Meanwhile at Les Moutons where you will find the greatest food made with the freshest pig spleens...

It is just another day for Alexandra Restauranter. More food to cook, more people to serve, more fake smiles to smile and more dreams to dream. Although today she has something else to think about – not hitting the giant glittering diamond that sits on her finger whilst doing the dishes. That would be a disaster. Although the mutants in the sewer would be reasonably pleased.
Alexandra clears a table, piling plate upon plate, creating a tower of china that is ready to crash to the floor at the hint of any surprise/scare/shock/horror/giggle. As she does so, she tells herself that her decision to marry Carlos Richman, the richest man in Harbour Town, was definitely a good idea. Carlos has lots of money and he can pay for a good education for young, nerdish Luke, as well as a new pair of super thick glasses to replace the pair Luke stepped on the other day. And Carlos isn't that bad a bloke. All the women want him, so why shouldn't she?
Alexandra looks up from her table clearing, her arm stacked with perfectly unbroken plates as she hears a laughing couple enter the restaurant.
Alexandra and the man lock eyes and then watch as all of those plates fall to the floor. Many a gasp is heard. Many a gasp.

Previously on The PC...

Lisa Treehugger and Jordan Outsider have become the best of friends. Despite their obvious attraction for one another, both are happy to remain just as friends. Isn't that nice?
Anyway, Lisa and Jordan stroll down the street toward Harbour Town's most popular eating spot, Les Moutons, chatting and laughing as they go. Baby lambs and giant squid follow them down the street as cartoon horses and pigs sing "It's a jolly holiday with Lisa!" Both of them have forgotten their worries, their problems, their itchy feet, their diets as they reach the door.
"Oh please, ladies first," says Jordan, ever the gentleman.
"No, no, please! After you," says Lisa, ever the feminist.
There is excess laughter for a not so funny event and Jordan goes through first and as his eyes adjust to the dimmed lighting he looks around the room and takes it all in. He is impressed by the furnishings, the lights, the music, the faint smell of sheep.
"Oh, there she is," says Lisa excitedly. "Come on, I'll introduce you to the owner of this rockin' joint."
Jordan has already seen her and walks towards Alexandra slowly. The sound of those plates breaking is just as deafening from Jordan's point of view as it was from Alexandra's.
