"Why won't you give us our food, Shrimpo?" Toodles whined, her enthusiasm fading into frustration. "I want my shrimp!"
Shrimpo shot her a disdainful look, scrunching his nose in disgust. "GET OUT!" he yelled, his temper flaring. "FIRST YOU BARGE IN AND NOT RESPECT ME, AND NOW YOU COME BACK FOR SHRIMP?! GET OUT AND TAKE YOUR STUPID DOG WITH YOU!"
A rush of anger sparked in Pebble, who leaped in front of Toodles, his small rock-dog form brimming with defiance. "BARK! GRRR!" he growled, frustration bubbling up as he stood protectively beside his friend.
Toodles' heart raced, feeling the tension in the air around them. But just as the atmosphere thickened, a sudden crash echoed through the diner, followed by screams that pierced the cheerful chatter.
Shrimp's eyes widened in disbelief, and all eyes turned toward the source of the chaos, leaving Toodles and Shrimpo frozen in shock, unable to do anything but await the unfolding mystery.
