Anon Filly Bucks Up the World

---*---*---*---

Anon sits in the basement, counting her money as Aster watches, bright-eyed.

"And that, brother of mine, is how you make bank." Anon smirks, taking out two small sums, and tucking the rest away.

"How come more ponies don't do this? This is awesome!" Aster comments, eagerly taking his bits.

"Because, if everybody does it, then it won't make as much money. That's why it has to be a secret, otherwise we won't make any money." Anon lies, taking her small sum and heading up the stairs, Aster in tow.

"If I can continue doing this... Ooh, I could start a cartel! Get my stuff global! Ms. Worldwide! But, who to let in on this... Flim and Flam are only distributors, I need someone with more reach..." Anon grins, having an awful, awful idea. "Time to see how the Canterlot Elite like glass."

---*---*---*---

Anon rides the train to Canterlot, under her fake identity Tutzi Pop. "Ponies stop asking questions when you flash the cash. As they should..."

Soon enough, the train arrives. All in all, it's a short ride, only taking a few hours. Anon steps off, making her way through the streets. It doesn't take long for her to find a business having a grand opening.

"The upper crust always attend these openings. This place'll be crawling with em. Perfect." Anon smirks beneath her hat and shades, coat trailing behind.

Slipping inside, she begins to deal.

---*---*---*---

After a few months of sales, Anon finally has enough to purchase a building in Canterlot. One she's paying contractors to construct all manner of hidden compartments in.

"Alrighty Tutz, we'll be done with this in about two weeks." The head contractor informs Anon.

"Excellent, I see why Fluttershy relies on you guys." Anon slips the contractor some extra bits. "And there's a tip, keep the details hush hush, got it?"

"What details?" The head contractor feigns with a wink.

"Exactly." Anon affirms, walking off to the train station.

---*---*---*---

Anon ponders while in bed, staring at the ceiling. Asterisk's snoring is light, just enough to not be too annoying. "You know... maybe Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy were onto something... It's easy to divide the masses thanks to their instinctual herd mentality. And, with my ability to disguise myself... Perhaps I can use that to my advantage. Rule all three races under separate identities. My movements are going to result in a three way civil war, and I'll be behind it all. Take THAT Sheev, I'm playing THREE sides at once!" She thinks happily, drifting off to sleep. The best part of this? Luna's retired. No dreams can expose her in any way!

---*---*---*---

Anon opens up her packages, each from separate professional cosplay creators. "Finally, I can begin moving up in the world." Anon looks to her three key disguises. Fire Starter, an earth pony. Hale Hail, a pegasus with a pair of convincing faux wings. And Superior Mindset, a unicorn with a convincing faux horn.

"Divide and conquer. I'll rule them all under three separate identities. Time to cause problems on purpose." Anon grins evilly.

Bellbottom knocks on the door a few times. "Honey, dinner's ready.~"

Anon tucks the disguises away. "Comiiiiiing!"
