//------------------------------// // Raritiy's Rent is Late So her Landlord Comes Over and Burns Things // Story: Random, Creepy, and Just Plain Crazy Tales from the Mind of a Guy Named Brian // by Dragonlover553 //------------------------------// "Oh, my." said Rarity at the sight in her front door. It was a massive dragon. Shining silver scales, covered in scars, two wings folded upon it's back, four legs, two glowing, golden eyes, and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth. "Um, excuse me, sir dragon." "My name is Hupon Broken-Fang." replied the dragon in a low, clearly masculine voice. That's when Rarity noticed the broken fang sticking out of his mouth. "Oh, well, Sir Hupon, I'm afraid I'm going to need to ask you too leave." "And why would that be?" "Well sir, my landlord is coming over and-" "I am your landlord." "What." "Well, what were you expecting? A white-coated, pampered, unicorn 'noble', skilled in what passes for magic among your kind?" "Well-" Rarity stopped. In truth, that was a perfect image of what she was expecting. "I even send the messages by dragonfire." And that's exactly why she though that. "How do you think a unicorn would be able to send a letter that way? Were you expecting your landlord to have a dragon-slave?" With that the dragon snorted. "Foolish slavers, I kill anypony I find in "ownership" of one. It is my right. I mean I even have a contract with your Queen saying I can." "Um... Queen? Equestria doesn't have a queen." Rarity said, thinking of Twilight. "Oh, it does, who do you think mothered the princesses? She may be a thousand years missing, but her rule is still acknowledged." "Oh,how so?." "Neither of her daughters have taken the title." "Oh. Good point." "Anyway, I didn't come for ideal chatter. I came for the rent. That's 500 bit." "Um, well, truth be told, I don't have the bits." "Well then, why not?" "Well, I'm in a bit of financial trouble right now. I have a little bit of money, but not that much." "Well, how long until you do have the money?" "About a month." "Well, I'll give you two months. But at the end of that span, you owe me 1300 bit. Sound fair?" "I suppose. Are you sure I can't get anymore time?" "Yes." "Oh well, I suppose it could be worse. You could have burned my house down instantly." "Oh please, I am a dragon, not a demon. I would never burn down your home-without good reason. But remember, two months. Then-" The dragon was interrupted by something cyan hitting his chest. His scales absorbed the impact and any potential damage, but it still hit him. "HEY MISTER DRAGON!! GET OUTTA OUR TOWN!!!" Shouted the cyan "something". "And why would I do that?" Asked Hupon. "I own almost all of it." "Say what?!" Said the cyan thing. "Honestly Rainbow, attacking dragons off the street is most unladylike." Said Rarity. "But he was threatening you!!" Shouted Rainbow in response. "No, I was working out a solution on the matter of her late rent for her landlord." "And what business is that of your 's?" Demanded Rainbow. "Because I am her landlord." "Oh." Said the mare timidly. "And the landlord of almost everyone is Ponyville." "Oh." Repeated Rainbow. "Which means you not only attacked me, you attacked me-on my own property. By extension, I have the legal right to ban you from this town." "Oh." Said Rainbow again. "So next time, don't be so impulsive, or you may insult someone who will punish you severely. After all, I own every inch of this town outside Sweet Apple Acres. And who know? Maybe next time, the same thing will happen to you that happened to that tree," he said, pointing to a nearby tree. "What happened to that tree?" Then a goat of flames shot from the dragon's mouth, incinerating the tree. "That."
