Film Fixer eventually broke the silence and spoke up.

" Um.. hello there!" at this fluttershy shank back and made a "meep" sound. AppleJack scrunched her nose up in slight frustration.

" Good Gravy girl! What's gotten into you?" Fluttershy was now cowering behind Applejack and was looking from behind her at Fixer. Fluttershy was normally shy, but she would usually make an attempt to at least introduce her self. Fixer was looking back in confusion.

" Im sorry , did i say something wrong?" photo asked cautiously. Fluttershy's cheeks had turned a bright red and she wouldn't respond to him. Applejack was trying to nudge her pink maned friend out from behind her, but it wasn't working. Fixer gave AppleJack a nervous look but she shot him a smile and said,

" Sorry about that sugar cube, she's shy but normally not this shy. " AppleJack had on a sheepish grin as she continued to nudge her shy pegasus friend.

" it's ok Miss AppleJack, I need to be going so we'll chat later. " said Fixer as he finished packing his bags with apples.

" Any time sugar cube, don't hesitate to stop by for a chat. We Apples sure do love making new friends!" Applejack said to fixer. Fixer smiled at her and nodded his head as he replied back,

" same to you, and again thanks for the apples."

" No problem!"

Fixer took one last look at Fluttershy who was looking back at him from behind AppleJack's flank. Her teal eyes widened and she shrank back. Fixer's smile went away as he trotted off. Apple Jack waited for him to go, then she looked at Fluttershy and asked,

" Now What the hay has gotten into you girl? Why are you so afraid of him?" Her apple green eyes staring straight into Her friends tyle eyes.

" I dont know! Im sorry! I just can't bring myself to talk to him! "

" YOu looked redder than a red delicious mixed in with the yellow delicious apples!"

" He's kind of handsome!" Apple bloom stated in a matter of fact type of tone.

" Apple Bloom!" Apple Jack shot around and glared at her sister.

"What? He is!" Applebloom looked at her sister in confusion and was ready to defend her opinion but Applejack shot her a look that killed her rebuttal before she could even say it.

" Ugh, ok ok!" AppleBloom was frustrated that her sis still didn't allow her to take part in adult conversations.

" What do i do Applejack?"

" What do you mean sugar cube?"

" Well, you said that you like making new friends. If you two become friends, and he is around more often, how am I going to handle that?" Fluttershy's eyes pleaded for an answer.

" Fluttershy, You just going to have to get over your fear and talk to him, he's a mighty nice stallion." fluttershy blushed a little and said,

" I know..." Applejack looked at her friend who was pawing at the ground. This was a side of Fluttershy that Apple Jack had never seen before and was certainly not ready to handle.

" Well Shy, I guess you should talk to Rarity, maybe she can help ya!" Apple Jack looked at her friend with an optimistic smile.

" Oh ok."

It was now in the afternoon and Fixer was trotting down sturup street with his bags full of groceries. Usually on a day like this when he was getting settled in to a new location, he was thinking about what he had to do next or what errand he had to focus on, However, his mind was wrestling with what had happened in the marketplace earlier. For some reason he felt sad about leaving the way he did. Fluttershy was completely afraid of him, something he was not used to. He was wondering what he had done to elicit such a reaction from her.

Soon he was close to the building he had purchased and was planning on renovating into his new photography studio. The outer walls needed at least four coats of new paint, the windows were all cracked, the Ponyville Post sign was half fallen off and the interior was quite dusty looking, even when seen from out side. Yes, Fixer was in gleeful awe of his new business.

Then he noticed a couple ponies standing in front of his studio reading the sold sign that had been plosted that morning as Fixer had only sealed the deal the day prior to his trip to Ponyville. One of the ponies was an Orange mare with a carrot cutie mark. Her hair was in lighter orange circles. The other mare, was a unicorn with a pure white coat, purple mane and tail, blue eyes and a three diamond cutie mark. To Fixer, the later of the two was definitely from Canterlot since she had the poise and her voice was of the pompous nature. At first he was wondering who she was, but then the other mare spoke her name,

" Rarity, who in their right mind would buy such a place? it's been abandoned for years." The carrot adorned mare was looking at the sign with a raised brow.

" I believe his name is Film Fixer, an entrepreneur just like me! " Said Rarity. She was looking at the shop with an optimistic smile.

" I hear he moved hear all the way from canterlot to start his own brand of photography. I simple can't wait to meet him. Imagine all the business we could receive if we work together." Fixer took this as his cue and he approached the conversing mares.

" Well why wait then?" Rarity and Carrot top turned to look at Fixer.

" Hello, my name is Film fixer, you must be the famous Rarity Who has been stirring up so much commotion in the fashion industry!" Rarity fluttered her eyelashes and smiled at him.

" OH you are such a flatterer Mr. Fixer and I'm please to meet you!" Rarity held out her hoof and Fixer kissed it. He wasn't one for canterlot Etiquette but he did want to impress his potential new business partner.

" The pleasure is all mine Miss Rarity." Fixer then understood who he was talking to, An upstart fashionista with a taste for french design. She grew up in Ponyville and has designed many outfits that have been worn to the Grand Galloping Gala. He has even photographed many of her clients in their prized apparel. This was an opportunity of a lifetime, not to mention that he was talking to one of the bearers of the elements of Harmony, her's being generosity.

" ahem!" Carrot Top cleared her throat. Rarity then gave her an apologetic grin as she motioned to introduce her.

"Mr. Fixer, this is one of my many clients and a good friend of mine, Carrot Top. She is our resident Carrot Farmer." Fixer stuck his hoof out and said.

" A pleasure making your acquaintance Miss Carrot Top." Carrot Top extended her hoof out as well and lightly shook Fixer's hoof. She batted her eyelashes and smiled while she replied,

" The pleasure is all mine Mr. Fixer."

" So Mr. Fixer..."

" Please Call me fixer." He said with a smile.

" Well then, Fixer, how long have you been in town?"

" I have arrived last night, This Town is more beautiful than I could have imagined."

" Yes it is simply charming." Rarity Said. Fixer noded and then looked at his shop.

" Well looks like i have my work cut out for me."Fixer was still staring at his business with awe, Rarity looked at the shop and agreed with him. Fixer trotted up to the door and levitated his key out of his saddlebag and he unlocked and opened his door for the first time. The creaking echoed throughout the building. The place was completely empty save for a few wooden desks, a drafting board and a few pieces of furniture.

" Well I certainly didn't expect this place to be clean but I didn't expect it to be a complete disaster either." Rarity said after sizing up the interior.

"It's dirty alright, but it's not beyond redemption." Fixer stated as he stepped towards the middle of the lobby. His exited gaze fell upon everything in the lobby.

" You know you don't have to come in. " he smiled at the pair of mares.

" As much as I have an aversion to dirt and dust, I'm quite intrigued by the mystery of this building." Carrot Top said.

" As am I, I suppose." Rarity took a tentative step towards the back of the lobby.

" Hold on girls, let me go find the breakers." Fixer made his way to the back of the lobby where it was dark, kicking up dust with every hoof step as he trotted forward. He cast a spell to shine a blue diffused radiating light from his horn, ( something he used a lot when adjusting the lighting in a room for photographs,) and dust danced all around him.

making his way through an open door into a hallway that lead into the back offices, one of them with a label " Photo Dark Room" , he came across old wooden furniture that had been left behind. Some of the pieces of furniture had been stacked at the end of one of the hallways that branched off from the main hallway. Finally he made it to the end of the hallway which lead into a room labeled " Maintenance Room" and he opened the door.

Rarity and Carrot Top stood in the lobby looking around the room with curiosity. Neither one had been inside since they were fillies and they began to reminisce about the old days. Suddenly the power came on with a hum and the lobby had light once again.

" Well Looks like the place has electricity. I didn't think it would be on already." Fixer said as he trotted out from the hallway. Rarity and Carrot Top were looking around the lobby admiring its old time grandeur.

" It won't be long before you have this place open for business!" Rarity chimed at Fixer while fixing her gaze of excitement on him.

" Indeed." Fixer replied. He pushed his glasses up with his magic.
