First Smile | [Action]

[brokethefourthwall]

[Hello, citizens of Luceti. I hope you're all enjoying your daily routine. Picking up your lunch for the afternoon, or catching up on some reading by the fountain. Maybe even taking a trip to the item shop for some... window shopping.

Because you're not getting inside.

That's right. Anyone approaching the item shop will instantly notice the wagon in the doorway. A wagon holding a mountain of items so random that it would take some kind of evil genius to see how they all fit together. Or Pinkie Pie. You should probably suspect Pinkie Pie. The bubblegum-pink pony is happily darting from pile to pile, shelf to shelf, picking up and playing with just about everything she can get her hoofs on. Every once in a while, she'll gasp in excitement, before tossing an item onto her ever-growing mound.]

This is the best. Store. Ever!

Sounds like fun! We can round up those sheepies and get them back in their pen!

[She turns and sticks her head into the pile of stuff. As she pulls away, she's wearing a dark blue bandana and is clutching a hammer between her teeth.]

Tbth-dth!

[honestapples]

[How Pinkie manages to do things like put on bandannas without even trying, AJ will never know. But she chuckles anyway.]

Winona's been doin' a real good job keepin' 'em from wanderin' off, but Ah still gotta get that fence fixed. 'preciate the help, Pinkie.

[brokethefourthwall]

Of course, Applejack! What are friends for?

[She's especially excited because Applejack actually asked for help. Woah.]

[fleurdesel]

A dour cloud of cheer is no cloud of cheer at all.

[honestapples]

[This is following on the heels of trying to fix the fence for a week without help and ending up with a pretty ugly mess, so don't be too excited...]

Still, Ah really appreciate it.

[Pause.]

...Alright, Ah gotta ask. What's all this stuff for?

[brokethefourthwall]

You said it~. [She giggles.] A dour sour flower will be frowning in an hour. Or something like that!

[brokethefourthwall]

[Pinkie wouldn't have it any other way.]

For the Super Special Friendship Jamboree, of course!

[brokethefourthwall]

How can I say no?

[She leans in, gently taking the gel in her mouth.]

Ooh, it's really sweet! [She chews happily.]

[brokethefourthwall]

Well that explains it! We don't have any hue-mans in my world~!

[brokethefourthwall]

A ladder? Hm. Lad...der.

[She taps a hoof to her chin.]

[brokethefourthwall]

I don't wanna take anything that's special to somepony else...

[She sulks, turning and looking back at the pile.]

[thebellthatbinds]

Or a step ladder? A stool maybe?

[brokethefourthwall]

It was... [Hm hm hoof tap hoof tap.] Blue! No, wait. Black. Or was it purple?

I remember it being sparkly. [Giggle.] I think that's what caught my attention in the first place!

[brokethefourthwall]

It sure helps! Especially since I forgot my money back in Ponyville.

[Must have left it in her other saddlebag. Whoops.]

[brokethefourthwall]

Since when do we need a reason to have a party?

[brokethefourthwall]

I think I might have one idea.

[Which, with any experience around Pinkie, proves to be a terrifying prospect.]

[doubleppk]

No, the Malnosso take that away. Unfortunately. Otherwise I'd have been rich.

[shying]

[Fluttershy is just on her way to pick up some bandages- she'd found a couple of baby birds who'd freshly hatched and hurt themselves falling from the nest, poor things. She hadn't expected to find... well, this. What in the world...]

Um... Pinkie? What are you doing...?

[Beams at that] You're right, it's fun getting to meet new people at parties~ They had a party for all the new people when I arrived here and it was fun~ I can't wait for yours! [Parties are awesome]

Oh! I'm Akito. Akito Wanijima~

[redjacketthief]

And...what kind of world is that?

[thebellthatbinds]

[Poor unknowing Sabriel.]

What's that?

[idealism]

Well... Uhm.

[He considers his words carefully, because that's a pretty big question.]

My sister says that money doesn't grow on trees. That's why we we can't have sweets every day.

[thelittlemacthatcould]

Some...pony?

[He frowns, looking mildly apologetic at her disappointment.]

...Well, y'know, you can ask a lot a' people t'help you out so that this party ends up bein' real awesome. [A shrug.] I mean, I can help ya out if y'want with, like, gettin' food or somethin'.

[honestapples]

Now why ain't Ah surprised you've already got a party in the works? [She grins.] When're ya gonna throw it?

[canterlock]

[This time Luna does manage to roll her eyes, accompanied by a very undignified snort. Well it could have been her crown. It is indeed one of those colors and very sparkly.]

Then we shall just have to search everything.

[She studies the pile a moment longer before turning her head and giving Pinkie a pointed look which means something like 'Thou wilt offer us assistance.']
