Deadpan and Zen sat across from one another, sipping coffee calmly. Well, Zen was as Deadpan just kept telling joke after joke.

 

"Well, Deadpan, as fun as your jokes are...we must get more customers in here. When I arrived to help you with your cafe, you were struggling to make end's meat. And that hasn't changed." Zen stated.

 

"Oh...right...that." Deadpan frowned. "Wait, I think I see someone coming!"

She mumbled to herself as she stood in front of the counter. Coffee, she'd think coffee was obvious, it was called a cafe, and cafe was french for coffee, so they had to sell coffee. She needed her morning coffee anyways, that and a snack. She looked around noticing how quiet and empty it was. Looking at the baristas again she knew there was really only one way to know, she would just look at the menu. But it seemed one of them was drinking coffee. "Hey. Um..." She looked up, did seem like there was coffee. Luckily, otherwise the name of the cafe was just a piece of irony. "Can I get a coffee? With double cream and sugar?" She tapped the counter a bit. "And maybe a donut, or bagel, whichever one you have."

"Ohh, you're outta luck, kid. We don't have those. Stopped sellin' em ever since some kids tried to use them as-" before Deadpan could finish, Zen put a hoof in his mouth.

 

"Deadpan, the fact we don't sell bagels anymore would have been fine. The description as to why was completely unnecessary." Zen scolded.

 

"But yeah, we can get your coffee." Deadpan said, spitting out Zen's hoof.

 

"I'll be right on that!" Zen smiled and darted into the kitchen.

"I hadn't really noticed this cafe here before." She pointed out as she let one of her hooves lay on the counter and looked throughout the cafe, yet again noticing the lack of other ponies. "Looks like other ponies here haven't either." She looked back to Deadpan. "I like to give new restaurants or cafes a go every now and then, like this one." She said gesturing to the cafe around her. "I think it helps their business."

"Oh! Um, long story short: I somehow developed psychic abilities after witnessing....a tragedy as a child. I do not want to speak about it." Zen admitted, her grin slowly fading into a frown. Not because of the abilities, but from the 'tragedy' she brought up.

"Don't worry, Crystal, the 'Actual Bacon' is just a publicity stun. In all honesty it's actually TofuBacon." Zen explained after seeing Crystal's worried face. After a few minutes, Deadpan came back in and hands Crystal the cupcake.
