CYOA: A Day in Ponyville

Previous ChapterNext ChapterYou wait your turn in line, dancing with excitement. "Do you think it's a good coupon? Maybe 75% off your first purchase?" You try to get a peek at the coupons fleeing with their ponies, but they were going far too quickly. "Maybe there's a special promotion just for opening day if you have one!"
Your friend rolls her eyes at you. "Are you excited or nervous? I know you like shopping, but this seems like a lot of fuss for one store." She leans closer, trying to figure out what was so special about it. "I guess I can't complain too much, I'm right here with you."
You both chuckle and chatter, trying to figure out what sorts of jewelry might be revealed when the store actually opened. As more ponies gather behind you, extending that line, the buzz in the air increases. What kind of deals will this new place offer?
At last, you get to the front, vibrating with excitement. The assistant stallion nods. "Here you go." He holds out a single ticket in his mouth. "Your coupon."
You blink a few times, accepting it. "Oh, thank you!" You take it and walk away, staring at the piece of paper.
Your friend slinks up beside you, just as confused. "I was expecting more fanfare."
"Yeah, so was I." You shrug. "At least we got one." You both look at it. It was a simple 25% off, though it was off all purchases made that day. "Not awful." You float the ticket away into your pocket. "I still want to see what they have, when they open."
Movement catches your eyes. "Is that a Pinkie party?"
Your friend tilts her head to one side. "Looks like it. Want to join the fun?" She nudges against you. "Looks more interesting than waiting for a silly coupon."
