Anarchy in the Equestrian Nation

I sat in the Founders' Room, the home of three of the most famous Sky Knights in history and their wives, three of the most famous ponies in Equestria. Only one of the knights and his wife was present, however, and I felt rather uncomfortable at the table, under the scrutinizing gaze of Rainbow Dash. Silversix was quiet and reserved, hardly speaking at all, but Rainbow Dash was analyzing me, finding questions to assault me with. I steeled myself as she opened her mouth to ask her first query.

,

"So what school do you go to?"

Simple enough. I thought confidently. "Ponyville High, same as most of the teens in this town."

"Good school. Any friends?" she asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Yeah. A few. There's Vagabond, she's a really cool rocker filly, there's Clockwork and his marefriend Charger, a pair of inventors from the Industrial District of town, there's Manga, this guy who's really into the culture and art of Japony, there's Turntable, a DJ, and up until recently there was my ex-marefriend Black Bell, who I found out recently was cheating on me.

"They sound like nice ponies. So, do you have a job?"

"Yeah. I work as a music store clerk. I've had the past two days off to recover from the whole relationship problem though."

"I see. Do you play any instruments?"

"Well, I can work a synth, but I don't think that counts."

"What does your cutie mark mean?"

"Well, that's kind of a long story." I replied nervously.

"I have time." she said irritably.

"Okay, well if you must know, it symbolizes the ability I have to bring about a revolution. I got it during my worst moment in my life. Did you read about the arsonist trying to burn down La Cienaga a few years ago? That was me, and I am not proud of what I did. I've changed since then."

"So you're a former criminal? That's a little unnerving. Still, I can tell you have good intent. I'll sleep on it and call you in the morning. What's your number?" she asked.

"928-274-7945. Don't call till about seven, I get off work at six-thirty."

"Okay.

When I got home, I collapsed on the couch in a nervous wreck. I was falling in love again, and I wasn't sure if Rainbow Dash would let me date Pitch-Perfect. Clockwork came downstairs and offered to help, but I told him I'd tough it out.

The truth was, I was just hoping I could stay with this filly.
