"We shall mon!" Aloha laughed and put her forehoof around his as they walked out the door (anthro style, because trying to imagine them walking on all fours with their hoofs intwined is just too weird ) (continued at the Cafe')

Sparx looked over to the newcomers. "Hello there!" she said, "Sure, everyone calls me Sparx." Then she quickly turned back to the red mare at the counter. "Are you okay Rose?" she asked with concern.

Sister Swirl grinned at Crystal. What a difference a little bit of hope made. Once again she was really glad she had joined The Sisters in order to help people. It seemed like she and Crystal could even be friends one day, and a new friend was also always something to be thankful for.
"I like the swirly strawberry kind. Guess I'm predictable! How about you?"

"Dark chocolate!" She looked down at her dark pelt. "Guess I'm a little unpredictable as well!" She walked up to the counter. "Your finest swirly strawberry kind, please! And some dark chocolate for me." She looked down at all of the chocolates behind the counter. "It must be fun working in a chocolate shop!"

(Erm, I wasn't crying, but <_< oh well)
Rose blinked a moment, realizing that her change in mood was somewhat obvious. Feeling as if everyone was looking at her, she forced out a nervous chuckle. "Oh well, you know. Just caught up with thinking about that big battle at the castle. But's nothing, I'm good.," she lied, forcing her mouth to form a smile.
She began to fumble through her purse with shaky forelegs searching for change. "Opp," she muttered, when the purse slipped from her grasp. At that she forced another laugh, this time not as fake. She bent down to pick the purse back up," Yeah, but things are fine."
What Rose hadn't counted on was how well she shown bent in the position she was in. It hadn't crossed her mind either.
Looking back at the counter she placed a couple waded bills of multi colored money. "I think that covers it," she smiled forcefully again.
(ooc: Erm, on the colored money situation. I know in the US that the paper money is green, but in most other countries there's different colors. I figured it'd make more sence to go with the majority of what countries did and describe the money as being more than one color.)

(I know, but Rose was upset so ya know)
"Yeah, I try not to think about it too often," Sparx smiled back, obviously fooled by Rose Rebellion's lie. She reached into the display and grabbed a box of Strawberry Twists (or swirly strawberries) and a box of dark chocolates for Strawberry Swirl and Crystal. "Here you go," she handed the two mares their chocolates. "Well, from what I've experienced so far, it is fun working at a chocolate shop!" she answered to Crystal's comment. Let's hope it stays that way, Sparx said silently to herself.

"Well, chocolate can raise anyone's spirits, even if it takes a little while" Swirl said as an aside, thinking of Rose.
"Say Sparkleworks, when you're not so busy could I ask you some quick questions please?" Swirl smiled wide at Sparx, that ooooohed appreciatevly at the aromatic chocolates. "Those look so good!"

"Thanks." Crystal said appreciatively to Sparx. She gave the strawberry chocolates to Swirl, and smiled. "Thanks again for lightening me up. Nobody likes a grump. And I'm sure there's more chance of me finding Delta now that I'm more happy and determined to find her." She waited till Swirl had finished talking first, then asked Sparx if she had seen Delta.

"Your welcome," Sparx said to Crystal. Turning to Sister Swirl she replied, "Sure thing! Ask away, I've got time." She couldln't believe what a great day this was turning out to be. She had something that she was thankful for; a job that she loved! "Delta?" the orange mare asked, "I can't say I've ever heard of her. Could you describe her to me?"

"She has beautiful light blue hair, a white pelt, and she's a pegasus. Her symbol is a snowflake."

"No, I'm sorry. I don't think I've ever seen a mare like that before," Sparx shook her head apologetically, "Say, how long has she been missing?"

Crystal went a bit queit. "Years. Too long for comfort." She hid her face behind her mane for a moment as she shed a tear, and when she came up again she was smiling. "I'm sure I'll find her.

"Oh I didn't know- I mean I thought..." Sparx didn't know what to say. She hadn't expected Crystal to reply with an answer like that. The candy shop owner had figured it had been a few days maybe, but never that long. "Have you searched other towns? Do you remember the last time you saw her or who she was with before she...disappeared?" Sparx wanted to help look for Delta, but she didn't know where to start. Maybe somehow the white mare was in Dream Valley or that other place...what was it called again? She shook her head. All she knew was that it started with an F.

"Yes, I'm sure we'll find her. There's a whole town that's about to be on your side, after all. If there's any news, you'll get it." Swirl smiled encouragingly, then nudged the dark chocolates towards Crystal.
"Say..Sparx..these candies look wonderful. I was just wondering if you had any damaged boxes or anything of that sort? Candies that are still perfectly good, but not exactly fit to sell? I know the homeless ponies at the Nursery would love them, and if you were so kind as to donate them I'd love to put up posters for your store."

Sparx's mood changed quickly as Swirl mentioned donating to the nursery. Her ears perked up with glee. She loved making others happy.I wonder if I have any extras, she thought curiously. "I think I've got just the thing Swirl!" Sparx smiled. The orange pony bustled around below the counter for a while, opening various cabinet doors. She reappeared, holding a medium sized crate. She set it onto the counter and said, "I don't see wh-" she paused and slid the crate over so she could see her customers. Clearing her throat she continued. "I don't see what's wrong with these ones," she said, nodding to the box, "But the place I order from sent these and they were labeled that they were not fit to sell because of minor flaws. Stuff like a box might have gotten a little crushed or a few milk chocolates in a white chocolate box-that kind of thing."
