1. The Grey Mare

It was freezing cold as I awoke clueless of where I was, how I got there, and who I was. The alleyway was full of trash and had a metal fence on one end, the other showed the street. There wasn’t any sound of cars or trains as it rained in the night.

“Where was I?” I got up and started to walk around. I would start heading out of the alley and walking around the street wondering about all the ponies as I saw them.

A cold breeze ran across my body as I left the alley. I… I was in my underwear! The colorful ponies saw me and seemed to avoid me as they passed.

I grab an empty trash bag wrapping it around myself and quickly rush looking for a store.

I ran across the cobble streets looking for anything that appeared to be open at this time of night, that is until i ran into one of these ponies coming around a corner sending us tumbling to the ground. A female voice shouted out. “Hey! Watch where your… What the buck are you?”

“I'm a human and.. How are you talking!? Are you real?” I get up after a second.

The grey mare looks at me confused. “Well of course I’m real… Why wouldn’t I be able to talk?” She Stood up shaking the muddy water off herself. Now that I have a better look at her I’m able to notice the horn on her head.

“It’s new to me, I'm not from around here. Where I come from ponies don’t talk and there are no unicorns.” I spoke.

“Well why were you running through the street if you don’t know how to get around? Especially at this time of night, you should head home.” She whipped her off white tail flinging the water away.

“I dont have one.. Here anyway. And as to why I was running..” she takes off the trash bag for a sec.

She gasped stepping back wide eyed. “Someone shaved all your fur?!”

Puts it back on. “No.. I never had fur.. Humans…. Dont have fur..we also have fingers”

“But its too cold to be out without fur! Maybe you could ask your boss for a place to stay?” She was looking actually worried for a stranger.

“I.. I dont have one.” I began to panic a bit as the shock from waking up in a foreign land began to wear off.

She seemed to have noticed my sudden panicked face as she stood up resting her front hooves on my stomach. “Relax, I can help you if you’d like… it’s not for everypony but it’s a place to stay and work.”

“I’ll do anything!” I hug her tightly pleadingly.

She gulped before speaking up and looking into my eyes. “Well honey… I own a brothel, although not very popular we do get customers. What do ya say? I can’t help otherwise.”

“I.. um.. I don’t know about that.. I mean woud ponies even like humans.. And i’m not that kind of girl..” I shifted uncomfortably.

She hopped off of me before speaking again. “You’d be surprised what ponies like. We used to be popular until our griffin left us. And I can add dinner as well. Staying would be only a few bits a day.” I could see she was almost begging me with her expression. She needed me as much as I needed her.

My heart would ache at our mutual desperation. “C-Can we make a deal?” I choked and stuttered nervously.

Her eyes lit up. “Of course dear! That is business after all! What would you like?”

I’d gulp considering what i would say then finally submit to responding. “If you can guarantee my welfare I’ll do whatever you need from me”

A flash of confusion crossed her face. “Of course I’ll keep you safe. Although I can’t do much if you leave the building, but I don’t see why anypony would bother you anyways. I’ll even let you stay tonight no charge!”

“No.. I mean like help me stay fed and such and learn the rules of this place and such..” A look of horror flashed across my face as I collapsed to my knees as I realized just how lost I truly was began to sink in.

She backed up a bit worried. “Are you alright?! Why do you come with me and stay the night. You can sleep on it okay…”

“Ok I’m just scared.. This is all new to me.” I got up to follow. “Thank you”

“Just follow me dear.. you might have passed it actually.” She started trotting down the way I came from. Looking back every few seconds.

I looked up as I followed. “What is that big building on the cliff?”

She looked back to me before following my gaze. “Oh that’s Canterlot Castle. It’s where our princesses live, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna.” We continued walking down the street.

“Then where do your king and queen live. Do you even have a king or queen?” I queried as I kept following.

“We don’t have one. The Princesses have ruled for thousands of years and we have been just fine. We’re here!” She took a quick turn down an alleyway corner in front of me.

I’d follow. “So what role would have me fill?”

Down the alleyway was a set of stairs going down to an open door with a neon light saying ‘Lovely Night’s Brothel’. She was waiting by the door. “Oh I let my workers do whatever they like. I usually run the counter in the front. All I ask is a small cut of your profits to keep the brothel up and running. So you can go at your own pace… that is if you decide to work here.”

I'd begin to wonder about things. “How likely is a ..um.. customer to approach me?” I start to consider working early.

“Well it might take a little bit for ponies to warm up to you since they don’t know what you are, but you might end up getting asked for as soon as we walk inside, being new and exotic.” She seemed to be trying to hide her excitement.

I'd blush dropping the bag I was covering myself with suddenly. “I.. I suppose I'll work for you per our agreement. Starting tonight.. If thats ok?”

To say she looked surprised was an understatement… “Welcome aboard then! I’ll give you the tour! Just follow me!” She just about bounced inside giggling. She was also really happy too it seems…

I could feel her happiness almost as I followed her. “Im happy i made you happy.. But i'll admit I'm nervous. But nonetheless. Thank you for all of this.”
