Cafe Fina, Sunday

[puppy_fair]

It was bound to happen, really.

The dishes had listened to last night's radio broadcast.

And it was only a matter of time before one of them slipped up and called Zack 'Puppy.' And once one of them had done it, there was no turning back. Ever. The whole crew was doing it, soon enough.

This led to a good deal of pouting, from Zack. Puppyfaces, the dishes insisted.

Today's Specials:
Free Playful Puppy Cupcakes with every meal!

Zack knew that he was fighting a losing battle when the pepper shaker proudly presented him with a people-sized dog collar with his name etched into the tag.

Cafe Fina was open. And in a very puppyful mood, apparently.

[The dish ran away with the spoon, which is normal around here, but it took the OCD along with it. I'll catch pings when I'm home from work later today!]

Comments

Momoko pulled back, rocking on her heels and deciding that the pretty pretty blue eyes was probably just a coincidence. She nodded at him enthusiastically. "Oh, yeah. Reno was really cool, but he didn't seem happy all the time! And he was looking out for me, when he said that stuff, I know, but it kind of made me sad, still!"

She thought for a moment. "You know, you're right! I just have to become a better hero of justice, and show him that it is possible! And you too! Then when you go back home, you can show him, too!"

"If I ever meet him," Zack laughed a little. "I didn't even know who he was until I came here. But I have to agree! Embrace your dreams! And, whatever you do, protect your honor as a hero!"

Oh, Angeal would be so proud of him!

Deadpool, possibly not so much?

[heromaniac]

"You totally get it! You understand!" Zack now had a possible stalker new best friend.

"Well, except that protecting the people comes first. For any hero. But you have to do it right if you're going to be a hero! And that's what honour really is; doing right!" She bounced excitedly. Someone understood!

"And you'll totally meet him someday. He's probably gonna come back here for Homecoming. I'll even try and introduce you!"

[puppy_fair]

"Oh, that'd be great!" Zack bounced! The dishes, concerned for the safety and well-being of the island as a whole, contemplated the benefits of scraping the icing from Momoko's cupcake.

And withholding the ones that they'd set aside for Zack entirely.

[heromaniac]

They were holding more than one cupcake for him?

"Consider it done, then!" Momoko gave him a victory sign and a beaming smile. "By the way, what class are you? Not that it really matters here, but I'm curious."

And hoping he wasn't a senior.

[puppy_fair]

"Junior," Zack announced, allowing himself a moment to pose at that statement. See? Totally pose-worthy, being a Junior. Really. "You?"

The dishes had been holding more than one cupcake for him. They also vaguely remembered him on Pixy Stix. They were reconsidering the wisdom of these actions very seriously, now.

[heromaniac]

Wisdom?

"Waah! Me too! Me too! I didn't think I'd make it, but I did!" She didn't pose so much as cheer. He definitely now had a hyper red-headed friend, whether he realised it or not!

[puppy_fair]

Oh, he realized it! He considered her to be a friend the moment they'd gotten introductions aside! That was just how Zack rolled.

"Hey, good for you!" Bounce! Grin! He was cheering too! "Let's see if I manage to make it all the way through to grad, huh?"

The dishes were now fearing for their lives.
