Chapter 1

CRASH! "What the hell was that?!"

I ran into the kitchen and saw one of my employees, Sophie, crying at a broken plate.

"I'm so sorry, Nadia. It was an accident, I swear!"

I smiled and patted Sophie's shoulder. "I'm not angry with you, Sophie. Accidents happen, just try to be a little more careful next time, okay?"

Sophie smiled and hugged me tightly. "You're the best boss ever, Nadia!"

Sophie started cleaning up as I went back to set up the tables. You see, I am the manager of a cafe...I know I'm only 16 but this is no ordinary cafe. This cafe is for specific people...Welcome to the Cartoon Cafe!

This cafe is for cartoon characters from all over the animated world, from Anime to Disney and so on and so forth. I opened this cafe only a few months ago and it became a big hit very fast. I created this cafe because many characters that I know kept on complaining that there was nowhere good enough for them to just relax and hang out, so I created this cafe to help them.

As I continued setting out the tables, another one of my employees rushed over. "Nadia, we've ran a bit low on cake ingredients...Do you want me to go out and get some?"

I smiled "Yes please, Becca, if you don't mind."

Rebecca, or Becca for short, is my best friend. Whenever I'm ill or away for work she is in charge of the cafe...She's like my assistant manager. Becca nodded and ran out to get the ingredients. After I finished setting up the large table, another friend and employee of mine came up to me with a board in her hands.

"Ah, Kate. Just the girl I wanted to see, so who is coming tonight?"

Kate showed me the list. "Well, Ciel and Sebastian are coming as always, we have new customers...the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the new 2012 series."

I nodded. "And I see we have some Disney characters as well...Alright, thanks Kate."

She ran off to get her uniform on as Becca came back. "I have the ingredients, I'll give them to the chefs."

I nodded. "Thanks, oh and make sure to get changed afterwards...It's almost time to open."

Becca's eyes widened and she ran off to do what she needed to do. I went and got changed into my uniform as well. My uniform was a blue, slightly frilly dress with a little apron around my waist while the others wore black trousers and a blue top with the apron at the waist...They weren't too fond of the dress.

We all stood by the door as Sophie looked out the window. "There are a lot of customers today, Nadia."

I laughed. "Well, let's make sure we don't disappoint. Ready everyone?" They all nodded as I opened the doors to the cafe, welcoming in all of our customers.

The first people to come in were Sebastian and Ciel. I smiled at them as I said, "Hello again, Ciel and Sebastian. Would you like your usual table?"

Ciel nodded, keeping his head his like he always did. "Yes, that will do nicely."

I took them to their table as Sebastian sat his master down. "Master, would you like to me to take your belongings?"

Ciel simply nodded as Sebastian took his coat, hat, gloves and walking stick and put them into the coat room near the door. Sebastian sat down opposite to Ciel as I handed them their menus.

"Here are your menus...We do have a special today. It's the duck with potatoes and cabbage. Would you like to order some drinks?"

Ciel nodded. "Just the usual tea for us, please."

I wrote it down on my notebook and bowed respectfully. "I shall get that for you now."

I walked into the kitchen and started making the tea. One of the chefs, named Thomas, walked over to me and smiled.

"Hey Nadia, how are you today?"

I smiled and replied, "I'm fine thank you, Thomas and yourself?"

He blushed a little "Uh-yeah...I'm good thanks..."

Thomas was your typical ten year old sci-fi nerd. He wore big, think glasses with unfashionable clothes and always snorted when he laughed, which was very cute.

I poked him playfully. "You need to get back to work young man, we have a lot of customers out there today."

He saluted with a, "Yes ma'am!" and went back to work.

I finished the tea and went to serve it to Ciel and Sebastian. "Here is your tea, I hope it is up to your standards."

Ciel grinned. "Your food and tea are the best in the country, they will most defiantly meet my standards."

I bowed. "Thank you, your most kind."

I smiled at Sebastian as well, "Do you need more time to order?"

Sebastian nodded "If it's no trouble, of course."

"No trouble at all for our regular guests, please take as long as needed." I walked away and looked around to see who the girls were serving.

Becca was serving the new Ninja Turtles and Mikey was flirting with her, she couldn't help but blush. I walked over and smiled. "Everything ok here?"

Mikey looked at me and asked Becca, "Who is this lovely dudette?"

Becca giggled "This is my manager Nadia."

Leo looked shocked "You're a manager?!"

I nodded. "Yep, and a waitress."

Don nodded, impressed. "You have achievements that are beyond your age."

Raph leaned back in his chair and grinned. "Well, I think it's cool."

A light blush played on my cheeks as I bowed. "Well please enjoy your food." I went to the door and saw someone I did not want to see...

"Hello Nadia."

"Hello Donte..."

Donte owned a similar shop down the street, except this place was dirty and no one liked going there because the food made them sick.

I looked at him and asked "What do you want now?"

He leaned in closer to me and said, "Simple, I want to run your restaurant...and take it over."

I growled back, "For the last time you're not getting my place, you have one...it's not my fault it went down the drain."

Before he could retaliate Becca came up behind me and asked, "Is everything alright here, Nadia?"

I nodded. "Nothing I can't handle."

I looked back at Donte and pointed to the door "You need to leave before I call the police again." He glared at me before slamming the door behind him. I rubbed my temples to calm down and went back to work, and everyone asked if I was ok...I have such lovely customers.

When the day ended we closed the store and headed back home. I know it's only been a few months since we've opened...but I have a feeling that this is only the beginning.

A/N: New story! I was just thinking to myself and I came up with this idea...I hope you like this and don't worry the next chapter will be longer :)
