It was another perfect day in Ponyville, the sun was shining and a gentle cooling breeze was blowing. Today, however, was also a day of woe for a certain purple unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, who decided to start becoming self-sufficient. Twilight decided to start a business of her own and was in the process of researching the possibilities.

"Come on Spike!" she said with a frustrated grunt.

"What's the big deal, Twilight," the purple baby dragon mused, "I mean why do you want to do this? The Princess pays for all of our expenses anyway."

"That's just it Spike. What are we going to do when she stops?" Twilight responded almost immediately, "All of my friend have jobs and are more than capable of sustaining themselves."

What she said was true. All of her friends had some sort of job; Rarity had her own boutique and sold dresses for a living, Applejack had the farm, Pinkie worked for the Cakes, Dash worked in the weather team for Cloudsdale, and Fluttershy took care of sick animals. They all had way of supporting themselves; they earned their Bits, while she got everything paid for by the Princess. She wanted to be like them, to be able to earn her own Bits and be her own pony. So she decided to open a business and be an entrepreneur. There was one problem with her plan; however, she needed money to start and a lot of it. Twilight couldn't ask the Princess since she felt like it would defeat the purpose, as well as the fact that she wanted to surprise her mentor. She could not ask her friends either, since that would be way too much to ask for. Twilight felt stumped and try as she may she couldn't think of any other way. She was lost in thought for a couple of minutes until she heard her #1 assistant call her.

"Twilight, Equestria to Twilight, Come in Twilight." Spike teased.

"What is it Spike?" Twilight asked obviously annoyed.

"Well I may have just found the answer to your problem." Spike replied holding a phonebook with a number circled.

Twilight read the advertisement a little confused.

"A lending company?" Twilight muttered

Twilight knew what a lending company was, because she saw a couple of them in Canterlot; however, she had never heard of such a thing here in Ponyville, in fact for the time she has lived here she has not even seen it. Twilight knew how they worked and what they had to offer and decided since there was nothing left to try, she would check it out. She ran out of the library with very much excitement, because she might actually accomplish her goal. Her excitement died as soon as she arrived at the building. In fact, it seemed very intimidating, it was smaller than the library but it appeared to have a dense and strong atmosphere. The building was a charcoal color that almost looked menacing, its yard seemed to be very plain, but what seemed to frighten Twilight was that half the building expanded into the Everfree Forest. Twilight looked at the building like it was going to eat her alive if she got closer; however, she started to walk towards the entrance, in a way that seemed to be against her better nature. She walked slowly and carefully walked toward the almost unwelcoming doors. Once Twilight arrived at the door she pushed it open slowly and carefully with her hoof. The inside felt even more frightening, there was dead silence, it was dark, and Twilight had to wait for her vision to adjust. Nopony was at the front.

"Hello, anypony here?" Twilight called into the darkness.

There was no answer, which unnerved Twilight further.

"Maybe it's closed." Twilight thought, "This place is so quiet."

"Hello, How may I help you?" a menacing voice called Twilight out of her thoughts.

She looked up and saw a set glowing red eyes. They startled her tremendously, but she recovered enough to respond.

"Umm…Hello. I read that this is a lending company and wanted to enquire about obtaining a loan." Twilight stared at the serpentine eyes and smiled a little nervously.

"Welcome to Bits'n'Pieces. How much are you looking to borrow?" the eyes stated followed with a smile full of razor sharp fangs, "I am Bits'n'Pieces."

A pony walked into Twilight's view and sat behind a desk that was neatly set up. The pony had a short, scruffy black mane and a longer, equally scruffy tail. The pony itself was a dark blue color which made it hard to make out in the lighting. The crimson reptilian eyes stared at her like they were bloodthirsty. Twilight could tell it was a unicorn but it also seemed to have a pair of wings, not natural like Dash's or the Princess', but mechanical and cold. This unicorn was wearing a suit, not unlike the custom made ones that rich ponies ordered in Canterlot. It was a plain black coat and a white button up shirt. This unicorn was taller than Twilight and seemed to have a heavy aura hanging from his surroundings. Twilight heard a little voice in the back of her head telling her that maybe it wasn't such a good idea, but once again she ignored it and pressed on.

"Y-yes, sorry, just admiring your office," Twilight stuttered mentally kicking herself, she had never been a good liar. The unicorn sitting in front of her seem unamused and stared at her with a sharp gaze.

"Hello, I'm Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you." Twilight introduce herself only to earn another sharp gaze; however, she continued, "Well you see I wanted to start my own business, but I will need a loan to start off." Twilight stated with a nervous tone clearly in her voice.

"Well, Ms. Sparkle, I would like to see your business plan, your projected revenue, and most importantly how much do you need," the unicorn almost said in a calm menacing voice.

Twilight complied handing him the paperwork. She started to fidget. As the dark unicorn seem to scan through her reports with a scowl across his face. He reached the last page and a sinister smile crawled on to his face, much to Twilight's dismay. After a silence that seemed to last ages, the voice in Twilight's head came back telling her to turn back.

"How much do you need Ms. Sparkle?" the dark voice called her out of her thoughts.

"About twenty thousand bits." Twilight answer a bit too quickly.

The dark pony's smile seemed to grow wider as he asked, "How long do you think it would take you to pay me back?"

"Around six months at most, sir," she stated. At this point Twilight felt like a scared filly.

"Okay here is what I will offer you. Form WDG-637 it is up to you to read it but I will give you the basic information on it," the tall unicorn noted, "This form is for a loan of twenty five thousand bits, with a two percent interest over six months with the payment of the loan due at the end of the six months…"

Twilight stopped listening after that, twenty five thousand was more than enough and a two percent interest was a dream. She mocked the voice in her head and decided she was right about this being a good idea.

She was called out of her thoughts by the dark voice again, "You may take the contract home to read it over if you would like or if you want you can read it here."

Twilight read the contract, well at least she tried but she was too excited about this actually working out. So she skimmed the contract is more like it. It was about sixty pages thick crammed full of legal mumbo and Twilight just couldn't focus.

"Okay I'll do it!" she exclaimed.

"Are you sure Ms. Sparkle?" the dark unicorn asked.

"Yeah I read it and I'll do it," Twilight lied and surprised herself with how good that lie was.

She signed the contract with a wide joyful smile. The dark unicorn shook her hand and chill went down her spine. He signed the check and with his dark smile and handed it over. As Twilight left she heard the unicorn say:

"Remember Ms. Sparkle, one way or another I always collect what I am owed."

Twilight closed the door behind her with very much excitement, she couldn't wait to tell her friends.
