untitled for now ;)

Audry's spotless purple convertible rolled up to the little window. She cranked a lever, and the glass separating her from her sushi takeout lowered. The little Japanese man at the opening put on a fake smile . "How may I help you?" He asked, in a funny little accent. Audry suppressed a laugh and gasped for breath. The man's smile looked strained.
I would like a rice cake, the jumbo shrimp and sushi platter....oh, and a Diet Dr. Pepper." She said, after she had composed herself.
"Right away, please drive to the next station." He answered, his smile never wavering. Not bothering to close the window, Audry could already taste the delicious seaweed sheets they threw in with the combo meals. She reached out of the car to grab the grease stained bag with her late night dinner in it.
"It feels pretty light," she thought to herself.
She looked inside the bag and found they had forgotten her Diet Dr. Pepper. "Hello?!" She called, annoyed. Audry leaned out of her car and called again. "Hey! You forgot something!" Suddenly the woman who had handed Audry her food appeared at the window. She gave Audry a cold glare. "Ya, you guys forgot my drink-" The woman cut her off by slamming the window shut.
"Hey!" Audry called angrily, she leaned out farther and pounded on the window, shouting for the woman.
Finally, when an impatient driver behind her had honked her horn at least a dozen times, Audry sat back in the seat, buckled her seat belt, and drove out of the drive through line. The woman that had been behind Audry glared as she passed by her car. Audry gave her an apologitic smile.
"They forgot my ddrink." Audry called as she exited the parking lot. The woman rolled her eyes.
