As the waitress set the plate down in front of Carla, she said "well, that wen't quite smoothly, didn't it?" "Yes," Carla answered, "Thank you so much for getting a witch in here to make the serum on such short notice. Jaime just decided on this place this morning. I really appreciate your help." "Hey, no problem," said the waitress, that's what we're here for! This is definitely one of the cleaner ways to get rid of a boyfriend that you're done with." She continued on, "Now, just so you know, your old boyfriend here is fully aware and conscious. He can see, hear and feel. However, he cannot move or respond in any way... So for you, it's just another lobster. A regular fine dining experience. You go ahead and dig in, okay? And I'll be back to check on ya." "That sounds great, thanks so much," Carla said as she placed her napkin on her lap. She then took a sip of her drink and tore into the meat of the lobster. Jaime screamed in agony, only to himself of course, as no one could hear him. He was still burning from the boiling and chef's preparation, and on top of that, felt each and every crack, tear, and stab of Carla's fork. He felt each time his meat was dipped into the hot butter, and every bite and chewing motion that she made. Some time later, the waitress returned. Carla told the waitress that this was one of the best lobsters she had ever had. "I'm so happy to hear that," she responded, and asked "Can I get you anything else?" "Yes, please, could I have a refill on my drink and the hot butter as well?" "No problem, I'll bring that right out," and the waitress walked off. She brought the drink and butter back and set them on Carla's table. As she finished up her meal, the waitress came back to her table, and said "And now we have for you... a complimentary dessert, and I brought out another refill as well. May I take your plate?" "Yes, please and thank you," Carla answered, "that was delicious." As she picked up the lobster plate, the waitress said "By the way, I spoke to the chef, and this one's on us, so don't worry about the check." "Really, are you sure?" "Yes, see I'll take these scraps back to the kitchen, we'll cast a spell and renew Jaime into a fresh new lobster. We can repeat the process indefinitely." "Wow, that's incredible, thank you so much!" "As Jaime was carried back into the kitchen, he felt the strangest sensation as his scraps were being scraped into the garbage. The next thing he knew, he was a whole live lobster again, being carried out and dropped into a tank at the front of the main dining room. He nervously looked out at all of the patrons joyously feasting on their meals, and hoped he wouldn't be chosen again anytime soon. He tried to hide in the back corner of the tank. Little did he realize, however, that the tank was so small that everyone could see him without even trying. Especially such a large, meaty delicious-looking lobster as he was. It was such an intimidating and nerve racking experience for Jaime, as he watched all of the new guests coming in. Some would walk by, not giving him so much as a glance, but then there were couples who would look at him and smile as they walked by, and children who would press their noses against his tank, giggling, pointing and poking fun at him. Finally, after Carla finished her drinks and dessert, she got up to leave. Jaime noticed her blue dress hugging her body and gently swaying behind her as she walked by, casting him a slight glance and a smile as she walked out. He could tell by the number of new diners walking in that it was still plenty early in the evening, and the restaurant was packed. Music was playing, and everyone seemed to be really enjoying themselves. "Crap," thought Jaime, "It's just a matter of time..." Just then, three sorority sisters walked in. They looked around, spotted the lobster tank and rushed right over. He heard the first girl to walk up to his tank laugh as she said "Let's see what's in the tank tonight!" She bent down and peered in, "Ooh, look at that lobster! That looks delicious!" She stood up, turned around, talking to her friends for a second. Then she leant over the tank and spoke, "Hey buddy, don't get too comfy in there! We are STARVING! Looks like you're on the menu tonight! Aww, don't worry big guy, we'll put you out of your misery pretty quick!" She laughed, licked her lips and rubbed her belly as she stood up. "We'll see ya soon!" As the girls walked off to be seated, Jaime saw them all smiling and pointing in his direction as they spoke to the waitress.
