Daydreams Cafe

Daydreams Cafe

~~~

You slowly wander down Thread Lane, looking for things to do. A small fistfight breaks out in an alleyway and you steer yourself in the other direction, not wanting trouble. 
The smell of cookies and fragrant tea fill your senses and you follow the smells toward a new building, a small two-story cafe painted pale pink. Clean white curtains hang in the sparkling windows, pots of delicate flowers are positioned next to new wooden benches. The smell of cookies is stronger now, and you can also detect traces of cake and vanilla. A small wooden sign hangs over the open door, reading in neat block letters, Daydreams Cafe. You smile softly and decide to give this place a try. So, slowly, you step in through the door.

My goodness am I flattered to find this wonderful café!

I think I'll try some positivitea, and a songbird pastrie.  And may I ask, how do I pay?  Also, would anyone like to sit with me? If so, I'm sitting at a small table for four near the counter. (With a vase of camellias and babies breath)

This place is awesome!

-Oaklynn

P.S. Would Miss Plum care to introduce herself?

The sound of my songbird pastry snaps me out of my daydream. I jump in my seat and give the smallest little "Yelp!" Luckily, it was very small so it's fairly possible that most of the people in the cafe didn't notice. I tug the strings of my hoodie as I realize that it was just the pastry, feeling embarrassed. Then I notice that pangolin has offered me a half of her pumpkin spice cake. "Thanks!" I take a bite of the cake, noticing the cafe is kind of... quiet. "Huh," I mumble to myself. "How long was I daydreaming? It was much less quiet a moment ago..." I turn my gaze back to the window and barley even notice when Wanderer steals a bite of my half of the pumpkin spice cake, then whispers something with the letter "w" in it to Knight. Then she flutters over and perches on my shoulder. "The rain is nice, right?" I ask Wanderer. I don't really pay much attention to her answer because I'm too busy enjoying the rain falling from the sky.

Oh my goodness, am I glad to have found this cafe again. I rush in to escape the snow (and its aftermath), and take off my trench coat and heavy boots, at Miss. Plums nodded permission, of course. I pad over to the counter in my heavy, fluffy socks to ask for a tall mug of Positivitea and a Motivation cookie. Miss. Plum gives me a steaming mug and a whole plate of fresh cookies, and (kindly) orders me to sit right next to the fire and stay for a while. I happily oblige and breathe a sigh of relief at the feeling of finally relaxing.

I run into Daydreams Cafe (again), slamming the door behind me. It's loud, and I apologize. "Sorry, sorry. Just trying to escape the AEs." Which probably sounds random, but they were basically chasing me down the street. Yet another incident. I just want a moment to myself.

"Sorry," I whisper again as I walk up to the counter. "Could I get one of everything?" This is no time for decisions. "Wait, and maybe some extra motiviation cookies?" So maybe it is time for descisions. Whatever. I need to get some writing done.

Well, looks like I've found myself back again!

This time I would like some Suprise Sparkler Rolls. I am in a very good mood today. I figured earlier that I would look at some of the glasses shops (in case you didn't know, I do wear them) and I found the perfect pair for my new perscription! Wearing the new glasses, I find a seat right next to a small window with a whole bushful of flowers in every color out side.

I walk into Daydreams Café and smell the beautiful smell of Motivational Cookies. Earth sniffs the sweet-smelling air, too.

"Hello, Miss Plum. I was just taking a walk with my AE's CAPTCHA, Earth."

Miss Plum smiles at me from behind the counter. "Ah, and will you remind me of the name of your AE?"

I nod. "Yeah, Azalea. She's always planting stuff and never takes Earth out. Poor guy."

\Waffl essss !!!!! Iican takee caree ofmyy selff !!!!!/

I nod at Earth, but I'm not really agreeing. "Uhuh," I say. Then I turn towards Miss Plum. "Sorry about that. I'll have some Motivational cookies."

She beams. "Of course! Will that be all?"

I scan the flavors, and say, with my mouth watering, "Hmm, well I'll take one of those Songbird Pastries for Earth." 

I lick my lips as she takes them out and puts them in a bag for me. I pay the four zeets and three zoots and walk out of there with visions of cookies dancing in my head.

I look around the cafe and sigh quietly. It's more empty than ever. Wanderer has fallen asleep on my shoulder, possibly because of how much sweet dreams milk she has been having. I listen to the sound of her gentle breathing. I look outside. The rain has stopped and there is a beautiful rainbow in the sky, illuminated by the sun's gentle glow. "Wow," I breathe. I turn to pangolin and nod out the window. "It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Well, looks like it's getting empty. Do I need to close up shop?"
I smile gently and turn to Muffin.
"My dear friend- I think that is a marvelous idea. Let us Call the spirits." I say. Muffin scampers off to start the Call and I raise my arms, flicking my fingers once-twice-thrice and watching as my cafe folds up neatly. I take the small coin and tuck it into my pocket. Muffin comes over with a long scarf in all the colors of the rainbow and I take it gently.
"So now we start again..."

Wait, does this mean the thread is ending?! I was about to post something to keep it going, but then I saw this comment, and now.... I really do think we can all rally up to keep this topped and keep it going, but if you think it's time to shut it down, well, this thread has had a long life, and it's been a good one. If you need to close it, I (and I can't speak for anyone else, but I think they'll agree) will respect that.

If this has to end, I'll be really sad, but, like Snazzycakes said, I respect your decision. This was a really fun thread though!
