This is not a chapter, all this was done for an update about the book and is no way related to the actual plot of the story, and as the story is still in its baby steps the only characters in this update will be the ones I have already introduced as I don't want there to be any spoilers for you guys!

Also, this idea goes to the Queen @janie1617 because she is an amazing writer and an amazing person and she deserves a lot more credit than she gets from haters already :)

Blue, Declan and Sarah enter through the cafe doors, the little bell at the corner of the door, echoing its sound throughout the room. 

"Well where is she?" asks Declan, leaning against one of the many booths in the cafe. "The place is deserted so if she was here we would have been able to spot her straight away."

Blue rolls her eyes and walks over to one of the booths in the corner of the room, Sarah and Declan following her steps. "You know how she is, she's never on time and she has to make her entrance big and dramatic, I'm surprised she managed to get the cafe free, though." She muses as she takes her seat, with Sarah sitting next to her and Declan sitting opposite.

"Yeah but we're pretty late ourselves," Sarah comments, "she should have been here before us, surely."

"Yeah well, we wouldn't be late if someone  didn't have car sickness every half an hour in the car ride from London to here!" Blue snaps, her eyes turning to Declan, accusing.

He raises his hands into a defensive position. "Hey! I warned you that I would get car sickness and that I should just take my own car so I can take my time but you were the one who ignored my protests and said we should all go in Sarah's so that we can get here on time!"

"I'll never get the stench out of the leather..." Sarah mutters, her face scrunching up in disgust as she looks out the window. 

"Well, I didn't know you were that bad!" Blue retorts. 

The sound of the waiter coming over to the trio and asking them for what they would like interrupts whatever Declan had to say next.

"What would you like?"

At the sound of the waiter's voice, the trio's heads all turn to face him simultaneously, recognising the voice instantly.

They blink, then blink again and again before they all burst out into fits of laughter as they look at Carl disbelieving what they are seeing him dressed in. 

Carl is fitting some normal black trousers with shoes, the only normal set of clothing he has on while the rest is just completely ridiculous it could make the dead laugh themselves awake. For his shirt, Carl is sporting a bright orange polo shirt with big black and red writing in the centre of the shirt 'Best Best Cafe Waiter' accompanied by a big white cartooned rabbit holding a tray of carrots and a big grin covering his face. On his head, a pair of pink flashing rabbit ears sit too tight around his head and ears and look ready to snap at any moment. On his face, it looks like someone has taken a black sharpie and messily drawn a black circle onto his nose and added too much pink blush to his cheeks.

Carl just watches on emotionlessly, waiting for them to calm down, while on the inside he is like a volcano on the verge of erupting.

"What on earth are you wearing?" Sarah asks, wiping her tears away as she calms down.

"More like what bet did you lose to have to wear that!" Blue exclaims for her laughs.

Declan is too busy trying to take a picture on his phone to comment, which is probably for the best because one more comment and Carl would have been practically been blowing steam out of his ears.
