Shoplifter

"Wooaaw!"

What's that, I hear somepony screaming out loud. I can hear it. It's really clear even in the middle of the crowded place like this. Yes, somepony in trouble. I need to find the source of that screaming voice. But I need to do something really important now. I can't help that pony. Or else, I'm gonna late.

"Aaaa!"

I hear it again. It's the exactly same voice. I hear that voice screaming out loud multiple times. I want to just ignore the voice. But I can't just ignore that scream. It's just like calling me. Just like that it want me to go there and help whoever it is. Just like it want me to leave it and go help whoever that pony is.

"Please NOOO!"

Alright, I'll go. I use my spell to scan the whole market. Then, I find a pony running from somepony. He's being chased. I believe that's the source of the voice. From that stallion. I use the spell to grow up wing and then fly to the place where the stallion is. Then, I reach him not far from the place where I start. My wing only last for five minutes. So I land in front of the stallion. And the wing disappear in the right time. I can se his face. He's more terrified when I landed in front of him. Just like I'm the part of the pony who was chasing him. He look back for a moment, realizing that the group of ponies that was chasing him is still chasing him, he scream.

"Fine, I surrender! Here." He throw up a bag of bits in front of me. "But please, leave me alone."

"But, I'm here not..." The group of ponies that was after him finally now in front of us. I use the spell to stop them from running.

"Why are you guys chasing him?" I ask.

"Well, because he take stuff from our store without paying." They replied. I can see him trying to reach his bag of bits. But before he reach that bag, I release those ponies and then use my spell again to lock him.

"Is that true that you're shoplifting from their store?" Ask me to that stallion.

"Umm, no." He seems a little nervous. But to make sure he's not lying, I use my spell to read his mind. Then, I find out that he's panic right now. He's thinking what could happen if I know that he's lying. Yes, he's lying.

"Tell me the truth or else," I use the levitation spell to grab my bags and ready to hit his face. "I warn you, this bag is not a normal bag. This bag contains items like itch dust, laughing gas, and other things that mess up with your emotion. If you not tell me the truth, I'll hit you with this bag and all of the stuffs that I mentioned will come out and mess with your body."

After that, he finally want to open his mouth and tell the truth. "Fine, I did that. I'm shoplifting their store, okay. Leave me alone you random unicorn. Are you a police or something?"

"Well, I'm not a police. But shoplifting is not a good thing to do whatever the reason is. You need to pay them for that thing that you steal. You don't want this problem get bigger right? So give them the bits, quick." Then he throw the bag of bits to the bunch of ponies that chase him.

"No, give them nicely." I said. Then, he grab that bag of bits and then give them nicely. "Here." He said. They take the bag. After that, I lift that stallion and then throw him to the lily pond next to me.

"That's the punishment for shoplifting." I said. Then, I use my magic to throw him pebble.

"Thank you so much miss. But, isn't that a little bit too far?" One of the shop owner that chase him ask.

"No, that's the punishment for everypony who did shoplifting. So they will remember not to do shoplifting again in their life." I replied.

"Oh my god, thank you so much miss. I don't know how many times I could say that to you. We'd chased him since morning. We did everything to stop him but he's too fast." Said one of the shopkeeper. "What's your name, young lady?" He ask.

"Mighty Moon, sir. You're welcome." I replied. "But you can call me Miss Klei if you want."

"Okay Miss Klei, here, as my thanks to you." He hoof over some bits to me.

"No thanks. I'm here to help, not for bits. I heard someone need help so I came here to help. But what I found is the pony that I want to help is the one who cause the trouble. So yeah, I'm the one who need to apologize to you guys." I said.

"It's okay Miss Klei. At least you helped us to caught him, it's completely okay." He said. Then, he turn away from me. "C'mon boys, lets back to work."

"Oh yah, if you're busy chasing him? Who keep the store?" I ask before they go.

"Err, nopony. But we'd closed the store before we chase him. So the store is safe." One of them replied. "Once again, thanks Miss Klei!" After that, they walk away from me. I look at the shoplifter guy. He's trying to get out of the pond. I'm kind of feel sorry to him. But in the same time, I feel he deserved it. But I help him get out of the pond. He is an earth pony with yellow coat and blue mane. He's not looks like from poor family or he's poor. But he's pretty small for the size of a stallion.

"Learn your lesson?" I ask.

"Yah, whatever." He reply.

"Well, thanks to you, now I'm late for..." Oh no, I'm completely late. Oh my Celestia, this is really bad. "I gotta go." But I can't just teleport there. I don't know where exactly where it is. So I use the spell to grow up wings but this time, I make this wings last longer. Then, I fly to the sky and go away from there.

I finally arrived. This is horrible. I'm late in my first day. I'm sure I will get punished for this. I walk in. Everypony stare at me. I'm standing here do nothing. I can't do anything else unless apologize to everypony. But if I do, I will be punished. But that's the thing that I should face. But this is my first day. Be punished in the first day is such a shame.

"Why are you standing there, young miss. C'mon, go to your room, prepare to work. We'll start soon." Said one of the pony. Is that mean, I'm not late? Ah, I'm so lucky. I thought I already late. Then, I go to my room then I put my, wait, where's my bag? Oh no, my bag. It contains important things. Oh no, this is terrible. Where's my bag, where's my bag. Oh no, is that stallion steals my bag? Oh no, no, it can't be. I could be fired in the first day. This is even worse than late. This is extremely terrible. I run out from my room and my work place. Then somepony stop me. It's that shoplifter stallion. He's carrying my bag.

"Miss, you forgot your bag."
