When Nancy and friends went to use the bathroom inside the restaurant they found to their dismay it was out of order. So, they decided to use the public restrooms in one of the restrooms nearby. After using the restroom the girls were staring and were eager to get back to the restaurant and eat. Out of the blue the girls hear a BOOM!, and rushed outside to see what it was. To their horror they saw the restaurant they were to eat at in flames.
