The Emperor's New Groove:
Falling in Love Isn't For an Emperor
Chapter 6: Mudka's Meat Hut...AGAIN!

Yep, you guess it. The restraunt happened to be Mudka's Meat Hut. The same lady waited on us at our tables, and said the same thing. "Welcome to Mudka's Meat Hut, home of Mug of Meat. What'll it be?"

"Hold on a sec, we're still deciding.." I said, and looked up at Raina to see she was looking at the menu with the same disgusted look as I was.

"Just call me when you're ready.." She said walking off.

Raina put down the menu. "Sheesh...last time I was here, they didn't have...."Ants Swimming in Gravy," "Live Roaches Swimming in Gravy," or "Roasted Llama Liver..." She shook her head in disgust. "Wonder what the special is.."

"I don't even wanna think about that...." I said.

The lady came back to our table. "Ok, have you decided yet?"

"Hey, uh....what's in your special?" I asked.

She eyed me and then raised an eyebrow, expression not changing. "Do you really want to know?"

"Uh...I guess..not...."

Raina had picked up the menu again. "I guess I'll order the...." She cringed. "...cow tenders.."

"Yeah...me too.." I said, not really knowing what else to order.

"Right...." She said, and walked off.

I sighed disgustedly and then got up.

"Um, Kuno, where are you going?"

"Just going off to have a word with the chef." That sounded familiar, cept Raina didn't say "You're gonna get us thrown out." as Pacha did. I walked in the back just as the woman brought the so called "cow tenders" to Raina's table. She sat a plate in front of Raina, and then a plate over on my side.

"Hey, where's your little guy friend?" She asked.

"Oh uh....he just went to the bathroom for a second."

She stood there a moment, sighed and then said, "I pity him."

"Wh...why?" Raina asked.

"Well, for some reason, all my customers that went into the bathroom, never came out the same...." She said walking off.

Raina cringed. "Eesh." She began eating just as three familiar people sat in the table behind them.

Zelma fought to keep Yzma's head below the table."What are you doing?" Yzma asked.

"Mother, there's no pets aloud in here! So we have to hide..."

"Welcome to Mudka's meat hut, home of the mug of meat, how may I take your order?" That woman came up to their table.

"Oh uh....hold on a second, still deciding...heh heh.." Zelma laughed, and picked up the menu, pretending like she was reading.

"Right..." Said the woman, walking off.

I wonder if Kuno's ok....Raina thought, trying to ignore the people behind her. She got up and went to find me.

"Fine!" I shouted at the chef while walking out. "If he has some bossy attitude with the emperor...then I just won't talk to him anymore. When I get back, I'll make sure he's fired..." I said to myself and sat back down at the table, seeing Raina had gone off. Then I noticed the people in the table behind us, or in front of me, however way you look at it. That was...ZELMA! "Oh shoot.." I quickly picked up the menu, to hide my face.

Yzma stuck her head above the table.

"What is it now, mother?" Zelma asked, feeling annoyed.

Yzma scowled. "I thought I saw him...someone who looked exactly like Kuzc..."

"Oh there you are.." They all looked on as Raina came back to the table. "I was looking for you, Kuno..." She said as she sat down. She didn't see that Zelma and Yzma were watching suspiciously. "I thought you had went to the kitchen to talk to the chef, so I went looking for you and...hey, why are you holding that menu over your face? Are you ordering again?"

"Um...uh...you know, Raina, I'm not that hungry anymore.." I quickly put down the menu and grabbed her hand. "Come on, let's go.."

"But...we haven't finished our meal yet...." She said, as I drug her out.

Yzma's eyes widened. "THAT'S HIM! I'm sure of it! That was Kuzco!!!" She said, as she watched us leave the place.

Zelma, however looked very angry. "Who's that that he's with?"

"That girl? I don't know. Some peasent."

"Oh I know her.." Kronk said. "She's one of the villagers. Name's Raina. Very nice girl...very nice.."

"Why's he with her?" Zelma growled, and bended her fork.

"Now now, dear. She must be assisting..."

"NO ONE TAKES KUZCO AWAY FROM ME!!!!!" She yelled, with fire in her eyes.

"Yes, I know dear...but...." Yzma's eyes widened. "You mean....you.....like him?"

"Like him? Ha! You think I'm jealous don't you?"

"No dear...I don't think you're jealous what so ever..now come on, they're getting away!" Zelma picked up Yzma and ran out, Kronk following.
