Welcome to Manehatten. Today, Collector is having a garage sell and one mare that visiting Manehatten likes this garage sell. Meet Royal Ribbon a mare from Canterlot. She is a very rich pony. How did she get all her money? Well her mother and father were con artist's. Royal Ribbon was royalty thanks to her parents money but in reality she got her money from stealing. A garage sell that has many collectibles is like heaven to her. She was rich, the way she stole was simple. Look around find some valuables, hide them in her saddlebag, look for something worthless, pay about 500 bits for it and make a huge profit on what she stole. This has happened many times, right Flim and Flam?

"We've sold lots of things and we've seen ponies that try to steal all the time. They give us some bits but we also check them before they leave because they could be trying to steal them, right Flam?"

"Heck yeah Flim you're right. It's happened plenty of times. Ponies that sell things be careful especially at a garage sell. Make sure you keep an eye of who's buying and make sure you check the pony who's buying even if they pay."

Thanks for the advice Flim and Flam. Anyways Royal Ribbon went to the garage sell. However, she came a bit early.

"Excuse me sir, is this were the garage sell is?" Royal said.

"Miss...Didn't you read the sign? The garage sell starts at 8:00 A.M and it's 6:00-"

However, Collector stopped when Royal took out a bag full of bits from her saddlebag.

'Well...I guess you can check what I have."

Royal smiled and looked around for something valuable. She looked around and found some good things and put them in her saddlebag. However, she really didn't care about putting stuff back. She left a mess everywhere she rummaged for things.

"Excuse me, do you mind respecting my stuff please." Collector said.

"Oh of course I'm sorry." Royal said.

Royal was in heaven she found many valuable's and stole them. However, she lost track of time. It was 8:00 A.M and now everypony was coming to the garage sell to see what they could buy. Royal was in trouble she knew Collector would check everypony before they left. She grabbed a bag full of junk and paid 500 bits for it. Collector accepted, she paid and she left in a flash with the good stuff. Royal wanted to check out her loot so she went to Luxuries Hotel to see what she got.

She saw she had rare comic books, rare items from the 50's, amazing toys that other Collector's would pay a fortune for, she also had some video games that gamer's would love to have. The total that she stole was about 10,000 bits. She got that much for 500 bits. However their was a problem. Collocter's garage sell ended fast. He realized some stuff was stolen but he didn't know how. He checked everypony before they left. The he remembered Royal Ribbon.

He went around asking ponies if they saw a mare that fit her description. Then one pony said she was at Luxuries Hotel. Collector had her. Royal was still checking out the stuff she got. Then she felt something in her saddlebag. She must have grabbed it by mistake. When she took it out she saw it was a strange ring. She took and closer look at it and decided to keep it. Then, Collector barged down her door. Royal was in trouble.

"Give me my stuff you stole!!!" Collector shouted.

They took a tumble to the ground. Royal was holding on to the ring while Collector was fighting her. While they were fighting Royal accidently pushed a button that the ring had on the side and the ring was pointing at her close to her eye . All of a sudden...

*Bam!!!*

A small bullet came out making a loud noise and shot her...Right in the eye. What type of ring was that. Shining Armour you know a lot about weapons right. I mean you got an A+ in the Royal Guard's weapons history test while you were trying to become one. What type of ring was that Shining Armour.

"That ring was a Dyson Lapetit Protector Ring Pistol it was invented in the 19th century and is extremely rare. Cost about 100,000 bits or even more today. It holds a .2 caliber inside of it so you need to be close to get hurt by it. However, it does make a loud noise when it's shot. Many Collocter's would die to have this in their collection."

Collector left that thing in a box by mistake. He thought he had it in his private collocation in his closet.

"Oh shit!!! Miss!!! Miss!!!"

Royal was done for. Oh poor Royal Ribbon death decided that if she wasn't going to pay full price for what she stole. Then she was going to pay for it with...Her life...What a deal to die for.
