Location: Residential District: Shopping Center(OOC: Takes place June 5, 2521 around 2:59pm. Open to anyone.)
Phew.. Almost done with the work week, but there were a few more places Fio needed to stop at before the week was through. Today she was back in the shopping area, ready to serve up some late lunch to whoever passed by. Her partner in crime, well.. associate and friend, Miho was going to do the cooking this afternoon for a little bit. Mostly because Fio just needed to sit down for awhile and the heat was getting to her. Maybe after a half hour or so she'd switch after she cooled off. Yes.. the serving window was a good place to get some fresh air, and deal with the customers one on one~. That was always a good thing, letting the customers know the person who was running the business.
They'd set the menu beside the truck when they'd fired up the generator. Today, their menu was the following:Cicero's Italian Cuisine Menu [/color][/font] Spaghetti and Meatballs - 7 EC Toasted Ravioli - 6 EC Mostaccioli - 7 EC Penne alla Vodka - 7 EC Risotto alla Pitocca - 5 EC Summer Salad - 5 EC Italian Fries- 4 EC
Add Breadsticks to any meal for 2 EC~!
Drinks: Water, Soda, Lemonade, Root Beer - 2 EC[/center] Fio didn't know how many people were going to come by her food truck today, but she did hope there would be a fair amount of customers today. Extra money was always a good thing.
And not being one to open late, unless unforeseen events forced her to open late, she went ahead and opened the service window. Who would be the first one to stop by and get some food?

Summer ought to be outlawed.
Not that he could do anything about it. Right now. Soon, soon...
There was an open textbook lying on his lap, botany was its subject, but Aeolus wasn't paying attention to it. Instead, his attention was to the sidewalk, watching the insects as they went about in their business.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the short ride home as he'd hoped it'd be. Damn traffic! His expression was a sour one as his luxury sedan was stranded. Can't these fools even build better roads?
What sort of question was that? Of course not; they're fools!
The pace was worse than a snail's; Aeolus was already half-contemplating getting off and getting home by himself via the 'high road'. It'd be faster and he'd be away from the ground...
...What's that?
Aeolus tilted his head, curious despite of himself, at what he saw. A shadow of a smirk appeared on his lips before he tossed his textbook aside and opened the door. The driver was alarmed when his young master got out of the car. "Go on ahead." was all Aeolus told the poor driver before he left. The poor driver, at a loss...Not that the spoiled brat hadn't done it before.
Dressed in a dark-colored blazer-type school uniform, and Model H tucked in his pocket, Aeolus approached the curious stand, stopping in front of the menu.
Italian?
Pasta.
... ... ...
Drat, no tea.

Fio watched as several cars passed and a couple of customers came in, got orders, and left. Some of them even put EC in the tip jar, which was also a nice thing. But there was a small lull at the moment in terms of customers. She could hear all the noise Miho was making back at the stove, probably working on another batch of pasta for their pasta dishes. What customer in their right mind would wait 10 for the pasta, plus the time it took to boil the water? They were meant to be like a fast food service. Get the food out quickly and make the customers happy.
Wow that was a fancy car out there. She eyed that Sedan in awe. Must've been nice to have that kind of money for something like that.
Wait.. did someone just get out of the car?
...And they were coming HER way?! This was rather unexpected. It wasn't often the upperclassmen stopped by her food truck. This was just... weird! But EC was EC, and she wasn't going to argue. What if this guy bought a lot of food from the truck? Or even called her over for a catering job in the future?
And gosh he looked pretty... But yet.. Fio still found herself thinking of Henry more.
"Hiya~. How may I help you~?"
----------
Model Fi was here, too, sitting in the drawer right by Fio. He couldn't see anything except for the contents of the drawer, which just held extra notepads, pens, and.. was that a picture? Fi couldn't see what it was, but it kinda looked like a picture frame.
And there was someone coming.. someone coming who held Biometal on him. "Fio..? We got Biometal headin' yer way."

Heh, who would've thought the pompous brat was still continuing his education? Model H couldn't help but sneer at the thought. His Biomatch, acting all high and mighty, when in reality he wasn't even educated enough! This is getting interesting...
...Even more interesting. Model H perked up when he sensed the presence of a Biometal. And as expected, the child is clueless. Now...Should he play the dutiful guardian or the nasty jerk?
Tempting.
Meanwhile, Aeolus was busy musing the menu. Inadequately short. Too short! There wasn't even any dessert...or tea! Then again, what did he expect from such a small...establishment? Meals on wheels, a source of cheap fast food, as he remembered the type of business. Going to a restaurant would take long for him to get food...And getting home would take even longer with the pace the traffic is going...
"...Whatever. This will do." Aeolus muttered before he looked around for the staff and found one, who gave him a welcome greeting.
He merely looked at her from head to toe and said, "Mostaccioli with extra Parmesan and basil, 2 orders of garlic breadsticks, Italian fries and lemon tea."

And there came a whistling around the bend--Henry with a book tucked under his arm. Don't think of him Fio, or he'll magically appear from the Library where he was researching for his novel! He knew that Fio's truck would be here today--mostly because she'd given him the schedule--but he didn't know that there would be someone else ordering already. His lips pursed into a frown. That someone else had a fancy-looking school uniform. Certainly nicer than the one he'd wore in public school.
It was taking a lot of self-control for him to not try to pickpocket the kid. After all, this was around Fio! He couldn't just go back to his old ways and be a creepy thieving jerk who stole kids' money! He clutched tighter to the book, waiting for Aeolus to make his order.
After all, he just wanted some Penne alla Vodka.
And a little time to flirt with Fio.

Fio watched the guy who came up to the truck, feeling slightly nervous by the fact that he was looking at her the way he was. Just wasn't often that a guy did something like that. Well... aside from the weird ones. Hopefully this guy wasn't one of the weird ones.. cause they were creepy.
Her attention went away from Aelous for a second when she saw another customer appro- HENRY!! She'd just been thinking about you! Fio's face tinted a little red just thinking about it. Had she actually summoned him? This was.. too weird.
But yes. Aeolus. He had been here first and she needed to take his order. She jotted down his order on the notepad, and he'd ordered quite a bit. Perhaps he was going to share with someone? But it was when he got to the drink that Fio.. got slightly nervous. Oh boy.. It wouldn't have been the first time she'd had to say they didn't have something, but it still didn't feel good when she had to do it. And now.. was unfortunately one of those times. And it was only more embarrassing because Henry was right there, too.
"I'm sorry.. I don't have lemon tea at the moment, but may I offer you some lemonade in it's place?" Hey, both were lemon with water and sugar. Just a matter of one being warmer than the other. Hopefully this guy didn't pitch a fit. Oh god, Fio would be so embarrassed.
----------
Ugh.. Was this guy seriously trying to order something Fio didn't have on the menu?! There was something called a menu for a reason, and even a Biometal like Model Fi knew what that was. "Relax, Fio.. It's alrigh'." He remembered the last customer that got all huffy with her because she'd forgotten to put an ingredient on the truck, even if she offered a discount and a replacement ingredient.
...It was cheese for crying out loud! Did it really matter which kind they got?
Since Henry wasn't a Biomatch, he couldn't sense lover boy in the area, but he still knew the Biometal was here somewhere. "Hey.. Who's there? I'm Biometal Model Fi."

Nervousness. That won't do; the shadow of a sneer appeared on Aeolus' face, but it disappeared when someone else came in line. Ugh, insects! The pale kid frowned, putting some considerable distance between him and the newcomer. He didn't like the look of this one, moreso than usual. The woman ought to move quick so he could leave.
As expected, he was told there wasn't any lemon tea. Even so, his expression soured. "Why do you not have any tea? It's a popular beverage!" he asked Fio, his tone icy. But hey, it could be a tip for next time!
-----
Model H snorted, shaking his head figuratively. The pompous brat just had to make someone's life difficult again. When will he ever learn some proper manners?
...Oh, wait. That was a rhetorical question.
//Hmm?// he heard the other Biometal introduce himself. Pretty friendly, or was he simply naive? 'Fi'...He hadn't known anyone with that name, and admittedly, H was a little intrigued.
//...Biometal Model H.// he replied simply.
-----
...Wait...That voice! And Model H started talking! Aeolus looked a bit surprised. That could only mean that Biometal was around...
And Model H didn't tell him about it!

Yes, Fio. You had summoned him with your thoughts. After all, he was thinking about Fio for some time, and hoping to catch her if he didn't get too lost in the world of researching for his novels. Truth was, he had remembered the schedule that had been given to him, and for once he had paid attention to what time it was--and his stomach, thank goodness. So it wasn't so much a summoning as you had impeccable timing in thinking about him, Fio.
He pursed his lips, looking at the guy ahead of him. Why that little snit. Moving away from him? It wasn't like he had some sort of freakin' disease that Aeolus could catch! What was it about him that the other didn't like? The slightly stubbly chin? The ponytail? His boyishly rogueish look? It wasn't as though he was going to swipe Aeolus' money. Yet. Not around Fio! Hey, he was being a good boy! Really!
He didn't particularly care for the brat's tone either. He would be polite but firm with him, even though it was probably not his place. "Perhaps if you don't like the drink fare of the establishment, you should leave the drink off your current order, accept her alternative and put up with it, or understand that there is a limited space in her establishment and that if you desire tea, you're going to have to provide your own tea bags. Or tea leaves. Whichever you prefer."
After that statement, he clenched his head slightly. Why the hell did Flygraines have to happen everywhere he went? Damn it...

Fio winced ever so slightly. She knew this wasn't going to go over well, but she'd hoped it did. The man really did want the tea, but she just didn't have it, aside from emergency tea bags she kept in the cabinet in case of migraines. And even then they weren't lemon.
"I'm sorry, but I just don't have lemon tea. Most food trucks I've seen don't serve anything other than maybe iced tea, but that's about it. But.. if-"
She didn't even get time to finish before Henry opened his big mouth. Her eyes widened, clasping a hand over her mouth. Did.. Did he just stand up for her?! "Henry...." She really didn't know what to do. She was going to offer to have the tea special made, partially because they had ingredients for a basic lemon tea as it was with the lemonade. And if she used one of her emergency tea bags...
"Henry, it's.. it's ok. Just calm down. Sir, I can see if I can have a lemon tea special made for you, but it'll cost an extra EC since the tea bag is coming from my own personal cabinet. Is that ok?"
That Biometal.. Fio could hear it. And judging from the rude customer.. it sounded like he could as well. Did Model H belong to him? And there Henry went clutching his head again. Just what was causing those anyway? It couldn't have been the Biometals.. could it? She'd noticed that most times he did this was around the same time one spoke, and seeing as Model Fi had only just spoken to Model H...
----------
Model H.. No, Fi couldn't say he knew this guy. But right now he was a bit more distracted with Fio's situation with the rude customer. And to make things worse.. lover boy was here. He could tell because he'd heard his voice, not to mention his Biomatch had said the guy's name. Joy..
"Fio, don't let the guy push ya around like that.. Ya don't gotta give 'im the tea at all."

Standing up for a woman on the street? Aeolus raised an eyebrow at that. Either the man is being gallant or he's trying to earn a favor from her. Knowing the brat though, it's more probably that he's thinking the latter. After all, people only do good deeds when they're expecting something in return. Genuine kindness? That's a load of rubbish! Aeolus ignored the man who'd given him some feasible alternatives. Sure, he could always go to the cafe he frequented and get some fancy blended tea...But where's the fun in that? Watching the woman squirm is entertaining. If she gets upset over something like this, she's got no right to do business. In a world run by money, it's a rule. She gave in and offered some tea from her personal stock. A smug look appeared on Aeolus' face. "Hmph. ECs are no problem for me; I simply want some simple lemon tea! Make sure they're decent!" he replied, his tone still icy. ---------- Model H chuckled; things are getting interesting. Who will win in this little game? //Oh, I'll advise your partner to just do what the child says. Consider it a friendly advice from a fellow Biometal.//((OOC: Aeolus, why are you so darn evil? ><;; )

Driing, Driing!
There goes the sound of the bell of a bike, echoing in the air. Driving on the bike was Thetis, having the time of his life. It's summer! That season with everything fun and awesome and he was heading for the beach! What best way there is to spend the afternoon than the beach?
He drove the bike quickly trough the shopping center. The Beach better prepare fro a Thetis to arrive!
"Hold on Thetis!"
Not expecting L to suddenly say something he pulled the breaks with all his might that the wheels squeaked loudly.
"We just passed by two biometals back in that restaurant truck. And one of them was very familiar."
"Hmm. Who could it be? Hey, do you think it's Atlas?"
"Why you always ask about her...?" Said the light blue biometal in Thetis's pocket.
"Uh... n-nothing! Nevermind! Let's just check it out then!" He said, blushing. Dang that biometal, always playing with him.
He took a U-turn and went back. Ah there was that truck, emanating delicious spell from it. Thinking of it, Thetis didn't had lunch today, he didn't want to get sick by eating just before swimming after all. Well, maybe it's too soon to go to the beach anyway...
He parked the bike and saw Aelous. And he was not looking at this direction... "Oh, I see what you want..." Whispered L.
Thetis walked behind him as quietly as he could. Well, Aelous was whining at the poor girl who was serving him. She he would never see him come. As soon as he got close enough...
"HELLO MODEL H SWEETIE! IT HAS BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME!" Shouted Model L from Thetis's pocket. The kid couldn't resist but laugh, Aelous would never freak out from that... or admit he was anyway. But L really knows how to make a good joke.
"Oh, so sorry Aelous. I simply couldn't resist. Hey Miss. Could you bring me uh..." He looks at the menu for a quick bit. "A order of Fries and Lemonade? Oh, and I like my Lemonade cold as the north pole! Pretty please!" Said with a smile on his face.
((OOC: Sorry for messing up with the font size. The event asked for it ^_^))
