Apples and More Apples - Open

[the_perfect_pear]

There's a new stand next to the Apple Family Cart. While it was normally seen for it's apples, a surprising amount of Pears and pear produce was there, with the okay of Granny Smith that was. With the return of Pear Butter to the landscape, ponies were coming out of the woodwork to help support the displaced mother of three.

It was here that Pear had gotten out of her funk and had made some pear-and-apple jam. Something to integrate herself back into the family.

"Get your jam here, apple-pear jam, just four bits a jar! Sir? Ma'am? Want to try it out?"

"Right then, lets see what I can come up with..."

He sets in to work on what looks like a large, wooden bushel basket, tipped on it's side with all kinds of items spilling out. Skyfire stops now and then to go look around the market, carving matching items that match as many items as he can to what the various shops and stalls are selling.

It takes him a couple of hours, but by the time he's done it looks pretty good. He's good enough at carving that most of the 'products' in the basket are recognizable as being from the market, even if they're only white.

Finally happy with it, he goes back to ask Pear for a second opinion. "What do you think?"

Pear nodded, having finished with her sales for the time and was eating an apple when she came out to inspect it. "It looks good!" She exclaimed, wandering around the statue.

"It's very nice, I wish I had a camera."

Skyfire's ears perk and he looks slightly flustered by the praise, like he's not really used to it.

"Thank you..." He ponders for a moment then suggests "Well, it should last quite a while as long as the cold holds... Perhaps someone can take a photo of it for you?"

"I'm thinking so, we'll have to find somepony with a camera then," said Pear, nodding. "For now, I think letting it stand there for now is a good idea. It looks like a nice centerpiece for the market."
