"You're buying lunch with a silver coin?" Hikaru asks. "That'll make their day. Where's the box with the shotgun shells?"

"If one silver coin will pay for all of our meals, then why not use the silver coin? The box is in the camper you ladies slept in, should be in the box behind and under the rear seat. Just push the cushion forward and the whole thing will fold over to the floor. You might have to pull on the release belt on either side of the bench seat."

Jeanette unlocks the side door of the camper, opens the box, retrieves a one ounce silver coin, closes the box, closes the side door and locks it. She places the coin in her purse that came with the Red Riding Hood inspired EMT uniform.
 
Inside the dimly lit establishment, Jeanette repositions her tinted goggles on her head and looks around.
 
The floor is concrete. Half of it is bare with indications it was tiled. The rest is covered with linoleum. The place has some old booths, picnic tables and non-matching tables and chairs. There's a counter where the order is placed and people working behind it.
 
Jeanette sees the sign for the girl's bathroom. "We need to wash our hands first."
 
Inside the bathroom are sinks and a bar of soap but no towels or a hand dryer. Jeanette removes her black leather gloves and places them inside her cape. Elsa removes her white cotton gloves.
 
As Jeanette is air-drying her hands, Elsa turns off the faucet. Jeanette looks at the frost-covered faucet but does not verbalize what she's thinking. If sterilization can be done by freezing, Elsa's power can come in handy.
 
At the counter, Jeanette lays down the silver coin. "Two adults and four children."
 
The man at the counter picks up the coin. It's one ounce of Swiss silver. "What do you want to drink with your meals? We have root beer, lemonade, tea and water."
 
Jeanette and Danielle ask for root beer, Chihiro and Elsa ask for tea.

"I'll have root beer." Hikaru says.
 
The man at the counter looks at Fernando. "What do you want to drink?"

Jeanette looks about the establishment as Fernando makes his decision. "The seats at the booths don't look safe to sit on. How about we sit at one of the mix-matched tables?"

"Have a seat." The man at the counter says. "And we'll have your drinks right out."
 
They find a wooden table to sit at. From the style, it's around a hundred-years-old if not older.
 
A woman brings out a round tray with six drinks on it. "Who ordered what?"
 
"The blonde girl and I ordered tea." Chihiro says.
 
The waitress serves the tea to Chihiro and Elsa.
 
"The other Japanese girl, the teen with the hat and I ordered root beer. The gentleman asked for water." Jeanette says.
 
The waitress servers the rest of the drinks. "You're fish and chips will be right out." She leaves.
 
Jeanette takes a sip of her root beer. "It's different but good."

Hikaru takes a sip of her root beer. "They use a recipe with honey. Sugar has to be shipped so it's more expensive whereas there's probably a beekeeper in every settlement. I don't make root beer so I don't know the honey to sugar ratio."

The waitress returns with everyone's meal. Hikaru and the children get one piece of fried fish. Jeanette and Fernando get two pieces. "Let me know when you need more." The waitress leaves.
 
Danielle leads the prayer.
 
Elsa places the cloth napkin in her lap and picks up the eating utensils. Frost forms on them as she uses them.

"Chihiro, Danielle, Elsa," Jeanette begins, "the Miss Miller you know is the older version of me. I'm from the past, will return and eventually I will become the Miss Miller you know, someone who already knows this world. She's in Charlton as I speak. I've been in this world for less than twenty-four hours and I have a lot to learn about it. The fact you know the older me is promising since you are already familiar with me."
 
"Miller-san," Chihiro has at least a limited concept of time manipulation since she is not from her time, "your older self recently came to Old School and set up the nurse's office. The Spirits repaved some of the streets and fixed up Old School. The South Campus looks like a castle with a snowflake theme. There are giant snowflake patterns etched in the glass doors, snowflakes in the stain glass windows and a snowflake in the floor of the main hall. The South Campus also has two flagpoles. The second flag pole is for the Arendelle flag as the princess of Arendelle lives there." Though it was not intentional, Chihiro did the right thing by not mentioning there is a princess sitting here in this eating establishment. "A princess in a castle, just like in books."
 
"You read a lot?" Jeanette asks.
 
"Yes." Chihiro answers.
 
"Chihiro," Jeanette continues, "about that song you sang. I recognize the tune as 'Country Roads' sang by John Denver. I did not recognize the new lyrics."
