A Mother and Daughter

*KAWAII~CHAN'S CHILDHOOD*

"Nana! Nana sweetie! " A soft voice made it's way into an unconscious Nana's ear. She slowly sat up in her bed and brushed her short pink hair out of her face.
"Nana, time to get up. We don't want to be late to the cafe, " Her mother was standing for there, wearing a dark pink maid outfit.
"Okay Mama, " She got out of bed and went to put on her light pink maid outfit that her mother had given her. Today she was going to go to work with her at the maid cafe she owned. She bubbly skipped around the house eating the pop tart that she was having for a quick breakfast. "Mama?When are we going? "

"We should head off now actually. So let's skedaddle over to the car, okay hun? "

She smiled brightly up at her mother and they headed off to the car. As they were driving her mother told Nana about all the things that she'll get to do when they arrive. Take orders, meet new people, help cook, waitress, and just help the staff. It may not seem all that exciting, but it's different if you're in maid outfits and in the most colorful and happy environment possible. In a maid cafe the soul purpose is to leave the customers smiling, and enjoy yourself as well.

They walked into the bustling cafe. People were smiling, laughing, talking. This is how a maid cafe is supposed to be. Nana's heart soared upon seeing the welcoming enthusiasm coming from everyone. It felt right being here.

"Oh, hello Nana! " A women in a maid outfit with long brown hair in a loose ponytail bent down to get to her level, "Going to help us out today? "

Nana nodded her head, her grin stretching from ear to ear,"Yes ma'am!"

The lady chuckled and turned to her mother. They talked for a minute before taking Nana to the kitchen.

"So Nana, first you'll be helping out Miss Reese here cook, okay? " Her mother gestured to the lady that greeted her before, "I'll be out there taking orders if you need me. "

Not only did Nana's mother own the cafe, but she decided to help take orders and waitress. She loved to work with the other maids and meet new people instead of just sitting behind a desk doing paper work, which she still did.

Nana and Miss Reese headed into the kitchen. She listened to the instructions that Miss Reese gave her, she needed to add ingredients to the almost-done cake mix. She gently tapped the eggs on the edge of the bowl until they cracked open. She watched the slimy yellow-orange substance ooze down into the bowl, and mix in with the fluffy brown powder. "Now, " Said Miss Reese, "We stir. " Nana picked up her spoon and swooshed it around the bowl, and watched as the clump of ingredients turned into a thick dark brown batter.

"Very good Nana! I'll go set this up and put it in the oven, you go over to the front desk. Miss Scarlet is going to show you how to waitress and take orders, " Miss Reese gestured towards the front desk.

Nana nodded and went over to where she had pointed. A women with red hair tied in a loose bun smiled at her, "Hello Nana! Are you ready to waitress? "

"Yes Miss, " Nana looked up at her.

She chuckled, "Good. Now first things first, address the customer. Say hello. Direct them to their table, and leave them to scan through the menus. When they have decided they will ring the bell on their table. Once they ring, we come and take their orders. We bring the orders to the kitchen. When the food is prepared, we bring it back to the table. When they are finished or need anything else, they will ring the bell again. We then go and take the plates, bowls, spoons, ect into the kitchen. Then the process repeats itself with a new customer. It's a long list I know, think you're up for it?"

Nana stood up straighter with a look of determination on her face, "Yes ma'am! "

She smiled, "Good."

A customer walked up to the front desk. "Hello miss, a table for...? "

"Two, " The customer looked to another women standing behind her.

"Very well. Right this way, " Miss Scarlet led them to a table. Nana followed.

" I shall leave you to look through the menus. Please ring this bell when you have decided, " She gestured to a white bell with a light pink bow on top as a handle.

Miss Scarlet left the table and returned to the front desk. She tended to other customers until they heard the delicate sound of the bell. They went to take the orders.

"Nana, would you mind writing the orders down? " She asked.

Nana nodded and took the notepad.

"Great! Now bring that to the kitchen, I'll get the food once done. "

Nana brought it into the kitchen, a woman with short black hair smiled at her and took the paper. Once Miss Scarlet brought them their food and they finished, she and Nana escorted them out and piled the plates and bowls and silver wear onto a tray, bringing it to the kitchen to be cleaned.

"Amazing work Nana! You're mother is waiting in her office for you. This is all you will be doing for today. It was a pleasure to meet you! " She smiled and stretched out her hand.

Nana shook it and nodded, then headed to her mother's office.

"How'd you like it sweetie? " Her mother asked while driving her home.

"It was amazing! When I'm all grown up, I want to work in a maid cafe, just like you! " Nana giggled.

She chuckled, "Then I hope you do some day. And I'll be right there to help you if you need it. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll catch onto it quickly. "

She smiled at the thought. Being in a maid cafe? She couldn't think of anywhere else she'd rather work. And her mother would be there every step of the way.

Little note, uploads after this will be slower. Most likely they will be every one to two weeks. Thank you!
