Work Text:
Today is finally Monday.
Mary swims through the floor towards the lone pier. Her and Misty are finally off the clock, which means that he can have a little visit, and do his favorite activity with her.
Mary keeps swimming through the floor, seeing the weather above intensifying just a tad bit. Its always a good way to tell if Misty is at the pier, the weather that she influences would always feel just a bit more harder in the middle than any other part if barnacle boatyard. It can be a bit of inconvenience, but Mary doesn't mind.
As Mary nears the edge of the pier, she can see a familiar figure in the distance. The puffy cloud hair, lightning in the hair, and a small lean build, yeah thats Misty alright. she seems to be sitting at the edge of the dock, her favorite place.
Misty turns around after hearing swashing noises from behind. She seems to be startled at first, but immediately looked much happier after realizing it was Mary. As Misty stands up from the edge, Mary rises from the ground.
"You got the goods?" Mary asked, staring at the smaller cog. Misty smiles behind her mask, as she reaches for a random bag that she has. Misty nods, moving her hands around the bag, until she pulls out an entire wheel of cheese from the bag, for her and Mary to share.
Mary looks at the spoils with big eyes, as she was excited to eat the wheel of cheese. It was very strange on how she even discovered that she likes cheese, or even if it is cheese. A toon dropped a trap in front of him, like some sort of spring at one point, and Mary just...took a bite out of it. He doesn't know what it is, but it tasted surprisingly good. So she ate the entire thing...in the middle of a battle...and in front of a few toons and cogs, not that Mary cares.
Mary and Misty both sat on the wet wooden floor, admiring the cheese wheel in all of its glory. Man, it was a good looking cheese wheel all right. Yeah there were a few imperfections, like a small smudge on the wheel and a few cuts, but it was pretty hard to get them due to it being a gag that only toons drop, so it may get damaged from it. That doesn't matter though, since these yellow tons of goodness still looked good.
Misty breaks a part of the cheese for her to nibble, handing the rest to Mary. "Uh, you know you shouldn't shove the entire wheel in your mouth, right?" Misty asks, pulling down her mask to start nibbling her cheese. Mary, on the other hand, shoves the entire half of the wheel into her mouth. "Igh ashor you i dou is mahy tihs, ih aluays gohs fuimmingly."
"Mary, I can't even understand what your saying!" Misty giggles urgently, Trying to hold in her laughter. This was a hilarious sight to see, but she doesn't want Mary to choke himself. These cheese wheels were ridiculously big, and there was no way Misty could finish the cheese wheel by herself, not alone survive biting an entire mouth piece of it.
Mary swallows the entire bite flawlessly, surprisingly not having any problems with it. It kinda spooks Misty. She swears one day that Mary would choke on the pieces of cheese. Even if it doesn't hold actual threats do to suits actually not needing to breath, it can still cause risks in the throat, and Misty would probably not be prepared to face that problem.
But, that won't be the problem that will happen today, an entire different one, in fact.
While they were consuming the spoils, it seems as if a toon were coming their way, from the normal path they use to fight the rainmaker. Now this toon seems to be a tall fat orange mouse, wearing a white shirt and plain blue shorts with a black belt. It seems he came to find a wheel of cheese...that was stolen from him by another cog when he was greened.
The mouse has a grumpy look on his face when he sees the two cogs chilling in the distance. 'That must me them,' the mouse thought. 'Those must be those rapscallions that have my cheese wheel...and they're eating it.' This toon may be taking too much of a risk, a really ridiculous risk, but the orange mouse will have his revenge. If he can't have his cheese wheel, than no one can.
Suddenly, a flying pie sailed through the air, a fruit pie, to be exact. The pie sails through the sky, and landed smack dab at the cheese wheel. The sudden moment startled Mary, and the cheese wheel flew off of his hands, and landed into the water.
'Aha!' thought the mouse. 'Now no one shall have my-' Suddenly, the two cogs stared their yellow eyes right back at him, one looking surprised, while the other looked dead serious. 'Wait, what are these cogs? Aren't these those new cogs that showed up a few months ago?' The orange mouse has never fought any of them before, since they usually stayed at toontown central, so he doesn't have a single piece of knowledge about any of them.
Suddenly, the cog with a chonky build suddenly sank into the floor, the one with the lean build looking down at where the other was just at. Suddenly, the bigger cog appeared right in front of the toon, surprising them. Oh no, this was a big mistake. The orange mouse does not know what they can do, and the mouse is already regretting their decision.
The giant cog stares at the mouse. "Did you threw that pie?" said the cog, eyes glaring at the mouse. The mouse only stood there, never thinking this far into the plan. The cog continues to glare, and then let out a pretty spoopy giggle.
"Well, i am cheesed to meet you."
...
"Man, can't believe those toons tried to blame us for that one random toon going missing, aye Misty?"
After a tiring day of work, the two cogs were finally off the clock, and they were heading back to the pier on a nice Tuesday. There were a bunch of toons that fought today, apparently they were trying to find a toon that went missing or something, and they were prime suspects. But there wasn't really any evidence to blame it on them. (They were definitely at Mary's place) It was strange, they totally didn't have to do anything with it, right? It was best for them to not talk about it.
Anyways, Misty and Mary walked back to the same place they were yesterday. "So, why did you decide to visit me back here?" Asked Misty, sitting down on the floor. Mary sits down right next to her, giving a big smile behind her helmet. "Guess what that mouse got in his inventory?" Whispers Mary, reaching into her pocket. Misty's eyes widen as she pulls out another wheel of cheese, this time a little bit dirtier. "He had another one?!"
Mary peeled some of the dirtier parts of the wheel, making it a bit smaller. "Yep!" She said. "That mouse straight up had another wheel of cheese! Our luck seems to be hight this week." Misty smiles behind her mask, giggling just a small bit. "Well then, lets-"
Mary immediately took a moderate bite of the cheese wheel. Misty eyes perks up. "Wha- hey you gotta give me a small piece!" Mary stares back at her, a playful look in their eyes. "Heh, Sorry, you might have to wait until-" Without warning, Misty suddenly took of her mask, and yoinked Mary's hands holding the wheel forward, taking a massive bite out of the other side of the cheese wheel. They were now both in an awkward position in front of each other, both biting the ends of the cheese wheel like a weird version of that one pocky challenge.
The both of them stared at each other for a moment, and they both started to laugh. Mary did not expect for Misty to actually do that, but it was so goofy looking to see at the other end, sinking her jagged teeth on the other end. They then break apart the cheese wheel so that they won't be stuck in that weird position, since it was causing some back pain.
After finishing the spoils, the two cogs sat right next to each other, looking towards the ocean from behind.
"Well, it was nice spending time with you today after what happened," said Misty. Mary looks back right at her. "Heh, yeah, it went swimmingly today at least."
After what like a minute, Mary felt Misty getting a tad bit closer, and she felt a small little kissy right on her helmet. Mary looks back at her, eyes widening just a small bit. Misty, on the other hand, looks away to the other direction, blushing embarrassingly.
Mary laughs slightly under her breath, putting a hand on Misty's shoulder, pulling her to the side. "...your such a sweet cog, you know that?"
They both stare at the ocean, hugging each other at the edge of the dock.
