The child and father walked along the snowy side-walk as the sun began to set over the hills to the east. Both enjoying the others presence, Rune spoke up, "So son how was your day?"
"It was great! There were ponies all over us clapping for us, and throwing bits in our hat!" Finn replied hopping into the air, while he told the exciting story to his father.
"That's amazing son! Your little band is gaining quite the reputation." His dad smiled, stopping before a staircase leading up to a large building before them. "Here we are son, the second national bank of Equestria."
"Established ten years after the lunar wars, the second national bank of Equestria stands at the edge of the financial district, supporting the investors and shop owners of the district for nearly one-thousand years," Rune said to his son, telling him knowledge he already known. "During the great stalk famine, the market nearly boarded up this great bank," Rune shivered at the thought, "But no, the bank held together, and the crash passed bringing this bank to its forming state."
"Yeah dad, I know now what's the surprise?" Finn interrupted impatiently, reaching the top of the staircase.
"Oh, yes son I almost forgot," Finn's replied scratching his back. "Let me just put some money in the bank and I'll be ready."
Rune opened the door and Finn rushed in to the busy bank capering at the view of the activities happening in the bank. "Okay son, be on your best behavior while I deposit the money okay?" His father called over to Finn, getting into the shortest line he could see.
"Look at those business ponies doing stuff," Finn daunted walking up to the group.
"Well then I said my personal blimp had a private pool in it," A rich looking pony of the group bragged, making the others snort at what he said.
"Quite marvelous," One in the group spoke, while others agreed with the pony, Finn, who overheard the conversation, butted in, "How this that marvelous lady! That seems like a not nice thing to say."
"Little man, a course it is a nice thing to say, us rich ponies must show off what is ours, so lesser ponies learn to work harder to achieve more, basic richoligy," The leader snorted, patting Finn on the head.
"Richoligy?" The young colt questioned making the group laugh, "How quaint, the young lad doesn't know how philosophy, cute," One called.
"Well he is a commoner." Another taunted. "And commoners are dirty poor people."
"Shut your mouth lady, I'm not dirty, and my mom my dad isn't poor! Maybe your just, just a rich old hag!" Finn echoed, making ponies look over him and gasp.
"H-h-he, you little-," "Finn L. Money!" A demanding voiced yelled, startling him. "Oh no-"
"What are you doing, and why is there this entire yelling?" The voice called, now forming the shape of Finn's father.
"This thing, your son has mocked me, displaced religion, an-"
"Is this true son?"
The young filly nodded, knowing that arguing would cause more trouble. "Their it is, strait from the horse's mouth. You should ground this brat-"
"My son? Brat?" The father said with an offended laugh.
"What are you saying? Are you making fun of me , because if you are, I will report to the Police and you will-"
"Shut-up."
"You heard me, Shut-up" Rune said again, annoyed.
"WHAT!"
"Y-y-you are as bad as your son, you commoner and you are fil-."
"You think I really care? Because I'll be honest, my son Finn, whatever he said, was right. You're a self-center, rich, snob," Rune replied grabbing his son, "Come on Finn lets go to your surprise," Walking off.
"You're going to reward this foal! This is an outrage!"
The two walked off through an oak door as the rich mares yelling faded away in a red carpeted room.
"Sorry about what happen back their dad, it's just those ponies were big jerks!" Finn apologized, angry at the rich ponies mocking.
"Don't worry son, I would've done the same thing if I were in your hooves. Those rich ponies just need to see what life is like from the eyes of one of us. That would change their attitude," Rune replied assuring his son that everything was fine.
"Yeah dad, your right…. So what's the surprise?"
"Well I was getting to that," Rune smiled, trotting forward to open a large door ahead of them. "Enjoy," He bowed letting Finn trot in and suck in the atmosphere.
"Wow," Finn gasped, breathlessly trying to take it all in.
"Do you like it?" His father asked, before being bombarded with a huge hug by Finn.
"Thank you sooooooo much dad!" Finn bellowed hugging tighter with each word, suffocating his father.
"N-no problem son, but your kind of suffocating me," Rune chocked
"Oh sorry dad," Finn said letting go of his blue faced father.
It was a large room with hundreds of cubicles stretching across the vast space. A banner hung over the room with the large red letters reading: Welcome new and existing members!
As Finn read the sign, with a large smile on his face, a young unicorn with circular glasses and a check mark cutie mark approached the father and son. "Hello Mr. Rune, and hello Mr. Finn. Will we be discussing starting up a account for your son?"
"Yes Check, I believe my son will be in good hands with you. Finn, follow Mr. Eagerhimmer to his cubical, he will set you up with the terms of service and all that," Rune replied, shaking checks hand.
Finn detached from his father's side with one last hug and trotted beside Check towards the unicorn's cubical. "How long have you known my father Mr. Eagerhimmer?" Finn asked as they trotted beside two accountants going back to their small offices with coffee.
"Please Mr. Finn, call me Check, and I've known you're father for only about a year or so. He used to be with Old Quincy, but he retired about the same time I got a job here. Oh it looks like were at my office. Sit right here," Check said pointing at a small wooden chair in front of his desk.
Finn sat down, and to his surprise it was a really comfortable chair. "Do you like it? It was enchanted with a pillow to make the ultimate sitting experience," Check bragged sitting down while Finn nodded with an excited smile.
As the young pony smiled, Check opened drawers getting pieces of papers, and pens out onto the desk. "Ok, so your father and I discussed beforehand the amount your father with transfer over to you, your inheritance, and over-all amount you'll be able to withdraw in a single day."
"So, can you give me the details?"
"Oh yes," Finn coughed, picking up a piece of paper from his desk. "Your father will transfer said two-hundred and fifty bits over to your account. But with are ten percent banking fee you'll be receiving two-hundred and twenty-five dollars. Your inheritance, listed in his will reads: Finn Light Money will receive said one-hundred thousand bits, and the deed to Old Runes: Runes. Finally, until the age of eight-teen, you will only be able to withdraw two-hundred bits in a single day, unless you have the consent of your father or mother."
"Wow, my dad must put a lot of trust in me for giving all that stuff."
"No kidding, I heard that you want to continue the family business right?"
"Well not exactly, I want to run it, but make a name for myself. Be that pony that everypony talks about, you know?"
Check laughed, "I was just like you when I was your age. You see, I lived in a small village called Sternbrook. My father worked as a farmer, with little interest of the city. He expected me to act the same. Though, I did not feel the same way as him. So when I got the chance I took it, trying to achieve the same as you. Sadly, I was struck with bad luck when I came here. All my stalks fell, and in a month I was broke. So I started working here."
"That's lame," Finn sighed in pity.
"Yup, but that's how life works. Anyway read and sign this and we'll be done," Check replied giving Finn a pen, and contract.
Finn read the contract, and grabbing the pen, signed his name at the bottom, making it complete. Grabbing the paper with his magic, Check opened a cabinet putting the contract in it. "Well Mr. Finn, congratulations. I hope this bank will satisfy you for a long time," Check stood shaking Finn's hand.
"Thanks Check, but please call me Finn," Finn replied, shaking the unicorn's hand.
"Ok Finn. If you need anything, you know where to find me," Check said, and Finn nodded in understanding. "Oh, and tell your mom, I said hi."
Finn walked back to the main foyer. The snobby rich ponies were gone, with most of the other ponies as well. The glass windows showed Luna's darkness, with light snowfall coming down. Sitting at a bench beside the main door was his father, reading a newspaper, waiting for his son. Finn walked towards him and whisper, "Hi dad."
"Oh hi son, did it go well?"
"Go well? It went great!" Finn hugged his father, his father happy for him being happy.
When the hug ended, Rune checked the watch in his saddle, "Oh! Look at the time? Your mother will be expecting us soon!" He gasped hurriedly, walking towards the door.
Finn walked beside him, keeping up with the pace, his father set. When they got outside a cool chill ran down their neck, and snow was below their feet.
The two walked homed in silence, happy about the events that took place today. After ten minutes they finished the walk and were at the Money residence.
It was average sized blue-bricked house, with two windows on both sides of the building. The door was in the center, large and bulky, made of oak. A lamp was above it, shining brightly in the night.
Rune opened the door, as a mare's called, "You home boys?"
"Ya mom. What's for dinner?" Finn called back, happy to take in the warmth of the room they were in.
"Pasta, with a side of lettuce," She called walking into the room, opened winged, and hugging the two colts. "I'm glad you two men made it home in time, I was getting worried!"
"You didn't have worry so much honey-bun!" Rune hugged back, now nuzzling his wife.
"Ugh, call me back when you are done when dinner," Finn ruffled to the love-birds, trotting to his room and closing the door.
The room was small, with a bed and desk on the ground. Other than that, posters of bands were on the wall. Finn trotted over to his desk and sat down. Five minutes later, Finn heard a sound penetrate his walls, "Finn, time for dinner!"
"Ok mom!" He yelled back. Getting up Finn opened his door and walked to the dining room.
The dinner went by with the basic questions, and both Finn and Rune answered them positively. When the dinner was finished, Finn felt a bit worn-out, from the day's workings. Thanking his mom for the meal, he got up and trotted to his room. The light was still on when he arrived to his room, so he turned it off and fell into a deep, dreamful sleep.
