Chapter 11: Disasters and Dinners
/Inside at the school entrance\
"Sorry we're late." Sakura and Ying panted
"My locker wouldn't open." Sakura sighed
"No worries, you're just in time. Now we have to go pick up Jason and Colin." Alicia said as they walked out of the school and into the limo
/Outside of Briarwood School\
San: Pick Up Dammit!
San: Hello? Colin? R U There?
San: Uhg. Jason? U There?
Jason: Ya?
San: Wheres Colin?
Jason: Detent.
San: No wonder he aint pickin up
Jason: Ya Im waitin 4 him
San: So how long? We're waitin 4 u guyz
Jason: In 5+ min
San: Uhg. We'll be out here.
Jason: Got it
And with that San snapped her cell phone shut
"So?" They asked
"Colin got detent. They'll be out in five minutes." San said
"So what are we going to do tonight?" Sakura asked
"I think we should have a formal dinner. San-lee and I will cook. Alicia, Kristen and Dylan could set the dishes. And you two could decorate the hall." Madison suggested
"Maybe we should. Oh Ying, Sakura. I've been meaning to ask, do you want to move in with us?" San asked
"Yeah. We have a lot of spare rooms." Alicia tagged on
"No thanks. We like our little Shrine. Lots of space and perfect for our after grad party." Sakura declined
"Oh. Ok. Look! Here they come now! Colin! Jason!" San called
"Hey!" Colin and Jason called back.
The out of the corner of her eye, San saw some people with masks on with rocks. 'Our assaulters!'
"Colin! Jason! Look out!" San screamed as she jumped out of the limo and took the blows and knocked over Jason and Colin.
"San-lee!" they cried
"After them idiots!" San ordered
And with that, Jason and Kristen took off in top speed and tackled the assaulters and sat on two of them. Soon everyone caught up and sat on the rest. Sakura went around and unmasked the 8 girls.
"The Spanish Chicas." The all gasped
"I told you this wouldn't work!" Talia pouted
"Oh put a sock in it!" San spazzed as she hobbled over despite the blood coming from the side of her head and eye.
"San-lee, just get into the limo. We'll head back to Odlin Wood for treatment." Madison said as she held onto San from one side.
"And you know what, Madison, you can decorate the hall yourself and Ying and I will cook dinner for you guys." Sakura suggested once the got in
"Good idea." Madison agreed as they headed back leaving the Spanish Chicas on the ground
/Spanish Chicas\
"I told you guys this wouldn't work!" Talia yelled as she stood up and dusted off her black cargo pants
"Shut up already! Nina is going to be so mad at us for being unsuccessful!" Strawberry said as she also stood up and brushed off her black jacket
"Hey, don't get angry. At least we got San-lee." Pauline said trying to find the positive
"Yeah. Lets head back now." Trisha said
/Odlin Wood\
"Alright, Janice and the doctor is caring for San-lee, Mark, Aden, Colin and Jason are playing Gamecube, so that leaves us to make the dinner." Alicia said taking the lead
"So what are our jobs?" Massie asked
"Yeah, in case you have forgotten, we weren't at school today." Claire said
"No I haven't forgotten. Massie, Claire, Dylan and Madison are in charge of decorating. Ying and Sakura are cooking. Kristen and I are in charge of setting up." Alicia said
"So lets get started!" Massie cheered as she headed for the boxes of decorative flowers
/San's room\
"Are you sure you don't want to stay in the recovery room?" Janice asked
"Yes I'm sure. And I have career plans to perfect." San said as she headed to her desk
"Alright then Miss. I'll come back later when dinner is ready. Remember, Formal." Janice said as she slipped out of the room
"I need a list of supplies to buy…" San said as she began writing a list of items
"The name… I should discuss that with the others. Color and design has to be coordinated with the name…"
"The menu! How could I forget… maybe some sandwiches… tea, juice, hot chocolate, bubble tea perhaps…"
"Lots of things to do… well I better try to take a shower even with these bandages…" San sighed as she got up to pick out a black dress and headed to her built in bathroom.
/Dining Hall\
"There. Perfection!" Massie said as the décor group stood at the doorway to admire their work.
The Royal Red room with Royal Blue carpet was even more magnificent than before. Every vase had fresh roses of Yellow, Pink, White and Red. And there were 3 vases on the table, which held branches of Cherry Blossoms. The girls changed the beige tablecloth to a white tablecloth with lace trimmings. They dusted the stone fireplace that was also in the room and rearranged the photos. They had changed the red candles to white vanilla scented candles and they switched the plain wooden chairs to the fancy cushioned chairs.
"We'll we're done setting up." Alicia said clapping her hands
"And finally!" Kristen said as she leaned against the doorway.
The table was well laid out. The plates we're of white china and had blue and gold images of dragons on the rim. They had tied on ribbons to the handle of the wine glasses they are not drinking wine or anything like that; it's just to go with the image. The napkins were folded like origami in a shape of a crown. There we're also China bowls and smaller plates for other things. The fork, chopsticks, spoons, knives, soupspoons and desert spoons were also laid out.
"The room looks great!" Ying and Sakura complimented as they slid the sliding paper door aside and wiped their hands on their aprons
"So are you guys bringing in the food?" Massie asked
"No. Janice and Lydia are going to bring them in after everyone is seated." Ying answered back
"Which reminds me… we only have one hour till dinner! We have to get showered and changed!" Sakura said
"Dammit! We didn't bring any formal clothes!" Ying panicked, "And we don't have time to drive, shower and change!"
"Come with me. I think my mum sent some outfits that would be your size and you can use the guest rooms' showers." Madison said as she led them to her room
"Thanks Maddy, you're a life saver." Sakura thanked as they followed Madison
"We have to go get changed as well." Massie said stretching her arms out
"Yeah. I'll go tell the boys to get changed and stuff." Alicia said as they left room and closed the dining room. 'Wait in the foyer till everyone arrives' Alicia wrote and stuck the sign onto the paper sliding door
/Foyer\
"Well everyone is here but San-lee." Claire said as she counted up everyone
"Ehmahgawd! You look ah-mazing Alicia!" Massie complimented
"Me? Look at you!" Alicia said back
"Dylan, you look to-tally gorgeous in that dress!" Claire said
"Claire, you look awesome! Kristen, you too!" Dylan chimed in
"Ying, Sakura, I should hire you as models for my next line and the rest of you guys too!" Madison said as she came in with her video camera and a digital camera hanging off of her neck
"Madison! You look ah-mazing! Maybe we should video tape you!" Massie complimented
"San-lee is not here yet?" Madison asked
"Nope." They all replied
Ok, brief info on their outfits.
Massie: Baby blue tube dress that reaches jut above her knee. She is also wearing a navy blue mid drift jacket with lace trimmings. Blue strappy high heels
And her hair was in an elegant bun.
Claire: A white halter tube dress that reaches 2 inches below her knee and has 5inch slits on both sides. White add on sleeves that starts from just below her shoulder and splits apart at the elbow. White ankle lace up shoes and her hair was left down and she wears a white headband with jewel studs on.
Alicia: Bottle green long sleeved dress that reaches just below her knees. Forest green collar and forest green ankle lace up shoes. Her hair is tied in an elegant bun.
Ying: Wears the same outfit San wore at the yearend dance but light green. Her hair was left down.
Sakura: Same as Ying but Purple and she ties her hair up in a high pony tail
Kristen: Fitting white blouse with intricate flower embroidery. Black pants that are way too long. But because of her 1inch black high heels, they reach just about 2 centimeters from the ground. Her hair was done in a bun
Madison: Lavender dress that goes down to the knees and flows. Held together with a Purple Jewel studded Corset and Purple Lace Up Shoes the reaches to her knees. Hair was just a simple purple Headband
Dylan: A fitted black spaghetti strap dress that reaches her knees. A white sash tied into a knot in a small bow in the back and the rest of the sash was left hanging and hangs 1 inch below the hem of the dress. Black ankle lace up shoes. Hair was tied into an elegant bun.
"And finally she arrives." Mark joked
"Watev. It is hard to shower with bandages around my head like this." San said as she descended the stairs.
"You still look great though." Massie said looking over her outfit and approving
San was wearing a white tube dress that reaches her knees and has very pale blue lace trimmings. She also wears a white mid drift with pale colored studs of jewels that contrasted with the dress. Her hair was tied into a simple ponytail because of the bandages around the head. She wore white ankle lace up shoes.
"Well let's have dinner now." Alicia said as she led them into the dining room
And as soon as Alicia slid the doors apart, a great cloud of smoke engulfed them.
"-Cough- What Happened? –cough-" Massie asked
"I'm sorry but a fire started in the kitchen and there was a lot of smoke so it drifted into the dining hall. I'm sorry but you guys won't be having dinner here tonight." Janice answered as she came in from a different entrance.
"So what now?" Jason asked
"Yeah… weren't we going to talk about the café?" Massie said
"I'll quickly book us a table at Paris By Night restaurant." San said taking out of her cell and dialing the restaurant's number, "Hello this is San Lee. Do you have any tables free right now? I will pay the extra costs."
"We have one table available but how many people are coming?" the person on the other end asked
"Thirteen people." San answered back
"Perfect. Our private room on the observation deck has room for sixteen. This will all cost $1500." The person said
"I will pay upfront. Reserve the room under the name PACT." San said, "Thank you very much."
"We will see you then Miss Lee." The person said as she hung up
"Alright. Meet us in the limo. I need to go grab my Sporty Cinnamoroll Shoulder Pack. It has the café plans inside and I need to get my wallet as I am paying for everything tonight." San said as the girls ran upstairs to grab their purse and ect.
"Alright." The guys said as they walked out to the limo
/Paris By Night Restaurant\
"Hello. We have a reservation under the name PACT." San said as they came up to the receptionist.
"Oh! Right this way Miss Lee." The receptionist said leading them to their table upstairs.
"Please take off all shoes." The waitress at the paper doors to their table instructed
"Why?" Massie asked as they all sat down at the available chairs and started unlacing their shoes
"The private booths are Japanese Traditional. It's all carpeted and there are cushions to sit on." Madison explained
"So do we have to kneel the whole time?" Dylan asked mortified
"Of course not! There is a big table covering a gap in the center of the room but it's a little higher up so you can slip your legs underneath the table so you're seated on cushions." San answered
"Now I get it." Massie said as the paper doors slid aside and she saw the table and the little balcony. The table was very long so that fourteen people can sit on one side and two on the sides. The table was pressed against the wall of the low balcony so they can see the stage for the performances. There we're sliding curtains to block out the view if there was no show.
"Its pretty cozy in here." Claire commented as they all sat down.
"Here you go young sirs and young misses. Would you like some beverages to start off?" the waitress asked handing out the menus.
"What do you guys want?" San asked
"I'll just have some water." Massie ordered
"Same." Alicia, Claire, Dylan and Kristen said
"Alright." The waitress said writing it down
"Do you have Vanilla Coke?" Mark asked
"Yes we do. We have all sorts of drinks and many Asian cuisines." The waitress replied
"Then we'll have eight Vanilla Coke." San ordered
"Right away." The waitress said writing the last item and slipping out and sliding the doors together.
"Aden? Could you close the blinds? We'll just order, eat then we'll discuss the café business and such." Madison said as she began to scan the menu
Later the waitress came back with their drinks.
"May I take your orders?" she asked
"We'll have the fried rice with pork, and we'll all have some Vietnamese beef noodle soups as well." San ordered
"Boneless fried chicken and we'll have the sweet and sour soup too." Mark ordered
"Can you bring us an extra rice bucket so we can have some rice with the chicken?" Colin asked
"Will that be all?" she asked
"Five salad roll dishes please." Massie said as she looked up from the menu
"That will be all thank you." Sakura ended
The waitress bowed and left them.
/After eating\
"This place served awesome food!" Dylan commented as she leaned back and stretched her arms
"Massie, Claire, you won't believe who we ran into and is coming to OCD." Alicia squealed
"Who?" Massie and Claire asked in unison
"Celia Andrews." Kristen answered
"What!" Massie and Claire screamed, "Our enemy from Westbrook is here?"
"Yeah and Layne and her are on Nina's team." Dylan said, "That Celia has a major anger management problem."
"Yes, yes. Now we need to discuss the café business." San said as she pulled out her notebook. "Now, first off, we need to think of a name."
"I think café Tokyo would fit it well." Sakura and Ying said
"No, how about PACT Palace?" Jason suggested
"I think its ok." Madison said as she thought of it.
"Yeah. Its very unique, it symbolizes us and it could be our hang out." Alicia agreed
"So it is settled. All in favor say Aye." San said
"Aye!" the all yelled
"Now we need to go over the supplies." San said
