Chapter 5: A Noice Day in Café

Swoosie woke up and rubbed her eyes and took a huge yawn as she stretched. "Time to get up." Swoosie said shoving Willie a bit. Willie groaned "Five more minutes...", then she turned over away from Swoosie. Swoosie got out of the bed and started to shake it. "Get up Willie its been five minutes!" She said. "No it hasn't." Willie said opening her eyes for a second. "Ha! Got you, time to get up." Swoosie said. "Noooooo..." Willie quietly moaned. Annie popped up from the side of the door as Swoosie started to pick up Willie out of bed. "Good morning...um...I cooked some breakfast if thats ok with you..." Annie quietly said. "Aww, Annie you didn't have to do that!" Swoosie said as she dropped Willie on the floor, she let out a little yelp. "Hey at least warn me when you're going to drop me." Willie said. "Yeah whatever," Swoosie said walking out of the door. "Your wastin' our time Annie we should be opening the store not feeding these losers!" Moe complained. "T-Thats not very nice..." Annie quietly said to Moe. Moe pouted and his behind her hair. Annie sighed quietly going downstairs to open up shop. Swoosie sat down Willie at the little table Anne had. Willie sniffed, "What is this?". "Pancakes" Swoosie replied. Willie started to eat them fairly with her hands. "Aren't you at least going to use a fork and knife?" Swoosie joked. "Maybe I would if I could see!" Willie said while her mouth was open. Swoosie snorted, "Close your mouth you pig!". When Willie swallowed her food and started to laugh and so did Swoosie.

"It's too loud up there, I think the blind one died," Moe said coming out of his hiding spot in Annie's hair. "It's called laughing... l-lighten up Moe" Annie replied. "Why should I? I am trying protect you and embarrass you" Moe said back. "You're not my D-Dad Moe..." Annie whispered. "Now act normal a customer is coming..." Annie said. "Hello...um... Welcome to Cooler heads...Do you need anything?" "Uh, yeah, do you have any two star gear for $2000?" an inkling asked. "No I'm sorry! I-I have this one hate but it's 500 coins over your budget... Don't be mad or anything..." The inkling sighed as he left the store walking towards the tower. "WASTIN' OUR TIME!" Moe yelled so the inkling could hear it as they was walking out the store. "You should close the shop up for today, all these people are broke losers" Moe said to Annie. "D-Do you really think so?" Annie said walking towards the door. "Yeah! Screw the rules!" Moe said as Annie. "U-Uh I'm going to get coffee then" Annie said heading upstairs to get a little wallet. "I-I'm going out for a while, the shop is closed..." Annie told the two passing by the table. "The people who come here are broke losers!" Moe said louder. Moe jumped out of Annie's hair for a minute onto the table for a minute. "You guys should keep your 'laughing' down, it sounds like somebody is dying." Moe suggested. Swoosie snorted and started to laugh and Willie did too. "Hey! What did I just tell you?" Moe pouted. Annie grabbed Moe off from the table. "T-They aren't going to listen to you..." Annie sighed heading out.

Annie went into a coffee shop and ordered an espresso and sat down at a table in front of the side window. "What are we doing sitting here, go sit in the back." Moe said. "I don't want to, I-I like this alley." Annie said looking towards it. "What's so special about it? Is stupid, it looks old!" Moe moaned. "I like it..." Annie continued. "It's like going to an art museum and they have an exhibit of just frames on a bare wall. Annie kinda laughed for a second. "Well maybe it's like that for you" Annie sighed. The door rung in the background, Annie turned around for a second, a mysterious slender man walked in holding a super sea snail under his arm. "One coffee please, mate." He said to the inkling behind the counter. "Coming right up...Spyke.." they said. "Spyke..." Annie sighed under her breath? Moe tried to say something back but Annie grabbed him and muffled his mouth. "S-Shut up" she sighed under her breath. Spyke got his coffee and sat a table away from Annie. She started to blush a little and Moe was freaking out, he wanted to yell out and embarrass her so bad; she stuffed him in her hoodie pocket. She realized that she finished up her coffee but didn't want to get up, but she did anyways and sat back down. She took slow sips as she started into the alley wall. It was like a blank canvas despite it being covered by a couple of stickers. It was kind of peaceful to look at. She feel into a daze but suddenly she heard something, a deep voice "Do you like the alleyway? It's peaceful isn't it mate..." Spyke said openly. Annie came into reality, a bit flustered. "U-Uh I like alleys... They look cool...um..." She started to blush. "I-I'm sorry it's just I s-spaced out!" She covered her face with her hands, she could feel her hoodie pocket laughing. "Stranger I didn't mean to throw you off..." he said. "You run the hat store, right?" he asked. "U-Uh yeah... It's...uh Cooler heads... third store on the left..." She flustered. Annie was still in disbelief this guy started a conversation with her... It made her day. "I have my own little business, it's probably considered shady but nobody comes until after Splatfest really..." he sighed "M-Most of my customers don't have enough money for the things they want... I-I feel really bad, but I can't go any cheaper!" Annie responded, a bit calmer now. Annie realized her coffee was empty but she wasn't going to get up, so she kept talking until her hoodie pocket was almost broken.

Once outside Moe screamed "ANNIE HAS A BOYFRIEND" and quickly decided to muffle him back in before Spyke heard him. She went back in the store and upstairs. Swoosie was sitting on the couch watching the news on TV and Willie fell asleep on her legs. Swoosie got up. Hello Annie, we saved this just for you, it was a warm pizza with a cup of water. "T-Thank you!" Annie said sitting down at the table. "So, what did you do on your day off?" Swoosie asked. "Oh... Nothing..." Annie smiled. Moe kept saying stuff about the stuff Annie actually did though because he couldn't talk for the whole time they were at the Cafe. Annie started to blush a lot. "It's ok Annie, there's nothing to be ashamed about..." Swoosie said from the couch. "Yes...it's ok for now..." she sighed under her breath.
