Jail

By: Spartan-Guy 88


~~~~~<>~~~~~


Ponyville to this day has the lowest crime rate in all of Equestria; but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any trouble-makers within the town. That was what the Ponyville Detention Center was for. It wasn’t anywhere near as bad as a prison, but it would do just fine to contain said trouble-makers.

“Besides, I don’t think how I could handle being locked away in a prison. They make the prisoners wear orange. Orange! It would clash with the color of my mane! Absolutely horrendous.” Rarity thought to herself.

She sat with two other mares in the mare’s cell in the detention center. All of them were in a semi-circle, sitting in an awkward silence. Finally, one of them broke the ice.

“Well, if anypony is going to get this ball rolling it’s me.” Lyra Heartstrings spoke, “Let’s pass around how we all wound up in here for the night.”

The other two ponies groaned.

Lyra dismissed their refusal; “Oh come on ladies! How else are we going to pass the time while we’re in here?”

“Sleep?” Berry Punch rhetorically asked.

“No way.” Lyra responded, “Too boring. I’ll tell you how I got in here. I went into the museum.”

Rarity questioned the teal Unicorn; “Not to be blunt my dear, but how does going into a museum land you in here with us?”

Lyra turned towards her and responded, “Because I’m banned from the museum because they won’t let me speak the truth!”

“What truth?” Rarity asked once more.

Lyra then spoke with a loud voice, “That humans exist! I’m telling you they’re out there somewhere; and I won’t stop the pursuit of the answer until I find one and bring it to the museum so I can rub it in the museum curator’s face!”

Berry Punch leaned towards Rarity and whispered to her; “How does Bon Bon put up with her?”

Lyra then calmed down enough to ask the magenta Earth Pony; “How’s about you Berry? How’d you get in here?”

Berry Punch for her part put on a proud smirk and replied; “Two words: Bar fight.”

“Ooh! Nice…” Lyra commented, ignoring Rarity rolling her eyes.

“Yup.” Berry Punch began to explain, “Get enough hard apple cider in your body, get into an argument with that one certain pony, the next thing you know I’m throwing punches left and right with about five other ponies. I got in a few great shots before the cops got me and threw me in here.”

Rarity then asked, “Where are the other ponies you fought?”

“All in the stallion cell.” Berry responded.

“Never mind.” Rarity spoke in a deadpan tone.

Lyra turned towards her once more; “All right, your turn.”

“I’d rather not talk about it.” Rarity spoke.

“Aw come on!” Lyra complained, “Me and Berry weren’t shy about how we got in here!”

Rarity wasn’t convinced, “That’s because I’d rather hold onto whatever dignity I have left; but if you must know I got in here due to an unfortunate lapse of judgment and common sense.”

FOUR HOURS EARLIER

“YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!” Rarity screamed as she used her mouth to pull on the mane of a certain cherry selling stallion at the Ponyville Market Square. “JUST BECAUSE SOME PONIES ARE INTO MARES DOES NOT MAKE THEM INFERIOR TO OTHERS! NOW APOLOGIZE TO ME AND MY STARSHINE!”

“I ain’t gonna sell out my beliefs lady!” The cherry salespony yelled back, “Just wait til- OW! STOP PULLING ON MY MANE!”

Twilight Sparkle was doing her best to pull Rarity off of him, “Rarity stop it! Get a hold of yourself!”

Rarity ignored her as she continued her assault; “OH I’LL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN!”

PRESENT TIME

Rarity gave a depressed sigh as the memories ran through her mind.

“Twilight is not going to be very happy with me the next time I see her.”
