Frost stood and stretched his wings. After stretching out his legs and neck quick too he agreed with Sherlock, "Yea we best be off too. After all. Got another day of sales," and looking at the longing in Ladybug's face added smoothly, "and a lil filly to escort home." Swamps clomped his hooves in approval on the ground as he lept to his feet. "I'll take care of the check real quick, then we'll be on our way." After throwing his scarf back over his shoulder, he flew off with the check between the teeth before anypony could argue.

OOC: We can probably skip some here if you need too. Like after Frost returns they leave and whatnot.

OOC: Yeah. To just when they meet up again?

OOC: That'll work. Are we going to have Ladybug dropped off first though?
Or just skip that saying it's okay. Cause I really don't know how to post for that...

OOC: Dropping her off would require making characters to be Fluttershy and Ladybug's parents, which I don't particularally want to do, so lets just skip that.

OOC: I feel same. A'right. Want to take us away then?

OOC: Same!

Sherlock's horn glowed green as he packed a backpack with everything he'd felt he'd need on the journey. He was getting really excited for this journey, to meet the heroes who had saved the world twice. It was a thrilling idea. On top of all that, he now had a promising way to write his novel, which he was looking forwards too. In addition, he didn't have to make the journey alone, and that was always a relief.

Sherlock looked around the room once more, making sure he had everything he needed... He put three last things in his bag, something special for his traveling companions. It was Hearth Warming season, after all. He openned the door, locked it, and headed out into the snow to meet up with the group at the diner as they'd agreed too.

---------------------------

Ladybug set on the sidewalk in front of her parents house, having already said goodbye to them and gotten ready. She had a backback, a pegasus model designed specifically to permit her to fly despite having it on. She was excited, unlike her older sister, she didn't like being in one place all the time, she wanted a bit of adventure. She may have been shy and timid, but that didn't dampen her curiousity by any stretch of the imagination. She set and quietly waited for Swamp and Frost to come pick her up. She couldn't wait!

OOC: *Finally picked a color for Swamps.*

Yawning rather loudly, Swamps closed his mouth with a bit of a snap and shook his mane as if ridding it of the sleepiness. The yawn was the closest he ever came to complain though, as he pulled the cart with a content smile. The day was rather busy. They had successfully sold every figure, and that was good news to the earth pony even though he didn't get any of the money from it (not counting meals covered by his friend in thanks for his services). For the cart was lighter to pull. Much lighter. Even with their belongings now packed inside.

Frost glanced down at his friend. Pulling the cart so merrily and at a trot (that he could swear had a bit of a skip to it). He couldn't help but smile himself at the sight, as he flew beside him. "So first we pick up our littlest companion, then the café for Sherlock." he thought out loud "Tempted to stop in for a hot cup with this weather..." He wrapped his scarf tighter around his neck before landing to walk along Swamps and escape the colder air above him.

"Hm? Oh, yeah. Know what you mean." The earth pony replied, a little hard of hearing from his earmuffs. "But I think if we keep walking, that should warm us up plenty."

"True." Frost returned. His chilled wings pulled tight against his warm body, he added, "Ah this is nothing though. As a pegasus pony, I've helped make blizzards after all." He cut himself off from rambling anything else when he noticed a small pony on the sidewalk just ahead.

"Morning, Ladybug!" Swamps called out, and Frost accompanied that with cheery, "Hello!"

"Aww, you didn't have to do that, hun." Frost said, but accepting the gift all the same. He didn't want to be rude declining it, not with that sweet face of thoughtfulness. Swamps accepted his as well, the pegasus noticed, as it was dropped gently at his hooves. The two ponies exchanged glances for a moment before sharing a smile. "As it so happens, we have something for you too!" Frost said to Ladybug as he smoothly set his present near Swamps, flew to the back of the cart, and pulled from it the masterly sculped ice figure of the little filly's sister, with a small red bow perched nicely on top. "It was Swamps idea to hide it from our customers today." As Frost handed it to Ladybug, his friend smiled bashfully and only added, "We hope you like it. Something to keep you company while you two are apart."

OOC: This was a cute idea. However I have no idea what Ladybug could've gotten them, so you can tell about them opening the gifts if you like.
