Seto opened the double doors only to find a projectile spoon homing in on his head. His hand just grabbed it before he could think. He paused before saying; "I found the dull spoon I was talking about Mr. Born". Mr. Born looked at him and laughed. "Where's my spoon gone?" called out a girl's voice franticly. Seto heard the voice and made his way down the lane of cookers and ovens then turned right to find a girl, working in the corner, ransacking draws to find another spoon. "Seto, I'm going to have a look around if you don't mind" said Mr. Born as he went darting around and tasting all the food. Seto just shrugged. The girl was still on her quest to find a spoon, but her long golden mousey blonde hair, which was tied back in a ponytail, got caught in one of the draws. "OW!" she yelled and tried to detach her hair from the draw. Seto didn't know what to think he just stood looking. "Oh you klutz" said another girl as she came to the rescue. She had blonde hair that came down just below her neck. Her blue eyes glanced at Seto as if to say 'why aren't you helping', and then went back to the girl who had her hair caught. Seto had a very cold feeling when she looked at him, and he didn't like it much, but he just kept looking. "How did you manage to do this?" asked the girl with blonde hair, as she struggled with the draw that seemed to swallow more hair each second. "I don't know! I didn't do it! My hair does it by itself!" sniffed the other girl sitting down. "I have a better idea" said another girl with blue eyes and brown hair, also in a ponytail but not as long as the other girls', coming down to were the other two were standing. "Why don't we just cut her hair short?" she said bringing her hand from behind her back and showing big shiny silver scissors. "NO!" screamed the girl sitting down. "Stop wriggling, it's making it worse" said the blonde haired girl. "Don't worry, I'm only kidding" said the girl with brown hair, as she put the scissors down on the side and tried to help the other girl. By now Seto's jaw was wide open. He couldn't believe what was happening. It was like a well- rehearsed play. But he still stood in his spot. "Ow, that hurt!" yelled the girl sitting down on the floor, her blue eyes now watering. "There it's done" said the blonde haired girl, "Oh no! My stir fry!" she exclaimed and legged it back to her wok. The two girls looked in puzzlement for a bit, until the girl with brown hair stretched out her hand and helped the other girl up. "Thanks Kitty" said the long haired girl with a sniff. "It's nothing. Oh but that reminds me, I think my chicken has a tiny bit more than a tan now" said the girl and ran off in the direction the other one had gone before. "Thanks Ruby!" yelled the girl. "Its okay!" came a yell back from down the ally. "Spoon?" Kaiba questioned. Then in his head thought 'you cretin, is that the best you can say?'. "Excuse me?" the girl questioned as she turned round to face Seto. "I thought you lost a spoon" Seto said. "Oh yes!" exclaimed the girl as her blue eyes sparkled. "Here" said Seto, and he handed the spoon to her. The girl looked, "Thanks" she said gratefully. "But there's nothing to taste anymore" she added. "Why?" Seto inquired. "Because my water's evaporated" she said blankly. "Oh. Ah... I'm Seto Kaiba" said Seto. "Really? I'm April Devlin. Nice to meet you" said the girl. "Nice to meet you too" Seto said, "Oh, I should go and see where Born is. Bye" he added and walked off. "Bye" called out April. After a walk-through tour given by Andreo. Seto was told that the main prize, which was a trip to Florida, would be given to an eighteen-year-old boy by the name of Max Igami. As Max was standing in front of Seto, waiting for the trophy and prize, he took out a gun and pointed it at Seto. "Boss says the timer ran out dear Seto" he spoke and took the safety off. Right at that moment some guy yelled; "Anyone got the frying pan? Quick!" "I have it!" April's voice yelled back. "Hurry, I need it now!" the yell answered. April picked up her frying pan and dashed towards the voice. "Corkscrew! I need a corkscrew!" came a different yell from a different direction. "Coming!" yelled Kitty. April was running with the frying pan in front of her. And she ran right into Max, like a steaming train, whacking him on the head with the pan. April stopped and stared. Max dropped the gun and to stop himself from falling over he held onto the wooden shopping board, which was attached to the cooking surface. As he did, he knocked over a jug of water. Right then Kitty came, with her back turned to the chaos spot, proudly saying "I have the corkscrew, now who wants it?" while turning around, with her eyes closed, and stabbing it into the chopping board. She wondered why it took a bit more force for it to go into the wood. Although when she opened her eyes, she found out. And all she could say was "Oops" in a squeaky tone. Max screamed out with excruciating pain as his legs gave way and he fell. The only thing keeping him in a slight sitting position was the corkscrew that went through his hand and into the chopping board. "Stupid stir fry!" mumbled Ruby to herself as she took the wok, filled with boiling hot oil and burned mangled vegetables, towards the back door to chuck it out. As she made her way she skidded on the wet floor, her wok went for a flying lesson and landed right on Max's vulnerable area. "I blame the wet floor" said Ruby in protest. The Burning oil combined with the smell of burned food, a nasty whack on the head and corkscrew in the hand, was just a bit too much for Max to take and he passed out on the spot. This all happened so quickly that when it was over, everyone had gathered into a circle and watched in shock. The silence was broken by April who totally disregarded the fact of the gun, the man and the mess, to point out that the blood, which was trickling down Max's hand, had formed a dog shape. What was worse is that fellow cooks behind her started to agree. "Looks more of a dragon to me" said Kitty. Suddenly it went quiet again. A few seconds later and the cooks were nodding and agreeing. Seto was dumbstruck. Andreo was confused and Mr. Born was just... Blank. "Everyone take a lunch break, come back at two" said Andreo as everyone cleared out. "You three stay please" he said, nodding to April, Kitty and Ruby. "I didn't mean to hit him... Hard" April said in a high pitch 'it wasn't me' tone. "I didn't mean to stab him, honest" Kitty protested her innocence. "It was the floor" said Ruby plainly. And when she did she got glances from Kitty and April. "Don't worry you three; thank you is what I want to say. This could have been a lot worse" said Andreo. "I'll send some of my men to sort this out" said Seto as he turned and went out the double doors. Mr. Born turned after Seto but paused before the doors, "Would you three please follow me?" he asked. "Um okay" Kitty said as she stepped over Max and walked up to Mr. Born. "We'll be back tomorrow sir" Ruby said to Andreo. "Alright girls" he replied. And then Ruby stepped over Max mumbling 'stupid' under her breath as she went to where Kitty was standing. April put the frying pan down on the side and began to take a step when Max flinched. April screamed, grabbed the pan and whacked him with it. "April why did you do that?" questioned Ruby, "He moved" replied April. "Well I'm sure he isn't going to be moving for a long time now" Kitty said. "Come on April" said Ruby. April looked up at them with a worried face, put the pan on the side and leaped over Max. "Right, now follow me" Mr. Born said as he pushed the double doors, went through the restaurant and outside. The three girls followed. "After you" he said and opened the door of the limousine. "Thanks" said Kitty and went inside, followed by Ruby and April. Kaiba was already sitting inside with his head behind a newspaper. Mr. Born got in, shut the door and told the driver to take them to 'The House'. It was silent until half way throughout the journey Seto spoke from behind the newspaper; "I can just see this in the headlines tomorrow" he said. Apart from that there was no noise at all.
