It’s a beautiful day in the Crystal Empire. The castle is gleaming bright, The fillies and foals are heading to school, and their teacher is reminding them of their schools importance. Wait… what? Is that… No, it can’t be. There is no way that is Cinch. Wait… yep that is unicorn form of Abacus Cinch. Oh my Celestia that is funny. Oops, let’s get back to the story.

“Remember everypony, we have a reputation to uphold!” Cinch said.

“Yeah, everybody cares” Sour Sweet said walking by, “No, no they really don’t.”

“You should consider being a lot more quiet or she will hear you” Sugarcoat told her.

“91! 92! 93! 94! 95! 96! 97! 98! 99! 100!” A crowd of ponies said.

“Yes! A new personal record!” A pegasus said.

“Be quiet Indigo,” Lemon Zest said, “I can hear you over my awesome music!”

“Lemon Zest all personal devices must be put away!” Abacus said.

“Aww” Lemon said.

“This is going to be a long day” Cinch complained.

“Alright, everypony your homework for tonight is to interview an important person in the Crystal Empire!” CInch said.

Soon everypony was gone and Cinch was out the door. Cinch was walking home when a pegasus appeared out of nowhere.

“Give me all the items on you” The pegasus said.

“Why should I?” Cinch said.

“Do you see that sword on my back?” The pegasus said.

“Yeah, so what” Cinch said.

“Give me everything you have, now!

“I am Abacus Cinch, I teach at the finest school in the Crystal Empire, I-” She was stopped by the sound of a blade being drawn from its scabbard. The blade sliced down through Abacus Cinch.

“Finally, she’s dead” The pegasus said.
