[Takeru was taking a day off work, or at least was taking advantage of being given a day off because of the photoshoot previously on a day he shouldn't have been in. But he had found that day to be fun more than anything after all a special someone was the one who did the pictures and he enjoyed the time because of it.

But for now, Takeru was leaning back on the couch, the sound of the television was going on in the background, it was at this moment in time background noise. On his lap sat his Zorua, the other two Pokemon he kept were currently chilling on the top of the sofa. After a brief moment, Takeru waved slightly. He had a purpose and now was the time to actually say something.]

Hello, I have a very important question I need to ask, to help someone special to me.

[He smiled slightly for a moment.]

My... well uh... girlfriend [Still so very, very strange to admit after 10 days of dating. He was to use to them having been friends this whole time. But he continues on even with his thoughts.] Hikari is planning a little trip to some hot springs she heard about. She hasn't been here for long and she could use some friends that aren't a bad influence at times.

[Anyone is free to figure out who that might be in reference to, only one person knows for sure.]

So I figured I would ask the girls I know and maybe anyone I might not if they might be interested in going with my fri...girlfriend? I have to stop saying friend. [He sighed slightly.]

Thank you for listening and hope to hear from people soon about that. [He honestly wasn't sure what he was going to be doing on that day, but Zorua shifted himself slightly moving to make sure he was more comfortable in his lap.]

As for me, I guess I would need to plan on doing something with people, I just have no clue as to what. [He couldn't help but laugh slightly.]

Guess I'll figure that out on the day. [A pause.] Oh, for those that helped me with cooking stuff I do have a present for you lot, just let me know when to bring it to you and I will deliver it.

[He smiled before switching off.]

[Even though he wasn't meant to be working today didn't stop the young man from going to the coffee shop and grabbing a hot drink and sandwich for lunch instead of cooking back at home. He had another reason for his trip out and it was his three pokemon. Zorua, Chatot, and Emolga were all with him getting out and about. He didn't want them to get lazy after all.

However, there was one thing Takeru was never good at and that was keeping them in line. Chatot was the first to fly on ahead, causing Takeru to give chase so he couldn't get too far away from him.]

Chatot, get back here. [Chatot himself seem to instead find himself flying around other people. He may or may not be trying to see if someone has food.]

I'm sorry about him.

[She accepted the cup with an extremely grateful look, holding it with both hands as she took a sip. The hot liquid splashed across her taste buds, filling her mouth with the rich, sweet flavor. Exactly the amount of sugar she used. It trickled down her throat when she sealed, and she let out a satisfied sigh before looking back to him.]

Perfect.

Definitely an improvement over the Professor’s. [A small shiver wracked her at the memory.] I’ve never met anyone who drank that much caffeine in a single drink before.

How much caffeine was that then?

[He was pretty sure she hadn't mentioned it before as he went to stand by the counter, looking over at her for the time being as his Pokemon had chosen to wonder or fly around, except Emolga who flew over to Hikari and stayed nearby her.]

[She kelt down at Emolga's approach, giving the little guy a pat and scratch on the head in greeting.]

Enough that I was shaking after two sips. It took me almost half an hour to stop, too.

Oh, wow. Yeah, that's gonna be a lot then.

[At least she was okay, he was relieved about that at least.]

At least nothing too bad happened then.

Either I was lucky, or else the Professor noticed right away. He's the one who switched out the cups when he realized what had happened.

...considering the fact that he'd not only forgotten which one was his, as well as where they came from, I'm almost tempted to think the former.

At least now we know to be careful if there are two cups that look exactly the same. Maybe Moonbucks should find ways to make different coffees look different.

Is Moonbucks the only place to get coffee, or is it just the one we always get ours from because you work there?

[She hadn't really considered it until that moment. Mostly because it was true; she really had no other reason to go somewhere else. Their coffee was really good, if a bit on the pricy side...but Takeru was always making her cups anyway, so on the rare occasion she went there and he wasn't working, she didn't mind paying a little extra.]

Only because he genuinely seemed like he couldn't remember. It made me wonder how many other coffee shops there might be, if someone gets that confused.

I like the think it's the latter. If it was the first one, then we'd have a lot more customers. [At least he was sure he had seen other places, plus he added cafes and places where you can get coffee too to that.]

Odds are likely there is one on every corner.

I'm sure there's not that many, Takeru.

If you count cafes and such, you'd be surprised at the possible numbers.

But you're right probably not as high as I make it out to be.

[She let out a contemplative hum at that, taking the time for another healthy sip of her drink all the while.]

Maybe.

That might be a fun thing to do sometime. Visit a bunch of different cafes and see how they're different from one another.

Not all on the same day though.

[That would be a very bad idea.]

How about we pick two on a day soon and have fun going to them and see what they are like?

[She certainly hadn't meant all on the same day, but since he voiced as much aloud, she let out a small giggle. She might have been a Yagami, but she certainly didn't have her brother's stomach.]

I like that idea a lot. We can make it an ongoing cafe tour.

Do you think anyone else would want to go?

[He didn't mind either way really, but he didn't want to seem rude and not think about his friends anyway.]

Mimi might. We could always ask.

Sounds like a good plan at least.

Though she might want to try that with her own boyfriend. But we might as well ask regardless.

I don’t think I’ve even met him yet, now that you mention it.

He could always come too. It would be the four of us.

[Like a double date.]

I've spoken to him like once maybe twice, but that's it really. it's kind of like with Jou's girlfriend. We hear about them but never actually really see much of them. Though the difference here is I've seen them, just don't know them at all.

[He was pausing to think about it a little bit more.]

But I guess he could, so we can ask all the questions because when else could we?

[She couldn't help herself; at the mentioning of Jou's (alleged) girlfriend, she giggled a little too much not to betray her own doubts of this mysterious girl's existence.]

[...only for her face to fall flat at his last question.]

You're not going to mercilessly grill him, are you?

[He couldn't help but grin slightly. He could tell what that might mean and wasn't going to say anything. Instead, he was focused on the conversation.]

Now, why would I do that? I've teased him the times I have spoken to him. I'm not going to grill him as well. Not unless I have good reason too.

[At least he had a noble reason to want to grill him. Sort of.]

Why do I have the feeling your definition of 'good reason' might differ from mine? And Mimi's?

[She'd literally known you half your lives, Takeru, don't think you can slip that by her.]

Is if he makes her upset I would not count then?

[Because that was at least one of them anyway.]

I mean maybe my other definitions might not, but at least that one even you two would agree on.

[She had to pause and think on that for a moment, because that was actually a decent response.]

I suppose.

Although, this is Mimi we're talking about. If he made her upset, there's probably nothing you could do that she couldn't do worse.

[He smiled slightly, giving a small but firm nod.]

I think you are right there, but we can be scary in a different way. It shows we care never the less and we do.

[He looked around for the moment at her workplace once again.]

So how has work been today? Eventful or quiet?

A mixture of both, actually.

[Which explained--somewhat--why she was able to remain in communication with him for so long. It was clearly one of the quieter moments in the shop, as evident by the lack of background noise or signs of activity.]

It was a little busy when I first came in this morning. There were a few people asking about shoots and packages and the like. A couple wanted to know if we sold the cameras we used, so I had to figure out which shop to direct them towards. Then it was quiet for a bit after than. There were a few others in and out, but right now, it's pretty much just me.
