Ruby slowly creeps to the window she crawled in before and takes a glance outside. There aren’t any guards in the alleyway, so she crawls out and peeks around the corner nearest to the front entrance.
The guards are gone, but not wanting to take chances she heads back through the broken window and up to her apartment.
Inside she sees her three roommates sitting around the table and discussing something.
“You!” Rat says, jumping up from the table and pounding over to the filly, “You!”
“Me!” Ruby says, not backing down.
“Where is your earring? Give me it here.” Rat says, holding out his hoof.
“I lost it.” Ruby retorts angrily.
“Liar! Turn out your pockets!” Rat says.
He doesn’t wait for Ruby to do so, and pounces on the the filly in an attempt to wrest it from her. Through the struggle Ruby can hear Sleepy and Barber shout in alarm, and a few seconds later he feels the earring pulled from her pocket.
Rat then kicks the filly off of him and stands up. The stallion then pulls the gem out of the earring and tosses the accessory towards the ground near Ruby, who dives for it and catches it. She stands up to see Rat still breathing hard, and Sleepy and Barber standing at the table nearby, their chairs knocked away.
“Do you know what we had to go through last night?” Rat says, waving the hoof holding the gem at her.
Ruby is seething. Indignant. And can still feel some of the blows from the short wrestling match they had. She almost sputters in anger.
