Redblood walked into the Sugarcube corner restaurant and saw many customers eating a whole variety of sweet treats. Cupcakes, muffins, candy and all manner of other delicious treats. His mouth watered and he got his bits out ready to buy a lot of stuff for himself as well as his slave. He was new to Ponyville and had not yet checked out this great establishment. He walked up to the counter to wait for service. A pink earth pony suddenly emerged from behind the counter which gave him a shock. She immediately started speaking so fast it took several moments to start catching with what she was saying.

"Hi I'm Pinkie Pie and welcome to Sugarcube corner, I love to make my customers smile! How can Pinkie make you smile today! Maybe a lovely muffin! Or a cake! Or some kind of sugary sweet, we have sooooo many to choose from, we have chocolate and ice cream and gingerbread and chocolate ice-cream and chocolate coated gingerbread and gingerbread shaped ice cream and ice cream shaped chocolate! Wait... no ice cream doesn't have a shape, oooh silly me."

Pinkie Pie started giggling to herself and rolling on the floor behind the counter.

Redblood held up his hoof and tried to interrupt her loudly with his request so she could hear him over her own voice.

"I just want sugar!"

Pinkie Pie stared at him, not sure if he heard him right.

"I'm sorry, you want what?" Pinkie Pie asked giving him an inquisitive look.

"I just want some of the sugar you use to make your food, I am a baker and I want to prepare some of my own food". Redblood Lied.

Pinkie put a hoof to her chin. She barraged him with another really fast explanation.

"Hmmmm, you do know you can just order sugar from Fillydelphia right? We don't normally sell sugar ourselves. If you want sugar you should order it from there, but if you want to pay extra I'll give you some right now to save you time on waiting!".

"Yes please". Redblood Replied. "I need it too urgently to wait on an order. I’m willing to pay you double what you bought it for".

"Oh wow!" Pinkie bounced into the air in excitement squealing. "That's super terrifically duper! But I need to ask my boss first, if it's okay! I'm sure she’ll be fine, after all bits are bits". Pinkie bounced off into the kitchen area making a strange sound with each hop. Redblood backed away to a seat to wait for a bit. But as if Pinkie had teleported she was suddenly behind him and yelling excitedly.

"Oh Mrs Cake says it is fine, you can buy some sugar from us, as long as we have enough left for the parrrty tomorrow! Do you want to come, everypony in Ponyville is invited everypony will be there! Well, we aren’t sure if Fluttershy will, she’s gone missing and I’m really worried". Pinkie suddenly went from an excited to sad look on her face.

Redblood backed away from the pony at the mention of Fluttershy. He desperately tried to shut her up about the subject.

"No I am new here I haven't even met Fluttershy before, please may I just buy the sugar, I'm in a hurry".

Pinkie Pie's expression suddenly looked like she was the happiest pony in the world again.

"Okie dokie Lokie!" Replied Pinkie in her sugary sweet voice. "How much do you need? Are you having a party? What are you making? If you want I can make a suggestion about how much you will need?" Redblood was getting frustrated and spoke without thinking.

"I just need enough to cover some pancakes!".

"Oooh pancakes! Pancakes remind me of Fluttershy, she loved pancakes, more than anypony, she got them all the time, especially with lemon". Pinkie said while she grabbed a bag of sugar from the kitchen and placed it on the counter. "That will be 12 bits she screeched, that's double what it normally costs us to buy it". Redblood was getting sick of her voice. He hastily plopped 15 bits in front of her and went to leave with the bag. Pinkie appeared in front of him with his 3 bits change as soon as he turned his head to the exit.

"Oh you silly dilly! You forgot your change". Pinkie said holding her hoof out.

"Um... keep it" Redblood said frantically running away from the crazy pony. He started running through the town in no particular direction, not knowing if he was going towards the farm. But then out of nowhere Pinkie Pie came out from behind a house he was passing.

"No I insist!" she shouted. "Please take your change". Redblood took the change hoping it would make her leave him alone. He had no such luck; Pinkie Pie started bouncing behind him.

"So where are you going? I'm on my lunch break and when there is a new pony in Ponyville I have to become their friend. I can help you find anything or anyone you need, well except Fluttershy, I can't find her anywhere!" Pinkie said. Her expression suddenly turning into a frown again.

Redblood started sweating at all these mentions of his slave, it was clearly noticed that she was gone. He thought her only friends were animals. Redblood tried to sound as unenthused as possible to get the pink pony away from him.

"I'm just off to a boring old farm to buy some lemons". He grunted.

"Oh oh oh! So you're off to see Applejack, she's the only farm pony here, me and her are bestest best friends, I’ll come with you and introduce you both. I promise that after I tell her about your generously paying so much for my sugar, by my recommendation, she’ll be willing to give you a discount on her lemons. I'm sure of it". Pinkie Pie enthused.

Redblood didn't seem to be able to think of a way to get her to go away without seeming suspicious or rude. He decided to go along with it. A discount on lemons seemed like it would be worth hearing the never-ending voice for a little bit longer. As he continued towards Sweet Apple Acres following Pinkie he stopped listening to her incessant ramblings about things he didn't care about, that had happened in the town. This hunt for Fluttershy's breakfast was turning into a huge hassle. He saw the farm and the apple trees in the distance and started picking up his pace.

"You seem to be in a hurry!" said Pinkie Pie. "Are these pancakes for a special somepony?"

"Um... No I just really like sugar and lemon on my pancakes" Replied Redblood, getting more and more annoyed. The pink pony's voice never stopped.

"Ooooh, in that case, I have some super special lemons back at the shop! There from Hoofington. They have the best lemon farms in all of Equestria."

"No!" Yelled Redblood, "she wanted Applejack's lemons" His statement getting quiet as he realised his mistake.

"Oh! So this is for a special somepony". Pinkie voice raced. "Does she know the Apple Family? Do I know her, is she a recent or well-known member of Ponyville. I know everypony in Ponyville, I bet you I could guess who it is". Redblood started getting flustered, her questions were getting way too close to hitting the mark, he had to shut her up, somehow. In the heat of the moment he came up with a very bad lie.

"There for my dead grandmother, she requested that she have her favourite food placed on her grave after she died".

"Ohhhh no, that's so sad". Pinkie pouted. Pinkie stopped bouncing so much and started walking. "I'm so sorry, I understand now why you didn't want to talk about her.”Pinkie was finally silent for a moment. Redblood savoured the silence for only a few seconds before it continued.

"Oh oh I know, I should organise a wake for you, there will be cake and muffins and...."

"NO!" shouted Redblood angrily "I just want her to rest in peace.” Pinkie Pie felt bad about making her new friend feel bad and decided to change the subject. That should make him feel better.

"Sooooo..." Pinkie said inquisitively trying to coax a new subject of conversation from him. Redblood just ignored her; he could see the farm only a few hundred meters away, he could soon be rid of this pink pony. He just hoped that this next pony Applejack wasn't as difficult to deal with as she was. The pink pony's voice continued cheerfully.

"Oh don't worry mister grumpy pants, you and I are going to be super-duper good friends, foooorever!"

Redblood's black furred face went white. 'Forever'. He would have to put up with this pony invading his business forever? That was like forever! He needed to escape her somehow. He didn't want friends; he already had the only friend he wanted locked in his basement. The rest of these ponies were unnecessary.

He finally approached the farm; he just wanted to get some damned lemons and leave. He had decided he should put some limitations on his slave's options; this was already way too much trouble.
