The sun shines in the shade of orange, the wind flows. Cliff rides his motorbike with his best friend. Andrew sitting behind him. They're heading to a restaurant to get flapjacks for Andrew. Cliff is a brown cat, he exercises so he's well-built. His blonde hair is not too long, not too short, usually styles his hair middle part or slicked back. Andrew is an orange cat, with brown-like fur. He has short brown-yellowish hair, usually styles it messy, or formally brushed. Andrew stands with his feet on the footpegs. His arms raised to the sides with his hands facing the front, feeling the evening breeze of the wind passing by."Woohoo!" Andrew yells.

"Get down, there's a tree with a branch that's about to hit you!" Cliff warns.

Andrew then sits back down again as the tree gets closer.

They finally arrive at Sunny Nights, the restaurant they are heading to. It's where the bar is. Cliff turns off the motorbike engine and parks it. They both get down from the motorbike and walk towards the restaurant.

"Man, I can't wait to get pancakes!" Andrew says.

Cliff pulls Andrew closer and wraps his arms around Andrew's neck as they walk, inarming him. He chuckles as he shakes his head.

"Yup, and you're paying." Cliff says.

"What? No- I mean, that's fine, I was thinking about it," Andrew responds.

Cliff then opens the door. Once they step into the restaurant, they are welcomed with some country song performances. The restaurant is filled with people hanging out with their friends and work partners. There are horses, bulls, cows, wolves, cheetahs, and other furs. Not only some ordinary country furs are there, there are also motorbike gang members. While Andrew and Cliff walk past the motorbike gang, the leader of the gang greets Andrew with a very happy tone. He's a brown bear, wearing a baseball hat with the star in the middle that Andrew gave him a few months ago. He might look scary, but he is kind on the inside.

"Hey Andrew, how are you doing?!" He asks loudly.

"I'm great!" Andrew shouts while passing by.

"Nice to hear that! Hahaha... such a nice kid," the leader says in a loud voice.

Andrew and Cliff walk to the bar in front of Rissa, Cliff's girlfriend who works here every evening as a part-time job. Rissa, who sees them from afar, waves at them. She is a brown cat just like Cliff, she has brown hair, slightly curly. Rissa then picks up a pen to write down what they are going to order. Andrew and Cliff sit on the bar stools.

"So, can I take your order, guys?" Rissa asks with a small laugh.

"Like the usual. Strawberry milkshake and flapjacks with ice cream on top," says Andrew.

"I'll take tequila, two shots," Cliff answers with two fingers up.

"Whoa, slow down, honey. The last time you ordered was three, and that was yesterday," Rissa warns with her disappointed-looking face and her hands on her waist.

"You know what, I'll just give you half a shot instead," Rissa continues.

Rissa puts her pen down and rips the order paper apart. She walks to the kitchen.

"Juan, can you make three pancakes?" Rissa yells to Juan, who is sitting on a chair inside the kitchen.

Juan is a horse, his fur is cream-white, with short brunette hair. He's in charge with the kitchen and mostly prepares the food. He and Rissa have known for about two years. Rissa hands him the order list. He walks to the fridge to get the flapjack batter, then pours them onto a heating pan on a stove.

"Alright! Three flapjacks are being made," Juan shouts.

Rissa walks back to the front, preparing the beverage orders. Cliff excuses himself to go to the bathroom because he has been holding his bladder this whole time.
