Mote scoffed, "And miss the party? Not a chance! You're old pal Mote knows how to keep things lively! Just you ladies wait! Er, and Eary."
Eary and his friends relented to the moteling's imposition, as the crew loaded up into Eary's new car.
Once at Olive Garden, the group was seated at a table towards the back. Once the arrival of the breadsticks and menus, Mote insisted on his friends erecting a menu enclosure for him around the table. So he could enjoy the breadsticks. To which the moteling was shot down by Alice.
"Tonight, isn't about you blue man. It's about Eary." She said.
Mote ranted a flurry of complaints. Until Maggie assured Mote she would hide away some breadsticks in her bag. The five friend's and the moteling waited patently until their server arrived.
"Hey, how we doing tonight?" An old waitress wearing an all black uniform, and an old grey wig, addressed the table.
The group replied with a polite 'Good' as their server dispersed the menu's and introduced herself. "I'm Gladys, if you kids need anything just let me know."
Eary sat in shock as Gladys had laid a child's menu and crayons before him. "I'm sorry Gladys, what's this?" He lamented. Staring at the precieved insult.
Gladys smiled, "That's your menu sweetie, and some crayons for the puzzles. Did you need more colors?"
Eary sat in shock and shame. Alice immediately chimed in, "My friend is actually sixteen."
Gladys fumbled as she replied, "I'm so sorry. I'll go get you an adult menu." She scooped up Eary's menu and crayons and retreated to the back room.
A faint chuckle could be heard from Eary's shoulder. Quickly, the boy shot back at his mocker, "It's not funny, Mote!" Eary folded is arms in a huff. "I'm 5'4 now, dammit! And almost seventeen. And I've been getting chin hair." 
The girls tried to console their friend. However, the situation grew tense as Decan and Laura walked in and were seated nearby. Before the two could notice, the group erected Mote's menu blockaid, preventing the two from noticing.
Gladys returned moments later with Eary's menu and the breadsticks. She asked, "Did you kids build a little fort over here or something?" 
Alice replied, "Hey Gladys, could you give us a little more time?" 
The waitress looked a bit annoyed as she agreed. Once again, the friends were alone. Mote zoomed into the center of the table. In a frantic pace he downed one breadstick, and quickly grabbed another. Mouth still full, he exclaimed, "That bitch is really tryin' me today. First, the menu's. And now only one thing of breadsticks? Cunt!" 
Eary replied as he ducked behind the menu's, "Agreed. Now hush up, I'm trying to hear what Decan and Laura are saying.
Alice grumbled, "You're not going to hear them from this far away." She stopped and stared in their direction beyond the menu's. "They're also too far away to get a detailed read of their minds."
Mote erupted in excitement as he said, "Let your old pal Mote do some spyin' for ya!" Mote shimmered invisible. As Gladys returned.
"Hey, are you kids ready?" She exclaimed in anticipation.
Mei replied, "We actually are going to need a few more minutes."
Mei was interrupted by the growingly disgruntled waitress, "I don't know if you kids can tell, but it's a pretty busy night here."
Alice's tone shifted as she interrupted Gladys, "Look, lady. I understand you've got tables, I've been there. But my friend is having a hard night, and it just got worse."
