Disaster in the diner

“…And if there’s any trouble, don’t hesitate to call me, okay?” Spoke a worried aunt Gabriella to her niece Fiona.

“Don’t worry. Me and the girls have everything under control. Just enjoy your day off.” Reassured Fiona. Making a deep sigh, Gabriella nodded and drove away from the diner.

“Are you sure we do?” Spoke her friend Claire. “When we agreed to help your aunt’s diner, I believed it was under her supervision. I not sure we can do this.”

“C’mon, Claire!” Said Lara. “I’m sure nothing major is gonna happen. And if it does, we can handle it. Besides, all we have to do is wait for that waiter Toby to get the orders-“

“The one Tara has totally been drooling over since she first saw him.” Jested Fiona.

“…And then we cook it. And I know you can cook.”

“Please, it’s not that good.”

As the three entered the kitchen of the roadside diner, they were appalled by the sight of it.

Black mold on the walls.

Grease on the appliances.

And there was something growing in the corner of the room.

“Oh my God!” Said Lara in shock and disgust. “You said your aunt’s diner was a little messy, but this?!”

“Yeah, playing open cards; Aunt Gabriella intentionally hid the kitchen of the diner because she’s a little embarrassed because of it.” Fiona awkwardly laughed.

“I guess we better clean up some of this mess before we open up.” Spoke Claire, as she got to the washing station. As she tried to turn on the water, nothing came out. “Hey, Fiona, the sink doesn’t work.

As Lara and Fiona got closer they inspected the sink hose and pulled it closer. Suddenly, a powerful stream came out, drenching the three of them.

“Aaaahhhhm Gaaaahd!” Sputtered Fiona. “Tuuurrrngggg thhaaatthhh thingggggggh affff!”

“Ahmmm tryinghn! Ahmmm tryyinggg.” Cried Claire.

It took two full minutes till the sink hose stopped. The floor was completely soaked, as were the girls and their clothes.

“Well, off to a good start.” Snarked Lara. “Now what?”

“I might know of a place where our clothes would dry really fast,” said Fiona shyly, “but it would kinda mean that we sort of, maybe…

Have to work naked for a bit.”

“ARE YOU SERIOUS?!” Yelled Lara. “We can’t work naked in a diner! That must be some health code violation!”

“Lara, this place doesn’t even have hair nets and the mold is old enough to run for president. Nudity won’t be the biggest issue here.”

“And what if Toby sees me? What would he think?”

“Don’t worry, the window between the diner and kitchen is really small. If we play this right he might not see anything?”

“And you sure it will dry fast?” Said Lara.

“One hundred percent.”

“…Fine.” Spoke Lara defeated, as she stripped off her clothes. As the other two followed, they stacked their clothes and Fiona brought them the the dry place, blissfully unaware how dry they would become.

As the three stood naked, Claire could only say, “I hope we're not frying anything."
