At the diner, the five walked in to find a table. Gene and Eric waited exactly two minutes before heading to the buffet. Doc McGhee followed while Paul and Tommy waited patiently. Tommy had managed to pull himself together enough to look half alive while Paul was still applying his eyeliner and a touch of gloss.
"Hey! I found a table!" called Eric from across the diner. Everyone looked at the five.
"My God!" mumbled Tommy. "Sh!"
He headed to the buffet and picked up a plate. Putting a little bit of eggs, bacon and potatoes(hash browns) on his plate, he added toast and picked up a glass of orange juice. "I'm not even gonna eat half of this but I'll take it."
Finally everyone was seated and eating. Gene made a face as Eric put hot sauce on his eggs before shoving them in his mouth. "HOT!!!" he yelped as the heat burned his tongue. "HOT!" He gulped water as fast as he could.
"Lord." muttered Gene.
Tommy scooted closer to Paul and ate quietly. Paul looked over at him and squeezed his hand under the table. "Try to eat, okay?" He slid an extra slice of bacon over and glared at Gene who had just let out a belch. "Excuse you."
"Sorry. Too much ketchup."
Eric got up to get a second plate and fell over his chair, managing to knock the chair over while tossing the plate into Gene's lap as he fell on his face. "Imma 'kay." he mumbled.
"I seriously doubt that." said Paul. "Are you eating anything else?" he asked Tommy.
"I'm paying and getting a muffin to go. This is embarrassing."
The lead guitarist paid and hurried out followed by Paul. They found the band manager and bus driver waiting.
"How in the hell did you survive this long?" Tommy asked Paul.
"I have no idea."
They got on the bus as Gene and Eric came out.
