Maple's a quite guy . Wont say a word more than required. Wont start a conversation if his Life depended on it . Most wont even notice his Presence....not because he's tiny or anything nah, He'd leant over the years how to not draw attention. Doing the dishes in the cozy little café was what kept him busy the whole day . A lot of people would say his Job's extremely boring , but to Maple the dishes and the soap were the only stable things in his 25 year old life and he'd like to keep it that way.

But on a busy Monday morning Maple's Boss asks him to work up front waiting tables since they were short staffed . Now he hates interacting with people and waiting tables is ALL that but what's he to do.

Whether he wants to or not , he's gonna have to clean up and brace himself for a dreadful week , or so he hopes coz God knows how he'll survive if they don't find another waiter/waitress soon.

Now Sylvester isn't exactly anti-social you know. He'd be friends with the whole world if he could and that's how it was till he hit Puberty. Man , saying that puberty hit him hard would be an understatement. Food became his best friend and Happy go Lucky Sly was no longer happy . He'd become the Butt of all jokes, I mean pimples aren't good for anyone right , but they're the worst when you're in High School. And just when he thought things couldn't get any worse , he started growing tall damn genetics chubby , pimply Sly had still managed to hide , but giant , overweight Sly ?!

He was living a nightmare at 6'4" he was one of the tallest kids during Senior year. Now the only good thing to come out of this ordeal of his was that he didn't get bullied anymore . But the kid who just wanted to be friends with everyone around him was lost , what was left was a shell and happy memories of a time when things were simple.

At 18 , with no friends , fresh out of school and no plan whatsoever about the future , Sly walks into Snickerdoodles , the cozy little café that's been like a second home to him since....well forever , only to find that his usual spot by the door's occupied , meaning he'd have to walk past the maze of tables to find an empty spot.

A simple manoeuvre you'd say , for 6'4" guy built like a linebacker, trying to make himself invisible in a crowded place , now that's recipe for a disaster and that's exactly what happened.
