A Snooty Baker's Tale

Setting Up Shop

Author's Note:

Since the first chapter wasn't that long I decided to do a second one from the other couple's perspective. Enjoy!

Today was a great day for Pastry
He finally wed his beloved Sherry
And together they would start
A bakery filled with heart.
One that was built from their love
And would sell treats that tasted like they came from above.

That was their dream for as long as the dated
So when the shop finally opened they celebrated.
Their dreams would finally come true
And they would make plenty of ponies happy too.

The only problem was the town was small
Meaning there were no bakeries at all
Beside from one that was locally famous
Even though all the treats tasted heinous.
They knew that they could not compete
Without feeling like a bakery repeat.

And to make things worse for the pair
The other bakery was right over there
Across the street from their little shop
And this tragedy they could not stop.

Despite the problems they had to face
They opened their store without disgrace.
The first few hours were very slow
As nopony wanted to go
To a place so unfamiliar and new
When they could go to the place they all knew.

That was until the first pony came
Looking for something that was not the same
As the gross food across the street
That tasted anything but sweet.
The couple was happy to serve the mare
And she seemed to think that the treat was quite fair
She left and said that she would tell others.
The couple was delighted to serve friends of hers.

Soon their small shop was booming
As all the ponies came zooming
When they heard that this new place was great,
Better than the other shop that tasted like bait.
The couple couldn’t have felt more glee
That their shop was sold out by three.

When they came home they slept nice and sound
Knowing their store had broken new ground.

When they arrived the next day they were shocked
To find that their store was locked
And that there was a sign on the door
That claimed that they had moved their store
They tore of the sign without a second thought
Not knowing that they were being fought.

The next day they saw their street was blocked
Even so ponies flocked
They found it quite odd to see a detour
As there was nothing wrong with the street the housed their store.

The next day was the worst of all
As somepony seemed to have the gaul
To drench their store and melt their wares
Luckily for them they had spares.

It was at this point they were curious
Who was so furious
That they would try to take them down
And run them out of town.
They didn’t have to look long however
As their opponent wasn’t clever
As they were now walking to them
And everything became so clear then.
