"I think I'm ready to order. I'll have the fettuccine alfredo." said Shadow, looking at the menu and then at Pasquale. "And I'm relieved that you're okay with me being barefoot here."
"And I'll have the chicken parmigiana," Rosalina added, "with a side of spaghetti."

" I'll,have a fettuccine boscaiola." Melanie said.
" Same as her." Raine said.
" Me and Jarrod will share a Pepperoni and Meat lover pizza" Cadpig said.
" I have a Barbecue chicken pizza and garlic bread. " Penny said.
" Lasagne thanks Pasquale" Pepper said.
" Neat, so what are you hoping to get out of your time in America? " Penny said asked Samir.

"I'll have a pesto pizza," said Flo.
"I'll have a Mediterranean pizza," said Samir.
"I'll have a Ciceri e Tria," said Dalia.
"I'll have the cappon magro," said Sherine.
"I'll have a chicken cacciatore," said Mukhtar.
"I'll have an acquacotta," said Hasib.
"I'll have an Ossobuco," said Akram.
"I'll have a fettuccine Alfredo," said Tony.
Pasquale wrote down all the orders on the pad.
"Got it," he said. "I'll collect the menus, now, and I'll be back with your orders."
He picked up all the menus from everyone at the table and walked away.
"A lot of what a great time America has to offer," said Samir. "I'd like to do what many people do for fun in this country."

As Shadow and Rosalina waited for their food, Shadow turned to Samir. "Well, sometimes we go to the movies and go to the park." he said. "Maybe some of those could interest you."
"Though, maybe you could lay on the down low," Rosalina added, "if people here find out you're a prince, they won't leave you alone."

" Yeap the media is crazy once they find out you're a prince they won't leave you alone." Penny said.
" Do you guys enjoy sports?" Pepper said.

"I have a feeling that everyone else around us in this restaurant already know that I'm a prince," Samir said in a voice low enough so that only everyone else at the table he's sitting at were listening, "especially when they saw me dressed in these clothes."
"And since they all saw me wearing this Arabian princess outfit," Flo also spoke low enough for only those at that table to hear, "they're probably going to think that I'm in a romantic relationship with Samir and be married to him."
"When we're done eating here, we'll have to go to a clothing store and buy everyone here from Shiradaba some clothes to make you look like civilians," said Tony, following how Flo and Samir are now speaking. "And Flo, you'll have to change your clothes when we get home."
"Right. Now, until everyone from Shiradaba are dressed as civilians to avoid that kind of attention, if anyone outside our families and friends asks, we'll tell them that they're actors working on a play."
"Okay."
"Of course," Samir said to Pepper. "The most enjoyed sports among us are sand wrestling and camel racing."
Several minutes later, after some of the people at that table have each taken a few sips of their drink, Pasquale returned with everyone's orders on a cart.
"Here's your food, everyone," he said, and he picked up the meals, one at a time, and placed each meal on the table right in front of the person there who ordered it.

" Thank you Pasquale. Were you busy today?"Melanie said.
" Okay we have mat wrestling and horse racing over here. Baseball as well. What about Football (Soccer) do you play it and cricket ?" Penny said to Samir.
"We are going to Melanie's club after that right?" Raine said.

"Melanie, I didn't you know you were a club owner." Shadow said, after swallowing a few bites of his food. The fettuccine alfredo was cooked to perfection. "The noodles are sublime. I'm not tasting one bit of burnt noodle. And the fettuccine sauce is homemade and not store-bought."
Rosalina took a bite of her chicken parmigiana, and her taste buds exploded. "Now this is what I like. Non frozen foods cooked to perfection. Maybe I could order the ravioli next."

"Yes, I was," Pasquale said to Melanie as the others began eating their meals. "I've been working non-stop after I opened the restaurant this morning, and I have to go back into the kitchen and continue cooking for the other customers at the other tables. I'll be back with you guys later to see how you all are doing."
Pasquale went back into the kitchen and continued working with the other chefs there, while the others talked to each other while they were eating.
"Just like how Papa makes it when he's cooking at home, as well," Tony said to Shadow after eating some bites of his own dinner.
"This food really tastes great," said Samir, and he turned to Penny. "I'm afraid we don't have those sports in Shiradaba."
"We can go to Melanie's club after we finish going clothes shopping for these people from Shiradaba," said Flo.
Mukhtar, Hasib, and Akram ate their meals by taking big bites of the food and chewing the food noisily.
"You must be really enjoying this food, huh?" Tony said as he saw this going on.
"Absolutely," Mukhtar said with his mouth full.
Samir, Dalia, and Sherine, who all ate as politely as they could, were disturbed at the way the tiger guards were eating.

" Yes I was in school and me and Pepper decided that one day we will own a club. It happened shortly after school. " Melanie said.
" The food is great Tony. " Raine said.
" Okay I can show you guys some of those sports later." Penny said.

"Heh, I need to spend the night at your place, then." Shadow chuckled at Tony after he and Rosalina finished their meals. He then eyed to the magic lamp. It was like it was pulling him to it. "Do you mind if I return to the lamp? I kind of like to go back in. It was really comfortable."
Rosalina eyed to the others to get their input. "What do you think? I have no problem with Shadow going back inside the lamp. I know I'm gonna stay out here because we're going clothes shopping. Maybe I could get some rings for my toes, too."

"All right," Samir said to Penny.
"You are welcome to spend the night at my apartment," Tony said to Shadow. "You can share a room with me. I used to share a room with my brother before he moved out. You can borrow his old bed. Tomorrow, I'll make a delicious Italian breakfast for everyone, right from the kitchen of my apartment."
"Or we can bring the lamp over to your place, and he and I, as well as anyone else who is interested, can sleep inside the lamp," Mukhtar suggested. "You should go in there yourself and take a look at it. It's fantastic."
"I can check out some summer clothes that are comfortable enough for me to wear," said Sherine, "and even the most minimal yet most comfortable pair of sandals."
"We'll also pick out some bags or cases for you to hold all your clothes," said Flo.

" Okay then this should be fun. " Penny said.
" Toe rings? " Cadpig said to Rosalina.
" Are we all sleeping in your apartment Tony? " Melanie said.
" What's next Flo? " Pepper said.

"Yeah, you know rings that you put on your toes rather than your fingers." Rosalina replied. "I'm thinking about getting one for my second toe."
"Well, maybe Mukhtar, Hasib, Akram, and I could spend the night in the lamp. Just remember to remove your shoes before going, though." Shadow said. "You know how I prefer us to be barefoot whilst inside the lamp."

"You can all sleep in my apartment if you like," Tony said to Melanie. "There are three bedrooms in it. My bedroom has two beds, so one person can sleep on my brother's old bed. Flo's room has only one bed, and so does my papa's room. Some of you will have to either sleep on the couch or the floor."
"We go clothes shopping next," Flo said to Pepper. "That's what we have planned to do after we eat here."
"You and Tony won't be paying for any of this, Florence, will you?" asked Samir.
"We have to, Samir. Why do you ask?"
"Didn't you tell me that you and Tony work in this restaurant?"
"Yes, I did."
"And this restaurant is owned by Tony's father?"
"Yes, it is."
"So, Tony's father pays you and Tony for working here."
"He does."
"Well, then, since Tony's father pays you and Tony for working at his restaurant, and you and Tony are eating at his restaurant, and you have to pay for it, that means you're paying Tony's father back the money he paid you. Don't you find that strange?"
Flo stopped to think over what Samir said.
"Yeah, it does seem kinda strange," she said, "but Tony and I still have to pay for our food when the bill gets brought over."
"Well, whether we go in with shoes on or off, it's our decision," Tony said to Shadow, "but it would make sense to go in without shoes if we're going to sleep in there."
