"Nooo? Not always, anyway. Just sometimes, just the new ones, just the ponies just arrived in town..."

The pink pony grins from ear to ear.

"I've been to town before, I just prefer to not be noticed"

Really miss? In a town with so many farms and such nice soil wouldn't three tomatoes be closer to one bit?

SHe asks politely and in a complimenting way trying to flatter the ponies home town.

The salesmare smiles at the filly.

"Well Ponyville soil sure is the best but 1 bit!? I might as well give them away."

She shakes her head.

Auntie Jubileena coughs again, except this time it sounds like '2 bits'.

+++

"Sure thing Mr! That'll be uhm..."

She counts on her hooves, which involves shuffling her hind hooves too.

"3 bits for a punnet."

She deduces.

"Here you go then." Sketch says, fetching three bits from his saddlebags.

I can see your point. and I know it takes time and work. How about we split the difference and call it 2 bits?

SHe asks looking up at the mare with bright eyes.

Auntie Jubileena gives suppreses a titter at the earnest young filly's business-like language. Even the shop-mare gives Peach a smile.

"Alright Miss, 2 bits for the tomatoes. You city fillies sure strike a hard bargain."

She hoofs over the bag of tomatoes.

++++

"Awesome!"

She says enthusiastically, taking the bits.

She picks up a punnet in her mouth, transfers it to her hoof and gives it to Sketch.

The mare grins.

"If you need anything berry then you come back to Berry!"

She says, before turning to a small, tubby, blueish unicorn colt who has picked up a punnet in his hooves. She recites the same enthusiastic greeting to the colt.

Auntie Jubileena beams at her.

"Well done! And here I was thinking you were timid like your sister! You showed real earth pony determination. You're Fizzy's filly alright."

She compliments the filly.

Mama always told me that you have to talk to venders like equals. Talk down to them and they resent you treat them like they are above others and they will try to get over on you

Sketch smiles back, before walking away from the stand.

"Should I get anything else, since I'm here?" Sketch ponders.

Jubileena nods at the level-headed advice.

"That sounds like Fizzy."

She gives a wry smile, and gives a fond look at Peach.

"My, but you do remind me of her."

She hesitates.

"Alright young mare I'll let you pick something tasty up for dessert!"

She begins to trot away from the market.

Next post streets

Sketch sees stalls selling apples and his large pony nostrils detect the scent of baking (presumably from the cake-like bakery he saw earlier). He also sees the restaurants he saw earlier.

In terms of non-edible things there's not a great deal of such sellers out this early, although a general sundries stall is just beginning to open. The pale green unicorn mare wears a striking blue striped straw hat and a savvy expression.

Sketch plans to go to the general sundries shop at a later time, after he actually eats something.

"I should probably talk to Fluttershy about the names of the bat family. I want to know what their names are so that I won't call them by something else." Sketch spontaneously thinks.

As Sketch is thinking about fruit bats, and their delicious fruity bodies, his mind turns to the scrumptious berries he has just bought and his stomach rumbles.

His artistic brain easily remembers the route he and Mrs Mane took last night.

On the other hoof his Canterlotian sensibility reminds him that it is quite early for a house call.

"At later time, though it's far too early to visit anypony. First, I will eat breakfast, then, around the afternoon, I shall visit Fluttershy." Sketch concludes, satisfied with his plan.

A unicorn trots past levitating a scrumptious smelling pastry in a bag.

Sketch's own horn tingles a little at the proximity of the other's magic.

Meanwhile his stomach cries out for a decision :P

Sketch finally pulls out the punnet, opens it, and levitates a few blackberries into his mouth.

The berries are indeed scrumptious.

Sketch sees the punnet packet has the words "Have berry dreams with Berry Dreams' Berries!" written on it in neat hoof-script.

Now that Sketch's stomach is sated to an extent he can contemplate the next stage in his plan :3
