Hello readers, long time huh. Anyway I need to say something before you start reading the chapter. You're going to have to meet me halfway with this one, I couldn't for the life of me figure out Photo's accent, so when you're reading really imagine her voice or else it won't sound right at all. It shouldn't be that hard but still, fair warning and all.
Pony Confessions
Photo Finish
This is Dominick, Dominick works at a five star restaurant called, The Pony Palace. There, some of Equestria's most popular celebrities pop in to have a drink. Sometimes they share stories and even secrets, because as we all know, what the bartender hears is confidential, isn't it.
So I'm sitting there tending bar, when in walks somepony who's stayed out of the spotlight for a very long time, Photo Finish. Now Photo Finish used to be the talk of the Equestria, but as we know, the Fluttershy incident happened. It wasn't the same after that, most thought it would just blow over. That didn't happen, what did happen though was that no one respected her anymore.
So she walks up to the bar and sits down and says, "Hello bartender, give me da magic drew."
"Right away." I says. So I went to the back and fixed her up some of the bubbling brew. Crazy stuff to, half a cup and you were, for the lack of a better word, bucked.
Anyway I set the cup down and asked her, "So Photo Finish, hows life after the whole... Fluttershy thing?"
She looks at me and says, "Agh horrible, I was the leader in the fashion industry and now... I'm nothing more than a useless bottom feeder, no offense."
"None taken." I said.
She continued, "Oh how I wish it could go back to the old days. Where ponies would listen to everything I say. When I could find... Da Magics... anywhere. But now...I have nothing.
"What do you mean you have nothing? You're Photo Finish, you should still have like a million bits." I tell her.
Then she took a drink of her brew and said, "They took everything, my bits, my stuff, my home. Now I'm homeless and no one even thinks of me anymore. All because of one mistake! If it wasn't for that Fluttershy, I would still be on top! But now I have nothing... and no one respects me anymore, just before coming here somepony spat at me just because I asked for some food."
Well that's a little much ain't it? Just because of one little mistake all of that happens, I would hate to be famous if it meant consequences like that. "Well I'm sorry to hear that Miss. Finish."
"No, it's not your fault dear, it was all mine. I should have known that Fluttershy didn't have... Da Magics."
I look at her and say, "Sorry to have to bring this up Miss. Finish, but If all that's true... then how are you going to pay for your drink?"
Then she downs the rest of the glass and looked at me. ".....................................................I go!" She ran as fast to the exit as she could. Lucky the security ponies were standing guard and tackled her. She was kicking and screaming the whole time, they ended up having to drag her out of the Palace and had to call the police.
I was curious so I went out to take a look, after about ten or so minutes the police ponies came and got her. She... she didn't go down without a fight, Photo ended up kicking one of them in the family jewels, so to speak, and tumbled away. That police pony didn't really like getting kicked there and ended up chasing after her and tasered her with magic, she was flopping around for a good while. It was a sad sight to see a once famous pony in such a state, had everything taken away, couldn't do anything else, drunk, and being tased by a pissed off cop. They threw her in the back of the carriage and were on their way.
You see a lot of strange things as a... bartender, you see a lot of strange things at the Pony Palace. So, I see a lot of strange things as a bartender at the Pony Palace, and that ain't no lie, swear to it.
Authors Notes
I'm really, really, REALLY sorry for such a short chapter after such a long time, I had so many ideas for this one but after the Diablo 3 open beta I forgot almost EVERYTHING I PLANNED. I really feel like a ass right now, but to make it up to you guys somewhat I'll let you in on a little secret, I'm planning on making a bonus chapter with a OC from someone else's story. I won't spoil too much but it should make for a very good chapter. Now it's not set in stone but I am planning on it.
And don't forget to vote for who will be next to walk into the bar.
REALLY SORRY
