Magi: Hmm, that smells good! Is it almost ready Chars?

Charles: Yes give me a minute.

Everyone was sitting at the diner table with a plate in front of them, while Charles was cooking some pancakes. Charles wasn't an expert at cooking but he knew the basics. Fortunately for them, pancakes were a specialty of Charles, he would flip them in the air and they would land right back in the pan.

Amy: Magi, you want orange juice or milk?

Magi: Hmm, *thinks* orange juice!

Amy: And you Dulce? OJ or milk?

Magi: M-Milk p-please.

Amy got to serving drinks for the girls while Charles finished tossing the last of the pancakes. This was one of the few times that they got to relax and eat in peace.

Charles: Did someone order pancakes?

Magi: Oh me! I did! Pancakes!

Amy: Don't you think you overdid it Chars?

Charles placed a large stack of pancakes on the table. Dulce was sitting across Amy so when Charles put the pancakes down they completely covered Dulce.

Charles: Damn it Amy we don't know when our next meal will be, so eat as much a possible, and if there are leftovers then we'll just take them with us. Anyway, let's eat!

Everyone grabbed pancake after pancake. Except for Dulce that was still on her first pancake.

Charles: Dulce? Do you not like pancakes?

Dulce: W-What? Uh yes, I do! Why?

Charles: Because you are still on your first one. Wait I know, here.

Charles grabbed the syrup and poured it onto her pancake. "Go ahead, try it now," Charles told Dulce. Her eyes lit up as she took the bite. This was probably her first time eating pancakes with syrup. And so the CAFE gang ate and ate until there were only 2 pancakes left.

Magi: *rubbing her tummy* Oof I'm so full. I think I'm gonna take a nap.

Amy: That's because you ate like 6 pancakes!

Charles: Well she is a growing girl.

They shared a small laugh, who knew such a small person could eat so many pancakes. And so they all finished eating and took a small nap. The road ahead of them is harsh, so moments like this are a blessing. No catgirls, no danger. Well, no catgirls besides Dulce. But Dulce was too sweet and would never hurt anyone. Who knows when they will get another chance like this.
