The dark purple unicorn wandered around endlessly. Everything was so different and new to him. He had never seen so many ponies before in his whole life, and the fact that he was no longer in his safe, peaceful little forest started to make him feel uneasy.
Silver Shadow stopped and looked around. "I'm sure I've been here before... "He thought to himself as he looked around curiously. "... Perhaps ten minutes ago? I'm probably lost now"
He sighed heavily, hoping that he will meet someone who knew the town well...

Rootbeer Float saored threw the air, letting the light breeze play with her hair. She looked around, all the street lights were on, and even most of the lights in the shops, and homes, except hers. She had took a longer break than anticipated, and Rootsie Tootsie's Ice Cream Shoppe would suffer. Infront of her shop's walk-way stood a dark purple horned stallion. She landed softly away from her store, her hoove's clattered on the cobblestone road.
'He's cute.' She thought to herself as she approached her store. 'But, he looks suspicious..' Rootbeer Float walked up to the stallion. 'Or, maybe he's just lost.' Rootbeer Float cleared her throat.
"Hi."

Silver Shadow turned quickly and froze when he saw the other pony. "She-she actually spoke to me..." He thought. His first thought was to run for it, but something about her made him stay where he was. "Now's your chance..." said a voice in the back of his head. Silver Shadow smiled slightly and relaxed.
"Hello." He said calmly. "Do you happen to know the name of this particular area?"

Rootbeer Float's chocolate fur turned bright red. She didn't know what to say. Of course she knew what this place was, she grew up playing here, but for a few seconds, she just froze.
"PONYVILLE!" She screamed. She didn't mean to, she was nervous, and as red as a fire engine. "Oh, erm, sorry.." She said while hidding her face. She coughed and thought to herself; 'Yeah, great way to meet somebody, scare him off. Why am I even scared!?'. "Heh, I'm sorry for yelling." Rootbeer Float reached out a hoove.
"My name's Rootbeer Float, but you can call me Rootie." She smiled and thought to herself, 'How many guys am I gonna let call me Rootie!?'. "This..This is Ponyville, and that's my shop." She said while gesturing towards Rootsie Tootsie's Ice Cream Shoppe.
"Are you lost?"

Silver Shadow had the feeling that his face was turning red. "Now you've done it." he thought bitterly. He didn't what to tell her that he was lost, but he didn't like the idea of lying to her. This was his chance at making a new friend.
"Its a pleasure to meet you, err, Rootie. My name is Silver Shadow." He said awkwardly, his voice sligthly shaking. "And yes, I'm lost. I'm new in town and I didn't know it was called Ponyville..." He tried to arrange a smile, but failed.
"I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. I have never spoken to another pony before..." Silver Shadow backed away a bit. He knew it was hopeless. If he scared her, no doubt he would scare everyone else who lived in Ponyville.
"I'm sorry if my presence disturbs you. I will leave you alone if you wish me to do so..." he said quickly.

'First pony?' She thought to herself.
"Oh, no, don't fret! It's fine, I'd be nervous if I was in your situation." She giggled. "Come into my store, and I'll make you something to eat, kay?"
She said gesturing towards the front door. 'I'll also tie you up and keep you as my love slave.' She thought to herself, and then shook her head in disbelief as to what she just thought.

"Oh, ok" He replied. Although he didn't want to cause any trouble for her, he also didn't feel like leaving so soon. "I'd like to visit your store." Silver Shadow smiled at Rootie. For as long as he could remember, he had never seen another pony up close before, and he had just realised how lovely Rootie was. He started to feel more relaxed and hoped that the other ponies were just as kind and understanding as Rootie.
"So how long have you lived in Ponyville?"

Rootbeer Float smiled, and walked up to the door, unlocking, and opening it. She flicked on the light, and galloped into the room. "I've lived in Ponyville all my life, started running my store, about three years ago."
Rootie walked over behind the register and into the kitchen. She came out of the kitchen flapping her wings, flying, and holding onto to plates with her front hooves. "Where have you lived? Dream Valley?..Or Friendship Gardens?" She smilled and set the plates on a nearby table.
"Sit." She said with a gentle smile. "What would you like to eat?" She asked as she landed softly on the floor. She flapped her wings once more, but not to fly, only to re-adjust them, and then she placed them by her side.

He curiously followed the winged mare into the ice cream shop. Sitting on the offered seat and thanking her quietly, he continued to study his new surroundings before turning his attention back to Rootie.
"I live in a treehouse in the forest outside of Ponyville and the other places you mentioned." he said softly. He smiled gently, as an image of his peaceful home appeared in his mind. "I have lived there for as long as I can remember. I don't really intend to stay in Ponyville, but I guess it is a pleasant place to visit." The image of his home disappeared, but he continued to smile.
"You called this store an "ice cream" shop. I would like to try some icecream, please. As long as it isn't too much trouble for you." he said politely, but softly still.

Rootbeer Float smiled. "Alright. What would you like?" She said with a giggle. Then her eyes flickered with excitement. "No, even better, I'll give you my specialty!" She giggled and ran to the back. She was in the back for less than a minute.
When she came back she had a mug, with ice cream to the top. "Here you go," She said as she sat it on the table. "it's a Rootbeer Float. My personal favorite, and my specialty. I used vanilla ice cream." She smiled and put a spoon and a pink straw next to his mug. She giggled once more, and turned to her right side. She flashed her cutie mark.
"Don't they look so much alike?"
((OOC: Lol, if you didn't know, Rootbeer Float's symbol is a mug with vanilla ice cream at the top, and rootbeer in the mug, with a hot pink straw sticking out.^_^))

((ooc: Oh ok. I think I read it somewhere ^-^ but I admit that I'm not quite sure what rootbeer is. Is it a type of drink with herbs in it?))
"Yes, they do look alike!" he said smiling. The fact that she had a marking which looked much like the mug with the ice cream surprised him, and he realised that she had called it a Rootbeer Float, which was her name. "That could explain why I have a marking too, then." he thought to himself. His marking was a silver crescent moon surrounded by stars of the same colour, which were also on his right. His marking never meant much to him; he didn't understand its importance.
Silver Shadow picked up the pink straw and placed it into the vanilla ice cream. All a sudden, he realised he wasn't sure how the straw was meant to work (he has never used one before!). But by following what he had saw earlier at a cafe, he slowly took a sip out of the part of the straw which was sticking out.
His silvery eyes sparkled just as he had his first taste of the rootbeer float. "This... this is absolutely fantastic! Never have I tasted anything so wonderful!" He said, unable to control his delight. Smiling at Rootie, he took another long sip, savouring the taste which was too good to be true.

((OOC: You've never had Rootbeer before? Are you not in the states? It's kind of hard to explain, it has a unusual taste, but I guess you could compare it to chocolate.))
Rootbeer Float giggled, and jumped up in the air doing a back flip. "I'm glad you like it!" She smiled longily. "You're cutie mark is very pretty, by the way." Rootbeer Float smiled as she went into the back.
She came back out with a plate, with some kind of dessert on it. "Here's some cheese cake..It goes really good with coffee.." Rootie said as she flew over behind the cash register, on the very top shelf. She looked down at Silver Shadow. "It goes exspecially great with Irish Creme coffee." She said smilling as she flew into the kitchen to put some water onto boil. She came flying back out, and landed next to Silver Shadow.
"Now, tell me about your home..And why have you come here to Ponyville?"

((occ: No. Never heard of rootbeer until now, and I live nowhere near america. If its similar to chocolate, then there's a good chance I'll like it ^-^ ))
Silver Shadow smiled. "Thank you" he said softly.
He looked at the Cheese Cake curiously. Something else he had never seen before, but it looked tasty. Picking up the fork, he delicately sliced a little bit off and tried it. "Delicious." He said as he sliced off another bit of the cake happily.
"I think my home is very far away from Ponyville. As I said earlier, it is a treehouse, by a river and waterfall surrounded by the gardens I planted there when I was very young. It is in a very old forest, which many seen to avoid. I don't think any one here has heard of it because I never saw any ponies there... well, while I was awake anyway." Silver Shadow frowned. "Why I came to Ponyville... I don't know why I came here. I probably did know why before, but now I've forgotten." He shook his head. "I've been forgetting alot of things lately. And I don't know why..." He continued to drink his drink quietly.
"Running a store must be alot of hard work." He said in a much cheerful tone after a short while. "Do you work with someone else?"

Rootbeer Float smiled and gave a wink. "I wouldn't be able to run this store by myself." She smiled once more. "My best friend Irish Creme helps me run the place." She trotted over to the door and locked it. "But we're always looking for more help." She gave a wink.
"By the way, do you have a place to stay tonight?"

"No, I don't actually." Silver Shadow wondered why he didn't think about it before. "But I'm alright with wandering around the forests around Ponyville tonight. It looks lovely out there, and the night air will do me good."
He had just finished the cake and the last of the rootbeer float. He bowed his head and smiled at Rootbeer Float. "I thank you for the Cheese cake and The rootbeer float. I wish there was a way I could repay you..." He paused for a moment. He didn't know who it was or what it was but he knew something wasn't right. He reluctantly ingored the thought.
"Is there anything I can do for you perhaps?"
