Can't Be Too Happy

No One's P.O.V

The chosen meet-up destination was in front of a restaurant in Canterlot. Everypony in the friend group informed an invited.

"Do you know who's coming?" Kat asked Bella, pulling out a chair for herself.

"The only pony I couldn't get in contact with was Abohaty, but for the most part everypony said they were gonna show," Bella answered.

"Even Kelsey?"

"Yes, Kelsey has a wheelchair now." Bella looked over Kat's head to see Grammar and Celia helping Kelsey roll around in the wheelchair. "Oh, there she is right there!" Kat turned her head around to see the three friends walking together.

"HI!!" Grammar shouted from a distance. Bella waved back at him as the friends approached closer. "Are we early?"

"Don't worry, you guys are just in time. I'm sure everypony else is on their way," Bella answered. She looked over at Celia and Kelsey and smiled slightly. "Glad you mares could make it!" Celia nodded awkwardly. "Well...um, while we wait for everypony else, I'm going to buy us all some coffee."

"I don't like coffee," Grammar admitted.

"Okay, well, what do you want?"

"I want a chocolate milkshake." You could hear Kat groan in the background.

"Grammar, it's ten in the morning," Bella reminded him.

"Whatever, Julie will buy me one."

"Who's Julie?"

"My marefriend. You wouldn't understand because you don't have a..." Grammar caught himself before finishing his sentence. He realized it was the wrong time to make such jokes like that, especially in front of a mare he barely even knew. "I'm gonna take a walk." Grammar let go of Kelsey's chair and started to walk in the opposite direction. Bella was left flabbergasted. Celia looked both ways trying to figure out what to say but only ended up stuttering.

"I-I am so sorry Bella, I don't know why he said that, I-" Bella closed her eyes and smiled, trying to hide her anger.

"It's okay. I'm fine."

"I told you this was a bad idea," Kat muttered. "Not even half of them are here yet and somepony already started something. Why was he even invited, he did nothing the entire time he was at Springfields!"

"Kat..." Kelsey said. "I mean, he still helped out!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what did he have to go through? We came here to talk about healing. What does he need to heal from? Stupidity?!"

"Here comes Bookworm!" Bella called. She thanked Bookworm in her head for coming because already, something happened and they needed a distraction.

"Hi," she greeted. She looked around to see who was already there. "Oh, I'm late."

"No not really, we're still waiting on some ponies," Bella assured. Bookworm took a seat next to Kat and opened her book without another word.

"So who are we still waiting for?" Celia asked the blue mare.

"Written Script, Gabe and Glitz," Bella answered. "I don't know why Glitz didn't just come with his brother."

"Well Grammar was with me in Ponyville when you called so..." Kelsey answered.

"What about Abohaty?" Bookworm asked.

"Couldn't get a hold of her, plus she's probably still grieving," Bella responded. She looked both ways to see if anypony else was coming, but the streets were practically empty. "Well, while we wait for those three, what kind of coffee would you guys like?"
