Author's Note: I have decided to go through with the couple a month idea. This month is NoCo. This story is much more cheerful than the last one. Leave a review, constructive criticism is welcomed.
I don't own Total Drama.
Cody glanced at his watch and sighed. Noah was late. They had arranged to meet at their favorite restaurant and then have lunch with Owen, Eva, and Izzy.
Owen and Izzy were already in the restaurant; Eva was on her way; Noah's whereabouts were unknown. Cody looked at his watch again. Noah still wasn't there.
"Ugh, where is that lazy bookworm?" Cody asked himself.
"I assume you would be referring to me." came Noah's voice. Cody turned around and faced him.
"Well, it's about time Noah-it-all." Cody crossed his arms.
"Don't call me that in public." Noah glanced to see if anybody had heard.
"Way to play it smooth. Come on, Owen and Izzy are waiting." Cody took Noah's hand and led him inside.
"Iron Woman isn't here yet?"
"No, Eva's stuck in traffic. She'll be along in a little while." answered Cody as they walked to their table.
"Hey, little buddy!" Owen stood and crushed Noah in a hug before releasing him.
"Hi, lunchbox. You never get used to those hugs." Noah fixed his hair.
"Hi, Noah! You wouldn't happen to have any fireworks on you, would you?" greets Izzy.
"No, I just used up my last one a minute ago. Darn!" Noah said sarcastically. Izzy frowned sadly for a moment, but perked up when Eva came in.
"Hey, Eva! Do you have any fireworks?"
"No."
"Bummer. Anyways, do you think that they serve any boiled zebra here?"
"Izzy, the answer is the same as it's been for the last five times we've gone here. No." Noah rolled his eyes. Izzy pouted.
A waitress walked up and popped her bubble gum, making Eva's eye twitch.
"Hey, I'm Kristen, I'll be you waitress today because all of the other wait-staff are too afraid of redhead here." she points her pen at Izzy.
"I'm surprised that you're not." says Noah.
"Meh. Anyways, what can I get for you today?" asks the waitress, the gum pops again, Eva's eye twitches again in annoyance. Izzy opens her mouth to speak, but Eva cuts her off.
"I'll have the steak and she'll have the salmon." Eva ordered for both herself and Izzy. Izzy frowns but keeps quiet.
"You want fries with that?" the waitress pops her gum again.
"Do you want me to rip out your hair?" Eva scowls and holds up her fist menacingly.
"No." the waitress whimpers.
"There's your answer." Eva leans back into her seat.
"My turn to order! I'll have the baked potato... Wait, no, the turkey sandwich… Hold on, I changed my mind, the pancakes sound good. Oh, I can't decide… I know, I'll have all of them!" says Owen. The waitress rolls her eyes and writes it down.
"Ok, what about you two?" she turns to Cody and Noah.
"I'll have the spaghetti with a side of salad." they say in unison before blushing.
"Ok, that wasn't planned, just really coincidental." says Cody.
"Ok…" the waitress writes it down and walks into the kitchen. Izzy has a smug smirk on her face.
"What?" demands Noah.
"Oh, nothing." Izzy giggles lightly. Noah glares at her.
"So, what was with you two ordering the same thing at the same time?" asks Eva.
"I'm not really sure, it just happened. So, Owen, how's it going?" Cody quickly changes the topic.
"I'm hungry." Owen pats his growling stomach.
"Tell us something we don't know." Noah rolls his eyes.
"Um, clouds are made of water droplets."
"I already knew that. Try again."
"Caviar is a dish made from fish eggs." Owen tries again.
"I knew that too."
"Darn it! How are you so smart, Noah?"
"I read books." says Noah. Owen accepts his answer and there is silence for a moment.
"Excuse me, I'll be right back." Izzy gets up and walks off in the direction of their waitress. She whispers something to the waitress and slips her what appears to be a piece of paper. The waitress nods and Izzy returns to the table with a smile on her face.
"What was that all about?" asks Eva.
"You'll see." Izzy cackles.
"Ok…" says Cody. Owen starts talking about how much he loves macaroni and cheese. The others are too bored to interrupt him, so he continues to ramble for five minutes. Suddenly, Owen falls silent as his eyes light up. The waitress is staggering under the weight of two large trays of food.
She gives Eva, Izzy and Owen their steak, salmon, baked potato, turkey sandwich and pancakes, respectively. Then she turns to Noah and Cody, places one large plate of spaghetti in between the two of the, gives them two individual salads and walks off with the empty trays without a word.
Noah and Cody look at each other for a moment. There's two of them and only one plate of spaghetti.
"Ok, Izzy. What's the meaning of this?" Noah turns to Izzy and crosses his arms.
