The bustling commercial centre to Ponyville is the market. Each stall is a small tent with a table set out in front, from which the salesponies peddle their wares to the crowds. The market is held together by the market welfare group, consisting of Golden Harvest, Cherry Berry and Baritone.

Roseberry finds the little market bustling, with ponies spending their hard-earned wages on food, drink and goods. She passes stalls selling carrots, celery, honey, until finally she comes across the cherry stall. A pink earth pony mare with a fluffy blonde mane is making up small bags of cherries, but also has larger punnets and baskets. She smiles sweetly to the young mare as she trots up. |

Roseberry takes in the bustling market feel, enjoying the rustic feel of the place. She smiles back at the mare. "Hello there. Could I have one of your small bags of cherries please?" She readies the bits. |

The mare smiles sweetly and nods. "Sure! It's two bits for a bag. Or, if you want a little basket, it's five. Are you sure I can't tempt you?" She asks hopefully, holding up the bag, and the basket. The amount of cherries in the basket many times more than the bag. |

Roseberry considers. "The bag is fine, thanks. I'm just having a naughty nibble before breakfast." She hoofs over the bits. "I've just come over on the train from Filly you see. Say, you wouldn't know nice little local cafe I could breakfast at would you?" She continues to the other mare, chattily. +++++ Dazzle trots up to the market, which at the early time of day is only just getting going. The salesponies are setting out their good in their canvas covered stalls, but they are accepting customers. She notices the earth-pony food which she came across in Canterlot: carrots, honey, asparagus. Some of the tradesponies and customers double-take as they see the crystal pony.

The mare smiles sweetly, listening intently to Roseberry's little introduction. She lifts one of the bags and offers it over. "New in town? Oh well, welcome to Ponyville, I hope you like it here. As for a cafe? The Clover is just down the next street. You can't miss it, it's got haybales outside for chairs." She informs the little pony, gesturing. + The cyan unicorn at the stall glances up from her comic, a little taken by surprise. "Oh, hey? Yeah, I'm alright, I don't look sad, do I?" She asks, a little confused by his greeting. The smaller pony has a striped, short mane and golden eyes. Her mark is a string instrument similar to a harp, but a little oddly shaped, strange that she'd be here selling candies. + Dazzle feels a little self conscious, not used to being such a centre of attention, up in the Crystal Empire she was just another pony. But here, ponies stared. It would be comforting if she wasn't the only one being stared at, but she was. She shakes the uneasy feeling and heads for the honey stall, intrigued by the thought of bees supplying food that ponies could eat. |

Apple Syrup blushed and shook his head "no, No of course not. It's just uhh... how I greet people" he smiled slightly embarrassed. He looked down at one of the jars and lifted his hoof to tap the glass ever so slightly. "How much for the Turkish Delight?" he asked. |

The mare cocks her head and sticks her tongue out to think. "Uuuuuuh... I think... I think it was a bit per... somethin'." She replies meekly, scrabbling under the stall to grab a slightly tattered piece of parchment with prices written on it. "Tur-... Tur-... Ah! Here we are. It's a bit a quarter pound." She looks up with a broad, almost silly grin. |

Apple Syrup smiled at the mares actions "Alright, I'll take a quarter poind of it then" he nodded. He figured she was just new, or was left in charge... or.. just didn't really care much to memorize everything. He leaned over a little, peeking over the jars of candies. "What comic are you reading?" he asked with interest. |

The mare squeaks and sweeps it under the counter. "Comic? What comic? I don't know nothing about no comic? Ha, comics are for babies and foals, amirite?" She flusters, distracting herself by filling a bag with the sweet, soft candies. |

Apple syrup smirked lightly."I've never liked them much myself.. but the way I see it.. You should do whatever you enjoy doing" he smiled. Then he shrugged it off, he didn't want to question her over something she was clearly embarrassed about. So he just moved on. "So, what might your name be?" he asked with a warm smile. |

"Who me? Uh, Lyra. You talk funny." She quips with a grin, glad to be moving on with the conversation. "You sound like that little colt..." |

Apple Syrup laughed at her words "Oh, I do, do I ?" he smirked. "Well I think you Ponyville folk talk pretty funny too" he teased her. Then he tilted his head at her next words "what colt?" he looked around. |

Lyra hold her hoof above the ground, about the height of a colt. "The little spotty one. Got a big brown spot round his eye" She gestures. "Koinda toks loike this." She badly copies the Trottingham accent. |

Apple Syrup bit down on his lip, trying to not laugh at her attempt of the accent. "Oh, perhaps I know the little guy" he said, still chuckling through his teeth. "I do know a little colt and his family moved away not long back, he was friends with my brother Orchid" he nodded, trying to think of the name. "What was his name again... Squeaky or something like that" he nodded. |

"Umm, yeah... somethin' like that." Lyra nods, still grinning brightly. "So, go on then, funny-talker, what's your name, or I'm just gonna call you funny-talker-pony." She threatens. |

"Names Apple Syrup" he smiled, bowing his head slightly before tossing a bit onto the counter to pay for the Turkish Delight. "You can call me whatever you like though, Darlin'" he chuckled. |

The mare's sweet smile weakens slightly at the pet name, but she recovers enough to nod. "Yeah... Syrup's fine, I guess. Welcome to Ponyville and all that." She levitates the bit off the counter and drops it into the box. "You need more candy, just come calling, or we've got a proper shop close by." |

AppleSyrup chuckled at her reaction to the pet name, then he smirked "I'll be sure to come back" he nodded. He leaned forward over the country "Maybe not for the candy in the jars" he grinned. |

Finishing the apple, book takes a look around at the bustling marker, little dazed by the busyness compared to the canterlot shops he was used to. He checks about at the different kind of stalls from a distance to get oriented. |
