Lowkey made it a bit different from the wattpad version, I don't have any experience in working in a cafe.
Wattapad version | NEXT MATCH >
You woke up to your pillow on top of your face, and the sun already rising. You heard your alarm still ringing, enough to make you get out of bed and walk over to your desk just to turn off your alarm.
It was exactly 5:30 am, probably still enough for you to scroll a bit or watch more metal cardbots before going to work...
You live in an apartment that's close to the cafe, at least you don't have to spend your money a lot on getting taxis just to get to your workplace.
Anyway, you already bathed and dressed up in your uniform, making sure you look pleasant around customers and co-workers...
You only made a simple toast with an egg on top of it, and yeah, some coffee.
You didn't really think much but making it to the cafe before getting startled at the sound of a orange dump truck passing by with a police car chasing after it.
And they look oddly similar somehow...
'Could it be...? No- it's probably just some coincidence.'
You brushed it off continuing to walk to the cafe, making it and you only see 2 of your co-workers
"Wow 'N', you're...earlier than usual." Nancy, your co-worker, said "what's wrong with me being early? Not like I'm gonna be late 24/7" You said, putting your stuff in your locker, except your phone that you keep in your pocket "Where's the others? Why's there only the two of you?"
"Isn't this a bit too early to ask that? We only have an hour left before we open." Your other co-worker, Hans replied "I guess so." You look at your phone to see it was 6:35, half an hour left before opening
"By the way-" "That hans slipped in front of a customer? Yeah I knew that." You said before feeling a hand on your head, ruffling your hair almost aggressively "KNEW? what do you mean you knew?! We're you a witness!?"
"Says the one who slipped over nothing-!" You barked grabbing Hans hands before noticing another co-worker coming in Standing awkwardly at you and Hans bickering "...did I miss something...?" Carole, the co-worker that just stepped in said "Nope! Just in time!" Nancy reassured, glancing back at you and hans "stop fighting! I have something to talk about!"
Hans stopped messing up your hair and started to whistle like he didn't do anything, while you glare at him just for messing up your hair, Nancy then spoke "ahem- anyway, wanna hangout tomorrow when boss is starting to renovate this place? Tomorrow is free right?"
"Ehh, to be honest I can't really leave my grandma alone for a second..." Carole excused, you remembered when the three of you (you, Nancy, and Hans) went to carole's house and her grandma kept insisting on cooking despite the state she's in "bummer...we'll make sure we can grab something for you!" Nancy frowned before giving another reassurance
Hans pulled out his phone feeling his phone vibrating "How about we start preparing to open up now? It's almost time for us to open this cafe." Hans reminded "it was about to get good! But fine..."
You all started to clean up the cafe, making sure it was at least clean and pleasant.
And of course it wouldn't be a cafe without some complaints... And this time it was a very shitty complaint that you can't help but ask whatever God is listening what did you do to deserve this.
"My coffee has a fly in it! I want a refund!" A customer complained, of course, of course some typical complaint that you see a lot.
But the fly looked like it was intentionally "flew" in there or maybe the fact that the fly looks fake, but you decide to play along because it'd be mad funny. "...just get rid of it? Was it in there the first place or?" The customer then dramatically gasped "you don't get it! This fly is... A disgusting thing! It's ruining my drink!"
You swore you just felt your eye twitching.
You then grabbed a spoon, picking the "fly" Up and then getting rid of it by swinging the spoon roughly, probably landing somewhere in the floor
"Take it or leave it." You slide the cup gently to the customer, as they look at you frustratingly "i still want a refund-!" The customer then stopped yapping feeling a hand on their shoulder, it was nancy. "you heard them. Take it or leave it?"
The customer let out a tiny "tch." Taking the coffee with them while sitting back at their table
"Is... Everything okay? I heard complaining." Carole asks, coming out from the kitchen "it's nothing." You assured. Carole nods then goes back to the kitchen, back to making customer orders.
Hans leaned back on a random chair, stretching himself and letting out a sigh "finally! Im fucking exhausted with walking back and forth..."
"By the way, where do we hangout? You said you wanna hangout right?" You ask, looking at Nancy "uhh.." Nancy thinks for a moment "how about the milky Way? I heard their burgers are delicious! Although it's a bit far from here so we'll have to meet there, we'll meet at 10 am."
For a second, you choked on your saliva, you felt like your heart skipped a beat hearing that familiar name, you were about to tell yourself that "oh, What if it just a restaurant that has a similar name!" But then again the moment nancy mentioned burgers, your guts are telling you that it is THE milky Way from metal cardbot.
Is this even a coincidence anymore? No? Ok.
"Are you okay?" Nancy asks, looking concerned "yep- *cough cough* I'm fine." You reassured, still coughing a little "alright... So milky Way it is!" Nancy started packing things from her locker, bringing the stuff that she left in the locker back. "Welp, see you guys tomorrow!" Nancy then exits the cafe, leaving only you and hans.
"...i should be going too." You then started packing up too from your locker, the inside of your locker is... Interesting? Some Cologne/perfume to cover up bad smell or scent, a change of clothes because who knows?
"Geez, you brought all that just to let them rot in the locker?" Hans commented, peeking at the inside of your locker "shut up Hans! It's just in case okay?"
"Look, you're already fine alright? You don't need to keep your cologne/perfume in the locker, you're a people pleaser just for looking attractive or at least good in front of people." Hans said, but you ignore him as you were almost done anyway packing up the one from your locker anyway.
"I'm going alright? I'll see you at the...milky way." You said, carrying your tote bag and exiting the cafe. Hans giving you a wave and a simple "bye"
What did you do to deserve this? Surely you didn't ask for your favorite series to-
"Man, I wish metal cardbots were real."
...but you did NOT meant that literally. And being included in the plot too? WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO OTHER THAN CONTINUING YOUR LIFE.
Sure you can probably just interfere and save the cast from dying or something but how? You're not even close to the cast AND jun plus, you're an grown ass adult.
You're lying down on bed, and what are you doing? Doomscrolling. Probably seeing the news at the same time or something.
Since that you're in the metal cardbot universe...why not try searching for it on google?
ANDDDDD nothing. Literally.
Some online shop? Nothing.
It kept getting you to some random robot toys, sure you like transformers but that's not what you're looking for.
And so, you gave up. Giving in into waking up into a whole new universe that fate decided to place you in.
You didn't get to buy those sembo figures and the big ones...sighh...
And so you just sleep, getting the rest you need for tomorrow... And maybe what ever is waiting for you
You woke up to the sound of your alarm again, and then some messages left by nancy
insert milky way location
Just in case you don't know where it is!"
To be honest, you're glad that you're given the location... You don't even know where it is.
And of course, you do the usual routine, Bath, dress up, and have breakfast.
There was still some time left before you have to go to the milky Way, but you can't just keep scrolling so you did what you rarely do...
Yeah maybe it's nice outside.
You don't even know where you wanna start...
Maybe some arcade? Nah, you doubt there's some opening that early. Some coffee? You don't feel like coffee again...
You could probably do a grocery but uhh... Nah...
Now you're just standing there like someone's lost kid, great.
Maybe you should just walk to the milky Way and then wait at the bench.
And you saw none of your co-workers.
There was still a bit of time anyway, and you have nothing to do but check some messages...
Maybe you should text them you're already at the milky Way?
You texted them you're already at the milky way, like the guy Hans is, he begged you to order for them. So you agreed, you didn't want to wait outside for too long or people might think something bad or get the wrong Idea.
Sigh... Well I guess here goes nothing.
EXTRA a/n : I was gonna do like the whole ep 2 too... But I don't know how to write it so I just end it there, also I don't really have any writing motivation anymore prob gonna do some hcs of the cardbots + humans (platonically) with ts reader
