Welcome to Gaia! ::

"REALLY nice food, she isn't as great as some more professional cooks but she is fantastic at what she can do, she is cheap when it comes to themes, she will do what she can with what she can do but to make the theme go that extra mile, make the place REALLY stand out in the crowd of other cafes and what not, she won't have anything to go with them, for example, the waiters here could be using gadgets like electronic pads to write the orders down or have ponys teleport to the kitchen with their orders or something but as fantastic a cook she is and how great she is with magic she cares to be lazy and not go that extra mile which makes this themed cafe cool but a little stupid as well. However we came for the food and that is what we are needing to order" she said as the waitress came over.

"Good afternoon, I am Bleeding Rose" she said as she eyed Silverwind, hating the fact that THEY just had to pick HER table but as a professional she carried on like normal "and I will be your waitress for today" she said as she handed them a menu each "take a look at what you wish to order and I will be back to see you soon" she said as she left them to it.

Silverwind sighed as she let the other leave and wished now she hadn't come here "you know, if you want, we could just leave eating here and go somewhere else..." she said as she watched her sister bust tables elsewhere before looking back at the demon "really, I don't mind, heck, we could skip eating altogether" she suggested, not really wanting to stick around and have her sister wait on them, the less she saw of her the better.

"Lets just say the wait staff is horrible" she said as she got up and started to leave before having her sister call out to her.

"Mom and dad are fine you know" she called, thankfully not many people were in, the lunch time rush had been and gone "the least you could of done is ask about them, they ARE still your parents" she said as she walked over and put the tray of dirty dishes to the side where the dish washer could get them.

"And that would be why..." she said with a sigh as she sat back down, seeing her sister walk over "Demon boy, my sister, Bleeding Rose, the favourite of our parents" she said as Bleeding Rose stopped by the booth "they have been worried about you you know, wondering when their older daughter will come home to visit, it has been two years since your last visit, if it wasn't for moms seer ability she would never know you were alright or not. Come home once in a while, seriously, Silverwind, they miss you! I still live at home, i still don't accept their help with anything so why are you so snooty and not wanting to live with us? You and I may not get along but as a plea for our parents sake, come home!" She said as she turned and walked off.

"Bleeding and I never have gotten along, I was the older then seven years later our parents had her but I was seven by then, I had my own life, my own friends, we tried to get along, we tried to be sisters but my life was just too busy with going to birthday parties and sleep overs etc that when she was 7 she was the sort of one friend pony, she didn't make friends as easily as I did so her life wasn't as busy and so as we grew up we just grew further and further apart. We have had several attempts at trying to rebuild what we lost but no such luck and so in the end we both ended up hating spending time with each other more then trying to build what we lost and we haven't been right ever since and that is why I said I was an only child because we both pretty much think that, we know we are sisters but we would rather it not be the case.

So I apologize for lying to you but in our case we share parents and that is it, no more, the gap between us age wise is one thing but the gap that we have as sisters is even bigger so we both just tell others we are an only child until something like this comes up and she or I need to speak to each other" she said with a sigh as she toyed with the bent corner of the menu.

"Fair point that" she said as she nodded "yeah, might as well since we are here" she said as she looked over the menu "besides, I am craving for one of Carmens milkshakes, I don't know where she gets the ice cream from but she never uses anything but the creamiest ice cream, it is to die for, all her ice cream dishes are like that, some say she makes the ice cream herself and others says she gets it brought in but either way it is just so much nicer then just ordinary ice cream in milkshakes, it makes them taste better" she said as she pondered what to have for the main.

"That is actually a favourite of mine, the fish is caught fresh each day and cooked the same day, nothing is ever frozen or refrigerated unless it has to, Carmen doesn't believe in freezing foods unless need be so everything is always made fresh" she said as she looked at her menu "and the milkshakes are nice" she said as she looked at the nachos and wedges "might have the wedges or nachos, been ages since I have had anything like that" she said as she, having missed eating here, it had been several months thanks to Red she has been able to have meals at home...not that home was a home but still.

"Fine choice and I think I will go with the wedges and a milkshake but as for flavour I usually go with mint but my other favourite is strawberry or chocolate with carmel coming in third but since this is your first time trying them, if you like chocolate, may I suggest that one? It is just that whilst you may like peppermint in some things you may not like it in others so it is just experimenting but if you wish to just stick with what a lot of people will say is their 'favourite' then it is an old school fave but still it rings strong and true today" she said, meaning this is nothing more then a suggestion as it was up to he what he wished to order at the end of it all.

Bleeding had just levitated five plates of food through the door with no effort at all placed each plate down on the right table and smiled at an elderly Hypogryph that was seated at one of the tables she was visiting "sure, Grandpa, I will be back in a moment" she said as she kissed his cheek and walked over to her sisters table, a table she REALLY didn't want to wait on but whatever, nothing she can do, no one else was on so it was left up to her.

"Silverwind, our grandfather is over there, go say hi" she said as she pointed at the hypogryph "it is his birthday, I bet you didn't even remember" she said as she looked at her sister.

"Didn't remember!? I go visit him EVERY year! I take him cake, a birthday card AND a voucher to his favourite shop! Not once in all the time I have been gone and been visiting him has he EVER got a visit from you! YOU just send him a gift and a card through the mail! If you have gone it is very rarely and not worth even remembering because he has NEVER mentioned YOU going to his place and spending time out with him, I visit him ALL the time! I may not visit home but I always remember to take time out to visit our only grandparent left. I visit him three times a week and what do you do? A once in a blue moon visit? Something tells me little sister that YOU are the one who needs to go visit him, don't start preaching to me about being a good granddaughter when you are the one setting the bad example!" She said as she got up "you know what what, forget about you being our waitress I will do it myself" she said as she walked to the back of the counter, quickly wrote down their order and handed it to Carmen.

Carmen stopped and looked up at the white hoof coming through the window and then looked up to see who it matched with and smiled "Silverwind!" She said as she stopped what she was doing and rand out of the kitchen and hugged her "oh Silver! I have missed you so much! How have you been? How is the job? Are you still living in that shack? You know you can always stay with me" She said as Silverwind answered her question which made Carman sigh.

"It is alright, Carmen, I promise! I thank you for the offer but I couldn't, when I am living on the streets of Harmonia THEN I may come seeking refuge from you but till them I am fine, really, not sure if I can handle being waited on by my little sister but I am fine" she said as she pushed Carmen away "now go, back to work, there are people who will want their food" she said as she smiled at her "we can catch up later" she said as she watched Carmen nod and turn back to the kitchen.

Silverwind left the counter and walked back over to the table and smirked at her sister "and that, my dear sister, is how to get on well with the owner of this joint, YOU only got this job because I left, I was offered a much better job, I admit it hasn't been the best paying job exactly but at least I am out and about and not sitting around here and and doing this day in and day out! I love Carmen, she has become a dear friend to me, but if it wasn't for me RECOMMENDING you when you needed a job you would have never gotten this one. So yes, dearest sister, I DO care about my family, Carmen never told you it was because of me you got this job because I told her not to but I do care about my family even if I don't always show it, I even care about you even though I don't always show it but whilst we may never be close or never get along just remember that if you died tomorrow I WOULD be upset, I WOULD be crying at your funeral, I WOULD hate to not be without a sister.

No matter what happens in my life dearest sister I will ALWAYS care about my family and that means you as well, we are blood, always will be, nothing can break that connection but what that means also is that I am not one to sit around and expect to have tea and scones with you when our sisterly bond will never happen, no matter how hard we try, you and I will NEVER have that close bond that we should have had and that is sad, sure, but I have learnt to live with it as have you so we just carry on like we have been we are sisters in title and family but nothing else." She said as she sat down and her sister stood there for a few moments just looking at her, watching her, registering what she had just been told and really, it was a nice to see her smart a** sister shut up for once.

Bleeding was seeing red but she could do and say nothing, she was working, but what she did do was raise a hoof, ready to slap her sister when she was just glared at by her.

"Do that and I swear you will lose this job in a heartbeat, Carmen and I are pretty much best friends and if I remember correctly you need this job to try and open up your own flower shop and Carmen, being the kind of pony she is, she is paying you MY wage which means that technically you should be on minimum wage still since I only left this job five months ago but no, she was kind enough to let you have my wage so you better stop and think about what you are doing because if you slap me you will be fired and you know how hard it is to get a job in this city" Silverwind said all casual as she turned back to the demon she was sitting with.

Bleeding lowered her hoof and stormed off, she LOATHED that her sister had a point (alright, granted, her sister had several points which she would never admit, but this one was most important) but she did, she needed this job since she is saving for a flower shop but did her sister have to be so damn right?! And her sister GAVE HER THIS JOB!? UGH! She was going to take a break, even if it is just for 10 minutes, she needed some fresh air.

"I apologize for that but I do need to go see my grandfather for a few moments, can you give me a couple of minutes? I just wish to tell him that I will be around later to see him" she said, knowing that this was rude but he was her only grandparent left.

"Thank you" she said as she got up and walked over to her grandfather who was sitting with a friend "excuse me for just one moment, I am Silverwind, his granddaughter" she said to the friend and looked at her grandfather and kissed his cheek "happy birthday grandfather, I just thought I would pop by and tell you I will be around later, like usual" she said as she smiled at him.

"Silverwind, sweetheart, thank you and I look forward to it, same cake?"

"Maybe a little different this year as it is a mile stone birthday but I promise it will be a delicious cake nevertheless, just make sure you have the tea ready" she said as she kissed him once more "I best be going back to my friend, my apologies for intruoting you" she said as she turned and left and walked back to the table and sat back down. "Sorry about that, Demon Boy, but I don't think we will be bothered by my sister again, I worked here for ten years, I will collect our food once it is ready" she said as she poured herself a complementary glass of water that was sitting in the bottle on the table "care fo a glass?"
