Now, don't wander off Aurora.
We got a lot to do tonight,
and we still need to head by the embroidery warehouse before 3 PM.
Hey, Mom, can we get the one shaped like a car?
I wanna ride in the one like a car.
Sorry, honey; I need one I can put your sister in.
Hey, how about we get some soda, Mom?
A soda sounds like a really good idea.
Now, we already have soda at home, dear.
Oh, just the drink in the store then.
We don't need any soda, Aurora!
I could use a new ball for only four bits. I think it's a pretty much a steal of a deal.
Come on, sweetheart.
Now mom, I need you to listen carefully,
because I'm about to lay down this very practical business proposal.
Now, the cereal you see here,
I know you don't like it as much as the "Sensible Cereal Flakes," but I think we should give it a try!
The box has got entertainment value. If you will look on the back of the box
there's a comic for me to read, and while it looks like the punchline is that
the cereal mascot really likes the cereal,
there is also an advertiser for a free toy.
There's no additional cost, and in today's economy, we... we can't afford to be paid for new toys all the time.
Now, it does contain marshmallow bits.
In fact, it is entirely a cereal of marshmallow bits.
[background] but, it says here that it can be
a complete breakfast...
Also, the box is green; and I think we both can agree that that - oh.
Oh God, how long have I been standing here?
I was enjoying the cereal so much that, time lost all meaning!
Oh no, I knew it! My Mom's already come and gone with the cereal choice.
We parked right here.
There's still time! I can still cut my Mom off before the embroidery warehouse.
[groan] Excuse me,
but you wouldn't happen to know when the next bus arrives would you?
2:15, I think?
Did we miss the bus maybe?
It's 2:15 right now.
I've been here a few minutes. So we haven't missed it yet.
What if the bus came early?
If they came like, 5 or 6 minutes ago,
and we weren't here to see it, maybe we did miss the bus and we are never going to know.
Oh there, it is!
You are late, my good sir!
I think you could certainly stand to be a bit more punctual, because
I am in a pretty big hurry right here.
Excuse me sir, you forgot to pay for your daughter.
Sir?
[sighs]
Excuse me, little girl, are your parents not with you?
Excuse me?
Weird adults talking to a little kid.
I'm supposed to avoid
stranger danger situations.
For that, I need myself a pretty wide bubble without any strangers in it.
Now, are you going to have a stranger danger situation?
Thank you! I can tell by the lack of proximity to me, that you are probably okay adults.
Kid hey, where are your parents?
In the store Mister. No thanks to you;
because of your slow driving, I am nearly late.
I said, you ought to be more punctual, but you didn't listen.
I'm supposed to be at this stop by 2:40.
Oh.
Well, then I am sorry.
You don't think that was our bus. Do you?
Nah, they're supposed to wait if they get here early.
Well I hope so.
The next bus doesn't come by for another half-hour.
Mister, Mister you gotta help me. I lost my mom.
Oh it's all right little girl. What's your mom's name?
Knitty Needles.
[clears throat]
Ms. Knitty Needles. We have your daughter.
Please come to the front of the store.
Ms. Knitty Needles, We have your daughter.
Ms. Knitty Needles, please come to the front of the store.
We have your daughter.
Ms. Needles?
I swear I did not abandon my daughter.
Really, I've no idea how she got in the embroidery warehouse.
See, now this is some pretty good cereal it turns out.
I can't believe that this is a
balanced breakfast!
I mean,
why do ponies even eat "Sensible Cereal Flakes?"
Oh!
Cool! I found a sticker, and it's one of the wonderbolts!
Which one of them do you think it's supposed to be?
Uhh, I think that's Soarin'.
