A Day To Ourselves

Previous Chapter

"Finally! I was going to go crazy being cooped up In there." Thorax says as he starts stretching a bit right outside the building door.

"Yeah, as much as want to make a snarky comment I actually would like to see what these Ponies do to relax. " Pharnyx said

"Well when Thorax Is done we can go and see what there Is to do." I suggest

"I'm done, let's go!" Thorax exclaims as he starts to walk off.

"Wait, who's going to carry our bits?" I ask causing Thorax to freeze.

"Oh yeah, uh I mean I can carry It, not that big of a deal." He says lifting the bag up

"Alright well In that case "Autobots, roll out." I exclaim pointing out into nowhere causing Pharnyx and Thorax to look at me confused. "Nevermind let's just go." I say sullen as we finally start to walk off finding something to do.


We began walking down the grassy road not really having a destination In mind for the first time until I started to see a familiar building appear on my right.

"Hey why don't we go In there." I say pointing at a building that looks like a real life gingerbread house

"These Ponies have a weird way on how they build stuff." Pharynx said

"Well I like It, and In my opinion Its much better then anything the Hive had. Besides I would rather have weird and bizarre buildings to look at then having to look at the same type of rock for the rest of your life." Thorax said as we began to walk Inside

"Well It Is definitely different I'll give them that." Pharynx said

'Sugarcube Corner, Jesus It will never not be crazy to see these places that once belonged In a fictional tv show.' I thought to myself before I come back from my thoughts seeing a hand waving In my face.

"Joseph you ok?" Thorax asked

"You were doing that thing again where you were looking off to nowhere." Pharynx explained

I shook my head looking back at them with a reassuring smile. "Yeah don't worry about It just, thinking about stuff." I said

"What kinda stuff?" Thorax asked intrigued

"Just, memories." I said

Thorax opened his mouth to say something but paused and closed his mouth as he looked back at me. "Well alright, lets see what this place has to offer." He says as we walk up to the counter

I move infront of him to ring the bell that was on the counter creating a ding sound which causes them to jump a bit while looking around In confusion.

"Calm down Its just this thing." I say pointing at the bell on the counter

"Really, why would Ponies need such an annoying sound?" Thorax asked

"I don't know, probably to get eachothers attention when they need It?" I suggest as Thorax adopts an thoughtful expression on his face

"Oh hello boys how can I help you today?" A voice says as we can hear them getting closer until we see a figure come out from upstairs revealing a mare who looked to be about In their late 30s with light blue fur while wearing pink pearls for earrings and a apron with an white and yellow covering and three little muffins on the bottom left of It as well and also wearing a ring on her finger as well.

"Well Ms I think my friends and I would like to have a nice simple cake that we could take with us." I say taking the bag from Thorax

"OK dear that'll be ten bits and we'll have that nice and packed for you to go." She said with a calm smile as I put ten bits on the counter walking off to the side with the guys as we waited a couple of minutes making small talk until we got called up, got our cake, and walked back outside where I decided to go and get some paper for Lectul before returning back to the guys.


"Well, I definitely think we'll be fine staying here for the rest of our lives." Pharynx said while taking glances at the box that I was holding

"I know, the amount of love that's In this box Is astonishing, Its better then anything the Hive could've produced and we haven't even eaten It yet." Thorax agreed looking at the box out if the corner of his eyes.

"Well how about we find somewhere to sit and then we can have some of this cake." I suggested

"Finnne, but I want the first bite." Pharnyx said quickly

"Hey no fair, I wanted the first bite." Thorax said a bit upset

"Sorry bro, should've been faster If you really wanted It." Pharynx said shrugging his shoulders causing Thorax to mumble under his breath.

We kept walking down the road as we finally saw a bench allowing us to sit down and finally open the box which revealed a nice decent sized cake with no added on additions making It jus lt a plain cake.

"Alright, everyone take a piece." I say before we all grab a piece making cringe on the inside but I ignored It to instead focus on the familiar tasty flavor of a nice simple cake and dare I say Its probably better because of the love I'm getting from It as well.

I finish eating my piece as I look to my sides as I see Pharynx and Thorax still chewing on theirs. "So Is It good?" I ask

They both swallow before looking at me, then at the box, then back to me before Pharynx clears his throat.

"Um Joseph?"

"Yes Pharynx?"

".....may we have some more of what's In the box?" He asked

I pretended to think about It before a second before grabbing another piece for myself before opening the cover all the way. "Go ahead." I say before they dive Into the box grabbing another piece eating them as they seem to melt Into the bench from how good It tastes to them.

"I think we'll definitely be ok here." Thorax said as he took another bite

"Oh yeah, for sure." Pharynx agreed before also taking another bite

Chuckling, I ate another piece of my cake looking off Into the distance quietly for a bit until I added In my two cents. "Yeah, we sure will."
