Don't forget style, that should be considered! [Visual, filtered from Minato]

[Rainbow is flush with energy to the point of mania today, grinning and eager as she faces down the scrolls.]

Hey everypony, but especially friends of Minato! I gotta get him a really, really amazing present for Hearth's Warming this year. And I don't think my usual standbys are up to it. [Because as much as he could clearly use a good weight set to put on some muscle, she needs to go more special than that!]

So anypony got any ideas? Stuff he secretly likes that he hasn't mentioned to me yet? A real wish of his? I'll take anything, maybe everything! I'm gonna make this an awesome holiday!

[Oho? This was the Dash that had been working as a courier, then? Bon Bon's brow raises and she grins wider.]

Well, if you're an independent service, I suppose I would be willing to barter for, say... a day's worth of Hearth's Warming deliveries? Not today, of course, but some time before the holiday hits.

Heh, you got it. You know there's nopony who can deliver with the speed I offer! [Relieved and now possessing the chance to show off her skills, Rainbow puffs up proudly with a grin.]

True, but Hearth's Warming candy is fragile, too. You'll have to be fast and delicate. I know the pageant in Canterlot would be ruined if so much as one of those giant canes got chipped or cracked...

[She's only providing an example. She isn't actually the one in charge of making those canes this year. (Thank heavens; the one time her father got her that role was the most stressful Hearth's Warming of her life.)]

Hey, what kind of delivery pony would I be if I wrecked what I was shipping? You can count on me, Bon Bon, I'll keep your customers a hundred and twenty percent satisfied!

[samplemygoods]

Satisfaction only goes to a hundred, Rainbow Dash. This is one of those things you can't do twenty percent more. At least, not if you want to run a business. Then the ones less satisfied will start to resent the preferential treatment.

You're being way too literal about this. Come on, ditch the logic and embrace the awesome!
