A/N: yea! The food court! My favorite part…
Back where Mikey was, the customer treated the adorable kid to some of Ishizu's Ice Cream. But the cone that Mikey got almost cost a fortune! Mikey was eating a super large quadruple scoop ice cream. He had mint chocolate, jamoca fudge, strawberry and his favorite vanilla. Then there were the toppings. He insisted on getting one topping for each of his scoops. Cookie chunks for mint chocolate, rainbow sprinkles for strawberry, chocolate covered raisins for jamoca fudge, and chocolate sprinkles for vanilla. Then he wanted fruit. Banana, strawberries, cherries, pineapple and then some cinnamon apples on his ice cream. It was so big, that Ishizu had to put it in a to-go box. The price of the ice cream was $167.49. Ishizu was a happy camper. The nice customer, Bob, wasn't nice anymore.
"You left me broke kid! I was going to buy a present for my wife, but instead I spent it all on a brat who I don't even know! Why I ought to…" but he stopped seeing Mikey's big puppy dog eyes. Bob looked away.
"I'm going to leave you here, okay?"
"Alright! Thanks for the ice cream Bob!" And Mikey watched the man run away crying. Mikey ate half of everything on his ice cream and gave the rest to a hobo who was sitting by the trash can.
"Here mister. I can't finish it. Will you eat it for me?" Mikey handed him the ice cream and walked away.
"God Bless you!" the hobo cried and gratefully ate the ice cream. Mikey was headed to Dartz's Donuts. Since he was already in the food court, he decided to visit all the restaurants and what free samples he could get. Dartz's Donuts smelled of cinnamon and sugar. Mikey was in love with the donuts in the window and stuck to it like glue.
"Mikey! What a surprise! It thought I blew you up for good!"
"What?"
"Never mind. So is Alister with you?"
"No."
"Are you going to buy something?"
"No."
"Then what are you doing here?" Dartz stared at the toddler. Mikey stared back.
"I was hoping to get free samples."
"There are no samples here."
"Can I have a donut?"
"I only give them to paying customers."
"Oh. Can I pay with cash?" When Bob was buying the ice cream, he made a mistake and told Mikey to hold his wallet. Mikey took the money out and gave the wallet back to Bob. Bob concluded that he was broke and left Mikey. Now Mikey took out the $400.17 he had in his pocket. Dartz's looked at the money.
"What do you want?" and Mikey picked out 3 donuts. 1 chocolate glazed, 1 cinnamon sugar, and 1 raspberry jelly for Alister. Dartz gave the bag to Mikey, Mikey paid and all was well.
"Come back soon! And bring your brother!" Dartz happily called out waving the cash in the air. Mikey munched on the chocolate glazed donut and held on tightly to the bag. He stepped inside of Bakura's Bakery.
Alister searched everywhere for Mikey. He ran into Seto's soaps and asked Seto if he'd seen Mikey. Seto just scoffed and said, "Talk to the hand." He put up his hand.
"Fine." Alister ran to the next store to ask. Back at Bakura's Bakery, it was so busy that Mikey was practically being stepped on! He squeezed his way through to get at the free samples of meat pie that everyone was grabbing. When he finally got to the front the samples were finished and Bakura announced he wasn't making anymore. Mikey snuck into the kitchen to find more.
"If I were free samples where would I be?" Mikey wondered. He looked right and left. Then he saw it: a giant Whirlpool Fridge. He ran to the extraordinary container and opened it. A gust of chilly air escaped uncovering: chicken livers, chicken heads, beef butt, cow tongues, pig's blood, legs of a pig, boar head, and lard.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mikey screamed. Bakura caught Mikey peeking in.
"NOOOO! My secret is out!" Bakura screamed. He quickly shut the fridge door and glared at Mikey.
"You can NEVER tell anyone about this kid! You hear me?"
"Y…yeah. Except, I want to know something."
"What?"
"What do you use," Mikey cautiously pointed at the fridge, "those for?" Bakura turned pale.
"Promise not to tell anyone?" Mikey nodded in agreement.
"Well, you know the meat I use in those really good meat pies?" Mikey's eyes widened. He remembered when Alister took him here to share one of Bakura's famous mince meat pies. It tasted so good up until today…
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! WE'VE BEEN POISONED! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! THAT'S GROSS! YUCK! I'M NEVER EATING HERE AGAIN!" Mikey wailed running out of the bakery. Bakura slunk down onto the floor.
"There goes my business." He wept. Mikey ran to Tea's Tacos. He hid behind the counter trembling. Tea crouched down to meet the level of Mikey.
"What's wrong kid?"
"Bakura's Bakery uses gross animal parts for their meat pies!" he wailed never looking up. Tea was about to give Bakura a piece of mind, when Mikey continued on.
"If Bakura uses those things in his meat pie, then I don't wanna know what Tea's Tacos uses for their tacos!" Mikey (now laughing) exclaimed. Tea got mad. Real mad. She stood up and frowned down at the 5-year-old. Mikey realized that there were piercing eyes staring down at him. He slowly looked up.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! It's the Taco slut my brother was telling me about! Stay away! Stay away! ALISTER! HELP!" Mikey ran for the door. Tea called out after him, "And don't come back!" Mikey continued on to Joey's Jams and Jerky. He stumbled in and looked around at the western style store. One half one the room had shelves of different flavored jams with flavors that Joey "created." The other half had racks with all kinds of jerky. Joey had beef jerky, pork jerky, chicken jerky, and even if you've never heard of it fish jerky! He had gone the extra mile to increase the jerky and jam industry. Joey noticed a scared little boy walk in.
"YOU'RE MY FIRST CUSTOMER!" Joey happily cried out. Mikey stared at him with disbelief.
"You're kidding right? You're first customer during the second shift? Or…" Joey shook his head,
"You're my first customer EVER! What's your name?"
"M…Mikey?"
"Well Mikey! What are you planning to but today? How bout some of my famous watermelon kiwi jam?"
"How is it famous when you NEVER had any customers?"
"Well my Ma thinks it's great. If you don't want any jams, can I interest you in some goose jerky? It's homemade!"
"You're worse than Bakura! No wonder you have no customers!" and he stormed out. Joey whined, "Come back! I just made a bowl of fresh pomegranate jam!"
Mikey had enough excitement for today. He decided to visit Rafael. Alister never told him about Rafael's store. Every time Mikey brought up the subject of Rafael's store, Alister would change the subject. Well today his brother wasn't here to stop him.
Actually, his brother was at Odion's Odd Moments taking a picture in a dress to complete his part of the deal. Odion said if Alister would let him take a picture, then he'd tell him where Mikey went.
"Why do I have to wear a dress?" Alister groaned. Odion, who was fixing his camera, explained, "Cause you look more like a girl, than you do a boy, Man, if I didn't spy on you in the dressing room, I would have hit on you! Oops, wasn't supposed to say that…" Alister quietly steamed.
"Just get on with the picture already!"
"Okay! Okay!" Odion took a few deep breaths and sat down on the ground. He sat in some yoga positions and then fell asleep. Alister got up to kick him in the…private spot.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW! Whadda ya do that for!"
"Are you going to take the picture or what?"
"Alright!" Odion got into position, looked into the mirror once more to compliment his bald, tattooed head and…SNAP! Alister quickly took off the dress and threw it on the floor. He wore his original set of clothes underneath the dress and was sweating badly.
"Now, where's Mikey?"
"Who?"
"THE KID YOU SAID YOU KNEW ABOUT!"
"Eh, never heard of him. How're you gonna pay for your picture?"
"WHAT! Forget it! I'm not paying for that damn picture! I'm going!"
"It's a nice picture. You know you want it."
"Well…" and Alister fumed out of the store with 4 wallet sized picture of him in a dress replacing his $26.00.
Mikey walked into Rafael's Rums. He saw bottles of whiskey, wine, beer, and Irish rum neatly organized by color. He didn't know what they were though. Alister never explained to him what beer was. Mikey headed for the counter. He saw Rafael drunk on the floor.
"Hey Rafael! I came to visit you!" Rafael woke up. His eyes were unfocused.
"Who are you?"
"It's me! Mikey! You know, Alister's little brother?"
"Oh yea! Madeline! You don't look like a girl!"
"That's because I'm a boy."
"Oh. I know a guy who looks like a girl! Do you know him? His name is Alister."
"Yeah. That's my brother!"
"Then you must be Dorothy! How come you don't look like a girl?"
"Because I'm a boy!"
"I knew that. Hey, have you ever heard of Alister? He's a guy who looks like a girl!" Rafael cracked up. Mikey saw this conversation wasn't getting anywhere. He decided to get to the point.
"Hey Rafael, what do you sell?"
"RUM! Mwahahahahaha…." He took a swig from his 8th bottle. Mikey still didn't know what he sold. Maybe if he tasted it…
"Can I have a sample?" Rafael handed Mikey his bottle. Mikey took it and sniffed it. It smelled nasty.
"Uhhh, on second thought, I think I'll pass." He handed the bottle back to Rafael. Rafael stared at him.
"How old are you?"
"I'm five!" Mikey held up five fingers to prove it. Rafael started getting mad. He stood up and picked up Mikey. They stepped outside the store and Rafael dumped him on the ground.
"No minors allowed!" then he swaggered back in. Mikey felt full from the ice cream and donut he ate before and walked out of the food court.
