>Pine Breeze was liking Earth for the most part so far.
>She had crossed over from Equestria at the right time of year it seemed.
>The human version of Hearth's Warming Eve was coming up soon, so all the humans were in a good mood.
>Having had her job at this new place called "Wal-Mart," Pine got to see lots of people. It was an okay job, she decided.
>She was making enough to rent an apartment not too far from the store, and she had enough to feed herself well, considering veggie dishes were fairly cheap.
>All of her colleagues had been warning her since she joined a week ago about "Black Friday."
>She didn't know what Black Friday was, but all she knew is Friday was her last day of the week to work, so it couldn't be all too bad as long as she got to go home.
>Seeing as she had no family to be with for a human holiday called "Thanksgiving," she was scheduled to work on that Thursday.
>She wasn't to come in until 4 on Thursday, since the store was closed until 5.
>She arrived at 4 in uniform (human shirts fit her surprisingly well), ready to go.
>She hadn't expected to see the massive crowd of people outside of the door, all yelling and screaming
>She was to work up front as a greeter that night.
>She already didn't want to.
>For an hour she stood at the front doors, waiting for them to be unlocked at exactly 5 o'clock.
>What started out as nervousness built into a true fear after hearing what some of the people were saying out there.
>She decided to ask what something was next time, because so far "Black Friday" was awful.
>It wasn't even Friday yet!
>4:50. The shouts get louder; a fight breaks out and someone gets their face smashed against the sliding doors.
>4:52. Two women get into a fist fight over what she could gather was who could get to the half priced Ninja blenders first
>4:56. Another of the employees steps outside to try and calm the crowd down and give them a small speech as to how the opening was going to work.
>4:57. That emplyee disappears into the crowd and is never seen again
>4:59. Pine is considering turning the fuck around and hiding in the work room in the back.
>5:00. The automatic doors slide open and all hell breaks loose.
>Pine lets out a scream and makes a dive for the side.
>One of her coworkers gets caught in the crowd and is dragged underneath, suffocating under the weight of the crowd.
>The massive crowd never seems to end; it just keeps on coming, and Pine doesn't even know what to say.
>She feels like if she does say anything, she might come to physical harm.
>Fights are breaking out in the entrance, and Pine tries to break them up, only to be thrown to the side.
>She wants to break down and leave while she still can, but something in her keeps her there.
>Her obligation to fulfill her job is too strong, and she forces herself to suck it up.
>She runs back to one fight between two men and forces them away from each other.
>They give her awful looks, then each other, but they eventually retreat into the store.
>15 minutes pass and shoppers start to leave the store, some with goods, some without.
>The first 25 minutes goes by somewhat smoothly (albeit the several fights Pine had to break up per minute)
>Then, the buzzer went off.
>Rose saw the man immediately
>She approached the man and asked to see his receipt.
"I ain't got no receipt ya' damned horse! Fuck off!"
>What did he call her?
>"Sir, I'll have you know that I am not a horse. I am a pony, and I also am an employee, now please stop and return whatever it is you're trying to steal!"
"Buzz off!"
>The man made a run for it, and Pine decided enough was enough.
>She ran after the man and tackled him to the ground with ease.
>She was small, but plenty strong enough to deal with this man... or so she thought.
>The man stood up and kicked her square in the jaw, causing it to crack.
>The pain blinded Pine for a moment, before she popped it back into place. That was the final straw.
>She turned around and bucked the man in the chest with all of her might, shattering his ribcage.
>He fell to the ground screaming, and Pine took his stolen merchandise and put it to the side.
>All of the people that were watching cheered, causing her to blush.
"That's what you get, you filthy nigger!" One person yelled at him.
>He was obviously in not great shape, but Pine couldn't be damned to call an ambulance.
>She had a shift to finish.
>Over the course of the night, Pine had to incapacitate three people with her hooves.
>Anyone who tried to run and steal anything was brought down with her mighty Hoof of Justice.
>All of the people who were seriously hurt were left to fend for themselves; there wasn't enough love for them on Black Friday.
>Four hours Pine spent standing at the door, fending off shoplifters and breaking up fights (which usually resulted in her injuring someone)
>At about 10 o'clock, the crowd started to die down.
>In front of Pine laid a battlefield of broken people, strewn about merchandise and belongings, and some blood stains on the floor.
>Pine flicked her greyed mane out of her grizzled eyes, frowning intensely at the scene.
>Not one person managed to escape with stolen goods, that much she was sure of.
>She didn't think she would need to do much more that-
BEEP BEEP
>"Stop, criminal scum!" She bellowed
>Instinctively, she leapt at the offender, and found herself on top of a ten year old boy who looked absolutely petrified of the brown and green pony on top of him who looked like she was out for blood
>"What are you trying to steal!"
N-nothing, I swear! Here's my rece-
>A hoof the the face broke his sentence and some teeth
>"Tell me the truth, you fucking nigger!"
"Miss, I am calling the cops on you right now! Here the receipt!"
>The boy's mom was already pulling out her cell phone to phone the police.
>The phone never made it to her face.
>Pine's teeth were at the woman's throat before she was pulled off by someone large and thrown to the side.
>The store manager jumped on her and held her down.
"Pine! Stop this instance!"
>"B-but sir! They were going to-"
"No! I said stop! I'm sending you home right now before you mess this up any further!"
>"B-but!"
"Leave! NOW!"
>Pine pinned her ears back and walked sadly over the bodies and out of the doors.
>When she got home and cooled down, she took a quick shower.
>A quick glance in the mirror showed that tonight alone had added a good forty years onto her age.
>In a five hour period, she had witnessed more than any SS officer ever had.
>She had committed atrocities any ISIS member could only dream of doing.
>She scowled at the hardened face in the mirror.
>One thing was for sure; she'd make sure her letter of resignation reached the managers desk before her notice of dismissal.
>Pine Breeze had decided she hated Black Friday.
>She hated all Fridays, if they were to be related to Black Friday.
>Fuck Black Friday
>Fuck anything related to Friday or the color black
>Especially black people
>Fuck retail.
>Fuck holidays
>Fuck humans and their shitty holidays
>Pine decided that the next week, she would apply at the McDonald's down the road.
