A week after she moves in, a guilty Twilight tells Starlight there are no funds in the bank so she'll have to pay rent... or she's out. What does the newly-reformed unicorn do? Start her own delivery service across time and space itself. As you do.

Why did you even have to ask? And what could possibly go wrong?

I think we all know the answer to that...

Congratulations to ZanyZapper who was the obvious winner when I set up a contest on this blog to see who could come up the best idea for a one shot.

Only problem is, now it's a two-shot. Or a three-shot. Or a...

Look, let's just play it by ear, shall we?

Why would Twilight just run out of funds? Money has never seemed to be a problem for Twilight before?

I explained it in the fic, if you read it. But here's the most relevant section...

“Huh. A very generous thing for you to do, I suppose. And I didn’t know Rarity had expanded her boutique into hairdressing as well. Never misses a trick in fashion, does she…” Twilight scratched just under her horn. Ever since it had noticeably increased in size, it was more prone to occasional itchiness. “But, as laudable as your aims were, it doesn’t solve our current predicament. Which is: in order for you to remain living here, I’m going to require some kind of collateral to keep you in. I’m sorry, but the state of the economy at the moment and the cost of cleaning and polishing this crystal castle from top to bottom once a month have really stretched my meagre purse to breaking point. I think there's a cheap hotel just around the corner... or I could always lend you a tent...”

Plus, this was the whole premise of the prompt that I took on to create this story, so I couldn't really work round it, could I? Anyway, hope you enjoy it! :twistnerd:

Because bull shit reasons in universe is the other name for this.

Well, I like a challenge... so... :rainbowdetermined2:

I'm not complaining about the story honestly. Just the bull shit in-universe reasoning. This should be fun though.

OKay, I understand. Hope you like it, seems to be doing well so far. :moustache:

Starlight Express, when you literally needed something delivered yesterday.

'You'd be born yesterday if you didn't choose us.' :ajbemused:

This is gonna be good

Lets see where this goes!

I’m sure this will end in two situations:
A. Starlight ends up destroying space-time by so many paradoxes that it will end up creating
B. It will end out of its timeline, forcing it to expand into the multiverse in order to pay the rent of the new "home" in which it ended up being too reckless
Of these possible results, only the second ends with Starlight being CEO of the largest multiverse delivery company, and strangely not finding its original universe
