Hello, I'm Lemon Drop, and I run Sour Drop Shop with my sister; Drizzle Drop. It's nothing much but a candy shop, but we give it everything to be one of the best in the local parts. I should tell you a bit about the family and small history. Our family is a little scattered and messed up, there are eight ponies in total. My mom and dad divorced after my mom was pregnant with me and my sister. Drizzle and I are twins with four older sisters. From oldest to youngest there's; Candy, Chocolate, Taffy, and Minty. Each one have been moving around and getting good jobs, but we've all lost contact with each other after we all moved away. We have many cusions, each one more and more distant from each other, but I think we are related two traveling unicorns that stopped by awhile ago, I'm not sure. The family hasn't been together since Drizzle and I moved to Ponyville, not even letters have been sent. It's kind of sad, but maybe we will all meet up one day, and have a laugh.

The shop is doing well, but we don't get much business due to Sugar Cube Corner about two blocks closer to the center of town, but we have a few ponies drop by and buy the candy they can't get at their store or they like our brands of candies. We don't get much but it's just enough to get us by and make some profit. It also doesn't help that we just moved here about a year ago, but we've managed to have regular customers and there is no real competition because we are a candy shop, not a bakery.

The new princess lives in this town and we've gotten a few more to stop by with the tourists, and that DJ PON-3 lives in town and has stopped by, getting some attention for us and comes by once if month with her marefriend and purchasing some large jaw breakers and chocolate. It's nice for the bits and a few autographs, but they're just two customers out of the few we get to come back. I'm a fan of hers which is amazing, but she got a marefriend so I have no chance with her in a million years. It's gotten crazy lately with the opening a month ago and I guess it's my job to tell you all about what is happening here in our little shop. I should start with the opening of Sour Drop Shop.

It was a nice day out for the second week of Spring, birds were chirping, flowers were blooming, and it's was a good day to open shop for these fine ponies. I looked over to my sister, her brown eyes full of joy and mouth had a wide smile. "Flip the sign already!", she said anxiously.

"Cool it sis, it's the first day, we will be lucky if we managed to get one pony to stop by and browse." I replied after flipping the sign.

"Who do you think will be the first pony to stop by?"

She walked behind the counter and I started checking over the shelves of candy, grabed a gum ball and began to chew on it. "Who knows, maybe it will be the princess herself."

"That would be -", I was cut off by a ringing sound at the door and stepped in the pink party pony herself; Pinkie Pie, followed by a cyan-rainbow pegasus and the princess of who-knows-what; Twilight Sparkle. I looked in awe, why in the name of Celestia were they doing here right after it opens? "Do you think the sell marshmallow animals or rock candy or what about sour candy like the name of the store, Dashie?", Pinkie said with the last of her breath.

"Eh, I don't know, they just opened, look around, as long as it's good.", said Dashie.

Pinkie looked around, spotted me and ran up quicker than I could blink. "How's it going Lemon?"

"It's going fine, but why are you all here?"

"Well, I was super duper curious on what you two were doing and I came down to check it out and say hi to you and your marefriend, also I brought friends to check you out!", she huffed out quickly.

"That's my sister and I don't even have a marefriend."

"Oopsie, i'm sorry, you two did seem like the right match.", she clopped her hooves together and spoke, "Do you have rock candy, marshmallow animals, or chocolate?"

"We have that except the marshmallow animals, but why the hay is the princess here?", I point a hoof twoards the princess.

"Oh. She wasn't busy, so I brought her along with me and Dashie!"

I sighed, turned, and made my way twoards the counter and stepped into the back. Why the buck do I open my mouth sometimes, it only jinxes me or gets me in trouble. I grabbed a box of chocolates and went back out putting some on the small free sample stand we had, and listened in on my sister and Twilight.

"Would you like anything else p-princess?", she said with a nervous smile.

"No. We got what we came for. Thank you for your service.", Twilight said before grabbing the small bag with her magic.

"N-no, no! Thank you for coming in as one of our first customers!", Drizzle said while trying to look professional.

The princess giggled and trotted out with the other mares, and giving Pinkie a piece of chocolate. We stood there and waited for them to leave. Out of all the ponies of equestria, all of them, a princess had to walk through the doors first. We looked at each other when they left sight of the front windows. "That could have gone worse.", said Drizzle.

"Eee-yup."
