Bacon Pone, awfully mock-able, yet that was her name. A pony with a name such as that would surely never find the perfect match. The sadness filled the mare's heart every night as she looked across her bed to see no special somepony beside her. Alone.

But yet. Her situation dawned on others also, and it was because of this awful feeling of being forever alone, that Bacon would meet her match of love. Yet she wouldn't know it at first, Bacon would soon be happy. All she had to do, was find them.

***

Egg awoke from her bed and glanced at her clock. 4 hours of sleep. That was all she could get after her job was done for the previous night. And yet despite working hard on the files needed for the next day, she would have to come into work at the same time as usual. 6AM.

Arising finally from her chamber - as she wished to catch a few extra minutes - egg rushed into the traditional morning routine she would do every day. Shower, teeth, dress. Not always in that order. Never in 2 years, apart from non-working days, has she ever been able to catch breakfast before leaving for work. It's not that important to her anyway, she always had to eat it with the 3 dusty seats which came with the set anyway - which brought too many saddened memories to mind.

***

Bacon had no job, unless pleading was West Canterlot Productions material one day. Of course she had a job, hell she could afford a house. But she couldn't keep living in the past as an explorer, they had to let her go. 'You are not strong enough for adventures, accept it,' she thought to herself. Her other side had other things to say, 'It was one time, so they use that as an excuse to get rid of me. They've wanted to do that for years!' It was only recently her crusading had come to an end, so she had no idea how to react to it still. Today was the day though, today she was to confidently enter Talil Enterprises' local offices and apply for a job there.

After dressing professionally, Bacon left her house to the positive-feeling town before her. The town of Ponyville. She detailingly scanned the environment around, as usual it was in the middle of calm and busy. People everywhere, but all just enjoying the sun out today. Heat was the first thing the light brown pony felt as the sun's rays shined down on her multicolored mane. It was glorious to say the least. Today she felt a change in the wind, a positive vibe all around her. The mare's hooves started strolling to the offices,

"I have the guts, I have the qualifications, and I am ready for this." she kept stating to herself as the building drew nearer.

***

Egg was a mess, it was as if she was just in a near death experience. The usual white mane she had was still in bits and not in any way a style fit for the offices,

"Stupid job causing me to lose precious sleep time." she moaned to herself soon after yawning loudly in the town square of Ponyville. Not only was Egg sick of her job's time issues, but now she was getting agitated by smaller and smaller things. For example, why did she need to dress professionally when she is in an office building? Not many ponies see her during work hours, well, not as many as when outside. And besides, many ponies do not wear clothes in the day anyhow. Literally, clothes for a job such as this is pointless.

Egg stared reluctantly at the massive words written above her place of work, "Talil Enterprises". She sighed,

"Just keep it together Egg, only two more days until the weekend. A whole 48 hours, well...around that time at least, of me time is ahead if you can work for just today and Friday." Egg then trotted half-confidently into her job's workplace and then went through the usual routine to get to floor 4, where she worked - and where unfortunately her boss was situated.

***

Bacon was now starting to lose confidence slightly, what if they would deny her over her stupid surname? What if she is the exception and they won't hire her? Bacon's thoughts of the bad scenarios were interrupted by the mare at the reception desk, who asked politely if she can help her. Bacon viewed the girl's face, a false smile clearly embedded between her cheeks.

"I'm here for a job interview, Bacon Pone?"

After the receptionist let her through, clearly holding in laughter, Bacon took the lift to floor 4, where the interview was to take place. She was now getting much more nervous than before, her forehead sweating as the lift ascends further and further. As the doors opened to the mostly empty level, Bacon immediately worked the assumption she was early and proceeded to the meeting located on the other side of the office blocks.

***

Egg reached the fourth floor, to see the sight of many ponies busy at work. Those minutes in bed earlier cost her, as she had just realized, Egg was late. Again. Bad luck was surely what she was born for, as to reach her desk Egg would have to go past her boss. The possibilities of what might happen didn't turn out too well in her head, as she started to walk at an alarming pace through her usual path. There was no other way to go other than past that door.

Egg was now approaching her boss's room, she had to run...or at least speed trot. To give luck a chance she lowered and covered her head with some paper on a nearby desk with her hooves in hopes that no-one would suspect her if she didn't stop. Her mane was sweating, but then her head felt a sudden burst of pain. The pain caused her to stumble backwards onto her hind legs, she could only hear mumbling from inside the office - even with the door that had just struck her open. But visually she could see a light brown pony looking into the office with a confident grin on their face. The grin drops though as soon as the pony notices the accident she caused when turning her head.

The mare runs over to Egg, who at this point is sick of her constant instances of bad coincidences and luck.

"Are you okay?" the pony asks as she held out a hoof to assist Egg.

"Yes, I'm just peachy," she sarcastically replies as she is helped up. She continued, "Do me a favor? Please don't open doors so vigo-." Egg interrupted herself as she stares in awe at the now much clearer pony in front of her. Her light brown coat felt stunning to Egg as she spotted the gorgeously colored bacon mane she had over her head. She was just able to make out the cutie mark on the mare's flank, a heart shape of bacon stripes. 'Who would've thought Earth ponies could be this...cute?' She thought euphorically. She felt really excited just staring at the mare. Her heart pounding. Anypony else would immediately start questioning if they were gay by this point, but Egg at this moment in time couldn't care. She was hypnotized by this pony's beauty.

Bacon was getting slightly anxious about the mare staring at her right now. Her eyes in what seemed to be disbelief. But yet she didn't complain, as he felt she was slightly cute looking in an outfit like that. Thoughts did cross her mind about this being a girl she was curious in, but Bacon quickly threw away these questions and statements. Her white fur was adding to Bacon's feelings about this pony whom she knew nothing about. She knew no-one with a blonde-colored mane and tail before, but she felt...attracted to it. She could clearly see the cutie mark situated on her posterior. It was what seemed to be a black stove, making it clear as days on the earth pony's coat.

Bacon for a moment became lost into the mare in front of her, she too was still the same. It was at this point Bacon decided to break the silence between them, as it must've been distracting to the workers and it felt embarrassing slightly. Bacon coughed, which broke the trance of the pony who stood before her. Followed quickly by,

"Um...hey. I'm...uh," it didn't take long for the cheeks of Bacon to turn to the same color of their name. "um. B-Bacon." A reply came, "Bacon...ba-...Bacon what?" The question was filled with wonder as the pony was acting as if she was 'out of it'. Bacon began to feel embarrassed, she already received a snigger from the stallion in the cubicle to the left of her, who also happened to be her new boss if she was given a job.

"B-Bacon...Pone."

Egg was snapped back into position,

"Bacon...Pony?" she asked with a slight bad taste in her mouth.

"Bacon Pone, P O N E." the mare in front of her replied, their cheeks red with what seemed to be disgust. Egg was shocked,

"I'm...Egg. Egg Pone." she was scared she had fallen for a family member. Egg visually spotted the same feeling on Bacon's face, one of shock and disgust. "Are we...related...by any chance?" Egg reluctantly asks.

"I don't...think so." states the newly introduced Bacon Pone before her, still embarrassed of the similarity of their surname which in itself is awful. Egg is slightly worried, but decides to ignore this for now. 'I've met somepony new and I must know more about them. Maybe we could answer some questions over lunch.' she thinks.

"Wanna discuss this at my lunch break?" She asks more confidently, as she is shouted at by her boss to enter his office.
