{Stay With Skater} - 1

I sigh. "Fine. I'll stay."

(?) Skater will remember you stayed with him.

"Yes! Thank you! You have no idea how much that means to me!"

"I still can't believe I'm doing this..."

"I know this isn't really the thing you want to do, but I do appreciate it that your doing it for me. If it helps, I'll go ask around and see if anypony is willing to donate a bit or two."

"Yeah, that would help. I'll see if I can find a bit laying around somewhere around here."

Skater gives a nod and trots away to a nearby group of ponies, leaving me to myself.

"Okay, where to look..."

(o) Look at Trash Can
(o) Search Trash Can
(o) Look at Ramps
(o) Look at Skater
(o) Look at Lockers
(o) Search Lockers
(o) Look at Bench
(o) Search Bench
(o) Look at Doors
(o) Open Doors

I move in front of a trash can that looks full. Gross.

"...You know, as much as I don't want there to be anything... please be something."

(o) Look at Trash Can
(o) Search Trash Can
(o) Look at Ramps
(o) Look at Skater
(o) Look at Lockers
(o) Search Lockers
(o) Look at Bench
(o) Search Bench
(o) Look at Doors

I peak in the trash can while using a hoof to open the flap and look around.

"Nothing, I'm kinda glad."

(o) Look at Ramps
(o) Look at Skater
(o) Look at Lockers
(o) Search Lockers
(o) Look at Bench
(o) Search Bench
(o) Look at Doors
(o) Open Doors

"Hmm. Those are some pretty nice ramps. Looks to be quite a few feet tall. I bet Skater is dying to get on them. Or getting me on them."

(o) Look at Ramps
(o) Look at Skater
(o) Look at Lockers
(o) Search Lockers
(o) Look at Bench
(o) Search Bench
(o) Look at Doors
(o) Open Doors

I cast a look over in Skater's direction, or should I start calling him Lightning? I'll have to ask him later. He's talking to those ponies I saw him leave for, no surprise there. They are all talking to him with smiles, and they look nice enough, Maybe they could spare a bit.

(o) Look at Ramps
(o) Look at Skater

"Those are the personal lockers that ponies put there stuff in while they skate... or do whatever."

(o) Look at Ramps
(o) Look at Skater
(o) Look at Lockers
(o) Search Lockers
(o) Look at Bench
(o) Search Bench
(o) Look at Doors
(o) Open Doors

"Okay, one, I'm pretty sure they keep them locked. Two, they do so for good reason. I'm not about to go looking though a ponies things. I'm pretty sure that's illegal"

(o) Look at Ramps
(o) Look at Skater
(o) Look at Lockers
(o) Search Lockers
(o) Look at Bench

"It's just a wooden bench where ponies can sit. Looks like it can sit up to four if ponies can squeeze in."

(o) Look at Ramps
(o) Look at Skater
(o) Look at Lockers
(o) Search Lockers
(o) Look at Bench

(o) Look at Doors
(o) Open Doors

I begin circling the bench to see if there might anything on it. And out of the corner of my eye, I catch a glimpse of something shining when the sunlight hits it after my shadow passes over in between the cracks of the boards.

(o) Examine Bench
(o) Back out

Using my wing to reach down in between the cracks, I pull out a single golden coin. A bit.

"All right! I expected that to take longer."

"You find anything?"

I turn around to see Skater approaching me, a sly grin on his face.

"Yeah. Somehow." I hold up my bit I had just found to prove it.

"Nice you'll be happy to hear that I also had some luck." He holds up a similar looking coin. "Those ponies were pretty nice. They gave me this."

"Okay then, that makes ten bits. I'll go get your board. You stay here and.... do something."

"Very descriptive..."

"By quiet and wait for me here."

"Okay then."

Skater trots off to the building and disappears inside. Leaving me out here.

I look up to the sky. It was a rather hot day today, but the breeze that roils though here every once and a while keeps it cool enough, otherwise the ramps here, being made out of the stuff they are, would probably be too hot to be on. At least without anything out your hooves.

At the sound of a door opening, I turn my head and see Skater coming my way with a skateboard.

"Okay. Show time."

Author's Note:

Sorry for the short chapter and not updating in 3 months. I got hit with writers block for this story, but I'm back into it now.

Hopefully.
