Saturday, the best day of the week. One of the only days I don’t have to go to school but to sit and relax in front of the fireplace poster on the wall. I do wish we had a real fireplace in our home so that I could be able to roast myself when I want to, but I guess it’s not necessary.
The door of my room opens with no warning slowly making a long annoying creaking sound, I see my father opening the door and peaking his head through the gap. I gave a confused stare not knowing what he wants from me.
“You forgot to knock on the door.”
“Don’t worry I’m your father besides I was just checking if you were still asleep.”
“Well I’m not, just sitting in front of my poster getting myself warm. Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Right... anyways there is a colt outside our door and is asking if you are inside.”
I paused for a second and turned to my father with a confused stare trying to put together everything he has just said. Did Twitch find out where I lived? If so then how and what does he want from me?
I stood up and gave myself a stretch as I exited my room to see if my thoughts were correct. I trotted down the stairs to hear a pony talking about some sort of stunt, just from this, I could already tell who is outside the door. Making my way to the main door I see Twitch standing outside with his skateboard leaning on our door frame.
“Ah, Confusion I found you!”
“H-how did you find me?” I said stuttering in confusion.
“C’mon man I’ve seen you walk home before, it's not like we are in a big crowded city.”
“You got a point there but uh why did you come here?”
“It’s a Saturday, isn’t it? So I thought I should stop by and hang with you for the day!”
I stayed silent with shock not understanding why Twitch would want to hang out with me since I just watch him do stunts after the end of classes. I don’t do exciting things and I’m not even sure Twitch is a fan of sitting and drinking in a local cafe for the rest of the day.
“You want to hang with me? The colt that does nothing but sits, stands, and drinks?” I said trying to point out the fact that I’m pretty much a boring pony to hang with.
“Yep!” he exclaimed with joy not showing second thoughts.
I stayed silent thinking about what I should do next, I trotted back inside my house grabbing my saddlebag on the couch before leaving the place.
“I’m heading out!” I announced loud enough for my parents to hear.
“Ok, come back soon!”
I trotted out the main door closing it from behind me, I then double-checked if I had everything in my saddlebag before placing it on my back. I’m just gonna hope that Twitch doesn’t mind doing anything for the day.
“I’m ready when you are.”
“Great where are we heading?”
“To one of my favorite places in Ponyville.”
“Is it the park?”
“Nope even better, the local cafe.”

Sitting comfortably on the wooden chair inside the cafe enjoying myself while waiting for my drink to be served. The conversations of ponies in the cafe were mixed with the calm and soothing music that is being played for all the ponies inside. Everything was perfect, I could finally get myself some rest after a whole week of school.
Twitch in the other hoof, is waiting for his drink and trying his best to relax but judging the way he's acting right now, I am totally sure that he doesn’t want to be a part of any of this.
“Your drinks are ready you two, come get them!” the barista said as she places the two drinks on the counter.
I pulled out five bits from my saddlebag and placed it on the counter while hovering the two drinks to our table. I placed Twitch’s drink on the table first followed by my own. I then sighed with relief as I hovered my drink to my face giving it a good stare.
“So do I just drink this or what?” Twitch asks while looking at me with confusion.
“Uhh yeah, that’s what a drink is for, have you ever had one?”
“Not really, I never tried coffee before, is it good?”
“I’m drinking it and these ponies are too, I’ll leave that for you to decide.”
I took a small sip out of my cup and left the hot portion in my mouth trying to show my appreciation to the barista behind the counter. As I was taking in the taste of the portion left in my mouth I felt a sudden feeling of being watched, I really hate this feeling.
I looked around the cafe to make sure I wasn't being spied on but as I looked around I turned to Twitch and noticed him staring at me with a face of interest, I was feeling a little creeped out by the way he was staring at me. Should I say something or should I let him be?
He continued to stare at me even after he realizes that I had noticed him. Yeah, I'm going to say something, this is too weird.
“Do you mind?” I said breaking the silence between the awkward staring contest.
He had shaken his head and took notice of my uncomfortable actions, he then looks around the room acting like I didn't say anything. I stared at him with seriousness showing him how serious I am about the question I had asked.
“Sorry about that, I’m just not used to seeing you doing something you actually enjoy. Though I don’t even understand how you enjoy this, you just sit and do nothing for the rest of the day like a boring pony. No offense by the way.”
“None taken.”
I looked down at my coffee with deep thoughts knowing that Twitch isn't enjoying himself here in the cafe. He drags a tissue left and right repeatedly showing all signs of boredom, watching him look bored made me feel bad about myself making me feel a little selfish.
"If you don’t like doing what I do then let's just do whatever you would like to do," I said with pity for I want him to actually enjoy himself instead of pretending to like what I do.
He paused and turned his head to me immediately after what I had said to him. I watched as his bored and miserable actions turned into an exciting one, he got off his chair and grabbed his coffee on the table.
“GREAT, I’LL MEET YOU IN THE PARK, I HAVE A PLAN FOR BOTH OF US TO DO!” he exclaimed in the cafe grabbing the attention of the other ponies inside.
He then left the cafe in a rush looking excited, I’m not sure what’s up with him since we always do the exact same thing every afternoon, was the cafe really that boring to him? If so then he should have said sooner, because I could have just taken him to the park after getting at least one drink for myself.
I shrugged my confusion off as I got off my seat while leaving a tip on the table at the same time. I then gave myself a stretch before leaving the cafe, I grabbed my coffee on the table and trotted my way to the park where I’ll probably meet Twitch in.
