Course it is! Hard work  is always the answer to... ah? Wanting to work!"
Twilight is just using that as a ploy to get near me again. She needs to learn to let go of me for a few hours. She needs to learn how to be alone for a while.
>AJ:"Hmmm... that does sound mighty fishy."
Maybe she DOES need a job though! Do you have any openings anywhere else? Maybe an administrative position?
>AJ:"Nope... got nothin'... except... the sex dunge--? Oh Anon! I was jokin' around! Come back!"
 
>you pull Twilight aside
>Twi:"*sniff* So... are you going to hire me??
No.
>Twi:"Wha-What?!"
Listen Twi. This is MY job. I don't want you getting involved.
>Twi:"B-but don't you love me??"
Yes! Very much! It's just... I don't want to be your boss. That's a relationship I don't want to have with you. We're equals.
>Twi:"I guess..."
You also have to learn how to live without me for a while.
>she starts crying her eyes out instantaneously
Whoa whoa whoa! What's going on!?
>Twi:"WHERE ARE YOU GOING ANON!? ARE YOU MOVING AWAY FOR A LONG TIME??"
What?! No! I meant that you need to learn how to live alone when I'm at work.
>she stops crying as quickly as she started
>Twi:"Oh."
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. That's a quote from Earth. I'm sure you understand what it means?
>Twi:"Y-yeah! Like... when you were stabbed and I couldn't talk to you and when you woke up I felt the most love that I'd ever felt!"
Same thing here. I go to work, and you do something, and then when we're both done we can spend the rest of the day together or with friends.
>Twi:"I should do something? I know! I'll--"
I know you have hobbies, like anime and games, but I think you should get a job working somewhere or get a more constructive hobby.
>Twi:"Oh... well... I can't open the library again since all the books were made digital years and years ago."
>and the entire building kind of smells like semen and mare-cum with a whiff of waffles
We'll figure it out together! How about that?
>Twi:"That sounds great, but..."
>a couple scrolls and a quill float toward the two of you
>Twi:"I've learned more than one thing today, so I'll have to write more than one letter to the princess. Ready?"
Always.
