Set Um Up, And Knock Them Down

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

It's a normal night in southern Manehattan, homeless pony's on the sides of the crumbling street, holding signs for help. Most of the signs ignored by passing more privileged pony's. And homeless pony's, passing homeless pony's. Every pony knows every pony in this part of town. But there is one section of the Southern branch that is far above the other pony's there. Lilly Street, is a merchant strip, at this point it's the only thing that is keeping these streets alive. The rest of the branch of the city droops with depression, and smells of sewer water.But it does have a small fragrance of hope. The ponies living on the streets, and the other pony's helping those ponies, wandering the streets. But in the street there is one pony that wouldn't look out of place except for her appearance under her brown hoodie. Under the hoodie is a white silver coat dotted in dirt, sapphire eyes, and a ruffed sky blue mane and tail, streaked with snow white. The thing that made her odd was the black spots at the tips of her ears, and black spots under her eyes and between, not many ponies in Equestria have that feature. Her cutie mark is a blue heart with white and black on the tips of the heart. The mare was trotting on the sidewalk, a bit of stride in her strut, as well as looking behind her. To make sure no-pony mugs her, it can be very dangerous at night. Because every type of pony on the street knows every other pony on the street, some can get a little greedy. The brown hooded mare was trotting down Lilly street looking for ponies who have taken out their trash. But there was nothing but the usual. The antique shops doors open trying to mousetrap pony's to the police. The local winery still open, for some reason, stupid idea if you ask me they are basically saying rob me I am rich enough to keep going, and the clock tower lights, that bring the city to life. The silver mare was trotting down the street looking for garbage taken out, besides the antique store dump. Nothing good in that one anyway, she spotted a recently opened shop had garbage taken out. Bingo, man it looks like the jackpot, it's the new pawn shop. Mare, bingo sounds fun right now. She thought to herself as she strolled up to the locked dumpster. Quickly, she pulled out two bobby pins and started working on the fairly easy lock. She got it open, and looked inside and saw.... A WATER BOTTLE, half full to. Yes this is good, she put that plus smaller items into her pockets. Didn't even break a bobby pin, she thought. She started trotting off before, her ears perked up, a door opened right behind her. This would be fine except she looked as shady as a thief. A dark gray stallion with a cool blue mane was standing there eye's wide. The silver mare looked to the stallion, and she absolutely ran as fast as she could. The stallion followed suit while yelling.

    "Stop! Stop!" The mare kept running into the alley and took a turn that only some pony familiar with the area would know about. The stallion kept going until he hit a dead end he paced around looking for the admittedly attractive mare. He turned to face outwards towards the end of the street  while being at the end of a dead end he talks in a loud soft voice and says. "I don't want to hurt you," Yeah right like I haven't heard that one before, you probably either want to drug me or worse.... Probably worse. "I just want to know what you were doing back there." The calm mare stood her ground, thinking he was lying. The stallion stood there for a bit, thinking she would reply. No response came  he trotted off to the store at which he resides. The mare heard this and after she heard him far away she came out of which she was hiding. Looking to make sure he was gone, he was and she started to head where she was spending the week. The mare approached a abandon large hotel called the Loca Coca.Well almost abandon, inside the building on the second floor is two ponies waiting, a stallion and a mare. The stallion was wearing a yellow bandana, up against his blue coat, the coat laced with a neon pink and navy blue lollipop, and a pink puffy mane and tail, his mane bangs in front of his horn. And sitting next to the stallion was a pegasus mare, she was a sight to see. She had a sky blue coat, her cutie mark is two silver gears. Her mane pitch black, wavy, and tangled.

    "Hey Níma!" The stallion stood up and trotted over, to the silver mare and said in his deep, scruffy voice.

    "Hey, Snow!" Snow the silver mare, and Níma walked up to each other and gave eachother a hoof bump then simultaneously said.

    "Bulala," Snow gave a good laugh, and noggied his fluffy mane. He seemed content, at this point he was use to it. Snow waked up to the pegasus on the floor and sat next to the pegasus.

    "Hey Broúntzos how are you doing?" The sky blue mare shrugged. She is the most recent addition to the streets, her mother kicked her out and they haven't found her a job yet. Snow still smiling gave a sympathetic look, then ruffled her mane. Broúntzos looking a little happy for the gesture. "Now," Snow continued. " I got some good stuff down at the pawn shop, we can probably go a little off of it." Níma looked ecstatic, Broúntzos gave a small grin. Snow reached into her pocket and pulled out A half full water bottle, a half a sandwich, a candy bar, and slightly rusted pocket knife. Broúntzos took the pocket knife in hopes that she can fix it up. Níma took the rest and put it in his saddle bag. After all the hustle the three ponies snuggled up by the fire, slowly but surely the three dozed off to sleep. Leaving the day and heading to tomorrow.
