Hey guys! Wow, I haven't written anything in almost a year now, so my apologies to those who wanted to see the end of my Paris story. I promise that I'll try to finish that as soon as possible. Anyway, enjoy! (I don't own All Grown Up, or anything related to that)
"OK people, one at a time here! There's plenty of double espressos to go around!"
Chuckie Finster was standing behind the cash register serving the last jug of double espresso that they had left. It was a Tuesday, so that meant that it was half price off of all espressos. The tall redhead was having a tough time trying to serve them all at once, seeing as how the only other person working there was Kimi.
Finally, after what seemed to be endless amounts of people coming into the Java Lava, it was time to close up early. "Ok, everyone. See you later!" Chuckie half-heartedly said. As soon as the last customer left, he was nearly about to fall over. "AHHHHHHHH! Why the heck did Dad have half-priced Tuesdays? I can't take it anymore!" he complained.
Kimi chuckled and said, "Well, that's what you get for not doing your chores for a week, and I was the one making the drinks anyway!"
Chuckie glared at her and said, "Well, next time YOU do the cash register! Let's see how you like it when the customers almost tear your arms off from the caffeine in their espressos!" He then sighed heavily, slumped down into a chair and closed his eyes for a while.
As Kimi was cleaning off the tables, she asked, "Where did Tommy, Phil, Lil and everyone go off to today?"
"I'm pretty sure they were going skating today... Geez! It's almost like we're in here every single day!"
Kimi nodded, but then said to her brother, "Yeah, but we've got work experience now. We're one step ahead of the others, remember?"
They then both started to close up the shop. As Chuckie locked the door behind him, a light snow began to fall down. "Let's get going. I don't really feel like catching a cold today." Chuckie remarked.
Kimi brushed the snow off of her jeans and went into the kitchen to make something to eat for the 2 of them. "Hey, how does Mac & Cheese sound, Chucko?"
"Yeah, that's good, thanks." Chuckie replied. He then proceeded to set the table and wait for Kimi to finish up.
With plates full of delicious macaroni, and nothing on TV to take their minds off, Kimi decided to ask Chuckie a very random (and somewhat strange) question.
"Chuckie, what do think would happen if our parents didn't meet each other until we were older? Would we even be a family, do you think?"
Chuckie scratched the back of his head and replied, "Well, that was kind of random, don't you think?"
