Yahiamice X Cantaloupe?!?!

Chapter 1 [unforseen disaster]

It was a rainy evening, Yahiamice stood at a bus stop. He was waiting for someone, someone he's known of for a long time, but never truly known as a person. He was asked to meet here, and by the tone of the message, it seemed urgent, as if it couldn't wait a moment longer.
He checks his phone, a few droplets of rain splattering on it's glass surface. They were late, how ironic. He sighs and puts his phone away, wondering if they would ever show up. But just then he saw a familiar face, the one he's been waiting for.

They tumbled twards the bus stop clumsily, only stopping to catch their... uh..something as the stood under the shallow awning of the stop. "Im sorry I took so long, i took a wrong turn because I was worrying about being late. Funny how that works huh?"

Yahiamice nods in response "well at least you're here now."

"Yeah."

They both just stood there for a moment, the sound of rain hitting the asphalt and vehicles driving by filled the air.

"So" yahiamice started, "what did you wanna talk about?

They sighed "A few things, but first lets get out of the rain, your shoes are drenched."

With that they both made their way to a cafe across the street. It was nice and warm inside and had a pleasant but not overwhelming smell of cinnamon and tea. They found a seat by a vent, the warm air drying them off and warming them up.

"Before I say what I need to say, do you wanna order something? My treat." They offer, waiting for a response from yahiamice.

"Are you sure?"

"yeah, of course."

"are you gonna get anything?"

"nah, can't have anything here."

"Well, alright."

A waiter (who's head looked like a daft punk mask) in an apron and cat ears walks up to the table they sit at. "Hewo! May I take your oworder?"

The two sat at the table excanged glances that said, "what in the world-?"

"Your oworder?" the waiter repeated.

Yahiamice snapped out of his confusion "I'll have a hot coco." he said. The waiter nodded his head and jotted the order down in a notepad with a pencil that had a purple dinosuar pencil topper. Then turned his attention to the other individual, "What about you?"

"Oh I'm good, he was the only one ordering." they gesture towards Yahiamice

The waiter nodded again "Oki! order up!", then he skipped away.

after the waiter was out of view yahiamice leaned foward and whispered "What was with the cat ears?"

"Honestly, I have no idea."

"huh, ok. Anyway, you wanted to talk?"

"Oh yes, I'll start with the easier thing first."

Yahiamice blinks, waiting, "well?"

"I- well, I'm not actually a person, I'm a cantaloupe."

Yahia just stared blankly "Uhh, I already knew that, it's pretty obvious."

Cantaloupe sighs in relief, "Oh ok, I was worried."

Yahiamice looked very confused "About what?"

"Nothing! Let's move on, after all I have one more thing to tell you."

Just as Cantaloupe was about to speak, the waiter returns. "One hot cocowo!" he says, yahiamice lifts his hand of the table, waving politely "Oh that's mine." he says. The waiter places the mug of hot coco before yahiamice, as well as a napkin or two "careful, it's hot!". He thanks the waiter, who skipps away again.

Yahiamice takes a momen to appricate the beverage, it's well decorated, with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a little bear shaped marshmellow. "This looks really good, can't believe I haven't heard of this caffe before." He comments. "I've got to agree" says Cantaloupe "looks amazing."

Carefully lifting the mug off the little dish it was served on, Yahiamice takes a sip. "Ow, too hot. I think I burnt my tongue slightly." he gently places the mug back down, sticking out his tongue because of the burn.

"Are you alright?" Cantaloupe asks

"Yeah, just give me a second."

A loud crash can be heard at the entrance of the cafe which draws the attentions of the customers inside. Three horses can be seen, they all have guns and masks, one of them is entirely purple. (a/n: Car reference no way, you know who you are)

One of the horses whinnies (?) loudly, "This is a robbery! Put your wallets in the bag!" the horse spoke, the leader of the three. The other two horses trot from table to table, holding a gun and a bag on their back.

"Oh shit, what do we do?" whispers Yahiamice. Cantaloupe looks around the cafe, looking for something, anything that can help, when they suddenly get an idea. "Yahiamice, do you think you can distract them for a second, I have an idea." they look focused, or about as focused cantaloupe can look.

Yahiamouse thinks for a moment and then nods "Yeah, I can do that."

"Ok, go!" Cantaloupe quickly but quietly rolls away to the larger tables across the cafe.

"Oh no! I dropped my very expensive ring and now I can't find it!" Yahiamice says dramaticly, immediately catching the horses attention. Any smart person would clearly sense that something was off, but they're horses, and horses are stupid. (no offense)

Now was their chance to act! Cantaloupe tore the table cloths off the tables and quickly rolled around the horses legs, using the table cloths to tie them together. Within seconds, the horses where unable to walk, and the second they attempted to do so they tripped and dropped their guns.

A small victory! But it's not over yet, there's still one more horse to deal with. Cantaloupe took both the guns and tossed it over the front counter where the waiter was hiding, he'd keep those safe. 

The boss horse gasped in shock and fury "What?! What just happened!? Get up you buffoons!" The horse shouted at his underlings. Without wasting a moment, Cantaloupe leapt into the air doing what appeard to be a sick backflip and knocked the gun right away from the boss horse.
They land with grace and aim the gun at the horse "Hooves in the air you equine bastard!".

The boss horse sat down and slowly raised their hooves in defeat, clearly furious. 

The police where called and arrived five minutes later, arresting all three of the horses. 
"alright, move it you hay muncher." one of the cops said to the horse boss, who huffs angrily. The other horses follow behind, heads hung in dissapointment.

Yahiamice walks over to Cantaloupe, who just finnished talking to one of the officers about what happened. "Dude that was awesome! How did you do that?" Yahiamice asked, amazed. "Well, I mean, I really don't even know, I just knew someone had to do something, so I did." Cantaloupe said.

"That's pretty corny-" Yahiamice blurted out "wait no, I'm sorry, that came out wrong."

"Heh, don't worry about it, you're right. I would have worded that differently but I think I'm still shaken up a bit."

"Me too. I can't believe that really happened."

"Well-" Just as Cantaloupe was about to speak, they once again where interupted by the waiter.
"Thank you so much for handling those horses! I was so worried that someone would get hurt." the waiter gushed. "oh um yeah." Cantaloupe replied akwardly "So, how much do I owe you for that hot coco?". The waiter waved his hand dismissively "It's on the house, it's the least that I could do."

"And what would be the most?" Yahiamice asked

The waiter blinked, "I mean, I could give you this can of beans." The reached behind them and seemingly out of nowhere a can of Bush's Baked Beans™️ appeared. For the second time that day, Cantaloupe and Yahiamice exchanged a concerned glance. "I think we're good." Cantaloupe said kindly. The waiter shruged "Suit yourself, wait, no, I mean Suwuit yourself!" and with that he walked away.

"Y'know, I think I've had enough human interaction for today." Yahiamice sighed

"Same, but before we part ways," Cantaloupe paused, "I wanna thank you for helping me, I wouldn't have been able to stop the robbers without you, and I'm glad you believed in me."

Yahiamice was caught off guard, grinning and blushing slightly from the thanks. "Oh yeah, no problem!" He stumbled over his words a bit as he spoke "Well it's getting pretty late and I don't wanna miss the bus so I better be going, you know how the bus can be right? hah well great chatting bye! yep!" He rambled as he speed walked away.

"Dispite all the chaos that went down today, I think I enjoyed it" Cantaloupe thought, only to be hit with the realization they never said the one thing they need to say. "oh well, next time. Next time I'll say how I truly feel..."
