(Clara’s point of view) “Goliath can I ask you for a favor?” He gets really excited. “Absolutely! Anything in the world you want, sweetheart.” “Could we go out to eat with Jack and Wendy since they will be busy turning Wendy for a few days.” “I don’t see any reason we can’t go to lunch. We should be back in time for the party.” He picks me up and spins me around. “Why are you so happy?” “You are asking me for something and letting me spoil you. I can’t wait to give you everything, Clara.” I shake my head in disbelief and give him a smile. “Goliath what is going to happen with Wendy anyways? How does turning a human into a werewolf work?” “It is a bit more clinical now than it was in the earlier times, but basically Jack’s wolf will inject her with venom through a bite. She will then spend about 2 days and nights in a monitored coma. The moon goddess will give her a wolf during this time, and when she wakes up, she will get to meet her.” “Wow that sounds scary.” “I promise it is perfectly safe.” “Well let’s go get those love birds and hit the road.” He gives my butt a slap, making me squeal and run ahead of him. “Where do you want to go to eat anyways?” He asks. “It will be a surprise! I will drive.” “You can drive?” 20 minutes later, we are packed into the car, and Goliath seems more nervous than ever with me behind the wheel. “So I just keep driving this direction, and then we will appear on the other side?” “Yup just take it easy.” He says, holding on the door handle, bracing himself like I am going to crash. “Will you relax? I am a good driver.” I get into town and make my way to my dream. “Wait a minute. I know where we are going!” Wendy says excitedly. I pull up to the restaurant and park. “Fat Eddie’s Fat burger? Why did you want to come here?” Goliath asks. “She is going to live out her dream and beat Fat Eddie’s super burger challenge. “ Wendy says, patting my shoulder. “What’s the challenge? “ “A 3 pound burger, basket of fries and a large thick chocolate shake. If you eat it all in 30 minutes, you get $500 a free meal and bragging rights.” I say, rubbing my very hungry tummy. Goliath let’s out a long sigh. “ Okay, Clara, have fun, but don’t make yourself sick.” “I promise I won’t.” I grab his hand and walk into the place. It is a very interesting sort of place. It looks like a diner, but there are a bunch of news clippings and history about the restaurant and their challenge posted all over the walls. I look up on the wall and see pictures of people who won. Ever since I heard about the challenge, I have thought about doing it. I couldn’t afford the meal if I didn’t finished it so I never tried. Now I could eat for days and my hunger is getting stronger every hour. I basically ate this much last night at dinner, so I have some confidence. We walk up to the hostess stand, and there is a sweet lady with big hair smiling at us. “Hello would any of y’all like to try the challenge, or would you just like to be seated?” Goliath pulls me in front of him. “She is here for the challenge, but the rest of us are just here for lunch.” “Awwe you sweet little thing?” I shake my head yes, feeling a bit shy. “Well go ahead and sit with your friends, darling, and I will come get you when the food is out.” We sat for about 20 minutes, Wendy and I chatted while the guys soaked up our presents. Since it is risky talking about werewolf related things in public, we talked about our business and how we can’t wait to start it. I look up to see a guy in a cowboy hat coming up to us. “I heard a little miss was looking to beat our famous Fat Eddie’s burger challenge. “ “That’s me!” I am actually about to starve to death, so I am glad to get started. “Before we get you started, I would like to go over the rules. Okay?” “Okay.” I say, feeling impatient. “Once you start, you can’t use the bathroom, and you can not throw up, or you will be disqualified. You must finish every bite before the timer goes off in order to complete the challenge. Do you understand and agree with the terms?” “Yes I just have one question. “ “Go ahead.” “Can I also have a pitcher of water added or at least a glass?” He stops for a second to think. “I don’t see why not. Sure, I will have one brought out to you.” “Thank you.” I go and sit down at the table with my food. I think they make you sit alone so you don’t try to cheat and give some of it to other people. “Ladies and gents, we have a competitor here tonight. She will have exactly 30 minutes to consume a burger with 3 one pound patties, a basket of fries, and a large chocolate shake.” I feel all eyes on me, and I start to feel a little nervous.
