I am Andrew Carmichael, your average 19 year old guy or at least what you can call an average guy in 2134 now-a-days. I like average things like playing video-games, hanging out with my friends and watching The Wonderbolts do what they do best, awesome stunts. I first discovered my love of watching the famous flyers four months ago, a week after we discovered their world. When humanity first ventured upon Equestria we immediately prepared for war, as it was second nature to us humans. Traveling across the galaxy we have made many allies but also a few enemies. When we discovered that the beings of Equestria wanted nothing but peace, we held a large peace party, of sorts.
As a form of entertainment the monarchs of the beautiful land, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, decided to show off the skills of their kind with none other than the Wonderbolts. The peace meeting was broadcasted on live television so I got to see the performance. At first I was skeptical, expecting the show to be boring and dull but I was pleasantly surprised. They pulled of stunts that I couldn’t even fathom and having a love for free running and other such dangerous dare devil-y type of activities I immediately became a huge fan.
At the time I was close to graduating high school, with only a few more final exams to endure. I had convinced my parents to let me visit this new world after my graduation but on one condition. I needed to get a job if I was to even have a hope of being allowed to venture the new and mysterious planet. Thankfully they trusted me enough to let my new found adventure be a solo one.
As for my job dilemma, I had found an advertisement stating that a new Wonderbolt was going to be added to the team and with that, a new “maid” was needed to care of said Wonderbolt. I sent in my resume and I was told that I would need to attend Wonderbolt HQ with my other jobless competitors.
Today was the day of my last exam and despite the extreme importance good grades were to me, my mind couldn’t help but have all my attention focused on becoming the best possible candidate for the job. I needed to make sure everything was perfect.
Before I knew it, the test was over and it was only a few hours before I was to be sent off to Equestria.
Thankfully the large space station city that I lived in was close to the new land of opportunity so it only took a three and a half hour ride ,on a rather crowded space-shuttle, to arrive at my destination.
The locals, along with the help of some of our finest engineers, had built a rather large train station near Canterlot, equipped to send and receive space shuttles, so humans and ponies alike could travel to and from Earth or other various floating space cities. Usually only humans were ever in the station as most ponies and the other sentient beings decide to stay here. As I exited the building, a line of stallion drawn carriages eagerly waited outside for their next customer.
I walked over to the nearest stallion and asked “Hey, how much would it cost to get from here to the Wonderbolts HQ?”
He only laughed at me and said “You’ll want to turn the corner kid, cause you’ll need a pegasi carriage for that.”
I smiled at him sheepishly and thanked him for his help. He waved to me as left in a hurry. Sure enough as I turned the corner of the building I saw two pegasi strapped on to a carriage.
One of them, the taller of the two, gave me a warm smile and asked “Where would you like to go ,sir?”
“Could you guys get me to the Wonderbolts H.Q?”
“We can but you know you can’t just go and visit there, right?” he said with a slight smirk adorned on his face.
“Oh, well I actually I’m here for the job interview.”
“Oh, so you’re auditioning to be the Wonderbolts newest slave, hmm?” and with that his partner and him shared a soft laugh. “Hop on” he says, almost commanding me as if he were my slave master.
“Is it really that bad?” I ask and he notices the slight desperate and depressed tone in my question.
They take off into the sky and I can just barely hear him say, “You may be a slave but at least you’ll get paid, right?”
His flying partner couldn’t take it anymore and burst out laughing causing the carriage to waver a bit, as if we had hit a rough patch of turbulence. He corrected the carriages flight path but both he and his partner still had a stupid grin etched on their faces.
There was really nothing else I could do but hope that they were being dramatic so I tried to get some sleep. I drifted off into a light sleep only to be awakened with a sudden thud. As I wiped the sleep of my eyes I realized we were already here. I hopped of the carriage and paid them the amount due, with a little extra on account of their speediness and the fact that I didn't know if tips were customary in Equestria.
The “slave master” looked at me and with a slight sarcastic tone and whispered “Good luck”.
Before I could say anything else they flew off leaving me to gaze in awe at the doors to the Wonderbolts Head-quarters. I slowly made my way towards the door and before I opened it I whispered to myself, “I’m making a good decision, right?”
As I pulled open the doors, I couldn’t stop my mouth from hanging agape at not only the immense size of the room that held the front desk but also the number of candidates that turned up to compete for the job position. As my eyes scanned the room I instantly got nervous due to the large number of people that looked way more qualified for the job than me.
There were twenty different beings in the room in total (excluding the receptionist). Seventeen of the beings were ponies, sixteen of them peagsi and one earth pony who was wearing weird looking shoes. I recognized them as the electronic shoes that gave ponies without wings the ability to walk on clouds. For some reason, that has yet to be discovered, humans can walk on clouds just fine, depending on certain weights with certain clouds.They were all female and this worried me at first until I saw the other two beings were humans, a guy who looked to be in his early twenties and a girl who looked about as old me and both of them were sporting classy business suits. I was glad that I had decide to wear formal attire, seeing as my other competitors were as well. I was also glad I was not the only male candidate.
The room was slightly segregated, with the ponies in one corner and the humans in the other. I decide to walk over to the humans. I was greeted with handshakes and a “Hey” from the guy and a pleasant “Hello!” from the girl.
Before we could get further acquainted the receptionist at the front desk gave a polite cough and said
“Miss Dash will be here shortly to start the interviewing process”.
With that everyone attempted some form of making themselves look more presentable; the mares were trying to straighten their hair while the other humans and I tugged at our suits to remove possible wrinkles. After the odd cleaning session was through, I introduced myself to my fellow competitors.
“Hi, I’m Andrew” I said with a smile on my face, trying to look and sound as friendly as possible.
The girl nodded in response and said “Hi Andrew. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Chloe.”
“And I’m John. Nice to meet you guys.” the man next to me said. I could tell from his tone that he was worried but I put that thought aside as a bell was heard behind us and I turned around to see a mare with rainbow pigmented hair. Her mane color came in streaks, like an actual rainbow.
I dated a mare back when I lived on the space station. We were a good couple but we never got intimate, we just made out a lot, even though I did think that she was actually very beautiful. I didn’t exactly know if I wanted to get on to that level of intimacy with another species. It wasn’t uncommon for humans to fall in love with other species or even have children (and depending on the species, that child usually ends up normal looking) but I was still creeped out a bit at the thought but looking at this mare I was getting slightly turned on.
From what I could see from where I was standing she had a nice smooth and well toned blue colored body and her eyes were large with pink irises that gave of a sexy sparkle which is what attracted me to my first mare-friend. I loved pony eyes, as creepy as that sounds. I could stare into my ex mare-friends eyes for hours as if I was lost in an ocean but when I looked the rainbow haired mare’s eyes I could feel a certain part of my body become less flaccid. I quickly averted my eyes to a potted plant as to prevent getting a hard on in front of the people in the room.
The walking rainbow quickly looked us all over and said “Alright, if you couldn’t tell before, I’m Rainbow Dash. I know your all here for this job interview but before we begin I want to make sure everybody is clear on what they are signing up for.”
Her voice was a bit raspy, as if she had a cold and it gave of a tomboyish tone, which to my surprise, turned me on even more. Was I getting a school boy crush on a pony that I haven’t even technically met yet?
I decide to put my strange thoughts aside as she continued. “Well, just in case you guys don’t know, everything on the contract is dead serious.” She all glared at us with a smile and said “Especially the part where it says you have to be willing to do anything I say” She put a huge amount of emphasis on anything. All but two of us shook our heads to show that we understood.The two entities in the room that didn’t understand where John and the earth mare.
“What do you mean by a-anything?” John managed to stutter out.
At this point the receptionist that everybody had seemed to forget spoke up. “You will be expected to clean Miss Dash’s house, do chores such as shopping and cooking, if she requests it. You will also be expected to be her personal body guard at all times. It’s all in the contract”
“Well…I can’t cook or fight so…sorry, but I guess I’m out” said the earth pony in a sad tone. Rainbow Dash nodded with a sad smile, forgiving the pony for her lack of necessary skill.
“I can’t do it either. I thought that this job was just being a maid. I can’t fight to save my life. Sorry” Rainbow performed the same sad nod and both John and the earth pony walked out the door.
That left the sixteen pegasi, Chloe and me. I smiled as I thought to myself; I’m in a room with eighteen girls at my disposal, alright! I quickly shook the idea out of my head as I realized this was not the best time to think about some crazy nineteen person orgy.
Ms. Dash looked at us all. “Anyone else not feel up to the task of being my awesome maid/bodyguard?”
Four more pegasi, who were apparently too scared to be the first ones to leave, soon evacuated the W.B’s HQ. With the remaining fourteen candidates left Rainbow gave us all another glance and pointed at a pegasus with a green coat and orange mane and said “You’ll be first.” The pegasus was lead off into the room from whence Ms. Dash came.
Rainbow Dash poked her head out the door and back into the lobby. “You guys might want to sit down, cause I’m a bit picky when it comes to things like this”
I find a seat and start to think about what I'm going to say. I look up at the clock and find out its 4:00 in the afternoon. Only an hour has passed. “This is going to be a long day”
Author's Note
Well, as I said in the description, this is my first story.
The first chapter is a bit short but I wanted to release something before my break was over. If you hated it or loved it please tell me why down in the comments. You can obviously comment on whatever you want but plain "hating" will be ignored.
Constructive criticism please! Hope your enjoying it so far!
