5th Rose: A Day in the Life...

[crescentxrose]

Morning


It's a regular day in Ponyville, the sun rising around the same time as it normally does. But this day was viewed by a pair of different eyes, and he handled things the same each day but done in a different fashion.

Zwei woke up from his makeshift bed beneath the set of bunk beds which Ruby frequented each day, yipped quietly and made his way out the room and down the hallway. The Corgi soon entered the kitchen, heading over toward his bowl where a can of dog food -and a can opener- were already set down waiting. It took him a while, but Zwei finished his breakfast about 5-10 minutes. Opening the can took less time than that, as the Corgi had lots of practice with it.

Fairly full and ready for seize the day, Zwei heard various chatter and silently headed into the living room where the few members of Team RWBY and JNPR -technically, Team RYPJ or Team RJPY- were at, heading out after them to get to work on time. Those who are out and about should spot Zwei heading toward Bon Bon's store at a relatively decent pace, not too fast or too slow.


Lunch


The day half over with, Zwei had finished his rounds for his first shift of the day at his assigned post: running on the big wheel which helped the conveyor to move the assorted candies while other ponies helped sort through them. (This job had once been Ruby's before Lyra had promoted her a few months back.) With his owner somewhere around the area eating lunch herself, the Corgi dog was eagerly eating as well. Most days he'd be eating more dog food, or on certain days he'll be eating something rather sweet like cake.

Today however, Zwei's been served a helping of hay fries and a hay burger. He'll be eating them at the same pace he's been known to eat breakfast but for those who dare to see what he's up to, he won't bite. (Zwei's been trained to be polite and kind to anyone he meets.) Of course, once he's finished eating he'll have some water to drink from, and when he's finished with that he'll bark loud enough for Ruby to hear and it's back to work they go!


Dinner


His day finished and his second shift taken care of, which is patrolling the grounds for any suspicious ponies who might wanna take advantage of the Earth pony's generous nature, Zwei's making his way back home alongside Ruby -and possibly Yang if she's caught up to them while also getting ready for her own shift. (Ruby works at day, Yang works at night as part of the Night Guard.) For those who are out at this late time of day, the Corgi will yip and bark to acknowledge your presence but wouldn't mind a quick hello if it's needed.

After a hearty dinner which once again differs depending on what's on the menu, Zwei will walk with Yang to her shift -even though she doesn't really need to have the Corgi around to 'guard' her- and make his way back home. Once he arrives, Ruby will be waiting at the door to pick him up and hug him tightly.

Did you have a fantastic day, Zwei? Hehehe, I'm sure you must've been really busy with your job, just like I was with mine!

Though it may not seem like he can understand what Ruby says, he respond with a affirmative bark while licking Ruby's face appreciatively. When it's bedtime, Zwei will go right back to that makeshift bed, circle it three times and lay down while going to sleep.


Being a dog must be so easy in a world like Ponyville...! No Grimm to fight, no bad guys to help take down every other day. Good night, Zwei. ♥
