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!

[Pinkie pops out of the middle of the pile, wearing an oversized foam-rubber cowboy hat.]

Hiya, Rapunzel! I'm just getting everything ready for a super huge party I'm planning!

[That hat does look quite nice on her!]

You're planning a party? What sort of party?

[But it'll look even better on you!]

Well, I was going to use all this to throw a party just to make new friends, but everypony started telling me that this stuff already belongs to people, I thought "Duh, Pinkie Pie! Let's throw a party where everypony can be reunited with their belongings!" [Giggle.]

So that's exactly what I'm gonna do!

[She smiles at the thought, but she's not nearly as enthusiastic about party-throwing as she was last time they talked.]

Oh, that sounds very nice. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun!
