Wednesday is the next day you have off of work. Tuesdays are usually your short work days, but you had to do some shift switching to get a meeting with the Apple family tomorrow. Lots of bars across Equestria have been trying to get stock of their famous ciders with no luck, but a common business partner has convinced them to consider at Sliders' Point. The oldest sister of the family wanted to set up a casual meeting to feel you and your motives out, and you're hoping that your intentions to create new recipes with the cider will make it clear you aren't a drop-shipping businessman looking for a quick buck.

Now that you think of it, volunteering to teach a lesson at the youngest sibling's camp may put you in their good graces as well.

You text Rumble back, saying that Wednesday would be the best day and for the CMC to set you a time to be there. You also ask about how many foals you'll need supplies for and if there are any names he wants to give you.

You look back up at the raceway. Perky is sitting on the sidelines chatting with the other filly, but this time he's turned away from you in a way that could give you a bit of a peak.

You distract yourself by looking back at your phone. You start to type a message when you get another response from Rumble. He says there are 11 foals, but that the CMC are trying to get more.

You have roughly 5 ice cream scoops at home, enough for them all to take turns. Paper towels, straws, and glasses are no problem to get a hold of. Ingredients you can buy, though what ingredients specifically you'll need depends on what kind of shakes or smoothies each foal wants. You only have two blenders in your house and would need more, plus some way to power them all. Considering such, the lesson would probably have to be indoors somewhere. The only other things to come to mind would be using a cart from Sliders' to transport everything, and the need to sit down and organize your lesson plan.

You express your need for blenders, electricity, and what flavors everyone wants to Rumble. He doesn't respond for a short bit as he reaches out to Apple Bloom, so you tell him about the race so far. The two of you chat back and forth for a bit while waiting, talking about what each other are up to. Rumble mentions heading up to Cloudsdale for a Wonderbolt event soon, and teases you when you mention meeting a cute colt at the race.

You ask him if he knows a cheer leading colt and send off the message as the crowd begins to mutter and draw their attention. You tuck your phone away as everyone perks up, the cheerleaders getting into position as the same two carts in first and second pull around the bend.

You hear a soft flapping of feathers and a soft weight ease onto your back and shoulders.
"T-told you I'd be right back!"

What do you do?
