The sign was dirty, but Jaimie was intrigued. He had never heard of the place before. Therefore, he decided to check it out. When he walked in the door, he felt a rush of cool air. It was hotter outside than he was used to, and this was a nice break.<br><br>When he walked deeper, he saw a door. He had just passed through a door. Now there was another in front of him. He was confused, but he shrugged and opened it. <br><br>On the other side of the door, it was cold. The air was sweet. It smelled like sugar, but hotter. There was a counter in front of him, and a dragon stood behind it. It was wearing a white apron, and a red bow tie. It was a bit dirty, and the dragon washed its claws in the sink, then greeted him. <br><br>“Welcome to the most visited restaurant on Earth. Please, stay awhile. A nice meal is in order.” <br><br>The dragon gestured towards the table, and a menu stood up. The dragon handed Jaimie the menu. <br><br>“Order where you will.” <br><br>The dragon gestured towards the clean counter, then washed its claws again. <br><br>Jaimie looked at the menu, then at the dragon. “How does this place stay so clean?” It was the cleanest restaurant he had ever visited. <br><br>The dragon smiled. “It just does.” <br><br>Jaimie looked at the dragon, then at the menu. “Could you tell me what your most common orders are?” <br><br>The dragon smiled. “The number one most common is chicken wings, the second most common is steak, and the third most common is a cheese hamburger. Third is the one I would recommend.” <br><br>Jaimie was confused. Something was off. He decided to try the cheese hamburger. He ordered it, and the dragon smiled. <br><br>“You made a great choice.” <br><br>The dragon went over to a door, and Jaimie followed him. On the other side of the door, it was hot. So hot that Jaimie couldn’t see anything at all. The dragon opened a door, and he went into a room. Jaimie heard the door close behind them, but he couldn’t see anything. The dragon told him to sit on the floor, and he fell onto the cool ground. <br><br>“Thank you.”<br><br>“This is the kitchen. Sit anywhere.” <br><br>Jaimie heard a steak sizzling. He heard a sauce being mixed. He heard the sound of a cheese grater, and a series of boiling sounds, like water boiling, then tea. <br><br>“You may get up now.” <br><br>Jaimie got up, stretched, then followed the dragon through the door. On the other side, the air was cool again. He could see everything. <br><br>The dragon handed him a cheese hamburger. He opened the bun, and saw a patty, lettuce, cheese, and tomato. He took a bite, and it was the best thing he had ever eaten. The dragon watched him take the bite. <br><br>“Did I not tell you that was the best thing on the menu?” <br><br>Jaimie nodded. <br><br>The dragon looked at him. “Thank you. You made my day.” <br><br>Jaimie finished his meal, then left. He walked out of the restaurant, and back onto the street. He looked back at the sign, and it was different. <br><br>*And thank you. Come back anytime.* <br><br>He smiled, and walked away.
