*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"How much time do we have before Koji and Karen arrive at the restaurant?" Ikki asked, running full speed towards the address Erika gave him, Erika running right behind him.
"Eck! 2 Minutes! We will really have to move it!" Erika shouted, thanking God for the little black shoes that were sturdy and easy to run in, amazing because they were so elegant and so-
"Erika! Wake UP!"
Erika shrieked as she suddenly stopped, just stopping short from bumping into Ikki.
"What? What? What is it?" She cried, her hands on her camera, ready for anything.
"I just asked what time they were going to be there?" Ikki said, his face telling her all.
"Oh….well, we-er, Koji and Karen are going to be there at seven." Erika said, checking her watch.
"What a second," Erika took a closer look at her watch.
"NO WAY!"
"What is it?" Ikki asked, peering down to look at her watch.
"My watch stopped! What's your watch say?" Erika asked, roughly grabbed Ikki's wrist to look at his watch.
"NOOOOOO! NONONONONONONONONO!" She screamed, her feet flying across the pavement, Ikki barely managing to keep up.
"What (gasp) is (pant) it?" He asked between breaths.
"My watch is twenty minutes late! IF we don't get there soon we're going to miss the whole story! Move it Ikki, Run I tell you! Run like the wind!"
On that note, Ikki tried not to pass out from lack of oxygen when his best friend grabbed him and dragged him towards the restaurant, while nearly breaking the speed barrier.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"May I help you?" A snobbish waiter asked, eyeing their clothes and noting they arrived in no vehicle.
"Yes, a table for two please." Erika said, she and Ikki looking for any sign of the other couple.
"Right, well, do you have a reservation?" The waiter asked, not moving an inch from his position.
"No, but, we can still get in without a reservation, right?" Ikki asked, clearly getting nervous.
"Right, but I'm guessing wildly here that you probably don't have enough money to even pay for a crumb." The waiter said loudly, attracting attention from other tables.
"Therefore, would you like me to call a cab? You do have at least enough money for that, don't you?"
Erika clenched her fists, this guy was so rude! Overbearing! Didn't he know a reporter when he saw one?
"Listen mister, we are waiting here patently for a table, are you going to get us one of not?" Erika spoke through clenched teeth.
"Probably not." The man said, moving on to a couple behind them, giving them a table immediately.
"This is not fair!" Ikki shouted angrily.
Erika agreed with him in an instant. When the rude waiter came back they both marched right up to him.
"Listen here, I'm a reporter, and unless I get a seat, I'm going to print an article on the horrible service of this restaurant with your name on it!" She told him, taking a quick picture.
"And I'm the third best medafighter of Japan, if you don't let us have table, let's settle this with a robattle!" He said, his hand on his watch, ready to transport Medabee.
The face on the man turned from red to extreme pale.
"Table for Two? We have a wonderful seat right by the water fountains." He said, quickly leading them to a secluded spot right beside a beautiful water fountain with little goldfishes and minnows swimming in it.
"Thank-you." They told him in unison as they sat down.
"I'll be right back with your menus." He said, before leaving in a hurry.
After a minute of admiring the water fountains, the meaning of their visit came back to them.
"Where's Koji and Karen?" Ikki asked.
Erika groaned, just now she realized the extreme limited view of the table, the only other table they could see was across the water fountain, and it was very blurry to see through the water.
Slowly rising in her seat, Erika took a quick covert glance all around.
"I can' see anything." She complained.
After while of waiting for the waiter to come back, Erika rested her head on her arms, which were resting on the table.
Slowly her eyes became heavier and heavier, and….he..av..i..e..r….
A bit of commotion on the other side of the fountain woke her up, Erika stood up and decided to investigate.
"Koji, this is wonderful, thank-you for bringing me here." A familiar surgery sweet voice said.
Erika immediately hid behind a conveniently placed plant and spied on the couple.
'Beautiful, Koji is blushing, Karen is smiling. Koji is slowly taking her hand, Perfect!" Erika quickly turned off the flash and began taking pictures, unaware of the growing crowd behind her.
'Oh my goodness!' Erika watched in shock as Koji suddenly leaned forward and planted a kiss of Karen's lips. 'I can't believe I actually got a picture of that!'
"Miss?"
Erika waved off the person.
"Shhh, I'm busy, can't you see?" She said, taking more pictures of Koji and Karen.
"Oh, Erika-" Erika cut off Ikki's voice.
"Busy here!"
"But you really should-"
"MISS!"
Erika jumped five feet in the air. Wincing from the certain hearing loss, Erika turned around.
A crowd of people, waiters, waitresses, and a manager were standing there, all with very unhappy looks on their faces.
"I can explain, see, I'm a reporter and I'm here on an exclusive story." Erika said, trying to appear professional.
"Bad one Erika." Ikki muttered to the right of her.
"What?" She asked. Ikki simply pointed to a sign near the doorway.
"Hehe…opps."
The sign stated as follows:
NO REPORTERS ALLOWED! ANY REPORTERS CAUGHT ON THE PREMISES WILL BE THROWN OUT AND/OR TAKEN TO THE POLICE FOR DIRECT VIOLATION OF OUR CLIENTS PRIVACY.
"Well, I'm not on a story of anybody…"
Erika edged back as the menacing crowd advanced.
"Surely you can make an excepti-"
Ikki pointed to another sign near the first one.
NO EXCEPTIONS.
"What is this? The public has the right to know you know!" She cried out, stamping her foot on the ground for dramatic purposes.
THE PUBLIC HAS NO RIGHTS IN THIS RESTURANT, ONLY CLIENTS.
Erika stared incredulously at the poster which just popped up as she finished speaking.
"What in the world is going on here?" She asked.
DUH! IT'S A DREAM DUMMY.
"AH!"
"Erika? Wake up."
Erika shot awake. She was still in that funny restaurant. Hurriedly she stood up and glanced around her.
"Phew, no signs." She sighed happily.
"Huh?"
"Nevermind."
