The Assistant

It was a normal Sunday afternoon. The sun was beaming, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was a perfect day to play, take a nap, and maybe even go on an adventure. For RainbowDash, however, this was not the case. She was stuck at the train station, waiting for some big-shot stallion who wanted to be all up around her. Not that that was necessarily a bad thing, RainbowDash loved her fans. But this one had gone way to far.

She had gotten the letter a month ago. Straight from Princess Luna herself no less. It had said that she was getting an assistant, and that she didn't have any kind of say in it. The letter didn't say why she was getting an assistant, but based on the fact that she didn't need any kind of help with the weather, she could only assume that it was some young stallion who was just head over heels in love with her.

He couldn't have chosen a worse day either. Not only was this a beautiful day, but it was her's and Thunderlane's 1 year anniversary. They had been planning for months. They were going to go out to a nice dinner in Cloudsdale's nicest, fanciest restaurant. It had taken weeks to get the reservations, and they had still and to plan three months ahead. It was going to be beautiful, and now she was stuck here almost late because of some stupid stallion who thought he was king of the world.

The train pulled into the station. As the doors opened, dozens of ponies filed out of the train. She looked around for the stallion, who according to the vague description was a Pegasus with alot of luggage. Eventually she found him, with some difficulty as he was surrounded by half a dozen unicorns who all were carrying some of his luggage. Even with so many different ponies helping, all of them were still swamped with luggage. She flew over. Upon reaching him, all of the unicorns eyed her threateningly. She hovered directly over top of the last unicorn in the group, so that none of them could stare at her.

"Are you my new assistant?" Rainbow asked hatefully.

"Are you RainbowDash?" The Stallion replied.

"No, I'm Big Macintosh," She replied sarcastically,"Who do you think I am?"

"My new boss by the sound of it," The Stallion replied,"My name is Albert Jordenson II. But Red Mist is what i usually go by, if you don't mind."

Great,RainbowDash thought,He's got a faggoty ass rich boy name AND a full-of-himself nickname.She looked at the clock on the wall. It read 5:15. Their dinner was in less than three hours, and she hadn't even gotten dressed yet."Alright," she said impatiently,"but I have somewhere to be, so just be over sweat apple acres by 10:00 sharp tomorrow, ok?"

"Yes ma'am." Red Mist Replied.

And he's gonna call me "ma'am"? This is gonna suck.RainbowDash thought. Before she could think about it anymore, she zoomed off to her house to get dressed in the fancy dress Rarity had given her for the occasion.

Red Mist continued on, his group barely able to move due to the weight of the luggage. After close to half an hour of slow marching through town they arrived at Red Mist's new mansion. It was a large place, off the edge of ponyville. It was two stories, all white marble walls and pillars at the entrance.The floors were a beautiful grey granite, and the same material was on the outside of the building on the edges and where the floors changed. Guards dressed in purplish uniforms with the letters NLR printed where the cutie mark would be were stationed at every corner of the building, to at every door.He thought it safe to presume that the potted plants held automated defenses and the windows snipers.

He walked in and started walking towards the basement. Before he could enter, however, one of the guards stopped him. The only difference between his uniform and the others was a small arrowhead with a star beneath it, indicating his rank. He was a white unicorn with a sleek black mane.

"Excuse me sir,"The Unicorn began,"But we must test the basement security system first."

"Shouldn't you have finished this stuff before I got here?"Red Mist asked impatiently.

"Sorry sir,"The unicorn started,"but as you know this was all put together very recently."

"This shit is heavy, Chief," Red Mist pleaded.

"Sir, we already have a prisoner locked down there," Chief replied flatly.

"Alright," Red Mist sighed,"Just make it quick. The rest of you stay here."

Chief led Red Mist up the stairs and into a room in the middle of the upper floor. The room was filled with panels with all sorts of buttons, levers, and monitors on them. In the front of the room was a huge screen that showed images of the entire house. Chief enlarged the picture of the basement. A griffin was in inside, pacing angrily.

"Hello Gilda,"Chief said into a small microphone,"If you would please hold your knee up to the DNA scanner on the wall behind you we will release you from your torment."

"FUCK YOU!" Gilda screamed back,"LET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW!"

Chief started pleading in a sympathetic voice,"Please Gilda, Just hold up your knee and this will all be over."

"The fuck you need my DNA for?"Gilda asked calming down slightly.

"All will be explained later, I swear,"Chief replied.

"When I get out of hear, I want some fucking answers!" Gilda replied moving to the DNA scanner.

As she held up her knee, a small needle that couldn't be seen on camera extracted a drop of blood. It took only a split second for the alarm to go off. Four turrets dropped from each corner of the small room. Before Gilda could scream one curse, lasers shot out and vaporized her.

"Is that all?"Red Mist asked indefinitively.

"Yes sir,"Chief replied.

"Good, now if you excuse me,"

Red Mist started down the hall and down the stairs. His body was aching and he was anxious to get to work. he reached the basement door and the unicorns went down the stairs with him. he entered the room where Gilda had just died and eyed the burn scar on the ground. He wondered, as he often did, what death was like. he stopped thinking about the depressing matter as they reached the second door. He held up his knee to the DNA scanner. A split second later a green light popped on and the door opened. He and the unicorns walked in and placed the luggage on the ground. They all left with a small salute and the door closed behind them, leaving him alone.Time to get to work.He thought to himself
