First Smile | [Action]

[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!

[She giggles.]

There might be a second one in there somewhere! Need a hand?

[honestapples]

The garden oughta be fine, but... now that ya mention it, Ah could use some help whenever ya have a few free hours.

[AJ hates to ask for help with this, but... well, she did make a huge mess of the sheep pen and she's not sure she can fix it with just herself. Winona is awesome, but she'll be busy keeping the sheep rounded up...]

Would ya mind helpin' me rebuild the fence for the sheep pen?

[brokethefourthwall]

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.]

[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]

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

For the Super Special Friendship Jamboree, of course!

[honestapples]

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

[brokethefourthwall]

I haven't decided yet! I just came up with the name. [Giggle.]

[honestapples]

[Soft chuckle.]

Well, Ah'm sure you'll have everythin' put together 'fore too much longer. It'll be nice ta have a Pinkie party again.

[Life has been far too quiet and party-free for too long.]

[brokethefourthwall]

Tell me about it! If I don't get to throw a party soon, I think I might burst!
