   Today is Monday. Luckily for me, I haven't been enrolled in school yet. Michin wants me to get used to the home before shoving me into another new place.

I've been patiently waiting in the cafe for someone. It doesnt matter who, just someone to talk to. Michin is in the kitchen, so I can't talk to her.

I look at the clock. It reads 2:30pm. The elementary gets out about now, and the high school should be out any minute as well. So hopefully I won't have to wait too long.

The bell on the door jingles, and I look up to see who it is.

It's not Anna, Carson, Toriel, Frisk, or Kat. Man, at this point I would've taken Flowey as company. I haven't seen him in a while.

No, the man who walks in isn't anyone I know.

"Hello sir. What would you like?" I say as he walks up.

"Hello to you too Miss." He says. He takes a minute or so, then addresses me.

"Excuse me, but can I have one of those cinnamon bunnies?"

"Of course sir. It'll be right out."

"Thank you!"

"One cinnamon bunny!" I call towards the kitchen.

Less then two minutes later, a plate is slid in front of me. I smile at Michin.

"Wow, you work fast, Michin!" I say.

"I take pride in my speed." She replies, rolling off.

Wait... Rolling?

I look down, and sure enough, Michin has on roller skates. They rise up a little above the ankle, and strings wrap up her calf like ballet shoes. The laces are yellow, while the skates are green and purple. The sole on bottome is a bright orange. They have two wheels each, instead of four like those trainer skates. I assume those help with speed in the kitchen.

Suddenly music turns on, and a pop song flows through the cafe. I walk to the kitchen door, and decide to peek in.

Inside the kitchen, Michin is fluidly gliding around. She keeps to the beat, occasionally doing a trick on her skates. She twists, turns, jumps, and rolls all around. She lifts a leg, and steadily spins on one skate. Michin pulls several impressive dance moves, made more impressive on skates.

Soon the song ends, and I clap my hands wildly. She turns, but instead of shying away like I would, she takes an exaggerated bow. Her antics make me giggle, and she high fives me before playing another song.

Then I realize I haven't gotten the man his cinnamon bunny.

I quickly speed off, walking the tray over to the man.

"Sorry it is late sir, I got distracted." I say apologetically.

"Rightfully so! I saw that women through the door. Tell her I said she is really good!" He replies.

"Of course! What is your name?"

"The name's Derrick. And you?"

"Call me Daisy." I say, shaking hands.

"Nice to meet you Daisy. I will make sure to come again."

I smile at the man. I don't care about being nervous, I instantly like him. He is kind, nice, and has a good taste in food!

"Goodbye Mr. Derrick!"

"Goodbye Daisy!" He waves before walking out of the cafe.

I walk into the kitchen again, to tell Michin about him.

"Hey Michin! We have a new regular!"

"Really?" She says, pausing her music.

"Yup. His name is Derrick, and he said he loved your roller skate dance!"

"That's nice of him." Michin says. She seems to be blushing slightly.

Looks like this matchmaker has another assignment. Double the couple!

The bell above the door jingles again, and I speed walk back to the counter.

"What's up?"

"Hello my child"

"The human again?"

"H-Hi a-again!"

Anna, Toriel, Kat, Frisk, and Flowey all enter the cafe. I wave, and Frisk comes bounding over. She hugs my mid-section, not being tall enough to reach. Flowey growls, and everyone else smiles.

Anna takes her place behind the counter, relieving me of my shift. I decide to stick around, though.

"Where's Carson?" I ask Anna quietly.

"Just wait." She replies, with an exasperated look.

Suddenly I feel something bump my leg. I look down, and almost break into hysterics.

I bend down like I dropped something.

"Carson! What the Hell are you doing down here!?!" I say between muffled laughs. Carson gives me a terrified look.

"Hiding! W-What does it l-look like?!?" He replies. I give him a mischievous smirk, before standing up.

"Hey Kat? I dropped a quarter. Can you help me look under here?" I say.

Kat gives me a curious look, wondering why I chose her. Carson looks at me with horrified puppy dog eyes.

Kat makes her way around the counter, and Carson pretends he was always there, looking for the quarter.

"Huh? Oh, H-Hello t-there..." Kat says, spotting Carson. Carson's whole face goes red.

"H-H-Hello!" He squeaks.

"Uh... I-I'm Kat."

"C-Carson! N-Nice to meet you!"

Kat bends down to help, and I slowly plan my attack. I give Anna a glance, and it's like she can read my mind.

"IS THAT A COCKCROACH!!!" Anna shouts, a disgusted look on her face.

I twist around wildly, "accidentally" hitting Kat in the process.

"WHERE?!? WHERE!?" I shout in mock horror.

Kat goes tumbling forward...

Right on top of Carson.

"Phew! False alarm! It's just a chocolate chip!" Anna covers. I chuckle at her, smiling.

I stand up, and observe my handywork.

Carson is on bottom, face like a tomato. Kat sits on top, equally red. Her foot is tangled underneath his leg, while her face is on his chest. His hand is in her hair, and her hand is linked with his free arm.

Kat, blushing furiously, frantically apologises and scrambles off.

"I-It's ok! It w-wasn't your fault!" Carson says. Then realization seems to dawn on him, and he gives me a heavy glare. I smile innocently at him.

The whole company sat in Silence, observing the situation. Toriel was fighting a smile, Michin was chuckling, Frisk looked like they were fangirling, HARD, and Flowey looked like he wanted to die.

I'd call this a successful day.
