The three fillies trotted on to the next house with their absolutely fabulous sequin chocolate bar carrying bags. "We got this in the bag this time! Get it! In the bag?! Because we bought better... bags..." Sweetie Belle thought out loud. Apple Bloom facehoofed before knocking on the door.
The door was answered by the same blonde, grey pegasus who delivered the mail that morning. She looked at the three cute fillies with her left eye, while her right eye had its own plans. "Hello, girls. How can I help you?"
"Hey, Derpy. We were wondering if you wanted to buy some of our chocolate bars!" announced Sweetie Belle as she held out one of the chocolate bars in its fashionable carrying case.
"Ooooohhhh... shiney..." Derpy's left eye got lost in the bag as her right eye got lost in some pretty balloons in the background.
"Umm, it's the chocolate we're selling, not the bags. They're kind of just part of the deal," said Scootaloo as she awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck.
"Oh, sorry girls, I'm a little low on bits today. I just spent my last paycheck on some of Mrs. Cake's blueberry muffins!" She pulled out a basket of muffins, fresh from the bakery. "You can have one for a bit."
Scootaloo held out ten bits. "I'll take ten!"
The cutie mark crusaders decided to take a break and get some milkshakes at Sugarcube Corner.
"Girls, I can't help but think we're getting a teensy bit... distracted," proclaimed Apple Bloom as she rested her head on her foreleg, which was resting on the table.
"Mmmmf, wha?" muffled Scootaloo, through her muffin.
"I'd have to agree," Sweetie Belle said before sipping her chocolate milkshake, "we haven't made a single sale all day. In fact, those last three ponies sold US stuff!"
"Maybe we're coming at this from the wrong direction." Apple Bloom fidgeted with her straw. " How did the other ponies get us to buy their stuff?"
"They made us feel special," mumbled Scootaloo, through a new muffin.
"Yeah, they did..." Sweetie Belle's eyes shot open. "I'm going to go buy more bags!"
"NO!" yelled Apple Bloom at her ignorant friend. "We should try being nice. You know, really 'butter' ponies up to get them into a sale, like those bag salesponies did."
"Oh, I get ya!" Scootaloo stated as she finished up her most recent muffin.
Sweetie Belle started rubbing her chin with her hoof. "you know, that just might work..."
The three paid for their drinks and left Sugarcube Corner with their wagon of sweets, ready to take on the next customer.
