PAYDAY: Equestrian Heists

PROLOGUE

Pulling back the slide of the pistol the large vault doors begin to open, Twilight was breathing heavy behind the mask and her heart was beating fast. The police were screaming outside. Everything had gone so good up too this point. Sunset loaded her large shotgun as Pinkie Pie and Rarity continued to pull open the large vault door. The police were moving in, still yelling and pleading for them to drop their weapons. Twilight looked over to her friends and nodded as she set her pistol on one of the cubical desks that were outside the vault. Taking her M308 off her back sliding a clip inside and sliding a bullet into the chamber. The vault was now open and Rarity rushed inside throwing all the bags on the ground as she began her work.

"Open fire!" the police had waited long enough and switched to aggressive actions. Bullets began to fly. Twilight pulled the trigger of her weapon and continued to do so to keep the police from flooding into the vault area. Sunset was moving closer from the right with her shotty.  Two S.W.A.T. units were about to enter but were intercepted by the Unicorn, slamming the but of her gun into one of the stallions face. She pulls the pump action and a shell flies out falling to the floor. Twilight looked through the scope of her weapon, her hearing getting muffled as she continued to pull the trigger. That was when Pinkie Pie screamed, just as Twilight's first clip ran out.

"What the hell is that!! It's coming this way!" Pinkie pointed out to one of the windows, walking towards them was a stallion covered in armor, the stallion levitated an automatic shotgun. Sliding the large clip into the shotgun the stallion turns towards the mares.

"The bulldozer unit has arrived!! Woohooo, lets get em~!" One of the police units screamed as the bullets continued to fly. This could have gone better.

BEGINING

Twilight stared across the counter at the stallion who was not sure on what he wanted for coffee. Every time he spoke he would quickly change his mind and start thinking again. Twilight rested her head on her hoof as her elbow pressed against the counter. She was the best at what she did, she took the orders and even made the coffee. She did more than she was recommended, from taking orders to cleaning the entire shop Twilight did her best to get a good paycheck. However the only thing she couldn't stand was a pony like the stallion she was waiting on now. A pony who forgot to think while on the car ride to the local coffee/latte shop. Lowering her hoof she clicks her tongue on the roof of her mouth.

"Yeah, whatever it is your having. Large, medium, or small?" she says blowing a bubble with her bubble gum soon afterwards. "Cause its twelve in the afternoon and I go home in an hour so...." She spoke again and yawned. She had been there for hours and would like to get this moving so she could go home and relax with her brother spike.

"Uh, yeeah, I would like the" he stops and rubs his chin shaking his head once again looking at the menu above Twilight head, "No, maybe not, give me a moment I almost have it" Twilight let out a soft sigh remembering the past where life was simple for her, it was easier to live, when Alicorns's ruled over Equestria with a magical balance. Ever sense the new law, the law that kicked the magical winged ponies out of rule Twilight had it rough, she had to work and her horn and wings was not enough to get her anywhere. She was now like everypony else.

"Right, just ring the bell when you finally find what it was that you were craving." Twilight says undoing her shirt slightly as she walks into the back of the store. There was no door to separate employees and the customers. The only thing that kept what was in the back room a secret was the fact the door was facing a wall, not the front lobby. Entering the back room which was small and had sinks and counters and a small fridge on the counter Twilight took a seat around the white card table that was back there. Leaning back she pulls out her cell phone and scans through her messages. "Oh! I have no messages, What a surprise" she giggles closing her phone, it was only a simple flip phone and it even had an antenna. Twilight's horn lightly began to glow as a wallet came out of her pocket. It was thin as she let it drop on the table. She frowned at the very depressing sight, she loved working here but the pay was horrible. She barely could survive with the money she was making off of working here. Twilights manager slowly walked into the back taking off an apron.

"Twilight, sweetheart, could you please do some of the baking for awhile. The cheese cake is going fast and I need a break"  the mare smiled at the alicorn and Twilight slowly got out of her seat and nodded grabbing the apron and putting it on.

"Of course, that won't be an issue boss, happy to see the cheese cake idea is running smoothly. Allot of ponies are requesting it from what I have seen. That and the front counter looks more inviting with all the cakes and brownies" Twilight walked past the manager and out to the front, the stallion from before was actually still trying to figure out what he wanted. His friend behind him getting very impatient and one was already leaving from the wait. Twilight smiled and did her best to keep it as she walked over to the counter picking up cake sheets to bring into the back so she could make more food. The atmosphere was bright and happy as ponies mingled in their seats with one another. Like everyday the place was safe and worry free, Twilight was the only one worried however because today was payday and she was always worried to see the lack of pay she got every week. "Maybe today will be different, Twilight" she said to herself with a long sigh afterwards. The time on the cloak kept ticking until it was time for the alicorn to collect her check and head home.

"Twilight? Twilight Darling!" Rarity leans on the light post outside the shop, Twilight levitating her check into her saddlebag. The white beauty had a fur scarf on, it was from the times when she could afford it. "Your an hour late, you got out of work an hour ago. You have to stop pushing yourself so much, there is money elsewhere"

"Why do you suspect my pay is bad? Maybe it is different this time, Rarity" Twilight sighed shaking her head as she pulled out a book and began to read it as she walked side by side with her Unicorn friend.

"Pay doesn't just change, especially if your talking about that coffee shop" Rarity shivers thinking about the place. It was dirty and she just didn't like it there, maybe if they sold tea she would be more interested in visiting from time to time. "Well don't feel too bad, I only made twenty dollars today selling one dress. I only sold one dress today, Twilight. Equestria is a crime against fashion these days" Rarity beamed at Twilight hoping for a positive response but the alicorn just stared off into her book with a blank stare.

"I only got one twenty five, less than what i usually get." closing  her book slowly she makes it disappear with a flash of magic from her horn. "I'm worried something is wrong"

"Now darling, I am sure everything is fine. There is a lack of money everywhere. Everything is going to be just fine i promise you" Rarity beamed a smile to her alicorn friend. "How about I bring you to the Tastehoof Club tonight, you need to relax, maybe drinks and stallions will clear your mind"

"Rarity, I don't need any of that, I am just a little stressed is all. No stallion is going to make that go away. Not even alcohol" Rarity stopped in front of Twilight and began to shake her head, placing a hoof on the mares lips to silence her Rarity smiles again batting her eyelashes.

"Now now, don't be so modest. It will be fun, I promise you"
