Purrs, Paws and Collars

Fluttershy and the two apple siblings were walking side by side, with collars on, Applejack's collar, made with sturdy and robust leather with three apples stitched into it.

Apple Bloom's collar was a lot thinner and was knitted by Fluttershy for her birthday. Bloom had treasured it immensely and wore it constantly. Even on the day's that they weren't going to hang with their other friends.

"Fluttershy, can we stop for a bite to eat? All this walkin' is makin me right hungry."

Fluttershy looked over to Applejack, who was walking next to her holding her hand.

"What do you think, Jacky?."

"Sure, there ain't no harm in it; better to refresh, especially in this heat."

The trio stopped at Bon Bon's Café & Delicatessen and took a seat outside under a large parasol.

A melodic voice sounded from outside, and a girl with light green hair jogged out with a waitress outfit.

She waved and approached the only occupied table.

"Hey guys, good to see you."

"Oh, hello, Lyra. You seem quite happy today."

"What's not too like Fluttershy? It's sunny. I get to see my friends and Bon Bon, and I are celebrating our first anniversary together."

"Well, congratulations, Mrs Heartstrings. I'm pleased for ya."

"Thank you, Applejack, but there is no need for formalities. Lyra is fine."

Applejack tipped her hat to Lyra.

Apple Bloom chimed into the conversation while searching the menu.

"Are you and Bon Bon going to be doing anything to celebrate?."

"Oh no, just going to be relaxing, nothing too special she likes to rest after work, so maybe we will watch a movie or just stay at home...anyway enough about me, what did you guys want to order?."

Fluttershy ordered a Tea and Club Sandwich, Applejack ordered a white chocolate milkshake with a Grillin, Chillin extra spicy burger and Apple Bloom had the Magical Mango Smoothie and a Walnut Salad.

Lyra gave them the thumb's up and jogged back inside to relay the orders to Chef Bon Bon.

Fluttershy systematically scratched behind both her pet's ears then started to rub their backs. They both leaned their heads on one of Fluttershy's shoulders, enjoying the calm and silence.
