11. Ice cream delivery with Preena Penguin

On a warm summer day, Sunset Shimmer walks down the street, enjoying an ice cream cone. After finishing her treat, she uses a napkin to wipe her hands clean. She then comes to a place that stores ice cream.
“If Pinkie was here,” Sunset said to herself, “she would eat enough ice cream to have brain freeze for a month."
“You there!” A male voice calls out.
Sunset saw a light blue skinned man with light gray spiky hair, wearing a blue long sleeve shirt, gray slacks, and brown boots come out.
“Are you talking to me?” Sunset asked.
“You bet!” The man replied. “My name is Arctic Breeze, and I’m in charge of this ice cream storage plant.”
“What can I do for you, Mr. Breeze?”
Sunset is given an explanation. “My regular driver is out with a twisted ankle. So, I asked a substitute driver to make a delivery to the home of Filthy Rich. It’s his and his wife’s wedding anniversary.”
“Wow! It’s that time already. So, where do I come in?”
“This driver is new to Canterlot City. I’m looking for a guide to help her. You live in this town. Maybe you can help.”
Sunset is surprised to hear the story. She then, made a decision. “Arctic Breeze, you got a deal.”
Arctic lead Sunset to the truck that’s delivering the ice cream. Arctic calls out to somebody. “I have a guide to help you, Preena.”
“Preena?” Sunset wondered.
Just then, a white skinned girl with puffy black hair, and a yellow nose came out. She wore a black shirt, blue jeans, and orange sneakers. Sunset was shocked to see this girl. “Of course. Preena Penguin.”
“Sunset Shimmer!” Preena called out. “This is a surprise.”
Sunset went up to meet the young ice maiden.
“You were called in to help?” Sunset asked.
“I sure am.” Preena answered. “I was just passing by here when Arctic Breeze called me over and told me of the situation. I couldn’t help but be of help.”
“That’s right. You drive an ice cream truck at Everwilde.”
“That’s right. So, driving a truck like this is an honor for us.”
Sunset raised an eyebrow. “Us?”
A little penguin crawled out of the truck and squawked happily to Sunset.
“Oh yeah.” Sunset realized. “Your partner: Jayla.”
Arctic turned to the girls. “You guys ready to go?”
“Yes, Sir.” Sunset and Preena said together.
“Good. Ice cream is loaded up. Time to roll.”
Preena and Sunset got into the truck, with Preena driving. Soon, they were on their way. As the truck rolled, Sunset pointed out locations to Preena, helping her know her way around town. Soon, they arrived at the mansion of Filthy and Spoiled Rich. Their daughter, Diamond Tiara called to her parents when she saw the truck.
“Mother! Father!” Diamond called out. “The ice cream delivery is here!”
Filthy and Spoiled came out and saw the truck. Spoiled saw the driver, and talked with her.
“Preena Penguin.” Spoiled said. “You made it.”
“That I did.” Preena replied.
“Was it hard to find your way around town?”
“Not when you have a good guide.”
Preena pointed to Sunset as Filthy came along.
“Hello, Miss Shimmer.” Filthy greeted. “Nice of you to be here.”
“Well,” Sunset explained, “Preena needed a guide. Fortunately, I was available.”
Faithful servants took the ice cream delivery into the house as the family thanked Preena and Sunset.
“Thank you for your assistance, Miss Penguin.” Filthy said as he handed her a check for the ice cream.
“You’re welcome, Sir.” Preena replied as she puts the check in an envelope. “Let Mr. Breeze know if you need any more ice cream, and he’ll oblige.”
“We will. Take care, ladies.”
The girls soon drove off and headed back to the storage plant. Sunset and Preena high fived each other as Jayla squawked happily.
