The kingdom hearts café

There, outside their gummi ship/cafe, was Gordon Ramsey-Rainbowtrout, worlds-renowned restaurateur and food critic. He prepared his camerafish and swam toward their restaurant.

"Tell Storm!" Alysson ordered.

"But I have to greet him!" Bane argued.

"Don't argue with me, just tell him!"

"Don't argue about my arguing, just leave me be!"

"Umm, hello?" The duo turned and saw Gordon Rainbowtrout floating there, camerafish in tow.

"…Hello, good sir!" Bane greeted, pushing Alysson out of the way. "Would you like a table?"

"Yes, please," Gordon answered as the camerafish got some shots of the décor. Bane led him to a nice table in the center of the restaurant.

"Enjoy!" Bane said, swimming away backwards.

Alysson then swam up to his table. "Hello, sir," she greeted, taking out her pad and handing him a menu. "Would you like to try our special, today? It's-"

"Sebastian's seafood platter!" Bane interrupted enthusiastically, swimming in front of Alysson.

Alysson pushed him away. "Get back to your station!" she shouted after him. She cleared her throat and gave a nervous giggle. "Sorry about that," she apologized to Gordon.

Gordon cleared his throat as he looked over the menu. "Well, first of all, how good would you say the food is here, and what would you recommend?" he asked.

"Oh. Well, all the food is good, but I like the Goofy's cook-it-in-a-box, Baloo Stew with Mowgli Brie cheese, Sound of Music soup, Flapjack Skellington, Mickey Mousse… It's kind of hard to pick, actually," she admitted with a giggle.

Gordon nodded, folding the menu and handing it back to her. "I'll have that then," he said.

"…Which one?" Alysson asked, a little confused.

"All of them," he replied. "The one's you just listed, that is. And one of the specials, as well."

Alysson paused, then quietly wrote the order down and swam back to Storm. On the way back, she passed Bane. "Bane," she said. "Storm's gonna need some help in the kitchen."

"Oh yeah!" Bane shouted, grabbing the order ticket and swimming back to help Storm… more or less.

Alysson then swam back to the kitchen, and quietly took the finished orders as Storm and Bane prepared to fix Gordon's food.

She brought the orders to the table and went to check on the first party. "Are you ready for your dessert?" she asked the full merpeople.

One of the mermen shook his head. "Can't handle it," he said. "We'll take 'em to-go." The others agreed, so Alysson boxed their soufflé-des and brought them their check.

"…Huh," the other merman said upon seeing it. "It's not all that expensive either. I've got it covered, guys. My treat." He then gave Alysson some munny, said 'Keep the change,' and they left.

"First table – success," Alysson noted, putting the munny in the register and the tip in her personal tip jar. "Better check on the guys."

She swam back to the kitchen door, reached out for the handle, then heard an explosion. She opened the door and a crispy/blackened Bane came out. "Bane!" she exclaimed. "What happened!"

"…I shouldn't have touched the rice cooker…" Bane simply swam back to his station, muttering, "I shouldn't have touched the rice cooker."

…Alysson slowly swam in, seeing that there was a large black spot where an oven should have been. "Where's the oven!?" she shouted as she swam over. Storm said nothing, but pointed straight up. Alysson looked and saw an oven-shaped hole in the ceiling of the ship.

"…Was Gordon's food in there?" Alysson asked.

Storm turned, picked up a few plates, and handed some to her. "No," he replied. "Just a pie I was hoping to have on my break."

As Storm remorsed over the lost pie, they brought Gordon Rainbowtrout's food to his table. "Thank you," Gordon said as they laid the plates out. "Are you the chef?" he asked Storm. Storm nodded. "Then would you mind staying? I can see you aren't busy right now, and I have some questions about some of the dishes, if you don't mind."

"Not at all," Storm replied, floating nearby.

Gordon first examined the Baloo Stew with Mowgli Brie cheese as Alysson gave the other table their check. "Good texture," he commented as the camera watched him. "The cheese is soft, but not soupy." He then took a spoonful and swallowed it.

Storm and Alysson (and also Bane, who was eavesdropping from nearby), waited to hear what he had to say. "…Delicious," he said simply having some more of the soup. "Absolutely stunning."

Well, he went on, trying all the other dishes he had ordered and giving each the same stamp of approval as the last. And then he got to the special. "What's in this again?" he asked Storm.

"Small portions of rainbow trout, trout, and salmon," Storm replied.

"I thought it was flounder?" Alysson asked.

"It is," Storm replied. "But I saw a flounder out the window a second ago, so… you know…"

Gordon tried a bite of the platter, then the sides. He chewed a minute, swallowed, then turned to Storm and Alysson. "…Superb," he said with a smile as Storm nearly fell over out of relief. "You do some very nice work, Chef…"

"Storm," Storm replied, shaking Gordon's hand. "And thank you, Chef Rainbowtrout."

"May I speak with the owner, please?" he asked.

"That's me," Alysson replied, swimming forward.

Gordon was a little surprised by this. "Oh," he laughed, shaking her hand. "Lovely to meet you, then. You have a fine establishment."

Alysson curtsied. "Thank you, sir," she replied.

"Oh, before I go," he said as he gave Alysson the munny for his meal. "What was the host's name?"

"Bane," Alysson replied as Storm went back to the kitchen.

"Ah, yes," Gordon said as he prepared to go. "How skilled is he?"

"None to little," Alysson replied as Bane played with a Chinese finger trap behind her.

"Why does he work here, then?" Gordon asked as Bane got his fingers stuck in the trap.

"Well, he can…" Alysson trailed off. "He's able to… When we need help in the kitchen… He's very… He's Storm's friend," she admitted.

Gordon nodded. "I see," he said, swimming out. "Well, you'll want to keep that chef, then. Goodbye!"

Alysson waved. "Goodbye!" she shouted back as he swam away. She turned to see Bane with his nose and one finger stuck in the finger trap.

"…I can explain," Bane said quickly. "…Okay, I can't."

Well, once Alysson helped Bane and they served a couple more merpeople, they closed up for the day.

"I need a fishing hook," Bane rambled on. It seemed it had lasted hours. Halfway through, Alysson asked Storm a question. "Can you PLEASE shut him up!"

"Believe me I've tried," Storm said, swatting bubbles with his tail. "So, where are we going next?"

"We're going to Club Cool, of EPCOT – Walt Disney World," Alysson said.
