Today is the big day. This day is better than any other Fridays or Holidays. Well, to the mind of the coyote it was. He was able to finally land himself a job. After weeks of interviews he was finally able to get a job at a restaurant. Money is needed so he could pay for his apartment. He was very lucky to get this job. He drove down to the place with the sun shining out on the warm Summer afternoon.

Now, despite the fact he got himself a job, he did have minor confusions. Mainly with two odd choices of what he does and what he must wear for this place. He was a server, which granted doesn't seem peculiar, but it was his outfit that got him feeling flushed from the thought of wearing this type of clothing.

The restaurant he got hired for was Hooters. Now nothing was wrong with that, but it was the fact he had to wear a Hooters outfit since he was a server at that place. A white tank top and orange short shorts. What kind of dude would wear those?!

He felt both nervous and rightfully embarrassed by his outfit. While he understood he had to wear a uniform, this uniform was different. Not only did he feel somewhat exposed, he also felt the uniform was a bit tight. Not only around the legs, but his tank top was also the same familiar feeling. He could almost feel like he was choking even though there was no collar on his tank top.

His mind was obviously messing with him, feeling like he was choking from the outfit. He knew it was just him feeling nervous. So, he tried to calm himself down by slowing his breathing. It's his first day, so he had every reason to have those rookie jitters. Besides, the outfit will stretch out for him to feel comfortable in.

He finally saw his workplace and began to turn into the parking lot. He noticed that a lot of cars were in the parkings spots. Seems like a full house. Heck, he remembered when he came here for the interview it was packed. This place must be that dang good...or the servers helped this place get four to five star ratings.

He parked his vehicle into the employees open parking and shut off the engine. He grips the steering wheel as he takes a couple of breaths. This is it. The first day. He was giving himself positive pep talks in his mind. Slowly, his lips were able to crack a smile. He can do it. He knew he could do this.

He gets out of the car with his outfit and fur being exposed to the sunlight. Evan still kept his smile. He was ready to conquer this day. Even if the outfit itself seemed a bit risque on him. He couldn't let that bother him, he had a job to do. And that job is being a server at Hooters.

He locks his car and begins to march with pride to the door of his new workplace. He approaches the door within a couple of seconds and slowly reaches out to the door handle. He pushed it open and, with his very own eyes, the sight was overwhelming.

Customers filled every table while the servers were going as fast as they could to each table. His eyes widened at his surroundings. Kids throwing food, noisey college frat boys, baby's crying, it was complete utter chaos. Although it seemed typical and common in most restaurants.

The one detail in his line of vision was one that would be stuck on his mind for quite some time during this day. He thought he would be the only male server in this line of work. He was wrong. There were many males in Hooters Girl outfits that were serving up the beers, wings, and foods to the customers. Evan could feel himself somewhat relieved he wasn't the only one. Yet he did seem dumbfounded by it all.

"Finally you made it!" The sound of a satisfied cheetah male alerted the coyote as he looked over to his shoulder to witness before him the manager and the one who gave him the job. Hammy. With his classy looking suit and red tie on him.

"O-oh hey! I'm super sorry I was late! Traffic was blocked up." Evan said honestly as Hammy patted his shoulder.

"Tell me about it! There is traffic out there and now there is traffic in here!" The cheetah looked as if he ran back and forth all over the place. "But I am glad you are here!"

Evan could feel the pressure starting to take effect. His first day, and he had a full packed one too. He could still keep a smile and a look of dedication as his brain was screaming. Begging. Even pleading for help.

Hammy looked around as he suddenly started to walk away. Evan could only hear the quick sentence forming with Hammy saying he would be right back. He could only watch as his manager was going over to one of the servers. Hammy was talking to what looked to be a silver fox. With his fur looking shiny and smooth, his tails tip and his arms, legs, and front and back paws were of a purple dye color. He seemed like a professional at this sort of job. Must be if the college frat boys were giving him some tips.

The manager started to bring over the server by his side. This silver fox was almost at the same height as Evan. The server silver fox gave off a welcoming smile with his walking pose having to be a strange mixture of sass and flirtatiousness that helped with his look, making him a beautiful tod that any vixen would be envious to be like.

"Evan, I want you to meet Shadow. He will be your supervisor." Hammy introduced the two with Shadow offering a paw.

"Nice to meet you. Glad you are part of the Hooters family!"

"Heh. Thank you." Evan still felt anxious about this job, and how this fox before him happened to be pretty much way better in outfit wear than the coyote himself. Nonetheless, he still accepted the paw shake as Hammy started to be excited over how things were going for the two.

"That's great! Have fun, have a good time, and remember to give a wink and a smile!" The cheetah went over to a desk where by the greeting desk was another mammal in a Hooters outfit. This time being of a tabby as he was playing with a straw between his fingers as if he was sweeping the desk. "Jake! I need some six menus for Tables 15 and 16."

The tabby quickly pulled out the menus and pretended as if he was doing his job with seriousness as he gave his manager the menus. "I wish I could help sir. Those tables are really crazy."

"Thank you Jake." Hammy starts to run off with the menus in arms. That was, until he stopped before he could go. "Actually, you could do it Jake. I can deal with any coming customers and tell them we are packed since they can be so rude."

"B-b-but it is so eas-I mean hard!" Jake whined.

"You got this, us felines are powerful!" Hammy gave the server the menus as he started to take place by the desk with Jake having to grumpily complain as he started to make his way to the other side of the building.

Evan seemed worried. Shadow could tell from the look of his face, ears, and even his tail acting all frightful. He patted the coyote's back to reassure him.

"Relax dude. You got this in the bag. I'll give you pointers. After we get through with some tables, you might get to meet the rest of the crew."

"Sounds fair. Heh." He adjusted his glasses with his bashful smile starting to form.

Shadow went over to Hammy and was able get a couple of menus off of him. Evan looked over with Shadow having to slightly bend down. There, the coyote could see the most stareable part of the silver fox that might just be the main reason he gets tips a plently. In his eyes was the silver fox's big, thick, and eye popping look of his nicely shaped re-reeaally nice tail.

Shadow got himself up and trotted over to the rookie. There he handed the menus as he got Evan to follow his lead. Evan was so determined to get this job since money was a big issue. He wanted to pass it with flying colors. He kept by Shadow's side as he took a look around over everyone at the tables.

He spoke without thinking. "Jeez. This place is always packed like this?"

"Mhm." Shadow cutted in. "We always got alot of customers here. Mainly dudes."

"I...I can see why?"

Evan and Shadow walked over with there being a couple of skater boys having to have a glass of beer in their paws. Talking and drinking. These guys would be Evan's first ever customers he would serve. Shadow told Evan he would be by his side, watching over and making sure he does the right things. It was simple, greet them with a smile, hand out the menus, and take their orders. Although Shadow gave one simple trick. Always give them a wink and a smile after the order was made. It makes them want to come back more.

Evan took the idea and nodded. His supervisor pulled a notepad and pen from behind his shorts. The yote seemed confused but his newly silver fox friend ushered him that you had to play smart since the shorts had no pockets. Better to put them in the back than to place them in one area and lose sight of them. Evan took a good mental check on that. With him taking the pen and notepad and doing a last breath of confidence and his heart pounding with courage coursing through his veins, he sauntered with ease to the table.

"Heeeyy there. Sorry for keeping you guys waiting." His voice was slightly shaky. Still, a thumbs up from Shadow was good enough to have him to keep going. "What would you guys like to have?"

"Ummm. Well the menus would be a good start." A skater gazelle spoke out with a finishing chuckle.

"Oh right! I'm so sorry!" Evan handed out the menus the four dudes before him. One of them, a mink, rubbed his chin.

"I swear that I don't think I have seen you before."

"O-oh! Well I am new here." Evan said with a soft smile and shyness looming in his voice.

"Dang...well you are just the most adorable rookie ever." A leopard said to him in a complimenting if not flirting way.

Evan just wanted to scream so loudly but thankfully his brain was having him do all of that on the inside. His cheeks were flushed red and he could feel steam emitting off his head from the leopard's way to try to get the coyote's phonenumber, but he still was marching on with stride. "Ssso uh-uh what kind of food you guys w-want?"

They started to list their orders. On the notepad with his trust pen he wrote down "16 Boneless Wings, 10 Smoked Wings, 10 Unreal Wings, and a Western BBQ Burger with all of their sides being Onion Rings" Evan was pretty quick when it came to taking orders. He was met again with Shadow giving a solid good job thumbs up.

"Is that it for you guys?"

"A refill of our beers please."

"Maybe also a cutie's phone number? Because I see one right in front of me" The mink letted out a sly smirk.

Now Evan was stuck in the biggest pickle ever. He had to do a wink and smile after getting a pickup line like that?! He didn't want to seem rude to a paying customer and didn't want to lose his job. He could feel sweat starting to form on his forehead. He prayed and looked for anything to lean away from the mammals flirting.

A loud splash and annoyed groans was heard as both Evan and the skater boys looked on to see what the commotion was. Close by were two Hooter servers, again both of them male, but with both of them seeming to have most of their shirts having wet marks on them. They also had big pitchers of beer in their paws. It seemed to be that they bumped into each other with the collision having to spill the alcohol on them and on the floor.

They bickered for a bit, a brown furred rabbit and an orange-ish red fox being the ones quarreling, with them now growling and looking into their eyes. An intimidating stance that quickly ended with Shadow coming towards them and splitting in between the two.

Evan took this as a sign of whatever Gods had praised him with this miracle. "I wiiilll be right back with the food and drinks." With a finishing wink and smile he started to move out of the way from the table. He felt like he dodged a whole meteorite over there. He looked to see that the rabbit and fox were being told by Shadow to go out and take a cool off and to change outfits when they get back inside. The two stared at each other still with them looking angry as Shadow was calling out for someone to clean up the mess. The two servers looked like they were ready to go at it. Yet, they passed by Evan without acknowledging him and headed to the door together. The fox opened the door for the rabbit as they walked out together, still showing hatred towards one another.

The silver fox came back to Evan who went back to having a smile on his face. "You did good Evan! I should also help you out when it comes to "flirty dudes" for next time."

Evan gave a thank you to his supervisor. He was proud to have completed a job well done. Even though that was only just one table he went to with many more being ready to be served or to pay the bill.

"Hey umm...are those two ok?"

"Oh Michael and Kino? They are fine. They just always bicker at each other."

"Why? Did something happen to them? I-If I am not being too nosey I mean!"

"Hehe. No no you're fine. Also it's because they just always try to one-up each other."

"I do hope they won't be like this all the time…" Evan felt worry for those two employees he never met in his life. He didn't want them to be so cruel to each other. Shadow lifted up his spirit by telling him they will get over it soon. Honestly, Evan could trust Shadow with that. He seemed like a chill dude.

Within a matter of seconds came Jake who seemed to have his paws full. One having to push the mop and mobile bucket and the other carrying a small rabbit Hooters server. Again being male. Evan kept thinking to himself why there were so many dudes in Hooter Girl outfits working here.

"Let me down Jake! I was on a roll!" The short bunny said. Within good line of sight, Evan could see this server was the only one wearing makeup around here. Having on lipstick and a look of a light blush. A bow on his fluffy soft looking hair. With a small cute mole having to be the cherry on top to perfect this bunny to look almost like a female. Despite his male voice being heard.

"Well Tee, you should focus less on hot girls and more on your job." Jake goes over to the spillage with him setting down the rabbit and pulling the mop out of the clean soapy water and starting to ring it.

"Uhh, it's actually Dee. I told you many times bro."

"I still prefer for you to do the job. I vouched for you dude. Just you gotta do more than be cute and act 'Dee-licious' for everyone."

"I get alotta tips though! Commooonnn buddy, I share with you!" Dee was handed the mop with that action being Jake's response.

"I know, but still do the job. Now Dee-al with this mess."

All Dee could do was shake his head in what seemed to be of shame. "Jake, I care about you, but that was cringe. I feel my organs failing because of that."

"...Just...just do the thing." Feeling defeated by his rabbit pal, he moved on to clear off some tables since they were ready to pay for the bills and head out of here.

Evan could only watch it happen. Heck, he pretty much watched everything about these servers. Knowing their names, but he only interacted with his manager Hammy and his supervisor Shadow in the matter of what seemed to be not even fifteen minutes. This place was crazier than he thought. Still, a check is a check, and cash was a big green deal. All he had to do was handle the customers, do a good job, and he can get his paycheck by the end of the week. For now, he had to be the best damn server he can be.

(Eight Hours Later)

This was a pretty exhausting job. From having to deal with cleaning the messes of others to having to mix up orders by accident to even dealing with flirty customers. Evan couldn't even believe this was what he had to go through all week. How in the heck could he ever survive in a place like this?! His cheeks were of rosiness from both his shyness and the embarrassment he endured. The coyote was pretty brave, you had to give him credit on that.

He sat on a chair with a glass of soda in his paw to drink up and feel proud about. Taking a swig since he was tired. He also felt happy that his shift was done. Soon he could rest up, get his breakfast and lunch, then repeat this pattern of being a red faced mess. Hooray. It was getting close to night. The moon and the stars creeping up with ease. He took another drink. Being ready to head out of here. He wanted to be out of these lewdly looking clothes and ready to be in normal pajamas.

"Hey Evan!" Shadow startled him as he almost dropped his drink. Quickly, the silver fox apologized for the scare. Evan took the apology as he got himself off the chair and stood in front of the silver fox. "You wanna come to the bar?"

The coyote scratched the back of his head. "Err...I'm not so sure. Plus I don't wanna drive around. Wanna save gas." He was met with the giggle of that silver fox. Jesus, even Shadow's small laughter were almost seductive in an intrancing way. Was he some sort of siren?!

"Sorry, I forgot to mention. We got a bar here." Evan seemed curious with what Shadow said. A bar? He never knew of a bar being here. "It has been around for a good solid couple of years."

"Oh, so it must be popular then?" Again, he never took the time to see a bar was being used. All the patrons wanted a big mug of beer. No cocktails, martini's, and no rum of the sort.

Shadow shook his head at Evan's question. "Wrong. The owner is just too stubborn to admit it is bad. But, me and the guys all go there, talk for some time, then head back home. We pay for our drinks of course, we ain't robbing this place."

Evan now was intrigued. Although his worries started to come back. What if he gets so drunk he oversleeps? What if he gets a hangover? What would happen if he drank a bad batch of alcohol? What if- "Ok guys. I am about ready to head out of here." The cheetah stopped his concentration. His eyes looking at the sharp suited mammal who twirled his car keys.

He looked over to Shadow and Evan. "You guys gonna do 'Bar Time'?" Evan thought about it. He seemed to be leaning towards the option to head back to his car.

"Common Evan, it'll be fun! Plus you can bond with the other servers." Shadow made a very good point. Now seemed like the best time to know his fellow employees. Understand who he could be friends with or who he could avoid in case they were trouble. It was either he got early rest but risked not having to make a good impression in front of his employees, or he hung out with them but risked being too drunk and tired for work. Both were pros and cons.

"I'll stay and um, have a soda with them." He could feel Shadow smiling at him with joy. With the wind from the silver fox's tail swishing side by side.

"Alrighty." He reached into his pocket to pull out a set of keys for the restaurant. "Shadow, you can lock it up." He tosses them to Shadow who catches it in one paw. "Have a good night you guys."

They say their goodnights to the cheetah as he went out and flipped the sign by the door to say it was closed. He headed out with a few whistles escaping his lips. Shadow looked over at Evan, who just smiled sheepishly.

"Common. I'll take ya to the crew." A smile on the silver fox's face made Evan pretty much take a breather and feel ready to meet his emplo- no, they would be his new buddies that can help him in need! At least, he hoped it would happen. He nodded and with that said and done, they started to walk down. Passing by the greeting desk and into the small hall, they turn to the right and lo and behold was the small bar with many of different drinks.

"How could I have missed that?!" Evan said with disbelief that he was so busy working he never paid attention to it. There was no bartender there, but the whole crew was there.

Jake and Dee talking to each other while having a drink of beer while cracking jokes. Kino was watching some videos on his phone while taking a shot. The phone has to be playing some sort of Japanese cartoon on it. As for Michael, he took a glass cup with having to fill it with raspberry vodka. The strange part was that the fox and rabbit were close to each other. Not seeming to care about them being close to each other. It's as if they just suddenly became friends. Work was so stressful and so time consuming for the coyote, he felt like a whole century had passed.

"Hey guys!" Shadow got everyone's attention. "I want to introduce you to the new rookie. Evan!"

Evan was meeting with greetings from everyone. All having to pay attention to him as he greeted them back with a soft smile.

"Sorry we never introduce ourselves. Work was just a hassle today." Michael said, offering a pawshake. "I'm Michael."

Evan shook his paw back. "I'm Evan. I know all of you. Not in a weird way! I mean I saw you guys doing stuff and heard your names and all that and-"

"Relax dude. You seem tense." Jake offered him a seat next to Dee with Evan and Shadow sitting down on the stools. "You want something?"

Evan politely declined an offer of an alcoholic drink. "I'll stick with soda."

"Smart dude." Dee told the coyote who felt pretty glad to know the server found him as smart. "We don't drink a lot. Don't worry."

"Oh I believe you guys." Evan took a drink of his soda. The cold sugary drink having to be his way of feeling some energy. His finger tapped on the wooden stand. His mind pondering on what he could talk about? He doesn't know much about them and they just seemed to be doing nothing to show much of their characteristics. He could say something offensive and make a bad name for himself right off the spot.

"Michael. Kino. I want you to be honest with me." Shadow looked at the brown rabbit and the orange fox as they looked at him. Kino having to pause his video. "You guys good now? No more arguing?"

They nod. "Yeah yeah. Don't worry about us. We just want to be third place."

Third place? Now that got Evan interested to spark up a conversation. "What's that about a third place?"

Shadow turned towards the coyote. "OH! Well, again I forgot to mention this, but we all are having a little fun contest. The goal is to get the most tips. The first place winner gets a free meal outta my tab, the second place winner gets one free menu item out of my tab, and the third place winner gets a free drink out of-"

"Your tab. I am understanding it now." Evan said as he sipped his cola. "Sooo who is in the lead so far?"

"Meeee~" Dee said, having a drink of his bottle. Evan could clearly tell this small rabbit was the one with most tips. Mainly because of pure dedication to look as good as possible.

"I'm the second place winner here." Shadow said with prideful confidence. "Michael and Kino are tied for third. They got til the end of the week to get that drink."

"I better get a damn win. I want a free drink of cola outta this." Michael said as he took a shot of his drink.

"Pfft. Ok then." Kino said as he continued to watch his anime in peace.

Evan just looked at the two. They both seem cool, but he couldn't pick one or the other. He had to be on both of their good sides. "You know, I do hope you both win. May the best winner win."

They look over at the rookie. All they could do is nod and thank him for the boost in confidence as they continue to do their thing. Shadow looks over at the coyote and smiles. "It's pretty much all for us to work hard and something to boost morale ya know?"

Evan could understand the whole fun little contest idea. So he nodded his head and took a sip of his drink. He seemed to be almost empty. He started to tap his finger on the wood again. What else is there to talk about? What could he do to bond with the others? A part of him had wished he had left since the lack of talking was killing him. How could he continue? He took a last couple of finger taps for him to build up some sort of courage in him to come out.

"Sooo. How are...things?" The coyote felt dumb at his own words. He couldn't have said something else or at least tried to make it sound cool?

"Oh we are doing good. Tee here pretty much is getting something big." The smile on the dwarf rabbits face must mean it is a really good thing he's getting.

Evan was curious about it now. "What are you getting?"

"Ah ah aaahh. It's a surprise I will show when I get my free meal."

"If I ever get the most tips, I'd buy an outfit from one of my favorite anime shows." Kino had his eyes glued to the screen of his phone.

"Ew. Weeb." Michael interjected. "I'd get some passes for a gamer convention."

"Neeerrrddd." Kino taunted the bunny with a smirk on his face.

Shadow took a drink from a cup. Watching as the rookie he met before seemed a little less tense and seemed to have an enjoyment out of working here than how he was this afternoon. He poked the coyote's arm. "So, how is being a server at Hooters feel?"

Evan was pretty much just dumbfounded by this job. A skimpy looking outfit? Giving customers a wink and smile? Having to be looking like some fluffy bombshell? He didn't think for a second that this would be what he was getting himself into.

"So...weird really."

"Relax Evan." Tee patted the new servers back and smiled at him. "You'll grow to like this job."

"J-just how do you guys deal with this...well, this whole thing."

"I'm bi." Both Michael and Kino had said in sync.

"Same." Shadow said. "Plus I can handle flirty dudes."

"I usually do the greetings." Jake said with a paw raised up.

"I deal with the ladies since I am adorable!" Evan pretty much knew Tee would say that, given the first time he had seen him earlier the afternoon with lipstick kiss marks on his cheeks.

Evan could see they handle it well. "Don't worry." Shadow placed a paw on Evan's shoulder with his lips curved into a grin. "You'll get used to this place. I just do hope you stay though, you seem pretty cool."

"Naahh I'm not cool." Evan took a last drink before the bottle was completely empty.

"Oh you are buddy. Just gotta keep a chin up high." The fox said as he put his phone behind in his shorts after turning it off.

The rabbit started to look over at the coyote. "Yeah. We can help give you steps in the morning if you want."

Evan pondered in his mind. In what seemed to be a matter of fifteen minutes, he already was starting to become good friends with them. It was either a gift from God or pure luck that he was able to be a good worker in their eyes. No, a good mammal. He couldn't refuse now. He could look and see the smiles on everyone's face. Despite the lewd attire, the flirtatious customers, and having to be a blushing dorky mess, he knew for a fact that by the nature of these good mammals he was going to be in good paws.

He took this chance to try to make some friends here. "Yeah. Sure thing."

With a few cheers coming from the servers they started to take their cups and shot glasses and started to raise them up together. Preparing to do a clink. Evan took his empty bottle to join in with the clanking.

"To us Hooter Servers!" All but Evan shout aloud with him joining in saying the quote before his newfound friends take a drink as he just watches and places his glass down. He pretty much knew this day, though stressfully a struggle, would have given him a reward at the end. In which he did. That reward was some new friends that hopefully will always have his back in the following weeks or even months or maybe even years. Evan looked at his phone to see it would have the perfect time to leave, get some sleep, and be ready for it all. Though, it would mean he would leave the fun times early. A decision he made was as quick as a bullet. He put his phone behind his now comfortable pair of Hooter Girl server shorts and looked over to Shadow.

"Hand me another soda. I got some time to chill."
