Brood: Yeehaww! Chapter two!
Zutsokaki: Yehaw? Suddenly feeling a bit like cowroping?
Brood: Not really. I thought it would be fun to say. Because this is a "yehaw" moment.
Zutsokaki: No. Just get this story over with. It's bad enough that your nearly 100,000 word story has no end in sight.....

Zutsokaki: *snorts*
Brood: *rolls her eyes* Where do you work, smart ass?
Zutsokaki: *shuts up*
CHAPTER TWO
Joey walked in the doors to McDonalds, holding his visor in his hands. A few of the employes greeted him. He smiled at them and gave a little wave.
Working in the hole (giving people food in drivethru) was Eve, a petite girl with short dark hair and light blue eyes. On front window (taking orders at the cash register) was Roddy. He was slightly big around the middle, with blonde hair. He was always good to talk to when things got quiet. Running (getting orders together) for Eve and Roddy was Naydene. She was a tall girl with light brown hair and grey eyes. She was going to be a manager in about two months. And she acted the part.
The people on grill were Peter and Max. They were a couple of red-headed guys who had been friends for a long time, and would sometimes finish each others sentences. The girl who was taking orders for drivethru was Tenna, a girl with dark blonde hair and green eyes. Joey liked these people for the most part. He just didn't talk to them much.
Eve walked out of the hole area after handing an order out and went over to Joey.
"Hey new boy. Marlene told me that you were taking over for me in the hole. I am getting off in about ten minutes, so why don't you run for me while I finish my shift?
"Sure Eve, no problem." Joey then went to clock in and put his visor on. He went over to the cash register. It was one of them that had the touch screen buttons. It was really neat. He clocked in and put his visor on. Or tried to. His hair was not permitting the visor to go over it. He tried shoving it over his hair, but the visor would just slide off again. Roddy looked over at him.
"Hey man. Having trouble? Just put it on behind your hair or something. Or just tilt it more to the back. Don't try to have it so much on the front of your head. Too much hair there!" He grinned. It was a Sunday afternoon, and bound to be quiet, so he didn't have much to do at the moment. He was currently wiping trays from the lobby area.
Joey took his advice and placed the visor farther back on his head. After a moment, he got it to stay on his head and he walked over to the screen where the drivethru orders were.
"One number two....super sized. Okay, I can handle that. Just put two cheeseburgers in a bag and the super sized fries. Not bad." Joey then put the fries in the fry box and set it down under the heat lamps and waited for the guys on grill to make the sandwiches. They were out soon enough and Joey put them in a bag. Then he got the fries and put them in the bag also. He handed the bag to Eve, and she put napkins in the bag, and put the drink with it.
She handed the order out the customers out the sliding window. Then she cleared the order from the screen and looked over at Joey.
"You think you can handle drive thru after I leave? Marlene will be switching shifts with a new manager later on today.....about another half hour I do believe."
"New manager?" Joey's face fell. Marlene had been the one to help him with all of his stuff so far, and he didn't know how he would get along with a new manager.....
"Yeah," Eve answered. "There's a new guy coming in from another location. Pretty young, maybe your age. Since its pretty quiet around here....."
At that moment, the manager Marlene walked in. She was a very tall woman with a slightly dominant air.
"Joey, good. You're here. You will be taking over for Eve in drive thru, and Naydene will run for you and Roddy."
Naydene spoke up. "Don't you think that *I* should be doing the drive thru since I have more experience than the new guy? Why doesn't he just stick to running?" She looked Marlene straight in the eyes with a dominering sparkle.
"No. New boy here needs the experience. Lord knows you have it. You remind us constantly. Let him do drive thru. He knows how. I trained him for a whole week, didn't I?" Marlene looked down on Naydene and she frowned a little bit.
A new order blipped onto the screen, and Naydene began to put it together begrudgingly. Joey looked over at the two women and then back up at Marlene.
"Alright. As Eve here may have already told you, I am leaving for the day in about half an hour. Think you can cope here without me? The new boy manager is going to come in and run things and see how he gets his bearings in this place." Marlene looked at Joey, and he nodded.
"Yeah, I think I can manage without you just fine. Now, you just want me on Drive Thru? No problem." His eyes glinted and he walked over to the hole and Naydene handed him the next order. Joey turned around to the drink machine and pulled out the Coke. He put the lid on it, put some napkins in the bag, and handed out the food to the customer.
Marlene smiled. "Just keep up the work, newbie." She turned to Naydene. "Now I'm going in the back to finish up some paper work. Just keep an eye on things until the other manager gets here."
Naydene was in her element. "Yes! I will!" She grinned smugly and Marlene walked off with a sweatdrop on her forehead.
Joey decided to ignore Naydene as much as possible. He leaned out of the window and gave another order, then came back in and cleared the orders off of the screen. There were no other orders in drive thru so he turned around to the drink machine and pressed in to make a small drink for him. He capped it and sipped it absently.
"YOU KNOW WE AREN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE DRINKS UP HERE!!!" Joey flinched as he heard Naydene screech at him. Roddy flashed a sympathetic glance over at Joey, and turned his head away from Naydene's tyrade.
"H...hey Naydene, sure we are! Just as long as the customer don't see us having it!"
"NO! NO!" Her eyes flamed at him, and Joey hunkered down. Then he looked up at a countertop beside the drink machine and pointed at the drink on it. It had an "M" on it. It was the mark Marlene put on her drinks.
"See? Marlene even gets drinks....."
"THEN MARLENE DOESN'T FOLLOW THE COMPANY RULE BOOK, NEWBIE!" She bent over him and snatched his drink away, throwing it out. Then she stomped off to the back room to find something wrong with what Tenna was doing.
Roddy watched her go off, then walked over to the drink machine and pressed in two more. He took one and handed the other one to Joey, who was standing again.
"She sounds like somebody shoved that Company Rule Book up her ass and left it there....." Roddy smirked.
Peter looked over from grill and nodded. "Yeah, you should have seen the crap she gave me on me and Max's first days....it was bad."
Then Max popped his head out. "She sure can take those rules too far.....but she's pretty nice when your not........." He paused.
"Breathing?" Peter finished.
"Yeah, that's the word," Max chuckled.
Joey grinned at them. "Yeah, I know those kinds of people. You say something, and then they think that they are so much better than you, telling you when to talk....calling you a dog....chiuahuah actually.....making me dream about me in a doggy suit....beside a Blue Eyes White Dragon....." Joey spaced and shuddered.
"You're....."
"Bizzare....."
"Yeah, that's it."
Joey facefaulted. A new order blipped onto the screen and Naydene still wasn't back from being herself. Roddy volunteered to run the order while Joey got the drinks together, and Peter and Max made the food up. As soon as they had gotten the order out, Joey looked at a clock.
"Hey, it looks about time for that new manager to be coming in....."
"Yeah, you're right Joey." Joey turned around. It was Marlene. Naydene was still with Tenna obviously.
Marlene looked at the clock. "Yes. The new manager should be coming in any moment now. That means I get to go home....." She grinned at Joey, who just stared back. He was sure he could handle his job without his normal manager there. He just grinned back with his usual goofy grin.
Just then, a shadow passed by the wall, close to the door.
"Ooh! That must be him now! Don't know why he bothers with the front door....." Marlene went back to get her coat so she could leave.
The door opened, and a tall boy walked in with his younger brother. Joey sneaked a peek before going back to the hole, but did a double take.
/SETO KAIBA!!!!!/
Zutsokaki: TELL ME WHY HE'S MANAGING A MCDONALDS!!!
Brood: Shut up. And all of you worrying about poor Kaiba's reputation, don't worry. It's safe. Leave the flames for a time that is not now, because if you flame me for this......I will use them make smores for all of my nice reviewers!
Zutsokaki: That's going to be alot of smores for so little people......
Brood: Zutso-kun. Do me a big favor and sew your mouth shut. R/R!
Zutsokaki: Yehaw? Suddenly feeling a bit like cowroping?
