"Well, do you ship things to houses?," Rose asked," Because it would be a big help if you could just ship the order out to Dream Valley for me. If you can't it isn't a big deal.," she spoke, looking for the milk chocolates. Next visit I will have to buy dark chocolates than.

"We certainly do! If you could write the address down here," Sparx said, handing Rose an address order form, "Then I'll send it there as soon as it comes in."

The jingling of a bell could be heard as Guy entered the shop. He welcomed the warmth and actually allowed himself a small smile.
It had been a rough couple of weeks, and the stallion felt it was time to treat himself. Eyeing all of the choices he had to pick from, it became obvious to him why mares went on chocolate binges.
Mentally chuckling he continued to browse around quietly, not giving much thought to his surroundings. That was, of course, until his gaze fell upon Aloha Pearl. .....Wow.
Green eyes danced with curiosity. It was obvious that she wasn't from around here, which only fueled his interest. Delivering himself a mental slap, he looked away. Staring wasn't exactly a polite thing to do.

"Hello there," Sparx welcomed the newcomer, "Can I help you?"

Aloha took a glance at the stallion who walked in just a short bit after her and gave him a polite smile and nod as a hello. She was still waiting for the hot cocoa to cool down a little, and browsing the chocolates in the process - she certainly wouldn't come away empty-handed.
One thing that was familiar from home: chocolate. They grew Cocoa trees in Jadus, and had all the hoofmade candy you could dream of. Her favorite was chocolate-dipped pineapple. Sure, it didn't sound very appetizing, but the combonation of extremely sweet with just the little bit of tart was perfect for a warm day's snack, and probably a cold day's too.

Another smile crept its way across his mouth as Aloha Pearl smiled back at him. As soon as he had realized how he was reacting, the smile turned into a frown. It was an unconscious habit that had been formed during his childhood.
As Sparx spoke to him, he gave her a blank stare. For a moment, he remained silent. Then, tilting his head, he asked, "What would you recommend?"

Sparx felt funny saying the same thing over again, but she relented anyway. "There's a two for one sale going on. Buy one box of milk chocolates, and get another box of assorted free. Or, there's the egg nog cremes..." Sparx said, noting one of her personal favorites. She wasn't sure if he was an egg nog kind of pony, but it was in season. She gave him a small smile and hoped she had helped. She began wondering if she should offer Aloha Pearl an ice cube for her hot cocoa....

Rose took the form in hoof and grabbed a pen from off the counter.
Name? Strawberry Brandy.... Rainbow on High?! Does she even have a last name?! Ummm....next blank! Address? 27394 Cranbrook, Dream Valley
Rose handed the recipiant filled form to Sparks as she heard her mention the eggnog chocolates. Instantly her nose crinkled up in distaste. Despite she loved the holidays, she wasn't a fan of the drink. And to her own mind logic, eggnog, a variable she didn't like, plus chocolate, a variable she did like (eggnog+chocolate) resulted in the sum of 'ain't gonna happen'.
With the order taken care of, she turned to the shelves and picked up the boxes of milk chocolates and asorted chocolates. And just for a little extra treat, she picked up a box of chocolate dipped raspberries. With all this chocolate I'm all ready feeling better.
Turning to Pearl, a thought had hit Rose's mind, something that she couldn't resist in asking. "If you don't mind my asking, where are you from? And what sorts of flowers grow there?" Perhaps a bit of Caribean greenary would add spice to some of her floral arrangements.

Sparx took the filled out form Rose handed her and glanced at the information. She clipped the form to some other papers so she wouldn't lose it, and turned back to her customers.

Aloha turned to Rose as she spoke. "Flowers mon? We hay de most beautiful flowers in de world! I'm from Jadus (ooc: where Milly is....), an we hay so many flowers I couldn't name dem all mon. We hay roses, an hibiscus, an de torchflower (which is our national flower an so beautiful, mon), an so many more you wouldnt belive you eyes mon!"
Aloha gave a large smile to the stranger before quickly turning her gaze to the stallion that had been looking at her earlier.

Guy leaned aback against a nearby counter and thought over his options. He was about to answer the orange mare when her attention was turned towards Rose. And then, of course, his attention was drawn back to the Jadus native. Her accent was so thick that it shocked him. In a good way, that is.
As the mare's eyes turned on him, he smiled mischievously. Chuckling softly to himself, he looked at Sparx. "That eggnog deal sounds pretty good."

"Comin' right up," Sparx said, though slightly distracted by Pearl's heavy accent. She shook her head and reached behind the counter to grab a box of candies for Guy. "Here you go," she said, smiling at the stallion. She looked back at Pearl. They wouldn't make a half bad couple, she thought to herself, but said not a word.

"Torchflowers?," Rose asked intrigued. Her imagination painted vivid reds, yellow, and oranges at the name. She would remember that name and search the Internet for some images. If she liked what she saw, well she'd just import the seeds through work. That is, if she actually would show up to work.

Sweet Berry strode in, licking her lips. Confectionary shops were the best! She looked around for something to ease her sweet tooth.

Guy gave in and smiled at Sparx. Almost immediately, his cold appearance softened. "Excellent. Thanks." Turning his head towards Rose and Aloha Pearl. It wasn't the talk of flowers that interested him, it was the talk about Jadus. He had heard of the island, but knew nothing about it. You're staring again...Shaking his head, he looked at the orange mare in front of him. "I hate to bother you, but is there anything else I should maybe take a look at?" Green eyes traveled from the box of chocolates in his hoof, up into Sparx's eyes. [OOC: That sucked. Sorry. lol ]
