A Table

"We would like a table for two please." Deb replied taking Jack's arm, as the hostess said "Right this way!" and showed them to a table right at the middle of the restaurant and handed them menus. "You two aren't regulars so I will give you a minute to look over the menus, but do you want to order drinks? We have Pepsi products, an assortment of teas including green, black, orange pekoe, and Kenya Red, as well as bottled spring water from Japan, Kenya Double A coffee beans that we grind and steep fresh, and assorted 'adult' beverages and cocktails..." The girl, who looked to be Half-Japanese and Half-Kenyan, about 15, and who's name tag was unreadable because it was in Kanji, explained enthusiastically.

"Pepsi Perfect." Jack said, then looked at Deb with an 'over to you' gesture.

"I will have a pot of 'Kenya Red' tea and a bottle of traditional Sake." She stated before the Waitress could even react to jack's order.

"What's a 'Pepsi Perfect'?" She asked. "I don't think we have that flavor."

"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" He mumbled before explaining in a normal tone. "It's a glass of original Pepsi, but without ice, because the Pepsi is 'Perfect' straight out of the can or bottle, and sounds more sophisticated than 'without ice' because it's alliterative and shorter." Jack declared.

"Oh, I'll remember that!" The young hostess stated, and scurried off to get drinks.

"So, you're a 'Back to the Future' fan are you?" Deb asked after the drinks had come and the hostess gone to her post by the door.

"I've seen all three more times than I can count." Jack admits with a smile.

"Did you know I met Christopher Lyod once?" Deb asks, smiling. while looking over the menu.

"Really?" Jack queried, surprised.

"He was at a party my father threw once, we talked for a few minutes before I made the mistake of admitting I was a fan and he excused himself." Deb explained, ruefully.

"Bummer." Jack said, commiserating.

After a few minutes more of conversing about the movie franchise another girl, a bit older than the first one but probably her sister, came over and siad: "Hi, I'm Shanishona, I will be your server this evening, have you made your selections?"

"Yes, I have, what about you Jack?" Deb asked.

"Me too, I'll have..."
