CHAPTER THREE



Joey's heart skipped three beats as he caught sight of the billionare teen at the front counter. A bag of food appeared in front of him, and he realized that Roddy had placed the order for drivethru in front of him. He grabbed it and ducked back into the hole.

"Here you are, your Big Mac meal and diet coke....please come back again...."

"Make inu!? Is that you!?" (a/n: Make inu translates into "pathetic dog")

Joey's hair stood on end and he pressed the clear button by drivethru.

"Answer me, bonkotsu!" (a/n: Bonkotsu translates into "mediocre")

Roddy turned towards Seto and stared at him.

"Why the heck are you calling Joey those names? Who do you think you are?"

"I am Seto Kaiba."

Roddy nearly had a cardiac arrest right there. "S-s-s-seto Kaiba!? What is a guy like you doing here!?"

Peter and Max ducked back behind the grill area, whispering madly.

"If you must know......"

At that time, Marlene walked back up with her coat. "Roddy, why aren't you getting orders? You're just standing there!" She frowned a little bit. "I don't see the manager anywere...."

Joey snapped out of his stupor. "You mean that Kaiba isn't our manager!?"

At this, Seto leaned over the counter and glared at Joey. "So it IS you! And riddle me this, doggy boy, why on earth would I want to manage such a grease pit like this, when I have my multi-billion dollar corporation to run!"

Mokuba just stared at them. He usually just let his big brother have his amusement, even if it got under people's skin.

"But if you want it so badly......I COULD buy the place.....and do away with a certain job....."

Joey glared at Seto. "You think anyone would stand for it? And what would your big wig partners say if you bought a McDonalds just so you could fire one guy you didn't like?"

"HEY! BOTH OF YOU! CAN IT!" Marlene jumped at the both of them. "Joey! Do not argue with the customer! And YOU!" She pointed at Seto, "Do NOT aggrivate my employees!"

Seto stared at the mad manager with awe and anger. "How DARE you speak to Seto Kaiba like that!"

"I will, because when you come in here, you are on MY turf, boy! You are younger than me, and just because you have tons of money does not mean that you can't still be put in your proper place!"

Seto just glared at her. Marlene stalked off to the back. When Seto was sure that the crazy lady was gone, he poked Mokuba and he walked up to the counter, looking at Roddy, who was right by the register.

"I want a Crispy McChicken meal, supersized!"

Seto looked at him. "You can't eat a whole supersized McNasty meal......"

Mokuba shot his head at Seto. "Can too!"

"You are getting a Greasy Chicken meal....six piece. And medium sized."

"I don't want Chicken nuggets! I want the chicken sandwich! AND supersized!"

"Nuggets"

"Sandwich!"

"Nuggets!"

Mokuba glared at him and then slipped Roddy a ten dollar bill from his pocket. "I want the Crispy McChicken meal. Supersized."

Roddy looked at Seto and shrugged. He rang it up and handed Mokuba the really big cup, pocketing his bribe. Seto was glaring daggers at the both of them, and Joey was supressing laughter.

Seto glared then at Joey, and handed Roddy a fifty dollar bill to pay for the meal. Roddy quickly rang up the large amount of change, and handed it to Seto, who wasn't even looking at him.

After a second, the sandwich was made by Max or Peter, and Roddy got the fries. He stuck it in a bag and handed it to Mokuba, and Seto immediatly strode out with Mokuba bouncing at his heels.

That was when all three of them turned on Joey. "How do you know Seto Kaiba! When did you meet! You obviously don't like eachother much! So, tell us!"

Joey stepped back. "It's true that we have never been on the best of terms.....and I got to know him....at the Duelist Kingdom tournament......"

"You were at the Duelist Kingdom! Did you guys duel?"

"Well, yeah I was at Duelist Kingdom! I placed....." But nobody got the chance to hear what place he got since they all heard the back door open and close again. Marlene poked her head up front saying that the new manager was here.

Peter and Max went back to the grill area, and Roddy wiped off the counters as a woman with her small child walked inside to place an order.

Joey grabbed a small stack of cup lids and restocked the drive thru supply, and heard Marlene chatting with someone. After a second or two, she came up.

"Wow....I am impressed. This guy is young for a manager, but he knows his stuff. He tells me that he has been working here for over a year now, and learned the stuff pretty fast. Not bad at all. Oh, here he is!"

The young man walked up from the back, looking them both, and his eyes resting on Joey, slightly surprised. Joey could only stare back with the same simple shock. It was Malik Ishtar.

"Hello. I am Malik....." He kept his eyes on Joey, but met the gaze of the others.

"Yes, now all of you be nice to Malik, he needs to get used to this store." Marlene smiled and clocked out. "Now I've already counted the registers for afternoon, and the schedule is already up. I left the clipboard with the places the others are supposed to be on the desk in the office." With that, she turned and left.

Joey turned to Malik. "Since when did you work at McDonalds, Malik!?"

Malik turned to Joey. "Isis wanted me to get a job......and so I came to the first place that would hire me. They hired me on the spot actually....I became a manager about a month and a half ago, and then I got transferred here. Simple enough, right?"

"I suppose......" He just could never imagine Malik himself working at a McDonalds, but after seeing Seto here, he guessed anything was possible.

Suddenly an order blipped onto the screen, and it contained a Fudge Brownie Sundae. He went over to make it himself, and looked over the instructions for it. He sat there befuddled for a moment looking at it. He had never made one before..... He picked up the container and placed a brownie inside, and then put some ice cream on the top. He stood there for a moment and then stared at the fudge dispenser.

"Do you not know how to make a sundae?" It was Malik.

"Eh, not really man...."

"Then let me help you....." Suddenly his voice got deeper, and his hair stood up. It was odd to see Malik in a McDonalds manager uniform in the first place, but seeing Yami Malik was even more odd.

"Eep."

An evil grin lighting his face, Yami-Malik reached for the can of whipped creame.

Joey was stunned and paralyzed. He didn't quite know what he had planned..........

"I.....I....I didn't know you brought the Rod with you to work......."

"I believe that I am not complete without my Rod......"

Joey, despite himself, snickered. But that didn't stop Yami Malik's grin from getting wider. Roddy and Max were peering at them, wondering what had happened to the new manager, and why he was staring at Joey with that evil grin.....

"WAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!"

"AHHHHH!!!"



Half an hour later, Joey, covered in whipped cream and other nice little McDonalds condiments, was walking down the street with Max, Peter, and Roddy. They had all run out when Yami Malik started causing havoc just because it was a public place. The other guys were covered with little things from McDonalds also, but Joey definitly got the worst of it.

"I wonder how Tenna and Naydene are doing....."

"I wonder if I care how Naydene is doing...."

"I wonder how I'm gonna tell my sister that I have no job now...." Joey sighed.

Roddy looked up at Joey. "Hey man, don't get down. Let's just hope that the crazy dude doesn't stay employed much longer....."

Joey didn't think Malik getting fired was going to happen anytime soon. As long as he had the Millennium Rod, he wasn't going anywhere.

The group of sauces and cream covered guys got stares and gawkings, but they didn't notice. Soon enough, Max and Peter said goodbye and turned down another street, and Roddy broke off soon after. Joey then remembered in the panic to get out of the store with the others, he left his car at McDonalds.

He groaned and turned back. About another half hour later, he was back again, and groaned again. Yami Malik had sprayed whipped cream all over his clunky old car, and there was even a large cream Millennium eye sprayed onto the hood.

Joey got inside of the car, thanking God or Ra or whoever was listening that his seats were made of leather. He got his car keys and drove home.

His sister wasn't home from a friend's house, and Joey took the opportunity to take a shower. When he got out, he slumped into his chair, scrubbing dry his scruffy blonde hair. Sighing, he picked up a newspaper.

Joey's eyes almost immediatly fell on a certain article.

WANTED! TESTERS NEEDED FOR NEW VIRTUAL GAME! APPLY IN PERSON AT.....................Joey's excited and lighted face took a quick nosedive.......KAIBA CORP!

Was he this desperate for a job? Would he go to Kaiba corp and ask for a job from SETO KAIBA!?!? Was he ready to sink so low as to go crawling to Kaiba corp just to keep his sister happy?

Yes. Damn.
