A/N The rest of my first working day. Show some love for the fic by reviewing, faving, following, or any combination of the three. I love you all in a completely platonic way!
P.S. The word count, excluding the A/N, was 666. Just felt like sharing.
Chapter 14: Baked Goods: Part 2
As I made my way to the next house (Thunder Clap, 4 Horseshoe Road) I thought about the previous night. Man, that BJ was insane; but I really need to make sure I don't get sucked into Rainbow Dash's 'fuck buddy' relationship and instead try to make a legit bond thing between us. I turned left and checked that I was still on track.I then had another thought, How am I gonna do that while I'm on some fucking quest to destroy all these portal things? Should we go together? I wonder if she'd be up for that...I dunno. Maybe I could bring the others as well. That might get complicated, though. Too many distractions and stuff. Plus, too many ponies to walk into me and Dash's 'personal time'. I really have no idea. What if Celestia forbids them from accompanying me? That would suck. Damn. So I guess my mom isn't human and is instead a pony. That's weird. And what was the 'force' that governs the logic and stuff of the portals? It has to be a consciousness, otherwise it would've figured out that there wasn't two of me. It can't be an omniscient consciousness, either then; for the same reason. Which rules out God, or any god, for that matter. I wonder if there are any non-omniscient gods? (A/N If there are, tell me in a PM or something. Please.) What if it's a human or something…? That'd be super weird. I realized that I'd walked a block past my destination during my musings. I backtracked and approached the front door.
I knocked and the door was opened a few seconds later bya middle-aged-looking stallion. I handed (hoofed?) him the cake he ordered. "Thanks, son." Thunder said. "You're welcome, sir." I glanced at the receipt and said, "That'll be 14 bits, sir." "Of course, one moment please." He said and walked into his home, most likely in search of his wallet. He returned about 15 seconds later with a coin purse in his mouth. He set it down on a side table and rummaged through it. He finally got ahold of the bits and dropped them into my outstretched hoof. "There you are." He said. "Thanks, sir." I replied, and magicked the bits into my pouch. "Have a nice day." I said in farewell as Thunder closed the door. I saw him wave through the crack in the closing door. He was a cool guy. Ok, I'm gonna run back and tell Mrs. Cake that I'm going on lunch break. So I did. I cantered to Sugarcube Corner to see a line of 9 ponies at the counter. Damn, is it always like this at lunchtime? I managed to get to the counter to notify her of my break. "Hey, Mrs. Cake, I'm gonna take my lunch break. Is that ok?" I asked over the chatter. "Of course, just be back in an hour, we have some orders piling up. I'm surprised we have so many deliveries for you on your first day." She said. "Me too." I agreed. And with that, I turned and headed to the café on Mane Street. I really hope I have another dream tonight and the princesses explain what the fuck I have to do in more detail.
I arrived at the café and ordered a chocolate chip frappé and some hay fries. Not an ideal lunch, but tasty and cheap. There was a sundial in the patio where I was eating and when I checked the time after finishing my food, I found that it was about 3 pm. Awesome, seeing as it's fall, and assuming that Celestia raises and lowers the sun at the same times as the sun rises and sets in the human world, I only have 4 more hours of work. I returned to Sugarcube Corner and got 3 more deliveries. I'm liking my job. I thought as I sped off to my next delivery.
