Mandrake was expecting some backlash, the pink filly or someone else she had upset telling her to get lost, but instead she was greeted with an excited smile. Her eyes went wide, lighting up with a different kind of nervousness -- a positive kind. At Candy's quip about her family being a pain, Mandrake grinned and let out a short chuckle. She had that, too! Though she loved all of her brothers and sister, sometimes there was a little too much going on or disagreements were had. That seemed normal after she mentioned it, though, and Mandrake felt a little relieved. At her next question, the navy furred filly's ears went back and her smile faltered. Really? It was that easy? "Uh... s-sure! Yeah!" Mandrake's voice returned to its normal strong (and perhaps a little overly exuberant) volume. Her tail bristled with excitement, a genuine smile directed at Candy Dandy and anyone else in the area before she was caught off guard by the dark pegasus' nuzzling. "Good idea," she grinned at Moth-Drops, giving back a quick nudge of her forehead against the other filly's side and trotting over toward Pink Lemonade. "Hey. What all ya got?"

The pink filly grinned, watching Mandrake smile back. That was what the filly needed. A smile! Now that her new friend was in a better mood and was off getting something to drink from another colorful filly, Candy focused once again on her pot of boiling things, happiness bubbling in her heart.
She could see why Mandrake was upset at first. She liked doing things with her family, and sometimes doing things with just family members was a lot of fun and made her feel super special. That was what Mandrake was looking forward to. So when everyone else came around...
But Candy was glad that Mandrake came around. All it took was someone coming up and offering friendship. And now everyone was happy again! And she had a new friend!
Her mind whizzed with ideas for something she could make for her new friend. Maybe a basket with licorice flowers, or cookies shaped like bunnies and carrots! or even something chocolaty....
Generosity Obtained!

Pink Lemonade didn’t mind having a clingy friend, as long as they were also willing to do whatever she told them. Surrender seemed nice enough anyway, and if he wanted to be best friends, she had no problem with it. “Let’s go!” The filly followed Surrender towards the door, only coming to a halt when she was addressed by Mandrake.
“Hang on there Surrender.” PL turned her perky smile upon Mandrake, Moth-drops and Candy Dandy. “We’re just about to head out and start delivering these pies. There’s a pitcher of lemonade just on the table over there…” She nodded to where she’d left the drinks. “I’d sure serve you myself, but I promised to help out with getting these pies out and we don’t want them getting cold!”
[TAG TO: um… Surrender, Mandrake, Candy Dandy, Moth-Drops… I think those were the ones talking to PL. xD]

Lullaby gave a big happy smile when he saw that Mandrake was making friends and had gotten over her initial dislike of so many helpers intruding on the family. He knew she had a good heart and he was glad everyone else could see it now too.
“T-thanks Captain Knots.” Lullaby murmured, accepting the new load of fruit and vegetables from his sister. He got to work peeling and set up another pot to start boiling. He didn’t mind when the others seemed to wander off to other tasks, remaining focused on what he was doing.

"Oh! Right. Sorry," Mandrake twitched her tail, feeling a little silly for approaching when Pink Lemonade was busy with such an important task, but the striped filly didn't seem too bothered and directed she and Moth-Drops over in the direction of drinks in the mean time. "Thanks and, uh, good luck with the deliveries." She offered Pink and Sweet Surrender a sheepish smile before nodding her winged friend in the direction of the table. Trotting over, Mandrake fiddled with the cups and managed to grab two, sitting them up right. "You want pink or yellow lemonade, Mothy?" she asked, grabbing the pitcher of pink liquid, handle in her teeth, and pouring.

"I've always been a regular ol' yellow lemonade gal myself," said the black-pelted filly, grabbing her cup and the pitcher of yellow. "Thanks for hauling this stuff all the way over here, Lemonade Lady!" She'd been fluttering around all day, and that could take a lot out of a pegasus her size. As she prepared her drink, she thought of all she'd seen that day. She was glad that her friend had gotten over being upset, and she was actually a little bit surprised at how much fun she'd had just helping out. In a way, it was like the kind of gift that kept on giving. Who knew that generosity had so many applications?

(( Wrapping it up with a post! ))
From then on Knots had learned that having such a bounty didn't feel quite as satisfying or comforting as being able to share all the good things you had in life in the company of good people and good friends.
Help and offering help made the job go by a little faster, too!
