...

"Phwoar, get a look at Honey tonight, eh, eh?" Tuff elbowed Jack in the ribs and Jack couldn't help but stare as the nine girls filed in, all clutching tiny handbags, or were they purses? They were all in heels too, apart from Gogo, who, despite being the shortest member of the group, wouldn't wear heels if you paid her a million pounds.

Honey, on the other hand, towered above the others in six inch platforms that Jack couldn't comprehend the appeal of wearing, even though they made her legs look incredible.

All the girls, excluding Gogo, were in short dresses. A full spectrum of colours met Jack's eyes as the group approached the bar.

"Aster!" A flurry of bright red hair flew across the restaurant and collided with Aster.

"Merida, ah- hey girl, haven't seen ya in ages." Aster hugged her back, while at the same time, looking around at the rest of the guys, almost embarrassed. The girls started giggling.

"Yo Jack." Jack turned to be greeted by Gogo throwing her arm around his shoulders, which, considering her height, was no easy feat. "You guys getting drunk without us already?" She suddenly reached across and grabbed his Ringosai and took a gulp. "Oh man, that's good. I'll have one of these please." She waved to the barman who began pouring out another drink for her.

"Lookin' good Gogo, is that a new hair colour?" Tuff had wrapped his arm around Jack as well, catching him in a tight choke hold.

"Yeah actually. Thanks for noticing." Gogo unhooked her arm, and Jack gasped for breath. "Not sure I'm gonna keep this one though. It's a bit too out there, if you get me?"

Jack finally had a chance to actually look at her. In place of the usual streak of bold purple, an electric blue colour faded into a dark violet. It looked amazing.

"No, you shouldn't change it." Jack said. "I like it a lot."

Gogo shrugged but Jack saw her cheeks turn slightly pink as she turned away, taking her drink to the table.

"Oh right, we sitting down now then?" Jack asked, directing the question to Aster mostly. However, he was currently having his face snogged off by the mass of orange curls on top of him.

Jack averted his eyes, and they instead trailed after the rest of the group, who were sitting at the table. It was a weird layout. In the center of the restaurant, there was a giant kitchen space with what looked like giant black hob surfaces lining the counters. The table they were supposed to be sat at surrounded this area in a big square, like a bar all looking in on the food being prepared. This also meant that Jack would need to choose wisely who he sat next to because it didn't look like he'd be able to talk to anyone other than the people a few seats either side of him without shouting across the chefs.

Anna, Kristoff, Rapunzel and Flynn were sat on the far end already. North, Sandy, Merida and Aster were starting to take their seats on the next side of the square. Elsa, Tooth and Honey went and sat opposite.

"Hey Jack, sit next to me?" Ruff suddenly sidled up beside Jack, putting on a deep, husky voice and leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Woah woah woah, bros before hoes, dude!" Tuff shoved Ruff away from Jack and she collided with the converse waiter. Luckily, he was only holding a stack of menus, which he caught easily. Somehow, he kept a smile on his face anyway.

"Screw you Tuff, I'm just tryna' be nice."

"Go be nice to someone else then."

"Like who? The waiter?"

"Yeah whatever, go do your dumb girly frolicking with him."

"Fine!" Ruff yelled and quickly, she grabbed the waiter by the collar and planted a hard kiss on his lips. This time, he did drop the menus. The whole stack clattered to the floor, causing the entire restaurant to look up.

Tuff was howling with laughter. The waiter's eyes were blown wide in shock. And honestly, Jack felt for the guy. He wasn't used to Ruff and Tuff's eccentric personalities and it took new people weeks, if not months to get to grips with them usually. This guys, what did his name badge say- Tadashi? had been thrown in head first, or should that be tongue first?

"Yeah alright sis, pretty sure he's gonna puke if you don't let go." Tuff dragged his twin away from Tadashi, who was frozen in place, looking completely shellshocked.

Ruff winked at him before flouncing away to sit next to Honey. They immediately began gossiping and laughing.

"Sorry about that, man." Jack picked up the fallen menus and restacked them again before balancing them in Tadashi's still outstretched arms. "That's pretty normal behaviour for Ruff."

"Yeah, she's a total Nutcase!" Tuff cackled, laughing at his own pun.

Tadashi shook himself off after a few seconds and then began handing out the menus to the rest of the party, being sure to give Ruff's to Honey and stepping widely around her as if terrified she might pounce again.

In the end, Jack sat in between Tuff and Gogo, with Astrid on the other side of her. He noticed as he looked around the table that everyone else had a Ringosai to drink. Trendsetter Jack, he thought as he skimmed across the starter menu.

"What're you guys having?" Astrid asked the row. "I mean, are we doing starters or...?"

"Yeah sure, why not." Gogo smiled. "Everyone cool to have starters?" She raised her voice, addressing the entire table, who all nodded and cheered back.

"I can't even pronounce most of these." Jack muttered. "Tori Karaage sounds alright though."

"I'm gonna go for the Yakitori." Astrid announced. Jack looked back to the menu and found it. Yep, as he thought. The most expensive starter on the menu… Astrid was loaded though, so he wasn't surprised. He was surprised however when pretty much everyone else also ordered it. Every but Tuff, who ordered the Ika Karaage.

"What's that?" Jack asked once Tadashi had disappeared back into the kitchen with their orders.

"Squid, crispy fried squid served with fresh chilli and lime." There was a pause. "I'm gonna hide it in Ruff's hair when she's not looking." Tuff grinned.

"You're unbelievable." Gogo sighed.

At the same time as the starters, they'd had to order their mains. Jack had, despite his teasing Aster earlier, gone for the Kamo Charcoal Grill, which was apparently duck breast with sticky rice and vegetables.

Jack didn't fancy sushi. Plus, he wanted to watch his food being made on the grill in front of him. He thought that'd be pretty cool.

Jack spent the next ten minutes avoiding Aster, who was trying to catch his eye.

"Astrid, you look amazing." Jack only just noticed her dress. It was a dark burgundy red with silver studded detail on the shoulders and waist. Her hair was in it's signature side plait but her face was a lot more made up than usual. She looked stunning.

"Aw thanks Jack, slightly overdressed though." She glanced down to my clothes.

"Hey, I thought this was pretty smart until you all waltzed in ready for the grand ball."

"Yeah well, it's Elsa's birthday next week so we're going out after this." Astrid explained.

"Where?" Tuff butted in.

"That new place that just opened upstairs in the Sovereign, Vision I think it's called? Apparently it's really good in there and since it's just opened, they're letting anybody in and there's no queue."

The Sovereign was the local pub that the group usually hung out in. Jack had no idea they were putting a club above it…

"You could come too, y'know, if you wanted to." Astrid blushed and then said quickly, "Y'know, if all you guys wanted to come party too…"

Jack smiled.

"Yeah sure, sounds fun."

At that exact moment, a massive burst of fire suddenly erupted right in front of Jack's face. He jumped and shielded his face before he realised the flames were coming from the grill and there was a glass screen protecting him from it. The heat was incredible though.

The chef grinned at them all as they gawked in fascination at the flames. He was adding more oil to the meat he was frying, flipping and tossing it about with a spatula. It looked good.

The chef suddenly hit a bell which rang a lot louder than Jack expected it to and shouted something over his shoulder in Japanese. A few moments later, a door to the left of them opened and a person wandered in, a large tupperware box in their arms. The person dumped it onto an island counter behind the chef and opened it. Jack saw it was filled with vegetables, all green and glistening from being freshly rinsed.

Then the person turned around.

It was a boy, not much older or younger than Jack himself, by the looks of it. He was wearing a green plaid shirt with a dirty white apron on top and blue latex gloves. They were wet. Jack supposed he'd just finished washing the vegetables himself.

What stood out most to Jack though, was the boys face. Tanned, freckled and set in a bored permanently expression. A grey beanie covered his hair, but Jack could see it was reddish-brown from the thick curls escaping the sides and back.

The whole time the boy moved around the kitchen, using tongs to dump piles of the vegetables on each of the grills, Jack watched in fascination. He had no idea why this guy was so interesting to him.

Maybe it was the earbuds.

...

I actually had to do a lot of research for this chapter. Those dishes are actually based on what I had and what all my friends had when we went out. And Ringosai is Japanese for Apple Festival, which I think is a cool name for a drink...

Also, well done to all of you who guessed the waiter was Tadashi. I felt sorry for him in this chapter, for sure...
