Chapter 10: And the Uncomfortable Antics Ensue

Author's Note:

Sorry, for the ten month update. I've just been dealing with a more popular story and also, I haven't been in a writing mood due to my cancer. Sorry peeps. This will also be the last chapter in which it is just another one of the same chapters with a different perspective, as the next chapters with both Snips and Silver Spoon featured in them, will have both their perspectives in it.

Me and Dee stepped inside Mocha la Coca and we're now ready to get our coffee after Dee's encounter with the con pony. She still had her annoyed look on her face, and was extremely pissed off, she's like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode,

"He better be with my money, Silver" Dee told me.

"Yes, I know. Don't start with this now, let's just get our drinks, this day has started off more badly than I thought" I told her with my tiring voice.

"Oh, so you knew something bad would happen?" Dee interrogated, "Bet I came to mind when you thought of something bad?"

"Dee, shut up, please, I didn't mean it like that. It's just..." I tried to say.

"It's just what, Silver?" Dee asked angrily.

"...Nothing, it's nothing. Let's just get our coffee, then we'll go, OK?" I said.

"OK" Dee shrugged.

We both went up to the counter, shockingly, there wasn't a line, and hardly anypony was there,

"Hey, welcome to Mocha la Coca, can I get you two anything?" The mare at the counter asked us.

Dee went ahead to tell the mare what we wanted as she stared at the menu,

"Hmm...I'll have a....no...maybe a..." Diamond said.

Whilst Dee was struggling with saying what she wanted, I observed the few customers inside the cafe, until my eye got caught sights of one of the customers, which happened to be Snips. It's weird how I didn't notice him as soon as I came in. He looked like he was sleeping on his hoof, with two milkshakes at the table with him, this means that either Snails was here and will be back or Snips was thirsty enough to buy himself two milkshakes. Greedy boy.

I went over to approach him, and to wake up as well. He looked peaceful whilst he was asleep,

"Excuse me, Snips?" I greet him.

He groggily awoken as he slowly opened his eyes. He looked around, adjusting himself to his surroundings and sparked up when he saw me,

"Oh my God, Silver! How are you?" He asked me politely.

"I'm great, Snips. What about yourself?" I asked back with a smile.

"I'm feeling good, now you're here" He replied.

Aww, how sweet. That's really nice of him. He maybe pushed it just a little bit though, still nice though,

"Oh, you!" I giggled.

"Em...uh...do you and....uh..." He began to stutter.

He then tilted his head to the right and looked past me to see Dee, I turned around and saw her as well, giving us an angry look. I swear to Celestia, I hope she doesn't make a scene, she's prone to making fun of ponies like Snips, as well as Snails. Speaking of which, where is Snails?

Snips continued, "..Diamond Tiara want sit with me and Snails over here?"

I turned around to face Dee, who gave me a light shake of the head, it's clearly obvious she doesn't want to sit here, but screw her, I'm doing it anyways,

"Yeah, we'd love to" I smiled at him.

"Eh-hem, Silver Spoon" Dee spoke behind me.

I closed my eyes and took a small but deep breath, before turning around to face her,

"What is it?" I asked her.

"What about our coffee?" She asked me, trying to get me away from him.

"I'll get it once it's ready, alright?" I replied to her with a stern tone.

"Fine" She shrugged.

I shook my head as I turned around to face back Snips, who moved up and kindly made space for me to sit in the booth, I smiled gently at him and sat beside him. But holy shit, is that bad for Dee to just sit with other ponies? It's a damned nightmare taking her places. I also feel sorry for the guy who owes her money, but he shouldn't have tried to con out a fucking kid,

"Did you get the news that the School is shut as well?" Snips asked me once I sat down.

"Yeah, I did. I didn't see you at the School though" I told him.

"Oh, me and Snails got there early, we saw the note on the door and just took the longer way to here" He explained.

Oh yeah, where the Hell is Snails? I don't think he's the same as Snips, if anything, I think he's a douchebag,

"Where is Snails anyways?" I asked.

"Oh, he's in the restroom" Snips replied.

"OK, did you tell him about um...." I began to ask him.

"Yesterday?" He questioned.

"Yeah, did you tell Snails about it? I won't get mad if you say you did" I told him as I nodded.

I don't mind, since I told DT about some of it anyways. Not to mention, Spike will probably spread the word to that off,

"To be honest, yeah, I did. How come you're not mad about it?" He asked me with curiosity.

Time to tell him what I think, "Word will get around about it eventually, mostly from Spike, considering the fact you two don't like each other" I explained to him.

"Huh, I guess you're right" Snips chuckled contemptibly at my remark

Guess I should just tell him I admitted it to someone as well,

"I told Dee as well, part of it, sorry"

"Dee?" He asked.

"Oh, I mean Diamond Tiara, it's a nickname I give her" I told him.

It was at this point when my and Snips' polite chit chat was halted by Dee sitting at the booth with the coffee, giving me an annoyed stare. Oh fuck, I forgot to get the coffee, that's why she's looking at me like that. She moved my coffee over to me, I had a latte, whilst she had a cappuccino,

"So is that other milkshake yours as well, Snips?" Dee asked him.

"No, it's Snails'" Snips replied to her.

"Where is he anyways?" Dee asked him with mild curiosity.

"Restroom" He told her.

"Is that why he's outside there?" Diamond asked him as she pointed outside the window.

I turned around to see Snails outside the cafe, just before he stepped in. Why was he outside? I thought he was in the restroom? I looked at Snips' facial expression and he looked just as confused as me. I then glanced at Dee to see that she wasn't happy, as per fucking usual. That just annoys me how she can't even crack a damn smirk. But anyways, Snails made it up to the table and then said to both me and Dee,

"Oh, Silver Spoon. Diamond Tiara. Funny seeing you two here" He greeted us with his...usual..um....charm, "Excuse me, Diamond, can you scootch up, so I get some space please?" He asked Dee.

"Of course" She replied as she moved up across the booth.

That's the first time in years I've heard her say of course, and she actually let him in the booth instead of saying her usual phrases such as, "Fuck off" and "This is my space, find another", but anyways, she seems to be doing well so far, aside from giving me and Snips a few odd looks. But it seems like all of us can have a good conversation about whatever,

"Ah, better letting all that out, than letting it stay in" Snails uttered as he sat in the booth.

I was wrong, this conversation is fucked already. What an absolutely disgusting thing to say, I turned to Snips to see him hanging his head in shame as his friend smirks at him, is he trying to annoy Snips?

"So, Snails, how come you were outside?" Dee asked him with very little curiosity, as if she was just speaking to pass the time.

Snails' tired expression shot into a worried one, as if whatever he did outside was a crime. To be honest, I wouldn't expect any different from him,

"Yeah, how come you were outside, man?" Snips asked him as well, but he had more curiosity than Dee.

Snails thought to himself, and glanced at Dee. Who was looking him as if she wanted an answer, but I know she doesn't care either way,

"Well, Snips, you remember Tommy, right?" Snails asked his friend.

"The drug dealer?" Snips asked back.

Wait, drug dealer? So I guess it's true that these two are pot heads, not that I mind of course. I'd actually like to try it sometime,

"Yeah, him. I just noticed him outside and realized I owe him bread from two months ago, when my gramps was on vacation" Snails told Snips with a lot of hoof movements.

What the fuck is he talking about?

"Bread?" I questioned aloud.

Snips leaned towards me and replied, "Slang for money"

"Oh right" I said.

Snips then looked back at Snails, "Don't speak like that, Snails" He ordered him.

I like myself a bossy boy,

"Speak like what, homie?" Snails questioned, clearly trying to annoy Snips.

"Like that. Homie, bread, all that crap, man. You're not a gangster from Las Pegasus or Manehattan" Snips explained to him.

"I'm a pothead, it's close enough" Snails smirked at his buddy.

At this point, poor Snips hung his head in defeat. I feel sorry for the cutie, I can relate to having a friend who can act like a complete and utter...damn, I'm not even going to say it. I guess I can't necessarily blame Dee for being who she is, grant it, she's mentally ill, but she's still my friend. My only friend. But anyways, my point is that, there is a line that has been drawn in the fucking sand which you can't cross if you go too far, and I think Snails in Snips' eyes, has gone too far,

"Silver?" He said to me.

"Yes, Snips?" I asked.

"Me and Snails, need to talk about about something, in private, can I just get passed you please?" He told and asked me.

"Yeah, sure" I replied.

"Thanks, Silver" He thanked me kindly.

"No problem" I replied with a smile.

I got out of the booth and let Snips make his way passed, he gave me a light nod as a sign of thanks and I nodded back. He called Snails to go along with him and Snails did and I sat back down.

Once I sat back down I had a smile on my face and took a sip of my coffee. Whilst I was doing that, I noticed at the corner of my eye that Dee was still giving me an odd look. I can't fucking take it anymore, what the hell does she want?

"What is it, Dee?" I asked in annoyance.

"It could've turned out just another ordinary off day for us" Dee replied stoically.

"What do you mean?" I questioned with a sigh in my voice.

"We could've just hanged around like we usually do but we had to sit with these guys" Dee told me.

"Well, I like Snips" I said, "Next time we sit with your cockney lover, I'll be sure to complain about as well"

"Hey, I like Snips as well, well, at least more the dumbass I'm sitting beside, not to mention he's a fucking perv too" Dee explained to me with a hint of anger.

"Would it kill you to behave nicely for five minutes? Five minutes? Okay? Please" I begged her.

"Oh yeah, dad. I'll be on my best behavior whilst we're having dinner with your colleagues" She sarcastically replied to me in a way that portrays me as her parent.

"Your sarcasm speaks volumes. Cut it out" I told her as I rubbed my hoof against my forehead with my eyes closed.

"You haven't even kissed him yet, in front of us yet I mean" Dee mentioned.

"Your point?" I questioned.

"If you two are an item then show it" Dee replied.

I've had enough of her dumb fucking bullshit, if she wants to be sarcastic, I can play that game too,

"How does feel to give up a space to Snails, Dee?" I asked her.

She grumbled and looked away and shook her head and then stared out the window and at this point Snips and Snails returned to the booth, good thing he missed the best bits of me and Dee's little talk. I moved to the side and let Snips sit on my left as I sighed and took a drink of my coffee. Then Snails went over beside her and then said,

"So, Diamond Tiara, long time, no spea-" He began.

Dee then replied, "Don't talk to me, perv" She then had a drink of coffee, "Just....don't"

I sighed again and had another sip of my drink. She really can be a piece of work at times, and it stresses me right out. As much as I love her, she can just be the bitchiest person I know and we bicker like an old married couple. Snips must've been noticing my facial expression, because in the corner of my eye I can see him looking concerned for me,

"Silver, are you OK?" The nice guy asked me.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Snips" I replied.

"You sure?" He asked me to make sure.

I nodded and hummed "mhm" to him. I lied to him basically, I'm not feeling too great, I'm in a bad mood due to Dee. But Snips' is nice enough to find out what's the matter, it's really good of him,

"Guess what, Silver? I've got something for you" He told me as he gently nudged me on the side.

I smirked a little bit before turning to face him, "What is it?" I asked.

He then smirked as well, as if he couldn't wait to tell me, "You know how I said I'd get the tickets to the Gala?"

No way, he didn't. When did he get them? Did he even get them? Oh my, I'm literally so happy right now that the sides of my face are hurting due to smiling,

"You didn't" I gasped.

"I did" He told me as he put the tickets on the table, "And one of them is yours"

I couldn't hold my excitement in any longer, I'm going to kiss him.

And I did, I pounced into him a little gave him a tight squeeze and a small smooch on his lips....right in front of Dee and Snails. I let go of Snisp and then looked at Dee, who gave me one of her usual expressions, which formed to a condescending smile. I blushed and looked around the cafe in order to ignore it,

"Well man" Snails began to say to Snips, "It seems you and Silver have got plans to discuss, I'll leave you two alone and buy some pot, homie"

"Don't bogart that shit, man. I'll catch you later" Snips sighed as he bode farewell to his friend as Snails left the building.

"Well, that coffee was good" Dee began as she took her last gulp, "What about yours, Silver?"

You know what? The coffee was kind of bland. Yeah, despite Mocha la Cocha being one of the top coffehouse brands in Equestria, it was really disappointing,

"It was....em....OK" I told her.

"I'll see you two lovebirds later, but by the next time I see you, every pony in school will be crowding around you" She told us as she left the booth and gave me a quick wink.

So then it was just me and Snips at the booth, I looked at him briefly and then looked away blushing. I'm still a little shy after the lip contact,

"You OK?" He asked with concern.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, if that kiss seemed a little abrupt" I apologized.

"No need to be sorry, Silver. I didn't mind it, per say" He shrugged it off and chuckled.

"It was just over-excitement" I explained, "And thanks for the tickets, Snips" I thanked him.

"It's the least I can do" He told me.

"Oh, OK" I replied.

"Do you want to go do something?" He asked me.

"Yeah, I'm pretty hungry, want to just stay here and get some food? I'll buy since you got the tickets" I asked him and told him.

"OK, that's cool, thanks" He gratefully thanked me.

I then smiled at him and leaned closer to him and pecked his cheek, then went to his ear and whispered gently,

"You're welcome"
