Façade quietly walked into Ponyville and put up a warming smile. He deftly got through a tight knot of ponies and ended up with a fatter wallet. "Easy pickings. Sheesh." He walked into a pink colored building and slid into a booth by a window. Façade stared around town with his cobalt eyes. Scrutinizing the scene for every detail, when a sudden hoof upon his shoulder started him.
"Welcome to Sugar Cube Corner, what can I get ya?" Façade looked at the lanky earth pony to him, and Façade smiled warmly. "Just waiting for a friend, but you wouldn't happen to have Apple Cupcakes would ya?" Façade added a country accent to his voice, subtle enough for the earthpony not to notice, but enough to make it clear he "wasn't" from Canterlot. He smiled when the waited nodded yes. Then thank ya for your time." As the waiter walked away, he called "And add a cider, would ya!" to the orange colored pony. As the pony went to the back, Façade pulled out his patented bag of trick and went to work disguising his cutie mark. In a matter of three minutes and Façade had a shiny apple for a cutie mark. He put up his bag back as the waiter returned. As Façade enjoyed an apple cupcake, he decided he would need to find out more about the town. Then he noticed a happy pink pony bounce into the back room, singing some ridiculous tune. He grinned and sat in a more relaxing posture. Sipping the cider while he finished his first cupcake.
