                                            >The streets are bustling with activity.

                                            >Traders have their wares on display for the eager buyers filling the small area.

                                            >You keep walking, knowing none of these stalls have what you want.

                                            >After a few minutes, you see what you were searching for.

                                            >The pony trader.

                                            >You notice there is only one other person there.

                                            >As you approach, he turns towards you.

                                            >He gives you a crooked smile, and you can instantly tell he has dark intentions for this day.

                                            >Choosing to ignore him, you look towards the trader.

                                            >There are only two ponies for sale.

                                            >A yellow mare with a long pink mane, and another mare, this one blue and with an odd assortment of colors in her mane.

                                            >Both of them look like they haven't been bathed or properly fed in weeks.

                                            >As you're inspecting them, the trader, who is sitting in a chair behind them, looks at his watch.

                                            >"Welp, I guess it's time." he says as he stands up.

                                            >"I was hoping for a bigger turn out, but oh well."

                                            >He walks over to the ponies, and grabs the chain connected to both of their collars.

                                            >He pulls the blue on towards him, and it is then that you notice that she's a pegasus.

                                            >You also notice her wings are tied down to prevent her from flying.

                                            >Looking at the yellow one, you see she is one too, but her wings are free.

                                            >"Come here you little shit!"

                                            >Looking back at the blue one, you see she is struggling.

                                            >The trader gives one hard tug and she is forced to his side.

                                            >He then grabs her by the chin, and looks her dead in the eyes.

                                            >He starts to snarl at her in a hushed tone.

                                            >"Listen you damn horse. You've been nothing but a pain in my ass since I got you, so you better behave and let me sell you, or this'll be the last auction you'll ever be in."

                                            >He gives her head a jerk before he let's go, and before he can pull his hand away, she bites him right on the pinkie finger.

                                            "AAAAHH!"

                                            >Pulling his arm back, he brings it back down full force, backhanding her across the cheek.

                                            >"OW, You JACKASS!"

                                            >"I told you to BEHAVE!"

                                            >As he yelled the last word, he stomped on her chain, forcing her to hit the floor.

                                            >He turns towards you and the crooked man, and gives a toothy grin.

                                            >"Let's start with this one."

                                            >He let's up on her chain, allowing her to sit upright again.

                                            >"This ones a little feisty, but with a little discipline, she'll be obedient in no time. Let's start her bidding at... two hundred."

                                            >You raise your hand to place your bid.

                                            >"I have two hundred. Do I see two fifty?"

                                            >The crooked man doesn't say anything. He just keeps glancing at the yellow one with the same crooked smile.

                                            >The trader, seeing that he's not getting any more out of her, looks a little irritated.

                                            >"I guess not. SOLD! To this gentleman right here."

                                            >You walk up and pull out the proper amount of money.

                                            >After handing him the money, he hands you the chain and paperwork for the pony.

                                            >"Heh heh heh, enjoy your purchase, stranger."

                                            >You only give a nod in response, having learned a while ago not to engage in conversation with these people.

                                            >You turn and start to walk away, your new purchase in tow.

                                            >You get about ten feet away when she starts to pull against you.

                                            "Come, little one. Don't struggle."

                                            >"No, please, you have to help her!"

                                            >Turning to look at your pony, you see she has her eyes locked on the yellow mare being shown off by the trader.

                                            >Tears are streaming down the yellow ones face.

                                            >The crooked man is giving her a very hungry stare.

                                            >"Please? She's been my friend since we were filly's. I can't just leave her alone."

                                            >Giving one last glance at the yellow one, you turn around and start heading home again.

                                            "Sorry, little one. But I only had plans to buy one of you today."

                                            >You get a few more feet away before she starts to pull even harder.

                                            >"Please! I'll do anything you want! Just please get her out of there before something bad happens to her!"

                                            >Stopping in your tracks, you turn and face the blue one.

                                            "Does she really mean that much to you? Is she worth it?"

                                            >"I would do anything to guarantee her safety."

                                            >She gives you a look of pure determination.

                                            >Sighing in defeat, you start to head back.

                                            >The trader had already started her bidding at four hundred.

                                            >You get there right as he's about to seal the deal.

                                            "Four fifty."

                                            >The trader looks at you in confusion, and the crooked man gives you a look that could curdle milk.

                                            >"Okay? Four fifty. Do I hear four seventy five?"

                                            >"Four seventy five!"

                                            >The crooked man gives you a shit eating grin.

                                            "Five hundred."

                                            >The shit eating grin drops and you can see him clenching his teeth.

                                            >"Five twenty five!"

                                            >The trader is starting to smile with the thought of the payout he's about to receive.

                                            "Five fifty."

                                            >Looking at the yellow one, you see she has stopped crying and is giving you a look of complete shock.

                                            >"Five seventy five!"

                                            >You see the crooked man starting to sweat.

                                            >He must be reaching his limit.

                                            >With one final grin, you shoot him out of the bidding once and for all.

                                            "Eight hundred."

                                            >The trader has the biggest grin in his face and the crooked mans jaw has dropped.

                                            >"Eight hundred!? Wow, um... do I hear eight twenty five?"

                                            >The crooked man just looks at you in defeat before turning around and walking away.

                                            >"Sold! To the gentleman from before!"

                                            >As you walk up to pay the trader, the blue one runs over and gives the yellow one a hug.

                                            >After all is said and done, you're on your way back home, with two ponies in tow.

                                            >The yellow one is leaning on the blue one while they walk behind you.

                                            >She had started crying again, but this time, her tears were from joy.

                                            >The blue one was smiling with tears in her eyes.

                                            >Smiling internally, you turn the corner to your estate.

                                            "Well little ones, we're here."

                                            >They both look up at your home, mouths agape in awe at the size of it.

                                            >The blue one is the first to speak.

                                            >"This is your house?"

                                            "Yes, now let's not dawdle. I want you to meet the others."

                                            >"The others?"

                                            "You're not my first pony purchases, little ones."

                                            >"Rainbow Dash."

                                            >you turn towards her and see she has a look of slight irritation.

                                            "Excuse me?"

                                            >"My NAME is Rainbow Dash, not 'little one'."

                                            >You kneel in front of her, and she dons a look of defiance.

                                            >Yellow one watches you two, fear filling her eyes.

                                            "Rainbow Dash, hmm?"

                                            >She slowly nods, still seeming apprehensive.

                                            "Well then. My name is Anonymous. You may address me as 'Sir'."

                                            >Rainbow glares at you.

                                            "Or Anon, if it better suits you."

                                            >She drops her defiant look and cocks her head in confusion.

                                            "And what is your name, little one?" you say to the yellow one.

                                            >She doesn't say anything, she just drops her head.

                                            >"Her name is-"

                                            "Shush!" you put your hand in front of Rainbow's face. "I want to hear it from her."

                                            >You put you hand on the yellow ones chin and gently pull her head up.

                                            "Go ahead and tell me. I don't bite."

                                            >She looks into your eyes for a second, looking to see if you mean what you say.

                                            >"Fl-flut...."

                                            "I'm sorry?"

                                            >Fl-fluttershy... s-sir."

                                            >With a warm smile, you stand up.

                                            "Well then Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash. Shall we?"

                                            >You turn back towards your house and start heading inside.

                                            >As you reach the front door, you open it and step aside.

                                            "Why don't you two step in first? Don't worry, I mean no ill will towards you two."

                                            >They both look at each other and start to head inside.

                                            >You walk in behind them and shut the door.

                                            "Welcome, little ponies, to your new home."

                                            >You are Rainbow Dash.

                                            >And you can't believe your eyes.

                                            >This humans house is huge!

                                            >It's even bigger than it looked from outside!

                                            >As you take in the sites, you hear the human start walking past you.

                                            >"So how do you like it?"

                                            >After walking in front of you, he turns and looks at you both.

                                            >You still don't trust this human, so your not going to give him the satisfaction of answerin-

                                            >"It's beautiful!"

                                            >Fluttershy!

                                            >"I've been in this world for a while now, and I've never seen any place so... so... extravagant!"

                                            >This makes the human smile.

                                            >He turns around and looks at it himself.

                                            >"Really? This old place? Why it's nothing more than-"

                                            >Ignoring him, you grab Fluttershy and pull her close to you.

                                            "What are you doing!?" you say in an extremely hushed, but urgent tone.

                                            >"I was just complimenting him on his house. Why?"

                                            >Her tone was hushed like yours, but calm.

                                            "We can't trust these humans! After everything they've done!"

                                            >"Rainbow Dash, we can trust him."

                                            "Yeah? And how do you know that?!"

                                            >"I looked into his eyes. I saw no malice in there."

                                            >You're about to retort when the human turned back to you.

                                            >"And that's all there is to this place. So nothing special."

                                            >You glare at him, while Fluttershy walks towards him.

                                            >"That was a wonderful story, sir."

                                            >...

                                            >Ohmigosh.

                                            >She just called him sir.

                                            >"Didn't you say something about other ponies?"

                                            >"Ah yes, I did. If you would be so kind as to follow me, oh wait, let me take those off of you first."

                                            >He walks up to Fluttershy and removes her collar.

                                            >She doesn't even flinch when he touches her.

                                            >After taking hers off, he walks over to you and kneels down to take yours.

                                            >You back away from him when he reaches for you.

                                            >"Do you really want to keep that on?"

                                            >After a second you walk back to him.

                                            >"That's what I thought."

                                            >He reaches his hands towards your neck again.

                                            >You tense up when you feel him touch you with those human fingers.

                                            >Disgusting.

                                            >After messing with the latch for a second, he takes yours off as well.

                                            >"I don't think we'll be needing these anymore." he says as he throws them off to the side. "We'll get rid if them later."

                                            >It feels good to have that thing off.

                                            >You roll your neck for a second to stretch, followed by stretching your win-

                                            >The pressure of the wing lock is still there.

                                            "Hey, human. What about this?" you say as you point at the strap.

                                            >"Sir."

                                            >You growl for a second.

                                            "Fine SIR, what about my wings."

                                            >He looks you straight in the eyes for a second.

                                            >"I think we'll keep that on for just a bit longer."

                                            "WHAT?!"

                                            >"How do I know you're not going to fly off first chance you get?"

                                            >You just glare at him because you know that you would as soon as you could.

                                            >Only if you can convince Fluttershy to go with you.

                                            >"With that matter settled, let's be on our way then."

                                            >He turns and starts walking deeper into the house.

                                            >Fluttershy starts to follow him without hesitation.

                                            >You were thinking of just staying here, but if he decided to do something to her, you wouldn't be there to stop him.

                                            >You start to follow them deeper into the house.

                                            >As you three are walking, you notice that Fluttershy is holding a conversation with the human.

                                            >How can she put her trust in one of them.

                                            >They've done nothing but cause harm to ponykind.

                                            >As the three of you continue to walk, you hang back a bit.

                                            >They don't even notice you distancing yourself.

                                            >You continue walking for a couple more minutes before you notice they've stopped and are waiting for you to catch up.

                                            >"Are you alright, Rainbow Dash?" asks the human.

                                            >You just grunt in response.

                                            "Why would you care?"

                                            >"Because, Rainbow Dash, you are now a member of my household. And I care for all members of my house."

                                            >You scoff in response.

                                            >"So, as I asked previously, are you alright, Rainbow Dash?"

                                            >You give him a dirty look.

                                            "I'm just peachy, SIIIR."

                                            >You sneered at him as you said that last word.

                                            >Fluttershy looks at you with fear in her eyes.

                                            >The human gives you a deadpan look.

                                            >"Hmm. Very well, miss 'Peachy'. Fluttershy, as much as I would like to continue our conversation, I think it'll be best if you stay with her to make sure she can keep up."

                                            >...

                                            >Miss PEACHY?!

                                            >"Yes sir." she says with a nod before walking back to you.

                                            >"Now then, if you two will follow me, I will take you to your quarters so that you may clean up. If I know those damned traders, you two weren't taken care of very well."

                                            >He turns and starts walking again.

                                            >Fluttershy starts walking too.

                                            >You reluctantly follow, if only for the chance to clean this filth off of you.

                                            >The filth of these damn humans.
