@,

 

"So..." As the mare made to leave the restaurant she started to wonder what sort of approach to take in finding Pondah somewhere to work. It would have been easier if she lived in there herself - or even had a passing knowledge of the places nearby.

 

"If you could do anything, have any job, what would it be?" She enquired with a more contained smile than usual, hoping to draw some kind on inspiration. This was going to be fun!

"My dream job... it would be a solo job."  Pondah said. "One where I was alone but still benefiting others. Where I can find things out at my own pace and be calm. Does such a job exist?"

 

​Doubt flooded Pondah's mind and a frown began to manifest on his face. He realised that his dream job, the one thing he wanted to do may only exist as fantasy.

@,

 

"Explorer!" Chimed Bubble, before giggling and trying to think of something more achievable in the short term.

 

"Night Guard? It's quiet at night usually and you'd be helping the ponies you do meet!" She suggested. "Or what about writing? You wouldn't even need to go outside if you didn't want to. Oh! You could be a poet and not even know it!" She rhymed in delight.

 

Much as she was having fun coming up with suggestions, she wondered if any of them appealed to Pondah: she had a bit more guidance than before but still didn't really know him well enough to think of what he might be good at.

After hearing Bubble's suggestions, Pondah shook his head.

 

"Those aren't for me." Pondah said. "Physical ineptitude rules out explorer, I'm not creative enough for writer or poet and, even if I was, it wouldn't be a reliable source of income and I would never join the guard because I don't approve a monarchy rule."

 

​'This going to be hard.'

[Skycoaster 697]

Skycoaster.

Skycoaster sat on a train as it approached Baltimare. All he had with him were his briefcase and a small travel bag. He kept looking down to a clip board he had on his lap, as he let out a sigh.

 

"Why of all ponies did I get chosen to come here." he said under his breath, as he looked at the clipboard once more. "Why dose Cloudsdale think that I...Me am the pony for this job. Just because a weather team forgets do make it rain or clear the sky do they think that they need to be supervised...At least I get a mini vacation out of it after I get done. I really did need to get out of that office though, and they are paying me and paying all of my expenses."

 

Skycoaster looked at his watch and then back to the clipboard as he watched the scenery roll by the train.

 

Some time later, the train pulled into the Baltimare station. Skycoaster collected his things and headed towards town.

 

"Business can wait till tomorrow. I'm beat." as he headed in what he believed was the direction his hotel.

@,

 

"Astronomer?" That's very solitary. She tried. "Or can you fix things? Or make things?" She asked, the ideas kept rolling in but when it came to interacting with others, Pondah was her complete opposite: it was hard for her to think of things like this.

 

"What do you know about?" She wondered aloud.

[qqq 217]

@

 

"I know something about almost everything," ​Pondah said. "But I can't put it into practice. I can name things you shouldn't eat and the constituents of a good diet but I couldn't make a meal. I know what goes into the creation of a house but I can't build one. Do you understand? I'm all theory, no results."

 

​Pondah frowned and looked down at the ground. For the first time he'd put real thought into employment, only to find that there may be nothing to suit him.

 

"What if there isn't a job for me?" Pondah said quietly. "What if the one thing I can do better than anypony is just a myth. Perhaps my true calling in life is nothing. Perhaps it's failure..."

Bass made his way down from the stage, having completed the final checks and tests with his technician. He trotted over to the area behind the stage to discuss the run-through with his manager, whom he suddenly held a distinct, yet invisible distaste for. Something about the pony urked Bass the wrong way. Maybe it was because he seemed like the type of pony who would likely be bigoted. Hm, perhaps he may need to find a new one someday soon... After all, the tan DJ had done most of his publicity work himself, so a switch up with a younger, more open minded pony may prove fruitful. After his momentary discussion with the pony, the unicorn looked around and thought.

 

"Where did Kaz go? Jeez, I'm forgetful today. Actually, now that I have some time, I could probably talk to that mare about her getting a permanent spot on my crew. Yeah that's what I think I'll do." 

 

So he ventured off around the club, which was slowly filling with ponies in anticipation of the show later, in search of the purple maned mare.

PurpleBit was lying outside on the grass, staring down at the ground with her head on her hooves.

 

All these ants fit in perfectly. None of them are awkward, none of them get shouted at for looking at another ant for longer than they have a conversation.

 

PurpleBit couldn't shake the feeling that since Kaz had a sudden hatred of her, she would be terrorised whenever there she was working if she continued to work around here.

 

Off in the distance, she saw BassClef trotting towards her. She would have to tell him what happened and why her burst of enthusiasm had disappeared all over the course of an hour.

@, 

Sunny smiled and nuzzled Candy's neck. 

"Me too," she murmured, happy to be with the mare.

 

Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. 

The two mares stayed together like that for a while. It was peaceful, and nopony passed through that part of the park. 

Sunny suddenly realized that they had spent the majority of the day in the park and had skipped lunch. Judging by the sun's position, it was about 5 PM. She looked at Candy.

"So, do you think it's about time for you to take me for supper?" she asked, a grin on her face.

"Oh! There you are!" Bass said cheerfully as he trotted toward the pony. Once he was within a decent conversation distance, he slid his shades up off his eyes with a quick charge of magic.  "It's a relief to find- why are you on the ground?" He asked, now slightly concerned. "You wanted a spot on my crew, right?"

She looked at Candy. "So, do you think it's about time for you to take me for supper?" she asked, a grin on her face. 

 

 

Candy let out a tired giggle. Most of the day seemed to pass already. "Anything for you, sweetie." "Sweetie. That's new." Candy had to admit to herself, she liked the sound of it. That, or the feel of being able to call Sunny that name.

 

Candy lead them out of the park and into the city. She eventually found a diner close to her apartment. "Think this'll do? We could eat here, or get the food and head back to my apartment. It's not far." She smiled.

PurpleBit quickly stood up and trotted closer to BassClef.

 

"Kaz came over and uh, had a word with me. I had no idea you two were in a relationship, and he thought I was staring at you because I was interested in you. Like in that way. He was quite rude towards me, said that he would attack me, and I don't think I would be able to work here if he was around all the time with you."

 

"Hopefully I'll be able to find work somewhere else, but here is probably not the place for me."

Bass stammered back, "A- rel- What?! What are you talking about?! A relationship? We're n-not in a relat-"

 

He trailed off in confusion, and then in anger. "Kaz said we were in a relationship?!" He asked, growing more angry by the second. Then he thought, "Damn it! Kaz I told you I wouldn't get mad, but you said..."

 

"I'm sorry for what he said, um... let's just say he's going through some stuff. Don't believe what he said." Bass added, realizing the pony was still in front of him. It was obvious though, that he was lying. "Aw jeez."

Kaz finished the other 3 bottles of his cider and walked outside to enjoy a nice Mareboro before the opening act took to the stage. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that same pony was now talking to Bass and was stood quite close to him. Kaz sparked up his cigarette and walked over slowly.

 

"I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU NOT TO MAKE A BUCKING MOVE, YOU WHORSE!" Kaz screamed as he began to pick up the pace and his horn begin to glow with a bright purple aura. A bolt of lightning flew from the tip of his horn towards PurpleBit at immense speed and with a roaring crack of thunder behind it.

@, 

Sunny looked at the restaraunt and nodded. "Sure, we can eat here."

They entered and were soon seated. Sunny looked around. It was nice. Not too fancy or expensive, but not cheap either. Still, she didn't want Candy to spend all her money on her.

"You know, you don't have to treat me to supper. You already paid for breakfast, I can pay for our supper," she said, turning to her marefriend.

"A failure? I don't think you're a failure." Bubble said in perfect honesty, cocking her head. "A little weird maybe... but in a good way!"

 

She tried to look stern: she failed. It didn't deter her though.

"I don't see a mark for giving up on your flank so you can stop with that kind of talk mister!" She lectured in a sing-song voice: a strange enough combination. After a few seconds, her not-quite-serious expression broke into a grin. "You might be surprised what you end up good at! Bet you cant guess what I do!"

"You know, you don't have to treat me to supper. You already paid for breakfast, I can pay for our supper," she said, turning to her marefriend.

 

 

Candy had the extra money to spare, but she admired Sunny's offer still. "Thank you, Sunshine." She smiled, "But I'll be fine paying for awhile. Plus, if you really wanna repay me, you we could spend the night together again." She smiled sincerely, she really didn't want to be apart from Sunny at all. "Though...maybe at my apartment tonight?"

PurpleBit heard Kaz before she saw him. She quickly turned to her left and saw Kaz's horn light up.

 

"OH BUCK"

 

She very quickly moved to dodge out the way, but a part of her tail got fried as she tried to dodge.

 

"Wh-Why?! I didn't do anything, he came up to me!"

 

PurpleBit, now on the edge of tears galloped away trying to keep her tears in, but it was obvious in her voice she was distraught.

Pondah began a thought process to work out what Bubble did. He began to think aloud.

 

'Hm... going by the idea of being surprised at what you're good at, she most likely does something I wouldn't expect. I need to think of jobs that a pony completely opposite would do. A job that wouldn't be done by somepony who is on a constant sugar-rush. Something where you need to concentrate on one thing for extended periods. Fixing things? Engineering perhaps.'

 

​Unaware that he had announced his whole thought process, Pondah replied. "Do you do something involving engineering or repair?"

"YEAH YOU BETTER GALLOP AWAY." Kaz shouted at the distraught pony. "What the buck Bass? I told you about how she was giving you looks and you go and flirt it up with her?" Kaz slurred his speech as he loudly exclaimed this towards Bass. "Celestia, I feel so damn bad right now." Kaz was waving all over the place and could hardly stand up straight.

"Nope!" Bubble chirped. "Good try! I sometimes fix things... but I break them too so it wouldn't be any good for a job!"

 

She bounced in place a little: he couldn't guess. Nopony could - she probably wouldn't have been able to guess if she didn't actually do it.

"Want to try again?" She giggled. "Go on, you'll see: you just cant always know these kind of things!"

"No, you tell me what the buck is up. First of all, why in the deepest depths of Discordian hell have you gone and gotten drunk? I have my show in like two hours, and now I have to take you home... Kaz, how could you be so irresponsible? Erg, this is not alright..." He then lowered his voice, and leaned in closer.

 

"I'm taking you back to the apartment, and your going to go nap. Once you sober up, and I get back from my show, you and I are gonna talk, okay?"

 

Then the unicorn levitated his shades back over his eyes, and grabbed hold of the stallion to begin walking him back home.

Kaz pushed Bass away from him with as much force as possible. "Get off of me. I can walk myself" He said slowly and loudly as he fell to the ground.

 

"Ugh, I'm such a bucking mess. I just wanted to protect us! Luna, what have I done?!" Kaz lay on the ground covering his snow white coat in dirt and grime. He began to sob and threw his hooves across his eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Bass. I just... I uh... I..." He slowly began to shut his eyes and the world around him became of void of nothingness... He had passed into another realm where anything could happen.

 

The dreams were so vivid and colourful but were incredibly sorrowful. "I'm leaving you, Kaz." Bass said in the emptiness of Kaz's mind. This moment repeated itself over and over whilst Kaz was lying on the floor, completely comatose.

Bass sighed as he magically lifted the unconscious unicorn out of the dirt, and leaned him back onto his back.

 

"What am I gonna do? If I was unsure about everything before, wow... Now? Ugh. Let's just focus on getting him back before anyone notices. If I take the back streets again, nopony should see."

 

Bass thought as he meticulous made his way through the alley to the back of the club, and on his way back to Kaz's apartment, his unconscious cargo on his back. It didn't take all that long before Bass entered the apartment block, and walked up the stairs to the small room. He looked back, and as an aura of magic took over his horn, the keys levitated out of Kaz's pocket, and into the door frame. A quick turn, and the latch came undone. The disgruntled DJ set the white stallion down in his room on his bed, and turned to sit down on the couch before heading back.

 

"Kaz... why did you have to..?" He thought to himself.
