(Despite how happy I am about this story's newer chapters, you have to wade through all these meh chapters to get there. I guess this one is shorter...)
Hello! New chapter! Let's just go ahead and jump in...
It was August 26 and finally the weekend! Honest came flying out of the school gate with her best friend Shadow in tow. Shadow's wrists were bruised from Honest constantly yanking him this way or that. Even though it was now officially the weekend, they still needed to go for one more day of work.
When Honest and Shadow got to the café, they peeked through the front window. They saw a mysterious blue figure sitting at one of the tables inside. Honest and Shadow both looked at each other and sighed.
The two mobians entered the café and tried desperately not to look at the person. It was... dare I say it... no use.
"What's happening?" In a supersonic second, none other than Sonic the Hedgehog was standing in front of them. He was holding an orangish colored cat with a brown stripe over her left ear. Pop. Sonic was now holding an orangish colored cat girl.
Shadow looked as if he was freaked out, but Honest was just plain upset. Sonic dropped the girl, Akane, and Honest latched on to both Shadow and Akane's wrists. "Let's go get changed."
They went into the small room to the left of the front entrance, leaving Sonic standing outside the door tapping his foot, obviously upset. On the inside was a small concrete room with nothing interesting going on except two closets and a room full of boxes and crates.
Honest went to one of the closets after letting go of Akane and Shadow. There was a sticker on the door of the closet that had the face of a famous fashion designer on it as well as the words "You're wearing Honey!" Honest opened the closet and rummaged around for their uniforms.
Honest returned a minute later with their uniforms. Shadow grabbed his and started putting it on immediately. Honest helped Akane into her's before sitting on one of the two tables in the room and putting on her's. Akane and Shadow were done, and were now waiting by the door, obviously too scared to face Sonic without Honest.
Suddenly, with no warning whatsoever, all the other workers started flooding in through the door. Honest, now in her uniform, fell off the table and narrowly missed getting stomped on by Key, a fellow employee.
Shadow must've thought this whole situation funny because he covered his mouth and looked away. "Honest!" Akane exclaimed with a startled tone. She raced over to help her up. When customers started showing, Honest fixed the bow in her hair and went outside.
Once in the front of the café, Honest was given two large plates by Amy, one of the chefs, and told to deliver them to table 013. Honest tried hard to keep her balance and took the plates to their owners. When she got to the table, she was horrified to see...
Jet and Wave. She gulped and dropped the plates in front of them. "I-Is th-there anything-"
Wave cut her off. "We don't want anything else."
Honest, who was additionally frightened by Jet being there, jumped at Wave's being, well, Wave. "Okay!" she dashed back into the kitchen.
When Key saw Honest run into the room in a hurry, she looked to be completely unaware that Honest was distressed. She gave Honest another plate, and Honest teetered out of the kitchen with her teeth chattering.
Of course the next table was Sonic's. She gives up and sits beside him, sighing. "Uh, Honest?" he asks.
"Hm?" Honest says, looking at Sonic with a face that said 'I dare you to say anything about what I'm doing.' He said something anyway.
"I thought we were enemies...?" he stated, it coming out as a question because he was confused as well.
Honest pointed over her shoulder at Jet, who was sitting by the window across the room. "Not when Senpai's around." Sonic just bowed his head and started eating quietly.
(So yeah, basically the Cafe is the place where Honest has to face her biggest fears.)
UBER short chapter today. It looked long when I wrote it in my notebook a week or so ago. . But anyway, hope you enjoyed this. More short chapters on the way. I need to clear out all my old scribbles in my notebook. I've sorted them in order by date. Hope you enjoyed! Be sure to read my other story, Honesty is the Best Policy {w/Sonic}.
