breaking the bank

When dash arrived at the building, she noticed there was a sign on it in gold, it said "bank." she had known what banks were so she knew that she shouldn't go anywhere near it. Then she noticed something at the side of the bank. She went over to see what it was, it was a weird looking stick figure with sticks as it's body and limbs, with only a solid head and hands and feet at the ends of the limbs. She was a bit surprised.

Then she saw it pull a bag from his back pocket. She then had enough of this, she walked over to the figure and asked what he was doing and who he was.

"Hello?" she said.

Then the stick figure looked over towards the direction the greeting came from to see a small blue pony with rainbow hair, wings, and some sort of tattoo on its flank. He seemed really confused about this creature and what it was. So he knelt down and asked what she was doing here.

"Well, I was just..."

Dash was cut off when the figure gave her the signal to quiet down a little bit, dash was confused as to why he would do that, but she obeyed the command and quieted her voice.

"Well, I was just having a party with my friends when I suddenly felt lightheaded and blacked out. Then I woke up not too far from here. I have no idea what happened, but I think my friends are getting worried, I'm from a country called Equestria."

When dash said where she was from, the figure looked at her with more confusion, like he didn't even know what she was talking about. So dash continued.

"I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest pegasus in Equestria, and the only one able to pull off a sonic rainboom, my friends call me dash or dashie for short. Lastly, I'm the bearer of the element of loyalty, so I'll be there when any of my friends are in trouble, and I'll sacrifice my life when necessary."

She finished telling the figure about herself, realizing she had gotten a little carried away. "Sorry, I get a little carried away sometimes because of how huge my ego is, but anyway. If I get to know you, maybe you and I can find a way to get me back home."

The figure considered the idea. He assumed she was from another dimension since he didn't recognize the name of where she was from. He went over his options...

Help

He considered the options he had, and even though he was still a little creeped out by a talking rainbow-haired pegasus, he felt a little sympathy for the pony, so he chose the help option.

He let the options fade away for a half-second and nodded to the pegasus, which made her jump up and do a small flip. Then he realized that he hadn't told her his name yet, so he did so.

"My name is henry stickmin, I'm here because I want to rob this bank since I'm currently short on cash. Since this bank was in the middle of nowhere, I thought it was the best option to rob." he finished stating why he was here, seeing dash give him a small look of confusion.

Dash heard him say "cash" and was a little confused as to what he was referring to, but she shrugged it off assuming that what he calls cash is the same with bits.

"Enough talk let's get this over with so I can get back home," dash said, getting a nod from henry.

She followed him to the place where he had wanted to use his disguise which was the bag he pulled out when dash had first seen him. Once they got to where he wanted, henry noticed a truck in the distance, it was the money truck returning to the bank after a trip back to the city, perfect. He told dash to get inside the bag and wait for further notice, then he climbed in himself and tied the bag shut. Dash noticed this and questioned in her mind how he did that without magic, then the truck drove by and stopped only a few meters away and heard two doors open.

Outside of the bag, the money truck henry spotted before had noticed the money bag laying on the side of the road. It stopped and two more figures got out and walked over to it. Then the one with glasses spoke first.

"Huh, how did we lose one?"

"I think we should throw it into the bank, just to be safe." his friend with the mustache said.

Both thought it was a good idea, and grabbed the bag and put it in the back of the truck.

When the truck arrived at the bank, it started to unload its contents into one of the vault areas of it. Once they finished unloading, they turned off the lights and closed the main door.

Henry untied the top of the disguise and looked around to see if anyone was around. Once he confirmed that there was nobody, he got out and told dash to get out as well. Once she was out, henry stood up and triggered one of the security lasers which activated the alarm, dash jumped and instantly knew this was a bad idea. She heard some guards run in and demanded them to stay where they were.

A few minutes later, they were both taken away to a building not too far from the bank.

Author's Note

i decided to be clever and add the logic of henry's game into this fic, but instead of having the person playing the game choose the options, henry chooses them himself, but if he chooses a fail, it'll come up the same way that it does in the game with a fail screen that appears after the cutscene and restarts automatically to his options without waiting for someone to hit the retry button. so what do you think is going to happen to dash and henry now that they've teamed up in order to figure out how to get dash back to equestria. if you're reading this before the next chapter comes out, guess you'll have to wait and see until the next chapter comes out. if you're reading this after the next chapter came out, read on to find out.
