Chapter #3 Helpful Hoof

A few weeks go by and spring takes hold of Ponyville and it's plant life and animal life, Ninroot figured that this would be the perfect time to start her plant selling business, the only problem was she did not have a place to start her business so Techie took it upon himself to build Ninroot a shop near the middle of town so he went to the mayor's office to propose the business idea, he was denied and was told not to go out of the mayors word this time like he did with his cabin, but he politely told her

"Your a real stiff you know that!" said a curse word to her in sign language and stormed out. Since he did it before he built the shop like he built his cabin with wood from the forest and out of the mayor's sight. After he was finished he led Ninroot to the place he built the shop and when she saw it she gasped and and kissed Techie right on his cheek, his whole face turned bright red with blush, as Ninroot rushed into the shop Techie was still standing there frozen in place with the same expression he had from the kiss.

"Uh-uh uh d- do you like it?" he stuttered breaking the awkward silence.

"Do I like it!? I love it!!" Ninroot shouted. Afterwards they stocked up the shop with her plants and herbs and opened it for business.

That night Ninroot would not stop thanking Techie until he had to say "Ok your welcome! Now stop!" he yelled jokingly, But Ninroot's final thank you was put into an amazing dinner that she made for Techie. With appetites satisfied they both went to bed in their rooms but did no sleep Techie said to himself "Whoa I got a kiss...from a girl, I wonder if she feels the same about me like how I feel about her?"

In Ninroot's room she was saying "Wow, Techie is really nice for making my shop for me, and without the mayor's permission as well. Oh I can't believe I'm saying this but..." She thought for a moment "I think I- I love him." As she was hugging one of her pillows she then shook her head and said "No, I'm only here for business." But then said "But my business wouldn't even be possible without him. I wonder if he feels the same about me?" After that night the next day was a bit awkward since they both wanted to ask the same question "Do you feel the same way I feel about you?" Later on in the day Techie was helping Ninroot with the shop until Twilight came in with a rolled up scroll.

Techie went up to her and asked what she was doing here and she said "Ponies have been telling me you've built an illegal business not approved by the mayor so I'm here to let you know you have-"

Techie stopped her in the middle of her sentence and said "Whoa hold on the mayor has a problem with this place being here? Why
isn't she feeling the same way about my cabin?

Twilight then answered "Because you'r cabin is out of the way of the town and is not causing much space to be taken. Look I'm
sorry but you have to close down."

Ninroot then said "No you can't make us close down! We just started!"

"Besides" Techie added "If the mayor had a problem with it why didn't she send any guards or any police or whatever authorities of the law this place uses?"

Then Twilight answered "Because the mayor thought I would be the only one you would listen to."

Then Techie walked towards Twilight with a scowl on his face and said in a quiet but firm voice "Look Twi, I don't want to have to raise my voice at you but if I have to I will"

Then Twilight said "Look I'm just here to deliver the message, I don't want any trouble."

"Let me see it!" Techie said

"What?" Replied Twilight

"Let me see the scroll. Now!" Techie snatches the scroll from Twilight and starts to read and as he reads he gets a real angry expression on his face and looks at Twilight.

"The mayor huh, Okay if its from the mayor, then why does her signature look different?" Techie shows Twilight the scroll, "See that?" Techie points to the signature "She doesn't drag the last line in the last letter of her name to make it look like Eutemia instead she uses Aguafina Script. Not Eutemia!!" He yells then forces Twilight out of the shop and saying "Get out! Get out of this shop or I'll kick you out!" As he yells his threats with some cursing mixed in he forces Twilight out of the shop and slams the door. When he turns around he saw Ninroot looking at him with a surprised expression. "Look I'm sorry you had to see that" he said in a shy voice.

Then Ninroot said "I never thought you would get angry at your friends for me, in fact I wouldn't think you would defend me at all."

After what she said Techie walked towards her and said "Of course I would defend your work and you for that matter, that's what
friends do right? A-are we friends?"

Ninroot looked at Techie with a small yet noticeable smirk and said "More than just friends." As she said that both her and Techie go in for a kiss.

When done Techie joked "So does this mean..."

Ninroot added "Yes, yes it does."
