Job?  



One cold, frosty autumn morning, Rainbow Dash woke up tired and groggy.  She slowly wriggled herself out of her memory foam bed, and chuckled at her impression on the squishy foam.  She trotted at a turtle's speed down the long hallway.  Once she reached the kitchen, she opened the refridgerator and grabbed the Florida orange juice and a bagel.  She popped the bagel into the toaster and poured herself a glass of orange juice in her favorite Daring-Do plastic cup that she got at the book store in the souveniers section.  While Rainbow Dash waited for her bagel to pop up, she walked to the front door and opened it to get the morning newspaper.  Opening the box she saw the mail.  There was a stack of junk mail just waiting to be thrown away.  She took it inside and set it down on the counter.  Then Rainbow Dash took her bagel and spread the cream cheese over it and then grabbed the orange juice and began reading through the mail while eating her bagel.  At the bottom of the pile, was a red card.



It said:  NOTICE:  Rent MUST be paid before November 15th!  You have not yet paid your rent for the month.  If not paid by November 15th, home eviction will take place.  She took a moment or two to think about the card.  She thought of ways to make money.  



"I only have three weeks.  Maybe I could...  Ummmmmm, uuuhhhhh...  That's it!  I'll start a hot cocoa stand!  Thought Dash. 

The next day, Rainbow Dash had just finished putting up the hot cocoa stand sign up.  She had it in the garage, then went to town hall to put up an ad for her stand.  She was super excited about the hot cocoa stand!  On her way home, she called her best friend, Roseluck to tell her about the stand.  Once she was at home, she took the stand and flew to the park because she wanted to set it up there because it was near the winter park carnival in the old farmer's barn- obviously cleaned up for public uses.  She hoped that people would buy some hot cocoa, but not a lot- like three people in total.  A few minutes after the carnival was over, a stallion walked up to the stand and took a look at it.  He took a deep breath and sighed.



"I hate to be the one to always do this."  Murmured the stallion.  "Excuse me ma'am, but do you have a permit for this stand of yours?"  Stated the stallion.


"Permit? I didn't know that I had to have a permit. Can you leave now?"  Asked confused Dash.


"I'm sorry, but I need you to find those people you sold the hot cocoa to and give them their money back.  Thank you, and I'm going to need to have that stand.  Have a good evening, and F.Y.I, I am a Cop."  Said the cop.


"Ok, but  it might take a few days, sorry!"  Shouted Dash as the stallion cop galloped away.



It took her a few days, but she got all the money back to everyone.  Right after that, Dash called Roseluck because she needed help to get money.  She only had two weeks left.  Roseluck told her she needed to get a job.  At first, Dash refused, but then she remembered that she needed money for rent.  They tried many job applications, but they all rejected her.  They tried the book store, the apple orchard, a restaurant, a coffee shop and even an assistance at town hall.  The only job left was at the music store.  This was her last chance to keep her house and get the money.
