???: Welcome to Heartfelt dinner we - Alfred!

Alfred: Hello Samuel

Samuel: It's good to see you again, have a seat we'll be there shortly

He walks up to one of the seats and sits down.

*DING*

Just as he sat down the door busted open and boy ran through. He was of average height and build and carried a backpack but placed it down on a table nearby. This was (Y/N) Heartfelt, Samuel's son

(Y/N): Sorry I'm late, I missed the buss.

Samuel: Don't worry about it, just go serve Mister Pennyworth

(Y/N): Sure thing.

He puts on an apron and a hair net while walking towards Alfred. He pulls out a small notepad and pen as he arrived at Alfreds table and got ready to take his order

(Y/N): How can I help you mister Pennyworth?

Alfred: I would like a medium rare stake with a side of easy over eggs.

(Y/N): Sure thing mister Pennyworth.

He quickly goes into the back into the kitchen, passing by his dad whose crowded in papers. Once inside he hears his mom approaching him

Carrie: So what does he want?

The sound of wheels tuning could be heard as his mother approached.

(Y/N): Oh he wanted.... he wanted...

He couldn't bare to see his mom in that wheelchair. Her hair has fallen out, nearly, and was as thin as a sheet of paper. Her brittle state was a horrifying sight for (Y/N) to see.

(Y/N): He wanted the same thing as always.

Carrie: My specialty!!

She tries to get up from her chair and (Y/N) goes to stop her but she slaps his arms away.

Carrie: I'm not dead yet you buffoon.

(Y/N): Who the hell still says buffoon?!

Carrie: Your cool mom does.

She successfully gets up from her chair and walks to the grill/stove.

Carrie: I'll be damned if I die leaving our best customer unsatisfied!
