It's been a year since the Equestrian Ranch association began… and 3 since my grandfather died… I lived in Texas. He owned a farm which I improved on a little after it came to me when he died. I lived about a good 20 miles from the nearest town and I made more money then what I needed. I mostly work all day so I hardly use electricity and water comes from an underground spring which there is a lot of water for some reason.

I actually also have water hooked up to both filtered water and the spring water just in case the spring water runs out sooner or later. He left me everything when he died… his fortune, which is surprisingly a lot of money, his land, his farm plus animals, and finally his legacy, being me… the name is Lance Pendragon.

The name I despise so much so I try my best to keep it a secret… I literately changed the name of the farm to instead be the Hidden Lance Ranch instead of Pendragon Products! I am the youngest of the family of three siblings with my older sister living in New York City as a business owner as she makes millions every year which she likes to keep stored away for some odd reason… she's actually my favorite of my two older siblings but I don't really know what kind of business owner she is.

Then we have my jerk brother… being the second youngest of the family… a man who is very cocky and since our family's name became big he gets whatever he wants no matter what happens. He lives in Las Vegas as he gets a weekly pay from mother and father because he spends it all gambling and getting what he wants!

Then there's me… a pitiful excuse for a son that lives on a rundown farm that has belonged to the family for generations and it's something my father wants out of the family legacy but mother loves the hard work I'm doing to keep this place up and stuff… but even she wants it gone so they could try to get me into the family business which they have tried ever since one year ago when they began.

I was actually working on the farm at the moment as I had just finished collecting today's eggs from the chickens. That was until I heard a beep up from the front of the house as I quickly went up front just as the mailman closed up the back, got in, and then left the property. So the medicine finally arrived. That is one thing that I'm happy for.

Quickly walking over to the package there was some smaller mail on top of it. Crouching down and putting the large basket of eggs off to the side I moved the smaller mail open and pulled out my pocket knife and opened the package to reveal the filling material with 9 bottles of pain medicine for Betty.

Betty was the oldest cow I had on the farm as I had 6 cows total and she was by far the oldest. Lately I had to have a vet come and take a look at her and they prescribed pain medicine for her. She may be old but she gave lots and lots of milk which was a good thing. Closing the package I picked up the smaller mail as they appeared to be 7 of them.

Let's see here… Geico ad… letter from farming monthly… letter from an old childhood friend… got to read that one later… another ad… for penis enlargement?! Hell no! I quickly threw that one into the trash before I began to look at the final three. Let's see… letter from big sis… letter from big bro… ill look at those two when I have time… and a… red letter?

Red in my mind symbolized it was of great importance so if this was red I put the others down as I quickly opened it and took out the white letter as I began to read it as a dark blue and yellow credit card fell out. "Dear son… for unfortunate events… one million dollars… get yourself some ponies or else the farm is gone?!" I yelled out in rage!

They decided to use that fucking card against me did they?!

I looked around at the old farm as I smiled from the memories I had from being with my grandfather. He was a musician when he was younger and his guitar was lost in his young age. Not wanting another guitar he made the farm with the money he earned and has been living here since… luckily I had a lot of money stocked up so taking care of a large group of ponies would be good…

I should actually explain that right now. In the beginning I talked about the Equestrian Ranch Association or the ERA… a year and a half ago we had stumbled upon a world full of ponies… actual ponies. Different colors with different breeds of three varieties being Pegasus, unicorn, and ironically earth ponies with one very rare breed known as the Alicorn's with there only being four.

These ponies at first were very friendly until they found out about my races past. Then they turned slightly hostile as a small battle raged on where we won ridiculously fast. So that was when the ERA was created. When a pony comes over into our world a unknown variable turns them into what is commonly known as anthros. They keep their heads because of this and gain the human characteristics during that time. Every month a new large shipment comes in with new ponies as their race since the connection was made in their world turned into rabbits in heat.

They can be used for a variety of purposes but I prefer to not talk about many of them but they are hard workers when they actually like their owners. When they turn into an anthro it is a painful process as they pass through when it takes a minute to get through but feels like 10 for those turning into an anthro. When they come through and go back they don't turn into ponies again and are permanently stuck as an anthro. They have feet just like us and depending on species they have other stuff.

They have what they call a cutie mark on their ass's depicting what they are good at and it shows through whatever clothes they put on. Pegasus have wings and are able to manipulate weather so in areas that get little rain they are very useful. Earth ponies have their enhanced strength and are good for manual labor. Unicorns have small horns on their head to use what they call magic but they can use their magic through their hands as well as horn except the horn if its damaged causes the unicorn to have a chance to never use magic again.

The Alicorn's have all of these traits and as said there are only four of them but are also referred to as Princesses. Ponies have the chance to work a debt depending on what they are good at to be able to go back to their own world but this happens rarely for reasons I prefer to… not speak of… each one has a different preference in living arrangements and from what my parents want! They want me to have at least one of each basic race! Not counting the Alicorn's…

So taking the mail I wanted to keep inside and throwing the mail I didn't want away I slipped the card that fell out into my back pocket, I despised wallets greatly and it's something I can't explain, and then carried the package towards the large brown that was recently fixed up and opened the large door. "Hey girls how you doing?!" I yelled with a smile as they all looked up from where they were eating before going back to eat their hay.

The six cows were like small parts of the family to me… from youngest to oldest I had sally, Chloe, baily, Helen, Gertrude, and finally Betty. "Hey Betty…" I stated sadly as I saw her in massive pain. Putting the package down next to her open stall I grabbed her large, and empty, water bucket and brought it over to a water tap as I began to fill it with water. Three of these pills a day which need to dissolve in the water first and stirred around for full effectiveness.

Filling it to the line I usually do I grabbed one of the bottles full of large pills and pulled out three. They were literately the size of my thumb in length, width, but only have the thickness. So I had a total of 30 in each bottle so I had 9 bottles meaning I had 270 pills total but for days' worth I had enough for 90 days.

After the pills dissolved and I stirred the water I lugged it over and put it back into its original spot as I patted Betty on the back. Each of the six cows were Holstein cows and they were pretty reliable… at least until Sally gets overworked about the smallest possible things… "alright betty the water has stuff in it to lessen the pain… be sure to drink it up alright?" she gave a loud moo as I smirked and walked out of the barn and relooked at the card in my back pocket before walking over to my blue 2015 Ram 3500 Chassis…

I inherited this from my grandfather when he, as he would say, 'kicked the bucket' and made a few modifications to it since I gave milk and food to the nearest down as I was its biggest produce deliverer. In fact in two days I got to send my next large shipment. I added roofing high enough as to where I could stand up in it so the roofing was 6 feet high from the bottom of the bed. I added a ramp that slid out of the back so I could easily get into it.

I don't know cars or trucks that well so deal with what I give you all!

Then I add a barrier up between the cart and the actual truck because the produce kept on flying out during the drive. Getting in I fished my keys from the top and then started the ignition and began my drive towards the nearest town… which happened to have an ERA distribution center.

The drive took me 20 minutes at the speed I was going before I entered the town. It wasn't a small but it wasn't a big kind of town with the center in the middle next to the town hall. I knew quite a few of the people in this town as I gave a wave to those I did know. Quickly getting to the center I parked in the purchasing area before getting out to be confronted by a police guard… "Hey Ben how you doing?" I asked him with a smile.

"I've been doing alright. Your parents finally get you?" he asked with a smile. He was black and we went to school together when we were younger. Imagine my surprise that he became his dream in the town that my grandfather loved dearly when I found out.

"Yeah…" I sighed out. "They gave me money to do it and I need to or else I will lose the farm."

"They will be a great help. Unicorns actually assist the towns police department every once in a while. Want me to come in with?"

"Sure… although let's hope they don't pull the 'you're the son of the gods' crap again." He gave a laugh. He was one year older than me and I was 21. He was held back one year when he came down with a very bad cold that he should have died from.

We walked into the center and I was happy they wouldn't know me until they checked my card balance. We were soon approached by a man in a suit with a mustache that made him look like an evil villain. "Welcome to the center! Would you like some assistance today?" he asked with a fake smile.

"What do you think Ben?" I asked him as he shrugged.

"Hey it's your farm." He stated crossing his arms.

"Then we would like some assistance." He gave a bigger smile of pleasure.

"Very well! Follow me please." We followed him as I watched the anthro ponies be herded to and from areas by guards with shock sticks. Shocking them whenever they went out of line or tried anything funny. Soon we reached an elevator as we got in first and he got in in front of us. Sliding his card into a slot a ding was heard as the doors closed and we started going down. He turned around as that happened. "As I said welcome to the center and we are happy for those that wish to purchase their future workers! You said you had a farm yes?" he asked as I nodded. "Splendid! What kind of ponies are you looking for?"

"What I think I see that I want…" I stated as he narrowed his eyes before turning around for the remainder of the ride down until the door opened and we stepped out… seeing a lot of cells full of ponies of different varieties behind glass walls.

"Well we have a large variety of ponies that you can see. How about we start at the beginning?" he then said as we approached the first cell revealing many stallions as they just talked with one another. They were all in different colored briefs. "This cell shows ponies that are hard workers in all fields…" he stated as I shook my head and we moved onto one that was on the other side. This time mares that had on only panties and different kinds of bras. "Same as the other side…"

I looked around in there until I eventually spotted an orange pony just sitting down with her head in her legs as she stayed in the sitting up fetal position. "What can you tell me about her?" I asked directing his attention to the pony.

"That is one of our newest ponies that we just received yesterday. Her cutie mark resembles three apples and she came from the town of Ponyville which is in the country. Being 20 years old her younger sister and older brother was taken several months prior… both of them are actually here from what my records say. From where she lived it is evident to tell that she worked on a farm." He said after looking at his large tablet and tapping it for 5 minutes.

"Any way I can get a closer look at her?" he nodded with a smile on his face as he waved over a nearby guard and whispered for a few seconds. The guard nodded as he pulled out a poll which extended into a grasper that was 6 feet long. Walking towards a glass door he slid a card into it before opening it. All of the mares inside cowered in fear of the large man with the pole before he reached the mare.

He loomed over her as she raised his head before he quickly put the pole around her neck. She struggled as she was pulled out through the door and then forced onto her knees as I approached her and crouched down. She looked at me with fear in her eyes as the man walked behind me. "She has several things that she had brought with her that were confiscated such as a locket and a brown western hat for your mind."

She seemed strong… I could tell that she obviously worked every day wherever she lived… did he say farm? She might be useful but I'm not getting them for that. "How much?" I then asked as her eyes widened in fear.

"She's new so…" he began typing a few things. "120… I added the extra 20 for getting her items back-"

"And you might want to get rid of that ridiculous fee." He flared up in small anger. "Cause I know you don't pay a fee for giving items back to their owners."

"And how do you know this?" he asked.

"Because he's a fucking farmer." Ben stated as the mare was forced to her feet. "And I also know that what he says is true."

"Very well… smart one this one is…" he then muttered as I shot a glare at him.

"How about for her brother and sister?" the mare's eyes widened this time in surprise.

"For them? Let's see." He began to type on the tablet as Ben made small talk with the guard. "For the brother about 200 but for the sister… she's currently going onto the market in an hour… she's yellow with red hair."

"Meaning bidders left and right?" Ben nodded in response. "We will check that out later…" I stated. "But the two are ones I do want." He nodded as the guard placed a collar around her neck and gave Ben a small device.

"The collar will be of use only when in this building. Press the button and all those with the same frequency will be given a shock." The guard stated as he went back to his position.

"I have sent in the order for the brother who will be meeting up with us at the end of the hall." I looked at the mare.

"Any suggestions?"

"Why are you asking a simple animal?" immediately I shot a glare that made him pale as well take a gulp. I then turned my attention back to the mare.

"I prefer to have workers that are alright around others." Not like they are going to be working.

"Um…" she started.

"Lance are you sure you-"

"Shush!" he raised his hands in defense and took a step back. "Whatever names she says I would like to ask of you to see if they are here." The man nodded as he prepared his tablet.

"Rarity…" she started. "Fluttershy… Rainbow Dash… and Pinkie Pie." I turned my head to the man.

"You get that?" he nodded as he was typing away at the tablet.

"let's see here… the first one being a unicorn with three diamonds and being one to make clothes that are fashion in their world… family being a little sister who is still by these records in their world. Belongings being a locket that resembles this mare's locket. Her being 150." I nodded and motioned for him to continue. "Next being a Pegasus with three butterfly's and she seemed to take care of injured animals and seems to be able to speak to them." my eyes widened at this. "Is very shy and timid and only belonging is a locket… again… her being 230 and family are unknown."

"She's perfect ain't she…?" I heard Ben mutter.

"Next up we have one that has been here for 7 months… she could never be tamed by her owners which has resulted in their injury as well as hers. She is a Pegasus with a rainbow lightning bolt coming from a cloud… she was what was on the weather team and seems to be able to fly at supersonic speeds which seemed to be a pain in the ass for all of her owners… again a locket for her belongings family unknown… her being 300."

"She's going to be a tough one…" Ben muttered as I waited for the information on the last one.

"And finally we have the pink menace herself…" pink menace? "just a normal earth pony that has baked treats for a living and has three balloons as a cutie mark… seems to always have something with her and seems to move at unimaginable speeds… is quite annoying at times her handlers state every time she is with them… belongings also a locket with several of what she calls party cannons…" he looked at me. "Her being 190."

"I'll take them all." The mares eyes widened as well as the mans and Ben's.

"Are you sure you can pay for all this sir?" the man then asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You have no idea how much I have and how badly I want to get this over with. Place an order for the unicorn's sister though…" he nodded as he began typing at his tablet. When he was done he looked back at me.

"They are currently being collected from their cells and will meet up with us at the end." I nodded. "I have also sent for a request to get the items that each of them own and will be given once we also get down there." I nodded. "You still have 20 minutes until the marketing begins. Anything else you desire?"

"Yeah expect me to return here sooner or later." He smiled. "But this is all I shall be getting for now…" he nodded as we began to walk down and past the cells until we reached an area that had the 6 ponies with 4 guards watching them. Their eyes widened when they spotted the mare that was with me. "Go on over to them." the mare looked hesitant but with a small push she ran over and was embraced in a hug by them all. I smiled at the thought of them all being friends.

Let me just get this out of the way quickly… the orange mare had what seemed to be a D-cup, the pink one seemed to have a G-cup, which had Ben practically drooling over, the yellow one had a low B-cup, the cyan one had a mid-high B-cup, and finally the white one had a C-cup… man am I glad that's out of my mind… "For those that make larger purchases of 3 or more ponies." The man started as I looked at him. "We have an area where clothes can be given to the owners liking."

"Take them there and allow them to take whatever they want of one set of clothing. I'll get more for them later." His eyes widened but he nodded as he started to walk away but I grabbed his arm. "If any of them are afraid or anything of any of you or are acting unnaturally…" I pulled his head into my face. "I will sue this place…" he gulped and nodded his head as he walked over to the group as guards began to take them away. "Meet us at the market area!" the man turned around and nodded as they walked through a large door.

"Are you sure you want all of them?" Ben asked as he got to my right side.

"Yeah I'm sure…"

"You're not actually putting them to work are you?" he then asked. "Cause if I know you…"

"The farm has been treated by human hands ever since my grandfather got it… I don't want to desecrate his living by having them work… just for show."

"I'll come up and check up on you every now and then since you have so many of them." he said putting a hand onto my shoulder.

"I thank you for that. Do you know where the market is?" he nodded as we began to walk around… soon reaching the market as it started.

"Alright everyone! Let's start the market! First up we have a…" I zoned out as they began selling young ponies… both male and female… after about ten of them one of them was forced out that resembled the orange mare. And it was yellow with red hair… she was wearing a very tight sports bra and seemed to be only 10 as she had on girly panties… "This is a country pony that lives on a farm! Who shall start the bid!" the trick to this is to see just how high others are willing to go before going in when there's a price no one wants to beat… "10!"

"20!"

"30!"

And so it begins… "Ben do you know if they take card?" I asked him as he nodded as I waited.

Soon we entered the hundreds with only three fighting for the girl… "500!" I smiled as no one else took up the offer as I made my way to the front.

"600!" the man that had previously yelled it was a large man who seemed to be quite mad. "I can keep on going it you want!" I then said with a smile.

"700!"

"800!" I then yelled with a smile.

"1000!"

"1500!" his eyes widened but then it turned to one of anger.

"3000!"

"5000!" I then yelled as I gave a yawn.

"No one would spend so much money on a brat but me! 7000!"

"10 grand!" I then yelled as the crowd around me began to whisper.

"15 grand and that's my final offer!" he yelled with a sick smile on his face as I saw his mouth say 'that brat is as good as mine'. This made me narrow my eyes.

"20 grand!" he stood there astonished as I smirked. "I said I could do this all day! Didn't you hear me?" I stated with a laugh as the gavel came down signaling I had won as a man forced her over to me as Ben got over next to me. I crouched down with a smile as I began to whisper to the scared girl. "I got your brother and sister… no need to worry little one…" there was some tears in her eyes when the next one was called out as she whipped her head around as I saw her move her lips to form one name…

Scootaloo… sighing as the man came over with a thing to transfer the money over I stopped him. "I plan on getting one more here…" he nodded as he stood next to me as the bidding began… and then I won as soon as I bid cause they all knew not to mess with me… when she was forced over to me I saw that she was an orange filly with purple hair. I handed my card to the man as he swiped it before he gasped and paled with widened eyes. He then quickly looked at me.

"Anything else… mister Pendragon…" those around me stopped and began to mumble.

"I think I'm good for now. Can I get these two to get some clothes?"

"Do you have any other- yes you do. Very well follow me please." I nodded as Ben kept an eye on the two as we started to walk. "It is an honor to be in you-"

"Cut the crap… don't call me Pendragon… just Lance will do…" he nodded as he pushed open a door to reveal a large area of clothing racks of many varieties. I could spot the ones that I had bought waiting around a dressing room with the guards and the man. "Ben stay with the two young ones please." He nodded as I lead the man over to the group that stopped when they saw me.

"Ah… how did the market go? I am so sorry but you did say-" I stopped him there.

"I got two little ones that are currently with ben getting clothes." He nodded.

"where?!" he quickly stated as the man that was with me pulled him close to whisper into his ear as the man paled and started to sweat a little before he stood up straight. "Well then… your finances are covered but we have other things to speak of. Apparently three of the ponies here have pets…"

"Get them all." He nodded as he hit his tablet three times.

"Branding…" the mares all gasped as I face palmed.

"No branding… period… maybe a necklace or something." He nodded. "I'll be back for that then. Anything else?" the man that had taken the money whispered into his ear as he began to type into the tablet.

"Ah yes. One of the two you just bought also has a scooter and helmet." He stated. "You-" I gave him a thumbs up as I looked at what they had all chosen to wear.

The orange mare went with a red checkered button up shirt which was tied where her breasts were and also had on jeans that were rolled up just above her knee with simple brown cowboy boots. She also had on the brown cowboy hat that was in her possession. From what I could also see that she had on a red bra… she also had a red braid in her blond hair. Now that I'm seeing her height she seemed to be 5 feet and 10 inches tall. Just one below my own height.

The white one had on a dress that didn't have a strap for the right shoulder instead it hugged her as it went over her left shoulder and this dress was white. I could also, unfortunately, see that she had on a purple bra… stop showing the bra already! She also had on purple heals. She seemed to be 5 feet and 7 inches tall.

Next was the yellow one who had on a green sweatshirt with black dress jeans on… simple… just how I like it. Then for her footwear she had simple green and white sneakers. I fear that she might have a heatstroke in all of that. She looked like she was 5 feet and two inches tall.

Next the pink one who had just exited the dressing room had on a shirt that threatened to rip the more she moved around which was a neon green and said 'Rave Party' on its front. Her stomach was showing as she also had on tight neon blue shorts… and it seemed she had no bra on which threatened my nose to burst out bleeding… and she also had sandals. She was just a little taller than the other one being at 5 feet and 3 inches.

Then we have the last mare being the cyan one who had on jeans that were turned into shorts by ripping off the legs of it. With a black shirt with a red skull and crossbones on with a black biker jacket… she also had on sneakers that were black and red. This one seemed to be the same as the pink one at 5 feet 3 inches.

Then finally the stallion who had on a simple red muscle shirt which was slightly darker than his actual color with brown jeans with a belt buckle of a bull. Now he looked like he could kill me a million times over with his height… he was a whopping 6 feet and 2 inches give or take. He also had on brown tie up work boots.

"Uh… sir…" I looked at the man.

"What?" I asked annoyed as he gulped.

"If you desire you can call this number to get custom made clothes for your ponies." I grabbed the card with a small thank you and put it into my left breast pocket on my dark green checkered button up shirt. I had an obsession with black and green for some reason… maybes it's because my hair is black and I have forest green eyes. I can't tan so I can't get rid of my latte colored skin unless I was at the temperature of 500 degrees… and I preferred not to be eaten thank you very much… "Or since one of your new ponies does fashion you could order materials so she could do them herself." Hm… save money by having her make them huh?

"I'll call when I make up my mind." He nodded. The ponies looked uneasy as they looked at me.

"I'm done over here!" Ben stated as he came into view with both the fillies as the yellow one ran and jumped into a hug with her brother and sister causing me to smile. Although then a blue blur went flying past me knocking me back as I looked to see that the cyan Pegasus was spinning around with the orange filly.

"I thought you said she had no family?" I asked angrily towards the two men as the guards looked ready to defend their colleagues.

"She doesn't… that pony right there is actually an orphan. The orange one I mean." This calmed me down a little. "Now about breeding…"

"If I need it will call got it?" he nodded very fast as I gave a sigh of relief. The sister of the orange mare and red stallion seemed to be 4 feet and 8 inches tall and she had on a kids size lime green short sleeve shirt with jeans that were rolled up just an inch higher than the plain brown cowboy boots she was wearing.

The orange one appeared to be 4 feet and 5 inches tall and had on a yellow shirt with a dark green vest with a popped up collar as well as dark blue shorts… yeah I think I'm finally done here…
