Just a lighthearted little roleplay from me, for a change. c:

Either no one will join, or it will die. What fun!

~Plot:
Canterlot has changed very little since the old days. Still golden, still as ageless as the alicorn mare that resides in the palace. Ponies here were still vain and pretentious. One thing is notable, though.
Little monsters used to roam the streets, damaging property, the cause of things going missing explicably. Little voracious eaters that give places like the bakery and the donut shop prime business. There are different variations, some with horns, some with wings, some without.

Foals.

Yes, foals. Whether they are ragged orphans or little ponies that were born with silver spoons in their mouths, or if they're ponies or something more exotic. And this means war.

You are a foal who lives in Canterlot, sixty years before the return of Nightmare Moon. Most of your peers are street urchins, a few are regular citizens, and there is the occasional noblemare's foal. It is you and your friends versus the other children of the golden city.

Nothing can go wrong, right?

~Rules:

• No Godmodding.
  
• No Mary Sues/Gary Stus.
  
• No Flaming/Trolling.
  
• No OC Alicorns.
  
• Largely foals, but you may have an adult if you want. c:
  
• Experienced Roleplayers, please. I don't want this to be full of script typing and bad grammar.

~My Characters:

Name: Helene
Age: 9
Gender: Female
Species: Changeling
Personality: Detached and disdainful. Cruel. Manipulative, usually using either her natural charms of her abilities to score a free snack from the palace kitchens, or causing dissent and chaos between multiple ponies. Has a habit of learning dirty secrets from ponies, and using them against the pony in question when she thinks it will benefit her in some way. Loves causing strife wherever she goes. Holds herself as if she were Princess Celestia herself.
Meeting the colts that would be her friends tempered her demeanor, becoming more docile and empathetic towards them. However, nothing changed outside this friend circle.
Appearance: Normal Appearance
False: A greyish lavender alicorn filly with dull green eyes and a wavy black mane.
Cutie Mark: None (False Cutie Mark is of three black letters, consumed in violet flames)
Skills: Has figured out the gist of her transformation abilities, being able to assume the form and voice of most foals, and the appearance of a few adult mares that resemble her in colour or manestyle. Due to controlled intake of love, she has had little chance to develop her magic, and still hasn’t figured out how to fly (As changelings and pegasi have different methods for flight, and no one knows if there are any adults of her kind present in Canterlot).
Other: Discovered at the edge of the Everfree Forest when she was a baby. Given up by her adoptive parents to royalty, due to the changeling nymph’s destructive tendancies and cruel nature. Celestia herself had tried to curb this behaviour, to no avail.
Best friends with Cave and Gray. Usually comes up with unnecessarily cruel plans that not even her friends find anything in. The trio occasionally join forces with the other kids to take out a common enemy.
Not changeling royalty, but likes to pretend that she's the daughter of her hive's queen.

Name: Cavern ‘Cave’ Zephyr
Age: 9
Gender: Male
Species: Pegasus
Personality: Bold and brave, and generally considered the leader of his gang of troublemakers. Ideas seem to perpetually flow from his mind, whether half-baked schemes or the occasional genuinely good idea. Arrogant and cocky, quick-tongued. Ambitious, and loves doing something to get himself recognition. Disregards his own safety when up to one of his schemes, and only cares slightly more for that of his friends.
Appearance: Golden tan, with a scruffy brown mane and tail. Olive brown eyes. Quite tall and lanky, with wings to match.
Cutie Mark: A gold and white compass rose
Skills: While not displaying any particular flight talent, Cave is a great leader and has a sense on what to do that will lead him and his allies to greatness (Or a free pie, whatever works).
Other: His father is a well-known scientist in Canterlot, and Cave's greatest rolemodel. Has an intense dislike and rivalry with Eldritch, bolsted by the fact that he's stronger than the unicorn, and usually has one of his cronies or two by his side (Compare their relationship as a parallel between James and Snape's in Harry Potter).

Name: Gray Sage
Age: 9
Gender: Male
Species: Earth Pony
Personality: Quiet and shy, intelligent. Calm, rational and nonviolent, basically the opposite of his hotheaded friends. Quite sensitive. Often seen studying if not making mischeif with his friends. Is a fan of the genres dark, sad and tragedy, often seen in the library with books with these themes.
Appearance: Light grey with a black mane and tail. Light orange eyes, with the irises ringed with light green. Quite short for his age, being at least a head shorter than Cave, and often looks tired.
Cutie Mark: None.
Skills: Has made accurate predictions, using both the situation at hand and the possible aspects to determine a likely outcome. The most common use of this, however, is by creating hyper-realistic scenarios with his model of Canterlot and the few-dozen pony figures he had managed to procure (Including one of Princess Celestia, and an inaccurate model of Nightmare Moon). Most of these simulations turn out disasterous. Physically a unicorn (With the weaker muscles and stamina), but without the horn.
Other: An orphan, though he is rarely seen at the orphanage. Has shown little interest in finding out the identity of his parents, and whether they are alive or not, mentioning that he doesn't need to know his heritage and what he is in order to become great.
Has managed to keep out of trouble thus far, leaving his friends to take the bulk of the blame, because he's smart enough to not leave traces of his presence. This irritates them.
Often asks Cave's dad about science-y things.
Gray has expressed that he wishes that he was a unicorn, and isn't about to let the lack of a horn stop him.

Name: Eldritch
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Species: Unicorn
Personality: Boastful and a bit of a show off. Eccentric, often spouting nonsense about being great, powerful and immortal. Has an unsettling obsession with dark magic, such as summoning creatures from the depths of Tartarus itself, and is even rumoured to practice necromancy. Is a little confused and hurt about why no one likes him, further causing him to drive the wedge between himself and others, and genuinely wants an actual friend. Has an explosive temper, which is frequently tipped by the headstrong colts that prank him on a daily basis.
Appearance: Dull black coat, with a darker mane and tail. Bright green eyes, which almost seem to glow at times. Scrawny and sickly-looking, with a spindly, almost sinister-looking horn.
Cutie Mark: None.
Skills: Has displayed an interest in the arcane magic of the zebra race, and learning what he can about the offensive side of it. Has managed to produce smokescreens and magical fire on his own, produced by various powders and his own magic.
Other: Considered creepy and an outcast even by other children because of his eccentric behaviour. Has a preference for dark, dusty places full of ancient tomes, where he can research in peace. Tends to slip into the Old Equestrian dialect, which earns the young unicorn certain embarrassment when in public. Very sensitive to both heat and cold.
Born in the Badlands, one of the few unicorns that have been conceived there in the past millennia, a fact which he wisely doesn't flaunt about.

obvious old people made kids from valve games u cant stop me hhh hh

Name: Amber Mist
Age: 9
Gender: Female
Species: Unicorn
Personality: Happy and optimistic, usually trying her best to look on the positive side of things, and tries to get others to see it too. However, if anyone picks on her or her friends, she will get incredibly defensive and won't back down until there's an apology.
Appearance: This, but younger.
Cutie Mark: A paint palette laid over top of a pencil and paintbrush.
Skills: Is a terrific artist, and can levitate many objects with ease.
Other: She dreams of her artwork being all over Equestria some day. Is best friends with Coppermine, and has just met Tavern Tap. Her family is considered upper middle class.

Name: Coppermine
Age: Equivalent to a ten year old pony.
Gender: Male
Species: Dragon
Personality: A little on the shy side, but is sweet all around. Rather than the image portrayed of dragons being ferocious and evil, Copper would rather go pick flowers or play tag with ponies. If upset, he can either get very angry or very sad, depending on the situation.
Appearance: (Main appearance with Ambers) He's roughly the size of a foal, perhaps a little bigger. When wearing a special amulet, everyone sees him as a pegasus foal with green eyes and a dark blue mane with a streak of olive green.
Cutie Mark: None.
Skills: Can run pretty fast, can glide with his small wings, and can shoot tiny bursts of blue fire (it doesn't burn though).
Other: Was adopted by two unicorns who work for Princess Celestia. When they found out the Princess had a dragons egg that she wasn't sure what to do with, the unicorn couple volunteered to raise the baby inside as their own, being unable to have children themselves. The male was an alchemist in the castle, and the female was a mage. Together they forged a special amulet that, when wearing it, Coppermine would appear as a young pegasus foal. Is best friends with Amber Mist.

Name: Tavern Tap
Age: 8
Gender: Male
Species: Earth Pony
Personality: Pretty quiet at the moment, but is usually pretty confident and talkitive. Doesn't like to talk about his home life or his mother, and tries to change the subject when it comes up. Can get really aggressive when he's made fun of, and tries to hide his hurt and sadness.
Appearance: This, but younger.
Cutie Mark: None
Skills: Is a talented singer, and can even dance a little.
Other: His mother is an abusive alcoholic, and the two of them have just moved to Canterlot from Manehatten. Can usually be found during the day sitting outside of one of the bars, where his mother spends most of her time. At night, he's usually in the yard of his apartment, or in the park across the street.

Appearance: She has a light lavender coat, with a dark grey mane. Her mane has two lighter grey stripes in it and is styled into slight ringlet curls at the end. She has a pair of bright green glasses on a chain around her neck, used to help her sight but she only wears them when she is with her parents. Her tail is cut shortish, and styled neatly. Her eyes are fully black, until she uses dark magic and then her pupil is slit like and red and her eyes glow green.

Accepted c:

Is this RP still happening?

I'll write up a starting post after school, there isn't any time now.

Okey dokey!

Name: Ash
Age: 22
Species: Earth Pony
Personality: shy, quiet, but kind and generous. Multi-personality: Evil, sick minded, and very sadistic. Insane basically.
Appearance: (have yet to post his officially) a regular sized young adult earth pony with a white body, two tone grey spiked back mane. Deep blue eyes, or light brown(alternate), somewhat matted tail that reaches a few inches off the ground.
Cutie Mark: left half water(or tear) drop, right half a flame
Skills: Can swim well and knows just about anything that can burn, make a fire, or explode..
Other: you don't want to be around when he breaks(alternates). He like foals, and enjoys watching them play as he remembers his own childhood. Often cries when he remembers what he has done as his other self. Not only will his eyes determine his switch, but his main is a little messy(which he fixes everytime he "returns").

OOC: Accepted.

"Stop! Stop those foals!" the furious yell carried down Canterlot's market street, after a trio of dull-coloured foals. The little ponies had the advantage of speed, size, and not having to look after a stall, after all, and were easily able to escape from the stall owners wrath. The three ducked into an alley, unloading their precious loot of apples. A clean two dozen.
"Good job, team!" Cave laughed, bouncing up and down.
"I don't know." Helene replied drily, her alicorn disguise burning away with green flame. "We could've easily snagged another half dozen or so."
"It wouldn't have worked." Gray said, biting into an apple idly. "Someone would've been caught. You know Applebits, her bite is worse than her bark."

Tavern Tap was, as usual, sitting outside of a bar in one of the slightly more run down neighbor hoods of the capital. He sighed and spun his hat around in circles on his hoof.

The sound of hooves against the cobblestone street caught his attention, and he glanced up. A carriage was coming down the street at a rather slow pace, and the pony pulling it looked quite distraught.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I could've sworn this was Royal Boulevard.." the carriage pony was saying, his ears flattening against his skull.

"Sorry isn't going to fix the fact that we're in this wasteland!" shouted one of the ponies riding in the carriage. She looked very unhappy, and her friend looked just as unhappy and slightly afraid. "Get us back to the east side!"

The second pony poked the loud one in the ribs with a hoof and pointed at Tavern Tap. The young colt flinched under the harsh looks of the two upperclass unicorns, and fixated his eyes at the ground below him when they started to snicker.

-

Amber Mist uncovered her ears, which quickly flattened against her head. She'd been two stalls down when Applebit had started screaming at the trio that had taken her produce. If she'd been a little older, she'd definitely taken chase to get the apples back. However, she knew two of the ponies, and by extension knew that they were always getting into trouble like that.

Amber, meanwhile, had just bought a small basket of carrots and a muffin with bits that she'd fairly earned from doing chores for her parents and looking after her baby sister. Today her mother had the day off from work, so Amber had gotten her allowance early and was allowed to go out and play. She'd decided to get some snacks, and then go find Tavern Tap and introduce him to Coppermine.

While having only met Tavern Tap a little less than a week ago, they were already getting pretty close. The earth colt had admitted to the unicorn filly that he'd never really had any friends back home, so Amber wanted to make him feel as welcome as possible in Canterlot.

She heard the apple seller muttering something, but Amber just rolled her eyes and trotted off out of the market center, basket of carrots in mouth.

Shadow Glow trotted through the market, searching for one of her friends. She had heard a stall holder yelling, but that was not unusual. Many stall holders had wares nicked by little trouble makers, or would get angry while haggling for prices and raise their voices. She found it difficult being in areas like this around so many other ponies, she never felt like she fitted in. After looking around for a bit she realised neither of her friends were at the market, and so she trotted off towards another area they often frequented, a fountain near where she lived.

Thunder Dancer flew around above Lockhart, splashing water from the spray of the fountain at him. "She is taking ages!" she complained, looking bored.
"She'll be here, she probably went to the market first." Lockhart said. looking up at Thunder Dancer and getting a face full of water. He sighed and shook his wet mane out of his eyes. "Do you have to do that?" he asked
"Yeahp. Sure do...." Thunder Dancer said with a laugh

While the changeling and the earth pony continued have a go at the others throat, Cave traced a map in the dirt, frowning as he scratched paths through it with a hoof.
"Hmm, the only way out is back throu- Damnit." he muttered, looking up. Ponies were still bustling through the busy street outside. "Damnit, alright."
"What?" Helene asked pointedly. "Where we headed?"
"Back out the way in. Naturally."
"Damnit." the changeling got up, wings buzzing. "Now, or later? Ol' crabapple is probably still out there."
"We'll go the other way."
"She alerted the whole market."
"You're a changeling, no one will know.
"And you two aren't!"
"She's right, C." Gray said. "You stand out like the princess in a crowd of commoners, so to speak. They all know your act."
"Then we will run, and we will run faster than them!"

Amber trotted happily through the streets. A few older ponies frowned at her as she passed, but she shrugged it off. A lot of foals her age were getting into deep trouble these days, so adults were wary around her.

-

After the carriage had gone past, Tavern Tap began to lick some dirt away from his light brown coat. He didn't like the fact that he had such a disheveled appearance, but his mother was rarely sober enough to run him a proper bath.

Back home in Baltimare he would just rinse himself in rain barrels. But then it also rained a lot more in Baltimare than it did in Canterlot.

OOC: Alright then. I'll have her just belive she can change. That sorta thing.

Starlight Soar rushed through the streets, off to find a good candy shop. She got to a patio and jumped on, then started flapping her wings furiously and spread them wide, taking off after spilling a AU e glass.
"Sorry!" Starlight said to an angry colt below her. She flew up high, and saw other foals flying along. Then she spotted it. A pink shop with a giant lollipop on top of it.
-----------------------
Crescent Sun suited up in her beautiful dress. She trotted down the stairs.
"Mother, I'm off to the candy shop with the other fillies." She yelled into her mother's bedroom.
She was adopted, she didn't know, but she was. What Crescent was also oblivious to was the fact she was a changeling. A couple found her on the street when they were walking home, both badly drunk. They took her in and when they became sober the next day they realized she was a changeling.
Crescent Sun teleported to the candy store and pushes the other unicorns who had teleported out of the way.

Ash was like a blur as he bolted from corner to corner, trying to avoid sight. Hair a mess, and panting from the workout, which was more of a speed hiding act. He stopped when the little artist unicorn trotted by. The light brown irises flashed to blue after he blinked a few times. I see her everyday, but she never notices... "Probably because you always hide. And it's best we not get involved with the stink eyed stuck up rich folks. Hate to see another common house fire take their snared smiles and snickering tauntiness. Besides, it'd be creepy for you, her, and to the others who see us talk," You're speaking aloud again. Ash sucked up his lips as he retreated back into the ally to fix his mane.

With normal curved spikes, he turned on to the street across from the one he spotted Amber on. Reaching the corner quickly, also trying to avoid suspicion. Looking down the crossing of the streets, he awaited the little filly to come to the crossing as well.

Amber Mist tilted her head as her eyes focused on the candy shop down the street. She grinned, and thought of how happy it would make Tavern Tap if she'd brought him some sweets. She quickly secured her basket of carrots to her back, then trotted into the store.

Seeing that there was a decent line-up at the register, she pulled one of the smaller carrots out of her basket and quietly snacked away, glancing at a few other fillies. She noticed that one of them was severely overdressed for a simple candy run. Amber herself wouldn't wear a dress that high class when going out for dinner with her parents.

"Fair enough." Gray said, before the trio dashed from the alley, each sharing a bag of apples between them. The troublemakers went undisturbed as they headed for the usual foal hangout place of the field just outside the city.
"No one?" Helene asked, looking around. "That's a surprise."
"It's still morning." Gray shrugged. "Probably still asleep or in the market or something."

--

Eldritch lurked in a dark corner of the candy shop, browsing through several different kinds of liquorice.
"Bah," he muttered under his breath, bright green magic sparking to life as he picked up a packet. "What blasted candy shop doesn't have the classic flavour? Blasphemous." A couple of foals nearby giggled at his choice in language, which he promptly ignored.

Shadow Glow trotted up to her friends,"Sorry I'm late..." she said, smiling at them. She knew that they wouldn't really care though. She looked up at Thunder Dancer, and then down at Lockhart, noticing that the little colt was soaked. "Maybe we should go somewhere else..." she said
"How 'bout just outside of the city, cause then I can really fly about!" Thunder Dancer said, flying down and hovering just above the ground.
"Okay, sounds good. What do you think Lockhart?" Shadow Glow asked. Lockhart just shrugged and nodded. Thunder Dancer grinned, and raced off, leaving Lockhart and Shadow Glow to follow behind at a slower pace.

Amber glanced over at the unicorn colt with strange dialogue, and reminisced about a period of time that Coppermine talked like that. He'd insisted to her that it was an older way of speaking, but it was the way that the dragon leaders of that age spoke to Princess Celestia when they were making peace treaties.

Speaking of Copper... she thought to herself. I should probably get him some cinnamon zingers.

The purple unicorn put the rest of her carrot back in her basket, then trotted over to the shelf with different types of cinnamon flavored candy. After squinting, she quickly found the box she was looking for and collected it with her magic. She smiled apologetically at Eldritch as she stepped around him to get back to the line up.

Eldritch looked around coldly, before focusing on the shelf again, picking up a different packet with his magic.
"Fine, I suppose this will have to do, won't it?" he asked himself, turning around to head for the back of the line. "Fantastic."

Ash trotted out toward the candy shop, "You have no money," Stop speaking to yourself, its more awkward than going to a candy shop without bits. He then froze looking in at the fillies from a distance, "If I could get just a mint..." he could feel his mouth water a little. The little girl seems rather nice, maybe she will hoof up one. "You're not hurting her, the children are off limits, you agreed."

Helene walked around in a circle, the changeling going up in green flames every few steps, and emerging as a different filly or colt every time.
"What the hell are you doing?" Gray asked, the small colt sitting in the shade of a tree.
"Dunno." she replied with a southern accent, currently in the guise and voice of a light green filly with blonde braids and orange eyes (cough), before burning away to reveal the black and purple nymph. "Just practising, I guess."
"Try being Celestia, we could benefit from it later." Cave suggested.
Helene laughed, stopping. "Even if I could pretend to be Celestia, why would I? She's an old bore with no sense of how to have fun!"
"It'd be a- hang on." Gray cut himself off, standing up. "Yes... That would play out nicely." With that, he dashed off towards Canterlot's gates, leaving his two friends alone in the field.

Amber plopped down on the floor, sighing as the line just wasn't moving. Glancing around, she caught a glimpse of a white earth pony. She realized she had seen him before around the city, he stuck out in a crowd. She really didn't know anything about him though.

-

Tavern Tap yawned, then glanced down the street. A little unicorn named Amber Mist had promised to meet up with him here today. He couldn't help but wonder if she'd realized what a freak he was and decided to stay home.

-

Just then, a little brown colt was running through the streets. But he didn't move like any other pony. His front legs struck the ground first, propelling him forward until his back legs overlapped and pushed him on. Many adult ponies stared at him with confusion, only to notice that the young pegasus' tongue was also hanging out of the side of his mouth. Rather than his wings tucked against his sides or flapping slightly in time to his speed, they were simply sprawled out behind him.

Yes, there was something very odd about this little pony.

Ash went from one side of the windows to the other till his eyes caught the filly looking his way, Is she looking at me? his head sank a little as he backed away some. His rear touching a wall which startled him. He seized up and fell in to a ball. A few seconds passed with nothing, so he peered through his front legs at the store.

Amber Mist was confused by the older ponys actions, and quickly looked away. Poor guy, I better not stare, that might embarrass him... she thought.

-

Meanwhile, the little brown colt lost his footing and tumbled right into a unicorn couple. They both shouted in anger at him, to which the colt flattened his ears against his skull and began to repeatedly mutter his apologies.

"Ugh, it's bad enough that there's pegasus trash walking our streets," the mare snorted haughtily. "But now they have the audacity to let their spawns run loose?"

The young pegasus didn't seem to offended by their words, which just further upset them. "Get out of our way you winged rat!" the stallion yelled, rearing up and stomping his hooves down in front of the colt.

An unearthly snarl ripped from the colts throat, corresponding with him baring his teeth at the couple. Fear flashed across their faces before they remembered that this was only a child. The glared at him and then trotted off in a hurry.

Gray trotted up the main street, thoughts and idea coming together in his mind.
Nightmare Moon... Celestia... those two names were consistent. Daymare? No, no... Umbrae... Nova. Umbrae Nova, Solar Flare, the dread queen of the eternal day.
"Yes, perfect." he muttered with satisfaction.

Ash's ear perked up when the yelling couple's anger hit his mind. Pupils dilated immediately, "Who screams first, screams last," the irises turned a light brown as he stood up slowly, "Why do you keep your hair so clean?" he shook his head to let his mane flop loosely, "There, now, lets go say hi to those uptight ingrates shall we," he turned and ran rather quickly in the direction of the noisy adults. Finding the filly in who had ran into them, "You," he stopped to look at the young Pegasus, "Might I ask who it was that made such a ruckus?"

Amber had barely heard the noise, and didn't even notice Ash run out of the shop.

-

The brown colt jumped, startled by yet another adult. His ears pinned to his head and he flared his wings to look tough. "Look mister, I don't want any trouble. It was just some stuck up unicorns."

OOC: side note, Ash never entered the shop, only looked into it from across the street. ;) creepsta

Ash took a deep breath, "I have agreed to not hurt children," he said looking up. Turning back to the Pegasus, "I just want to find who was yelling at you kid," his eyes were wide and his head was slightly tilted.

OOC: Whoops, it seemed like he was inside! My bad~

The young colt leaned back a little, causing the amulet around his neck to reflect the sunlight. "It's water under the bridge, mister. 'Sides, I get treated like that most every day, it's no big deal."

He thought for a second, So much for helping the brat... Ah ha!, he returned his head to it's proper position, "Well I actually recognized their voices... Old friends, wanted to say "hi" and all," his eyes were still rather jumpy, but he stood still.

The colt frowned a little. "Gee mister, you really have nasty friends." he said simply, fiddling with his amulet. He glanced back up at the pony, feeling a little nervous the more time he spent around him.

"They normally are... They don't take to kids too well... They say stuff to make it seem fun..." he started slipping, " Oh forget it!" he turned and bucked a nearby crate, cracking the side open slightly. He turned away frustrated, "It has to be kids huh?" he stamped a hoof. His legs then dropped his body to the ground. He layed there on his hooves for a second before turning slowly to the little Pegasus behind him. Irises now blue and wide again, he quickly turned away, Stop it, just leave them alone. You can satisfy yourself some other time!

The brown pegasus blinked in confusion and slight fear. "I-I-I...I'll j-just b-be going n-now..." he said, just loud enough for the pony to hear before turning on his hooves and running off.

Great, another filly who is scared of me... Us... Whatever! Ash sighed lightly before standing up, I just want to go home now... he started down the road in the direction he was facing. Back by the candy shop, "But it's still early, and you don't own anything besides the one bed and scarce food. What could you possibly do," Speaking aloud for me again... Well I could always mope with my face in the pillow. I'm a child at heart, but the kids are scared of me because my age... And you,. He stopped and raised his head to lean back a little, "Me!?"

Gray walked by the candy shop, his mind still swirling with the various scenarios of what would happen if Celestia went insane.
"Not jealousy... envy, maybe... hmm."

Amber Mist looked over to see yet another pony wander into the shop, muttering to himself. Then it dawned on her.

"Hey!" she cried, pointing a hoof at him accusingly. "You're one of the ponies who took apples from the market today!"

Gray looked up, somewhat irritated at being disturbed. "Hm? Oh, uh, yeah, I... suppose?"

Amber frowned, turning herself to face him completely. "Why would you steal from somepony?" she asked with a disapproving tone.

"I-" Gray paused, then began again. "Look. I'm just the one who makes sure nothing bad happens. I don't plan these things. It was distasteful, I know, but it was more of a revenge plot, so to speak." He paused, a twisted smile on his tired face.

Ambers brows merged together. Revenge? she thought, confused. Why in the world would a pony my age think about something like that? That's only adults who are like that...

She quickly shook the feeling away, the frown returning. She gave a small snort and turned away from Gray, not wanting to associate with a thief.

Gray straightened up indignantly. "You'd be angry too if someone refused to sell a friend something because they're not a pony!" he yelled after Amber, before shivering and stalking away.
