>Be Anon >You share a house with Echo >You both have your own rooms >You've changed your sleep schedule so that now you sleep during the day >During the night you hang out with Echo and several other of the bat ponies >For the past couple of days though Echo has been sneaking out after she thought you'd fallen asleep >You have no idea what she could possibly be doing >Curiosity had gotten the better of you and today you plan on following her >After wishing her a good day, you crawl into bed with your clothes on and pull the blankets up over you >You close your eyes and wait >After about an hour you can hear her hooves tapping against the wooden floor as she sneaks out >You wait for the sounds of the door closing before throwing the covers off of you >You run to the front window and look out >Shit, she's already vanished >You hurriedly put your shoes on and go out the front door >Just as come out the door you notice what looks like Echo's tail turning the corner just down the road >She's heading out to the market? >Strange >you jog down to the end of the road and press your back against the house though >Carefully you peer around the corner but she's managed to vanish again >Maybe she ducked into one of the shops?   >Be Echo >For the past couple of days you've heard Anon sneaking out of the house >Curious, you decided that today you would follow him to see what he's up to >But you're smart >Instead of waiting for him to head out you decide to head out before him so you can get a good vantage point >After wishing Anon a good day you head to your room and wait >An hour later you sneak out the front door and quickly fly up to the roof of your house >You don't even have to wait that long before Anon comes out >You duck down to make sure he doesn't spot you >Anon looks both ways down the road before jogging to the end of the street >You watch as he presses himself against a building and peeks around the corner >Anon sure is acting strange >You wonder if he's noticed that everyone is staring at him >Suddenly Anon runs around the corner >You fly up from your roof and glide over to the shop Anon had been sneaking around >You watch as he ducks into a clothing store >You're fairly certain that Anon doesn't get any of his clothes made there >You decide that you might be able to get a better view into the clothing store from the store across the street   >Be Anon >You had run into some clothing shop after seeing what looked like Echo's mane poking up from behind one of the racks >Once you'd ducked inside though you found that it was just some other pony >Seems like you've already lost Echo again >Maybe you're not too great at tracking ponies >Stepping out the clothing store you see Echo entering the store across the street >You're 100% sure it's her this time >You saw her cutie mark >Quickly you take cover on one of the street vendor's stands and peer over the edge of the table, trying to get a good view into the store >You feel a tap on your shoulder >"Um... Sir?  Anon?  Er... What are you doing?" >You look up at the earth pony responsible for running the stand "Shhh.. please just, don't mind me." >"Sir... You can't be behind the stand.  Please-" "Shhhh!"   >Be Echo >You wished you could hear what was going on but it seemed Anon was having some sort of secret conversation with one of the vendors >You couldn't leave the shop now since Anon would surely notice you >The street vendor was now pushing Anon out from behind the stand as Anon flailed wildly about >What the hell was he doing? >You feel someone tap on your shoulder >"M'am, if you're not going to buy anything then I'll have to ask you to leave." "Oh.. uh.. I was just looking at... this." >You pick up whatever object was closest to you without looking "So uh, how much?" >The shopkeeper does not look amused >"M'am, items in the window are for display purposes only." "Oh..." >"And that's the open sign for the store."   >Be Anon >You've just been kicked out of your hiding spot >Thankfully, Echo seems to be distracted by some conversation she's having the shopkeeper >You want to know what she's talking about but you can't risk going through the front door >Thinking quickly you sprint for the alley way to see if the shop might have a back door   >Be Echo >You manage to convince the shopkeeper that you're interested in buying something so that she'll leave you only >Just as you turn back to look out the window you see Anon running straight for the store >YOU'VE BEEN SPOTTED >ABORT MISSION >Panicking you scramble to the back of the shop and burst out of the backdoor >You jump, intending to fly up to a rooftop but instead you slam headfirst into something >Anon makes a funny grunting sound as he topples over >Before he has a chance to yell at you, you quickly point a hoof at him "ANON!  What do you think you're doing sneaking out?" >Anon looks up at you, stunned for a moment before he jumps to his feet and begins brushing himself off >"Um... er... I.. I wasn't sneaking out.  I was just uh... going for a snack... What.. What do you think YOU'RE doing out at this time of day?" "Oh uh... I was... getting a snack too..." >You both narrow your eyes at each other >Tomorrow morning you'd follow him again.  This time you'd find out what he was up to for sure >Unbeknownst to you, Anon had decided to try following you again tomorrow morning. >Together you both head over to a fruit stand and get something to eat           >Be Speck >For the past couple of days you've been sneaking into Anons house >Anon never locks his door >You like to sneak around the house and rummage through his things while he sleeps >Today though, for some reason, he's not here >Oh well
