“Hey! Sweetie come over here a minute I want to talk to you,” said the voice of a stallion who seemed to have way too much to drink waved a hoof and smiled.

A dark grey mare with her black mane tied up in a ponytail - levitating a tray and walking among the tables picking up empty glasses and smiling at all of the rough looking caravanners who always happened to show up in these place-looked up and smiled at him. “Yes?” She said trotting over to the table, “Do you need anything else?” She looked between the three of them, and one of them was already passed out, but the other two seemed to be having a drinking contest.
The hairs on the back of her neck stood on end and she tensed a little when a hoof contacted with her left flank where her cutie mark was, which was hidden by the uniform that she had unluckily had chosen for her since she was the newest girl that Cinnamon employed. “You have some pretty strong legs for a callmare sweetie?” He said smiling, his hoof still swirling around the edge of her uniform.
“Well…um…I’m not a callmare…exactly I’m just a server sir,”she said as she tried to ignore the hoof, like it wasn’t there, and holding out the platter she asked, “Do you want me to bring you anything?” She was trying to keep her magic steady and the platter as well but the glasses were slightly vibrating, which the stallion seemed to enjoy.

“What’s wrong? Is this exciting you…” he said as he chuckled and rubbed a little harder while trying to get it closer to her tail.

“Pork…stop it…look at her you’re scaring her” The second stallion put his hoof out and pushed Pork’s dark orange hoof away. “You can go now, Pork and I will be heading out soon” He smiled and waved a little.

“What! No!” Pork reached out and grabbed the grey mare’s tail in his mouth and pulled, causing her to drop the tray on him and cover him with a bunch of unfinished liquor, beer and water.
The grey mare gasped and was apologizing, when a familiar metal tube was pressed against the top of her head.

“GET UP! RIGHT NOW!” Pork sounded so angry that the mare could understand what he said even though his mouth was around the handle of a gun that was pressed against the top of her head.

“Pork! Stop it! Do you want to get us kicked out of here just like every other brothel in this stupid town!”

“No! No, Drop,I’m not having this slut of a pony drop all of this stuff and not get me anything in return! So stand up!” Pork said as he pushed the gun against the grey mare’s head again, and she slowly started to stand. “Now I want you to come with me and help me clean all of this up and then we can spend the night together!” He smiled and still held the gun out, but before he could do anything else, a glass of Wild Pegasus was smashed on his head, causing him to fall in a heap but not before closing his mouth- due to the glass- and shot off a shot hitting the wall right behind the mare, who had curled up into a ball.

“Miss Weaver are you alright…are these ponies bothering you?” A large dark brown unicorn wearing a thick armored coat was peering down at her, but the mare just stayed on the ground and kept whimpering. Frowning, the unicorn looked up at the second Stallion that had tried to get Pork away from the mare, and he was getting closer to the mare trying to help, but the unicorn stopped him. “Step away from Miss weaver or you’ll suffer worse then your friend right here!” He said, picking up another half empty glass and levitated it near him. The other stallion just backed off trying to wake up the third stallion who hadn’t stirred the whole time.

“Come on miss Weaver we should go see the boss…he’ll want me to bring you to him” He slowly scooped up miss Weaver and carefully put her on his back and walked through the bar. All of the ponies that had stopped what they had been doing to watch, but as he walked by they went back to what they were doing.
He opened a wooden door that was set behind the bar and walked through it, leading into a long hallway that looked like somepony had tried to clean it up to the best of their ability, but it still looked dirty. Soon, he was passing by the two bathrooms and one…sounded like it was getting used very well at the moment, but even so they kept walking toward a door at the very end of the hall that had a large sign that read BOSS.

The unicorn knocked with a brown hoof. “Sir…we have a problem”
There was a commotion from the other side of the door and then some hoof steps. “Why are you here? You know that I don’t like anypony just knock on the door” The pony on the other side sounded tired.

“You told me to bring any of the girls to you as soon as possible if anything bad happened to them and one of them…Miss Weaver was threatened at gunpoint and she’s a whimpering mess right now…” He turned his head and Weaver was sniffling now.

“OH! Oh why didn’t you say so! Come bring her in here right now!” The unicorn heard a bunch of locks being turned and keypads pressed and then the door swung open and a tiny earth pony with a messed up mane and an eye patch over one of his eyes was looking at Miss Weaver. “Come on put her on the couch and then you can leave Brick” He scurried over to an old freying couch and he swept off a bunch of old papers onto the floor.
When the unicorn put Miss weaver on the couch she just turned away and curled up trying to hide inside it’s cushions.
“You can go now Brick if you’re not out there then more of my girls are going to get hurt!” The boss pony waved a hoof toward the door and kept doing it till the brown unicorn walked out. Then he just closed all of his locks down again. “Time…Time Weaver hey…” He walked over and patted the Grey mare.
She just curled up some more and a sob finally came out of her mouth.
“There we go…let it out. What happened? Can you talk to me about it?” He asked as he sat on the couch and turned his patting into small little swirls on her coat. “Want to take off the uniform? I won't send you back out today…it’s okay come on talk to me” He leaned in to try and get a look at her face.
She sat up a little and looked up through her tears. “I…I almost…died…” She whimpered a little and looked at him hoping he’d make her feel better.

He smiled sadly and looked back at her. “I know…and I am sorry about that but you knew that this job would be dangerous when you took it. Now don’t get me wrong, you’ve heard about Sticky Slick’s operation at the end of the street right?” He continued when she nodded. “Well somepony went in and killed two of his girls when they wouldn’t do what he wanted them to do, so you’re safer here then anywhere else and you’re safestr with me.” He rubbed her cheek and she giggled a little.

“I’m glad you let me stay boss..though some of the other girls…they don’t like how you hired me right off the bat when I just walked in that day” She looked between two of her grey hooves, a little embarrassed.

“Well what do they know? I knew a good girl when I saw one and you are one! You’re nice to the customers, you don’t get all mouthy when they touch you, though we’re probably going to have to work on that. Especially since you’re a unicorn and most Stallions love magical…favors from the other places that they go to.” He smiled at her but he was looking somewhere else other than her face.

“Well some of the girls have been…” She shook her head and her mane came a little loose from her ponytail and fell across her face. “I shouldn’t say…they wouldn’t like it”

“No come on tell me what are they doing!” His voice and expression hardened a little. “Are they hurting you Time? Cause if they are then I’ll tell them to stop!” He said, scooting a little closer to her.

“What! Oh nononono” She waved her hooves around. “They’ve been doing some of that stuff on the side and they’ve been talking about leaving you and going to somepony else” She looked like she had done something bad and she was starting to sulk.

“Don’t be like that Time, you didn’t do anything! Do you know who’s been talking about it? About who’s going…” He didn’t seem worried about it and he had gotten a little bit closer to the point where he could smell her. But she didn’t seem to notice that he had been getting closer. “I don’t want to say…they’re not going to want to talk to me if they know I told you what they want to do” she said, starting to sniffle again and tears were rolling down her face.

He was close enough to put a hoof on hers and she looked up and he was smiling at her. “You’re really beautiful Time but when you cry it hurts me that you’re so sad..” He was frowning now and the hoof he had touched her hoof with brushed away the tears.
Her eyes went wide and she tried to wiggle back but she was already up against the couches arm and she couldn’t retreat any further back. “S-sir…boss what are you doing?” She sounded a little worried and the thoughts of the other mare’s not talking to her were forgotten for the moment.

“Time you already know that you’re a mare not like any of the others right?” His hoof met hers and he rubbed it a little, but she pulled it away. “You’re also one of my favorite girls here.” With a smile, he moved his hoof from her hoof to her side and rubbed it across the uniform that she hadn’t taken off. “I am also glad that the girls decided to take my advice and left you the maid uniform for today’s shift. It’s always been my favorite”

She jumped off of the couch, her eyes wide. “You told them to give it to me…but we drew straws!” She sounded confused. “They also told me that the maid uniform is the one they liked the best and they all looked jealous when I got it…why did you tell them to give it to me!”
He sat there on the couch, looking a little sad that she had jumped away from him. “Because I always choose one of my girls to wear it every two weeks or so, but when I saw you…I knew that you’d be the one to wear it. Even if you’ve only been mine for 2 days” His smile turned from a warm loving one to one that almost mirrored the stallion that almost shot her back in the front of the bar.

“Y-yours…” She stepped back, almost tripping over a metal coffee table that was in front of the couch and in doing so, she pushed over more papers. “I’m not yours! I don’t belong to you! I work for you!”
He laughed at her, and she stopped moving backwards, hoping that this was all a joke and that she could go back to her little room next door and take a nap. “You do belong to me! You belong to me because without me you’d have been picked off by some nasty in the wasteland or like some of the more unlucky girls taken by slavers and sold to ponies like Sticky Slick and then get killed. You don’t want to get sold do you?” He had gotten off the couch and had walked around the coffee table to the other side so not to scare off Time.
She was sitting against the wall far away from him and she shook her head. “N-no…I don’t…” She looked around the room hoping to see something that she could use to defend herself if he decided to attack her, but all she saw were the same things that she saw when she was here the first time.

“Do you know why that outfit is my favorite Time?” He asked, a little oddly as he walked over to a shelf that had some stuff on it that looked a little to complicated for Time to understand.
She was still trying to find something to protect herself with so she didn’t hear that she was being asked a question.

“Time Weaver? Are you listening?” She gasped and turned to look at him like he had snuck up behind her and poked her and she nodded. “Good now I’ll ask again do you know why your outfit is my favorite?” She shook her head and looked down at It. “Well don’t worry none of the other girls knew about it either so you’re not alone in your ignorance” He turned around and he had a little box in his hoof.
It was a small black cube that only had a red dial on the top of it. He carried it as carefully as possible back to the table and placed it in front of him then he sat in front of it. She was looking at the box and for some reason she had a weird pressure near her horn like when she had been using too much magic and it would overload or right before it was about to overload but she didn’t know what was wrong with it it’s probably just from her emotions of what’s going on right now.

“Turns out that your little number was made before the war do you know how wonderful that is!” He clopped his hooves together like he was applauding its ability to survive a Magical apocalypse and not get destroyed in the 200 plus years after that. “It’s an ancient bondage outfit!!” He seemed overly giddy but Time just sat there looking confused and looking at her maid outfit.

“Bondage? What do you mean…is there something wrong about it?” She didn’t know what he was talking about and she didn’t matter unless it meant that it was dangerous for her to wear it and she wanted to get it off as soon as equinely possibly.

His smile came back just like the stallion from the front and he grabbed the little box in his hooves. “Well then let me have the pleasure of showing you just what that means” He chuckled and then he turned the dial to the left a little and looked up at time.
Time flinched when he turned the dial on the cube but once nothing happened she opened them again and looked at him. “I-is…is it going to do something…” She had worry in her voice hoping that it wasn’t broken and she’d just implode from ancient magic clothes.

“Yes just be patient Time oh look there it goes!”
She looked down but she didn’t have to look to know that something was happening because she wasn’t sitting down anymore the outfit had made her stand back up all on its on. “What’s it doing!” she was starting to panic now and was trying to set her haunches back onto the ground but the outfit’s skirt wouldn’t let them go down.

“It’s keeping you from moving…that’s the first setting there are 4 more!” He placed the cube back onto the table and slowly walked his way over to her and smiled when he saw her wiggle her head trying to get her body to move against the outfit. “Now you won’t move away when I’m near you” He got close enough and he reached out for her face even though she tried to move it away and rubbed her cheek. “Everyone of you always tries to fight me…and I don’t like it I take you in I treat you nicer than everypony else I give you anything that you need or want but you still run from my advances”
She still kept trying to move herself she even tried to use her magic but the pressure near her horn made it hurt to much to do anything.

“But the good news is that by the 3rd setting you’re all begging for me to do it to you again…but you know what I found out” He pushed her away from the wall so that he could walk around her. “I like it a lot when you girls fight it, it makes me more excited when I finally get to what I want” he slid his hoof across her side along the skirt and lacy blouse that was attached to it.

“What do you want!” She cried it out to him and tried to move away from his hoof starting to hyperventilate at how helpless she was just standing there and all he was doing was rubbing his hoof along her side.

“I want you Time…I want you to want me but most of all I just want me in you that’s all I want” He stopped in front of her. “I want you to let me inside you Time Weaver!” He turned away and went back to the couch and the little black cube.
Time didn’t say anything and she even stopped moving and just looked at the floor then everything started to come back to her the real reason she came here in the first place and why she had stayed here for two days. She was pretending to be Time Weaver the grey Unicorn Mare that was stuck in a bondage uniform she wore to work.

“Setting 2 is probably my favorite it lets me give little commands to the outfit and it moves your legs for you it’s not too strong mostly because this isn’t made for body control but it has it’s uses until we get to number 3 and then you submit and then you can have fun as well” He turned the dial to setting two and looked up at time. “Come here Time I want you to sit next to me again” He put the cube down and patted the couch next to him.
Time slowly walked back over to the couch and still didn’t look at him. She sat down where she was before she jumped off the couch and still didn’t look at him but she wasn’t struggling against the forced movement.

“Hm? You’re taking this easier than the other girls Time, is it sinking in that you aren’t able to fight against it and it’ll be easier just for you to listen to me?” He sat up against her so that he was touching her.
Time lifted a hoof and rubbed it against his face. “Come here you…” she looked up and was smiling at him. “You didn’t have to do this…you could have just asked me” Leans in so that her face was right next to his and she nuzzled his neck.
He gasped and put one of his hooves on her sides and tried to get closer to her. “But…all you girls say no…you always say no…” He sounded so sad and he turned his touching into a vulnerable hug.
Time hugged him back and patted him. “It’s alright I would have said no too” With him in her hug she looked up at the cube that was sitting on the table and with her magic she turned the dial back down to off and floated it behind the couch.
He sat up and looked dismayed. “Y-you would! But…” He seemed so hurt but then he saw her face and the sadness turned to confusion. “Time?” He frowns. “Can you give me another hug…”He held his hooves out and time came in and gave him another hug and squeezed him. He leaned up to kiss time but she leaned back and they both fell off the couch.

“Boss? Why are you trying to kiss me? I just told you that I don’t want you” Time held her hooves against his chest and because she was taller than him his hooves were flailing toward her.

“Time I want you to put me down and kiss me back!” He stopped moving waiting for her to put him down and kiss him. She lowered her hooves and puckered her lips but before he was able to lean down to get at them her puckered lips turned into a smile .

“Psyche!” She pumped her hooves and sent him flying into the wall and he just fell in a heap on the floor. She stood up and walked behind the couch and lifted up the box with her magic and she trotted over to the boss pony.
He was coughing and trying to stand up but all he did was look up at her. “Time Weaver…why!” He started coughing and tried to sit up but his legs wouldn’t hold his weight. She walked up and sat down in front of him patting him with her hoof just like he did when she was brought in to his office. He winched in pain and she just pressed her hoof against his side and heard some crackling.

“I guess I broke something huh? Well I’m sorry but you were coming onto me pretty strong” He cried out when she pressed against him to stand up.

“Wh-where did…Time Weaver…go” He was gasping for air and it sounded raspy.

“I’m right here silly!” giggles and pats him making him wince. “Oh sorry but I’m her but not her do you get it?” She was purposely prodding at his broken ribs knowing full well that they were broken.
He nodded and tried to crawl away from her but he couldn’t move without getting hurt.

“Alright now…” Floats the cube near his face. “I came for this and only this so I’ll leave you here with your broken rib and anything else that broke when I threw you into the wall” She gets up and turns away from him.

“Wait! Please! Time…” He wraps his hoof around her hind leg to keep her from walking away. “Don’t…” He was wheezing now. “I'm…sorry…that I…tried…to…take…you…”He was having a hard time talking now. “Please…don’t…hurt…anypony…out there…” He was holding onto time’s hoof even more trying to convey his message. “If…you’re…angry…” But time kicked his hoof away and turned around just to look down at him.

“I’m not angry” Keeps looking down at him like she was thinking about something. “And I’m not going to hurt anypony like I said I just came for this cube” She shook the cube in his face and it softened. “I’m sorry that I had to deceive you and then hurt you…” For some reason a thought of her staying and taking care of him till he felt better ran through her mind and she just stamped a hoof to clear it out. “But you deserved it for what you wanted to do to me!” And she turned away again and walked over to the door with the too many locks. She turned her head to look back at the pony who had taken her in and gave her food and a place to stay and helped her feel safe when some of the ponies had tried to attack her on her first day there. “NO!” She hit her head against the door. “That wasn’t me…stop it…” She focused on the locks and used her magic to unlock them.

“Time Weaver…”

“My name’s not Time Weaver!!” Turns and glares back at him.

“Fine…” He had managed to sit up against the wall and he was holding his side with a hoof but he was still wheezing. “For…whatever…reason…you’re doing…this…if…you…ever…need…a…place” He started to cough and sat there wheezing. “…you…can…come…back?” He looked up and smiled at her and time stood there frozen looking at him then she yelled and kicked at the door open after she had unlocked it and then just stormed right out of his office.

“Bye…Time Weaver…”
She managed to get to her room without bringing any unwanted attention to herself and then she was raging inside magically throwing the stuff that the other girls had given her around the room and throwing the chair against the wall and pulling the covers off the bed and then just spinning them around hitting the walls and the ceiling and the floor. “ARRRGGHHH!!!” She managed to break a leg off of the chair and start whacking a pillow until the feathers started to come out.
She stood among the mess of her room with feathers floating about and landing on everything breathing hard then she picked up her hoof and stared at the dark blue scar among the grey fur on her hoof. “This is all your fault!” she glared at it like she’s been doing every time a job went bad or her thoughts were turning against her and made her want to help the ponies she had just hurt. “Always your fault! Always! Whenever I’m about to leave you…you always make it so hard!!” She slammed her hoof against the wall but it hurt her and she yelled. “OW!”

“Ms. Weaver?” The Brown Stallion opened her door and looked surprised when he saw all of the damage around her room. “Are you okay! Is there somepony in here” He magically pulled out a baseball bat from behind him and held it out.

“What? No! No…I…I did this…” She looked around almost like she was seeing it for the first time. “I’m…sorry I was…” She sighed and sat on the bed and looked back up at him frowning. “You don’t have to call me Miss Weaver anymore…that’s not who I am.”

“I know you’re not” He walked in and closed the door but he still had the baseball bat out.

“What!” She looked up and leaned back.
He walked up and pointed the baseball bat at her. “I recognized you from before…” He nodded. “Back when I was working as a mercenary I was hired by a pony named Corn Chip” But time just kept looking at the baseball bat.

“That…doesn’t ring any bells” She shook her head.

“Well to many of the mares that he fancied he would use the name Big john” He chucked when her eyes got big and then she sighed.

“Oh him…I well…I wasn’t the one who you know cut it off…you know I was just…” She was starting to panic now that she remembered who he was talking about.

“Calm down I’m not here for that he got what he deserved he never paid me what he agreed to which is why I came here to work for the Boss” Then his smile faded and he was glaring now. “Who you just came back from hurting and you just left him there!” He swung with the bat and Time jumped back avoiding it and cowered in the corner.

“I’m sorry! I…he was going to rape me!” She yelled it back at I'm and held her hoof up trying to protect herself.

“Don’t start that! You’d say anything to get yourself out of here he treats his girls way nicer than any of the other stallions around here” He tried to hit Time again but she ducked down and curled her head down.

“STOP! PLEASE!” She was shaking a little. “C-corky…p-please!” Time looked up at him and he faltered a little just enough for Time to jump at him taking the bat away from him and crashing into him throwing them both to the floor.

Corky kicked out with his hoof connecting to one of Time’s eyes and she lay there dazed from the force of the kick. “Now you’re coming with me Time Weaver if that’s your real name and you’re going to get what’s coming to you for hurting the boss!”He magically put his baseball bat away and grabbed the edge of her blouse near her neck and slowly pulled her back into the hallway with his magic.
Time was groaning from the kick to her eye but when she noticed that she was moving away from her room she started to struggling and try and get the outfit off of her.

“Stop moving or I’ll tie you up and bring them to you!” Bangs her head against the wall of the hallway and she stopped moving but right before they got to the end of the hallway she managed to twist around and bit down on his hoof causing his magic to dispel and him stop walking to get Time off. “GET OFF OF ME!” He was about to hit time in the head with his hoof but she rolled away and turned to run off but before he could react and stop turning around to stomp her she reared back and bucked him with her rear hooves when he leaned down to stomp her. With that he fell on the ground with a loud thud knocked out.
Time was breathing heavy and sweating a little from all of this physical activity she was doing that she wasn’t used to she was just a waitress not a fighter. “Wait…no I’m not a waitress!” She headbutted the wall again but winced when her eye started hurting again she turned around and looked at the brown stallion that had saved her life. “I’m sorry Corky…I had to…you need to forgive me…” She patted his shoulder and he moaned and rolled over onto his belly.

“…and you know that I didn’t want to do it but he didn’t give me any choice” the voice of one of the other girls was coming from the other side of the door.

“Can’t let them see me!” She turned and trotted back to her room right before the door opened and she heard the gasps of the two other girls when they saw corky on the ground asleep. “Man…I didn’t think it would be so hard to get out of here…” She sighed and looked over to the mirror that had miraculously not shattered when she was having her tantrum and the mare that was looking back at her had a black eye already forming. “ow…” She was prodding it a little and it was tender already.

“TIME! DID YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO CORKY HE’S ON THE…woah did you finally let some stallion rut you into a hole?” A light blue earth pony with a dark blue mane was looking around the room at all of the damage.

“What?! No! I just…what were you talking about Corky?” Time had spun around and just clopped her hooves together nervously.

“Oh…IT’S JUST TERRIBLE SOMEONE HAS KNOCKED HIM OUT! AND NOW SPARKLE IS FREAKING OUT!!” She was screaming again even though she wasn’t freaking out anymore

“Shiny…stop screaming please! It’s hurting my head…” Time covered her ears.

“What do you mean…”She gasped and somehow closed the distance between them faster than time could blink her eyes. “Somepony hurt you too! Who was it what did they want!” She gasped again and pushed time onto the bed. “The boss!” then she just ran out of Time’s room and closed her door.
Time was laying on her back on the bed just staring at the ceiling. “That is one pony that I’m not going to regret leaving!” Time rolled over back onto her hooves and went back down to the door. She opened the door and stuck her head out and looked left and right in the hallway but all she saw was the body of Corky on the ground still on his back and then the voices of Shiny and Sparkle in the boss’s room and shiny just screaming.
Time slowly walked out levitating her cube behind her and quickly walking out to behind the bar and into the front of the building where things were dieing down.

“That explains Shiny and Sparkle…” She looked around the corner not seeing anypony looking her way and she casually walked or as causally one can when wearing a tight fitting maid’s outfit and magically levitating a magic cube behind her. Some of the patrons were hooting and trying to call her over when she walked by them and she was biting her bottom lip whenever she felt hooves or even magic getting underneath her skirt. And one of them even had the balls to actually try and stop her walking and try and kiss her.

“Come here sweetums I haven’t had you yet, want to take out an experienced stallion for a ride tonight hm?” He leaned in with his eyes closed like he was expecting Time to just lean into him and take him to the back. But all she did was step away and watch him lean a little too far and because he was inebriated he ended up falling fast first into the floor where his friends just laughed at him and Time kept on walking straight out of the bar into the cloudy day beyond.
