Sweet and Savoury Bakery

Choc came in through the doors of the SnS bakery early in the
morning, humming a tune as he walked behind the counter, checked
the cash register and put on his apron. "Just great. Another day
in this uptight city, and another day away from home." Choc said
to himself as he checked the baked goods. "Thank Celestia. Last
night's shift restocked for me. That's one less thing I have to
do." He then proceeded to sit down in a chair behind the
counter, to wait for the day's first customer.

Octavia Melody had never been fond of mornings. Yes, she had
learned to get up whenever necessary, be it 10:00 AM or the
crack of dawn, but that didn't mean she had to like it. Luckily
for her, this was not a morning where she would be racing
against the sun's progress past the horizon. By the time she
actually got out of bed, showered, and ready for her day, it was
nearly... 9:00. AM.
"Hmph. Alright, perhaps I need practice sleeping in and
relaxing." She said as she took a passing glance at the clock,
hoof on the door and ready to open it. She stood deep in thought
on that topic for a few seconds, before finally shrugging,
resettling her precious cello in its case on her back, opening
the door, and stepping through it. Have an apartment on the
second floor was both a blessing and a curse. She was lucky
enough to have a window that overlooked the city, or at least
part of it, and the view was much better then on the ground.
However, the second floor meant stairs. And after a long day,
climbing stairs with a heavy instrument on her back was awful.
Still, there was nothing she could do about it. She trotted
quickly down the stairs, making her way out of the building
complex.
"First priority, breakfast." She said, with a brisk nod as
though she was agreeing with herself. She often cooked meals by
herself, but every one and a while she ate out somewhere, as a
treat. Getting breakfast out was her favorite, since it was both
the cheapest, and the biggest improvement from the food she
would have made herself. She trotted down the street cheerfully,
trying to decide where was calling her the most. She paused
before a rather large bakery, looking up at the sign.
"The Sweet and Savory Bakery? Sounds promising. I wonder how
this place has alluded my attention before; it's so close to my
apartment." She stopped, trying to think if she had even seen
the bakery in passing previously. Nothing came to mind, but that
didn't mean much, she had been known to miss rather obvious
things before. Another shrug, another cello resettling, and she
walked in. The first that came to mind was quaint, more like
something you would see in a town like Ponyville, but not in a
bad way. Off to the left there were a few small tables, only one
of which was occupied, and to the back was the counter, menu,
and display. Octavia walked up to the counter, throwing a quick
smile in the direction of the brown-coated unicorn behind the
counter before looking in the display case.
"Hmm... I have never been here before, so I am not sure what's
good. What would you recommend?" She asked, finally making
steady eye contact with the stallion. Given his cutie mark, she
decided she probably knew what answer was coming, but she had to
give him a chance anyway.

Choc watched as the light grey mare entered the bakery with the
sort of poise you could only find in some pony with a refined
lifestyle. As she asked for a recommendation, Choc stood up and
smiled. "In which case, welcome to the SnS bakery. Hope you find
something you enjoy. Now, recommendations. Hmm...the croissants
have always been a personal favourite of mine. My co-worker,
Sweet Treat, always does an excellent job with them. She also
makes excellent muffins. I would recommend a pretzel or two, but
they aren't the best thing to have for breakfast. So...hmm...I
reckon either a custard and plum croissant, or a berry twist
muffin."

Octavia stood quietly, listening to the stallion's
recommendations. She was a little taken aback by his saying that
croissants were 'a personal favorite' and his only brief mention
of pretzels, as though for whatever reason he wasn't as fond of
them as it would seem.
"I must be honest, I did rather expect you to recommenced
pretzels without hesitation, but I suppose that's narrow-minded
of me, to assume that even a can't have other tastes then the
ones they were gifted with. But, that's not important. The
croissant you mentioned does sound appealing, I think I'll have
one of those. Oh, and do you have any breakfast teas? No quality
pastry breakfast is complete without a nice tea." She asked,
smiling warmly. She didn't have terribly high hopes, this didn't
seem like the tea sort of place, but it never hurt to ask.

"It's like I said. Pretzels aren't exactly the best thing to
have for breakfast. If you had asked me at midday, I would have
recommended them in a heatbeat. I can, however, get you a cup of
tea. It won't be as good as some of those fancy cafés, but I
reckon it will do nicely." Choc walked over to the dislay case
and grabbed out a croissant with his magic, and placed it in a
paper bag. Next, he walked over to a small pot of tea he had
brewing in the corner, and poured some into a foam cup, placing
the lid on as he walked back to the counter. "One croissant and
one cup of tea. Anything else you want?" Choc asked the mare.

Octavia had to resist the urge to reel back in disgust as he put
her precious tea in a foam cup. Well, he probably thought I
wanted it to go. She thought, forcing herself to smile as she
accepted the bag and foam atrocity from the stallion. Although,
he should have asked. Is it still worth making a point and
eating in? What if he did it on purpose? Do they even have real
cups?" She wondered, standing still as she ran through her
possibilities mentally. Suddenly, she remembered his question.
"Oh, um, uh, no, I think that's it. What do I owe you?" She
asked, shaking her head to clear her concerns away at least
until she finished the conversation.

A pink alicorn suddenly bursted through the door and quickly
leaned against it breathing heavily as her wings were extended
horizontally across the door. Her eyes dated around and was
relieved to see the place looked like it had just opened up for
the day.
"Sorry... for this kind of entrance. We were heading towards
Donut Joe's when a mob of ponies came and swarmed us. Celestia
told me to go on ahead and look for another bakery while she
greets the ponies here... I was actually chased in here but I
think I lost them for now." After dusting herself off and
ruffling her wings, Cadance waited behind Octavia trying to act
like any other pony in the store.

Octavia saw as the stallion started to open his mouth, before he
was interrupted by the sound of the door slamming open behind
Octavia. She spun around to see who would so rudely enter the
establishment, but when she laid eyes on the figure her jaw
dropped. Standing before them was the ruler of the Crystal
Empire and the princess of love herself, Princess Cadence. The
princess excused herself, dusted herself off, then lined up
behind Octavia, all the while the the poor gray mare simply
stood in shock. Suddenly, she remembered her manners, and
dropped to the floor in a deep bow.
"P-P-Princess! Please, take my place." She said, rapidly
scooting out of the way to allow the regal alicorn access to the
counter.

Choc regarded Princess Cadence with a confused look. "Oookay
then...hello Princess. It's not often we see you in Canterlot"
Choc stared at the Princess, wondering what exactly was going
on, and worrying about wether the Princess knew about his
secret. "Anyway miss, that'll be five bits. Thanks for stopping
by." As Choc spoke, his eyes darted back and forth between the
Princess and the grey mare, visibly uncomfortable with a
Princess being so close to him, and the possibility of a second
Princess being close by.

"Oh, uh, right. Here." She said sliding the bits to him while
doing her best not to get in the way of the princess. She
promptly backed away from the counter, and over to one of the
tables near the door, sitting down and placing her food on the
table, not taking her eyes of the understandably nervous looking
stallion and the princess.
