"Why are you in that box?" >"Because I'm sick and poor, sir. This is my home." >You frown then, watching her stare dejectedly into a puddle from the storm that was just beginning to pass. >Next to her box is a small sign made of card board that reads “will do anything for bits” >"Did you... Want to make a purchase?" "Are you propositioning me?" >She looks back up to you, bewilderment in her eyes. >"Y-yes?" >You shake your head gently and give her a disappointed 'tsk, tsk, tsk.' before kicking her sign over. >The cardboard hastily absorbs the puddle she'd been staring into, hopelessly smearing the ink >She doesn't react beyond a small whimper and a little scoot further into her box as you walk away. >You think about the poor pony in her little box for a long while afterwards. >You get a late lunch at the Sugarcube Corner, dealing with Pinkie Pie’s usual antics, and grab an ice cream cone >You're strolling back through the park, on your way home. >The ice cream cone in your hand is four scoops of brightly colored, sprinkle coated diabetes. >Something possess you to stop by the little mare in her box again. "What's the most humiliating thing they've paid you to do?" >She flinches at the sound of your voice, startled. >She scowls up at your indifferent green face. >"None of your business." >You remember that her sing had said “anything” >Reaching into your pocket, you produce 3 bits and drop them between her hooves. >She stares at the coins a long while before taking them. >"Some mares paid me once to..." >Her voice trails off as she relives the memories, but you say nothing. >You simply lick at your ice cream, you're a pretty patient guy. >"They paid me to use a strap on to rut them." >Mid lick, you stop. "That's it?" >"No." >She swallows then, steeling herself. >"They shared me, used me like a toy. An entire week of Estrus, being passed from house to house." She looks up at you, expecting some reaction but finding none. >"I-It was my season too." >Oh, didn't expect that. >"When I... When I climaxed accidentally they would punish me for ruining the fantasy that they'd paid good bits for." >Her jaw is tight, brow furrowed. Tears cling to the corners of her eyes as she relives it all. >"The worst of it was on the final day. The unicorn used her magic to pin me down and lock me into a stockade. I don't know where the buck she'd gotten it from..." >The tears start to fall. >You remain silent and let her try to compose herself, and watch as she fails. >"They dragged me down to the Everfree. Apparently they'd invited a select few individuals to some kind of orgy to end Estrus with a bang." >She smiles at her dumb pun, you do as well. Her tears don't stop, however >"They'd brought me there to be used as an object. They fixed the stockade to a stake in the ground and invited any of the stallions present to use me as they pleased" >She sniffles, clenching her eyes shut as she wipes her tears away and takes a deep, quivering breath A few long moments of emotional silence pass by while you simply enjoy your ice cream and wait. >You are not sure what the ending of this story is but you can tell it was not a good one for her… >Finally, without looking up at you she asks, "You're not just going to leave it be, are you?" "No." >"Buck you." "Not what I paid for." >She angrily wipes her eyes again before pressing on, voice thick with emotion… >"Not one. Not one stallion touched me that night. I had to listen to them have their way with every other pony there while they laughed at me. The poor, pathetic freak. All night I had to listen to them laugh at me and buck behind my back." >She's speaking through clenched teeth now, fresh tears running down her face in glistening rivulets. >"I climaxed to the sound of it. I was humiliated. I wanted to die, but I couldn't stop myself from having an orgasm as I listened to the other mares squealing." >This was not the ending you had imagined…and it made you feel more uncomfortable than you imagined it would, but you kept a plain face "Why didn't they take you?" >She looks up, surprised by your small frown and sad tone of voice. >"Don't make me say it..." >Once more, you wait. Patience sure does come in handy sometimes. >With a sigh she pushes herself up onto her hooves and scoots out of her box, eyes closed. >"Who would want to rut a blank flank?" >A quick glance confirms that she did indeed lack a Cutie Mark. >She was obviously in her early twenties and it was certainty unusual for her not to have one >"My whole life it's been the same, I'm a freak. Even now only the most desperate stallions will buy me." >”Even my childhood friends have Cutie marks and have abandoned me…” "Why not get a job?" >"What job am I supposed to get? I have no talent!" >You squat down, making yourself eye level with her. "You have no Cutie Mark," you correct her. "Which is a trait that most species seem to get along fine without." >She opens her mouth to protest, but seems incapable of finding the words. >Straightening back up, you take one last lick of your ice cream cone before holding it out to her. "You always have choices, you're just making bad ones right now." >She simply stares at you, tear stained eyes wide with puzzlement. >She takes the ice cream cone, struggling to hold it awkwardly with her front hooves. >”Why are you doing this?” She asks, seemingly unable to understand your harshness quickly followed by acts of kindness >You stand there and ponder her question >Truth be told, you didn’t understand yourself… >You just saw her in her little box, looking like she had no life in her at all, and you had to act >Unusual for you, to say the least! >She licks the ice cream, just as you were a moment ago, waiting for you to answer. >It seems you are not the only one who can be patient. “I am not entirely sure… I just saw a bit of myself in you I guess...” >You think back to when you first arrived in Equestria almost three years ago >To say you had a hard time in the beginning would be an understatement! >You were initially mistrusted and hated by the general pony community. >It didn’t help that you spoke different languages. >Finally, Purplesmart, as you knew her back then, helped you to learn the language and things got a little better. >The ponies were still apprehensive, but they were coming around >Than you met Princess Celestia and Princess Luna… >They were very cautious at first, going so far as to lock you up in the dungeons of Canterlot until they were convinced you were trustworthy >It took a month of this, but you were able to win them over >You were returned to Ponyville and were greeted by your only friends in existence at the time, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle >You refused help form either of them when it came to housing and chose to live on the outskirts of the Everfree Forest >You had little luck when it came to jobs, but you saved up every bit you earned from the odd jobs you did until you had a stroke of luck that on even Celestia herself could predict… >You met Vinyl Scratch, and you two hit it off immediately! >You were always a kinda chill guy which seemed to compliment her insane party going nature >After a while of awesome friendship, she asked you some personal questions >”What do you do for work Anon?” She asked one day at lunch “I actually don’t have a regular job I just do whatever I can” You quietly admitted >She looks at you incredulously, “And you didn’t think to ask for a job?!?!” >After that she hired you on as her personal assistant which paid quiet well >When she heard you were homeless not a week after that she was even angrier! >She insisted on helping you have a house built and contacted a fan of hers who did contracting and would help. >They had the house built in two months flat >Fucking magic… >Now you are the security advisor for Vinyl and help her keep her concerts under control >You snap back from your little reminiscing session and notice the ice cream you had given her was almost gone >You must have been standing there for a hot minuet >”Are you ok” she asked, some concern touching her face “Yeah, just remembering some old stuff…” >She finishes the ice cream cone off and picks up the bits you had given her >”Here… I will give you three bits to hear about that stuff!” >You stare at the bits for a moment before laughing and pocketing them “Hehehe, sure, I can deal with that! What’s your name little lady?” >She looks down at the ground before saying, “Scootaloo…” >You remember hearing that name before but you can’t place it. “Well Scootaloo, my story is much longer than yours, hows about you come back to my house and I can tell you my story in comfort?” >You say this with a completely straight face and she nods >From inside her box she pulls out a scooter that looks to be a few sizes too small >Not waiting for any other answer, you take off at a brisk pace with Scootaloo following behind
