It was nearly noon. Major Monogram parked the agency car (his was still getting repaired after the missile incident with Doofenshmirtz) and both he and Carl got out. As they walked closer to the small restaurant, they heard that familiar jingle.
'Pickles so green and meat so brown!'
"Lunchtime's fun with Slushy the Clown!" Monogram and Carl finished. The intern smiled. He always did enjoy coming to the Slushy Burger with the Major for lunch. It was a little more expensive than just eating at the OWCA cafeteria, but he got to spend time with the major and feel like a friend or colleague rather than just an intern.
"The usual, Carl?" "Yes Sir." A cheeseburger with onion rings, his favorite. Carl quickly grabbed a table while Monogram got in line. After a few minutes, he returned with a tray full of food and two cups of soda. Carl had already grabbed some napkins and two straws. Monogram grabbed the burger wrapped in blue paper and the cardboard container of fries while Carl took his own food.
But before he could start eating, the intern noticed the disappointed look on the major's face. "What's wrong, Sir?"
"They got my order wrong," Monogram replied, holding up the sandwich. The major usually got a hamburger with tomato and lettuce, but instead he had gotten a cheeseburger with onions and mustard.
Carl looked up and saw that the line wasn't too short, just a couple people. "I'll get you a new one, Sir," Carl offered. Thankful, Monogram handed Carl the sandwich, and he took his place in line. It only took a minute or two to reach the front. Carl then explained what happened, and the girl at the cash register happily took the burger back. Unfortunately, it couldn't all be easy.
"I'm sorry but we're out of burgers," the girl said, "But we're thawing some right now. Your burger should be ready in about six minutes. Is that okay?" Carl was a little disappointed, his food would be cold by the time he returned to their table. But, he kept the smile on his face and waited patiently.
Finally, the cashier gave him the new burger. Carl thanked her, and quickly went back to the table. "Here you go Sir-" Carl then noticed that the major already had a burger in his hands.
"Maybe I should have done this before," Monogram started to say, feeling a little embarrassed, "But it turns out that despite being wrapped differently, our burgers got switched." His voice got a little lower. "So, I got your sandwich and you, uh, got mine."
Which was now already thrown away. But, Carl just sat down. "Well, I like burgers too, Sir," he said before taking a bite. Monogram did the same, and they both finished lunch with slushies and another round of the Slushy the Clown song.
Carl's the kind of guy who wouldn't someone feel stupid about a mistake like that, he'd just shrug it off and make the best of it. You'd have to be that kind of guy to work for Monobrow, lol. Anyway, hope you like, and please review! I've got a lot of ideas, and hopefully I'll have a new chapter up soon. Until next time!
