When everyone got their tables, they looked at the menu to see some good food. Rebecca said, "Those chicken chalupa supremes look good." Mojo said, "We could have those as the main course and split some nachos with cheese as the appetizer."
Presently a waiter comes by to take everyone's orders. After Rebecca and Mojo have made their order, Deanna and Ace order a taco pizza to share, April and Snake order two enchilada dinners with extra cheese, the professor orders the beef enchilada dinner and the girls each order cheese quesadillas, and Arturo, Billy and Grubber all order taco platters with a side of spicy nachos.
The waiter leaves for a bit, then brings everyone their orders, which everyone happily eats. "Mmm," Mojo says blissfully through a bite of chalupa. "These are quite delicious. The spices very much compliment the chicken and cheese."
"I quite agree." Rebecca happily replies through a bite.
"Mmm," Ace muses contentedly as he happily eats a slice of pizza. "This is sure real good-like. The chef sure makes a good presentation."
"Ooh, this es muy delicioso!" Arturo happily notes as he cheerfully munches a taco.
From a stage at the back of the dining room, a singer clad in a black silk tuxedo sings a lovely song that lilts through the air as a band accompanies him:
Tell me when will you be mine,
Tell me quando, quando, quaaaaandooo,
We can share a love divine,
Please don't make me wait again,
When will you say yes to me?
Tell me quando, quando, quaaaaandooo,
You mean happiness to me,
Oh my love, please tell me when,
Every moment's a day,
Every day seems a lifetime,
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare,
I can't wait a moment more,
Tell me quando, quando, quaaaaandooo,
Say it's me that you adore,
And then, Darling, tell me when,
Every moment's a day,
Every day seems a lifetime,
Let me show you the way
To a joy beyond compare,
I can't wait a moment more,
Tell me quando, quando, quaaaaandooo,
Say it's me that you adore,
And then, Darling, tell me when,
Oh, my darling, tell me when...
Mmm, my darling, tell me when...
When!
The couples all lovingly hold hands with each other. "Ohh, isn't this lovely, Mojo?" Rebecca coos. "Quite indeed, my love." he replies.
From beneath the table Arturo, Billy and Grubber are sharing, Pedro gives a small bray. Arturo quickly hushes him, "Hush, Pedro. We cannot let the restaurant owner know that we have brought a burro in here." He then quickly grabs a handful of nachos from off of his plate and hands it underneath the table, upon which Pedro happily eats the chips.
Just then, an announcer walks up onto the stage. "Senors y senoritas, the Café Buena is proud to present for your listening pleasure the music stylings of the lovely Senorita Dagmar!" Upon these words, Dagmar struts onto the stage, holding a fancy paper fan in her right hand. Arturo's eyes grow wide and he begins shaking more than a bobblehead on a car dashboard. "I-I-I-it's her!" he urgently whispers to Billy. "It's Dagmar! The banditos must be here!"
Noticing Arturo's apprehensiveness, Rebecca and Mojo share concerned looks, then glance toward the stage and share an audible gasp. Rebecca whispered, "We better get out of here. If she sees us with Arturo, we're cooked."
Mojo hissed, "Right. But let's just pretend that we don't know her and keep an eye out for any of the bandits, which is to say that we shouldn't get worked up and keep our heads as we look out, observe, and detect any of the bandits that are with Dagmar."
Upon spying Arturo in the dining room, Dagmar's eyes narrow. "It's that little green twerp from earlier! I'd better tell Harry and Marie!...but in the mean time, I'd better keep up this façade." She then begins to dance back and forth slowly and sing her song:
"Whatever Dagmar wants,
Dagmar gets,
And little man, little Dagmar wants you,
Make up your mind to have
No regrets,
Recline yourself, resign yourself, you're through!
I always get
What I aim for,
And your heart and soul
Is what I came for!
Whatever Dagmar wants,
Dagmar gets,
Take off your coat, Don't you know that you can't win?
You're no exception to the rule,
I'm irresistible, you fool,
Give in.
Whatever Dagmar wants...
Dagmar gets!
I always get
What I aim for,
And your heart and soul
Is what I came for!
Whatever Dagmar wants,
Dagmar gets,
Take off your coat, Don't you know that you can't win?
You're no exception to the rule,
I'm irresistible, you fool,
Give in...
Give in...
Giiiiive iiiiiiin!"
As Dagmar sings, a frightened Arturo quickly scurries behind a nearby curtain. Rebecca and Mojo quietly traipse up to him, with Pedro following close behind. "Please, don't be afraid," Rebecca whispers consolingly. "We won't let the bad guys get you."
"Indeed," Mojo agrees. "We shall capture, apprehend, and bring these bullies to justice quite swiftly." Pedro, who's traipsed up next to Arturo, gives a friendly, "Hee-haw."
"See?" Rebecca says. "Pedro's on your side, too."
Arturo is still a little scared, but slowly tiptoes out from behind the curtain. "You make me feel muy mucho better, but how es we going to catch them?" A determined look crosses Rebecca's face. "We'll have to set a trap for them."
"Quite indeed." Mojo agrees, also looking determined.
Just then, the four of them hear footsteps and turn to see three shadowy figures traipsing toward the back door. The four took cover behind some set pieces for the stage and watched the figures head out of the back door. Mojo whispers, "We should follow them and see where they strike, then come up with a way to trap them."
"Good idea." Rebecca and Arturo reply; Pedro even gives an obliging bray.
The four of them quickly hurry outside, but unfortunately, the thieves have already left. "Oh dear," notes a concerned Rebecca. "They seem to have escaped."
"Don't worry, my sweet," replies a determined Mojo. "I'm sure we'll find them soon."
