Finding a temporary home

[Becka *Pone*]

Magnum walked the three fillys over to the Castle, showing them some of the sites in town as he did. The Castle was not as large as Dream Castle, but it was still a fair sight in itself. They walked inside and he immediately payed for their stay for the first night. "I will gladly pay for more, but I will simply go day by day in case you find another place to stay."

Kail smiled her thanks and followed him to their room, a very lavish one towards the back of the Castle on the third floor. Just as they were getting there, a white pony with symbols on two sides walked out of her room, and stopped, starring at Magnum in distasteful surprise.

"Three girls eh Mags? Dont overdo yourself there - it would be a pity to wear such a handsome pocketbook out." The white pony sneared at him and Magnum rolled his eyes.

"For your information, these girls are new to town, and I am simply getting them a place to stay until they can find their own." He looked SunnyD up and down and raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you have two symbols?!?"

She smiled at him, "why, all that time and you never even noticed?" He was starring blankly at her so she continued, "nevermind, I got it done last night at a party ok. And dont touch! Its still sore." She smacked his hoof away from her hip.

Kail wasn't sure what was going on between the two, but she did see the pained look on the white pony's face. "If you like, I can help with that." She raised a hoof up just a couple inches from the tatoo and closed her eyes for a moment; when she reopened them the tatoo was no longer red and swollen, and didn't hurt any longer.

SunnyD opened her eyes wide and smiled, "well my dear, that was amazing! How would you like to work for SunnyD? I could always use a quick tuneup every now and then."

"What's wrong D, cant take the pain?" Mags said, but she punched him in the stomach.

"Can you?"

Mags smiled silently at her in an awful way, and Kail brightened completely. "Oh, a job? I would love a job! Then we can get a place of our own to live!" She jumped up once, showing her true age for the first time since they had arrived. "Thank you so much Ms. Sunny!"

Sunny smirked, "please, its SunnyD, no Ms. And you come find me once you get settled in - Im going into town for a bit."

Kail nodded and watched the other go as Magnum opened the door to the girl's room and led them in, holding his stomach where he had been punched.

Starlet looked back at Kail with a worried look. "This--is too much...I just can't--"

Magnum smiled at the worried girl, "dont worry, its not a problem at all - I have the cash to burn, and I ask nothing in return." At least not from the two of you he thought to himself and smiled.


"Yeah, its just for a couple nights - if I get this job like that pony just promised we should have our own place in no time!" Kail was so excited about the new job that she just couldn't hold it in and jumped onto the bed like a filly. "This is going to be so much fun living here!"
