The smell of the more basic soaps is merely a standard generic lavenderish smell. The more exotic-looking soap which she sniffs is not familiar to dazzle. On the packaging of one is a large rainbow multicoloured fruit with an electric spark at the top. The logo states that it is Glow ~ Pour Mer; smaller text at the base of the soap-box reads: Rich Enterprises Ltd.

As she examines the soap she notices a striking steel-coloured earth stallion gazing her way from the counter inside the soap-shop tent.

Sketch walks into the marketplace, looking around in hopes of locating someplace that sells hammers.

"I haven't been here much yet, so this might take some time..."

Sketch notices quite a few stalls up and running, and all rather busy with the noon-day crowds, just like the Cakes' shop had been.

He doesn't immediately locate any hammers. Sketch notices a southern-looking pony stands behind a particularly busy stall, which sports a number of large agricultural tools. The crowd round the stall is unusually rowdy...

Dazzle smiles sweetly, waving to the stallion before returning to examine the soaps, intrigued by the ones she doesn't know.

"I wonder what's going on here..." Sketch says in his head, walking to the stall to see what all the hullabaloo is about.

Dazzle smiles sweetly, waving to the stallion before returning to examine the soaps, intrigued by the ones she doesn't know.
The stallion flashes her a large, and dazzlingly bright, smile of perfect white teeth.

"A lady with good taste!That is among a finest Zap Apple soaps. Would you like to try some, my dear?"

The stallion speaks in a crisp, somehow clean, baritone, enunciating each syllable carefully. He trots out from behind the counter.

Dazzle can smell a a faint apple smell and an intriguing sharp tanging smell coming from the rainbow fruit exotic soap.

"I wonder what's going on here..." Sketch says in his head, walking to the stall to see what all the hullabaloo is about.


As Sketch nears the crowd of stallions he hears snippets of their conversation. The tool-stall is run by a southern looking stallion with buck teeth, but the stallions grouped around him don't appear to be buying implements...

"I know! Finer than alla them trumped up Cannerlonian fillies!"

"I could show er roun' town... wonder if she's single?"

"Pfaw a filly like that? Fat chance... an' even if she was I bet she's turned down more stallions than that Rarity."

A murmur of agreement goes up from the stallions.

"Zap Apple? What is a Zap Apple?"

Dazzle asks, sniffing it curiously.

"And, umm, if you don't mind me asking, how do I try without bathing?"

"It's a special apple sourced locally from the orchard that crests the hill looking over Ponyville. It is renowned for the latent energy in its juices that give a clean so deep that not a speck remains, even under a microscope! But that is not all! It also rejuvenates and enlivens not just your fur and skin, but your muscles, fat layers, even your bones!"

The stallion continues, reverentially. He breaks out of his reverie to answer the more practical question.

"And if you want to try, it is my pleasure to provide a sample of that particular soap so that you may experience its magnificent effects."

"Excuse me, may I ask what's going on here?" Sketch asks a random pony in the crowd, hoping for an answer.

"If that's okay, sir."

Dazzle agrees.

"If you don't mind me asking; how do zap apples taste?"

"Excuse me, may I ask what's going on here?" Sketch asks a random pony in the crowd, hoping for an answer.
A large rough brown country earth stallion looks down at Sketch.

"Oh... just this mare who's new to town. One of those fancy crystal ponies."

The stallion looks a little uncertain.

"An interesting question; I suppose they taste extremely tangy, like they smell. Far too strong to taste on their own, but with the right accompaniment perhaps."

He offers.

"Where might I find one of these 'zap apples'? Perhaps I might like the taste, or somepony makes a snack with them?"

Dazzle asks hopefully.

The stallion looks thoughtful.

"Well the source is the local apple orchard, run by the Apple Family - stalwart Ponyville folk- if a little... rustic."

He admits, confidingly.

"Rustic? I'm sure they're charming. Where might that be?"

Dazzle asks, looking around.

The stallion winces, and produces an immaculate hoofkerchief to wipe his brow.

"Why yes, of course."

He agrees.

"The large red barn cresting the Mountain is their's. You should get a clear view of it if you look from almost anyplace in town. There might be some... mud."

He whispers the last word significantly.

Dazzle wrinkles her snout, she wasn't a big fan of mud, given the Empire and it's impeccably clean streets. But, if that was the price of finding these apples, then so be it.

"Surely, there must be a path to avoid most of the mud? A road or track?"

She asks hopefully.

"There is a dirt track yes... I have heard that a pony who is very careful might trot it without becoming dirty themselves, but I personally would prefer to employ a local pony to trot, or preferably fly, me there in a carriage."

He suggests.

"Ah." Sketch says in understanding.

"It's probably the crystal pony from the train." Sketch concludes, taking another look around in his search for a tool shop.

The stallion resumes listening to tales of the pretty mare.

Sketch notices that the stallions have clustered round the tool shop, and are talking to the shop-pony who is leading the group.

Sketch walks over to the tool shop, glad that he's (hopefully) found the correct place.

"Now where are the hammers?" Sketch asks himself, waiting to take a look before asking anypony.
