I promise I'm gonna write Wanda's family soon, but I've just been way too obsessed with these two, lol. They'll be part of the new two chapters, I swear by it.
Slight Shrinking fetish is involved but nothing NSFW. Just a quick warning since I know people don't always like fetishes.
"Hey Lady! Hey! Are you gonna serve us for what?", Nora snapped, looking at her gold watch impatiently while her husband, Linnie, looked at her with a slightly nervous look on his face, "We ain't got all damn day! We have meetings we have to go to!"
"Nora please..", Linnie squeaked, "T-They look kind of busy and..I really don't think we should bother them, honey."
"Shut up! No one asked you to complain! You're lucky I even got your ass something. Be grateful.", Nora yelled before taking her fingers and snapping them together, forcing her arm towards the counter as if she were using them to point, "Hey! What's the hold up? You gonna serve us or are you just not gonna do your job?"
Nora's loud tone has started to attract attention from some of the other customers in the coffee shop, many of them whispering and others casting rude glares at the couple. Linnie blushed and buried his face in his hands as he tried to shy away from the spotlight, wanting to hurry up and get to Cosmo's parent teacher conference. God forbid that was gonna go well..
Nora's shouting had finally grabbed the attention of the barista, a much younger, female fairy, that had looked as if they were maybe college aged at best. She had short, midnight blue hair on one side, while the other side had been shaved, giving off a punk like impression to Nora. She also wore several nose piercings and a tattoo, alongside the coffee shop's regular uniform.
"Yeah? What do you want?", the barista, Midna (as her name tag said), asked, her tone laced with apathy and annoyance.
"Yeah? It's yes ma'am to me! Honestly, you young people and your catty attitudes these days. Why if I ever spoke to an adult like that, my mother would've given me the good, old fashioned, belt. Maybe you might need a whirl.", Nora huffed, her face scrunching up as Midna rolled her eyes. As if she hadn't heard that a million times.
"Fine. Yes ma'am. You happy?"
"Yes. That's all you had to say. That wasn't that hard now, was it?", Nora asked in a somewhat calmed tone, now looking at the menu, "What do you want, Linnie?"
"Um..I..well..", Linnie's soft voice droned as he looked up, and then towards Midna, "Could I have a Vanilla latte, please dear? I..uhm..would really appreciate it. Thank you."
Nora kept gazing at the menu as people started to line up behind the two, handing Linnie the debt card to pay with. Midna, who had looked away to check the time really quick, took the card gently from the male fairy, giving him a soft, somewhat pitying frown as Nora didn't quite look like she was ready to order. To Linnie's surprise though, when Midna had swiped the card, the machine played a short, low-pitched beep, making Linnie even more nervous than he already was.
"Sir?", Midna's voice dropped to a whisper, as she saw Linnie getting worried about the people behind him, "Sir, this card isn't going through. Do you two have something else to pay with?"
"O-Oh um..I-I'm so sorry..uhm..Nora?", Linnie squeaked, now hearing some annoyed groaned and sighs from the people behind him, "Nora, dear? This card doesn't work."
"What do you mean, doesn't work? There should be a shit ton of money in there! I just got paid! The fuck did you do with the money?!", Nora shouted, making Linnie flinch.
"N-Nothing! I promise! I-its just..we need another way to pay."
"Oh, that is some horseshit. Give me my card back!", Nora yelled, before throwing it near the cash register where Midna stood, instead of putting it in her hand, "Add a large Irish Coffee, and don't fuck it up. I know how you teenagers are."
"Actually ma'am, I'm in college. I'm working here to pay off housing and boarding.", Midna said, as she picked up the card. Linnie smiled shyly.
"O-Oh wow. What are you studying, if you don't mind me asking, dear? I..um..I was a child development major when I went to school, and had an early education minor, haha."
"Uh..potions I guess. No minor though. I think they're pretty cool. Hmm..yeah...This Card Isn't Going Through! Can You Give Me A Card That Has Cash In It?", Midna's voice suddenly loudened, causing some of the people in line to smirk at the couple. Nora snatched the card out of Midna's hand, and threw it back in her pocket.
"Well then, Miss Minimum Wage! You can just forget about a fucking tip then!"
"How would you tip me? You ain't got no money!" Midna laughed, looking at Nora as if she were the scum of all of Fairy World. The crow behind them ooohd at them, and continued to laugh, as both Nora and Linnie looked completely mortified. After a few more awkward seconds, Linnie cleared his throat, handing a 10 and a 5 to Midna.
"Uhm..h-here you are, dear. We're so sorry for all of this. Uhm..I don't have any more cash on me..so why don't you keep the change, please?"
"Well, aren't you as sweet as can be.", Midna snarked, as she processed the cash he gave her, giving him the receipt before it was snatched up, "I'll be right out with everything, sir. Don't you worry."
Nora huffed as the two made their way towards a table, checking her gold watch violently. They had about another 10 minutes left before they absolutely had to be on their way, coffee or not. Nora kept complaining about how kids these days had no respect, and that they should have given her a free drink since they had been so rude to her. Linnie just sighed sadly, still somewhat embarrassed by his wife's behavior.
Nora continued to tap her foot and yell at the workers to hurry up, disturbing the people around them. One woman had even came over to their table and cussed them out for being rude and a disturbance, in which Nora just shook off, not interested in any critiques people had to give. Finally, just before they needed to leave, Midna came over and gave them their drinks, with Nora's looking somewhat more purple than her usual, dark brown coffee.
"Uh..what's this shit in my coffee? I asked for an Irish Coffee, not one of your little vegan drinks!"
"Oh no ma'am! Actually, it's a special ingredient to help with the flavor. Yeah..haha..we've recently had some problems with our recipe, so this will make your drink taste pretty good."
"Well, why didn't you give it to him?", she pointed at Linnie, "What about his drink?"
"N-No Nora. It's fine. It tastes good. It's ok please.", Linnie whimpered, looking down at the floor once again. "Uhm..thank you so much, Midna. I really appreciate it."
"Oh, no problem.", Midna said, a somewhat knowing grin on her face, "You enjoy the rest of your day now."
"Ugh! Finally! Come on! Let's go see how bad our idiot son failed this time!" Nora complained, several claps being heard while the two were leaving. They had exited the coffee shop, before Nora forcefully grabbed Linnie towards her, poofing them towards the Spellementary school that Cosmo had been attending. They floated their way inside, sipping on their coffee, until Nora stopped suddenly, dropping the cup on the floor.
Her head had started to hurt really bad, as if it were being crushed. Just then, she felt her head shrink as she screaming and cried in pain, leaving Linnie hopeless on what to do. This pain and shrinking kept going for a few minutes, while some of the other parents and children watched, the kids laughing as Nora's voice got higher and mouse-like.
"W-What! What the hell did she do to my drink!", Nora squeaked, her voice sounding like a insect about to get squashed, "Linnie! Help me goddamnit!"
"I-I'm sorry dear! I don't know what to do!", he yelped, putting his coffee down on the floor, grabbing out his wand, "Hang on! Let me try something!"
He had missed a few shots since Nora had kept moving around and screaming at others to shut up, but eventually, Linnie was able to unshrink Nora's head. She had gotten up and started grumbling, cursing at people to get out of the way as she went through the school's double doors. Not wanting to leave trash on the floor, Linnie picked up both his and Nora's cup, now noticing a bold note written in black sharpie.
"Next time, be nice to your server ;)"
