Ch. 3: I don't take no for an answer

"No medabots allowed you say. Is $20 American good enough for two medabots to be here for one day?" asked Caroline holding a twenty dollar bill.

"I mean it Ms. No medabots allowed." Said the waiter.

"I only have $60 American so the meal better be good." Answered Caroline getting really annoyed.

"Ms. No medabots. The only way you could change my mind is if you talk to manager and he changes the rules." Replied the waiter.

"The manager you say? Where is he kind sir?" Caroline said trying to sound like a cute little girl.

"Right this way little girl." Replied the waiter.

"Arigato kind sir." Said Caroline with the cute little girl voice.

"Are you the manager?" asked Caroline with a sweet voice.

"Yes I am little girl." Answered the manager.

"What's the matter with you? Medabots should be allowed in here!" Caroline now said with an angry voice.

"Ms. Medabots are allowed in here as of yesterday." Answered the manager.

"Then why did the waiter go, "No medabots allowed."  In the snobby kind of voice?" asked Caroline trying to imitate the way the waiter spoke.

"He probably didn't get the memo. I'll go tell him." Said the waiter.

"I'm very sorry miss. I didn't get the memo. Here's your table." Said the waiter apologetically.  

"Wow. Are you sure you're feeling OK?" asked Gatora.

"I'm fine. Don't worry. I just don't like it when people say medabots are not allowed. Medabots aren't pets. They're like humans except they're made of metal." Answered Caroline with her sweet voice.

"You're right! Medabots aren't like pets at all." Said Ikki automatically.

"I'm going to get something to eat. How about you?" asked Caroline with a kind voice that Ikki blushed at hearing.

"Yeah." Answered Ikki with a shy voice.

Caroline smiled seeing that Ikki was starting to like her.

"Let's see. There's so much food to try. I think I'll try one of each." Said Caroline stuffing her plate with a complete main course.

"I love the octopus balls here." Said Ikki.

"I've never tried an octopus ball." Said Caroline wondering what they might taste like.

"They're really good." Replied Ikki.

Caroline and Ikki sat down with their meals.

"Where are you from?" asked Ikki curiously.

"Canada." Answered Caroline.

"You're Canadian? Then what were you doing with American money?" asked Ikki.

"I left $20 in my pocket when I came here." Said Caroline.

"Why'd you say you say you had $60?" asked Ikki.

"Because I do. Just not here. $40 are at home. Technically I didn't lie. He misinterpreted what I said. I've been known to be able to pull those kind of tricks." Said Caroline.

"I think you and I could get along nicely." Said Metabee.

"Thanks Metabee." Said Caroline.

No cliffhanger on this chapter. See, I'm not that evil. There should be quite a few more chapters to come. Don't think this is the end. Trust me, it gets a lot more interesting later on. Later, Koji will come along. What will he do? I wonder. Please R+R. Thanks!
