Chapter 5; A Slight Bond

The boys, thinking they had the girls beat, ran out to the car.

"Excuse me," said the snobby waiter behind them "But where are you off to?"

"Oh, the females at our table have the bill covered" Race said as they kept walking towards the door.

"You mean these females?" he motioned to the girls who were being restrained by another snooty waiter. They waved at the boys.

"Erm..." said Spot, trying to think fast, but it was too late.

"Let us escort you back to your table..." the waiter said.

"I really don't think that's necessary..." said Mush, trying to make a run for it, but the waiter caught him by the scruff of the neck.

"Now look at this bill...do you have the money?' the waiter asked, showing Jack the bill.

Jack reached in his back pocket to get his wallet, in which he found a mere twenty dollar bill, not even nearly a fraction of the total amount.

"Girls?" Jack asked.

The girls had been sheparded over by the other waiter. Their eyes would not meet the boys.

"Um...no... We don't" said Brittany.

"Well then, I'm sure there are plenty of dirty dishes in the kitchen that need cleaning." The waiter with the girls said.

"Erm..." said Laura, looking to Jacquie.

Jacquie then looked at Kara, who looked at Brittany, who looked at Katie, who looked at Tanya, who looked at Danielle. None of them had any idea what to do. The boys were fuming.

"Fine" spat Blink.

The kids were then lead into the kitchen by the two waiters in silence. The tension could have been cut with a knife.

"This is screwed up" whispered Race to Crutchy.

"Yeah, we were dumb to even think about trusting those girls" whispered Crutchy back.

"This isn't supposed to be what happened" Kara said pissed.

"No, really?" said an annoyed Laura.

"Are we really going to have to do this?" said Brittany, annoyed.

"Looks like it" said Katie as the two waiters pushed open the double doors to the kitchen.

The kitchen was huge and the pile of dishes was massive. The boys glared at the girls. The girls glared back.

"Well, let's go" said Tanya glumly.

The boys angrily rolled up their sleeves while the girls took off their arm and hand jewelry. The boys were grumbling and cursing under there breaths and the girls stayed back a little hoping the boys would do all the work.

"And what the fuck do you think your doing?" Race asked annoyed. "You got us into this mess, you help clean it up"

"Erm...boys listen" Jacquie protested, but was shushed.

"Don't "listen boys" us. Who the fuck do you think you are, doing this kind of shit to us?" Spot said angrily, breaking a dish by accident.

"Well who stole my keys!" shouted Jacquie.

"WHO WAS PLANNING ON LEAVING US WITH A SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL IN THE FIRST PLACE?" yelled Specs.

"Well if you guys didn't expect us to pay the whole bill, you would have brought some money!" shouted Brittany.

"But, do I not recall asking you girls if you were going to pay, and you all nodding yours heads?" asked Crutchy.

"And I do remember someone saying they wouldn't pay anyway!" said Danielle, pointing at Spot.

"Well I wasn't going to lie..."

"So even if we asked you wouldn't have paid!"

"WOULD YOU ALL SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Jack yelled. Everyone stopped and looked at him. "The girls did what they did, and there's nothing we can do about it now, so would you all just get over it and clean these goddamn dishes to we can get the hell out of here?"

There were mumbles of "ok" and "whatever" and "fine" and everyone moved over to the pile of dirty dishes.

Tanya grabbed a stack of dishes and set them besides of the sinks next to Jack. Jack sprayed them with water and handed them to Crutchy, who then passed them to Laura.

Laura looked at them "Why didn't you put soap on it Jack?"

Jack dropped the dish he was spraying in the sink and walked over near Spot.

"Spot, will you soap everything?" he asked.

Spot, grinning evilly, turned around with the spray nozzle and sprayed a gush of water at Jack, who ducked out of the way just in time, and hit Danielle in the face.

"WHAT THE FUCK!" yelled Danielle, as she dropped a dish and it shattered.

Spot and Jack laughed as she stood there, whipping water from her eyes.

"Oh you think this is funny?" she said. She grabbed the dish cleaner near the sink and poured it in Spot's hair.

"Hey!" he yelled. Danielle laughed as Spot grabbed the soap and started to chase her around the kitchen.

"Hey guys... guys..." Brittany said trying to get there attention.

Spot squirted the soap at Danielle, but missed, hitting Brittany's dress instead.

"Oh you little fucker!" said Brittany, grabbing a tray and using at as a shield as she scooped up bubbles and flung them. The bubble's hit the back of Kid Blinks head.

"Excuse me?" he said as he picked her up.

"PUT ME DOWN!" she screeched as she threw more soap at him, but he dodged his head out of the way, and the soap went flying at Jack.

All the other girls stood there trying there hardest to avoid bubbles. But eventually, everyone was caught up in the water/bubble war.

"Ehem" said the waiter an hour later.

Tanya, who was spraying Specs, turned around with the water still on, and accidentally sprayed the waiter square in the face.

"Ehem... yes" he said" well"

"Sorry..." said Tanya sheepishly.

"Apparently you cannot do anything right" the waiter said agitated.

"Hey...that is NOT true" said Jacquie, coming up next to Tanya.

"Let me call the manager" said the waiter and marched off. The kids looked at each other with worried looks.

"Erm..." said Spot.

"We should get back to work" said Kid Blink.

They all looked down shamefully as they cleaned more dishes. There was an awkward silence as they cleaned. Could they have actually had fun? With the people they had hated most?

"Ehem... the manager" said the waiter a few minutes later. A tall man with an unpleasant face walked in.

"Hello" he said agitated.

"Sup" said Spot.

"Spot..." whispered Danielle, poking him.

"Dude, I'm just being friendly" he said, whispering back.

"Well, I've been informed of all that has gone on with you tonight" said the manager.

"And..." said Katie

"...And I'm trying to decide what to do with you"

"Well, you could let us go with a promise to never do it again..." said Race.

The man began to laugh. "Let you go!"

"Yeah, we are only minors" said Crutchy.

"Well, I don't know..." said the man.

"Please?" The man looked over at the girls, who had on their best puppy dog faces, and at the guys, who looked at him hopefully.

"Promise?" he said.

"Cross our hearts!" said Laura, excitedly.

"Erm... "He sighed. "Alright. But if I catch you again, you are going straight to the authorities"

"Thank you!" said Brittany.

The kids rushed passed him and out of the restaurant.

"That was close" said Tanya, looking back.

"Too close" agreed Danielle.

"So, where are you off to?" asked the boys.

"Home "said Jacquie as she grabbed her keys back from Mush, who grinned sheepishly.

"You're giving us rides…right?"

"I suppose so" Brittany said with a grin.

"Thanks a bunch" said Blink.

"Now I think we have things to discuss on the ride home" said Race.

"Such as..." said Katie, as if there was nothing to discuss.

"Such as to you never pulling a little stunt like this again" said Jack.

"Oh come off it, it was funny" said Brittany.

"Seriously, don't do that again" said Spot.

"Fine..." said Laura.

"And I think an apology is in order" said Crutchy. The girls looked around.

"Um..." said Tanya

"Well..." said Jack.

The girls looked around again, and then sighed.

"Were sorry" Brittany mumbled.

"What was that?" asked Specs.

"Sorry" she said, a little louder.

"Can't hear you" said Race.

"SORRY! WE ARE SORRY!"

"That's more like it" said a satisfied Jack.

"Yeah, whatever" whispered Katie.
