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!

[Suddenly, Pinkie pops out of her own pile, grinning wide.]

About as much as you needed my pies~!

[And just like that, she vanishes back into the shop, humming a happy tune.]

[fleurdesel]

...You could at least not block the entrance from the rest of us! I've decks of cards to find. [She huffs and crosses her arms.]

How am I to prepare for the party if I can't get anything for it?

[brokethefourthwall]

[And that certainly got her interest. Her head pops out again.]

Party? Well why didn't you say so!

[The wagon quickly rolls into the item shop, rolling across the room and into the opposite wall. Somehow, not a single item fell from the pile atop it.]

[fleurdesel]

...how did you- [Well she can ask or she can follow, so she follows. Cards, extra plates, and dice for the games aren't going to find themselves after all.]

Thank you, strange little quadruped.

[brokethefourthwall]

[She giggles.]

That sure is a funny name. It sounds like something out of one of Twilight's books.

[fleurdesel]

It's all I have to call you, as I don't know your name.

stupid format.

[brokethefourthwall]

Ohmygosh! [She places a hoof on her cheek.]

I never gave you my name! [Giggle.] I guess there were so many pies flying around that it just slipped my mind! [Hee.]

[fleurdesel]

I will admit; I was just as caught up in the fight as you were. [She huffs a laugh and extends a hand down to the pink pony. Thing.]

Adele Levarre.

[brokethefourthwall]

[Pinkie smiles, leaning back onto her hind legs, pushing one of her hooves into Adele's hand.]

I'm Pinkie Pie!

[fleurdesel]

[Adele gives the...appendage. A shake.]

Pleasure to meet you Pinkie Pie.

[brokethefourthwall]

[Her smile only grows.]

And you, too! I'm really happy that we can be friends! It's going to take a lot of work if I'm going to be friends with everypony in Luceti!

[fleurdesel]

Parties usually work to make friends- wait. EveryPony? There are more of you here? Or do you mean to say every'one' in Luceti?

[brokethefourthwall]

There sure are more ponies here! They're my bestest friends there ever could be~!

[fleurdesel]

It's good you have others from your world here with you. Are they all as adorable as you are little Pink dear?

[brokethefourthwall]

Oh, I don't know about that! If you want adorable, you should talk to my friend Fluttershy. She's friends with the cutest little animals!

[Woosh.]

[fleurdesel]

You are the first of your kind I have seen here. But...hm. [A moment, then she shrugs.]

You and your friends are more than welcome to come by House 44 whenever you like. I would love to meet you all Pinkie Dear.

[brokethefourthwall]

Really? That would be great! We can all get together and have a great big party~!

[fleurdesel]

You are quite enthusiastic about parties, aren't you? What kind of parties do little ponies have?

[brokethefourthwall]

Well I better be enthusiastic! It is my cutie mark, after all!

[fleurdesel]

...what is a cutie mark?

[brokethefourthwall]

This is a cutie mark!

[She turns to the side, showing off the three balloons marked on her flank.]

You mean to tell me hue-monkeys don't have cutie marks?

[fleurdesel]

...is that a tattoo? Who tattoos little quadrupeds Pinky Dear?

[brokethefourthwall]

Tat...too? What's that?

[fleurdesel]

Pigment injected under the skin through punctures made by a needle in a pattern such as your...cutie mark.

[brokethefourthwall]

Needles?

[Ow. Pinkie rubs her flank at the thought.]

That doesn't sound very fun.
