Alina and Daisy - Adventures

Ch. 4: Lunch

Alina sits on the kitchen table, looking through the bills, “If I can find out her social number, I could call and pay off these things for her” She starts by searching through the closet, then the cabinets, then the bed. “Yes, a suit case right here with all her information.” She goes through her passport and finds the document that had her social security number and banking information. “I shouldn’t be doing this without her permission…but...” She sighs and dials the bank.

“Yes, this is Equestria Union Bank, how may I help you?” A mare asks.

“This is Daisy Dodge, I wanted to pay off some overdue bills.” Alina says.

“Last digits of your social please”

“8812” Alina reads off.

“Perfect, okay Miss Dodge, would you like us to check you balance while we’re at it?”

“Yes ma’am”

“Alright, you have 10,031.51 in savings, 5500.54 in checkings. The bill you have marked for would take about 3000 bits off your checkings. Would you like to run the transaction to pay it off?” She asks Alina.

“…Yes” Alina says. She hears some typing.

“Alright Miss Dodge, bills paid, anything else I can do for you today?”

“No thanks.”

“Have you heard of our new offers on the Black Card, it’ll add points each time you make a purchase over $50 for a gift card, or member benefits. No contract required.”

“Um…no thanks” Alina says, “Have a good day”

“You too Miss Dodge, thank you for your business” She hangs up. Alina stares blankly at the phone.

“She’s going to kill me…she’s going to kill me…” Alina frowns at herself and puts the things away. She then steps downstairs, with her books and begins to read to take her mind off things. She read for about ten minutes until the phone upstairs rang again. Quickly, she runs up and answers, “Daisy’s House…”

“Hello again Alina, just wanted to let you know I’m on my way there to pick you up. Heh, I thought you would’ve left the house by now”

“Yeah…okay, I’ll be ready when you’re here. Hope you don’t mind if I wear some of your clothes”

“If you find something that fits you, go ahead, see you in a few” Daisy hangs up. Alina rushes to find something to wear, she then notices that she is already wearing something of Daisy’s.

“Oh…? When did I put this on?” Alina wonders. Peering out the window, she awaits the return of Daisy.

Within a couple of minutes, Daisy arrives outside, honking. Alina teleports herself outside and gets into the truck with her books, “Where to?”

“I was thinking of going to Las Gallopers. It’s supposed to be good there. Either way, I’m hungry.” Daisy smiles.

“I’ve never heard of that place, is it expensive?” Alina asks.

“It might be…why? I can pay for you”

“Daisy, you’ve done enough, putting up with me.” Alina says.

“True, you are a handful hehe. Don’t worry about it Alina, you’re a good pony” Daisy says.

“I feel really bad about the challenger…I know I can’t repay for the damage that I caused it…” Alina starts.

“Shh it’s okay, I like repairing and putting together cars, so fixing mine will be fun.” Daisy says with a grin, though deep inside she did still feel bad about it.

“O-okay, so this place, what kind of food do they have?”

“I hear it’s like a buffet styled place. So I guess anything” Daisy chuckles. She steps a little more on the petal going ten mph more than the limit. Alina doesn’t comment about it, after all, she was already paying for lunch, had let her stay the night, and she had gotten drunk, thrown up, wrecked her car, then paid her bills without permission.

“Sounds good hehe…” Alina looks out the window.

“Are you home sick or just feeling hungover?” Daisy glances over at her.

“I feel…fine”

Daisy shakes her head, “Nah, something’s up. You’re not a good liar Alina”

“Okay…I um..know you’re going to get mad, but I sorta…paid your overdue bill for you…” Alina says shyly. Daisy slows back down to the limit.

“You did? How on Equestria did you do that??” Daisy didn’t sound mad, more of a confused tone.

“Well…I got into your brief case under the bed and called you bank and paid for it on your account…” Alina says, looking down, “The thing is…the rent company gave a call to your house and threatened to kick you out tomorrow…so I just had to take care of it before something happened to you…”

“Oh Alina…I’ve always been bad at keeping track of those type of things. Thanks for doing that…although, you should have just called me about it before getting into my personal files.”

“Yeah…sorry, I was thinking too much in the moment that I didn’t consider it…I’m a bad pony…can you just drop me off at my house? I got my books with me...”

Daisy looks at her and stops at a red light, “Alina, yeah you’ve done a lot of things to screw up. I’ll admit that’s true, but you’ve put in effort to fix things too.” Alina looks away, “Plus I can’t drop you off back at home”

“Why not…?”

“Because you still owe me a favor, and that favor can be having lunch with me” Daisy smiles. Alina turns to her.

“You’d want that after everything…?” Alina asks, “Like a…date?”

“Oh a date, perfect” Daisy winks, “You can be my date to lunch today.” Alina blushes a bit, “You don’t look half bad in my clothes”

“I-it’s a little loose” Alina giggles.

“That’s the way my clothes its supposed to be…Although, you do look cute in that skirt you had…” Daisy smirks, making Alina blush more.

“Okay now you’re just flirting with me aren’t you?” Alina asks with a little laugh.

“Didn’t have to read that one in a book to tell did ya?”

“Hush you hehe” Alina scoots a little closer to Daisy.

Daisy notices, “What’s this?” Alina rest her head on her shoulder causing Daisy to feel a sudden rush through her body, “I um…okay, just don’t go sleep okay?” She pretends not to like it.

“You said a date, I’ll give you the date experience” Alina rubs her head on her gently, “You smell like car stuff hehe, you sure you want to go eat like that?”

“I don’t mind the smell, plus I have to go back to work afterwards” Daisy tells her as she pulls up to the restaurant. They get off, Alina stays at Daisy’s side.

A stallion at the counter looks at them, “Welcome to Las Gallops. Will it be a table for two?”

“Yes, and include drinks.” Daisy says, taking out the money needed. The stallion takes the money, handing them the receipt.

“Table 6, it’ll be to you left ladies.” He says. Alina goes on ahead of Daisy and scoots into the table.

“This place looks really nice, so we just go get food now?” Alina asks Daisy.

“Yep” She places the receipt on the table and goes to get food; Alina does the same. There was a variety of salads, pastas, green foods, stir fries, and small delicacies.

After settling in, they begin to eat, at least Alina does. Daisy was looking at Alina as she puts food in her mouth. “So Alina…you enjoying the food?”

“Mhm” Alina isn’t paying too much attention to her, the food really did taste wonderful, “You should eat some, how long is your break?”

“As long as I want it to be…” Daisy keeps looking at her.

“I think it’s about an hour right?” Alina asks as she stuffs her face with carrots.

“Y-yeah, you know they have drinks here, I’ll go get some” Daisy gets up and goes.

“Don’t get anything too strong okay?” Alina shouts out, she then takes out a book to read while she eats. “Ooh! Here it is, the part on advance teleporting!” She continues to read, not noticing Daisy come back with the drinks.

“Here you go Alina” Daisy passes it to her. Alina starts to drink it, still reading. Daisy gives it sometime but sees that the alcohol is taking no effect.

“Eat something Daisy” Alina looks up from the book. Daisy nods, starting to eat.

“You um, feeling okay?”

“Yep just reading up on teleportation” Alina finishes the drink, “That one was good, Raspberry coco flavor?”

“Oh uh yeah, want some more?” Daisy asks. Alina slowly nods, resuming her reading. Daisy quickly goes to the bar counter. “Excuse me sir.”

“Yes?” The tender asks.

“What’s your strongest drink?” She asks.

“A Sangria” He says, “Want it?”

“Yes, two please.” Daisy says, showing him her I.D. He nods, and speedily serves them for her. She flies to Daisy. “Here you go, it’s a different flavor, I hope you like it.”

Alina takes it, “Thankies” She starts to drink it, Daisy watches. “Are you waiting for something? It tastes alright, a little sweet though”

Daisy frowns, “Well okay” She eats her own food. Alina stops reading.

“I like this place, we should totally eat here again. I’m going to go get dessert” Alina goes. Daisy looks at the beverages.

“Hmm okay, that’s odd. Maybe she only gets that way with cheap drinks?” She wonders as she eats. “Maybe I spent too much coming here…” Daisy chuckles to herself. She watches as Alina picks up a lot of cheesecake and carrot cake.

Alina comes back with a stack of pastries, “Mm, want some?” She stuffs her face with cheesecake. “Yummy!”

“Slow down there Alina hehe. Studying magic, so are you getting into a good school for that you said?”

“I sure hope so, how about you?”

“I’m comfortable with my current state. I could do this forever.” Daisy drinks her beverage, starting to feel some effects of the alcohol, “Forever…” She smiles, looking at Alina.

“Forever hu? Staying behind on bills and not having enough food at home isn’t a good thing” Alina states, eating another piece.

“But you’re a good thing…” Daisy giggles. Alina turns her head a bit.

“It’s almost time for you to go to work, want any last minute things?”

“Can I have..uh y…”

“Yellow starred flower cake?” Alina passes her a piece.

Daisy looks at it then back at Alina, “Um, yeah okay. I’ll eat this and we’ll go” Daisy consumes it then gets up, walking a bit off.

“Want me to drive?” Alina holds her still.

“I guess…” Daisy gives her the keys. Alina takes them and gets in the truck. She waits for Daisy to climb aboard, buckle up, then leaves.
