My Little Pony - The Legend of Friendship (MLP remake with male OC added)

56. One Bad Hammer

While still asleep in his bed, a loud and fast knocking could be heard on Star Twinkle's door, forcing him to get up and interrupt his sleep.
"I'm coming...I'm coming..." He said annoyed while he rubbed one of his eyes.

He opened the door with his eyes only half open and saw his boss Steel Hammer in front of him who looked like as if he was either in a pretty big hurry or being chased by something. Calling him being stressed out would be a big understatement.

"Star Twinkle! You have to help me!" He said putting his face close to Star Twinkle.

"Can I help you a little later? It's still early in the morning..." Star Twinkle replied half-asleep, pointing out that it is even earlier than when he had to go to work.

"No! Later is too late! She is arriving in a few hours!" He exclaimed stressed.

"Who?" Star Twinkle asked.

"My sister!" Steel Hammer replied.

Star Twinkle's eyes immediately popped open after that. He didn't say a single word and quickly shut the door in front of Steel Hammer, causing the stressed out Earth-Pony to knock like crazy on his door again. "Hey! Don't do this to me! I need your help!" He pleads as he knocked rapidly on the door.

"Oh, no! I don't want to get caught up in the trouble between you and your sister!" Star Twinkle replied while he put his body against the door out of fear that Steel Hammer would actually smash it open.

"But if you are around then she probably won't be so annoying!! You know how she can be!" Steel Hammer said before he stopped the knocking.

"Exactly, now you know why I am not looking forward to it!" Star Twinkle exclaimed from the other side of the door.

There was a silence after those words. Star Twinkle wondered if Steel Hammer left but he didn't open the door to check, in case that this was a trap. But it wasn't since Steel Hammer spoke up again.
"You know..." Steel Hammer started while sounding a little more sinister this time. "I can always cut short your salary..."

The door was instantly slammed open by Star Twinkle who looked at his boss before the door even opened all the way up. "You wouldn't!" He said with a stressed expression on his face now.

"I don't have to. I just need you to support me..." Steel Hammer said with a grin on his face which wasn't a sinister one this time. That was probably due to the fact that he knew that he had Star Twinkle now.

It was not like Star Twinkle was depending on money too much. He always had enough savings when it mattered but it was just a low blow from Steel Hammer's site. Star Twinkle knew that Steel Hammer's sister never stayed too long whenever she came to visit so he might as well just endure her visit. Still, he did regret to actually helping Steel Hammer in this matter.

Later...

"I can't believe this," Star Twinkle thought as he looked into the distance annoyed by what Steel Hammer forced him to do.

Both Earth-Ponies waited at the train station for Steel Hammer's sister to arrive. Steel Hammer kept a close look on the train rails while Star Twinkle could only let out some frustrated gasps every now and then as he waited for Steel Hammer's sister to arrive. He was not really looking forward to this meeting. He only met Steel Hammer's sister on one or two occasions but that was enough to get a picture of her. Ironically, her "character" wasn't even directed towards Star Twinkle but because of how he was forced to be around Steel Hammer, he was afraid that he would get involved in something really bad.
