At 5pm a fox and a young rabbit were sat at a posh restaurant possibly waiting for their meals or just ordering. The young rabbit had a squarish nose, upright ears and a scrawny build to him. On the other hand, he had a look what would attract people his age, even though he doesn't look the type for any of that type of relationship.
But the fox looks worn down and yet looks full of energy, wonder how he's going to keep that up. This fox wore a jacket with pink flowers scattered around it, his face appeared to look like he's in his late thirties, wrinkles near the eyes a overall scruffy look to him possibly due to the stress of having a kid.
Around them the restaurant was busy, people talking, plates and cups clinking, waiters and waitresses walking around the place taking orders and delivering food to every table. Music played on a low volume in the background making a pretty busy place more relaxing to be in.
"Fin, do you wonder what the others at home are doing because they didn't want to come." The rabbit asks as he fiddled with his cutlery on the table on top of a napkin.
"I think the kids would have a movie night with mom and grandma no idea what they are planning to watch." Fin responds as he was trying to look through the texts from them.
Then, a waitress stops by their table with a couple of menu booklets for them to order food, she was a Lemur with dark purple hair with light pink tips, she wears a white blouse with an apron with the restaurant branding on it, with black trousers. She also had a beaming smile even if the job as a waitress may be stressful.
"Here's you menus, please let me or any of us know if you have any allergy or any dietary requirements, when you finish choosing what to eat wait for us to tell what you ordered to." She said after she lied the menus on the table.
"You must order you drinks first there is refills if you want any."
After that she heads off to take other customers orders, Fin and the rabbit sat there reading the meal names and looking at the food to find the right one to choose. The rabbit flipped through the pages having trouble ordering even though Fin has already found what he wanted it was a typical fish n chips he has a liking to.
"Phil, having trouble bud... I though you find something to tickle your fancy... there's lots on there that you could order you can have the same as the old fox himself." Fin gasps.
"Me, fish n chips nah, maybe a chicken burger with fries or a gammon steak?" Phil questioned.
The music changed to a song Fin really likes listening to making him ignore what Phil said slightly, he smiles and shakes his head in beat with the music then starts humming the words. Phil gave his father a slight judgement look he was expecting him to react to what he said straight way. Fin stops then responds to whatever he heard from phil.
"Chicken burger or gammon steak...sound good... but there's still a lot you could have chosen instead."
Phil rolls his eyes after his fathers response then starts to whistle to himself as he looked around the restaurant, he was bored at this point and possibly would go insane during the time to wait for his food to come. Fin thought of an idea to avoid him getting too bored, he started to impersonate his favourite celebs.
"Are you trying to be Creative Cassie the character portrayed by Linda Shellgone, come on now that way to obvious... Are you trying to play charades with me I'm not a school kid." Phil argues.
A waiter approaches a table with a device on his hand he most likely came to take their order, telling by how confident he looks. Phil thought this male waiter was quite good looking even though he was just a rabbit and he was a Beagle. Predator and prey but it was no different than a fox.
"Evening gents, what you want to order here?" He asks.
Fin looks at the waiter with a small smile before responding with what they ordered, Phil was double checking with the menu to see if he was totally sure on what he's ordering. The restaurant around them got even more busy during the time they were waiting for this waiter, that it became a room with screaming children and even more clinking plates and more talking.
"Can we have one fish n chips with ketchup along with a lemonade and a Chicken burger with a milkshake please... wait another thing can we also have some cheesy chips as a side... thank you." Fin said.
"Thank you sir, it might take a while for you food to come so bare with us at the moment... it's getting too busy for my taste." The waiter said after he finished typing down their orders then he left to go to another table.
Then on a TV screen there was a news broadcast which caught Fin's eye, this news report is on strange occurrences in the the sky were the clouds appear to look like hands along with an intimidating face appearing in the sky at a certain time of day. Fin was horrified by the images of this and looks over to Phil if he knows anything about any of it, but he shakes his head but this made him curious about this he thought it was just a strange thing the night sky is doing lately.
The rest of the restaurant was possibly also discussing the same thing in this news report and some were in fear, some thought it was a hoax by some stranger on the internet. Fin crossed his arms as he thought that thing might be not what people here thinks it is he knows that the night sky would never look like this and this is a gigantic creature form another place or even another realm came to theirs to haunt them.
Fin thought of an idea about them going around town around the time it appears in the sky to take pictures of it and prove that thing is real and is cable of moving, they could also try and find remnants from where it came from by finding bizarre things across town. But he thinks they need help from a friend.
"Fin you alright, you just went all blank in the eyes and then a twinkle appeared are you thinking of something?" Phil asks.
"Maybe, but I tell you later pipsqueak, food is more important than my idea... I'm going to stretch my legs for a bit I can feel some pins and needles heads rearing up in my legs." Fin said as he rushed out his chair.
"But actually I'm heading to the bathroom I'm bursting."
Fin rushed to the bathroom, Phil sat alone and got bored again so he starts to look around the table, on the table there was the obvious like salt, pepper and sauces, a flower pot with Azalea flowers sprout out of it, displaying its pinkish purple petals. He remembers seeing these flowers in his grandmothers garden when he visited last.
Few minutes later, Fin rushes back to the table when he notices a waitress heading to their table with their drinks they orders almost ages ago. The waitress spotted him and let him tell her which one is who's instead of her figuring out herself. She was a Gazelle with horns decorated with bracelets possibly from her friends or she made herself.
" Thank you, do you know were the refill machine is by any chance? Fin asks as he sips his lemonade without knocking the lime into his drink.
"Yes I do sir, they are over near where you get some sauces and its positioned next to the coffee machine if you are craving it like I am right now." She responds, before going to another table to take orders.
"Fin do you ever wonder why other realms exist or is this something I solidarity think about?" He wonders.
"Well it's not actually on my list of worry at the moment, my worry is about finishing Steve science homework of a volcano model... sorry if I raised my voice a little I do get a bit like that." Fin responded.
"To be honest his model is getting me and him excited at the same time no wonder I'm getting quite loud about it."
Minute later, food arrives in a nick of time, Phil as almost half asleep at this point that what waiting for food for a while does to him. Fin was flabbergasted on how the food was presented on the plates that he overexaggerated by throwing his hands up into the air and screaming "Yay" making the waitress a little uncomfortable because he feel like he set out a strange creature after he put his plate of food in front of Fin's glazed over eyes.
"Fin, I thought you were a father not a toddler!" But being too mature is to be honest very boring so screw it." Phil said.
Someone approached Fin from behind, they were an honey badger in overalls and a striped shirt. He seemed friendly and he wanted to ask Fin a question.
"Excuse me...Sir." He asks.
Fin heard him from being behind and it made him jump and he accidently threw his fork across the restaurant directly into some women's well styled hair with the cod still on it. The lady screams and got the waitresses attention, Fin looks behind very slow but it was just his neighbour Joseph who works as an art tutor at Phil's college.
"Evening sir, How is Phil doing in his art course?" he asks awkwardly, still in shock from the loud scream he heard across the restaurant.
"Pretty well, but I'm sorry for spooking you, sir... and have a nice evening." Joseph said before heading back to his table.
"Fin...I think your fork hit someone, do you know that is a fork not a dart right!" Phil mentions.
"My beautiful hair ruined by someone's greasy fish... I want the police called I spend dozens on my specular hair." The lady complained.
"Miss, if you say so." The manager huffed before he headed off to his office to call the police.
Fin looks over at Phil his face was still plastered in shock, hearing what they are planning to do got Phil nervous as well. But they both try to keep calm during this situation they both awkwardly glance at each other for a few seconds as they waited for the police to arrive.
Later on, the police has arrived a blue rabbit, a fox and a bear enters through the restaurant doors they were led to the guests who complained about a fork in her hair and they started to investigate. Fin decided to hide under the table soon followed by Phil because he dropped his knife on the floor. The Blue rabbit asks the waitress if they could have a drink as they investigate, he inspects the fork with the cod which is now covered in hair.
Phil thought of an idea of rushing to the bathroom and having Fin follow so the police suspects them to be unrelated to the scene. He crawled out of under the table, left the knife on the table and rushed to the bathroom. Fin followed after finishing off his cup of lemonade.
The blue rabbit grew a bit suspicious on the two so he decides to follow them to the bathroom and check if anything is wrong. Fin pretended to wash his hand with a heavy load of soap, some coyote walks over to sink to wash his hand and ask Fin if he's okay.
"Err... yes I'm in here because of my son...he hates going into the public bathroom alone." Fin responds.
The guy leaves the bathroom before Fin hears a flush from Phil stall, he looks pretty confused on about the situation and quietly asks him about Fin not own up on ruining that lady's day out. Fin gives Phil a sorry look, he hates that he didn't own up and then he realises why, that women was entitled and wouldn't even listen to a apology from a person like him.
They heard knocking at the bathroom door, Fin was anxious but he brought up enough courage to open the door to this individual. he opens the door and it was the Blue rabbit officer. He tries to stay calm in this encounter so do they don't seem more suspicious.
"Evening boys, is anything up?" He asks.
"What was with all that rush?"
Fin swallowed his own spit before responding, he really doesn't want this to turn to the worst but he feels like his mind is bouncing across the walls he doesn't know what to do or say because he's in panic.
"Nothing in particular, my son right here was just bursting for the bathroom so we made a dash for it... Officer Elijah." Fin responds with a stiff posture.
"Apologies sir, enjoy the rest of your night." Elijah says before he leaves.
Fin turns around and huffs in relief. Phil wanted to head back to finish off his milkshake but he realises that its almost done, he finished his food and he doesn't want dessert and it was the time were they head back home anyway. Fin and Phil leaves the restaurant a tip of 50 before they left and jumped into the car back home.
