Artist's Description
Casey sat in the cafe, his mind replaying the opening night in his head. He felt an odd attraction to the club owner he only just met. He doesn’t usually do that.. There was something about her that separated her from the rest, but he couldn’t figure out what..
Casey: Stop it, get that out of your head… We’re just business partners, don’t over step like you did before…
Scolding himself for outwardly admitting to wanting a very intimate relationship right off the bat at the end of the night,
Casey: Goddesses that was embarrassing… Well you’re not going to do that again..! Time to be good..!
Rasta sighed as she headed to the (Insert Cafe name here cause it’s not Family Bean at this time). Ok… so… a couple night’s ago happened. That was a thing. A very very embarrassing thing. Nevertheless, she could muscle through this. Her dad didn’t raise a weakling. She would be ok. Upon entering, she took notice that her normal, gigantic, lumbering awkward friend wasn’t working today. She did however, notice the light purple Pegasus sitting alone in the cafe.
Rasta: Chin up. You got this…. Walking over to his table with about as much confidence as a stumbling newborn Casey?
Casey: ears perk up and he smiles at her Hey Rasta. Glad you could make it, heheh.
Rasta: It’s been a while since I’ve been to this cafe. I’m friends with one of the workers. Have been since I was a filly.
Casey: Huh, that’s pretty nice. Maybe we can come here again. ear twitches slightly Slow down Romeo! Jeez…
Rasta: Well if you want to stop in for coffee before work, I can make time. Sits down in the seat across from him
Casey: Sounds like a plan, heheh. sips his coffee
Rasta: orders her usual of a creme brulee flavoured coffee So what did you want to talk about?
Casey: Just wanted to get to know you more. You’re really interesting to talk to. And better company too.
Rasta: I'm not sure what there is interesting I could say, heh. I'm a normal pony that owns a club now.
Casey: smiles If there’s one thing I’ve learned that’s stuck with me for years, nothing is ever normal. thinks for a second What about.. Special talent?
Rasta: her ears park slightly My special talent? It's Dance. I am able to mimic and learn Dances I see once. Though sometimes I need to see them a few times if they are really difficult, and it doesn't mean I am very good at them the first time around.
Casey: That’s still really impressive. Showed very well with the dance you performed before losing your dance partner, heh.
Rasta: Mmm…sorry about that as well. I don't know what possessed me to do that. That happens a lot. I learned to transition quick when it does.
Casey: I saw. And you were a great dance partner too.
Casey: No need to apologize. I wasn’t any better, hehehe…
Rasta: Nevertheless…it won't happen again.
Casey: Yeah. It won’t, promise.
Awkward paaaaause
Rasta: And you? Your talent?
Casey: Oh, I can play instruments after watching how they work. I mostly play the piano and the saxophone.
Rasta: Oh.. I’m guessing you studied music in school then.
Casey: Mmhmm. Went to college here in Equestria when moving away from Neigh Orleans.
Rasta: Oh. I’ve been there. I used to have a friend that lived there, but he moved away a few years ago.
Casey: Aww, that’s a shame.. Do you know where to?
Rasta: The folks there say Equestria, but they don’t know where.
Casey: Hmm. Well, maybe you’ll run into him again sometime.
Rasta: I hope so. I promised to see him again…one day.
Casey: smiles I know so.
Rasta grinned softly. That was comforting. She hoped she would reunited with her friend soon, but for now…
Rasta: Tell me about yourself.
Casey: Hmm, not sure what I can tell you. I came from Neigh Orleans, moved here for college, then came to the island afterwards for work, heheh. Other than the average work day, I’m not sure what to say..
Rasta: I suppose that explains why I haven’t seen you on the island before. Why come to Equestria for college?
Casey: It was a change of pace. I loved home, but I needed a change of scenery. I never really went anywhere outside the small town I grew up in, so.. It felt like something new and challenging to take on, you know?
Rasta: I can understand. I left Jamerca for…other reasons, but I used to come to the island every summer. It was nice not being home and getting to see my cousins and uncles.
Casey: smiles And now you’re closer to them and get to see them more often.
Rasta: I’m also closer to my dad which is nice. He traveled a lot so it was hard for him to come see me, but at 15, I moved in with him and now I live only an Island away.
Casey: Really? That’s great, heheh! Seems things are going pretty well. You’re close to family and now have your own business. Can’t get any better than that.
Rasta: Hah… I think the best it can get is for the stupid flirtations I get to stop. Then I think my life can get better.
Casey: groans slightly I’d give anything for those to just end..
Rasta: Ahah ok ok… I had someone once tell me. “I lost my shirt, can I wear you instead?”
Casey: Tch, how flattering.. Hmm… Oh! Here’s one that just screams romance.. “Did you just fart? Because you blow me away!” deadpan stare
Rasta: She blinks and then starts snickering That’s stupid but funny… Oh! “Will you go on a ate with me? The D will come later.”
Casey: Pfft, Goddesses that’s terrible..! Uhmmm… Oh, here’s one that’ll make ya cringe. “I hear you’re looking for a stud. Well I have the STD, all I need is you.” it’s so bad he cringes
Rasta: Oh… did a stallion tell you that one?
Casey: Mmhmm.. sips his drink I can’t tell who’s pick up lines are worse…
Rasta: At least he told you he had something. Sometimes those lines hold a lot more truth than I’d feel comfortable with.
Casey: If a pick up line needs to be honest, why can’t it be over something nicer rather than what they’re carrying…
Rasta: Hehehe because Casey, A stallion like that needs to tell you that have an STD so you know much much tail they are getting… or how big they are. Even mares need to tell you how huge their butt is…or how loose their cooch became after having so many guys. You’re free to do that of course. My dad was a bit of a rambler when he was younger, but at least he didn’t use crappy pick up lines.
Casey: Heheh, I suppose being that brutally honest saves my tailfeathers then..
Rasta: Maybe we should start a petition against stupid pickup lines.
Casey: That would be rich. I bet we could make one that was way better.
Rasta: Ok… Let’s give it a go. How hard could it be?
Casey: Shouldn’t be too difficult, right? Hmm.. How to start…
Rasta: How about I name something you name a reaction to it.
Casey: Uhm, okay. Let’s give it a shot.
Rasta: hmmm…..Lips?
Casey: …. I want to… kiss them.
Rasta: Ok, ok. Ummm body.
Casey: …. I want to hug it..~
Rasta: Hehe~, Classy. thinks for a moment Ok, something trickier. A smile. By not mine, yours.
Casey: …… smiles You cause it~
Rasta: blushes softly Aww. Ok, last one. My heart.
Casey:…. blushes a little I want it…~
Rasta: Oh…l-let’s see… Your lips…I kiss them. Your body? I hug it. My smile?…You cause it. Your heart…I want it.
Casey: Sounds like a really good one to me.. tail feathers wiggle slightly
Rasta: I wouldn’t mind someone saying that to me.~
Casey: Me neither, heheh. I think that’s possibly the best line made.~
Rasta: hehehe oh.. Oh dear look at the time. I shouldn’t keep you any longer.
Casey: Heheh, don’t worry I still have a little time. But maybe.. We can do this again? Maybe hang out sometime too?
Rasta: You mean outside of the business setting?
Casey: I don’t see why not. And even in business setting. Because… those first bills are going to show up soon, and.. You might want some help. I remember receiving a mountain of paperwork my first mail load when I became the owner..
Rasta: Oh you don’t have to worry about that. I’ll be ok. I wouldn’t want you worrying about your club and mine.
Casey: I wouldn’t call it a worry, heheh. But if you do need help, don’t be afraid to ask. I’d be happy to give assistance anyway I can.
Rasta: I’ll remember that. Thank you, Casey.
Casey: No problem. smiles
With that, the two separated after finishing off their coffee… at least for now.
A month went by, and once again, it was time to sort through the payment on the club. Casey gave a sigh as he opened an envelope and read through it, seeing how much money the companies were taking this time. After writing out the check, he sealed the envelope and set it aside to do the next one. Goodbye, money.. Working from one to the next, it felt like the day was going by faster, seeing how quiet it was at the start.
Nearing the end of his task, the phone on his desk rang. He picked it up to answer.
Casey: Mr. Bleu, speaking..
???: Casey, right?!
Casey: feathers fluff slightly at the frantic voice Yes?
???: This is the Around the Seas, we need your help! W-well. Uh, Rasta needs help, right now!
Casey: Rasta..? Is she alright?
???: Just get here fast, please!
Casey: O-okay, I’m on my way!
