QUILL POV:

I spent the rest of the night at the tower. My nose stopped bleeding and I did try to watch TV. It wasn't easy when you have no idea what's on. I woke up the next morning ready to go for a run around town. We spend a lot of time in space so when we spend the night somewhere I like to fit in a morning jog before breakfast.

I got dressed and took my translator with me. I also have some American money that I keep for when we visit earth. I left the tower and started to run around town. It's nice outside today and the sunrise is great.

"On your left" said Steve.

I jumped and bumped into Steve.

"Sorry I, une second" I said.

I grabbed my translator and typed in the words.

"What are you doing up" asked the speaker.

"Same as you. Out for a run. Plus im not sure you're father wants you out here alone" said Steve.

I read the screen and rolled my eyes before typing.

"Just try to keep up old man" said the speaker.

Steve laughed a little and we started running again. I must be out of shape though because Steve is faster then me. Like super fast. Or maybe it's the syrem. We ran for a few blocks before Steve and I stopped somewhere for coffee. I looked at the menu and could see that it's all in English. I usually do a pumpkin spice coffee. I typed it into the machine to translate it to English and looked at the menu. Steve had to help me find it and order a medium.

"How much for the cupcakes" the speaker asked.

"The what" asked the worker.

"I think he means the donuts. He doesn't know English" said Steve.

The worker walked over to a counter with donuts and pointed to one asking if that's the one I wanted. I shook my head no. Which lead to pointing at more before going to the bagels. I pointed at the cupcakes. The worker chuckled and walked back over to us.

"Muffins" said the worker.

I don't remember these flavors of cupcakes on earth. And why is there no frosting? Is frosting outdated? I pointed at the chocolate one with chocolate chips.

"That one please" the speaker said.

The worker put it in a bag and Steve continued to order for everyone at the tower. Which was donuts both with and without frosting. The plain ones look more like a bread then dessert. There was also more of the cupcakes. Steve and I sat at a table with our breakfast. Which for me is a pumpkin spice coffee with whip cream and a, what the hell? I am confused by this cupcake.

It's delicious but I am surprised by the taste. It taste, odd. Like a cupcake taste sweet and like a dessert. This, is not that. Steve chuckled at my confusion. I continued to eat the cupcake but examining it as well.

"What is this" I had the speaker ask.

"A muffin" said Steve as he ate his donut.

I looked at the screen. A muffin? What's a muffin? Maybe it's a type of breakfast cupcake. Like how you can have scrambled and hard boiled eggs. They are both eggs. I continued eating the muffin cupcake thingy. I am a little disappointed but it's still good. I watched as people entered the shop and saw one person enter. They were wearing a shirt that had a logo of some kind on it. Now normally I would go say hi but we don't even speak the same language.
