Cafe' Shirayuki ! - Apply?

------------------------------------------

It was a quite a busy Friday night in Tokyo. The air was somewhat chilly since winter approached. All the workers and people wore scarves and warm jackets.

Out of all these people, one was on his way to a job at Tokyo's famous cafe', Cafe' Shirayuki.

Inside the cafe'...

"Good evening! Welcome to Cafe' Shirayuki !!!!" a cheerful Chinese girl was greeting the customers that arrived. So many customers, mostly school students, were lining up at the door. Waiters and waitresses were running here and there to take orders for deserts and drinks.

Finally, after waiting for such a long time, a blonde haired boy was able to enter. The same Chinese girl greeted him warmly and ran into the kitchen. Ky took a seat by the window next to the entrance. Looking around, he found the place attractive because of it's lively colors and sufficient lighting. He removed his light blue hat and the matching scraf and placed it next to his side. Staring at a interesting designs, Ky forgot why he was there in that particular place. Then after seeing a young girl in a light orange waitress uniform, Ky remembered what he was supposed to do and approached the counter. A very beautiful waitress was at the desk, checking a few of the missed calls. The boy was almost too embarrassed to even breathe. Ky walked up to her slowly. The girl was wearing a light pink dress with a shade of magenta on the border of the skirts. The skirt was only a few inches away from the waist, and a white underskirt was visible. She also had an apron around her waist, tied with a large white ribbon. Rabbit ears were attatched to her blue hair and her bright pinkish eyes showed joy and excitement.

"Excuse me...Can I apply as a waiter?" Ky asked the waitress nervously.

"Um...You'll have to speak to Jam, our manager," the girl said calmingly. "Follow me...We'll get you an application first." Ky followed the waitress hoping to apply soon. She lead him into the kitchen where other waiters and waitresses were bustling here and there again. Steam shot out from the metal pots, and only shoutings and whistlings could be heard. Ky certainly hoped he wouldn't be a chef. Suddenly, the girl in the orange uniform came up to them. Her eyes were glittering like never before, and she had a tinge of red on her cheeks.

"Dizzy! Who's that?" the little girl was addressing the pink waitress.

"Oh, he wants to work here. What your name?" Dizzy turned to Ky and waited for his answer.

"It's Ky Kiske," he was rather shy at this moment.

"Ky...How old are you?" asked May, the orange waitress. "I'm 13 years old and I just worked here a month ago."

"My age? I was born on November 20, and I'm 16 years old," Ky replied.

"16 !?!?!" May was in shock. But why?

"What's wrong May?" Dizzy had a surprised look no different from Ky's expression.

"Aww... He's too young. I wanted him to be like 25 or 30. What a waste!!!! He's such a cutie!!!" with these words May left continuing her work.

"??? A 'cutie'? What's that?" Ky was really confused by May's words.

"Hm...I think she means that you're good-looking," Dizzy said walking forward.

"Good-looking? Uh..thanks I guess..." Ky blushed after getting a comment like that. Soon the two reached a crimson door. It was wooden with a Chinese character painted in black. Dizzy knocked once, and a familiar voice told them to enter.

"Excuse me, Jam-sama. This boy, Ky Kiske, wants to work here. Is it possible for one more waiter?" Dizzy asked the brunette lady with a looped pony-tail.

"Hm...Le'me take a look at him first," Jam stood up and circled Ky. Because of this, Ky's face became redder than a bowl of fresh cherries. Dizzy waited patiently next to Ky.

"Hm...No kidding he's soo cute! I didn't know such boys existed, but... he's missing something..." Jam placed her finger between her teeth.

"Please! Let me work here!" Ky was about to fall on his knees and beg.

"Okay, boy...Just read these until Saturday..." Jam handed Ky two purple books with the words "Cafe' How To's".

"Thank you!" Ky's smile made Dizzy smile and blush a little.

"I've never seen such a smile..." Dizzy was lost in her thoughts. Ky's blue eyes shone brightly with great joy. A tint of pink was on his pale cheeks.

"But first is first, we'll need you to fill out a application form..." Jam handed him a single paper. "Fill it in and come back here. Got it,boy?"

"I will!" Ky rushed out to his seat to fill in the form. Luckily he had a pen in his black coat.

"Name...Date of Birth...School...Phone Number...this is taking a while..." Ky thought as his black pen left out ink everywhere he wrote. The young boy was too busy that he didn't notice someone next to him.

"You're applying?" said a rough voice. Ky looked up and saw a tall blonde man with sunglasses. He had a dark orang vest with a light orange ribbon. All the workers had bunny ear headbands.

"Who me? Yes, I -" Ky was cut off when the tall man looked really close at him. Again Ky blushed.

"Hm...I'm sure we'll get a LOT of female customers because of you. Anyways, I'm Johnny," he introduced.

"Oh, e-hem...I'm Ky Kiske. I just came here from Paris yesterday," replied Ky.

"That's really far...oh, hold on..." Johnny left when May called him into the kitchen. Ky got back to signing again.

45 minutes later...

"Finally! Ms. Jam!!! I'm done!!" yelled Ky as he entered the kitchen. As soon as he got to Jam's office, she grabbed the paper from his hand and read it.

"Your bloodtype is AB? And you're 16! Plus you're French...hm..." Jam looked at Ky with a puzzled look.

"What's wrong?" Ky asked a little bit startled.

"You start work on Monday. You do have winter vacation?" Jam asked quite nonchalantly.

"Yes, ma'am. That's why I came here. I might go to Tokyo U though..." Ky replied. "Thanks Ms. Jam!"

"Hey, boy!" Ky turned around to Jam who was getting used to calling him that. "Don't call me ma'am or Ms. It makes me sound old. Just call me Jam."

"Yes...Jam..." Ky thought it quite weird to call her by her real name.

Back at the hotel...

It was eight o' clock PM and Ky was reading the manual while sipping some tea. One of his pet dogs were also interested in what he was doing and hopped unto his lap. Ky didn't mind at all. Fortunately, Ky had three dogs with him: Bichon Frise, yellow Labrador, and a Miniature Poodle. All three canines behaved well and never mingled with Ky's belongings. Suddenly, the poodle began whimpering and pulling on Ky's sleeve.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" Ky asked closing the book. The poodle only ran to the bed and seemed to be pointing to it with it's head while the Labrador began tugging on Ky's arm.

"Do you want me to sleep? Okay..." Ky turned the lamp off and hopped into bed.

"It is kind of late...Good night!" Ky closed his eyes and he felt his pets snuggling together on the bed. The Bichon Frise laid down on Ky's chest and could've licked his face. But fearing it might wake his master up, the dog fell asleep.
