One day, in the lounge of the Savanaclaw Dorm, Ruggie is waiting.
"I'm meeting Jack at 1 p.m., so I oughta be right on time—" Ruggie says.
Suddenly, he hears Jack's loud voice, "HEY, RUGGIE!"
"Gah!" Ruggie jumps as he cries out, and turns around to see Jack standing in the lounge, "Sheesh, how long have you been waiting here?"
"About 15 minutes," Jack answers, "What sort of guy would make an upperclassman wait around?"
"I mean, sure, but 15 whole minutes? Big waste of time if you ask me—and time is money. But whatevs, "Ruggie replies.
"So you wanna get going?" Jack asks.
"You bet! This tummy isn't gonna fill itself," Ruggie says eagerly.
The two then leave the Savanaclaw lounge to get to their destination. Soon, they are walking in the courtyard to get to their destination.
Jack soon notices a certain group, "Hey, check it out. It's Briar and Grim, and the others."
Briar and the group walk in the courtyard as well and soon see Jack and Ruggie."
"Hi Jack. Hi Ruggie," Briar says.
"Hello," Sereia says.
"Fancy runnin' into you guys. Where ya off to?" Grim asks.
"Us? We're..." Jack says.
And Ruggie says, "Gettin' our lunch on."
"Lunch?! That's the best idea I've heard since breakfast! Don't mind if I do!" Grim eagerly says.
"You and your stomach," Jack says with a sigh.
"You don't mind if we come?" Tanzanite asks.
"You don't mind, do you guys?" Briar asks.
"You're always down for anything, huh?" Ruggie says.
"No telling what Grim might do if we tried to keep him from food. Sure, you're welcome to come along," Jack says.
Soon, the group begins heading towards the destination,
"Awful nice of you to treat me to lunch, Jack!" Ruggie says.
"Did you just say free lunch?!" Grim asks.
"Grim," Briar sternly says.
Then Jack confirms, "For Ruggie, and Ruggie only. You two are on your own."
This has Grim shocked, "Mrah?! But why him?!"
"Because he watered my cactus for me while I was away at the Track Club training camp. He did me a solid, so I'm doing one for him," Jack answers.
"That makes sense. You're treating him today after he did you a favor," Tanzanite says.
"Lucky me, getting a freebie for somethin' so easy! Much appreciated, Jack! Shyeheehee..." Ruggie says with a snicker.
The group continues walking and soon leaves through the front gate of the school.
Ruggie turns to Jack and asks, "So, what kinda place are you takin' us to?"
"Glad you asked. So, I got a part-time job at a restaurant in Craneport during our last vacation," Jack says.
"Oh, over on the water, huh? That's pretty far, even by bus. Must've been a rough commute," Ruggie says.
"It ticked all the boxes, and it was only for a little while, so it worked out. Anyway, I want you to try the special there," Jack says.
This has Ruggie excited, "The special, you say? Now you're speakin' my language!"
