Rainbow Dash stared uncomprehendingly at the notice in front of her, mindlessly sipping her morning coffee and trying to remember whether she’d put hay waffles in the toaster or not because she didn’t want to expend the energy necessary to get up and check. It was so early in the morning she wasn’t even awake enough to realize her wings were still stiff when she went outside to get the mail.
Her tickets to the latest Wonderbolts show, which had arrived that day and been extracted from their envelope just moments earlier, sat by her foreleg on the kitchen table, and some discarded junk mail had made its way onto the floor near the trash can as a result of her bad aim. But this one letter just wouldn’t process, no matter how many times she read it. The stupid, oblivious grin that had been on her face ever since she saw her Wonderbolts tickets remained, unaffected by what she was seeing.
Finally, after about five minutes of rereading it, Rainbow’s brain finally made sense of the words:
Ms. Rainbow M. Dash,
As a result of your failure to appear before Cloudsdale’s High Court on Thursday, in regards to your arrests for numerous gross speeding violations in multiple districts across Cloudsdale since the inception of our citywide speed limits, you have been tried in absentia and found guilty on all eight hundred and seventy five charges (please see attached documents for a list of specific charges and decisions).
On the same day, your sentence was handed down. You are hereby ordered to pay to the City of Cloudsdale the following amount: one million one hundred and twelve thousand six hundred and thirty nine bits. Because it has been discovered by this court’s investigation that you do not possess the requisite amount, your home and belongings are hereby seized by the City of Cloudsdale. You have three days to gather any items of personal significance and vacate the premises.
Dash’s smile slowly morphed into a contemplative frown.
“...Cloudsdale has a speed limit?”
After reading this after being suggested by my friend (SkyrimLegion.) I must say I was both pleasantly surprised and baffled by this. The fantastic lengths of imagination that are present in people's minds are sometimes staggering. I found myself laughing at one chapter and melancholy the next. I hope keep growing this archive of stories because they make a pleasant read and are thoroughly enjoyable.
4.5 Abides Out Of 5
Abiding it like Baguette: It's long and pleasant, and very hard to eat... Now onto the baguette.

Jesus, dude, put another comma in there!
You dun goofed, Rainbow, you dun goofed.
RAINBOW DAAASH! YOU DONE-BE DOOFED! YOU DONE-BE DOOFED!
I object. Has Miss Dash ever been sent either a summons or notices for her fines? Has it occurred to send an official to her home to ensure that she had indeed received any and all notices for her accusations? Not to mention that the amount charged is ludicrous, as on average it amounts to over twelve-hundred bits per violation.

I would imagine the fine for going faster than the speed of sound in a suburban neighborhood would be pretty steep
3435916 1200 times 875 is 1,050,000.
3737143
Not sure how that comment should be received. I did say "over", and twelve hundred was a nice round number. Also I do maths, I do maths good.
