On to dinner

    by: Maddie Author IconMail Icon
Once everybody was ready, the family headed down to the restaurant. Stephen locked up the room behind them before handing the keys to Joseph who then placed them in his handbag. Kristen was a mixture of excited and hungry as she skipped towards the elevator. To an observer it would have looked weird to see a young girl dressed in an older mans clothing and skipping but thanks to the chips placed by Professor Moriarty, the Pryce family didn't think anything of it.

Arriving at the lobby, the Pryce family made their way towards the hotel restaurant. The two children took the lead walking quickly and excitedly while Amanda and Stephen hung back and took their time. Amanda had her arm wrapped around Stephen's. They approached the restaurant and were greeted by a woman.

Her brown hair was cropped short and she wore a suit and tie. She didn't bat an eyelid at the oddly dressed family that stood in front of her.

"Hi," Stephen began. "Table for four please."


The woman smiled, and then grabbed four sets of menus before gesturing towards the dining area.

"Of course, sir. Right this way."

Both Stephen and Amanda were impress by the ambiance of the restuarant. It looked rather fancy but not so much that they didn't feel under dressed. As they were led to their table Kristen took note of the bar and their extensive selection of beer available. She licked her lips beginning to feel a little thirsty as she wondered if she'd be able to sample all of them during their stay here.

Again, thanks to the chips in their heads, none of the Pryce family took any notice of the fact that all members of the staff seemed to be wearing the clothing of the opposite sex. The bartender was a woman who wore a white dress shirt underneath a black waistcoat followed by a pair of black pants while the men were all dolled up, wearing tight black dresses that showed off a lot leg and they also wore makeup.

"Here we are." The woman said gesturing towards a booth table not too far from the bar. Stephen nodded satisfactorily as he noted that he could watch the game from the big TV that was hanging from the wall behind the bar.

The woman handed the two childrens menus to Stephen and Amanda while giving Joseph and Kristen the adult versions of the menu. Professor Moriarty had also changed the Pryce family's eating habits around so that Joseph would now prefer the things that his mother used to eat while Kristen would choose Stephen's.

"Your waiter will be with you shortly." The woman announced. Stephen nodded and the woman returned to her station outside of the restaurant as the family turned their attention to the menus.

You have the following choices:

1. Joseph orders a salad while Kristen orders a steak

*Pen*
2. Something else

*Pen* indicates the next chapter needs to be written.
