Mint and her mother, Snow Flurry, went to the local store to buy a dress for the Summer Sun Dance. Mint, who was obviously excited, had her tail going at full speed. Surprisingly, it hit no pony, which was a huge relief!
"What do you think of this one sweetheart?" Snow said, looking at a peticularly shiny white and rose dress. It had a collar that was lined with diamonds and sapphires. The dress itself shined with the amount if sequins on it. It was rather short for Mint's taste and would make her look like a disco ball on the dance floor.
"Um...no. Let's keep looking, okay?"
"Alright, alright. Oooo! What about this one! Or this one!" Her mother kept going to all the dresses on the right of the store. Mint smiled and roed her eyes as she wandered to the left.
"Hello, miss! Everything alright?" asked a somewhat British sounding voice from behind Mint.
"Oh, um...I guess not actually. Do you mind helping me?" Mint asked, turning to look towards the mare who had spoken. It was a light pink unicorn. She had curly bouncy hair in a shade of pearl white and her cutie mark was of that particular gem. A white pearl with a slight twinkle in it and a shiny thread and needle going through the center from the side. A stallion of the same size came from behind. He had a similar mane color and style, but his coat was of a grey hue with a hing of blue. His cutie mark was an exact replica of the mare's cutie mark, except the pearl was black.
"Alright, what are you looking to find?" asked the stallion.
"Twins? Never seen twins before..." Mint thought to herself. She grinned and responded in a kind tone. "I'm looking for a dress of a sort of winter-y type, but with a bit of a sunrise or summer-y look, y'know?"
"Exactly! You need a polar feel while still being set for the Summer Sun Dance!" chimed the twins in unison. Their opposing eyes of white and black beamed at Mint, making her slightly uncomfortable, but she went along and gave an awkward smile of her own. "Yes, exactly what I need..."
"Follow me! We have a dress that I believe you'd be interested in!" the pink mare stated.
"No follow me! I have a great dress over here!" the stallion said, beckoning Mint to join him.
"Oh come on Onyx! Let me handle this customer!!"
"I think we discussed this last time, Pearl! You said that I could do this one, remember!"
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"Just flip a coin for Pete's sake you two!" Mint yelled, a bit louder than intended. The twins were taken aback by the monster pony's sudden outburst and stared at her dumbfounded.
After a moment or two the mare, Pearl, spoke up. "I..um...guess you're right. Let's flip a coin shall we, Onyx?"
"We shall! I have one."
"I call heads!" Pearl said.
"Aw man! Okay then!" Onyx said back, starting to toss the golden bit into the air.
"Heads! YES!" Pearl exclaimed, jumping in a small circle.
"Dratts!! Alright Pearl, I'll take care of the counter here," Onyx said reluctantly.
"Ok, here's the dress I have just been dieing to show case!" Pearl said, still quite giddy from the previous event.
"Here it is! Winter Sun Couture! I hope you are pleased with it!"
