Lauren was stretching her hand as she slowly walks towards the door.  Just about time when the door was in full view, someone came rushing inside the restroom and out of shock, Lauren jumped and turned to look who was the cause of disruption. 

"Oh crap! Aaaarkkkhhh! Oohhh,..Aaaarrrkkkhhh!!!..."

"Hey miss, are you alright?", inquired Lauren as disgust oozed in her stomach as she watches the lady vomit on the sink.

"Do I llooookkk al..right..Aaaarrkkhhh!", answered the lady as she continued to release her pew.

Just as Lauren was about to go out and look for the lady's companion, if ever there was any, a guy came rushing in to aid the wasted lady.

"Oh baby, I told you not to drink.  Look at you, ttssss.."

"Then you shouldn't have taken her here in the first place! And excuse me, this is the Ladies' room, Mister!", came a familiar voice.

Lauren didn't notice that Leila was already inside.

"Hey Lauren, what's taking you so long? The food is ready. Are you okay?", said Leila as she wiped Lauren's wet face and ignoring the other still-vomittng lady and her guy.

"Oh sorry, thanks for that Leila. It's just that I saw a....", Lauren turned to look at the door, but to her surprise it suddenly disappeared.

"Oh, yeah that's a nice fountain right there right?! A fountain inside the ladiees' room!" answered Leila, thinking that it was the fountain that Lauren was pertaining to and accentuating her last two words to the guy inside the room.

"Uhm,..oh, yeah, the fountain, yes.  Uhm I'm not sure why but this place is really weird.", said Lauren in bewilderment.

"Yeah it is, but I assure you their food is great! Come on let's get outta here before I lose my appetite.", said Leila as she pulled Lauren out of the room without glancing at the other two people they're with who seemed to have already settled down.

Lauren didn't object as she still don't know what had just happened.  When they sat down, the two other girls are already enjoying the food and just looked up when they noticed their arrival.

"We thought you got flushed, Lauren. Hahaha! Just kidding! The food is great!", Corinne uttered in between her chew.

"Sorry", is all Lauren was able to say.  She kept silent the whole time they were eating and just kept roaming her eyes to see if the old man is anywhere in sight but she never saw him again until they finished their meal and decided to go home.
