Bad Feelings All Round

As Ageless had said he would go home after lunch, everyone felt obliged to have lunch with him, although Ageless was the only one eating.

There's a new bakery just opened up over the road, said Ageless. Let's try it.

They all traipsed into the new bakery, which was crowded with people and smelled deliciously of pies.

Ageless was just about to order The Pie of The Month, when Lavender, Baby Pierre and Rabbie turned tail and marched out.

Ageless had little choice but to follow.

What's the matter? he said, feeling rather annoyed.

It's too downmarket for us, sad Lavender. We want to go HERE. And she pointed to an Italian cafe with several empty tables.

Oh alright, grumbled Ageless. But it's a bit rich. I'm the only one eating, and (he glanced at the menu) I don't like the menu at all.

Nevertheless it was three on to one, so Ageless sat down and ordered a bacon and egg foccaccia. The others sat down to watch him eat.

It's dry, said Ageless. I knew it would be.

What's wrong with dry? said Lavender.

Did I say anything was wrong with it? said Ageless, glaring at Lavender.

He ate his bacon and egg foccaccia, burped and stood up.

Let's go Rabbie, he said.

I hate you, said Baby Pierre.
