Waitress: Are you alright?
Topsy: *forgets for a second she was in pony form, and picks her head up sniffling. The waitress was a cute mare, purple and pink colors and dark comforting eyes* It’s… it’s personal.
Waitress: Are you sure you dont want to get something off your chest? I’ve been known as a good listener.
Topsy: I.. I dont want to talk about this out in the open…
Waitress: But.. there’s no pony here; You’re the first costumer I’ve had all day!
(Topsy looks around and notices the empty chairs and untouched tea cups and coffee mugs. Looks back at the waitress pony and sighs)
Topsy: I.. I got rejected today.. by a pony I really liked.
Waitress: Ooh, ouch. Been there. Here, this is on the house. *she slides a warm cup of chamomile tea to Topsy* It’ll make you feel better.
Topsy: *looks down at the tea and smirks a little bit but still feels a tear or two run down her cheek* Thanks. Whats your name?
Waitress: Lavender Tea.
Topsy: Well.. I appreciate everything you’re trying to do here, Lavender.. But I dont think I can be cheered up right now.
Lavender: … Would a story help? Maybe, like, a story about when I got rejected by somepony too? It might help?
Topsy: … I, I guess so.
*(Lavender went on to tell her about being in the School of Friendship, and her interest in a pony who rejected her feelings. As she listened, Topsy started feeling a little better) *
Topsy: So.. she just straight up called you ‘ugly’ to your face?!
Lavender: She did… And I wont lie, I had some self esteem issues back then.
Topsy: Why? you’re beautiful!
(Topsy gasps and blushes a bit, seeing Lavender blush a bit back)
Lavender: You.. You really think so?
Topsy: Y-yes.. You are. Dont let any pony tell you otherwise.
Lavender: *blushes happily* Thats the sweetest thing I’ve heard all day; I thought I was the one trying to cheer YOU up! *giggles a bit*
Topsy: *turns away a bit and sees the sign for the Hearts and Hooves day special on her wall, and then starts thinking about Mimi again, and tears back up*
Lavender: Hey, hey, no! I just got you to stop crying, stop that! *rushes over and puts her arm around her* It’ll be ok. I promise.
Topsy: How can you be so sure?
Lavender: Because… Getting rejected just means you werent meant to be with that person. They locked the door, so.. Go find another one to open.
Topsy: Have you found anypony yet after the door was shut on you?
Lavender: No.. But I’m still hopeful! You shouldn’t give up either.
Topsy: *sniffles a bit and smiles* Th-thanks, Lavender. Can I take this tea with me?
Lavender: Oh, sure! I was worried you didnt like chamomile for a second! *laughs, relieved*
Topsy: Oh, no, I do - It’s actually one of my favorites.
Lavender: Good, I’m usually good at guessing that.
Topsy: Well, thanks again. You were a big help. *turns to leave*
Lavender: Wait! *calls out after her* I didnt catch your name!
Topsy: Oh, my name is Tops-…. Toooffee? Toffee. My name is Toffee.
Lavender: Well.. it was nice talking to you, Toffee. You’re welcome at my cafe any time! Dont be a stranger. **smiles at her* *
Topsy: *blushes again a bit and nods, rushing out*
