Amber stepped in and flipped the sign again. "Alrighty", she said, opening up the scroll Kenshin had given her. "Let's see what we got here..."

Nova peered at the scroll. "Fifty jumping jacks, followed by twenty push-ups........."
She looked at Amber, suddenly confused. "What's a Jumping-Jack?"

Amber sighed. She wasn't frustrated by Nova, but had the pony already known how to do the excercises the mare had been planning on having some excuse to not do them.
But now she silently began the excercise, knowing Nova would follow her lead.

"Oh! I get it......"
Nova began the jumping jacks, counting slowly. "One.......Two......."

Amber did them faster, not counting. Maybe she could get away with less than necessary...

Nova strained to keep up with Amber, but still counted at her same slow pace. "Three.......... four........"

Amber felt guilty and slowed down, resigning herself to Nova's pace. When at last they reached fifty she collapsed on the floor of the salon. "Whoo - I do declare, that was quite the workout. How's about we wait a little bit before we do the push-ups, darlin'?"

Amber narrowed her eyes at Rainbow Glitter. Could she not tell she wasn't welcomed in this shop? "Nova Luna and I were practicing our fighting moves. She's busy right now." ((And...let the verbal tug-o-war begin! ))

"Rainbow?"
Nova turned back to Amber worriedly. "Is she okay?"

"Does it matter?", Amber asked with narrowed eyes. Then she got up and began her push-ups. "One...two...three..."

"Uh..... I guess not." Nova's head spun. Didn't it matter if someone was okay or not? She blinked, resigning to the idea that this world was strange and she'd better just go along with it. With that, she knelt beside Amber and began doing push-ups.
She hadn't done more than one, however, when her legs trembled and she fell to the ground. "Amber...... I can't do it!"

Amberlocks looked up at Nova. "Well, that's why we're practicin'!" Then she realized that as far as she knew, Nova hadn't had a bite to eat since she'd arrived. "My word, darlin - you must be starved!" She opened up the register and pulled out some money, handing it to Nova. "Well, then, why don't ya trot on down to the Cotton Candy Cafe and get yourself somethin' to eat? I'll stay here and watch the Salon."
She moved over to the window, pointing to the Cafe down the street so Nova Luna would know her way. She felt terrible - the young pony must have been exhausted from lack of nourishment.

Amber paused and looked around. "The filly never followed! Wait right here, darlin' - I'll be back before ya can say 'barrette'!"
