[Another day in Ponyville. Bon Bon would call it a peaceful day, but really, it hadn't been tranquil in this town for more than a few hours at a time for... well, years. Long before the newponies started arriving, that's for sure; probably even before Twilight showed up. Something about a sleepy little town like Ponyville made it a magnet for disaster and antics.

Regardless, a certain candy-striped mare has things to do today, and no amount of chaos or mayhem will get in the way of that!]

A
[Of course, the day always starts at the market. Can't get your Wonka on without the proper ingredients, and those typically involved fruit and a lot of sugar. More curiously, those sharper-eyed might notice the hint of some vividly blue leaves poking out of one of the packages in her saddlebags. Huh.]

B
[And, of course, once she's done shopping, she'll be running the candy shop she owns - either at the counter herself, hoofing through the newest Hoovesweek, or back in the kitchen while one of her new employees is at the register. Don't ask about the diabolical laughter; it's part of CANDY SCIENCE.]

C
[And at the end of the day she'll likely just be outside, watering flowers, both outside the shop and in the gardens nearby. Wilted flowers just totally ruin the atmosphere of the town, wouldn't you agree?]

Bon Bon!

[Oh hey, her best friend is here, slipping into the back of the store.]

Something smells good. New recipe?

[Of course, as usual when she's ~creating~, the kitchen is a bit of a wreck - oddly-colored flecks in the paint, ingredients tossed about willy-nilly, and, of course, Bon Bon in the middle of it all with slightly singed fur and a frizzled mane.]

Hardly. You know it's not technically a "recipe" until I can get things just right.

[Despite that, the mare upends a measuring cup of mint into the pot she's working with, stirring it before stepping away and seeing what happens.]

It was an idea one of the Pinkie Pies told me about a few days ago... apparently, they'd come across some candy that sparks when you bite into it, so I'm trying to make something that does that.

[There's a puff of smoke, and Bon Bon sighs.]

Except instead, I'm just making explosives. Tasty-smelling explosives, mind you, but nothing I can serve anypony.

Candy that sparks? [Slightly bewildered at that.] I hadn't thought the Pinkies were into explosives anyhow. You're not actually using flammables are you? Because it's smelling kind of burnt in here.

Even if burnt sugar does smell pretty good in its own way...

Of course not! Though...

[She trails off, mumbling to herself. Maybe she should try cinnamon... regardless, she quickly snaps out of her thoughts.]

Actually, the burning you're smelling is the mint... I definitely remember her saying something about green mint... I don't why you'd need to specify color, since all mint is green, but... either way, it's not mixing in right with the sugar. If I could just use mint oil, we wouldn't have much of a problem, but...

[The mare sighs.]

I figured it'd be something that'd fit in great with Summer Sun, you know? I've gotta strike while the iron's hot, and that means I've gotta keep trying... we've only got a few weeks until then, right?

Mint... have you tried mixing it with vanilla extract? You might get a better result like that. Especially if you want to make poppy chocolates than anything else. Or maybe powder the mint first... that might help?

And yeah we need something cool for the Summer Sun. We can't be lax. I'm composing a couple of new songs, one as Miss Jess, one as myself.

[That sure is one big dragon peering into the shop window and trying to get a look at everything without wrecking the shopfront or messing up the glass.

He's got a sheepish look on his face as he holds up a small bag of bits and taps on the window carefully, trying to get someone's attention. Skyfire had counted out some money to get some treats, but not being able to fit in the shop... Well, that made things quite difficult.]

[Bon Bon remembers when it was just Spike that she had to deal with in regards to dragons shopping at her store... at least they could fit in the store.

That said, she sees the bits, and even though she gives a slight sigh, a customer was a customer, so the mare trots out of the shop to address Skyfire.]

What can I do for you today?

[Despite the slight annoyance inside the shop, she's all smiles when she knows he can see her.]

[Skyfire gives her an almost shy smile and starts with an apology first.]

I'm sorry for making you come out here to serve me... I, uh, need to get a nice selection of sweets for a little filly and I also need something suitable for a thank you gift...

[He pauses and looks a bit guilty as he admits.]

I would also like a couple of everything you have in stock besides... Er, If it won't clear you out of all of your stock that is. I don't want to be the cause of someone's disappointment... [Seems someone has developed a bit of a sweet tooth, and while that bag of bits might look small, there was probably enough in there to buy out more than half of her shop.]

[Why is Dustin checking out the candy store? He mostly wanted the munchies and was trying to decide on what to get.]

Hey. What do you recommend chocolate-wise?

[The mare perks up, smiling.]

All of it! It's a family recipe, nothing else in Equestria compares! I don't know your tastes in particular, but I'm partial to the cherry cordials and, obviously, the bon-bons.

[Of course, that comment would probably be lost on a newpony who'd never met her.]

[Dustin grinned. He really liked chocolate so he'll follow Bon Bon's advice.]

Ooh. I'll try them then. Name's Dustin.

(Rainbow's all about diabolical laughter, or knowing who can pull it off since she's pretty capable of making animal noises herself. Assuming somepony laughs like that, she'll suddenly hear the dreaded howl of a Timberwolf...!

Cue a few more seconds before Rainbow Dash pops up at the window of the shop, laughing lightly.)

Bon Bon! 'Sup?

(Cooking is a new concept to Seabiscuit. I mean, he's had hot water and oatmeal before, but hadn't seen his stablehands prepare it. And he didn't have the dexterity to do it himself at the time.

But this. Wow. Those are some keen smells coming from Bonbon's shop. And he's never seen that much sugar in his life.

So he stops window-shopping and heads in, head bowed, hoof over his chest. Real polite like.)

Hello, babe. What'cha recommend?

(...30's slang could you not do that to Bonbon. Seabiscuit could you not call Bonbon that. Momdammit Seabiscuit.)
