Ch. 2 Lunchtime talks

The interior of the café, in one word could be described as homely. As soon as you entered it then you in a way felt the feeling of being warm and having fun. With the classic pendants on the walls, counter/selection area in one corner (with barstools at the counter), tables and booths laden all over and a soundstage towards the back it was no wonder the place got so much attention. Anyway, the four teens sat at their favorite booth, right next to the soundstage. A waitress came rollerskating towards them with water and menus ready.

"Well hi, there! Welcome to Mad Mac's! Today's specials are carrot soup and grilled cheese sandwiches or, for our Batpony customers we have roasted chicken with hayfries. May I take your order?" The unicorn waitress asked in a sweet tone.

The group looked at their menus (Crystal helped Log pick out what he wanted) then they ordered.

"I'll have the special please. But can I have hayfries instead of crackers with my soup?" Seasalt asked as she ordered.

"Sure thing sugar!" The waitress replied.

"Can I have the grilled sunflower sandwich with hayfries please!?!"  Log roller asked rather loudly.

"Log, indoor voice Bro!" Silver blade reminded his friend.

"It's quite alright hun! If I may ask...does he happen to do that often?" The waitress asked.

"We're sorry, it's just that he has Autism and sometimes can't control his speech volume." Crystal Night responded understanding what she meant.

"Anyways, I'll have a grilled pulled pork sandwich with hayfries please." Crystal Night ordered.

"Alrighty hun!" The waitress said as she wrote down the three orders. "And for you?" She indicated to Silver blade.

"Oh, I'll just have what she's having if that's ok." Silver responded wile indicating to what Crystal ordered.

"Alrighty then! And does anyone here want anything to drink?" The waitress asked once more. They all responded with various types of soda to which the waitress wrote the selections down and left to have their orders filled.

After she left, there was an uncomfortable beat of silence. That is until Crystal Night decided to break it.

"Okay....is it just me or was that waitress being a bit rude asking about Log." She asked around the table.

"Yeah, now I'm not one to talk bad about somepony- oh who am I kidding? I'm ALWAYS talking shit about everypony!" Seasalt laughed. "But seriously though, she was kinda being a bit rude." She finished.

They continued talking about their days' until the waitress returned with their drinks. She looked at Log roller and gave him a obviously forced smile as she turned to leave.

"She seems nice." Log roller said, this time in a normal indoor voice.

"Hmmm....I wouldn't be so sure about that Log." Silver blade said.

"Yeah....on another note, is anypony coming to Vinnie's party tonight?" Crystal asked nonchalantly.

"Hay yeah I am! Girl you know I don't pass up a party...EVER!!" Seasalt replied excitedly.

"Man, it's been too long since I've seen Vinyl Record...let alone gone to one of his parties!...I'm in!" Log roller replied happily.

Just as Silver blade was about to respond, a different waitress came and served them their food.

"Excuse me, but where is the unicorn waitress that was just serving us?" Crystal Night asked confused.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but she just went on her break. She kinda left me to serve you guys if that's alright with you." The earthpony waitress said.

Everypony looked at each other in a knowing sense before Silver blade responded.

"Well...that's okay...at least we know what happened. Right guys?" He said to which the others nodded and began to eat.

(About an hour later)

The four teens ate, paid the bill, and left (but not before Seasalt had a few "words" with the manager/owner). They all went back to Crystal's house, where they proceeded to chill until close to when the party was to start.
