| The Senshi Visit Burger King One day at a quiet Burger King, the lazy employees were seeing how long they could cook a whopper before it disintigrated. Suddenly the doors swung open and in marched eleven people, most of them teenage girls. The exceptions were a guy with a look that said 'I am totally whipped' that otherwise seemed to have stepped right out of GQ, and a a ten-year-old female with pink hair and three cats on her head and shoulders. "Hey!" The manager, a buxom black woman shouted."No pets!" Much to her surprise, the three cats let out a simultaneous shout of: "Civil rights! Civil rights!" She was so surprised that when the three jumped down and sashayed their way into the dining area she didn't even complain. Usagi walked up to the cashier first, and the other senshi formed a line behind her. Other customers had fled the restaraunt at the first site of adolescents. "I want..." began Usagi, "Twelve broiled whoppers, eleven five-piece tenders, ten chocolate milkshakes, nine big king size fries, eight chicken sandwiches, seven apple pies, six jalapeno poppers, five fish sandwiches, four extra large cokes, three hershey chocolate pies, two hot coffees, and the parts to a Mustang GT." The cashier blinked twice then mumbled politely "I'm sorry, could you please repeat your order?" After Usagi repeated it twice with long pauses in between, it was Ami's turn. She decided to look intellectual and just ordered a milkshake -vanilla, because she was her usual boring self. Then it was Rei's turn. She ordered an XL deluxe and a large coke, since she could tease Usagi twenty pounds later aboout how glad she was to have had a small order. Next was Makoto, but she forgot what she wanted because the guy looked just like senpai. Minako noticed what was going on and helped out. "Isn't she pretty?" Minako demanded of him, eager to hook her friend up with somebody. She shoved Makoto over so that the low-cut chestline of her dress was squashed against the counter. "Help me out here, Mako-chan! Flip your hair and flutter your eyelashes!" After following Minako's orders, Mako ordered a strawberry milkshake and told the cashier to visit her when he was on his break. Minako's order was strikingly reminiscent of Usagi's. Then Haruka and Michiru asked for seventeen chocolate shakes and ran off to the bathroom together. "Um," mumbled the cashier-guy," is all this together?" "Of course," replied Mamoru, who hadn't heard what everyone had ordered because he was being glomped by Usagi. Setsuna walked up and started debating how much of Mamoru's money it would be polite to spend. She settled on a large fry. Then Hotaru walked up and started reciting the evils of fast food before another order reminiscent of Usagi's. It was Chibiusa's turn next, and she demanded three shakes of each flavor, twleve of each kind of pie, a whopper junior, and an eight-piece nugget for the cats. "Do you have anything pink?" she asked. "Well," he replied,"we could undercook your burger..." Then Mamoru walked up, last in line, and requested a chicken sandwich value meal. "Okay," the behind-the-counter-guy said at length, "(wow, didn't know the register had that many digits!) your total comes to $179.82." Mamoru fell over. "See?" said Hotaru."I told you fast food wasn't good for you!" Mamoru quickly stood up and said "Just as I suspected. Usako eats a lot..." He handed over the cash. "Your order will be ready in a couple of hours..." Mamoru nodded. As they waited, Usagi and the Inners demanded Makoto for all the details of her "relationship" with the senpai-lookalike. Mako proved very inventive. Chibiusa was chasing the cats around the dining room, Setsuna and Hotaru were discussing quantum physics, and Haruka and Michiru were still in the bathroom. Every so often there would be a yell and the restaurant would vibrate. At one point, ocean water poured out from under the door and one of the bewildered employees had to mop it up after staring at it for a while in disbelief. Mamoru was putting roses on all the tables to make them pretty. Needless to say, the unfortunate employees were annoyed and took their time adding lots of extra, all-natural ingredients to the senshi's hefty orders. The food was ready several hours later. By then they were all very hungry, but Rei had a complaint. "This burger isn't cooked well enough! FIRE SOUL!!!" After attacking it, Rei was satisfied with her food. A noisy snarf-fest ensued; except for Mako, who insisted on drinking her milkshake very seductively, twirling her hair and batting her eyes. Eventually Haruka and Michiru came out of the bathroom to get their shakes, then returned from whence they came with their arms full of milkshakes, giggling and blushing. Ami knew that disgruntled fast-food employees tend to do some nasty things to customers' food, but she decided not to say anything to the other senshi. They always took advantage of her genius, anyway. Finally they all finished and prepared to leave, but their trash exceded the combined amount the garbage cans were designed to hold. Mamoru wound up tipping the workers with the remainder of his $200, since the senshi had put them through a fast food employee's hell. Then the senshi left and squeezed their way into Mamoru's car. As Mamoru stepped out the door, the workers locked it behind him. As the senshi rode along, now miles away from the Burger King, the main conversation topic was that cashier had come to see Mako while they were there. Minako gloated about how Makoto "owed her one". Then Hotaru suddenly piped up "Hey...where're Haruka and Michiru?" |
