Lobster, Anyone?
"Lucy, I was thinking that we could get a bite to eat first," Kouta said suddenly.
"Good idea," Lucy commented. "I'm STARVED! How about that great seafood restaurant, Café Tokyo, just by the beach?"
" Perfect!" Kouta replies ecstatically.
As the couple walked on to the beach, Yuka was right behind them in the bushes.
"Café Tokyo, huh?" Yuka said as she listened to their conversation. "I'll get to the restaurant before they do."
Yuka quickly ran off into the trees and away from the couple to overtake them to the restaurant. Maya and Nana, who are also close by in the trees, quickly run after her.
"She… huff…runs…puff…so…huff…puff…fast!" Nana complained.
"Doesn't matter to me!" Maya said triumphantly. "I won first place in the track meet at school before I ran away!"
"Well…it matters to me!" Nana retorted angrily.
"Aughhhh!" Kouta yelled.
"Kouta, what's wrong?" Lucy inquired.
"Oh, it's nothing," he said. "I just felt a shiver up my spine."
At Café Tokyo
Yuka hid patiently in the bushes for Lucy and Kouta to arrive. A malicious grin appeared on her face when Kouta and Lucy arrived at the restaurant's entrance. Nana and Maya were nearby and ready.
"This way to your table," the hostess said to the couple.
Lucy and Kouta followed the hostess to an outdoor table overlooking the sea.
"Please enjoy your meal," the hostess said graciously as she left.
"Wow, it's five o'clock, and the sun is not even close to setting," Kouta commented
"I need to let my hair loose, so can you put this scrunchie in your bag, Kouta?"
"Hand it to me," Kouta replied. Lucy gives it to him, and he stuffs the scrunchie in a pocket.
"So…what are you planning on having?" Kouta asked.
"Hmmmmm…I think I'll try having lobster," Lucy decided.
"Lobster, ehhh," Yuka said to herself. "Then I know just how to fix you, Lucy my dear."
Yuka suddenly scurried off to an unknown place. Meanwhile, Nana and Maya were watching with worried minds.
"Oh no! What's she up to?" Nana squealed.
"I don't know, Nana, but whatever happens, we can't let Yuka win."
20 minutes later:
"For the mademoiselle, a lobster specialty," the waiter said energetically.
"Ohhhhh, I can't wait!" Lucy squealed.
The waiter left, and Lucy took the silver top off of her plate, revealing a live lobster! The lobster crawled towards Lucy's hand and grabbed her thumb with one of it's pincers.
"Eeeeeeek!" Lucy screamed in horror. She was so shocked that she completely forgot about using her vectors. She shook her arm, desperately trying to get the lobster off. The lobster grabbed her hair with its other pincer, adding more terror to the situation. Kouta frantically tried to help her and call for help, and a crowd on customers circled around the couple. The waiters were not able to get through.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a young, blonde girl in overalls and glasses ran toward the couple. She placed a firm grip on the lobster and as if by magic, the lobster's pincers snapped off. The crowd was in awe.
"That was close," Lucy said in exasperation.
"Are you alright," the mystery girl asked.
"Yes, thanks to you." Lucy commented.
"What's your name?" Kouta asked.
The girl suddenly panicked.
"Uhhhhhh….gotta go! Bye!" she exclaimed. And with that she was gone.
The waiter appeared suddenly, racing to the couple's aid.
"Humph! Now that pathetic man shows up," Lucy thought to herself.
Yuka, who was now stationed at a nearby tree, was furious.
"Darn it!" Yuka thought to herself. "Thanks to that dumb blonde, my plan was ruined! Well, I'll have another opportunity, eventually."
The blonde girl ran up to a nearby bush, where Maya was hiding.
"Well, that was a close one!" Maya whispered to the girl.
The girl took off her wig and glasses, revealing Nana's face.
"Boy does Yuka have a twisted personality!" Nana whispered back.
"Get used to it," Maya said. "This date is far from over!"
