Two mares, Starlight Glimmer and Trixie Lulamoon, have arrived outside of the supermarket. But before they got in, Starlight needed to discuss certain things with her friend.

"So, due to the both of us not having a lot of bits, we need to really think about what we buy and how much it costs-"

"No need to worry, Starlight." Trixie interrupted her, then took out a brown tiny sack. "I have all the bits we need right here." she opened the bag, but found nothing inside. "WHAT?!"

"What's wrong?"

"ALL MY BITS ARE GONE!" Trixie screamed.

Starlight then saw a few ponies around her giving the two mares weird looks. "Quiet down. Ponies are staring at us. And besides." Starlight's horn glowed and her magic aura grabbed the sack. "You wasted them all on peanut butter crackers."

Trixie looked away. "It was necessary. How can I live without them?"

Starlight rolled her eyes and gave the sack back to Trixie. "Which is why I said that we need to ration our bits and be careful about what we buy." she got out a sack and opened it. "I am estimating we have about 50 bits. That should be enough since the food normally costs 3 or 5 bits."

Trixie's magic aura then swiped the sack away and levitated one or two bits from the sack. "Trixie wants to ask, how did you manage to gain all of these bits?"

Starlight grabbed the sack away with her mouth. "Starlight wants to ask if we can just go to the supermarket and not continue stalling." she then walked away from her friend and headed to the entrance.

"That's not a question, Starlight." Trixie said as she followed her.

Starlight liked the jingle she heard as she walked into the store. While it may be a short melody, Starlight sometimes hummed the tune when she's not alone.

I need to know the name of that tune. Starlight thought with determination, but shook her head. The song is not important at the moment. She had a job to do: Make sure that they bought enough stuff within the budget and make sure Trixie doesn't screw up.

Speaking of Trixie... she was so caught up with the tune that she didn't notice that her friend was missing.

Annoyed, Starlight went to look for her. Eventually she found her staring at a vending machine with packets that had crackers inside them, with a peanut dip nearby.

"Stay focused." Starlight prodded Trixie with her hoof. "You've literally bought hundreds of those things already."

Trixie smacked her hoof away. "Starlight, you know that I need more of these. You never know. I may run out of them in a few days."

"Now you're being overdramatic." Impatient, Starlight caught Trixie's tail with her aura the color of aqua and dragged her away, while Trixie was screaming for the crackers.

Why Trixie likes the crackers so much, Starlight has no idea, and probably never will.

After that, Starlight looked over at the shopping list that she made and showed it to Trixie. "Of course we need the essentials." she prodded over to the fruit section, where she grabbed a few apples and strawberries, while Trixie had her eyes on a blue brush. "This will do well with Trixie's mane." she mumbled to herself.

Next, she headed over to the activities section, where she saw a few kites displayed nearby. Starlight immediately zoomed over to the kites, leaving a confused Trixie behind. Starlight looked at the prices. It was only 15 bits.

"Discount!" she said excitedly. "These things are usually expensive!"

A skeptical Trixie padded over to another pair of kites, but then she looked at the prices and was shocked to see that some of them was over 60 bits.

"Nah." Trixie said in disbelief. "A kite like cannot this be that expensive!"

"But it is." Starlight said as she padded on. "Kites are sacred."

"Uh huh..." Trixie said, weirded out. Ever since Starlight had shown her love of kites, Trixie was amazed that a former communist like her would always have a love for kites, even in her villain days. But then again she always loved peanut butter crackers in her days of villainy...

But Trixie shook the thought from her head. Being corrupted by an evil amulet was bad, but she didn't have control over its power and it possessed her, but despite that, her crimes were nowhere near as bad as Starlight's.

A bored Trixie followed Starlight around the store. She was grabbing items, checked the prices, and crossed them off on her list.

"Its going great! We just need a few more things then we can pay."

Then something caught Trixie's eye. She immediately stopped. "Wait, you're not going to stop to ask if I want anything?"

Starlight stopped too and turned to her friend. "Sorry Trixie, I've been caught up recently that I haven't ask you what you wanted." she tossed a brown sack to her friend. "According to my calculations, we only have 37 bits leftover, so I believe you should be good to go. And please don't go overboard." she said as she rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't because all Trixie needs is one thing." she said proudly.

Starlight's pink ears twitched. "And what's that?"

“All I need is-” Just then, something caught Trixie’s eye, and Starlight eventually followed her gaze.
