The next stop on Gloom's list

Gloom was eager to check out all the different places of Ponyville, and he was hungry so he decided to go to Sugarcube Corner for a nice little treat. Gloom walked up to the counter and stared at all the different foods. It was so hard to decide with what had happened in the Everfree Forest, and what might have happened to Quill. He said out loud to himself "Oh man i have no idea what to order. So hard to decide with so much on my mind.". He stood there and stared at the food, thinking of what to order.

Quill Tip was walking through ponyville, and decided to stop at a sweets shop he had heard about for a snak. Hospital food just wouldn't cut it for him, even if they had offered it to him for free. He walked into sugar cube corner with one of his wings in a brace, and bandages on several locations around his body, as well as one tied around his head. He knew he looked bad, but he told himself it would have been alot worse if that manticore had gotten to him. With his good wing, he carried his trusty quill and scroll, which he set down on a table when he entered the store, then he walked up to the counter to see what kind of delicious food there was to order.

"Hmmmmm..." Gloom said as he looked around at all the food. "I guess i will have 3 cupcakes." He said to the man behind the counter. The man walked in to the kitchen and immediately came back out with the cupcakes. "Thank you sir!" he said as he put his bits on the table to pay for the cupcakes. He held the tray with his mouth and turned around to walk to his table, when he ran into Quill. "Oh hey Quill! What happened to you?! he tried to say, but he had the tray in his mouth, so it came out more like "Hmphyll! Whmhhmphndtyh?". He then ran to a table and put his tray down. He ran back to Quill and said what he meant to say.

"Oh hey Gloom, glad to see you're still in one piece!" Quill said, "I found out that I can outrun a manticore, but I can't fight a tree. I ran head first into one when I turned to see the manticore fly away."

"Ouch! Oh man, I knew I should have come to see if you were okay!" he exclaimed. "Well, what are you going to order?" He asked.

"Hmm, I think I'll have a muffin" Quill said to the pony behind the counter, who disapeared into the kitchen.

"Don't worry about it," Quill said to Gloom "it looks alot worse than it acually is." The baker reapeared with Quill's muffin and after paying for it, Quill took it back to his table.

"So do you know how long it will take for it to get better?" Gloom said while looking at his injury with a concerned look. I really am an idiot for leaving him there by himself like that. What was I thinking! Gloom thought to himself while imagining what pain Quill must have been through.

"Probably 4-6 weeks," QUill said noting Gloom's concerned look, "don't worry I've been through worse." Quill began to eat his muffin while talking.

Gloom stuffed an entire cupcake in his mouth. "Ihm shorry , i cant help myshelf. I'm alwaysh too worried about uddersh." Gloom mumbled while chewing on his tasty treat. He then swallowed his cupcake and proceeded to take a large bite out of his second cupcake.

"It's alright." Quill said. "I'm just glad we both made it out if there alive and for the most part in one piece." Quill picked up part of his muffin, and took a bite, savoring the delicious flavor.

"I'm never going in there again." Gloom said after swallowing the last bite of his delicious cupcake. He then wiped his mouth and proceeded to munch on his last cupcake.

"I might." Quill replied, "I still need to research it to see if it's a good setting for my book. I'll just have to be more careful of where I'm going." He chuckled, realizing that he had escaped a fierce creature that could probably eat him in one bite, only to fly headfirst into a tree. The silliness of that satement just made him want to laugh.

"Well ash long ash you shtay shafe. I don't want you to get hurt again." Gloom said as he kept chewing on his scrumptious cupcake.

"thanks," Quill smiled. "I'l try to stay clear of pony-eating monsters next time." Quill finished his muffin, but wished he could've gone slower on it. It was just SO good!

Gloom swallowed the last bite of his cupcake. Gloom then chuckled at Quills remark. "Well, I should get going. Maybe we'll run into eachother again soon!" Gloom said as he got up and took his tray back to the front counter.

"Maybe," Quill said as he deposited his tray on the counter. He picked up his quill and scroll from his table, and began to walk out the door. "See ya around!" He called to Gloom over his shoulder

"Goodbye!" Gloom said to Quill as she watched him make his way out the door. Gloom then got a napkin and wiped his face. On his way to the front door, he threw his napkin in the trash, and then proceeded to make his way out the door.
