After seeing Tom, Nikki went back to the landscaping company to continue her work.

Mare 25: You get to see Tom again at Wawa?
Nikki: Shut up. *Laughs*
Mare 25: When are you going to ask him out?
Nikki: We're only friends.

Another mare walks over to them.

Melanie: Can any of you help me find a tree?
Nikki: I got you covered.
Melanie: Thank you. By the way, I'm new to Ponyville. I'm Melanie Lockmann.
Nikki: I'm Nikki West. Put 'er there. *Shakes hooves with Melanie* So what kind of tree are you lookin' for?
Melanie: Anything with some nice leaves, or flowers on it. Show me the prettiest trees you have.
Benny: *Sitting in a black Audi* Melanie should have been back by now. *Steps out of the car, and grabs a lighter. He lights a cigarette, and starts smoking* I knew I should have gone with her. *Walks towards a big red barn*

The two mares were far from Benny. The tree section was huge.

Melanie: Wow Nikki. You weren't joking when you said there would be lots to choose from.
Nikki: I got the same reaction from many of my customers. Take as much time as you need.
Benny: Your time is up! I want to go back home.
Melanie: Come on Benny, we just got here.
Benny: *Pointing his cigarette towards Melanie* You do as I say, or else.
Nikki: You ain't mentioned this gentle colt to me Melanie.
Melanie: We're dating. His name is Benny.
Benny: That's right. Don't you try to steal my mare from me.
Nikki: I'm not a lesbian.
Melanie: I'm sorry Nikki. When I have enough time, I'll come back.
Benny: I doubt you'll ever have the time to come back. We got work to do, and I gotta buy more cigarettes.

Nikki watched the unfortunate pair leave.

Nikki: Smoking really is a bad habit. I bet he was much nicer before he started smoking.
