December 24-In front of Okonomiyaki shop-Late Afternoon

[okitawilliams]

It was Christmas Eve and Okita thought it would be nice to give her sisters a nice treat. She remembered how much they loved the food at the Okonomiyaki shop.  Every since the time she met Amanda, she had not been here back since, which was a shame because the food was very delicious. As she walked, she passed a familiar restaurant that sent

The shop was extremely busy that night, it seemed that Christmas was more of a couple holiday and because of that there were tons of people here in the shop. Most food places were like this though and the business was good. Haitani was helping his mother by force this day but as she pointed out he had no plans and his father wasn't celebrating either. No here he was waiting on people.

As Okita and the twins entered, Haitani who had just delivered drinks to a nearby table approached them. "Just three?" he asked.

[okitawilliams]

The energy of the crowd was rubbing off on the twins as they looked around excitedly. Most five year old would be afraid of so many people with so much noise in a closed area, but not the twins. They looked around excitedly, observing the waiters as they took orders, served drinks and cooked on the grill.

When Haitani approached them, Okita was surprised to see him there. She knew it was busy but it was after all a holiday. Maybe he was here to help his family and they were planning on celebrating later.

Holding a tight grip on the twins, she nodded. "Yes, just three."

[haitani_kun]

Haitani looked around for a table that was just cleared and headed them towards it. His nervousness was pretty bad today as he was terrified to screwing up, or worse something his mother might do. Her lover was here today and the last thing Haitani wanted to happen was for another school mate to find out his mother was a lesbian. It was always awkward.

"Right here," he said as he directed them to the table.

[okitawilliams]

Okita and the twins followed. Once he directed them to their tables, Varu took a seat first sliding in with Okita in the middle and Varuna sitting at the end.

Varu started banging on the table while Varuna tried to look under the table taking a great admiration for her boots once again.

Okita looked up at Haitani waiting for a menu.

[haitani_kun]

Haitani set the menu down and glanced up at the door as an unusual family entered. Why was it that he was the only one seating people. "I will bring out a pitcher of water and take your real drink orders and if you are ready your meal." Haitani bowed before walking to the door.

[okitawilliams]

Okita took the menu and looked through it. She wanted to try something new, but she quickly felt she would like the usual order of a cheese and shrimp okonomiyaki.

"So, what would you two like cream soda as usual?"

Varuna tapped her lip before shaking her head. "Hur-bal tee."

Okita locked shocked and amused. "Varuna?"

Varu noticing Okita's impression, asked for the same thing. "I want hur-bal tear too."

Okita laughed shaking her head. "You girls are very silly. You won't like herbal tea, it is not sweet at all."

Varuna seemed surprised and wrinkled her nose not wanting the tea and asked for the usual Cream soda.

"Cheese and shrimp okonomiyaki for both of you without mayonnaise for Varuna."

Varuna gave a toothy grin. As she looked around and noticed a family that was speaking in a different language. She stood up to get a better view. She tugged Okita and pointed at the family.

After they'd been seated awhile, Neha looked up to see Varuna's pointing. She smiled and gave the little girl a small wave and a wink before responding to something her grandmother said.

[okitawilliams]

"Oki, why are they dress weird." Varuna said finding the clothes unusual but obviously admiring them. She grinned wider when one of the people waved at her.

"Varuna!" Okita said sitting her down. As she observed the family that her younger sister was talking about, she turned to back to her sister. "It is not weird Varuna, they are from a different culture." She said explaining to Varuna as if she was much older. "Like you, have you noticed that your hair is lighter than the other children from your class, that doesn't make you weird, does it?"

Varuna took one of her pigtails and played with it before nodding. She though kept observing the family. Varu who had also caught attention tugged Okita. “Why are they talking differently? Are they…spee-kin in… code?”

“It’s a different language.” Okita sometimes wondered if she was as curious and talkative.

“But why?”

Okita shook her head refusing to answer their questions any longer. It would lead to the “Why?” scenario.

[haitani_kun]

Haitani came back with two pitchers of water, he placed one on Neha's table first before facing Okita and setting theirs down as well. "Alright are you guys ready to order?" he asked pulling out his pen.

[okitawilliams]

Okita nodded. "Three cheese and shrimp okonomiyaki but without mayonnaise on one of them. Two cream sodas and an Apple Tea." She closed the menu and looked at both twins who were busy chewing on their sticks. Turning her attention back to Haitani she said.

"That's all. Thnak you."

[haitani_kun]

"No problem." Haitani went to get the drinks and a basket of ingridents. Coming back to the table he handed out the drinks and began to prepare the okonmiyai. Once it was ready he let it cook on the table grill. "Would you like to flip it?" he asked with a smile.

"Usually its not allowed but its busy and my mom is making an exception."

[okitawilliams]

"Sure," Okita usually cooked for the twins so this wouldn't be a problem. She gave them a warning look before getting up. "Do not touch the grill." She waited for Varuna to slide out the seat before Okita getting up.

Grabbing both metal spatulas she waited for the Okonomiyakis to fry for a bit on one side before deciding to flip them.

[haitani_kun]

"If you need help at all please call me." Haitani didn't heisitate adding this before turning to Neha's table to finally take their order as well.

((Sorry for long delay - family vacation))

[okitawilliams]

"Thanks," Okita said winking as she flipped the first Okonomiyakis to which the twins watched impressed, Varuna stood standing.

She flipped the last two and placed both two spatulas down letting it fry on the other side. She went to take her seat as her sister took a seat next to her.

"When you girls are older," She said pressing both of their noses. "I'll teach you both how to cook."
