"That sounds really gross! How did you get slimed from lucky clovers?" Hiroyo said with a wince. The human didn't think getting showered in whole clovers would be a bad thing, but from the description maybe they had been mixed with something else? "I'm-well I don't want to say I'm glad that happened to you but I am glad we got to meet!"
"Oh, ah, you're very welcome! She was on the beach, playing volleyball with a Stingmon." Roger pulled back a little as Tink abruptly hugged him. He hadn't been expecting so enthusiastic of a response! Really he hsould have realized such was coming, given out enthusiastic Tink seemed to be about, well, most things. He just was not use to dealing with such a high-energy personality in this way! "Maybe she'll come back for the upcoming volleyball tournament? It's suppose to be held a week or so from now."
"Hmm, you're right, it is rather busy." Hiroyo said. Most of the tables were full! There was one that a couple of Floramon were leaving in a sunny spot that looked good, but how to claim it? If she left the line then that would leave Roger and Tink to carry the food back, and when one of them was perfectly happy with 'carrying' food back in his stomach and the other was smaller than some of the cupcakes that really wasn't an option. If she sent Roger he would definitely manage to pick a fight on the way! There was only one real option. "Hey hey, cover your ears! I'm going to get Morgan to save us a table."
"You know he's probably outta earshot range, right?"
"Only for basic conversation!" She cheekily replied. She promptly put two fingers in her mouth and unleashed a piercing whistle that put an abrupt pause in a few conversations and caused more than a few heads to turn her way. She ignored them all, her face upturned towards the Fanbeemon and one of her hands waving wildly up at Morgan until he waved back. Once he did wave back she pointed first at him then the table where the Floramon were staring at her with confused expressions, repeating the action until she saw the Fanbeemon move in that direction.
Once done she settled back into their spot in line to give a cheeky smile to the Muchomon ahead of them. One of the little red birds huffed and put her wings on her sides and stared at them. "Excuse you! You just blew out my eardrums and we were going to take that table! How dare you cheat like that!" Uh-oh, it appeared not all of the patrons were pleased with her little trick.

"Well..." Tink scrunches up her face and pulls her arms around herself. "I had a collection of lucky clovers. Someone thought it would be a good idea to turn them into a sludge shake and dump it on me... though he didn't mean it to be mean." She returns to being cheerful and energetic. "I'm so glad to have met you too!"
Tink eventually pulls away from the hug, grinning ear-to-ear. "Volleyball huh? I've always wanted to try that, y'know." Except the ball would probably crush her. "Maybe I'll watch when they play!"
The pouty fairy pouts with poutiness, though is here to eat cakes, not poutine. "Will we ever get food," she asks, making grabby hands at the restaurant packed with people. "I don't wanna starve, y'know!"
Luckily, they were not going to. Tink plugs her ears just in time to block out the shrill whistle that gets them a table. However, she notices the mad Muchomon. She flies down to her, giving her biggest teary-eyes and quivering lip. "I'm... I'm so sorry," she cries, "I'm just... oh so hungry. I don't even need that much, I'm so small I'll be done quickly and take my friends with me, I promise! Please don't be mad or mean to me..."

Hiroyo's face twisted in horror at the description offered. "They might not have meant it to be mean, but what kind of person thinks clovers are good in shakes? I know workout fanatics will put whey in their shakes but that's pretty different!"
"You should! I bet if you were cheerleading for them you would definitely get Lilimon's attention." Roger started cackling only to break it off into a cough. "Did we hit a bump in the road, Hiroyo? You kinda shouldered me in the throat." He asked while attempting to tighten his grip on her shoulders. Sadly his feet really didn't work that way so Hiroyo continued on, completely unpunished!
Unless you counted his continued presence.
Hiroyo opened her mouth to say something when the Muchomon spun around, a wide grin on her face as if she was welcoming the oncoming argument. And maybe she had been, but there was a fairy that intervened on her behalf and letting Tink's efforts go to waste would be a real tragedy. Hiroyo schooled her expression into something the Muchomon would consider appropriately apologetic, ignoring Roger's pointed nudges while she did so. "I'm sorry! I was just so eager to get a table I didn't think about the people around me!" She bit her lower lip and did her absolute best to look contrite.
The Muchomon crossed her arms over her chest and huffed. She looked like she was trying to keep her anger flowing but she was quickly losing steam in face of the adorable Tink! "WELL! I guess I can understand. You still can't go in front of us! But what are we going to do about a table?"

Workout fanatic was right on the money. "He... he is a workout fanatic. He thought adding greens to the shake would make it better or something." The thought of actually drinking that makes her skin tint green. Luckily, cakes cure all ills, right? "He's actually not a meanie. He tries really hard but... I don't know what to do with him! Seriously."
If Roger was being sarcastic or teasing, it went right over Tink's head - not that it takes much clearance. "You're right," she excitedly exclaims, "I'm sure they'd want to see and hear me cheer~!" She shakes invisible pompoms imagining it. "That could be fun, too! And maybe I'll get adoring fans!"
At first, Tink was worried that her efforts in calming the Muchomon would backfire, but then Hiroyo jumps in for the assist. "We won't cut, but..." Tink, think. How could she solve this table dilemma? "Um... If I sit on someone's lap or head or something, and one of my friendly friendy friends does too, maybe we could share a table!"

"Hmm, sitting with people I don't know is kinda..." The Muchomon mumbled thoughtfully, one wing curled under her beak as she thought about the offer carefully. At least offering a solution had done much to ease her anger. Her friends gave each other a look that clearly said they really weren't thrilled with the idea.
"Look, that table over there with the umbrella up is emptying!" One of her friends said as he grabbed her by the shoulder and pointed at another of the 'small' tables that a group was leaving. "We won't have to mess around with the umbrella this way, I'll go save it now!"
"NEXT!" The Calcumon at the counter called as the Ebidramon finally made his way out of the area, a relatively small plastic bag with boxy contents hanging off one of his giant claws. The Muchomon's friends quickly started towards the window, the one who had spoken earlier rushing up to give his order and pay his part of the bill before waddling away to claim the previously pointed out table. The Muchomon huffed then hurried to join her other friend at the window, throwing a last comment over her shoulder.
"Don't think this means you're in the clear! You should still feel bad about what you did!"
Hiroyo sighed in relief and wiped the back of her hand across her forehead. "Well, I'm glad we got off easy." She said as she began walking towards the window.
"Maaaan, I was kinda hoping it'd devolve into a br-uh, well deserved scolding!" Roger said, correcting himself immediately when he remembered Tink was there. "You' really are to blame for causing the mess."
"Yeah, but Tink got us out of it!" The human cheerfully replied with a smile for Tink. "I know I was already going to pay for your cake, but don't worry about cost and go all out alright? You really got us through that hassle smoothly!"

Tink sighs dramatically with relief. "Phew... I thought there was gonna be a fight. I don't want anybody hurt because of me!" She actually was worried - she's not exactly good with violence - but it was also partially a show to make sure the situation stays disarmed. "Now we can ALL get be happy without fighting!"
And what does she want? Cake! Glorious delicious mouth-watering yummy cake! And she was allowed to order whatever she wanted, and have it paid for her? This really was her lucky day. But what to get? There were so many different types of cakes in existence, and she was unsure what ones the restaurant had. However, there were obvious choices.
"You said they serve tiny cakes so you can have more than one, right?" Her eyes light up as she realizes all the possible combinations. "I definitely want a chocolate cake... and a strawberry shortcake... does pineapple upside-down cake count as a cake?"

"It'd be a real bummer if we got kicked out 'cause of a fight." Roger chimed in but he didn't sound like he believed his own words at all. He also sounded rather distracted to boot, he was probably thinking hard about his wish. There were so many options!
Hiroyo grinned as Tinker listed off a bunch of cakes, nodding with flavor that was named. "Of course! It's got cake in the name, right? It has to count if it has cake in the name! I was thinking of getting a cupcake sampler platter that would have a bunch of flavors, including the ones you listed. Does that sound good to you? If you can't eat a whole cupcake we can always cut them down to size!" The human was startin to wonder just how much Tinker could actually eat. She was so tiny, maybe not even a whole one?
The Muchomon in front of them seemed to be taking their time picking out what they wanted. One of them, the one that had been giving them problems before, just couldn't seem to make up her mind. Standing in the sun was starting to get warm as well.

Either Tink missed Roger's sarcasm or ignored it. "Yeah... it would have been terrible, y'know? No cake and lots of fighting that would hurt those not wanting to fight... and no cake."
With each flavor of cake Tink mentions that is on the list, she vibrates faster and faster, like jumping up and down but in midair. "This is so fantastic! I mean... these different flavors of cake all served on one platter! I don't even NEED to choose a type of cake! It is amazing! Thank you thank you thank you!" Her eyes sparkle with joy as the anticipation builds.
The anticipation has time to build as the Muchomon in front debate what they want. It seems they are having the same problem Tink is having. Perhaps that means the same solution? "Um... excuse me," Tink tries to say as polite as possible, "I don't mean to bother you but I noticed you're having almost as much trouble choosing as I am. But I had an idea~ Maybe if you can't choose, maybe you could get a sampler plate! That's what I'm going to do, there's no way for me to possibly choose with all these yummy flavors so why not all of them? Otherwise... chocolate cherry cake is super duper yummy, and you don't have to choose between chocolate or something with fruit!"

"I'm not a huge cake fan like Hiroyo here but I've enjoyed just about every kind I've tried so far." Roger said as he shifted around on Hiroyo's shoulders. The human turned her head towards him as far as she could with a suspicious look on her face. The Kunemon's beak opened slightly in a grin. "Since she's giant and has more places to put the cake once she's eaten it."
"You better not be implying what I think you're implying."
"I mean, you keep a regular workout schedule right? So that's definitely muscle I'm feeling." He said in a way that implied that wasn't the case. Hiroyo rolled her eyes and turned her attention solely to Tink.
"You're welcome! I love sampler platters for that reason, but it's way too much to eat when it's just me!" She grinned and waved her hand towards Roger and in the vague direction of where Morgan was perched on their table in the sun. "Eating with others is great for so many reasons!"
The human broke off her comments when Tink went to talk to the customers ahead of them, a smile creeping onto her face. The little fairy seemed to be a very helpful soul!
The Muchomon huffed loudly as she turned back to face the Tinkermon with her beak open as if to argue. "You know that just sounds like the best idea since I couldn't make my mind up!" Her friend quickly cut in, her voice bearing a slightly southern accent. The second Muchomon turned to the counter and ordered that immediately while the first one huff.
"Well! Thanks for your help!" 'I guess.' was left unvocalized but somehow still stated. Luckily it was only a couple minutes before the Muchomon were able to get their food, pay, and be on their way to join their third friend.

Was Roger calling Hiroyo fat? Couldn't be, right? "Well, it is true," Tink admits, "You are pretty big compared to me. So of course you have more places to put it without getting fat!" She smiles innocently. Hiroyo is right about eating with others, though. "If there's enough food to go around, then it is better to eat with nice Digimon... and humans! Food doesn't go to waste and it isn't too quiet!"
Tink's "helpfulness" actually seemed to help for once! She was trying to speed things along without conflict, but a small part of her was happy to have helped - a part that seems to be growing with each human she meets. It seems like it is about to backfire, but at least one of the Muchomon was nice enough to accept the help instead of start a fight. Tink releases a large (for her size) sigh of relief.

"Alright, step up here and get yer sweet treats!" The Calcumon called to the three. Hiroyo would step up almost immediately, grinning with the memory that the adorable fairy who had been sitting on her hat thought that the human wasn't fat at all.
It was the simple things in life that were the best, really.
Seeing who it was that stepped up to the Calcumon broke into a wide smile "Why, I see a couple of familiar faces! And a new helpful one too! I must say little lady, the way you stepped up and helped that Muchomon with picking out something was a big help. She's a regular and it always takes her at least twenty minutes to decide so you were a big help!"
"But was she a big enough help to get discount on her order?" Roger asked with a wry tilt to his head. The Calcumon gave him an 'Oh you' look and then rubbed the place where his chin would be. Roger chimed in again, his voice taking on a sing-song tone. "She is a first time customer! It's always good to be a little generous so they'll come back!~"
"I'm on to you, worm! But you know what, yeah, I think I can give the little fairy a break, say 10% off the order?"
"Yes!" Hiroyo pumped her fist in victory, evidently that was quite a lot for this particular mon to be offering! "If this keeps up I'm going to start taking clover showers myself!"
"Please don't."

It was finally time! Tink's long, difficult, intense journey of patience and determination has finally reached its conclusion! It was finally time to order cake! "Woo, yippee! I can almost taste the tasty tastes of tasty cake~"
The Calcumon running the counter recognized how helpful Tink was, causing her to beam a bright smile for him. Roger sweetens the compliment by getting a discount from how much help Tink gave - meaning she must have helped a lot! "Thank you Calcumon," she says sweetly, "that means so very very much to me! I hope I can come here alll the time!"
She leaves the ordering to the rest of the group, barely holding back her excitement at the thought of all those different types of cakes. Her delicious reverie was ended when Hiroyo mentions taking clover showers. "Eww..." she shudders, then echos Roger's "Please don't". She does look a bit lost in thought afterwards, however. "It did seem to be good luck though... um... if we don't finish all the cake, are we allowed to take some with?"

Hiroyo hid her giggling behind one cupped hand as Tink proclaimed her excitement for cake. It certainly was something Hiroyo was excited for as well! Cake might not be as popular as ice cream for a sweet treat in the heat, but the fact it wouldn't melt away no matter how warm it got was definitely a strong factor in Hiroyo's thoughts.
Not everyone could shovel ice cream down their throat as easily as if they breathed it after all! Some people were absolutely shameless when it came to such things.
Speaking of shamelessness...Hiroyo grinned widely as Tink thanked Calcumon for the discount and pounced on the opportunity. "Well then since I'm treating her that means I get the benefit of the discount today, right, right? In that case we're going to have the large-size mini cupcake sampler please!"
Calcumon rolled his eyes at the human in a good-natured way. He waved a hand at her as he typed up the bill then disappeared into the back to get their order. "You've got it, wait right here."
Roger cackled chuckled to himself as he readjusted himself across Hiroyo's shoulders, his antenna flicking in a way that managed to be very self-satisfied. Of course given the numbers on the bill he had good reason to be pleased with himself! "See, even the one who took a shamrock shower thinks it is a bad idea. Give it up!"
Hiroyo rolled her eyes and gave a dramatic sigh as she reached out to pick up the bill and read it. "If you two insist!"
She was pulling her digivice out of the little clear plastic pouch she kept it in when Calcumon returned with the order on a serving tray - just in time to hear Tink's question about leftover. "Of course ya are! You paid for it, it's yours to do with what you want! You can even throw it away if ya want, but we'd really prefer you share it. If you need bags and boxes to split it up later just come back up to the window!"
Hiroyo handed over her digivice which he took quickly and then scanned it on his register behind the counter, deducting the bits for the cake-based feast and then handing it back. The human had just finished stowing it away and was carefully picking up the platter when the Calcuumon leaned close with a rather shifty look at other nearby patrons before whispering conspiratorially to the group. "Lissen, I don't mind giving you a discount because you helped me out but don't go spreading it around, alright?"

Tink sighs with relief as she discovers she can take out any cakes not eaten. "That's good... there's someone I want to give a cake to..." she replies, looking slightly embarrassed. "I kiiinda feel that I need to after what's hap- never mind, it is none of your business~<3" Despite her words, her tone was sing-song and cheerful. She just doesn't want to share that she might have overreacted to the shamrock sludge incident and is trying to apologize with a cupcake. More importantly...
Tink was so close to getting cakes she could smell it! Both figuratively and literally. Her mouth waters from the sweet smells of all the different types of cake in the restaurant. She would live in here if she could, eating cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! But then what would be dessert? Probably cake.
She snaps out of her hunger-induced fantasy, cakes now actually ready. "Wow... those look... sooo good!" She can't wait to dig in, but holds back as her wing practically create a light show. "Thank you so very very much! Does this mean we're friends?"

Calcumon snorted at the comment that it wasn't any of his business. That was true, so why had she started talking about it? Was she always that thoughtless about what came out of her mouth? Whatever, not his problem. His business was serving up delicious sweet treats to the people of Whitewater and taking their hard-earned bits in payment, and business was booming. He could see another half-dozen customers in line behind the gaggle. "Go on, enjoy yourselves!"
"Thanks for the food!" Hiroyo calls over her shoulder, quickly but carefully carrying the platter of cupcakes over to the table and setting it down. Tink is quick to dig in and she follows suite almost immediately, pausing only to ooh and aah over the lights from her wings. "Do they always do that when you're excited?"
"I believe Roger has something he wanted to ask you, Tink." Morgan said as he picked up a cupcake with a blueberry on top. He examined it closely before carefully unpeeling it and biting into it.
"OH YEAH!" Roger wiggled excitedly before quickly sombering up and facing Tink with a serious expression. "You're a fairy right? So you have super strong friends right?"
"Oh no."
"Shhhh! I wanna fight one!"
"Dumbest idea..."
