Alrighty then, heres the first of the double update backstories to make up for my day of gami-I mean sickness. GAMBITS ROULETTE

'So that's what he has for cards...' the silvery gray pony thought to himself as he read the marked cards. This was nopony in specific, just the chump who fell victim to Gambit's dirty deeds. Gambit was well known around Equestria, or at least his name was. In every casino and bar across the country hung his neat little picture from several years ago when he had gotten caught. He had been barely legal to gamble back then, but that didn't mean he hadn't. As soon as he could walk he had begun to steal things, liking that he had other people's stuff. He would run into crowds and walk around reaching into ponies' sadelebags and grabbing anything shiny. He had eventually pulled out a medallion from a rather shifty looking pony's pocket that he tried to sell to a pawn shop. The shop owner had demanded to know where he had gotten it, as not many people dropped Equestrian Poker Champion medals on the ground. Of course he had said he found it, not mentioning that it was out of somepony's bags. The shop owner didn't ask any more questions and paid him 2000 bits. That's when he first went to the canterlot casino. He had paid the owner to let him play even though he was underage. He played one game and he was hooked. He'd been playing ever since. The day he won his first poker tournament he had gotten his cutie mark. A royal flush withan everchanging amount of poker chips underneath. Many ponies had tried to guess why his poker chips changed unlike the other poker ponies. But no one thouht to look into it. He had been caught about three years ago in the Canterlot casino. He had been playing a game of poker when he had won a substancial amount of chips. He had left the table and gone to the bathroom. When he had walked out, his cutie mark's poker chips had doubled. He cashed in his prize and went to his suite to stay overnight. In the morning he had been confronted by casino security. They told him that he had been cashing in fake chips. He had jumped out of his window and run down the balconies onto the streets. He had made his first get away and made his reputation as the greatest thief begin. From then on he had pulled many a heist and taken several casinos money by tripling what he had earned at tables with his own chips. Every time he used his own chips his cutie mark's chips multiplied to match. Until today he had never even tried marked cards. Now he regretted never using them.

'Well this makes things easier' he thought. 'Now I can get out of here quickly.'

Just as he said this a mare walked over to him and whispered in his ear.

"Excuse me sir, but I believe that you are a certain Mr. Roulette. Would you so kindly follow me. My employer requires your services."

"Uh. Sure, let me finish this round though."

"My employer can pay triple the amount you could 'make' here."

"Well then lead the way." Gambit followed the mysterious black and blue pony. He didn't know why but he trusted this mare. He followed her to the back of the building and over to a concealed elevator. As they stepped in the door closed behind him. He thought to himself that there was no going back now. He would do anything for money, but perhaps this was a bit much. He had been previously contacted and told to come to this casino specifically. The brown stallion who had given him the message had said he'd be contacted here. He'd done jobs before, so he understood the secrecy. As the doors sealed shut the mare took out a key and put it into a concealed hole in the wall. The door opened as the electric sign said boss.

"Alright Mr. Roulette, please follow me."

"Excuse me miss, not to be rude but could you please call me Gambit?"

"Why of course...Gambit." she batted her eyelashes at him a lttle bit seductively. He decided that he'd look into that relationship later. They walked down the hall into a room where there was a brown alicorn reclining on a giant leather backed couch. He was talking to a green stallion in a black suit. As they walked in he looked up and whispered something into the stallion's ear. The stallion looked at Gambit on his way out, nodding to the mare.

"Alright Gambit, Mr. Underground will see you now."

Hows that for a leadin heh heh. Anyway onto the second double header that is related to this. Next chapter later today.
