Underfell Sans' point of view:
"Hello and welcome to the Grill brothers...how many will be eating here today?" The man at the entrance asked, sighing. Clearly he wasn't paid enough or given enough work time, sorta like me I guess. I reach down in my pockets and shove a card at them, showing a picture of my bro. Apparently the police force got some kind of discount at these places for protecting the neighbourhood. "Oh just us four. Any free seats?" I peered around at the tables. A family of seven trying hard to get by, a drunk man alone in the corner with a bottle of whiskey. The characters of this place were always so original and fun to watch. Once when I was here a fight broke or between some old geezer and a newbie here. It took ages for one of the bros behind the counter to break em up fully.

I can see the waiter following my gaze before smiling and turning to walk away. "Yup follow me." We were lead over to a biggish table to the side with a window view. Me and Blue are the first to sit down next to each, but Rotten managed to push through and sit between us at the last second. I groan. And look awkwardly towards the counter and the man behind it cleaning the surface with a wet cloth. "Listen here bud, me and Blue would like to sit next to each other if ya don't mind. I'm sure you'd much rather sit next to your own bro pussy." I growl trying to elbow the other neko in the stomach. "Fell c'mon it's fine!!! Rotten chose to sit here but it doesn't mean our dates gonna be any different." I sigh and nod slowly as Blue moved onto the seat opposite alongside BBQ.

"SO, HOW LONG HAVE YOU TWO KNOWN EACH OTHER?" Rotten's voice is the loudest in the entire establishment. I'm surprised that Blue hasn't gotten a headache yet thanks to his delicate ears. I reach across the table and grab the drink's menu. I already know what I want but I want to seem to busy to listen to the one sat next to me. Blue seems to pick up on this and answers for me. "Well, I mean We've known each other for a few weeks now!! Thanks to Cherry I don't have to worry about this group of bullies anymore!!" I force a smile as I look back up at Blue who was studying the food menu awkwardly. This place didn't serve a wide variety of things, I aways thought that that was how most restaurants were as a child, that was until I snuck into some fancy smancy joint downtown and looked through the detailed list of snacks starters and mains. My mouth had watered from just readin them.

But that was the last time I'd needed to go there, and I wasn't the kind for being all posh and eatin things with longer names then me.

"SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?"

Oh crap. I wasn't listening to any of that. I shrug nervously and look up at the cheap lighting overhead. "Uhh well....hey want to look at the drinks menu Blue? Ya must be thirsty." My voice doesn't sound as relaxed and he must know. "ANSWER MY QUESTION NOW OR ELSE!" I feel him grab onto my shirt, his claw like nails digging into my arm. "J-jeez calm down would'ya?!! Just freakin tell me the damn question again." I shoot an angered stare beside me. "OH! OKAY! I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WERE INTO MEN IN UNIFORM...SINCE, YOU KNOW, I AM POLICE CHEIF WHERE I AM. UNLIKE MY PATHETIC COUSIN OVER THERE." Rotten snorts. That little b***** is trying to make Blue feel sad ain't he? Well it ain't gonna work. I lean back and out my feet up onto the table. This place doesn't seem to care how you treat the furniture it seems. "Well, I like men who try their hardest and don't use their job as an excuse to pick up people." I growl seeing Blue giggle quietly behind the card as he looked for a bite. At least he doesn't seem so unhappy anymore.

Blue's Point of view:
I giggle quietly after hearing this. Yeah!! Put him in his place Fellsy! Huh that's a neat nickname! I think I'm gonna call him that too alongside Cherry. I wonder if he has any cute nicknames for me that I don't know about! "Hello, are you all ready to order?" The waiter is back now and and I slam down what I'm holding with a thwack. "Yes!!" Me and Fell both say hurriedly. I think we both want to just get to eating and be out of here. "DOES IT LOOK LIKE ME AND MY MUTT ARE READY FOOL?" Rotten is stood up and pointing at him and BBQ. "M'lord there were spare menus....I had a l-look a second ag-"
"SHUT UP!"
BBQ whimpers and goes quiet, looking down at the placemat below him. "A few more minutes please!!" I look up at the poor shaky waiter trying to ease the tension. "Alright then." And with that he rushed away. "Rotten that's enough!! Stop harassing the people here! It isn't nice or attractive! So stop!! Or else!" I huff crossing my arms and pouting. I can tell Rotten is taken by surprise at my words as he sits down and looks away annoyed. 'Good job Blue' Fell mouths at me and I see BBQ give me a happy nod.

Timeskip brought to you by awkward family reunions:

As I stand up to go the bathroom I notice a movement beside me, "I'm going to come to if that is okay with you young master Blue." I smile as I make my way past tables. "Of course that's okay! But you don't need to call me that, just Blue is alright!" We had ordered by now and the food was taking much longer then needed so I decided to take a break in the washroom. I hope Fell doesn't mind being alone with the calamity of a cousin. I take a quick peek behind to see Fell pushing away Rotten as he tried to peck at his cheek. I shouldn't find it funny but it is sort of silly watching Rot try and befriend someone who doesn't like him. Normally he just yelled at someone enough to make them afraid to say no. But Fell wasn't like the other cowards. He was super duper brave!!

And I know that he can handle him! Afterall I'm only going to be gone for a moment!

What's the worst that could happen?
