Tailwind flew just beneath the clouds. It had been a long flight from Coudsdale but he had always heard about the rustic and classical feel of Appleloosa and his vacation from the weather factory was as good a time as any. He glided down to the ground and landed in a trot folding his wings into his body. Despite being a pegasus, Tailwind was larger than most stallions and covered ground fairly quickly. He saw a cafe called "starbucks" and licked his lips. The flight had made him rather thirsty and some iced coffee sounded like just the thing. With a steady pull of the door, Tailwind opened the door and looked about. There were several ponies already inside drinking and talking among themselves escaping the heat as well. Looks like he wasn't the only one with the right idea. he walked steadily up to the counter and looked at the menu. There were so many choices and a lot of them sounded really good. Choosing would be difficult, Tailwind merely looked at the menu and tried to narrow it down. boundbytheblade.deviantart.com/art/my-brony-244859532

Daisy nodded curtly at Starburst. She didn't smile at the pegasus' jibe though. *I guess news has traveled back even here to Appleloosa.* Sighing, she got up to walk to the backroom. *I was silly to think that I could outrun my reputation.*
Hearing the pony she now knew was called Apple Cider recall a performance in Ponyville she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic. *I'm still young. I can make a new life for myself here and put my past behind me. Even if my new life means wearing... THIS?* A huge grimace contorted the pretty pony's face. *A MAID'S UNIFORM! THE HORROR! THE INDIGNITY!*
Daisy had to stop herself from flying into a Diva rage about this humiliation. She counted to ten and breathed deeply for a minute before changing into the... outfit. She looked at herself in the mirror hanging in back and shuddered before training her face back into her practiced smile and sauntering back out with a swagger.
"I don't have an instrument with me. I hope that's okay." Daisy said to Starburst. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be. What do you want me to do?"

"There's a button on the player piano on the stage. Just press it and start singing up a storm. Maybe you'll even give Daisy Mae a second coming..." Starburst lets her voice trail off, inspiring the pony. "Enough people hear your voice and like it, I'm sure they'll come every night to hear you sing." Starburst said, welcoming the new pony to the cafe as he sat down.
She trotted up to the pony and said, "What can I get for you?"

Morrow Rose was lucky the carefully balanced fritter did not fall off her hoof as realization hit her what she overheard from Starburst there. A famous singer, singing, now, in the morning, here?
However then the Starbucks owner mentioned every night and the delivery Pegasus wasn't so sure anymore if she would get to see and hear a gig while fully awake.
This morning had started pretty nice already, but that just would have been the icing on the fritters. Reminded of the sweet, she took another bite of it.
Eventually she turned to the singer pony everypony but her seemed to remember, "Maybe you want to give it a try now, I mean to get used to the accoustic and all? I'd sure love to hear you sing."
Just to add, "Oh, where are my manners, I'm Morrow Rose, the resident delivery pony: Morning news, milk, eggs, whatever you need in the morning."

Apple Cider then turned to see the pegasus pony enter the saloon. Whast a motley assortment of ponies: a delivery pony, a cider seller, a singer, and now this new one. "Oh my stars," Apple Cider said to herself, albeit loud enough that other ponies within earshot could hear her, "I haven't seen this many pegesai in this town since I first moved here. Is there some kind of pegesai convention goin' on today?"
She then turned her attention to the male pegasus sitting next to her, clearly looking thristy. "So suga'," she said to him, "You look like you just been flyin' up a storm. Here let me get you somethin'. Whatever you want, its on me. You look like you're about ready to pass out." Yes she was flirting a bit, but it never hurt her before.

Tailwind smiled and took notice of the filly taking his order. He had never been to Appleloosa before so her dress was certainly eye catching and it matched her mane nicely. but before he could answer for his order another filly was already talking to him. They sure were friendly here in Appleloosa, and cute "Well thats very kind of you miss, just a nice cold apple juice will do fine thank you" The place wasnt too busy but it looked like a there was a commotion going on about someone performing. "so whats going on here? It looks like somepony might start singing or something. Once again tailwind had proven himself to have a good timing. not only would he get to enjoy a nice cold drink on this hot morning but he would possibly get a show too.

"It's just a charm meeting you, too, darlin'. Maybe you can be my wake up visit in the mornings. I have a hard time waking up these days on my own." Daisy smiled sweetly.
Daisy wasn't looking to revamp her career. She just wanted a place to lay low and find herself. However if that meant singing for the locals then why not give it her best. She walked over to the player piano Starburst had pointed out. Looking through the reels she found what she was looking for and popped it into place. A quick, jaunty tune started pouring out of the piano, just a little off key. *This piana needs tuning. I'll see if Starburst will let me take a look at it later.*
Daisy heard her cue in the music, took a deep breath, and smiled widely.
"You keep saying you've got something for me. something you call love, but confess. You've been messin' where you shouldn't have been a messin' and now someone else is gettin' all your best."
Daisy hitched up her skirt and hopped onto the bench of the piano.
"These boots are made for trotting, and that's just what they'll do one of these days these boots are gonna trot all over you."
When the instrumental section started, Daisy danced along on the bench kicking out and turning.
"Are you ready boots? Start trotting!"

Starburst nodded at the new pony and sauntered over to her icebox, and pulled out a glass bottle which was cold to the touch. She grasped the bottle tightly in her wing, and popped the cap off with a bottle opener. "Tsssst."
After she grabbed a saucer with her mouth, she loosened her grip on the bottle and let it drop softly onto the plate ( Tink ), which she promptly carted off to the pony who ordered it.
( Clop clop clop clop clop clop )
While delivering the order to the pony, after lowering her head to set the saucer on the table, she whispered into his ear, to not disturb the music. "Would you also like to rent a room for the evening? It will prevent you from having to make a journey back to Cloudsdale until you've been well rested."

It wasn't before Apple Cider mentioned it that Morrow Rose noticed, as well, "If there is a convention, I didn't get an invite, Ms Cider", she replied chuckling, her attention though drawn more to the famous singer pony and if or if not she would give an example of her talent on stage right now.
"... sure thing, I'd like to", she chirped happily, answering to the implied question by Daisy. "It'd be sure nice to have somepony to chat with a bit on my morning route, as most ponies are still asleep when I start."
As the piano started to play the Pegasus' attention was then fully at the stage only, and then as Daisy started to show her talent, singing that quite famous song, Morrow was fully entranced.
Awe-some! I wonder how many other great gigs like that I missed just because they were at another, later time...
She got off her seat and stamped her front hooves on the ground, following the melody of the song. As the song came to its end even her pet bird joined in the excited mood and chirped along the song.

After paying for the male pegasus pony next to her, and chuckling at Morrow's reply, Apple Cider's attention was directed to Daisy Mae singing. That song took her back to hearing her sing at Ponyville. It was like magic to her as the song washed over the saloon. Even when it was over, she stayed silent for the moment, the mind still affected by the singer's words and melody. When it was over she stomped her hooves in applause. "Miss Dosado, you haven't lost yer touch yet. The song was mighty fine!"

Upon the completion of the song Tailwind too stomped his hoof in approval. He made sure to hold back on the power or risk cracking the floor. "that was excellent miss dosado. If you'll be performing here you can count on more of my bits coming in." With that tailwind took another sip of his juice before turning to the hostess pony, "Actually I'm gonna be here in Appleloosa for a week for my vacation and to get some training in, is there any chance I can rent a room for the whole time and if so how much would it cost?

Daisy Mae had not expected such a response. At worst she had expected to be laughed out of town, but applause? That was more than she could have hoped. A small flicker of hope ignited somewhere inside of her and a genuine smile, the likes of which she had not worn in years, spread across her face.
Daisy hopped down from the bench blushing and took a tiny bow. She trotted back over to the bar top and addressed Starburst. "If you think that's good enough, how 'bout showin' me the rest of the ropes round here?"

"For a week stay, At 8 bits a night plus breakfast.. 60 bits." Starburst said to Tailwind. "Also, If you pay using a Ponyplatinum card, Lunch is also included."
Starburst trotted away from Tailwind and moved back towards the bar countertop. "That's more than good enough, If you sing like that every night I suspect that you'll draw even more of a crowd." Starburst said as she smiled, trotting into the back room of the Saloon. After a few moments she came back, A little book tucked under her wing.
She promptly dropped the book in front of Daisy Mae. (If there was dust in the Saloon, it would normally kick up a cloud about now.) "This is a book of all the recipes of everything I make here on a daily basis."
Inside the book was a number of things. Recipes for drinks, pies, cookies, candies, cakes, crumpets, caramel, coffee, fritters, fries, and a myriad of other things in between. Between each of the entries was a colored tab on each of the pages. Each labeled as Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack. At the bottom of each page is scribbled in on the sides of the page in the margins are notes and doodles detailing what goes best with what. In between the sections of pages are amounts of what to prepare in the morning for each coming day.
"Lets test your cooking skills." Starburst said, shuffling through the pages in the lunch section of the book, suddenly stopping on a certain page. "Here we are. Peanut butter and banana sandwich. Make three please. Everything you'll need to make them is in the storeroom in the back."

After enjoying the wonderful song, Morrow Rose gave another stomping applaus, then along with her pet bird on her hat, got back at her seat. "That was awesome!"
Careful, trying to act nonchalant, she looked back at the floor where she just stomped, but to her relieve she couldn't make out any hoof prints on the sparkly clean floor. Still, I need to be more careful when I get carried away like that. Or just clean my hooves before entering the saloon, next time.
The delivery Pegasus returned to her fritters, again realizing how delicious the baked goods were. Continuing like this, this could only be a great day for her.
Overhearing that the new pony in the saloon plans to stay at Starbucks for a while, she turned to Starburst, with a question that popped up on her mind jsut that moment, "Ms Starburst, for the next delivery, you need just the same or any more, since you'll be having a guest?"
