Prologue: Getting the job

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

I, after a long time at an art gallery showcasing my work to get absolutely 0 bits, walked to my house in Fillydelphia. Right before I turned the doorknob to get in, I noticed a note stuck right on the door.

Notice of Termination:

Dear Harmonic Brush,

This letter serves as a note of termination upon your property in the Township of Upper Derby, Delamare Country, Fillydelphia, Pennsylvaneigha.

Your property will be terminated unless you pay the bank of Fillydelphia back the following dues:

150 bits

My eyes widened as I read the number. Sure, for some ponies that's a breeze, but my art career was failing, and I earned nothing from it.

"Well," I said to my as I twisted the door knob open. "Time to search for a job, I guess."


"Find a job yet?" Lunar asked his marefriend, me, over the phone.

"Nope," I answered setting the phone down beside me on the desk setting it on speaker phone.

"Well, I found something that meets your criteria," He said to me, a tone that was a mix of being annoyed and peppiness.

"And what is that?" I asked in an angered tone.

"A job," He answered. "Here, I'll give you the application, heading to your house now."

Lunar Moonlight hung up the phone with a beep.

"Low battery," I mumbled to myself as I walked to where my electrical ports usually were.

"Of course," I grumbled.

"Oh no. They're missing," I said sarcastically before rolling her eyes.


There was a knock on my door, so I went and answered it. Of course, it was my coltfriend with the application.

He tossed the newspaper to me before quickly galloping off before I could say "Thanks" or even "Hi."

"Weird."


"Ok, so why do you want this job?" the Manager of Applejack's Acres asked me, her eyes scanning the application then back up at myself.

"Well, I need money, that's about it," I answered.

"Eh, good enough for me. You're hired!" the Manager yelled. "You start tomorrow, ok cupcake?"

I nodded my head before heading outside. Now that I got the job, there was, something about this place that gave me the creeps. Maybe it was the animatronic's huge eyes, or the fact that they never blinked, but there was something.
