>Day KBB in Equestria >Rarity has called you over to deal with a ‘pest problem’ >You tried to say animals were more Fluttershy’s department, but she insisted on you. >She opens the door as soon as you knock and immediately goes into the helpless maiden routine. >“Oh Anon, thank goodness you’re here.  I am simply at wits end trying to deal with these dust bunnies!” “Wait, seriously?  You called me over to help you sweep up some dust bunnies?” >She pouts up at you, stomping her foot. >“But An~on, they’re sca~ry!  The very idea that I might soil my hooves dealing with them has kept me up for the past three nights.” >You sigh and rub the bridge of your nose. “Fine, I’ll help you.” >Squee. “But you’re doing half the work.” >You can see her deflate. “And since you called me over, you get to work the broom.” >Her bones are the only thing holding her up at this point. >“But, but, I don’t want to sweep.” “Well I’m not doing all the work.  Besides, the dustpan holder always gets the most dust on them anyway.” >She brightens a little at that. >“Too true.  And with the two of us, we can take care of those filthy creatures in half the time.” “That’s the spirit!  Let’s get started.” >She gives a curt nod and steps aside, letting you enter. >As you close the door after you, you see Rarity standing in the center of her store. >She seems to be staring at the wall. “Um, Rari-” >She stomps her hoof once. >Twice. >Three times. >And resumes staring at the wall. “Rarity, what are you doing?” >“Hush, Anon.” >okay.jpg >You feel a rumbling under the floor. >A large purple bin lands next to you with a thud. >A purple broom is levitating next to the unicorn pony.     “Rarity, what’s going on?” >“I told you Anon,” >From a small hole in the wall, grey clouds begin to roll out. >They cover half the floor in an instant. >They’re still rolling out of the hole in the wall. >“I have a dust bunny problem.” “No kidding.” >The flow of bunnies finally settles, thousands of the bastards staring up at you. >Murderous intent in their sightless white eyes. >“This is your champion?” >The sound echoes from every corner of the store. >A sensation of exactly how ‘boned’ you are fills your body. >“Indeed.  Anon and I shall rid my wonderful Boutique of you and your filth forever!” >A deep, throaty laugh. >You swear the dust bunnies are jumping in time with the laughter. >“We shall see.  We shall see.” >The dust bunnies jump and begin to stack on one another. >Tying their micro-strands of fiber together. “What, are they doing?” >“Preparing for battle, of course.  Now listen, Anon.  Make sure that you get every last one.  If even one escapes, they’ll come back.” >Four dust ponies now stand across from you. >They stamp their hooves, sending up clouds of dust in the process. >Rarity snarls. >“You filthy, filthy things.  Don’t you dare mess up my dresses!” >Without a second thought, Rarity charges forward, and slams her broom into the flanks of the first dust pony. >Said pony rockets towards you, being little more than dust and fluff. >You pull the dust bin up just in time to catch the remains. >You get a face full of sawdust in the process. >“Now.” >Oh dear. >That grin. >That almost wild look in her eyes. >“Which of you pieces of filth is going to try next?”   >Ten minutes later, you are sweeping what remains of Rarity’s Boutique Battel. >The victorious champion has decided to take a bath and is currently lounging in her living quarters. >You could probably use one yourself, being covered in filth. >Still, Rarity insisted that you sweep up everything before you leave. >You’ve never been one to skip out on work. >Plus she did just face down a horde of dust bunnies. >As you place the dust bin outside, you sigh and scratch the top of your head. “Man, what a day.” >As you walk towards home, you fail to see the fluff in your hair free itself and float away on the breeze.
