Chapter Four: Suited For A Suit And A Seat
The immediate second Waluigi walked through those doors, his senses were ambushed. The warmth of the establishment pleasantly enveloped him as the frigid outside was put behind him. The smells of the food assaulted him with heavenly scents of pasta, bread, and other delicious carbs. The lighting was atmospheric; it was warm and well lit. The troubles Waluigi had in the parking lot had seemed to melt away as he took in the sights.
"What is this dump?" Wario quickly snapped Waluigi out of his daze. "It looks kinda lame."
"Wario, really?" Waluigi sighed. "Just give it a chance and remember you don't have to pay if it's under thirty."
"Oh ya free stuff." Wario perked up, then proceeded to cup his hands over his mouth. "AY WAITER! GIVE US SEAT!"
His nonsensical yell made Waluigi groan, but it did make the waiter come over and get the two settled at a booth. Two menus were given, and the drink order was put in. Waluigi got water, while Wario got Diet Coke.
Smooth jazz played lightly over the intercom speakers. All and all, Waluigi found himself liking the establishment more than he anticipated. Now that the two were in proper lighting. Waluigi noticed Wario's outfit.
He was wearing the opposite of formal wear. He had a t-shirt that had the graphic of a tuxedo plastered on it, regular pants, and his everyday green pointed shoes. There was what appeared to be a bowtie over his neck, but on closer inspection, it was just tinfoil painted black in the shape of a bow tie.
"Wario, really? I thought you were going to dress up!"
"Turned out I didn't have anything else clean." Wario said nonchalantly as he licked the menu. "It is what it is."
"Wario!" Waluigi slammed his hands on the table. "You should care about things more! And what in God's name are you doing licking that menu!"
"Helps me decide what to order."
Another sigh escaped Waluigi's mouth. Wario really did make things difficult didn't he? He decided to distract himself and look at the menu. His eyes scanned over the various foods listed. There were so many options to choose from! In his mind he thought over what he was craving the most and what looked the best. All the while he kept the price in the back of his head.
Just then, a waiter walked by. Wario perked up, got out of his seat and walked up to him. With a swift motion, Wario ripped the bowtie off the waiter.
"Thanks." He said as he placed the bow onto his own neck.
The waiter gave a shocked look, took a moment to look at who he was dealing with, and decided it was best not to argue. The worker carried on with his work while Waluigi watched Wario squeeze back into the booth.
"What the hell, Wario?"
"Don't I look fancy?" He responded, giving a grand hand gesture towards his newly acquired accessory.
"Well, uh," Waluigi stammered, "Why on earth did you do that?"
"I needed it more than him." Wario said flatly. "Plus I think I pull it off better than that chump."
Waluigi appreciated the fact that Wario did seem to care about tonight, in his own weird way. He just hoped that he wouldn't steal anything else tonight.
