If Sunny was really, really honest with herself, she almost didn't open her smoothie cart today. Getting a new place to live and getting four ponies out of Hitch's two bedroom house had been the two problems that had been stressing her out the most, and they had magically vanished overnight.
Of course, that brought new problems to the forefront, such as getting her new lighthouse furnished. Plus there was the biggest building in town that she now owned and had no idea what to do with.
As much as she wanted to be there with her friends for their shopping spree, she did like keeping her schedule, especially when business was booming, and the Maretime Bay regulars combined with the new tourists wanted to patronize one of the unifiers of Equestria. In which case, Monday and Tuesday, her regular days off, couldn't get here soon enough.
The last customer of the latest rush trotted off, slurping away at their beverage, and Sunny saw Pipp come up with a shopping bag over her shoulder.
"Hey there, Pipp. Things going okay at the lighthouse?" She asked the pegasus.
"Yep. That's actually one of several reasons why I'm here," Pipp began, reaching into her saddlebags, and came out with a file folder which she placed on the serving counter.
"Inspector just finished. I believe he was being quite literal when he said he's never seen a structure appear out of thin air and magically be up to code. But it's all set; roof, foundation, plumbing, electrical, heating, and air conditioning; everything is perfect."
"That's great news. I'm thrilled that you were able to get an appointment with him on such short notice," Sunny said as she took the folder and slid it into her saddlebags under the counter. "So Zipp and Izzy are out shopping, I take it?"
"Beds first. Which brings me to reason number two for my visit," Pipp continued, reaching into her shopping bag, and came out with a small rectangular box that was barely bigger than her hoof. "It's been all set up and everything, so if we find something we think you'll like, we can show you before we buy it. After all, it's your house," Pipp said, setting the box down on the counter.
Sunny took the box in her hooves, and pulled the top off, and her eyes widened as she looked down at a brand new smartphone.
"The first shipment just came in from Z-Mobile, I've taken the liberty of setting up all my friends' accounts. Everypony's numbers are already in your contacts," Pipp told her.
Pipp had taken the liberty of getting the phone fitted with a case that had an attachment on the back that made holding it incredibly easy.
"Um, wow, Pipp. I don't know what to say. I hope I have enough spare time to learn all the ins and outs of this. Thank you so much. I'm almost afraid to ask if there's anything else," Sunny told her, setting the phone to the side, where she could keep an eye on it, but where it wouldn't have much of a chance of getting anything spilled on it.
"Actually, there is, one last thing," Pipp said, reaching into her saddlebags again and came out with another file folder, and opened it, showing Sunny what looked like a deed, similar to the one that had signed over CanterLogic to her. "You're looking at the owner of the empty corner shop down the block. I'm opening a combination karaoke bar and beauty salon!"
"Oh wow, well, congratulations!" Sunny told her. "When do you open?" Sunny asked.
"As soon as I can, but don't worry, I'm saving some of my spare time to get that lighthouse livable as well. I'm hoping to get Mane Melody up and running in a matter of weeks!"
Sunny quickly put the ingredients of her friend's favorite smoothie into the blender, and soon slid a full cup with a straw over to the pegasus.
"Well, here's to Mane Melody!"
