[FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
The Town of Bridle Shores
Far to the west of Canterlot, further still even from Ponyville, a quiet little town is quickly springing up near a large lake.
This is Bridle Shores, situated along a large lake with a natural beach. Not far from town is Mt. Trotia, with a waterfall that feeds into the lake. The town is surrounded by a lush forest which the ponies of the town both use and nurture with delicate balance.
A small business district has started to grow, with a bakery, Dress shop, Grill, Greenhouse, Dojo, Saw mill, snow cone stand, dance academy, and even a soda bar popping up for the citizens of the town.They are also experimenting with new technology such as Floppy Disk’s computer shack or the Doctor's friendship harnessing lab. In addition, there's a farm and a wizard's tower on the outskirts of the town.
Much of the forest is quiet and peaceful, but deeper within the forest lurks creatures far more dangerous…

Locations Covered in this Thread
Grills' Spa and Grill: Grills's Grill is a recently re-opened high class restaurant where he, you guessed it, grills things. In keeping with the show, what he grills is entirely made of vegetable matter. The second floor of the building is where the Spa is located. This is where a pony can have a dip in the hot springs and mudbaths, or get a massage.
Scarlet's Boutique:Scarlet's Boutique is similar to Rarity's boutique, and even has dresses supplied to her by Rarity. There is even a nice selection of suits, ties, and collars for stallions and colts. The boutique doubles as a salon for ponies looking for a new manestyle.
Snickerdoodle's Bakery: Snickerdoodle's Bakery is the town's main place to get baked goods. From cupcakes to cookies, a pony can get their pastry fix here... if they wake up the baker. Desserts purchased at the Grill can be found here as Grills gets his final courses at Snickerdoodle's.
Eclair's Restaurant: Eclair's Restaurant is a nice place. The environment tends to change a lot depending on time of day, and who it looks like her clientele will be at the time. However, most consistently, Eclair's restaurant is the kind of place colts and fillies go out on first dates when either are short on cash. Eclair's isn't a place you go to impress the person you're dating, it's where you go when you want to have a good time, but can't afford the Grill.
Greif's Cafe/Sports Bar: During the day, Greif the griffin operates a cafe that serves a variety of coffees, sandwiches, and other drinks or snacks. Once evening falls, the menu changes to include a wide range of ciders and various snacks that are probably more delicious than healthy, and they even open up a game room."

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
Garion tried copying her, but that required a certain practiced finesse that he just didn't have. Swing and a miss, swipe and a miss, each time, the potato and peeler refused to meet. Only by slowing himself down (to the point where the peeler was shaking from all that sugar) could he gently scrape away a bit of the potato skin.
**************************
Now that they were closer, Sandy could make out a bit more of what they were saying. And he wasn't sure how to feel about it. Somehow, he was in the wrong for running off? Well, yeah, it was kind of a jerk move, and maybe he should've tried talking them out of the dates, but it wasn't really his choice to get dragged off to the Spa. Or was it? I mean, maybe if he'd put up more resistance at home...

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
Garion gladly put down the half-peeled potato and his peeler. "Okay, Miss Yellow. I can stir alright." He followed the mare over to the pot/pan/whatever of sauce and, picking up a big stirring spoon with both forehooves, started to slowly stir the thick sauce. His size made it a bit difficult to maneuver the spoon around, but so long as he kept his balance on his hind hooves, he should be fine.

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
Chilly turned around and peered at the cooking colt. "Yellow, did you take my helper now?"
"He's my helper now. And he's wonderful." Yellow gave the much smaller pony a squeeze. One hoof remained to help him balance. The mare emitted this cool big sister vibe onto the environment with her smile and cheerfulness.Gitp's No. 1 Cake hater

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
(Oh crud, thought I'd responded to this)
A doofy smile crept onto the little colt's face as he started to stir a little harder. The kitchen just felt so warm and cozy, like when Miss Gwyn would tuck him in at night, he nearly gave the yellow mare a nuzzle by mistake. But a few stirs later, his ears started to droop. He guiltily looked back to the older mare and her bag of taters. "I'm sorry, Grandma, potatoes just aren't my thing. Can I help you with something else later?"I'm developing a game.

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
Bakery ----> Greif's Cafe
Snickers nods. "Alright. Uncle Flapjack can stay here, and we can go bug Mr. Griffin. Let's get going then."
A minute or so later, Snickers (with Foxglove mostly likely in accompaniment) approaches the new store across the street. The griffin is just finishing tossing a few small cardboard boxes into the large dumpster set up next to the shop, when he takes notice of the two ponies approaching. "Oh well hi there neighbors!" the griffin proclaims warmly, his beak curling into a grin. He quickly strides over to meet them, and extends a golden talon out to Snickers. "Name's Greif. Greif Lowe. Retired Griffin Air Force, and proud owner of a new combo cafe and sports bar."
"My name is Snickerdoodle," Snickers replies with a friendly smile. He extends a hoof in turn, but is slightly caught off guard when Greif grabs it and shakes it more vigorously than expected. Regaining his balance, Snickers adds: "I own the bakery across the street."
"Oh coolness!" Greif exclaimed. "I may need to bug you later about a business deal or something." He then turns to Foxglove, and flashes a charming grin. "And who might you be, m'lady?"Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known.

"Well, he was in the Wonderbolts, captain actually. Very awesome and cool, fun, was really the closest pony I had to a father figure, until he passed away some years ago. Inspiring, oh, and the goggles I wear all the time, those were his Wonderbolt goggles, told me they helped bring out the magic from you," Spark smiled and pat his chest. He couldn't help but have a happy, pleased and dopey smile on his face when he talked about his grandpa.SpoilerPony Rp-Fox Trot Profile

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
It was hard, stirring with a big spoon and talking to Grandma at the same time. The colt was starting to teeter a little off-balance and tilt the sauce pan/pot/container a bit whenever the spoon hit it just right. "Mashing? Is that anything like crashing?" the colt asked innocently.

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
"I might by the Higgs-Boson Particle. At least, I like to think people were looking for me before they found me.... Or I might be a fish one day. I'd like that... I might..."
This last one struck her very suddenly and worried her, because it was an entirely new thought: I might be a pony somepony loves. The idea got her thinking about...Well, a lot of related ideas. Birds. Picnics (she could be a picinic basket, with picinic food inside her...After she ate a picinic)...Cloud-dancing...
"...I might be a cloud. But I don't think I will be. I might be the grass one day, and bits of me might become lots of things."
There. Onto Death.

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
Greif stares for a moment. He then chuckles heartily, and shakes his head. "Well, I don't know much about Big Boston particles, or fish..." he pauses, then decides not to say anything about knowing a good fried catfish recipes. "But I do know a thing or two about clouds. And," he grins charmingly, "I think I might have a box or two laying around you can use, Miss...?" he extends a talon to Foxglove, expecting a shake and a name.
Snickers tries not to smirk, and decides to wait until later to ask her why she wants to be a fish.Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known.

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
Garion scampered over to the nice old mare and plopped down right next to her. "So we have to take the potatoes, and crash them together, right?" he asked eagerly. Mister Grills would be happy to have a more experienced helper in the kitchen, cooking with him was always a blast.

Chilly
"Almost. You have to hit the potato with this masher hammer." Chilly stated as she waved a wooden mallet in her hooves. Oh course this is not how you make mashed potatoes but Chilly knew who much colts relish in destruction.

Grills stepped down and motioned to escort Gwyn to the kitchen. "Come, sugarplum."Gitp's No. 1 Cake hater

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
Garion took one of the potatoes and gingerly set it down on the counter. With both forelegs, he grasped the masher and laid it juuust on top of the potato. The colt lifted the hammer, only to stop it just short. Up, down, stop. Up, down, stop. Again and again. The aim just had to be perfect; this wasn't mashing counters, after all. He brought the hammer up high, higher than any try before, and brought it smashing down onto the potato with all his foalish strength, reducing the potato to mush with a loud *splat!*
Garion's forelegs trembled uncontrollably, and his face started to glow. Bigger, bigger, bigger until it seemed his grin would fall right off his face. "That. Was. Incredible!" the colt cried out in sheer delight. The hammer stayed put; he couldn't even bring himself to lift it again.
He didn't even notice as his caretakers trotted into the kitchen.

And wouldn't you know, Grills would walk in to see the whole thing. "MOM!"
Chilly disn't turn around. She simply kept peeling potatoes. "Grilly, no yelling."
"Garion. He's.. He's"
"He's helping me. He's a good assistant." she calmly said.

Re: [FiM] Bridle Shores Commercial: Bits or Credit 2
From just searching the fenced-in area, they wouldn't find anything more of note. The dumpsters were all full of old, gross flowers, leaving hardly any room for a pony to hide, even one of Sandy's size. And the boxes either were empty, or full of those aforementioned paper wrappers. Oh, and one empty, overturned box had a family of possums snoring peacefully inside. But no pegasus in sight.

Gwynfillion stood there a little durrrr at the scene before her. From her perspective it wasn't so bad as Grills' reaction made it seem. Life skills, Garion was learning a life skill of mashing potatoes. Okay, making a mess here wasn't a life skill. So she stood there all durrr like.

"Yeah, that's definitely fine." Beautiful Nightmare said. It definitely wasn't in a disapproving manner. She continued to eat her kabobs and drink her lemonade. "I don't really follow the wonderbolts, or sports in general much. Want to tell me a bit about them?" Beautiful Nightmare asks.

"Well, they're a stunt flyer team, representing some of the best acrobatic pegasi, they also do competitive racing,and also a sort of emergency task force for the princess though with the late times of peace, they're kinda soft in that area," Spark chuckled and shook his head. He used to read a lot on equestrian military of the olden days, when it used to be bad flank.
