"Actually, Windy, if you don't mind me in asking, " Curious started to reply.

 

"Which, considering how you are going on and on about it," Curious mentally added.

 

"What exactly is this job you got? Who are you working for?" You mentioned some sort of real estate company? Why exactly would they hire you, no questions asked?" Curious finished. He just had so many questions about this unusual stroke of luck for Windy.

"Sure! Its called Real Sidneigh Company. I believe I'm in some sort of management position, but I believe that that postion is just a technicality, I think the big boss, name's Mr. Margins, wants to take me in as his protege! He says he 'sees a lot of himself in me', and that he believes I have the natural talent and ability to make it big in finance! As for how I got the position so easily, I guess it was a true lucky break. So I didn't hear all the details, but apparently Mr. Margins has an old buddy of his from college that I worked for a few summers ago, which I believe was when I worked for a construction firm to make some extra cheddar and the boss took a shine to me. I think that boss was Margin's buddy. So anyways, this pony recommended me to Margins, and bam! Hired on the spot, no questions asked! I really do like Mr. Margins though, he is such a well put together stallion. Handsome, rich, cultured, perfect! He's everything I've ever wanted to be! And if he sees himself in me, then whose to say I can't be just as incredible?" Windy said, with a starry-eyed wonder painted all over his face.

"Margins... Margins... doesn't sound familiar. Guess Windy just did get lucky."

 

"Heh, right, Windy, I am sure you are going to be incredible someday." Curious couldn't resist teasing.

 

"So, anything else of note? We didn't much get to talk this morning with all the... confusion."

 

Curious realized he should probably qualify his question, "And before you mention it, I do not want to hear any details about what you and Vinyl were up to."

Snickering, Windy shook his head, "Wasn't planning on telling you anyways, a gentlecolt never kisses and tells. Or in this case gets kissed on his... never mind. And yeah, don't doubt me Curious! One day you'll see my name all up in headlines! 'The Most Successful Stallion in Equestria' 'Sultan of Sydneigh!' and a bunch of cool titles. You'll probably be investigating me for business fraud or something by that point." Windy said idly. "As for things of importance this morning, yeah, while you were out, Vinyl let slip while talking to Mystic that they are both assassins. I'm still wondering exactly how to take the fact that I'm nailing a mare who could literally kill me in about forty different ways just using my own mane."

Cuppie walked along side Dogboots for a while not talking looking around at the stores and until she gasped rushing over to a lone stall on a street corner. She ran over to it picking up a bag and turning around to face Dogboots and holding up the bag flapping her wings happily. Inside the bag were over a dozen small dark brown spheres, "Warburos! I completely forgot see you put them inside the bater of cupcakes or muffins and they melt in the center when you bake them so you dont have to add filling."

 

Her face was pure joy and she was almost bouncing with giddyness as she sniffed the bag, "these ones are Germane chocolate and should be more expensive but I can afford it," she tossed a few bits onto the stalls counter then checking the price again she tossed a few more and turned back to him beaming, "these are very rare I knew I was going to find warburos but.... Germane chocolate! That's just crazy. I need to go back to the bakery there's a recipe i need to try with these I'll see you later baby." she kissed his cheek and smiled at him.

"Wait, Mystic and Vinyl are both assassins? Sweet Celestia, I would have never figured that," Curious said with a slight chuckle. "Look, yeah it can be a bit jarring at first, but I've never known Vinyl to be a liar..." Curious's voice trailed off a bit in thought.

 

"Then again, can't say she hasn't changed since last we met. But from what I can tell, it's for the better." Curious tugged at his scarf. "I mean, we all have some parts of our past we'd rather get away from."

Cuppie cake was thrilled to have found more than the Warburos and it made the stallion smile. It was rare for the earth pony to smile, but every time he was near the beautiful mare, he couldn't help but smile. Soon the she kissed him on the cheek and with a smile, headed back to the bakery. Dogboots stood there motionless on the side of the street with a hoof on his cheek and his face turning red. A wide grin was quite visible on the stallion's face. Soon the colt began making his way back to the apartment.

[slimmyjimjim 35]

"I'm home!" she shouted bursting throught the door and marching straight toward the kitchen and preparing the ingredients to make muffins flour, eggs, water, cinnamin, butter, etc. These ingredients were unique while Cooks ingredients were to make professional and expessive goods and Dogboots' were made more of a "I just moved in pancakes" feel these were more homey looking like "grandma made an apple pie" kinda desserts. This only reminded her more of home but she pushed that to the back of her mind and focused on making the muffins, before she put them into the oven she added a warburo to each of the cups that held the bater and set the timer. Going up stairs and looking into the room she was given by Flour Dust just the day before she walked in noticing a package on the bed and picked it up looking at the writing on it "It's from Cook!" she ripped open the package and looked inside to find a small bakers hat and a note...

 

Dear CC,

         We all miss you on this big ol' boat this kitchen just isn't the same without you. The manager still hasn't noticed you left yet but it's only a matter of time, but we aren't worried Cutting Edge suggested that he dress up like you and be in your place but I declined his offer. Hope my sister hasn't been too much of a pain I forgot to tell you that she's my exact opposite hopefully her flu will be over soon and you can return with your travels I've left you this hat that was my own when I was your age take care of it and think of us every time you wear it. We will hold auditions for the part of CC as soon as we can but know that we could never replace you so don't ever replace us.

 

Love,

The kitchen crew of the S.S. Everfree

 

...tears welled up in Cuppies eyes and she brushed her bangs from her face to wipe away the tears and read and reread the letter over and over again savoring every word until her tears dotted the page. Not wanting the note to get ruined she set it aside and picked up the hat and turning it over in her hooves and gasped seeing an embroidary on the side in light pink, intricately designed letters was two letters "CC" which she thought to mean Cuppie Cake and put it on her head a perfect fit.

 

Hearing the timer for the muffins go off she went down stairs just as Flour was coming through the door making the bell above it chime, "I see you've got Cookie's hat," she remarked walking past Cuppie and up the stairs.

"excuse me?"

"That's her hat, it's Cookie Cutter's I remember it from when we were kids." she walked up the stairs and to her own room shutting the door behind her.

"the 'CC' on the hat isn't for Cuppie Cake it's for Cookie Cutter," she giggled, "I finally figured out Cooks real name!" skipping into the kitchen and taking out the muffins setting them on a cooling rack a huge grin on her face the entire time.

Dogboots had returned to his apartment after being with Cuppie for nearly an entire afternoon. Though it felt empty without the mare, in the apartment. Something about her made the place seem more alive.

 

"I really need to decorate this place. It's way too bland and lacks taste. Maybe Cuppie could help me out with that sometime," He thought to himself. The earth pony looked out the window and saw some dark clouds approaching.

 

"Looks like a storm is on the way. Good, I can get some sleep then,"

[slimmyjimjim 35]

The bell above the bakery door chimmed as Cuppie walked out the door humming a cheery tune with half a dozen muffins in the bag on her back. The smell filled the street around her and left a trail of scents behind her making everyponies mouth watering. She walked over to where Dogboots apartment was and began to climb the stairs proud that she was now getting the hang of this city. The hall filling up with the smell of cinnamon and sugar she arrived at his door took a deep breath and knocked.

A delightful odor had penetrated through the walls of Dogboots apartment, it wasn't the usual 2nd hand smoke smell either. It was something more...sweet. The stallion put down his book and opened the door to see Cuppie Cake standing there with a smile on her face.

 

"H-hey, come on in," He said opening the door for the pegasi.

 

"What's that wonderful smell? Seriously, it's making my stomach growl," He said remarking about the wonderful smell that began to fill the apartment.

"We do? I mean, my past isn't really tragic, incriminating, or eventful.  It just kinda... happened, I don't know. I mean, sure I cheated on the occasional test or partaked in underage drinking, but I don't have any skeletons in the closet. Maybe I just haven't lived fully... On the note of skeletons in the closet, were you and Vinyl ever... you know, knocking the boots, as it were?" Windy asked as they headed back to the apartment. "Also, that offer of me cooking for us might be put on hold, before I left, I heard our mares talking about going to a bar together. Hehe time to see how you hold you liquor bro..."

Letting the smell fill the air in the room she trotted in listening to the rain hitting the window pane, "looks like I got here jusr in time. Og these?" She pulled out the box of muffins and setting it down on the counter. "It's cinnamon crumble swirl with a chocolate center." She grinned proud of herself for having made such a prize and then humbled herself, "it's just something I whipped up." Waving a hoof nonchalant paused and then giggled opening the box and picking up a warm muffin offering it to him.

"What? Me and Vinyl... no-no-no. I mean, last we met we were hardly even old enough to even think of such things."

 

"Though, she might have had those thoughts anyway..."

 

"All that ever went on between us was strictly professional. Worst business decision I had ever made, and not to mention I'll never have another opportunity to show my face in Canterlot, let alone the Grand Galloping Gala, after that fiasco."

 

Curious then remembered that he didn't intend to share the circumstances surrounding that whole event, and decided it was better to change the topic. "And I'll have you know that I can hold alcohol very well."

 

"Though... knowing how to discreetly signal the barkeep to dilute the drink always helps."

The earth pony had to contain himself from drooling at the delicacy that was offered to him. He took the muffin from the mare's hoof and took a bite out of the muffin. His eyes widened in surprise, it was unlike anything the stallion had ever tasted in his entire life. Dogboots soon devoured the muffin like mad man.

 

"Words...words cannot describe how amazing this is and how amazing you are," He said complimenting Cuppie Cake before grabbing another muffin.

Mystic jumped back out of the window and started to hop along the rooftops again, landing ground level in front of the bar, she realised the boys havent arrived yet and waited outside for them

Cuppie laughed and blushed at his compliment then laughed harder noticing the crumbs getting all over the front of his jump suit, "looks like you'll have to wash that." She said pointing at the mess he was making while outside the wind was beginning to howl as the rain picked up pouring down now.

"Eff fine," He said while shuffling down another muffin. The colt did take note of the mess he made but soon dusted off some of the crumbles off the jumpsuit. Though Cuppie Cake was correct, he would have to wash it, though now wouldn't be a good time.

 

"You going to have some?" He asked the mare who sat there smiling at him.

[slimmyjimjim 35]

There was hesitation before she shook her head, "oh no I'm deathly allergic to cinnamon one bite and I'd be in the ER." An awkward laugh followed by a cough, "ehem besides I made these for you and I love seeing my customers eat my sweets." Another cough and she lightly kissed the tip of his ear then his cheek her lips hovering over his coat.
