The following morning, Cheese Sandwich and Sideburn are just hanging around together at Ol' Stanley's shop. It was early in the morning, so the shop hasn't open yet. "Well," said Side Burn, "A good time to hang out together, huh, Cheese?"

"Well," Cheese Sandwich replied, "I am Cheese Sandwich, so yes, it is a nice time to hang out together." "Even if it's very early in the morning," Sideburn replied. "That is true," said Cheese Sandwich, "Agreed, Boneless?" Of course, Boneless remained silent.

"Well, there's that," said Sideburn. "Ok," said Cheese Sandwich, "Now what?" "Well," Sideburn answered, "Right now, I really don't know." "That's okay," said Cheese Sandwich, "Boneless said so, too. We'll find something to do."

That's when Ol' Stanley showed up to open his shop. He immediately noticed the two ponies. "Oh!" he said the moment he saw them, "Early today, I see." "Sorry, Ol' Stanley," said Sideburn. "Oh, no problem," Ol' Stanley smiled, "You're welcome to stop by at any time. Just let me unlock my shop for you."

"Ok," said Cheese sandwich, "But we were just hanging out." "I know," said Ol' Stanley, "Still, I have to open up my business." "We know," smiled Sideburn, "We're just hanging out."

"I know that," Ol' Stanley replied as he unlocked the door to his shop, "Well, you're free to come on inside." "Thanks," Sideburn said as Ol' Stanley waked into his shop. "So, Cheese?" Sideburn asked. "Yes?" Cheese Sandwich replied. "I was thinking," Side Burn went on, "That maybe one day, I'll choose my own path. Inspired by yours."

"Oh," Cheese Sandwich replied, "Well, that's a good choice from you. You can be anything you want to be." "That's what I'll do," said Sideburn. "But still, we'll be best friends, right?" "Yes," Cheese Sandwich agreed, "Of course we'll be friends."

"Right," said Sideburn. "All right," said Cheese Sandwich, "We'll do that. So, who's up for a cheese pancake?" "Yes," Sideburn said, "Wait a minute, what?" "What did you say, Boneless?" Cheese Sandwich asked his rubber chicken, "Oh, right."
