In The Cafe
Chapter 5: Chaper Five
Previous Chapter Next ChapterA 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."
