It all started with a bouquet

Chapter one

Author's Note:

This is a bit of what was happening while Tinted Dawn was in the Factory...

“Hey, Paper Lily. Are you here?” Tinted Dawn said into a room full of origami.

“Yea, I’m here,” A white mare called out. “Watcha need dawn?”

Dawn stepped into the room looking at all the origami.

“I actually don’t know quite yet. Any ideas on what to give to somepony special?” Dawn asked as she looked at a chain of paper cranes.

“Oh, look who has a coltfriend,” the mare teased.

“Paper Lily, just tell me an idea,” Dawn said rolling her eyes.

“Well what is he like? No handsome etc. That doesn’t help me” Paper said

“He is a unicorn, black coat, deep blue mane and tail with turquoise highlights, Oh and peacock green eyes,” dawn said walking up to the white mare

“You are dating a unicorn. Don’t you think that’s strange for a Pegasus like you?” paper giggled

“Just throw an idea at me.” Dawn said blushing

Paper threw a stack of origami paper at dawn, exploding on contact

They both laughed as they cleaned up the paper.

‘Wow, she must really like him if she came to me for a gift, I should do an oceanic bouquet of lilies’ Paper thought

“Well I wanted do a bunch of flowers; but unfortunately both my hoofs and wings wont fold the paper correctly, and I have gone through nearly 200 sheets of paper” Dawn said grabbing her crude lily from her wing, showing paper.

“I can see why you came to me,” Paper said inspecting the crude flower.

‘It’s like she read my mind, how did she know that I would make flowers?’ Paper thought.

“Hmm, I can do an oceanic theme of lilies for you, with the occasional black one.”

“Sweet, that sounds perfect!” dawn exclaimed doing a flip in the air

“When will you be able to start?” dawn asked

“Right now, I just finished a chain of cranes” Paper said.

“And how many bits will it be?” dawn asked taking a small bag of bits out.

‘Hmm, about 200 flowers, 2 weeks min.’ Lily thought “how about 25? It will take about 2 weeks, minimum.”

“You sure, I know you do lots of them, plus all the work; you sure you don’t need more?” Dawn said forking over 25 bits

“Nah 25 pays for the paper used and the time used.” Paper said drawing nonsense in the air with her hoof, as dawn exited the store

“Great, see you in a few weeks Dawn!” Lily said waving as Dawn flew out the door.

“Let’s begin” Paper said levitating a large stack of blues and a small stack of black, Before rushing into the back room to begin the work of a few weeks…
