After a long day at work, everybody was finally able to go home to rest in peace and Sleep.

"Your right its an every day thing, uh"

"Don't worry it was bit he just fell asleep and fell on my lap were the Box of Food for Apollo was" answered Ruby

"that explains a lot, and I think you should do the same and go to sleep" Marina tell her friend who just so happened fell asleep already.

*she just Smiles and Continues Driving to their Base which is just 30 min away but that night felt longer than any other night*

" Good morning you punks, listen up today there are 6 teams going into battle meaning that there are going to be many customers in today" Ruby said to their employees who where mostly more like friends.

"well since its going to be a long day Ruby and I decided to give you a nice breakfast before we open Flames up" Marina said happily

After everybody sat down and the food was on the table everybody started to eat happily until the pancakes reached Bit.

"Bit Cloud!!!, would you pass the pancakes, you know there are other people who want to eat some." yelled Marina Across the table

*Bit started to laugh*

"Ha, Ha, Ha, Don't Worry theirs plenty More, MA- RI-NA" He yelled Back at her from across the table.

"Bit!!!!!!" she yelled back at him

*everybody Just started to laugh at their friends Who were fighting for the Pancakes*

"Sam, can you pass the Bread Before Bit gets to it and eats it all" asked David who was the chef of the restaurant .

"Yeah ,Sure" Sam passes the bread

" Hey, I heard that, and I cant help it if I am very hungry" bit said in his defense. ~*~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~* "The battle is Over, the Battle is over the winner is the Flugel team" The Judge Cried out into the Battle Field.

Leon and Naomi got out of their Zoids and walked over to their opponents destroyed zoids " I must admit you guys put up quite a fight" Naomi said to their opponents

"thank you, but the best team won" said the man

*his partner a young girl of about 17 walk up to them*

"Dad we must get going" she said to her father after she had shaken hands with the flugel team.

The man looked at his daughter and said good bye.

*Naomi and Leon go back into their zoids and leave too*

"Hey Naomi are you hungry?" Leon asked over the intercom

"yeah, but were are we going to find somewhere to eat in the middle of the desert" she asked her partner.

" theirs a town called the city of Dreams about an hour away, I heard they have a Restaurant/shop called Flames their care to check it out" he asked her

"Sure why not" Naomi answered ~*~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~* Mean while back at flames. Hi welcome to flames, my name is Jenny I'll be your waitress today, when you are ready please press this button in the middle of the table and I'll be here as soon as I can to take your order."

" I would like two Raynos Burgers and a Zoids kids meal"

"ok, sir would that be all" asked Samantha.

*The customer nodded*

"Table #6's order is Ready Angela" called Marina

"Tables 8 and 9 are ready as well" called Britney to Ashley and Debra. ~*~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~SHOP~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~* "All systems Checked" Paul called to Bit at the counter

"Alright, Sir that would be $6,000for the New arm on the Rev Raptor" Bit told the Customer.

"wow, you guys are fast and cheap," *the man signs the receipt and stays with the copy and of the original form.

"Hey ,Bit what time is it" asked a very dirty Ruby, in a black and red jumper that had the Flames logo on the front.

" Its only 3:00pm, why is the baby tired"

"Shut up, Bit"

"well I was just asking because I'm tired of looking at the screen"

" Ha, ha, ha for that I think I should just leave you working their all day, bye " she left bit still Sitting their with a face of disbelief. ~*~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~Restaurant and shop~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~** A Fire alarm Bell Rings....

" ha, ha to bad for them" Bit thought to him self But Didn't know it was his turn to be Marinas Partner.

*the customer that Bit is attending looks at him with a bewilder face about the Bell and why all of a sudden all the young men that were working left Next Door*

"Excuse me, May I ask why all your mechanics just left and didn't finish working on my zoid" She Asked

"Miss I don't mean to be Rude but if you want to know You may go next door and find out for your Self, I think its about to start" he responded

*She Does As she's Told* *At the sound of the Bell all the waitress stop taking orders and went to gather around the counter and entered a room in order to change.*

Many people where bewildered by this and waited.

"huh? What's going on?" asked Michelle

*Michelle was new so she had no clue what was going on*

"Listen Rookie, I need you to just watch and learn" Marina said to her

*marina is on the counter with a microphone and Bit next to her with a white Shirt and black Pants*

" Ladies and Gentlemen Welcome to Flames restaurant/ Shop. WE Hope you are enjoying your Meals and we would like to show you why we are well known, as well to show you what are mechanics and waitresses can do. So please enjoy and have a nice day."

*Marina Cues Michelle to put the CD in and puts the MIC Down and turns to Bit who grabs her hand and gives her a spin before the intro starts.*

*The Music Start and Bit gets marina and starts to dance with her Tango to "Objection" by Shakira*

....It's not her fault that she's so irresistible But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable Every twenty seconds you repeat her name But when it comes to me you don't care If I'm alive or dead ...

*all the others join in as the song get into the first verse and begin to dance, at this the customers are amazed by this and at how well they can dance on the not so wide counter*

Ruby wasn't really up for dancing so she sat out looking after the Shop

*Leon and Naomi walk In to the Shop*

"HI and welcome to Flames shop How may I help you?"

...So objection I don't wanna be the exception To get a bit of your attention ...

" Hi, um I was wondering If we can have are Zoids Checked" Leon asked

"yeah, are the Zoids damaged or is it just to see if theirs anything Wrong with its system or any other thing" she asked

"My Gun Sniper just has a dent on the left arm but nothing serious, but I would like it checked to see if it my cause any problems later" Naomi said

...I'm falling apart in your hands again No way I've got to get away ..

"Sure, but it will be a while until my mechanics get back but you are allowed to enjoy the show next Door, eat if your hungry and watch the Zoids Battle that are going to Start in 30 min. But I'll need you to bring your zoids and parked them in #8 and 9 your table is # 6 ok "

"ok is that all you need" Leon asked

"Um Yeah I need your Zoids Registration number, for security purposes" She told them

They Gave her their #'s and left to get their Zoids. *Applauding from the audience next Door is heard*

"Back already," She Smiles at Bit Evilly

"Yeah, got a problem with that" he returns the evil smile.

*She gets up slowly from the chair *

"Paul, its your turn to take care of the counter" a running Ruby said

" Alright" he answered Back

"Uh, ow! Bit get off me *laughing* we got to get *laughing* back to work" she said to Bit who had jumped on her and then started to tickle her.

Bit agreed to get off and then left her on the Floor while he went to finish working on the Sky team Zoids which were 3 pteras.

When she got up she saw Leon and Naomi walk into the restaurant and decided to check their Zoids since it was only system and armor checks she had to do. ~*~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~ Naomi and Leon sat down at the table they were told to sit.

"Hi welcome to Flames restaurant, I will be your waitress today, my name is Marina and when you are ready to order just press the button right here and I'll be here as soon as I can." *smiles and leaves* ~*~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~* *~**~**~**~* "All Systems are good and so is the armor on both Zoids, amazing how can an anyone keep their zoids in good condition" thought Ruby to her self

"Hey, kid you got a call from the ZBC you want me to pass it to you" asked Bit over their personal inter com ( walky-talkies/ phone ) that they have .

"Yeah Pass it" she said

ZBC: Hello, who am I speaking to?

Ruby: this is Jessica R Gomez

ZBC: Good, listen your team has a Zoid Battle on Friday against the Eternal team at 3:00pm.

Ruby: understood, but can I ask something

ZBC: Yeah

Ruby: why is it that all Zoid battles are going from 6 am to 12pm lately I mean tonight were going to end up pulling an all night shift so we can finish the Zoids in time for the Battles Tomorrow.

ZBC: well since you do give us discounts on food, I'll tell you

Ruby: ok

ZBC: the reason is because we are planning to have a festival in your town since its located in a nice place and it goes well with the name of the festival.

Ruby: ok, when does the festival take place?

ZBC: the invitations are going to go out on thanksgiving and the festival will be on the week of Christmas. But will need you and the other Shops to stay open this whole month and the next so they can have their Zoids checked, alright.

Ruby: confirmed, thanks for the info

ZBC: alright, then bye

"Bit do me a favor I need you to go to table 6 and let them know that their Zoids are ready to go" she said over the Com

"Alright let me finish here and I'll go" he answered back

"Paul the Sky and Night teams Zoids are finished alright, so get their receipts ready" Bit said

"Paul can you do the same for table 6 ,Please ? and give it to Bit." Ruby asked and said to him

"Sure thing guys" Paul answered to both of his partners

Bit got down from the command wolf of the Night team and walked to get the receipts for the teams.

"Hi, uh which one of you is the captain of the team?" Bit asked

"That would be me" a young woman with red hair said

"Ok, I need you to sign here and you can pay at any register you want and you'll be able to take your Zoids"

"Ok, thank you" she said politely and walked with her team next door to pay for the Zoids and the Food.

He walked to the next table which was were the Sky team was sitting

"Ok , sky team your Zoids are ready I just need you to sign here and you'll be able to take your zoids"

*Bit explained to them the same thing to them as the night team*

Bit with out noticing walked over to table number 6 and stop right in front them, Angela was talking to him so he hadn't turned to see them yet.

"Ok, but tell Sam that I'll do it but not now"

"Thanks, Bit you're the Greatest" she gives him a hug and continues working.

"The things I do for these girls" he thought to himself

"Alright sorry about that-" Bit said slowly and just stared at Leon and Naomi

"Hi, Bit" Said Naomi

"Hi" he said in disbelief at the fact that he was looking at Brads Girlfriend and Leena's older Brother.

"Um, oh yeah your Zoids are ready I need one of you to sign here and you can pay at either register if you like for both the food and the Zoids." he told them and left.

"SO this is where he's been hiding" Leon told Naomi

"hmm.. Who would of thought after making it to class S he would leave " Naomi said to Leon

Naomi just giggled and followed her partner next Door. ~*~**~**~**~**~**~back in the Shop~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~**~ "Ok, thank you and my compliments to the Chef" the captain of the Night team said

"Hey, Bit" Paul called to him over the com

"Yeah"

" Ruby said that she needs every one down in front of the counter because she has some sort of announcement she need to make so get everybody to stop working and bring them down here"

"Alright"

"Bit and the others can stay in are Gustav Sleeping until you need to change Shifts" added Naomi

"Ruby it is the only place there is I just checked all the Hotels and their full because of the Battles that are taking place tomorrow" said Eric

"Well alright but I'll have to be two at a time ok and then you'll be able to take a shower in the Bathroom (the reason theirs a Shower is because they always come out dirty from something)" Ruby agreeing to the idea suggested by Leon and Naomi
