Hey, get up, you can get up now.

"But...I'm too busy, dreaming about dem flanks." You say, not even bothering to open your eyes. "And stop with that damn... thing you're doing."

Dreaming about flanks hmm?

"Yup."

If you don't get up, something bad is going to happen.

"Oh yea? Like what?" You say, going deeper into the blanket.

Alright, your conscience warned you...Your mothers flanks. Your fathers member. 69.

"My mothers flanks? What are you-OH FAUST!"

You shot up from your bed, fighting with the large, comfortable blanket wrapped around your body. You were rolling on the floor by the time you escaped the soft grasp of the blanket. You hit your head on the floor, and you stumbled around your room, bumping into things. When you got up, you rub your head and looked up with your eyes, angrily.

"What the buck brain? Why would you do that? I was having a nice dream about flanks and then...then..." You shudder, not in coldness, but in fear. "Now...I won't be able to sleep again."

Calm your ass down, be glad you weren't rubbin' it when you were dreaming. Now, stop complaining and get your ass in dat shower, you only have like, an hour before you go to work.

"An hour?" You look on your little dresser, and noticed the clock said 10:00 A.M., which will just give you enough time to take a shower, get dressed, and eat brunch.

You walk over to a locker that came with the room, and grabbed your gold plated armor. You placed it on your back, trotting towards the door. You were about to go outside, but that large teddy bear in the corner caught your attention once again. You trot up to it, looking at its brown, fake fur, and its suspiciously large, fake eyes.

"Why do you think Princess Celestia has these things in my room, and in the shower room?"

Your conscience does not know. Just get the buck out before you're late.

Shrugging, you trot out the door, closed it, and made your way towards the Stallion's Locker Room.

You trot inside the the locker/weight room, which leads to the shower room. When you open the door, you are greeted with stallions of all races, shifts, and sizes, having fun, lifting weights, or just talking. They didn't seem to notice you, so you just trot in and closed the door.

*CLICK*

"So...this is the new recruit, huh?"

"Yup, except he signed up for both day and night shifts."

"Really? Watch out guys, we got a badass over here."

You turn around quickly, only to be greeted with three other day guards standing in your way. You look behind them, seeing other guards stare at you with emotion-less faces. One stallion didn't even look at you, he was just lifting weights with his massive wings. But the stallions in front of you didn't have that emotion-less face you and other guards were trained to do, these guys had a mixture of cocky smiles and an annoyed looks in their eyes.

"You're one of the new recruits, right kid?" The middle stallion said, poking you in the chest. He was a day guard, and also a Pegasus with pretty average sized wings. "Ain't ya?"

You know, these guys are trying to intimidate you, right? Show these motherbuckers who's boss, or to at least defend your self esteem.

You stared back at him, glaring right into his eyes. "Yea, so what if I am? Do you have a problem?"

The stallion on the right, an Earth Pony, scoffed. "Who the buck do you think you are? You think you can just trot in here, acting all strong and shit, just because you take both shifts?"

You turn your head to the right, now staring into the eyes of the Earth Pony. "No, I don't think I'm the shit just because I took both shifts. I don't think I'm even the shit at all! A stallion has to make his bits, right?" You finished the sentence with a sly smile, making the Earth Pony glare at you.

"True," You turn your head to the left, noticing the Unicorn crack his neck. "But that don't mean you can show us up like that."

"I already told you, I'm not showing up anypony." The three take a step closer, making your muscles tense. "And I don't want any trouble."

"You don't?" Said the center stallion, also cracking his neck. "Too bad. Because we do."

*CLANK*

The loud noise made everypony, including you, turn to the weight lifting section of the room. Their, the large pony with massive wings stood on all fours, revealing large muscles through his fur coat.

'Holy crap, he's ripped.' You think in a non-sexual way.

"The boy said he don't want no trouble."

...Holy crap, that's a deep voice.

The three stallions didn't say a word, they just opened a path way for you, them and the other stallions who were in the way. The large Pegasus nodded at you, signalling you that it was safe for you to go in the shower room. You walk down the pathway, stopping at the shower door. You turn your head to the large pony and nodded. When he nodded back, you walked into the shower room and turned on the shower.

You made your way from the shower room back to the mess hall, where you were ready to chow down on some food after that random confrontation in the locker/weight room. When you trotted in line to get your food, you noticed today's breakfast was honey glazed donuts, some oats, and either water or juice to your choosing. You placed your food on your back and looked over for any open tables to sit in, since your own table was packed.

When you found one, you noticed it was a bit empty, with only three stallions sitting there. One of them happened to be that large Pegasus who stood up for you. When he noticed you, he waved his hoof over, gesturing towards an open seat.

"Guess he wants me to sit with him." You say to yourself, already placing your plate on the table. When you sat down, you were treated with two other stallions, one a Unicorn and fairly muscular, while the other was an Earth Pony, who was a little skinny, but still showed some muscle.

"What up little man." Said the deep voiced pony. "Name's Sunshine, this is Quickdraw, and that one skinny lookin' stallion over there is String Bean."

The one named "String Bean" sighed. "I've told you before, Sunny. It's just Strings." Strings then chuckled, making the others laugh.

"Yea? Well, we're still going to call you String Bean, String Bean." Said Quickdraw. Their names made you question things, but you said nothing and smiled.

"So," Said Sunshine. "You work both shifts, right?" You nod, making him nod as well. "How does that work out?"

You think a bit, trying to remember the schedule they gave you. "Well, Monday through Wednesday I work with Princess Celestia, Thursday through Saturday I work with Princess Luna, and Sunday I have the day off."

"You sure you can handle that, new colt? Won't that mess up your sleeping pattern?" Said Quickdraw, taking a chomp out of his donuts.

Wow... Look at him go.

"A little bit yea. But I'm sure I can handle it." You say, after taking a bite out of your glazed donut.

Wow... Look at you go.

Strings chuckled. "Well, good luck with that. Hey, Sunny, what time is it?" Sunshine looks at the clock above the entrance.

"10:58, why?"

During this, you were eating some alphabet soup, and when you remembered that you had to start work at 11:00 P.M, you choked on some letters. Thankfully, with one quick slap to the back, Sunshine helped you from choking on the letters. But when all of you looked on the table, Quickdraw started to laugh.

"Ha! He choked on the 'D'!"

You had to admit, that was pretty damn funny, but you didn't have time to laugh, so you waved goodbye to your new friends and rushed out the mess hall, and towards Princess Celestia's throne room.

When you entered the throne room, you see Princess Celestia sitting there, looking... bored.

"Here goes nothing." You say, trotting up to the princess. "Your highness? I am here to start my day."

She looks up at you, smiling. "Oh, I bet you are, you little meat stick you."

"Um... Sorry what?" Meat stick? Where did that come from?

"Oh, nothing." She replied, you sat there confused, for a good second.

Until she then pulls out a small, brown bag from behind her and tosses it at you, making you completely forget about what she said before. You catch it just in time by the tip, only to realize it was making some small clanking noises. You set it down, raising a brow, "Your highness, are these bits?"

"Yes, it is also your next assignment. You must go down Canterlot, by yourself, and... buy some... things."

Wait, wait, wait, wait... How much is in that bag? It must have been a lot, because it was heavy.

"Is that all, princess?" You ask, picking up the bag full of bits and placed it in your chest armor.

"Yes, you must buy what ever your heart desires. You have all day to decide, so take your time." She ends the sentence with a smile, and you couldn't help but to smile back, sheepishly.

"I will not fail you, your Highness." You wave goodbye to her and gallop out the door, not wasting any time.

In the distance, you could have sworn you heard somepony say, "Dat plot", but you ignored it and galloped out of the castle, on your way to the Canterlot Market Square.
