Sapphire awoke to her alarm clock ringing next to her ear. She pushed it off the bedside table, causing it to halt abruptly. Sapphire then got up, rubbing her eyes with her front hooves and yawning, picking up to clock and putting it back onto the cabinet. She went into the kitchen and poured some cereal and ate it quickly before going downstairs from her apartment above her shop to open the shop up.
Sapphire then noticed noticed that a letter had been posted below the shops' door, probably in the night. Oh great, probably some bills. How much money do these ponies want?! She thought, sighing as she picked up the letter and read it, her eyes widening slightly as she read through. Just... Just junkmail, nothing to worry about... She thought to herself, placing the letter down on the counter next to the cash register.
Soon after she hears the bell above the door jingle, announcing that a customer had arrived.
"Hello! How may I help you today?" She asked brightly, smiling at the two ponies. Her smile soon faded as she noticed that they were armed. One of the walked over to her and held a rag full of a strange chemical over her mouth and nose, causing her to faint. She was then carried off somewhere.
