Animorphs - The Dive

Chapter 2

Guy awoke to the sound of his alarm clock. He had set it to wake him up exactly one hour before Fat Man Sandwich Shop opened, so he could get ready and be there on time. He got out of bed and went downstairs to make himself breakfast. 

After he finished eating, he left the house to his 1968 red Camaro. He started the engine and drove out of his parking lot. He hoped Neerg Nistua was planning on eating here today. Even if he didn't show up, it didn't bother Guy to stay in a sandwich shop all day. Restaurants are his favourite place to be. 

He parallel parked the car outside of the Fat Man Sandwich Shop. He stepped out and put on his shades. He entered the restaurant.

"Hey, Guy!" the man working the register greeted.

"Hey, Tyrone." Guy replied. Guy had gotten to know all the employees at every restaurant in town. Tyrone was one of his best friends.

"What'll it be today?" Tyrone asked.

"Hm...I think I'll have the Belly Buster." Guy replied. Tyrone left to the kitchen to prepare Guy's order. Guy sat down at one of the booths to wait for Tyrone, or Neerg. It only took a few minutes for Tyrone to return with the sandwich Guy ordered.

"You're early today." Tyrone said as he handed Guy the sandwich.

"Yeah. I'm honestly planning on spending the whole day here." Guy replied. He took out his wallet to pay Tyrone.

"You're going to spend the whole day in this sandwich shop?...Um, why?" Tyrone asked. Guy leaned closer to the counter and whispered, "Have you been reading the news lately?" Tyrone nodded. "Then you know about the guy who made this giant sandwich." Guy continued, "And you know this is his favourite restaurant. I'm waiting for him, then I'll turn into a sandwich and pretend to be his order, so I can get to his house and eat that sandwich." Tyrone looked skeptical.

"Are you sure this will work? I don't want you to end up getting eaten." he said.

"I've got out of almost getting eaten before, I can do it again." Guy replied. 

"Alright, good luck." Tyrone said, "I'll try to show up in time if you do need help." Guy sat down and began eating his sandwich. He looked at his watch. 8 am. He would be here a while.
