Dine and Dash
"What about now?" an excited Jemma asks.
"Not yet." insists an equally excited, even if she attempts to hide it, Pandora.
There's a few moments of silence as Pandora keeps watch on the surrounding restaurant. She watches the movements of the wait staff between them and the door.
"What about now?" the young possessed teenager asks again.
"Not unless you wanna get caught." replies an amused Pandora.
"Come on, we can't just sit here. They'll notice." says an increasingly nervous Jemma.
"And if we leave too quickly and waiters are in our way, they'll notice." Pandora insists as she continues to watch the people around her.
"Let's just go. It's not going to be any fun if we just keep sitting around waiting for the right moment. Someone's going to come bring the cheque soon."
The waiter at the front of the restaurant moves away from the door and Pandora sees an opening, "Go."
Jemma is somewhat caught off guard by what Pandora says "What?"
Pandora turns to her friend sitting across from her with plates of recently finished food on them, "Go, now."
It takes Jemma a few more moments to realize what Pandora says before getting up heading slowly for the door. Waiting for her friend to get a few steps ahead, Pandora casually gets up as well, slinging her bag over her shoulder, and follows Jemma to the door. Both do their best to seem calm and collected as a few of the other restaurant patrons notice them but not what they're doing. Eventually, one of the waiters who is a few tables away notices the empty table and both of them heading for the door.
"Uh, excuse me..."
Pandora and Jemma both continue on their path without looking back.
"Did you...? Ma'am... I don't think you..."
They keep going and it isn't long before the waiter notices what they're doing.
"We've got dashers!"
"Go! Go!" Pandora says, encouraging her friend not to stop.
He sets the tray in his hands on the table in front of him and starts rushing for the exit, his path blocked by various oblivious patrons which he has to weave between.
"Dashers!"
More of the wait staff notice but most of them are not in a position to deal with it. There's only the waiter at the front of the restaurant between Pandora, Jemma and the exit. The new friends speed up their exit as the waiter behind gets closer and the one in front of them tries to get in their way.
"Stop!" insists the waiter in front.
Jemma runs right into the waiter in front, knocking him over despite him being bigger than her. It allows her to get out the door fairly quickly. Pandora is not far behind, getting out a few moments later. When she gets outside, Jemma is standing there waiting for her.
"What are you doing?" asks an equally excited and concerned Pandora.
"Tempting fate?" suggests a curious Jemma.
"Let's go, they're going to catch us." insists Pandora as sounds of the wait staff following can be heard, "Come on."
Pandora takes off and Jemma starts running down the street after her.
