I was sure that there were eight small Pearls, not seven Quinty thought with her head in one of the boxes, she was trying to get to the bottom and she was determined to find it. Then, she heard a voice comming from someplace nearby her stall.

 

"H-hey there. I saw your stall along the way and looking closely, these look pretty cool. What are these, if you don't mind me asking. By the way, my name's Dynamo Pad. It's r-really nice to meet you."

Quinty peeked out of the box to see who it was and who he was talking to, then she saw he was talking to her 'Great! I haven't unpacked all my stuff or ponies start asking stupid questions.' She mutterd quietly so the customer couldn't hear it. Then she put on her best smile and got out of the box to greet the stallion. She tried to sound as kind as she could so she wouldn't scare him away inmediately 'I'm not really open yet.' She said kindly but her words had a sharp edge. 'Those are pearls from the north lunar ocean.are you interested in buying some?' She explained with that same, semi kind, voice.

 

She knew she should've tried harder to sound kind but she hadn't had her coffee yet, or any kind of breakfast at all, and she was still a bit sleepy. And, on top of that all, she hadn't talked anypony else as her parents in a really long time. She didn't want to show off her lack of social skills so she had to pretend that she didn't want to socialise instead of showing that she couldn't.

Dynamo looked to the mare and heard that the stall wasn't open yet. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Um...do you perhaps need any help unloading the rest of your things. I'm not sure what I can do, but I don't mind helping somepony out if it's possible." Dynamo said trying to sound helpful. He looked at the pearls in front of him. "Wow so these are pearls. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure to be honest. They just looked so beautiful and I've never been to a place called the North Lunar Ocean, but it sounds like a beautiful place to get a name like that." Dynamo smiled while looking back up from the stall.

You're right, I-I've got to get to finding the mayor's office so I can become a resident to Ponyville. It was nice talking to you though. I hope we can meet again sometime." Dynamo said as he turned to walk away towards Sugarcube Corner. He had a sad look on his face thinking he had done something wrong. 'Good going there, Dynamo. You probably just went and bothered that pony and they might not be your friend now.' He thought to himself. He shook his head to get any ill thought's out of his mind and try to stay as positive as he could. Before he continued onward, he took one last look behind him to see the mare look around for something. Thinking it was against his better judgement, he decided to go back to the stall.

Quinty sighed in relief when the pony walked away finaly, some peace and quiet so I can set up my stall she thought, but how wrong was she. Just a few moments later she heard his voice again.

 

"Excuse me, you seem to be looking for something. Did something happen, did you losing something very important?"

she looked up and saw him standing at her stall again. She shook her head and felt actually a bit sorry for him, he tried to be nice and she was just pushing him away. 'It's nothing.' she said, with a kind voice this time, and pulled the white beany she was wearing straight 'I lost one of my pearls, a really small one. no big deal, it isn't worht much. I'm just annoyed that I can't find it!' and her voice raised a bit at the end of the sentence out of frustration. At home Quinty had her parents to help her find the stuff she lost, but now she had to do it herself and she couldn't stand it when she couldn't find her stuff. Even something as unimportand as a little pearl could ruin her day just because of the fact that she lost it.

"Hmm...I would say try and retrace your steps. Do you know if all the pearls where in one spot and one of them rolled a bit away? That's what happens when I misplace my controller or a game. It's always in a place you least expect it." Dynamo said voicing his thoughts with a hoof under his chin and his eyes closed in thought. He then looked around the stall to see if the missing pearl had rolled around somewhere, or was in someplace that it wasn't noticable.
