A dimly lighted room made of stone, water dripping from the ceiling, and chains hung from the walls. A path to three ponies was lit by some torches and the glow of the magic aura from the guards by their cells. Anthony was one of those ponies in the cell. The grim walls seem to mock him as he struggled with his chains that bound him to another pony.
“Not a day after I get here, and I’m in jail.” moaned Anthony as he shook the chains in an fruitless endeavor, “And I don’t even know why I’m here.”
The pony chained to him turned their head towards him, “Well, either you insulted the princess or she thinks you’re cute.”
“Why are you here then?” asked Anthony as he saw the pony was a mare with a crimson mane and a coat as grey as the cell walls.
“I flew into her flank and got sent down here.” she said as she got comfortable, “took three hours to get me out of there. It was a nightmare.”
“Oh.” replied Anthony as he turned his attention to the other being in the room, “ Why is that pony here?”
“You ask too many questions, it’s as if you’re new here.” said the mare, then she realised he was new from the look on Anthony’s face, she quickly raised a wing to cover his muzzle.
The chains rattled as the other being arose from his slumber and turned his attention to the two other ponies. He was different than them, and Anthony could see that. Most ponies didn’t stand on two legs, or wear a collar made of gems. The other pony was a diamond dog.
“You want to know why I’m here?” said the dog in a voice that seemed to be smooth as silk, “I insulted the princess and tossed gems at her. I got arrested and sent here.”
“Wow….That seems worse than why I think I’m here for.” said Anthony as he shifted his stance.
“Well, tell us, we told you.” said the mare as she stretched on the floor like a cat.
“Okay, here’s what I can remember.”said Anthony as he began his story.

Anthony was trotting around the castle. Molly was off doing something, he couldn’t care less about what she was doing or who she was doing. He was amazed at the castle and was excited on taking a tour of his new home. If anything was good about being with Molly, it was probably her home. He saw a door with a sign overhead that read: Kitchen.
“I am getting a bit hungry.” said Anthony as he opened the door. He gazed as he saw only three chiefs in the kitchen playing cards.
Anthony was bewildered at this sight, shouldn’t they be preparing stuff for dinner? “What are you three doing?” asked Anthony as he galloped to the table the chiefs were playing at.
“Playing a card game, what does it look like?” said one of the chiefs. This chief was shorter than the others and had to have a cookbook to sit at the same level as the other chiefs. He was blue, with a flour coloured mane, and his cutie mark was a rolling pin.
“If you want a snack, check the fridge.” said one of the taller chiefs. He was a unicorn. His coat was red with a light green mane and some stubble on his chin. His cutie mark was of a measuring cup and a stick of butter.
“Umm, aren’t you three to be working on supper?” asked Anthony as he looked around the kitchen.
The other chief got up and walked over to a oven. She was golden and had a mane of chestnut. Her cutie mark was of chief's hat. Anthony was confused as she beckoned him to the oven. When he got there, he saw why he was there.
“We’re done with it, we’re just waiting for it to get done. If you excuse me, I’m gonna get a raise and these slackers will have to wash dishes for the next month.” beamed the chief as she went back to their card game.
Anthony walked out of the kitchen and back into the hallway. As he trotted down the hallway, he heard a quiet giggle. He turned and saw no pony behind him; he returned his attention to infront of him and was met with a light pink tail tickling his muzzle.
“Molly, move.” said Anthony as he tried moving her by her flank.(
"Why? I'm perfectly comfortable standing here." She replied wiggling her flank a bit.
Anthony gave a huff of frustration, “Molly, move or I’ll find away to send your fat flank to the moon!”
She turned her head around to look at him, "Now that's a bit rude."
She smiled and said in an alluring voice, "I think somepony needs to be taught a lesson."
~~~~
“So that’s why you’re here?”asked the diamond dog as he leaned back.
“No, it was after this.” said Anthony as he continued his story.
~~~~
“What do you mean a lesson?” shuttered Anthony as he started to back away from Molestia.
"Oh it has been such a long time since I got to use my whip." She said walking towards him.
Antony’s mind started to race, thinking of a distraction on the spot was harder than it seemed with her peering at him.” umm...Look, cake.” said Anthony as he pointed to the kitchen.
Molestia's head turned around and her tongue stuck out, "REALLY?!"
Anthony bolted as she turned her attention away from him. He ran to a room labeled guard’s locker room.
As he tried to regain his breath, he heard a knock at the door. He glanced around the room and saw a guard’s uniform. “Maybe she’ll leave me be if I was a guard.” He grabbed the uniform and hid in a locker. He was used to changing in a locker when he was bullied in middle school.But when he got out of there, he realized something was wrong with his uniform: It was for a mare. As he tried to take the mare uniform off, some guards came in and saw ‘her’.
“And I was like, “No citizens allowed in with her magicities permission, the idiot said...Who's the new one?” said one of the guards as they saw Anthony in the uniform.
“She seems like she just came from the academy.” said Another guard, coat darker than the first’s. As they tried to place her, a white unicorn with purple armour came in.
“What is the hold up?” he said as stood in-front of the rest of the guards.
“Shining armour?!” squeaked Anthony as he saw the unicorn stallion.
“Well, she seems to know who’s in charge. So you’re new? welcome to the Canterlot post.” said Shining as he trotted beside Anthony, “Seem to be a little under weight for the job. But we’ll see how macho you are.”
“She just came here, don’t send her to work already.” said one of the guards as they shuffled around, moving away from the door.
“If she can’t handle, HER, than why should she be here?” said Shining as he wrapped his hoof around Anthony.
“Oh no.” sighed Anthony as he guessed who HER was.
“She should be in the garden or with that new pony...Anthony, I think the name was.” said Shining as he lead his guest to the garden, not knowing his guest was too familiar with HER.
“Bigus-Ploticus. The most dangerous thing in Equestria. If you can tame her, than you are okay for the job here. Good luck, she likes mare and stallions.” said Shining as he pushed Anthony out of the bushes.
Anthony sighed as he got up and dusted himself off, “Lets hope she treats a guard better than me.” He trotted up and tapped her on her wing, “Princess?”
Molly turned around, when she saw it was a guard she gave an alluring smile," well hello there, are you a new recruit?"
“Yes Mam’. Captain Shining Armour sent me to you.” said Anthony as he tried to act like a guard.
"Well, I would advise you go talk to the other guards." She leaned down to him and grinned, "there is something you must do to be accepted into the guards."
“What is that?” asked Anthony, abit worried if being a guard was a good idea.
Her grin grew even wider, "you have to touch my flank."
Anthony’s gave a sigh of relief, “Is that all?”He placed his hoof on her cutie mark, “Why is this so hard?”
Molestia stood up straight, "good...now lick my ass."
“What?!” said Anthony as he backed away, “I am not gonna put my mouth anywhere near that.”
"Well then I'm afraid you're going to have to go job hunting again, because that's the only way to get this one." She replied in a matter of fact tone.
Anthony gave a gulp, “Fine.” He gave her cutie mark a quick lick, and jumped back in pain, “HOT! HOT! HOT!”
Molestia grinned, "that's my cutie mark. Not my ass.".
“Id wather go threw hell then lack your flank.” said Anthony as his tongue with his hooves.
Molestia laughed, "of course you would Anthony, but you'll have to sooner or later."
Anthony stopped and started at Molly, “You knew it wath me?”
"Do you take me for a fool? You're not the first pony I've met that's disguised themself to hide from me." She replied.
“Am I in towuble?” said Anthony as he laid down in front of Molestia.
Molly gave a devilish grin, “I think you’ll learn in my dungeon.”

“Next thing I know, I’m in here.” said Anthony as he looked at his cell mates.
They gave glances of pure anguish, “You don’t know why you’re here? You must be really stupid or really thick headed.” said the diamond dog as he stood over Anthony.
“Give the kid a break, he just got here.” said the mare as she wrapped her wings around Anthony.
“How cute, maybe Molestia will tag-team you two.” joked the dog as he sat down.
“How cute, and maybe I will.”echoed a voice from down the hall.
The three cell mates sat in fear as they saw the warden, Molly.
Molestia sauntered up to the cell the three prisoners were in. "I hope you have all had time to think about what you've done." She said.
“Ant, I may help you, but only once.” said the dog as he leaned by Anthony.
“I’m not gay.” said Anthony as he leaned away from the dog.
“Shut up.” said the Dog as he slammed his paw upside Anthony’s head and into the bars.
Anthony’s vision went fuzzy as he saw Molly hold a whip up to the dog, then it went black.

Anthony arose from a bed as he gazed at the room. it was night and the moon danced across the room. He got out of his bed and started to walk. once he got to the door, he felt different. He walked over to a mirror and gasped: He was now a mare.
