>Day 300 in Equestria   >You got a job at Donut Joe's bakery. >And hopefully, nothing bad will happen to ruin your first day. >You don't know why, but the mares around town started to act strangely recently. >When you asked about it, the only answer you got was that it's 'this time of the year' again. >Fucking crazy ponies. >Speaking of crazy pony, here comes your first customer. >An orange mare with a Stetson hat. >"Howdy partner!" "Hello Miss, what can I do for you today?" >"Ah think ah'll take an apple strudel to go." "Right away." >You turn around a grab the strudel. >"Ah didn't know Joe was hiring." "Excuse me?" >"Joe, he usually runs this place all alone. I'm just surprised to see someone else work here." "Yeah, Joe said he needed a week of vacation, so he hired me to replace him temporarily." >You put the strudel in a bag and drop it on the counter. "That'll be three bits." >She drops the coins in your hand, then looks you up and down. >"Well, you look like could handle some good, hard, physical work." >She puts a certain emphasis on 'physical work' that makes you uncomfortable. >"If ya want a job, come to Ponyville's orchard and ask for Applejack." "I'll be sure to make it worth your time." "I- uh- I'll think about it." >"Don't make me wait Sugarcube." >And with that, she leaves the store, strudel in mouth. >See? That's what you meant. Since yesterday, all the mares you saw were acting flirty around you. >It's insufferable.       >Alright, second customer. >Yellow coat, pink mane, kinda cute and, hopefully, sane. "Hello Miss, what can I get for you?" >"Ummm..." >"I'll take..." >"No... Maybe I could..." >Oh god, it's one of THOSE customers. >"Is that...?" >"Oh! That looks pretty good!" >Fucking finally. >"Hmmm... no, I'd rather not..." >God dammit. >You really don't want to spend all day on this. "Excuse me, Miss? Can I suggest something?" >"N-no, I can do this..." >You swear to god, if she doesn't finish at least one sentence in the next 15 seconds, you'll throw her out the fucking window. >3 minutes later, she's still going on with her ellipsises. >You think you might have crushed the bridge of your nose between your thumb and your index. >"Excuse me, Sir? >Did whatever god that rules this world finally answers your prayer? "Yes?" >"Is indecisive customers your fetish?" >What? "No?" >"Oh... I'll take a bear claw, then." >You will not kill the customers. You will not kill the customers. You will not kill the customers. >You force a smile. "Sure. Three bits, please." >She pays you, grabs her pastry and flutters out.       >The doorchime rings as another customer enters. >Before you can get a good look at her, she's rushed up to the counter. >"Hi hi!" >Startled, you collect yourself. "Hey there, what can I get ya?" >Full-on pink mare. >Pink coat, pink hair. >You're pretty sure if her words were visible, they would be pink. >"I'll take a dozen donuts, aaaaaand a bag of cream puffs, aaaaaand a cherry pie!" >Quite a bit. "You got it! Getting ready for a party?" >She snickers. >"Silly, you should ALWAYS be ready for a party! But this is my lunch." >... >You slide open the plate glass, revealing the delicious treats. "Okay, one dozen donuts." >"Oh, can you make sure they are glaaaazed?" "Of course!" >As you bend over, reaching into the cabinet, you can see her staring. >"Goodie goodie! I always love a good coating of glaze~" >Ignore the obvious innuendo. >Ignore it. >You place the box on top of the counter, and reach into the cabinet for her second item. "One bag of cream puffs..." >"Mmmm..." >You see her licking her lips as you grab the pastry. >She isn't looking at the puffs. >Upright once more, you hold out the bag. >"I love when my puff's full of cream..." >She grabs the pastries. >"...especially if it's whipped~" >God damn mare. >Alright, one last treat. "And finally, one cherry pie!" >You grab the pie, and close the plate glass slider. >The pink mare's eyes look at you deeply. >Those are bedroom eyes, for certain... >You notice them long enough to lose focus. >The pie falls out of your grip, which ends up splattering against the counter. "Oh no, I'm so sorry!" >Lightly giggling, she looks down to the mess. >"Mister, you broke my cherry!" >Looking back at you, those bedroom eyes are back. >"But it's okay, as long as it's you~" >That's enough of that. >Let's get this over with as fast as possible. >You quickly retrieve a new pie and gives it to her. "7 bits, the pie's free." >"Thanks, you're such a sweetie!" >She slowly brings the payment to the counter, never breaking eye contact. >Oh come on! Just pay and leave, ya crazy dame! >She, thankfully, leaves without making the situation even more uncomfortable. >You sink your head in your hands. "Why did I accept this job..."       >You once again hear the jingle caused by someone entering the bakery. >Lifting your head from your hands, you can see that it's another mare. White coat and stylish purple mane. >Great. "Hello Miss, how can I help you today?" >"A simple Mille-Feuille will do." >What the fuck is a 'Mille-Feuille'? >Good thing Joe left you a scroll with common 'Fancy to Equestrian' translations. >Let's see, she wants a... Vanilla Slice. >You sigh. Silly fancy ponies and their silly fancy terms. >"You know, you like quite dashing in that outfit." >Yeah, a stain covered apron over some work clothes. >Dapper as fuck. >"But you know what would look better on you Darling?" >"A tuxedo. You see, I've recently received a large order from minotaurs and I would need more experience with the bipedal body type." >You start packing her order. "Sorry Miss, I don't thi-" >"There's some bits in it for you, if you accept to model for me." >Bits? "When and where?" >"Splendid! You'll just have to come over my temporary residence in Canterlot tonight." >"We'll get you out of those silly garments and take some measurement." >Her eyes trail down a little as she ends her sentence. >You're pretty sure it's not your waist she wants to 'measure'. >You roll your eyes. "I'll see if I'm free." >You won't be. "Here's your order, that'll be 4 bits." >She floats the bits to you and leaves with her pastry. >You're pretty sure you could see her bite her lips as she turned around.
