AN: This one I got when I suddenly was watching an episode of Mr. Bean Animated…surprise surprise.

Mystique Sonia wiped her brow as she entered the kitchen, carrying the pad where she wrote all the orders. "God, I hate the Mad Rush."

"You think you're the only one?!" Mighty Ray shrieked from where he was at the stoves, struggling to keep up with the orders. Jumpy walked by, nodding as he stumbled, struggling to get all the plate into the sink.

Sonia sighed, grabbing the dish and heading back out again. Lin Chung entered, nearly bumping into Jumpy, before he went over to the stove, grabbed a bowl, and dumped some soup into it. He then exited, carrying it to a table before returning.

"Don't worry. After this, we get a break for a week, no?"

"I still hate it!" Mighty Ray fumed, now trying to get the cake out before it burnt. "Why did we agree to this? Working overtime?"

"Because we get more pay for overtime, and we also get a one week break! That's more than Apetrully ever gives us, banana brain!" Mystique Sonia had returned.

"And you'll be doing the opposite when Apetrully finds out that you've been talking instead of working!" NoHands, the manager of the restaurant, burst in, looking at them expectantly.

Immediately, all of them rushed back to their jobs.

"Oi, Jumpy! A little help here?!" Mighty Ray shouted at the younger member. Jumpy sighed and walked over. Mystique Sonia sighed, grabbing some more dishes and miraculously balancing them while she walked out, closely followed by Lin Chung.

The ring of the bell above had Jumpy and Mighty Ray groaning, even as both waiter and waitress rushed in, looking exhausted as they grabbed yet another few dishes, and added some more dirty ones to the ever growing pile of dishes.

When they rushed back in again, Sonia looked around. "I hate mad rushes. Where's NoHands?"

"Hm?" Mighty Ray looked up. "Didn't even notice he left. Ha! I should be made manager."

"Dream on, banana breath!" Sonia snapped at him, before groaning as she looked at the pile of dishes. "Great."

Lin sighed. "Clean it. I'll go." He grabbed another few dishes, and, gracefully dodging Jumpy, headed back out again.

"YES!" Mighty Ray sighed, sitting down on a stool and wiping his brow. "That was terrible. Worse I'd ever seen."

"Yeah," Mystique Sonia agreed. "Why were there so many?"

Lin Chung sighed. "There was a new cinema across, and it's Christmas, remember? Many people would want to go out, but many restaurants would be closed. Apetrully opened the shop to make extra cash."

"At least it means we get a bigger pay." Mighty Ray sighed. Jumpy nodded in agreement. Sonia sighed.

"Once we get these clean, we're free for the holidays."

Mighty Ray looked up. "And where were the losers?"

Lin Chung was either too tired to notice, or just too tired to point it out, but he answered anyway. "They got off earlier. But it means that Apetrully subtracted some money of their own pay."

NoHands appeared, took one look at the tired employees, and made a split second decision. "All of you, go home. I'll clean these."

It was in these rare moments that he revealed his softer side.

Before he could blink clearly, all of them had left, with Sonia returning briefly to grab her phone from the side table. "Bye, Nohands!"
