Chapter 10
"Good morning! May I help you?" I walked right up to the counter where the mare was working. She coffee tan, her eyes were chocolate brown and her mane was in a bowtie which was also dark brown. Octavia was still in the front near the door. I tugged at her bow with my magic to get her attention.
"What?" She looked at me like I just asked her to do something really stupid.
"Tavi we're here for you not me come on" she rolled her eyes and looked at the mare behind the counter as I talked to her. "Yes you can help us my marefriend here would like to apply here temporarily please" She looks at me confused for a second then quickly walked to the back room. A few seconds later she came out with a stallion in a business suit. He was banana yellow, he had a short cut black mane and dark mustache and beard.
"you're here for the job I heard but I only have one opening so only one of you are going to get a job" Octavia looked behind us to the empty shop. she was about to say something but i put a hoof up and spoke to the manager.
"Sorry sir but only one of us is here for a job. My marefriend here, Octavia, is out of a job and would like to see if she can work here." He looked at tavi for a while then back at me. It was a few seconds of tension but finally he spoke.
"Well alright she's hired all she has to fill out is a resume and she can bring it in tomorrow and start then. Hows that sound?" he held out a piece of paper towards octavia. She looked at me. I think it was for approval so i nodded to her and she took the paper and we walked home. We got home around noon and i was hungry. octavia went right to the table and started working on her resume. I went to look in the fridge. there wasn't that much in there but i found an apple to hold me over until me and tavi decided on something for lunch. I levitated the apple out of the fridge, shut the fridge with my hoof and went to clean the apple. With the apple clean i took a bite, it was delicious straight from sweet apple acres. I love myself some good crunchy apples. i went next to octavia and put my hoof over her shoulder as i ate my apple and watched her fill everything out. Finished she held up the resume and smiled.
"I can tell you're happy tavi, now…. any ideas for lunch?" She put the paper in her bag and looked back at me and giggled. "What? its past twelve i bet you're hungry too."
"I am quite hungry. ummm what's in the fridge." I used some magic and opened the fridge door to show tavi it was empty. "oh yes, i forgot to go get some food. ummm any ideas?" I rolled my eyes and shut the fridge door.
"not really… how bout' we just go shopping?" She looked at me with a weird look then laughed.
"why didn't i think of that? yes let us go shopping, its a quick walk to the store anyways. Vinyl how about you make a list of what we need then we'll head out." I turned around telekinetically grabbed a napkin and pen. i put the pen down after writing "EVERYTHING" on it and floated it in front of tavi's face. She waved it away and turned to me with a smirk. "i know any specifics?"
"nope lets just go i'm starvin'!" i put an arm around tavi and pointed to the door with my other hoof. "out there… there's a store full of things designed to cure our perpetual hunger… OFFWARD!" She giggled and opened the door.
