Zilpher looked down at his food. "You don't have to say anymore. I can read your mind, remember?" Shones patted Zilpher on the back, nearly falling off her stool. Zilpher caught her and sat her back down on the stool. "You're clumsy! Goofy child." Zilpher laughed.
Shones jumped down off her stool. "Tino, wake up!" Slowly, Tino lifted his yellowish orange head off of his paws. "I don't feel like going anywhere." Shones and Zilpher both jumped. Zilpher fell off his stool and busted his head on the counter, sending BBQ everywhere.
Everyone in the restaurant burst into laughter. "Today is just not my day." Zilpher stood up and wiped the BBQ off his shirt. "You seem to be out of it today." Tino spoke again. Shones looked surprised, "I didn't know you could talk!...and before you say it,Zy , I knew about the flaming thing." Zilpher looked at Tino with a bored look. "After everything today, I can't believe I jumped at that."
