Chapter 3: Out of Cake
York drove the class, even Ratburn, to the A&G dinner where they are going to eat. A&G is the only restaurant in the town of Greenvale, so it's always full of people there who wants to eat. The auroma of fresh coffee and grease filled the air in the restaurant, but it's too bad it's a non smoking. York really wanted to smoke so that's bad for him, but good for the kids. "Allright kiddies, you can have anything you want, but don't take too long" York said, putting out of his cigarette. The kids enter and everyone in the restaurant looked at the freakish hored of the animal kids. Most of them left with an overpriced payment, by they wanted to get out because they didn't want to see anything like this in their restaurant. The only people remaining inside are Nick and Olivia who work there, Forest Kasen who is eating because he's a fat, and a few customers who don't mind. Lily came up to York. "Hello York" Said Lily "What a strange little bunch here! Who are they?" Ratburn bumped into the conversation "Excuse but you don't so happen to have any cake?" "Oh, I'm sorry. We just ran out of cake." Ratburn was upset at the moment. "Okay. I'll order soon." York shock his head again. "Sorry Olivia, these are friends of mine. This is Nigel Ratburn. This group here is his class. They were gonna go to a field trip to SUPER FUN WORLD, but they had an accident. We're just here to have some food." Olivia sighed in joy "Good, I thought you were gonna question me more about Anna. I don't really want to think about it some more. Just take it easy. I'll be there in a second."
The gang picked out a seat. The choose a place at the corner with the booths. Arthur and Buster sat at the same seat, with Franice and Brain. "This is such a weird place" Said Arthur "Why were all of those people running out of here? They didn't even finish their desserts." Buster put down the menu he was looking at "Maybe it was because there were ALIENS around here!" Just then Harry with Micheal showed up through the opening door. Buster took a glance at the person entering with his eyes wide open. He screamed. "AAAHHH! ALIEN!" He hid his head under the menu shaking in fear. "Poor Buster. That's not an Alien, that's just Harry. He's just here to pick up his Sinner's Sandwich." York explained. "A Sinner's Sandwich?" Muffy questioned "Sounds like a boring sandwich." Micheal walked up to the furry bunch. "Excuse me, miss furry. I beg to differ that the sandwich is really yummy." So says Mr. Stewart. "He's right" York replied. "The Sinner's Sandwich is a great combination of strawberry jam, turkey, and cereal. It's the best thing I have ever tasted." Binky had an icky face. "A turkey, strawberry jam and cereal sandwhich? That sounds more gross than having a pizza with peanutbutter and grapes." Binky stated. "Also, Mr. Ratburn, where's my gameboy?" "Oh, uh, I don't know Binky. I must have left it at school." Ratburn said, after putting his head up when he was down. George had an annoyed face on him "You said you were give me my Rokeman Teal game back Binky." "Sorry George! I promise, when we get back, I will give it back to you.
After ordering the food, Olivia served it. Arthur had the Macaroni and Cheese special, Buster had the same, as well as the other kids. Ratburn was to despressed to eat since there was no cake. "What's wrong, Ratburn? Why aren't you eating anything?" Raburn singed "It's just that I can't anything that isn't cake. It's the only food I can ever eat. Since I have Chromium Picolinate, I can't stop eating cake. I HAVE TO HAVE CAKE! I JUST HAV" Just as Ratburn looks across the restaurant from his panic attack, he sees a shiny piece of double white fudge cake. And it's about to be eating by...FOREST KAYSEN!
Ratburn quickly got a fork and jumped over the table. He ran up to the table where Forest is eating and then suddenly, he grabs the cake and shoves it down his own throat. Chewing on the delicous taste of the pastry. Forest was anger. "HEY!" Forest yelled with angry. "That was my cake!" He then notices the figure, the rat in the suit knawing on the big piece of cake, drowning himself with a glass of milk. He then swallowed and said. "I'm so very sorry about that, sir. But I can't help it. I have Chromium Picolinate. I need to have cake!" Forest then was realived. "Oh okay. I understand. My mother also had Chromium Picolinate. It's a very serious issue going on in America, but the health care is just so low that they won't do anything about it. I can understand you're pain." Forest said after leaving the money on the table. "The name's Forest Kaysen. I'm a salesman. I travel around selling tree seeds. Would you like one?" Ratburn shock his head. "No thanks, I'm fine. Thanks anyway." Willie started to bark. "Whoa Willie, we're weak." Forest said. "Sorry, but we gotta go. Catch you later, Nigel." Forest lefNo it's okay.
Ratburn returned to his table with York, while all of the kids are eating. "That was something you did there, Nigel." York said. "For a second I thought you were gonna stab him with that fork. Then that would be another case I'll have to do." He said again, taking a bite out his Sinner's Sandwich, moaning in great extasy. "Ratburn, you should really try this. It'll probably take your mind off of the cakes for a while. Or find a great alternative for your Chromium Picolinate." "Okay" Ratburn replied, trying to get a piece of the sandwich, but then York slapped his hand off of it. "NA MAN, GET YOUR OWN DAMN SANDWHICH!" York said. Olivia came up the table and said "Is there anything else that I can get for you, York?" She said. "Yes, actually. One more Sinner's Sandwhich for my friend here, Nigel. Don't worry, it's all on the FBI's funds." Olivia returned a little later to give Ratburn the sandwich. The kids looked in disguest at the sandwhich. "I think it just moved" Francie said. "I think it called me 'Stupid Head'" DW followed. "Only an ALIEN can ever enjoy that sandwhich" Lastly followed by Buster. Raburn took a bite out of the sandwich. "It's...IT'S...IT'S...SOOOOO GOOOD!" Ratburn said. The kids were very surprised. "It's so tasty that..I want to have this for the rest of my life!" Ratburn then ate the entire sandwhich under a minute. Even York was surprised since he beat his record of a minute and ten seconds. "Looks like we have a new fan, Zach." York said. "But looks like this fan does have some bite to us. Well it's always nice to see someone enjoy the greatest sandwhich in the world." York finally said as he took a bite out of his sandwhich.
After eating, York drove to the Great Deer Hotel where they will be staying most of the time. Polly wasn't very surprised by the bunch since she is a really old lady. Ratburn stayed at his own room while everyone had their own of two. "Now if anyone needs me I will be in my own room" Said York to the group of kids, standing right infront of his room's door. "But for most of the time I will be away so call me on my phone if you need me and it must be important. I also recommend you to stay here, even at night time, because a lot of strange things happen in this town. Now I must leave." York then leaves to go outside to his car. "You heard him kids. It might seems boring here, but I'm sure you can find something to do here." Said Ratburn. "Just come on by my room if you need me. Just please stay inside if you can." Ratburn then left to his room. Polly came up to the kids and said "If you need me, I'll be at my desk. I'll be happy to give you change for soda and food if you want." Arhtur looked around the lobby. "Hey where's DW?"
