"So what do we do now?" Asked Perseus.
"We wait." Said Thor, kicking back in one of the chairs.
Perseus shrugged and sat down. About a minute later, a small rectangle thing popped out of the ceiling. Perseus sat up, interested. Suddenly, it started to produce light and images. Perseus jumped about a foot in the air and tried to get as far away from it as possible. It then started to produce sound. Music such as Perseus had never heard before.
"It is a TV, Perseus." Said Thor.
Perseus settled down and started watching. He soon became sucked into the images on the screen. It felt like his eyes were glued to it. He tried to pull them away, but then, someone on the screen did something funny and Perseus laughed.
He finally tore his eyes away and soon realized that something was wrong.
"Where's Mau'i?" Asked Perseus.
"Zzz." Was the reply.
Perseus got up, panicked. He started looking around the small room, but couldn't find Mau'i anywhere.
"Thor!" Perseus yelled in Thor's ear.
Thor's reply was to brush him away like a fly. Perseus landed on the floor. He tried to take Thor's hammer. The thing wouldn't budge. Perseus decided to take desperate measures to find Mau'i.
Just then, the door opened. Mau'i walked in with a tray heaped with food. He was in the process of stuffing a little golden rod in his mouth, when he saw Perseus staring at him.
"Did you want a french fry?" He asked.
Perseus just stared. Mau'i started to look uncomfortable.
"I was hungry...." He mumbled.
Perseus snapped out of his daze.
"Give me that." He said, snatching the french fry from Mau'i's still outstretched hand.
He stuck it in his mouth, then suddenly took the tray from Mau'i and started shoveling french fries in his mouth as fast as he could.
"Now I have to get more." Complained Mau'i.
He walked out of the room again, and Perseus followed him. Mau'i walked over to a place brightly lit up, and went inside. Perseus noted vaguely that there was a bunch of Ms everywhere. Mau'i walked over to a counter with a lady behind it.
"Hi, welcome to Macbeth's, what would you like to order?" Asked the lady.
"I would like a large root beer, some large french fries, and a large meal fit for a king." Said Mau'i.
He looked at Perseus.
"What would you like?" He asked.
"I'll have what he's having." Perseus said.
The lady smiled and went into a door that was behind the counter. She came back about five minutes later, with trays heaped with food.
"Here are your orders." She said.
They sat at a table and started wolfing the food down.
"Good, right?" Asked Mau'i.
Perseus nodded, his mouth full of food.
"I love this place." Said Mau'i.
