As soon as Tucker had his shoes on, he realized that his mommy didn't look like she was going on a date, the way that Sarah did. He told him mommy to go change, he even went as far as picking out the outfit. The first outfit he pulled out of her closet was her prom dress. She looked at the dress, and explained to him. "Tuck that dress is for if me and Eli go some place fancy, can you bring me a nice top instead, and my black jeans.? Those clothes make me feel comfortable," she added, "I promise you that when me and Eli go out to a nice fancy restaurant you will see me wearing this dress right here. Now let me that a quick shower and then well be ready to go. Go watch Wonder Pets with Eli."
"Okay mommy. Here is the purple shirt you like and your black jeans." As Miranda stepped into the shower she was surprised to hear Eli singing along with Tucker to the Wonder Pets songs. She was ready to go in 15 minutes, and she was surprised to be treated like a lady, by both of her guys. Tuck opened up the driver side door for her, while Eli opened the front one, to escort them to the car. She was feeling something about this adventure to the Luna Park Café, but she knew they needed to stop by an ATM Machine before arriving because of the last visits there. Her little man, had a reputation to uphold, he considered himself to be the honorary song player every time they went in there. It was almost like he was a little DJ, except for the fact he didn't know how to spin the records. The owner even had a nickname for him, and as she thought of that, she knew they needed to know who was about to arrive in about 20minutes.
"Eli can you call ahead for us please? Tell them that Little Will is on his way, we are about 20 minutes away."
"Yes I will call them, do you have the number?"
"Yeah its in my phone."
"Okay thanks." Eli said as he scrolled down the list of names in her contact list. He saw the one that was labeled Luna, and hit send.
"Hello Luna Park Café. Is this delivery or take-out?" came the voice on the other end.
"No we will be eating in, however I am supposed to tell you that Little Will is on his way. We will be there in about 15 minutes."
"Little Will is on his way, okay I will give this message to my boss, have a nice day." the voice said before hanging up. He walked over to the owner and handed him the message.
"Excuse me sir, I was told that a Little Will was on his way here, and that he was 15 minutes away."
The boss chuckled at the look on the new kids face, and then walked out of his office. The kid followed behind still wondering who this Little Will was. The boss walked up to the jukebox and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"Hello everyone, I will only be here for a few minutes, I have an announcement to make. As you all know we are a family restaurant and we treat all of our customers like we do family. There is one little boy who feels like he's at his second home when he's here. We like to call one of our favorite customers Little Will because well that's his name. The first few times he was here, he fell in love with this box right here. I mean what child doesn't right?" he said chuckling. "Well when he finally figured out how to work it by himself it was never ending. Before he arrives please take a look at the notebooks that the wait staff is passing out to your tables, write down the song album number, and then the song number. This little man will do the rest. His mom provides the quarters for the songs that he puts in, so if you feel obligated to leave something extra for her, place that money under the pepper shaker, and we will get it to her before they leave. Thank you all very much, and enjoy the rest of your day."
"Excuse me, sir how old is Little Will?" the new employee asked curiously, as the waiters where placing binders on the tables.
"He is almost 4. He learned how this worked about 2 yrs ago, and he at first got mad when people were doing there own songs, by themselves that is. His mom and I came up with the compromise because she's a general surgeon at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital and she was tired, he was throwing a fit every time someone walked up to it. She made up the first binder, and we went on from there. Wait until you see him in action. It was the wait staff who came up with the extra money under the pepper shakers, once someone from a big party had left a note with it. Well when the waitress saw the money on the table she wondered why it was there since they paid with a VISA, that included her tip. We called the card holder, and he told us that the money was for the mother of the little boy." the owner chuckled as he remembered Miranda's expression when he said her meal was paid for and then handed her the change. He didn't have to reminisce long, because he spotted her car pulling in the parking lot.
"Miranda can you please explain why I had to call ahead and why we stopped at the bank for the second time this evening? I am going to be paying for dinner, since this is kind of like a date, and my dates don't pay for there food." Eli stated.
"If Tuck sees people putting the money into the jukebox by themselves he gets upset, he believes that its his job to play everyone's music. So to compromise Little Will gets lists from the tables and then gets the "music money" from me, and then plays them there music. So anytime we are on our way here I call ahead and the notebooks are passed out and the manager explains why. You will see how happy he gets and it will be worth it." she said with a smile on her face.
