It turns out Polly lived in mansion outside of MaInhattan.  She got rich through her world-wide pitstop chain,  which is basically an equestrian equivalent of a gas station . She's also works as a model.I told her a little about myself as well, she seemed to give me pity.

"Bobby,  could you write your name on this piece of paper so I can remember it?"

"Here", I said and I then wrote it down.  By and by, we made it to mansion .

‘’Now, what do you think of the place dear’’.

"It's amazing!," I exclaimed. The mansion was very big. It had a huge library,an indoor pool and a golden staircase .

"Miss Pinch,who have you picked"?, says a stallion.

''Oh,he's our guest’

"Snob...",she looks at the paper  "Bobby, this is Grape Juice",

"How do you do"?, I said with a smile while also holding out my hand.

  "Great, another person to clean after", said the stallion.

"Oh, I won't be that much trouble’’, I tried to reassure him.

"Yeah, I wish" the stallion said and left.

  ‘’Lobby’’?

"Um, Its Bobby, but if you want to call me Bob thats fine." I replied.

"Ok whatever it is. You must be very tired, I bet."

‘’Not really’’

"Of course you are, you're just excited. Could you please go to bed."

"Okay, thats fine by me", I said.

"Good, you can sleep on my bed".

"Night Polly".

"Night Monkey

As I got into the bed, for some reason, a weird thought popped in my head that I should leave.  I tried to push that thought out of my head, but thought kept coming back in my head.  I could not get it to stop saying,  'get out here and go back home .get out of here and go back home .because theres probably danger." After while I came to the conclusion that was my anxiety talking and soon I fell asleep.

                                                                                                  --;--

Sometime later I heard a someone yelling at me to get up .I soon slowly woke up.

‘’WAKE UP ,WAKE UP YOU LITTLE MULE!! ’’. It was Polly ,''Good you're awake".

''What time is it, where am I and why is there a chain around my foot?'' I said.

''Shut up!. and get up you, its time to work.''  She grabs my hand with her ora and drags me down stairs.

''Work on what''?

‘’Your jobs ‘’.

‘’What jobs?’’

''Just do what  Celestia da..''

''Miss Pinch, you probably should explain what's going on. I mean you grabbed him and took him out of bed with no explanation," said Grape Juice.

''Fine", she moans, "You said you need a home and you said?''

''Yah?''

''And you can have that, sort of.''

'What do you mean?''

"Lets just say this is like an apartment, and you need to pay each month or so. Because you are staying here  you have to do something like that.  You have little chores to repay me .

''Like what?''

''Oh nothing much just, doing my taxes, doing all the paperwork, cleaning the house and making the supper.''

''What?! Im not doing all that. Screw this, I'm leaving and find a better place were I don't half to do all that.''. I  started  to head towards the door.

''Oh , can't leave?''

''Why not?''

''Remember that paper I made you sign?''

'Yeah ?'

''Well, that was a contract that states that you are legally my property.  And you can't ever leave me.''

''Wait?,are you saying I'm your slave?

''Oh no no ,no Im saying if you now working for a better time.'' ''The more of the things that you do good you will get to have more benefits more respected and more  love.''

" If I don't do well?''

''You will get a beating and half to sleep in the attic on the floor with no food or water two day. You can't be seen by any pony, because they would be afraid  of you.''

"So what you're saying is…''

''No talking!,To summaries you're my pet monkey and what I want you to do now is dance monkey dance.''
