Sparx strode into her newly opened shop. She ordered some things and then mopped up a little since she had trailed in some snow. She hoped customers would arrive soon....

Interested in the new shop, Fluttershy walked in. She had been out and about all morning shopping for this or that...
"Hello, Sparx!" she said. "What a lovely store. What are you selling today?" She could feel her sweet tooth overtaking her.
(OOC: Um... assuming they'd know each other...)

(OOC: Lol!)
"Hello!" Sparx replied cheerfully. She stepped behind the counter. "Well, there's an opening special today! If you buy one box of milk chocolates, you get an extra box of assorted free."

Fluttershy had to admit she was getting a little chubby around the middle, but how could she pass up such a great deal on chocolate?
"Oh, I think I'll take that, then," she said cheerfully. "Maybe I can give a box to a friend." She blushed then, imagining who that might be. She was tempted to rush over to his shop right then and there, but decided it was best to restrain herself. She had overheard some fillies in Dream Valley going on about how stallions liked it when you played hard to get.

"Coming right up!" Sparx said, reaching into the display case and taking out one box of milk chocolate, then adding a box of assorted from one of the shelves. "I hope you enjoy them," she said with sincerity as she handed the two boxes over to Fluttershy. Something always gave her joy when she could please a customer.

Fluttershy smiled with deep appreciation as she handed over her pony bucks in exchange for the colorful boxes. She placed them in her knapsack and then turned to Sparkleworks.
"Well, thanks again! I'll be sure to tell my friends about your lovely store. Now I have to go and run some other errands."
And with that she gave her friend a nod and went on her way.

Sparx smiled. "Thanks," she said and watched as her friend left the store.

Sparx decided to work on Snowflake's gift in her spare time. She had the perfect idea. She was planning to create a snowglobe with all of the 'group'; herself, Snowflake, Cane, Tink, Mace, Moe, and even Shade. It would look as if Snowflake would have snow swirling around her- for that was the point. Snowflake would be "making" the snow inside the globe. The rest of the group would be looking on with wonder. She got to work with the items she had for making it- though it would be hard to make the group with the few resources she had. Sparx knew she would come up with a plan all the same.

(con. from Cafe)
Rose huffed almost angrily after stepping foot out of the cafe. What the heck is wrong with me? I never used to get this upset with other ponies! And he didn't even do anything, he just sat there!
She huffed again, as if for good measure, and began to storm her way down the street. And she almost storm right past Bloomin' Blossoms giving her fake sick day away in her anger. Though fate smiled upon Rose at that moment, for a passerby mentioned something of a chocolate shop.
Rose had stopped dead in her tracks. A chocolate shop? Well, that was just the solution to all of Rose's problems, at least at the given moment. The red mare turned on a dime, heading in the way from which she came. The moment she saw the store with confections in the title, she knew that this was it.
Without hesitation Rose stepped inside and out of the cold. Her eyes looked at the many delicious treats, and she almost began to drool. "I think I've died and went to heaven," she said, then and there. Rose wasn't afraid to admit that she was a chocoholic, and probably of the worse degree.

Aloha Pearl hated snow - even more than that she hated cold. She was walking around town with a large frown across her almost invisible face, her whole body being so wrapped up in coats and scarfs and gloves and boots that she could barely see, and certainly no one would know who she was. Not that many knew who she was to begin with - she had just moved here.
Listening to the little tinkle of the bell as she walked into the store, she lowered the hood of her coat and loosened her scarf, revealing her white body and braided hair.
"Ello mons, I don' suppose ya got anyting ta warm a girl up?" she asked in her distinctly Carribean accent.

Rose's ears turned up at the sound of Pearl. And the first thing that ran through her mind was That is one heavy accent.
Rose turned to face the pony which was hard considering how much chocolate there was to stare at. She was surprised at first at how overly dressed in layers she was, but reminded herself that the other probably wasn't anywhere near close to this bitter weather.
"You might want to try Cotton Candy's Café," she pointed out the window a little down the oposite side of the street. "They've got a pretty mean hot chocolate," she said, almost licking her lips at the sound of the word. Oh sometimes it's so hard to pretain any form of manors in a chocolate store.

"Hello there," Sparkleworks said in a warm tone. She could barely understand the other pony's sentence through her accent, but she managed. "Need something warm, eh?" Suddenly she jumped up and went to a back room. She came back holding a steaming mug of hot chocolate. "There's hot chocolate mix for sale here," she said, explaining how she had gotten it. "Luckily there's a microwave in the back. This one's on me." Carefully placing the cup in front of Aloha Pearl, she greeted Rose. "Hello there, how can I help you?"

Aloha smiled brightly at Sparkleworks, "tanks mon! Maybe aftah dis one I will head on over ta da Cafe' an hay myself anodah." She grabbed the cup up and took a small sip, squeezing her eyes shut as the cocoa burnt the tip of her tongue. "Maybe I should wait a bit for it to cool down hey?" Finding her manners, she looked at the other two with bright eyes, "Im Aloha Pearl, from de Island Jadus Marinus. Nice ta meetcha both mons!" (Holy Carp, I feel like Shadoh purposfully typing like that! )

Rose stiffled a giggle at how the other had burnt her tongue. Though Rose understood that it was hard not to drink hot chocolate the moment it was handed to you. Although hot chocolate is worth the pain of scorching your tongue.
It would take a while to get used to Pearl's accent. She couldn't say that the accent appealed to her, she was more particular to the more nasel sounding accents, like French. But it was only prefrence, and it wasn't annoying. At least, not yet.
"Well," Rose thought out loud as she began to answer Sparks," What would you recomend? Everything looks so good it'd be hard to choose myself." And Rose didn't have the money to got on a large chocolate binge, just a minor one.
Then, as an after thought,"...and I know that strawberries are out of season. But do you have an chocolate dipped strawberries? I've got a friend back in Dream Valley who craves those." The perfect present for Straberry Brandy all right.

"There's an Opening Day sale going on. It's buy one box of milk chocolates, get another box of assorted free," Sparx said for a suggested recommendation. Her brow furrowed as she thought on Rose's other question. "Let me go check in back," she said, and went to go search for chocolate-covered strawberries. They sounded oddly familiar, as if she had just seen some the other day. She came back out frowning. "I'm afraid the only close thing to that is either chocolate covered cherries or strawberry swirl chocolate bars," she said. She gave herself a mental note that she would have to order in some chocolate-covered strawberries. One of the only things she didn't have in supply! She told Rose she would order some in as soon as possible and apologized.
