The next morning I felt somepony shaking me. It was Liylic. I struck up like lightning and without making eye contact, asked her the time.

"EIGHT FIFTY-SENVEN!!!" She yelled. She wasen't angry, she just didn't like to see me later for work.

"Leonty is outside waiting for you! Quickly! Here's your work clothes and i paked your lunch!!" She said, almost not taking a breath. I kissed her goodbye and shot outside.

Leo and I sprinted to the Cafe.

"Do- Do- Do you--" He was trying to ask me something but he was out of breath from running. We stopped for a second and he sat down.

"Do you think we'll get fired if we're late?" She said.

I laughed and started jumping "YUP!!!"

We got there on time, but only by a minute. I slid behind the counter and threw a mop over to Leo. "It's YOUR TURN" I said smiling. He raised the mop and lowered it again. "HORRAY!" He said sarcasticly. I opened the till and started counting.

Chaper Five

A Few customers (only four or five) bought something during our shift. The two next employees walked in talking. Leo gave the one on the left a high hoof and I gave the guy on the right a brohoof. "There's around 120 in the till." I said, pointing to the till. The pony nodded and jumped behind the counter. The other pony started re-aranging the fridge.

We were just leaving when a bright purple pony shot into the cafe.

"Whoa. What's the rush Liylic?" I said, calming her down. She was bouncing around the room with joy.

"THENEWDARINGDOOBOOKJUSTCAMEOUTANDIFORGOTMYMONEYANDIWANTYOUTOBUYMEITNOWNOWNOWNOWNOW!!" She was bouncing off the walls (Not literly of corse)

"Right! Ok! I get it! Let's  Go!!" I said galoping out the door

We reached the store and the clerk brought out a golden coloured (im british :P) book.

"How much?" I asked.

"20 bits, sir." he said. I pulled out 12 bits. Lylic how much do you have?

She pulled out 3 bits. Leo? Do you have any money? He pulled out 3 bits.

"How 'bout 18 bits?"

"20"

"18"

"TWENTY BITS!!!!!!...... sir.."

We left the store and I kicked over a bin. Lylic was trying to clam me down.

"It's OK, we'll get it tomorrow."

"It's not that! I NEVER buy you ANYTHING!! I never give you gifts!"

"Hey! That's not true!"

"YES IT IS!! IM TERRIBLE TO YOU!"

"No! You are the best pony I have ever met!"

Leo took a few steps back.

Nopony spoke the whole way back.

Chaper Six

I waited untill Liylic was fast asleep until I snuck out. I purchased a vase of roses and some chocolates. I bought the Daring Doo book plus a couple of other books.

I set roses going in a trail down to the living room. I set the chocolates facing the door. The Daring Doo books were behind the chocolates, so she didn't see.

I grabbed a staw and some tissues. I started firing spitballs at her until she woke. I bolted downstairs and hid behind the counter.

She walked in holding the roses in her mouth and dropped them as she gasped.

"SURPRISE!!" I yelled.

She started to cry. I put my roght arm around her and stood on two hooves. We sat down on the couch and I asked her if she liked it.

She cried even more and hugged me again. I took that as a yes. She let go and opened her new book. I walked outside and picked up the mail from the mailbox. I came inside and opened the letter. I stared reading. Reading. Reading. Then I blacked out.

I woke in a pure white room. surrounding me where curtains and my girlfriend.

Liylic was clasping my hoof. I lay back. She let go of my hoof. I didn't like that.

"Whu- Where's Leonty?" I murmured.

"That's what the letter was about. He's left Ponyvile."
