What's a 'pleasant' snack among 'friends'?

[Zeronone]

Kei looked down at his phone at the time, he had placed a letter a few days ago in the tree that he and Klara had met at, inviting her to lunch. He had also contacted his girlfriend Luara to lunch with a promise of a new friend for them both. He was looking forward to the two ladies meeting and a friendship sparking up. The air was nice and cool, so Kei had decided on going with a blue t-shirt with King Kong on the front climbing a Skyscraper. Blue jeans and a black bomber jacket with heavy boots. His long hair was tied back, and a pencil was stuck behind his left ear. His familiar sketch book was held in his left hand and his smaller notebook in his back pocket beside his wallet.

He looked around, gazing up the streets to see if he could spot his girlfriend or his new friend. The sun moved behind the clouds casting a shadow over the streets, cars moved slowly, horns blaring. The restaurant he had invited them too was a place his mother had given her opinion on and was a great place to eat. Though, she had a strange look when he told her that he was inviting two girls to eat. She had simply patted his shoulder and walked off. Leaving Kei confused but deciding it wasn't a big deal. His gaze continued to shift, hoping to see one or the other walk up. Or better yet, both at the same time!

Klara was wearing a neat blue shirt with the collar over her red cardigan's collar. She had a white knee length skirt with black leggings leading down to her blue trainers. Her hair was up in a neat pony tail apart from a couple of strands that just wouldn't stay back. She had somehow convinced the Runaways to let her have a little bit of money to have a lunch date with Kie who she had talked nonstop about. Then it was just a matter of heading into town to find the restaurant.

It had taken her a couple of wrong turns but she managed to spot him in the distance. She beamed from ear to ear.

"Hi, I got your note!"

She then hugged him.

"Good to see you. Did you get home alright? Am I late?"

She had been a little worried but it didn't matter. He was here, she was here.... no sign of the other girl but that was fine.... at least for now.

Laura was in a hurry as she tried to hurry at the restaurant. She dealt with some *Disturbances (AKA: she spotted some crimes in progress) and had to stop those, then she got pulled over by a cop who was wondering what a 13 or 14 year old was doing driving a motorcycle. Once all that was squared away it was a matter of getting to the restaurant. She shot Kei a text

*Had to stop some dealers, and got pulled over by a policeman. I should be there in a few. Sorry beau. ♥️ U. 👄*

As promised a few minutes after, she pulled up to the restaurant, parked her bike and then ran to the table where she saw Kei and ran up to him.

"Sorry I'm late Beau," she said breathless giving him a kiss on the cheek. "It was one thing after another. First there was a purse snatching, a girl's cat got stuck in a tree, a stopped a drug deal in progress, then a cop pulled me over wondering what a 13 year old was doing on a motorcycle, it was a mess."

She looked at the girl and smiled. Dang she was cute and Laura could not help but wonder if she had competition for Kei's heart.

"You must be Klara. It's nice to meet you." she offered a handshake.

Kei spotted Klara and raised a hand to wave, flashing a sparkling white smile as she approached. He blushed a little when she hugged him but put it off to her friendly nature. He looked around once more hoping to see Luara arrive but so far, no luck.

"Got home safe and sound, Majesty dropped me off right outside my window. And no, you are right on time. Just waiting for Luara."

His phone dinged and he looked down, a smile forming as he saw it was from Luara. He wrote a quick message back telling her he hearted her too.

"Luara doing her hero thing, she will be here in a minute."

It was only a couple of minutes before he saw his girlfriend, his arm going around her to hug her. Stepping back for the two girls to meet. This was a great idea; he had a hundred in his wallet from his chores and was eager to treat both girls. Though, the look his mom gave him when he said he was taking two ladies to lunch still hung in the back of his mind.

Klara liked the fact that he was waiting with her. She moved a little closer then away as this Laura hugged and kissed him.

"Hi, a 13-year-old riding a motorcycle... Isn't that illegal?"

Klara waved at Laura. Then looked up to Kie. Some plants in the gutter were trying to get closer to Laura but she told it to calm down.

"So... What does this place sell?"

She was curious but she was also worried that she wouldn't have enough money to pay for it. It looked expensive and wasn't looking forward to picking something. Looking inside she saw there were cut flowers on each table and that made her feel a little sad. Though she breathed in and smiled to Kie.

"How come you don't do all the hero stuff? I mean Arbor and Majesty and Ice Cream are great creatures who could help you."

She looked at Laura to see her reaction to Klara knowing about them all.

"Uh that's a bit of a long story. Fortunately, I knew the guy's boss and was able to clear some things up. The joys of being turned from a 13-year-old to a 21-year-old, back to a 13-year-old."

Laura then looked at the restaurant. "oh, so we're going fancy here. Cool." She could not help but think that the place just by appearances was going to be ridiculously expensive. She wasn't exactly sure how or even if Kei was going to be able to afford this, but if he couldn't then she would sneakily go ahead and pay for the meal. Who knows, she might just go ahead and do that anyway. As she went inside she couldn't help but notice the vines getting closer tp her only to abruptly shrink as if being recalled back. She could not help but grin. Was Klara jealous or was she just overly nervous? Laura didn't know and she wasn't going to push it.
