Prime City International Airport

The sounds of airplanes taking off and landing filled the atmosphere in the big town of Manticore Prime City. Everyone was smiling and hugging each other after they came back from long journeys or are visiting from far away.

A particular purple 23-year-old dragon came off of a plane with a suitcase, Spike Dragan, An average college student who left Manticore to go get his education in another state. He wore an open light brown leather jacket, a white t-shirt, black cargo pants, and brown work boots.

After shielding his face from the shining sun that glistened his scales, he examined his surroundings of the airport. He noticed that apparently, his flight picked a special day, he saw ponies, griffins, and other dragons running up to other passengers and hugging them very tightly, maybe because the war with Queen Chrysalis finally came to an end.

There was a lot of bloodsheds that happened in the war-zone, Spike read about it in the local paper or watched the news while eating his dinner. His twin-sister Barbara was involved in the war too, she was discharged after she got shot in the chest, but she survived.

Spike walked passed security with his suitcase and hailed a cab to go to Barb's house to meet her, hopefully, she'd let him stay with her for a little while before he gets a place of his own.

Barbara's house - A few minutes later

Spike walked in through the door and sure enough, his sister was waiting for him.

"Spikey!" yelled Barb, running over to him and bringing him into a tight hug, Spike slightly blushed a little, considering his sis was wearing her undergarments and her tight hug was making her D-cups squish onto his chest.

"Barb, it's good to see you again," Spike said with a smile. "Maybe you can put some clothes on?"

Barb let go of her brother. "Hey, it's 98 degrees outside and the A/C is not working so well.... in fact, I'm surprised you're wearing your jacket!"

"But uh, you know we're cold-blooded, right? We don't need A/C to stay cool." Spike picked up his suitcase again and walked into the living room, sitting down on a couch, Barb continued the conversation.

"You always question things, brother...I thought college would straighten you out a little."

"Sadly it didn't..." Spike replied with a slight smirk, he looked around the house and saw everything was neatly put away. "So, uh...Sis."

"Yeah?"

"I was just wondering...could I maybe stay here before I could afford my place?"

Barb beamed a little. "Of course! I would be glad to have you stay here."

Spike smiled. "Thank-"

Barb cut him off a little. "But....you need a job."

"A job?"

"Yeah, I'm happy you're gonna stay here but I want you to get a job, I don't want to live with a bum, Spikey."

"What kind of job?"

Barb sat down in a chair near the sofa. "Any job, as long as you're working I wouldn't mind."

"Alright..." Spike sat up and slightly stretched. "I'll go look around town and see what I can find."

"Alright, come back fast, OK?"

Spike went to the door and opened it but before he went out he turned his head and spoke with a smirk. "OK, 'Mom' "

[30 Minutes Later] Streets of Manticore

Spike looked around town looking for a job he can have, but every place he went into he was turned down because he was a dragon, "Only ponies can work here" they usually said.

He kept looking around then noticed a taxi co. building near him, luckily on the door, it said: "Drivers Wanted". Spike began to think, he knew he wouldn't get that much but at least he'll be making decent money until he finds a better job.

The purple dragon walks into the small building and was greeted by a yellow pegasus mare with a black mane, she was wearing some type of office worker attire.

She looked at him with a smile. "Hello sir, I'm Yellow Cab, how may I help you?"

"Yellow Cab?" Spike thought. "That's either a coincidence that's her name and she works here or it's on purpose...Either way, it's funny."

Spike sat down in a chair opposite her desk. "Um, yeah. I saw you had a 'Drivers Wanted' sign on the door, I was wondering if I could get a job here."

"Ah, OK..." She took out an application paper and put it on her desk in front of Spike along with a pen."Sign these, please."

Spike signed everything on the application and gave it to the mare who looked it over. "Spike Dragan, huh?"

"Yeah, that's me."

Yellow Cab nodded and began to put Spike's info onto her computer. "Do you have any identification, Mr. Dragan?"

"Yeah." Spike searched his pocket and took out his I.D. and Driver's License and placed them on the desk. "Here."

"Thanks." Yellow looked at both of his I.D.s and nodded. "OK then, that's everything, I'll give you a car and you can start right away."

"Thank you so much," Spike said with a big smile on his face.

Spike started working immediately the next day, Barb was very happy that he got a job when he got home. Spike was car number 13, he's gotten a lot of passengers and took them all to their respective destinations for 10 bits a week.

After a few weeks of working, Spike stopped his Cab one day and got on his Taxi dispatch radio. "This is Spike Dragan, Car 13, I'm going on my break."

"OK, Be back on the road in an hour." Yellow Cab responded from the radio.

Spike placed the radio down and got out, leaning on his car he took out a plastic bag full of colorful gems and he began to eat. He thought about his life as a cab driver, he just had to drive around town at a very slow pace considering going over 40 miles would get the Solar Guards on his ass, he already had 2 speeding tickets and he had to pay it by pocket. Well, at least he's making money, it's not much but it'll do.

He continued to eat until he heard a loud crash around the corner, making him jump.
