The next day was hell for me. I kept thinking that every time the door would open it would be the Tallests and I would be taken away, but that's not what was wrong. I kept HOPING it was them, that they would just walk through the door and take me into their arms. I had a new need for their ruff touches, their warm skin, their sweet kisses flavored with heat; Purple's teasing claws playing over my flesh as his hot breath mists up my antennas, Red's aggression and tendency to bite as soon as kiss when he brings me to the very edge of paradise.
I felt my skin darken as those thoughts played in my mind. I could just see their smirks as they watched me get brought to the edge of sanity with their claws.
No. No, Siz smile and act like nothing's wrong. Just take the customer's order and pretend that you aren't a runaway sex toy of the Tallests. I smiled at the mirror in front of me and practiced my "Hello-order-some-food-and-tip-well!" smile. It was a little rusty but the point still got across.
I straightened my hat and tied my apron on a little tighter. I adjusted my goggles and took a deep breath. I'll do fine. I just have to wait until the chemicals were-off then I can go back and continue my work, but until then I will help Sizz-lorr.
I walked into the main restaurant and quickly manned the cash register, saving Skoodge and letting him take the kitchen. I began the ritual of taking orders, "Hello! What would you like to order?"
The thing behind the counter ordered a large amount of food so slow that I thought it was retarded, but I kept smiling as the blob thing ordered and then I wished it farewell as it got its food. I breathed out a sigh and then faced my next customer, a vork I think, when he/she was pushed out of the way and an Irken soldier got in my face.
He was a good 6' inches taller than me and his eyes were a startling green. He nearly climbed over the counter as he yelled an order out at me, "Food drone! I am on a missio0n from the Tallests!" at this point I am wondering if I can stun him with the gun under my apron and run like hell, but it turns out that I didn't need to.
"I have been sent for DOUGHNUTS!" he yelled then stepped back, his mission purpose given. I was in shock for a second then I yelled back at Skoodge, "Two extra large orders of doughnuts."
A few minutes' later two huge bags of doughnuts were shoved through the order window and I barely caught them I staggered to the soldier. "H-here you go." I said as I deposited the bags onto the counter. I saw him look at me for a few seconds and then he proclaimed, "Food drone you shall carry the doughnuts to the Tallests while I lead you so come on." He then turned around and began to walk away. I stared at him for a second then picked up the bags.
I was only doing this because it would cause trouble if I didn't right? It's not because I want to see Red and Purple right? No, definitely not.
I didn't even believe my own thoughts as I stumbled behind the soldier, with the giant bags in my hands. Well, it couldn't hurt to see them right? It's only a problem if they see me. I just have to not be seen.
That thought made me more confident and I hurried up to ketchup with the soldier, but looking back that was one of the dumbest things I could have done if I didn't want to be caught. Only being second to dipping myself in chocolate and laying naked on a table covered in strawberries in front of Red and Purple, and even that might have been smarter. Then they wouldn't have gotten riled up by the chase.
