Authors notes again- well, well, I see you've returned to this lovely
little tale of slackers and part timers, good for you. Though I'd be happy
if the more people then baka-alaskan would review this bloody story just so
I know someone's reading it.
"URASHIMA, BACK TO WORK!!!" Keitaro's boss, (who was related to Kitsune's boss), yelled from the back room. "AHH crap!" Keitaro ran to get the phone which had begun ringing. "Hello thank you calling pizza hut, how may I help you?" "ok, right, (scribbling on a pad of paper) ok, alright, and your where? Uhuh, password is hold the pickles hold the lettuce? Ok I'll have it there in twenty minutes, bye." He hung up and began making a pizza. "Anyone we know?" asked Alex as he enjoyed the fact that he had yet another break. "Those guys, you know, my best friends.uh.what were there names again?" Alex and Sarah facefaulted. "YOU STILL CAN'T REMEMBER THEIR NAMES?!?!?" "It's easy to forget, can't you remember?" Alex sweat dropped. "Well now that you mention it, no." "YOU MORONS, it's Haitani and Shiri!" yelled Sarah in frustration. "How'd she remember?" keitaro asked Alex, ignoreing the fact that he was putting way too much sauce on the pizza. "you got me man, uh Keitaro..look down."
Keitaro finally noticed his mistake, and in true keitaro fashion, freaked out, trying to fix it, and only making it worse. "keitaro, don't use too much of.oh never mind" Alexs sighed and sweatdropped as he watched Keitaro ruin a perfectally good pizza.
What they didn't notice was Sarah was behind the counter as well, amazingly, tossing a pizza dough like a pro.
Alex's attention was drawn away from his bumbling friend to notice this pizza prodigy in the making. "Wow Sarah, where'd you learn to make pizza like that?" She spread the sauce thin but not too thin as she answered "When you live out of a van with a man who's cooking skills don't stray too far from the microwave oven, you pick up a few things"
Keitaro and Alex watched as Sarah moved fluidly and gracefully around the room, getting the toppings and laying them on the layer of cheese in almost a ballet fashion. "this is like on of those magical girls moments." Alex muttered as Sarah flew grace fully past her pizza and with a flick of her wrist had deposited the perfect amount of peperoini with out even opening her eyes.
"WHAA!!! I should be takeing notes or something!" keitaro scrambled to find a notebook. "Hey Sarah, you don't go to school yet right?" Alex asked watching the Califorian girl perform a spin and shower pinapple on her creation. "Nope, I won't get registered for another year I think, why?" "Well if your interested I could get you a job at Haruka's place, you don't have to do much and pay sucks, well for me, your papa's paying your rent so I guess it'll be better for you, what do ya say?" she pole vaulted across the room on the oven paddle after depositing the masterpiece into the oven next to keitaro's crappy one, and landing on Alex's sholders, rideing piggyback. "sure why not, I'll I ever do is explore those tunnels, a change would be nice." She pulled on Alex's blond hair. "KEEYA, YA mule, to the drink machine, I need a refill." Alex sweatdropped and walked over to the soda dispenser. "AHHHH my pizza!!!!" Keitaro ran over to the oven which was now spewing black smoke. He opened the door and the smoke filled the room. "AHHH, Keitaro you dork! Open a window or something!" "AHHHH, that's not my hair that's my ears, OWWWW!!!" There was a loud thud as Alex tripped in the darkness and hit the floor face first. Meanwhile, Keitaro had turned off the oven, grabbed Sarahs pizza and ran out the door to make his first delivery.
"Konno, we have something to discuss." Kitsune shuddered, all of the worst conversations of her life had started like that. *FLASHBACK TO THIRD GRADE* "Now mitsune, we need to talk about how violent you are with the other children at recess, we've discussed this before and we're considering a change in schools, maybe send you to a privet school, with nuns, you liked their outfits right?" *flashback to high school* "Uh, kitsune.about this relationship we've had, it's nice and all but, I've found someone else, someone who gives me what I want. I'm sorry Kitsune but if you would just put out as much as people say you do..well, good bye then. *flashback to last week* Kitsune, we need to talk about this bar tab you've been working up, I need you to pay, or I'll have to cut you off." *flash to the present* "Konno, you're a lousy employee, your cooking stinks, and your customer service is the worst I've seen in years, but I need all the help I can get, I'm ready to let you in on a secret that will make sure you never have to work again, but if you except it, your choices are to do what we ask and get payed enough to live comfortably for the rest of your days, or die, are you ready to learn the secret?" Kitsune looked nervous, as serious as things got at home, or in the bar, she had never been threatened with death. "um..i uh." She stumbled over the words and decided, she was a gambler, and going for the big haul over the big fall is exactally what she did. "ok, I'm in!"
The elevator door opened after five minutes of going down. Kitsune's normally closed eyes opened wide as she was amazed at what she saw.
It was a huge underground cavern, must have gone all the way to Tokyo, and this part of it was filled with military looking buildings, troops in camo with Ms on their chests as a patch.
"Come this way Konno." Kitsune's boss led her into one of the buildings, into a small room with a screen and a slide projector. "Sit." He commanded pointing to a chair. She sat and the lights dimmed. *click* a scene depecting a triangle with the golden Arches on top, Burger kings logo to the right, and taco bell on the left. "for the past three years, these three major food producers have been at each others necks trying to destroy each other, knowing that the survivor of this war will become the only fast food joint in japan."
*click* scene showing several teenagers holding spatulas and looking like a Ad for the navy, complete with a WE NEED YOU logo strapped to the bottom. "we've been using employees for years, sending them out there, if you last three months you can go home and get paid." The lights turned on and the boss smiled at kitsune. "so, what size combat boots do you wear?"
Haitani, Shiri, Keitaro, and Alex sat around, enjoying Sarahs pizza. After dropping Sarah off and finding out the café was closeing early for a new paint job, Alex had wandered off to find keitaro, not hard seeing as he himself had gotten lost, but between the two half wits they formed a whole wit and managed to find their way. They we're now oblivious to the gunshots and explosions around them, Sarah's pizza was that good!
"so this whole war thing, how long do you have to stay in it?" keitaro asked the two troop/fastfood jockys. "well we've been here two, maybe three weeks, but with no sunlight it's hard to say." Shiri responded. "feels like I've been here for years." Haitani added as he looked at the stone cealing hundreds of feet above them. "He's just saying that because he misses his girlfriend." Shiri whispered. "you have a girl?" Alex asked skeptically. "yeah, shes so wonderful, if I live through this, I'm gonna ask her to marry me." "No way!!" Alex and Keitaro yelled in shocked unison. "yeah but she's only using him." Shiri sighed. "I've tried to get him to see she's just a bitch but..AGHU!" shiri was cut off as haitani punched him. "well um. we're very happy for you haitani, aren't we Alex." Keitaro added elbowing him. "wha? Oh yeah, happy." Alex smiled a very fake smile, but Haitani bought it. "See Shiri? Their happy for me." He smiled as he noogied his best friend. Slowly all eyes drifted over to the final slice of Sarah's wonderful pizza. "MINE!" they all dove at once and began wrestling for the last slice.
Boy that was short wasn't it? Sorry guys, a bit mores comeing up, in the mean time, read and review, and do the same for any of my other stories, I sware that their much better then this one. Also I guess if you want suggestions, read tears of a clown, I liked that one. Ok, I'm gonna go now.
Kitsune- oh come on you loser, don't leave us hanging!
Al- hey leave me alone, your just a cartoon character!
Haitani- Yeah but how sane can you really be if your argueing with a cartoon character?
Al- good point.
Kitsune- oh quit staling and get writeing, I want to see if I get out of this alive.
