>The three of you near the three carts with tarps on them. The cart's are of a pretty good size. Each about as big as a wheelbarrel. The items themselves cannot be seen due to the tarps.But the bulges made it apparent that they were loaded with stuff.
> You look towards Applebloom as you near an unoccupied cart. Since the other two in their zeal already went towards theirs to pull. "Hey, Applebloom.What's under these tarps anyway?"
>Applebloom looked back at you with a smile "Check and see!"
>Can't argue with that. You lean down and lift the tarp up. What you see.....Was defiantly unexpected.
>It's junk. bent up tools. broken toys, metal scraps, crusty knick-knacks, dirty bottles.
>You notice a Princess Twilight figurine. The hell?She has merchandise?
>as you turn the toy with your fingers and look at it. The head sproings off the spring and smacks into your forehead. "Ow!"
>you rub your forehead as you look down at the head and glance at the now headless figurine. "uhhh girls?. You can't hold this back, this was defiantly junk, and seemed nuts to you. "You do realize, what we are selling right?"
>They both nodded, And Scootaloo noticed your skepticism and spoke immediately "What Anon? You're thinking "Junk" right?"
> Welp....Thats exactly what you thought. But it seems she knew that, as her expression became rather smug. "Y-yeah"
>Scootaloo smirked as she rubbed her hoof on her chest "Yeah, that's what most ponies would say. But see, I started thinking. I once heard a phrase "one Pony's trash is another Pony's treasure". And with that, I started thinking what would happen if we collected a whole bunch of stuff and then sold it off to ponies who actually wanted junk! We didn't spend any money finding them, so if we sell it off cheap to attract buyers. We could make a ton of bits!"
>holy crap.....that....was....actually a super good idea. "Wow...Scootaloo, did you think of that all by yourself?"
 
>Scootaloo chuckled arrogantly as she leaned against her cart "Yup! it's an idea so good, even Rainbow Dash would be saying "Oh my gosh! that's a totally AWESOME idea!""
>Applebloom looked at Scootaloo with a small scowl "Hey Scootaloo, we helped too ya know. ah found most of the stuff and Sweetie Belle set up the stand at the market. We did it together..."
>Scootaloo's arrogance subsided as she started looking around aimlessly, obviously feeling a tad embarrassed being called out like that. "Well yeah I know, I was just telling Anon here who came up with the idea...."
>"It all sounds pretty good. hmmm" You look forward "So are we taking all this stuff into town?"
>They both nodded, Applebloom already going around a ring latched to the cart to pull it. "Yup, Sweetie Belle set up a stand for us somewhere in the market. Should be easy to spot."
>As scootaloo followed suit, they already started to march ahead. But, for you. That wasn't the answer you wanted. "Wait......"
>They both look back, Scootaloo asking "What's wrong Anon?"
>"Well, I mean. Doing this by ourselves. I don't mean and all. But isn't it a little dangerous to be selling stuff by ourselves with so many strangers around?"
>Scootaloo and Applebloom looked at eachother with a face like "oh boy, he IS Fluttershy's son".
>Applebloom looked back at you "Anon, we do this kinda stuff all the time, I promise ya on the honor of an apple that everything will be fine."
>You felt unsure, but. If you didn't take the oppurtunity now. Then it would be another missed opportunity to be out and about without Fluttershy being your protector as you cower in the corner.
>You nod, and take a deep breath. "Right, I...was just making sure"
>You grab the cart and start stepping forward "Let's do this!".
>Despite calling those words out bravely, the thoughts of anything going wrong still rang in the back of your head.
 
>The three of you started your march towards town
>You started to think. You knew about the Apple family. And you had met both Applebloom and Applejack before. You wondered what Applebloom's opinion of her big sister was. Since all you had to go on was it seemed despite being honest and nice. She's quick to anger, at least thats what you knew.
>"Hey Applebloom" you call to her.
>Applebloom looks back at you "What's up Anon?"
>you take a moment to choose your words, but nothing beats a basic "What do you think of your big sister?"
>Applebloom looked up and wondered "hmmm, she's the best big sis ever, I guess"
>wut?
>"You guess? can you..umm..explain better?"
>Applebloom smiled "Ah course I can, Applejack the best sister ever because she's my ONLY sister!" she giggled
>You wanted to put your palm to your face, but you were too busy pulling the cart "no no, I mean. How would you describe her?"
>Applebloom didn't even hesitate, a sign for her love for Applejack "That's super easy Anon, she's honest to ah fault. Dependable when ya really need her, and we have fun together aaaa lot, we even make chores into fun games! If ya ever needed a better pony, ya don't need to look no further than mah big sister!"
> "Oh...hah, that's super cool." you lied. It seems she wasn't going to say anything to undermine her sister. And even then, in your opinion. Applejack can't be THAT great. Not when Fluttershy exists.
>The three of you enter town. and head towards the market. Keeping an eye out for the stand.
>You feel nervous as you look around at the other ponies going about their business. Some again, take notice of you. With various expressions on their face. Some even looking rather unapproving. Others pay you no mind. If only you could read minds.
>Finally, you three enter the market and spot the empty stand. And head towards it.
 
>Scootaloo and Applebloom excitingly talk amongst themselves as you stay silent. Trying to avoid bumping into anyone there. You didn't want to cause any trouble. And you already started to feel more anxious the deeper you go in. You don't even notice...
>"Hey Anon! ya walking to far!"
>Applebloom was waving towards you from behind the stand. Did you really not notice them going behind it or...even reaching it?
>You nod at them and quickly rush behind the stand and place your cart Amongst theirs as you all started to remove the tarps.
>Scootaloo noticed you were being slow about it, and your face had "nervousness" and "terrified"
>"hey Anon" She stepped towards you and tapped your side as you removed your tarp."What's wrong?"
>You don't even turn towards her til you feel her tapping. "huh?"
>you look towards her, composing yourself "what?"
>Scootaloo said "Anon, what's wrong? You've been acting kinda off ever since we got to town. You sick or something?"
>were you that obvious? you cocked a fake smile.
>"Yeah, just not used to being in town by myself."
>Scootaloo giggled "Anon, you're not by yourself. You're with your fellow crusaders! And we stick together no matter what. So don't worry, we got your back! Just like we know you got ours! right?"
>Wow, that was pretty good. It made you feel better atleast. Your fake smiled beamed into a real one. "Yeah, you're right...."
>You took a look at the junk in the carts "....so, how are we going to do this?"
>Scootaloo smiled as she grabbed a few items with her mouth and placed them on the counter, Applebloom doing the same. She then stopped to explain "It's easy, we just sell all this stuff for super cheap and make it sound super appealing."
>Applebloom went to face outwards towards the "customers" and added, looking back at you "And with mah expertise in selling stuff, since I have helped Applejack sell apples, it should be easier than finding a needle under a single straw of hay!"
