She'd get strong enough to prevent something like this from happening to anybody else again. She'd be strong enough to protect Kerosene. He was all she had left.
But first she was going to drown her sorrows in some cappuccinos. She'd heard that was some new fad with businessmen in some place called Fourside, and since she couldn't easily get into a bar without Neph and her special connections, a cappuccino would have to do. She stood outside the cafe for several minutes pondering the DivX symbol someone had painted onto the concrete.
She stepped inside, the strong aroma of coffee hitting her like a slap in the face.

He was supposed to be undercover MAYBE HE SHOULD JUST STAY IN THE BACK ROOM AND LET SOMEONE ELSE HANDLE IT. Surely, however, she would not recognize him with his brilliant disguise.
Decisions, decisions.

While Falcon was busy trying to make important life decisions, Vaporeon was just going to. Ding the bell. More than once.

But no matter how brilliant his disguise was, he didn't think he quite wanted to chance it on Samus' roommate, especially if they were all supposed to be undercover. Best to stall until Kyle or Uxie were done cleaning the toilet or whatever they were doing.
"Just a minute." He called.
Brilliant.

Anyway, Vaporeon had a disguise of her own. She clicked her tongue and sighed dramatically. "Wow, too bad I'll have to mention this in my food review for The Final Print..."

He was pretty sure that a Smash Academy student was not an actual reporter, but what did he know? She could easily be a student contributor. He wasn't sure if she was bluffing or not, and, as the Colonel was pretty new to the whole coffee service industry, wasn't sure what to make of food reporters.
"Yes. Well. Someone will be with you. Shortly."

"Taken on a new part-time job, have we? I certainly hope this won't have any impact on your grades." If there was one thing that Uxie simply couldn't resist, it was calling a bluff. Consider it a perk of being a mind-reader. A smug, smug, jerk of a mind-reader. One who would jump at any excuse to not be cleaning the bathroom.
"Well then, what can I get for you?"

"Yeah, speaking of part time jobs, nice bowtie. Teaching wages are that bad, huh?" She squinted up at the menu, completely clueless as to what half the drinks were even supposed to be. Were those names even in English? "Uh... I guess a regular cappuccino. The biggest size you have."
Reply
"Oh, no. I'm not working here for the money. I'm just... helping out an old friend." The rather frigid smile on his face as he explained that kind of hinted otherwise. Nobody who stuck Uxie with toilet-scrubbing was a friend of his, you see. "He's new in town and he's had trouble finding staff, so a few of us are covering until he can hire some proper employees."
And lo, one bit of obnoxious machinery-whirring later, one (1) large cappuccino.

She took a sip of her drink and swished it around in her mouth like any classy coffee connoisseur would do. After a moment she put it down on the counter and made a face. "Make it again."
There wasn't anything wrong with it. But being the one to boss a teacher around was just too tempting.
Reply
Thus: more obnoxious machine-whirring.

She sulked a bit and began drinking. If one looked closely it may have seemed like she was spitting tiny shards of ice into the coffee to cool it down.
"It's not my fault! You're playing some kind of mind games or... something. I keep not studying because I'm positive I've done it all before but then when the tests come I can't remember a thing."
Reply
"Come now, is that really fair? Any student, no matter how clever she fancies herself to be, will inevitably do poorly if she fails to study. My mind games have nothing to do with your lack of preparation whatsoever."
