It was dark, cold, scary and windy. I stumbled along the cold and unforgiving concrete of Manehaten, the wind nipping at my whole body. I had waited for a whole day for mommy and daddy to come back. I wanted to find a warmer place to wait than the park, so I walked. I shivered in fright and from the cold as I continued. I looked around to see a dumpster, it wasn't all that smelly and had great coverage from the wind and snow. I took the cardboard from around me and sheltered myself even more, the streetlight gave out no longer giving light. I whispered a goodnight to myself and drifted away to sleep.
I woke to someone throwing a can at me, I looked up at them as they scoffed in disgust. I decided to move on from my little home, to find some good food to eat. I signed as my stomach growled, my light gray coat icky from the dumpster. My maroon mane wasn't in any better shape either, I picked up my pace as I felt fatigue starting to lace up my body. I groaned in discomfort as I fell down, knocking quite a couple other ponies as well. "Hey watch where you are goin' pipsqueak!" A passerby yelled as he threw a donut at my face. I greedily ate up the donut, not leaving a single sprinkle behind. I licked my lips feeling energy slowly sealing back into my body, I decided to be more observant looking around for my next victim. I was only in second grade but I was smart for my age, I spotted somepony on a bike with 3 huge loafs of bread. I decided to go for it and used my telekinesis to float the loaves out of the basket. No one noticed as I slowly left with the bread, happily chomping on it as I walked. 'I don't know why adults say stealing is wrong, it's fantastic!' Since it looked like it was around 9:30 I decided to find a way to store this food so I could collect more. I looked around and saw an older mare looking away from her huge bag. I decided to make a run for it, I ran past the mare focusing on the bag as I ran away. I heard a couple of shouts and I looked behind. The mare caught me and was currently chasing me, I turned back around and went for the crowded walk way. I weaved back and forth in the crowd, making sure I didn't attract to much attention. I shoved the bread in side the bag as I ran, making the hardest turns I could to escape the mare. I found myself a dark alley and celebrated, I actually lost her! I heard someone clear their throats, I slowly turned behind me towards the darkest part of the alley. I saw a jet black unicorn mare with a fairly big cloak on, she walked closer to me as I stood my ground.
"Hey kid. Guessing by that jig you did, you stole that stuff didn't ya'." I paused at her words dropping the bag and nodding slowly.
"Well what if I told ya' there are people willing to pay for your skills. Even willing to house, feed, and pay you for one job. All you got to do is come with me and I will show you how to steal like a pro. It already seems to be in your blood." Her words seemed to good to be true, I furiously nodded. She took her hood off revealing her midnight blue boyish haircut, smiling she levitated my new bag and led me to my new life.
9 Years Later
I trotted around in my long glittering Snow White dress, keeping a close eye on the guards and host sipping the complimentary wine. "Magic make sure you knock the lights out we will handle security. Get the target and we will be dying rich."
"Heh. You can count of that Midnight just make sure I have at least 20 seconds of escape time." I spoke into the hidden ear piece, I made sure to cover that ear again with my long hair. I downed the rest of my wine getting quickly to work, I went in the directions of the bathroom and quickly made my way to the control room of the museum. The artifact we were obtaining was an old diadem, one that belonged to my client's family before it was stolen. I love irony, Midnight fed me directions as I snuck along the walls slinking in the shadows. I loved my life now, after Midnight saved me she trained me nonstop. I don't complain the training is what has made me so unstoppable and wanted in many parts of Equestria. I peaked into the control room window checking the room out, the tech was simple and there were no guards. I laughed as I dashed inside rigging up a blackout, quickly changing out of my dress as well. I slammed the button as I turned on my night vision goggles and ran towards the target room. I kicked and knocked out several guards on my way, when I got to the room I received the all clear from Midnight. I hummed as I secured the diadem in my pack, my black tight suit keeping me shielded from prying eyes. I decided to use the back door as I ran through the huge museum, hearing the guards trying to turn everything back on the calm the frightened guests. I paused right outside the museum and got my spray paint, I painted a whip and crop crossing making two lines in the star. I finished the star and put a circle around it, dealing the deal my trade mark tag. I poofed myself inside the van next to Midnight in the passenger seat.
"So did you get it, please say that somewhere in your perfect wavy mane you have it." Midnight exaggerated as we drove away, I laughed and unzipped my small saddle pack showing the Ruby and Sapphire diadem. Midnight whooped as we drove off to our clients house, ready to take in our loot of 10 million each.
Time skip
"Oh my gosh I knew we could pull it off but I can't believe we just pulled it off!" Midnight exclaimed as she dramatically flopped on a couch in our hide out.
"I can't believe they pained us both in cash, which reminds me you have to help me bring it all into the bunker!" I said heaving two heavy bags of the money with me, at least 15 more bags to carry left in the van.
"Of course Mistress Magic, I will carry your bags inside your glorious castle." Midnight finished with a bow making us erupt with giggles. Midnight really did more than feed and teach me, she became the older fun and strict sister I ever wanted and needed. After we took all the bits inside we decided to discuss what we wanted to do with it all. Putting it in a bank was a little too risky for wanted mares, spending it all would be reckless, keeping it in a vault to never be touched was pointless. I sighed curling up a bit on the couch, looking at my blank flank. Even though I found something I loved it wasn't my special talent.
"Hey Midnight, I don't think I want to be doing this anymore. I love this job and being with you but this isn't my special talent. How about we split the money equally and meet up every once in a while. I promise I won't leave you hanging, I just need to find my special talent." I finished looking up with pleading eyes. I did love my life now but there was something missing, I would miss Midnight greatly but I would visit her.
"Sure. I won't hold you hostage, I will stay in this job you find your true passion." Midnight said, bringing Mr to hug my mentor.
"Thank you! I will repay you, I promise." I teared up as Midnight sniffled, we hugged until I had to pack which I admit was a while.

Chapter 2: "So Which Ones Are the Lucky Foals?"
It took a while to find something I felt like I really wanted to do. But I think I may have found the right place: The Equestria Slave Society. It was a really black market society, just my kind of society. Thankfully because it is a slave society I can buy my own slave, how amazing is that! I made sure I took as many bits as I thought buying a slave would cost, if there was a sale I would definitely take it. My saddle bags were heavy with bits as I trotted down the streets of Manehattan. I did the secret code in my head every second as I approached the door, I gave it 7 knocks before saying the code.
"the minors always need a master to guide them"
And with those words I was in, the dark halls gracing my view as I walked on. Soon I reached a door that I opened with my magic, I took a deep breath as I entered the lit room full of ponies. Some were dragging their slaves on leashes others walked around with their bags full. I hummed a bit before walking the the desk in the center of the room, a bright blue unicorn mare was shuffling with some papers.
"Hello, I would love to be directed to the slave auctions and sales." I said as the mare looked up at me, she hummed and pointed to a black door. I promptly thanked her before trotting over to the door, I just hoped the bits I had were enough even though it was only a 15th of all the money I had. Once I opened the door I was greeted by an orange and red mare she was dressed in a blue scarf with a sapphire pendant and a tail ring with Phoenix feathers attached, this mare was obviously an important one.
"Why hello Misty isn't it, please follow me dear. We were expecting your visit I hope we can find you the right slaves. My name is Scarlet Aventurine, and welcome to The Equestria Slave Society. I hope you brought a couple bits because even though you get at least half off for each purchase, things may still cost a lot. Now what kind of slave would you like?"
"Well thank you Ms. Aventurine and as for a slave, I don't know. But I am sure all of your slaves here are fantastic." I complimented, Ms. Aventurine looked pleased as I finished.
"Oh please call me Scarlet, and if you would like I can walk you through this process. Being new here can be difficult especially when buying a slave. So if you would follow me we are heading into the mare section." We turned a corner in the long hall way to a door that opened to a long room, it had a hospital kind of feel, with a hot pink trim complimenting the white walls. Along the walls were big cages, a few were on pedestals some had multiple mares some only had one. At each cage there was a well dressed business pony with a blue vest, saying auction prices or trying to attract potential buyers. Which wasn't hard the room was bustling with ponies of each race and gender.
"So look around I will be at the door incase you need me. Have fun!" With that Scarlet left me to look at the mares in the cages, I felt a smile tugging at my lips. One could say I had a power complex, some might go far as to say I am a megalomaniac. 'One of the main reasons I came here I guess.' I thought as I approached the first cage this one had a bunch of bat pony mares, each a dark shade of color exept for their eyes that shined like a normal ponies, except for the slits in their eyes. None really appealed to me and I moved onto the next bunched cage. This one had a bunch of crystal ponies each of their coats were like dull crystal their manes and eyes droopy and depressing. I raised an eyebrow at one of them her coat was slightly shiny, like she enjoyed and disliked this at the same time. I scoffed as I moved to the next, in this cage had an enraged Pegasus mare. She had a light pink mane and mint green coat, she constantly writhed in her bindings trying to get out. This cage had a little clipboard of information about the mare.

I hummed at the information, wondering where the little one went seeing as they kept her name on the info clip. I moved to the next cage, this one had 6 mares. They looked like Equestria's saviors exept it was like they swapped colors, I chuckled at the recolored mares. They had info clips to but I moved on eager to browse, the next cage was full of unicorns. These mares were wearing clothing that made them more appealing, but they all had crestfallen expressions on their faces. The next cage had an assortment of beautiful mares that had excellent manes. I looked around at the cages each having a different assortment of mares most of them were very pretty but all had sour faces or ones filled with rage. I tsked and walked back to Scarlet, dislocating myself from the crowd.
"Didn't find anything you liked I see. Well that's ok let's move onto Stallions, be warned though some still have the audacity to rebel their masters. The nerve!" Scarlet exclaimed in slight disgust, I nodded as we entered another long hospital like room, this time with a bold blue trim. Scarlet stayed by the door as I ventured in the room, this room had less buyers and cages. You could tell that some of them were related to the mares in the other room. I looked around and noticed most of them looked either mad or dead inside. I quickly walked back to Scarlet, sighing as I realized I might be going back home empty hooved.
"You have a wonderful assortment of mares and stallions but I don't think I find their attitudes all to pleasing." I sighed to Scarlet, in return she gave me a soft smile.
"Now now darling! Don't get so sad so soon, I have plenty more slaves for sale at my establishment. Now come we are going into the filly and colt section! Don't worry after that we have other species here to just incase you weren't looking for a pony slave." Scarlet said her voice sweet and concise.
I felt my spirits lift up as we walked as I looked down the hall I could see that there were many corners that went to a different section of the slave sale hall. I was baffled to say the least but covered it up as we turned a corner and opened a door, this room was quite big, it could have been the fact that almost nopony else was here. Or the cages were smaller, either way I felt my spirits lift as I looked around, the fillies and colts were just as gorgeous as the mares and stallions. They had a youthful spark in their eyes that made them stand out to me, each of them also had name tags.
As I looked around I saw a beautiful light blue colt, his mane shimmered with different shades of sapphire. He stared back at me with his big light green eyes, I knew I would want him. I made sure to remember him as I looked around a bit more, my eyes landed on a mint green filly in the next cage over. She had turquoise hooves that faded as her legs connected to her body, she also had a light pink mane with a hot pink bow. Her name tag had Shy Alloy, I could see why she was called that she made herself smaller as I looked at her. Her wings tightly clasped to her body as she looked around in her shared cage. I turned to look at the other cages some of the foals came closer to the cage fronts while others went to the back like Shy Alloy. One that caught my eye was a very small unicorn coat was a light gray but her mane looked like a blue nebula. The filly next her had long white hair with pastel pink and blue streaks, her coat was a very light periwinkle.
There were also two stallions that looked like they swapped colors. One's mane was rainbow and dark blue coat he was a unicorn. The other had a dark blue mane with a blue coat his feathers were tinted with the colors of the rainbow. I knew the foals I wanted, I just hopped I had enough bits.
"Scarlet I think I found the ones! Oh I just hope I have enough to pay you." I exclaimed as Scarlet trotted closer, a broad smile on her face
"Now that is wonderful! So which ones do you want, also just because you seem so excited about them I will let you bundle them unicorns, pegasi, and earth ponies alike. So which ones are the lucky foals?"
