J-O-B

I got up the next day speed running through brushing my teeth, taking a shower, putting on my disguise and cleaning the house. I said goodbye to bolts and zoomed out the house where KC was already waiting for me.

KC: Hey bionia, you ready?

Bionia: Uh huh, where are we going?

KC: To my dad's restaurant for breakfast.

Bionia: Oh, sounds good.

KC's dad, Mr kcrisp, owned a fast food restaurant called Crispy Fried Chicken or CFC for short which he established after he and KC moved to Florida from Texas.

Bionia: This place's lit.

KC: It's okay, a popular choice in town. It's how we're able to afford for food and my education.

Me and KC skipped to the front counter were max was dressed in a staff uniform.

KC: Hey max, one dish of fried chicken with two soda pops with a side of ketchup.

Bionia: Hey neighbor boy, I didn't know you worked here.

Max: (groans) Why are you everywhere I go? At home, in school, now here?

KC: Be cool max, now our order?

Max: (dull) Coming right up.

  As max was about to place our order, the nearby door leading to the kitchen swung open and out stepped Mr kcrisp and a teenager in the staff uniform. They passed us walking out of the restaurant.

The boy turned to Mr kcrisp and smiled before taking off his hair and apron, handed them to Mr kcrisp and left. Mr kcrisp turned back around coming inside to where we were.

KC: Good morning dad.

Bionia/max: Good morning Mr kcrisp.

Mr kcrisp: Morning children.

KC: Dad, what happened to James?

Max: Yeah where's he going?

Mr kcrisp: James has ended his time here at CFC, he's earned enough to take care of his sick mother and now he's moving back home to be with to her.

Bionia: Aw, that's nice.

Max: But who will prepare the meals for customers?

Mr kcrisp: I'm not sure when I'll find on short notice but...

Bionia: Oh I can help!

Max: What?

Bionia: I know how to fry chicken and mix sodas. I can be of assistance around here so your business doesn't downgrade.

Mr kcrisp: Do you have any working experience?

Bionia: No.

Mr kcrisp: Have you burnt a meal while cooking before?

Bionia: No.

Mr kcrisp: What's your favorite type of meat?

Bionia: Between Beef and spicy chicken.

Mr kcrisp: What's your favorite colour?

Bionia: Navy blue.

Mr kcrisp: Fantastic, you're hired.

Bionia: Yay!

Max: What!

Mr kcrisp: (hands them the apron and hair net) Get to the kitchen and max will pass you the customers orders.

Bionia: Yes sir! (Zooms into the kitchen).

Max: Great, now I have to work next to them!

KC: Relax dude, I'm sure they'll do great!

In the kitchen

I looked at the kitchen in awe feeling so excited that I get to work here. As I was giving myself a tour of the place, max rung the bell.

Max: Hey Einstein, we have an order for table 3 of a small bucket of fried chicken wings with extra sauce and a large apple juice cup.

Bionia: On it!

  With speed and grace, I pulled out the frozen chicken wings from the freezer warming it up and prepping it then putting it in the deep fryer while I filled a soda cup with apple juice from the dispenser and poured some sauce into a dipping sauce. After a while the chicken was done and I brought them out dumping them into the CFC bucket then put it along with the sauce and drink on a tray then zoomed out of the kitchen to table 3 where two young adult girls were waiting.

Bionia: Your order is ready.

Girl 1: Finally (they eat).

Girl 2: Wow, this is so good.

Girl 1: Perfection.

Bionia: YaY! (rushes back to the kitchen) First order done.

Max: Yeah and alot more to go for the rest of the day.

Bionia: (pulls out a cooking knife) On it!

  For the next six hours I fried lots of kitchen, filled lots of drinks and also cleared and washed alot of dishes but overall everything went great.

  Well until later the day a woman walked angrily to the front counter yelling at max.

Woman: Excuse me, but I'm here to deliver a complain! I order a small bag of seasoned chicken nuggets.

Max: And you didn't get your order?

Woman: I got my order.

Max: So what are you complaining about?

Woman: It's my usual and when I order it I usually get 5 extra nugget pieces but when I was counting I didn't get the extras.

Max: Um well.

  The woman got angry and marched into the kitchen where I was and looked at me with a mixture of shock and disgust.

Woman: You're not James.

Bionia: I'm new, James has left.

Max: (walks in) They're his replacement.

Woman: Urgh, I feel so betrayed, I wanted to take some home for my children and now I won't be able to, thanks to you!

Bionia: But I was just doing my job?

Woman: You didn't do enough.

  With that she turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

Max: Dang what a Karen.

KC: (walks in) What happened?

Bionia: (watery eyes)I had an unsatisfied customer.

Max: She was quite rude though.

Bionia: But I had no idea she was to have extra.

KC: She's not the mayor's daughter, why would she get extra without paying?

Max: Does your dad know?

KC: I doubt, he wouldn't know and just let it go, that's money disappearing.

Bionia: (sighs and removes her apron)

KC: What are you doing?

Bionia: I've ruined your dad's business, I can't work here anymore.

KC: What, no you didn't.

Max: Eh, just leave her, I mean I already knew she wouldn't last the whole day here, she can't handle the stress and displeasure.

Bionia: (mood switches) What did you say?

KC: Max what are you doing?

Bionia: I can handle things without breaking a sweat.

Max: Oh yeah prove it, for the next two hours you gotta handle lemme say 50 orders, if not you're outta here.

Bionia: (folds her hands grinning) Deal.

Max: (pulls out four pieces of paper) Here are your first four, make it snappy.

Bionia: (Takes the papers) on it.

  Max and KC left the kitchen and I put on my apron and pulled out my cooking knife and for the next two hours I prepped and cooked chicken, fries, nuggets and hamburgers and blended drinks and mixed the sodas. Orders came in hot and I knew max was trying to make it difficult for me but I had an advantage as a high-tech android and in the two hours I had completed 65 orders of various meals.

Bionia: (grins) Orders up.

Max: (jaw drops) How did you complete all that with minutes to spare?

Bionia: I'm just very talented.

KC: Awesome! (hugs her).

Mr kcrisp: Good job Mr Einstein, you did better than I expected on your first day, since it's closing time already I present you with your first check.

  Mr kcrisp presented me with $50 and I felt so rewarded that I jumped for joy.

Bionia: My first day completed! Can't wait for my next.

Max: (rubs his head) Lord please help me.
