Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been busy. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
See chapter 1 for the disclaimer.
Goofy was stressed. There was no way around it, the penguins seemed to e having a bad day, Max had complained of a headache earlier and Goofy was convinced it was flu, Gus had eaten all the food and to top it off he now had Pete coming towards him going.
"Hey, Goofy! How ya doin'?"
"I'm doing good thanks, Pete." Goofy replied good-naturedly, doing his best to appear cheerful. Mickey, who was standing in the doorway, frowned a little, after being friends with the Goof since college he knew Goofy wasn't as 'good' as he appeared to be. Pete however having not had that privilege, hadn't a clue.
"Fantastic. So…not long 'till the tea-time rush, eh?"
"No…" Goofy replied, uncertainly wondering where Pete was heading with this.
He found out soon enough. "Well then that's great. Still enough time to fix your mistakes!"
Goofys eyebrows went up in shock. "Mistakes?" What mistakes was the cat on about? He quickly scanned around the room, no, no mistakes.
Apparently Pete disagreed. "Yeah, for one thing what is an empty plate doing here?" He went over to a nearby table and picked up the offending plate. "What are you doing serving an empty plate? And who's that table for?" Pete abruptly turned to another table, which was pretty bare.
"For Snow White." Goofy curtly replied, not liking the way he was being spoken to.
"What!? But…you can't…she's a princess!"
Oh really? I thought she was a janitor. Goofy sarcastically thought. Of course he knew Snow White was a princess, she was one of the first princesses ever, everyone knew her story, did Pete think he'd been living in a hole for the last 80 years?
"Yes, I know, so what's wrong with it?" He said, instead.
"What's wrong with it? Everything! What's happened to the flowers? There are always flowers in the centre of the princess's tables. And why are there only one set of knife and forks per seat? Everyone knows you give princesses the full amount and why are there cushions on seven of the seats? And one on the table?" As Pete wittered on, Goofy turned and looked incredulously at Mickey who shrugged and mouthed 'go with it' to him.
Goofy nodded, he wasn't sure what was going on, but if Mickey was okay with it then so was he.
"Change the table to the same as the other princesses and tell me why is there no food on this plate?"
"Because it's a pizza with no base, no crust, no cheese, no sauce and no toppings." Goofy recited.
Pete looked at him as if he were mad. "No base, no cheese, no sauce and no toppings?" He repeated slowly. "Who...the…hell…would be mad enough to order that? Get another pizza!"
"Right away…sir." Goofy muttered, silently wishing he could come up with a way to make Pete regret the way he spoke to him. He may be a goof, but he wasn't an idiot!
"And don't forget to tell them it was all my idea!" He heard the cat holler after him.
Meanwhile Mickey gave a grin, this would be good.
