Silver Scale

Silver Scale - Chapter 0

Prologue

It could have started just like every usual day, waking up, going to work, and so on, and so on. But it was not that day. Everypony was waiting in complete stress in the hall to the papers to arrive, the papers that contained our future, our destiny, my destiny. Today, we're closing the book.

The company was showing signs of it's downfall months ago, I saw the signs, I saw and wrote them with my bare hooves, worrying every time the scales showed a minus result. We knew what'll happen but nopony expected things to be so sudden. Mr.. Debit, our boss said we have to sacrifice the main office here in Fillydelphia and rather rely in smaller ones all over Equestria.

Minutes, hours passed until Mr.. Debit got out from his office and with a huge sigh he gave everyone a paper. Si-, Si-, Silvia-, Silver Scale! It was my name, my eyes quickly shifted to the other side of the paper to see the name of my future workplace, which was "Ponyville, City sqr. 1., Town Hall".

Ponyville.... For a moment I didn't even know where is that place, but then I suddenly came to my realization that it's that little town next to Canterlot. The town were all the strange things happen I read in the newspapers at times. I didn't know if that was a good or a bad thing right now, I've never been there actually. Looking at the paper again I noticed nobody was assigned there, only me.

"Can you believe I'm going to Baltimare?!" shouted up Transaction behind me hitting my back. She is so random at times, but really lovable and helpful.

"And you? Ponyville, huh? You sure won't miss stuff there." she added.

"Yeah." I replied, being still in shock.

"Oh come on now! At least to get rid of this huge, smokey and stressful city. You already deserved some chill, gal." she answered. Transaction was extremely good at seeing good in almost anything. Whenever something bad happened, she could always cheer me up with her logic, and this was no different this time either. I began to look forward to moving to Ponyville, honestly, well as long as my secondary job came up in my mind as I got home. I quickly rushed at my bookshelves and grabbed a map to see how far this Ponyville is. It wasn't really far, just about an hour with train. I didn't take the risk though, grabbed a letter and quill and began to write.

"Dear Cracked Mirror

Here are all the information about my new workplace as I promised before. I'm going to move to Ponyville and continue my work there, however for both financial and emotional reasons I won't move there permanently. I decided not to give up on my dream-job and continue working in your club on the weekends as well, despite all the distance problems that can occur.

Yours Sincerely

Silver Scale"

Mirror will surely understand it. She's a little crazy and often speaks in strange sentences that make no sense, but otherwise she's an understanding girl. I'm glad such a fine mare is my boss. The entire club... it's such a nice place, all those lights, all those eyes, and they're all staring at me as I perform glamorous moves around the steel pole of passion. It's truly wonderful, feels like being a star. I don't want to leave it, I simply can't... But... What if they find it out?

I never told anyone that I'm a pole dancer, only the other girls in the club know, and the guys I served, but they forget about me so quickly. It's so strange, most ponies wouldn't even assume that that nerdy little mare with the glasses are seducing a house full of stallions every weekend. Whoever I'll work with mustn't know the truth, it would reflect badly on me, I'd lose all my reputation.

I had no time to worry about this, though. It was Friday so I was to start working there from next Monday. The plan for the weekend was simple: take a look at Ponyville to get used to the new scenery, then find a place to live in, and back to the club at the end of the days. Even just thinking about it made me sigh, this sure will be a busy weekend.
