Lilac: 'So we went to a restaurant and I immediately smelled something burning. or on fire. hopefully just burning...'

Carla: is the soup up? why do I smell burning?! Can someone for the love of god tell me the hells happening in that kitchen?!

Lilac: Hi Carla! we were about to grab you for a makeover-

Francis: but I can't help but feel like this is a bad time...

/black smoke is now coming from the kitchen/

Lilac: *eyes widen* I'll go put that out while you 4 talk... *grabs fire extinguisher and gas mask then goes into the smoking kitchen*

Derek: Probably a good idea.

Carla: im sorry. it's just... I've been trying to build my dream come true restaurant. but nothings going to plan! I've been a head chef for years, but owning a restaurant is much more stressful!

Lilac; *saying from the kitchen trying to speak over the fire* and that's why we're here! your sous chef Jeannie nominated you!

Carla: what did she say?

Gigi: your sous chef Jeannie nominated you for a makeover. She says she worked with you for a long time and never saw you take a single minute for yourself!

Carla: Jeannie did that? hun... it's very nice of her, but I dont know if I have time for one

Lilac: You do. it'll take a few hours for all this stuff to cool down enough to where another fire won't break out! besides Derek is going to help rebuild the place.

Derek: What?

Lilac; let's be honest you were going to do that anyway.

Derek: *chuckles* yeah. I like fixing things!

Gigi: And I'll help with giving you self-confidence you need to make this a success!

Lilac: so whatcha say?

Carla: I'd say that sounds like a dream come true!

Derek: Then let's buckle up! because that's exactly what's happening right now!

Greta: *comes in and looks* do people actually eat here or do they just come for food poisoning

Lilac: We all know that's not true! mostly because it's you saying it!

Carla: No ones ever gotten sick from my food!

Lilac: *comes out slightly charred* she's right if you disregard the inferno that was just there a few minutes ago it's practically sterile. especially now. dont think many germs could survive that. or this cutting board *holding a melted cutting board*

Greta: how can you all be so sure when you're spending only half your time in the kitchen cooking steak? the rest is checking the register!

Carla: UGH! She's right. I've been pulling myself in two different directions for too long!

Gigi: that's why we brought lilac! a new look for you and the restaurant could be your big break.

Lilac: We could get another head chief of manager to help. *muttering plans*

Carla: Well that sounds better then being frustrated by feelings of being lost and disorganized every single day.

Greta: let's hope this is fresher then your ingredients! *leaves*

Lilac: *throws roasted tomato at her as she leaves*

Greta: MY HAIR! THIS WILL NEVER COME OUT!

Francis: where'd you get that tomato?

Lilac: it was what caused the fire. roasted too long. But Gretas a petty pathetic loser. let's make this place look effortless. and you amazing.

Carla: I like the sound of that! when do we start!?

Francis: when we get to the building and put in an order for a restaurant owner and restaurant! extra fabulousness.

Lilac: and a manager on the side!

/inside the salon/

Francis: I've always wondered Carla... where can I get a hat like that?

Carla; it's easy! just graduated from culinary school

Francis: im a little too busy for that. maybe I could just borrow yours? *grabs it and tosses it to Lilac*

Lilac: oh okay! *catches it*

Francis: let's loosen that hair. *undoes the tie* so tell me a bit about your restaurant Carla.

Carla: believe it or not, it was where I got my first job. From day one I knew that one day eventually I'd own the place. and that's what I did. After 3 years as a head chef, I offered to buy it from the owner.

Lilac; Wow when I started fashion I never dreamed I'd be here of all places.

Carla: and here we are. incredibly stressed out.

Lilac: I'll get the facial masks! *leaves*

/afterward/

Carla: this stuff feels and smells like.... cupcake frosting? you sure this is the right stuff?

Lilac: if it isn't then the crew has a lot of questions to answer...

Francis: no you two it's designed to make skin feel incredible. it smells like that due to cocoa butter and lemon.

Carla: Cut it out you're making me hungry! Hmm.... we should grab some cupcakes after this...

Lilac: no objections here!

/half an hour later/

Francis: let's remove the mask

Carla; my skin feels great but when am I going to be able to do this?

Lilac: getting out of the kitchen and into management? we're getting you a kitchen manager for a reason...

Carla: Right. maybe I could make this daily...

lilac: now let's wash that hair it looks like she's using hair gel...

Francis: *Washes the hair*

Derek: *comes in* looking good so far lilac! but I'll need help at the restaurant so mind helping?

/there/

Derek: what do you think about an open floor plan lilac? maybe putting the kitchen closer to seating?

Lilac; Sounds good plus it'll let Carla see what's happening while greeting guests. because I think we can both agree that anxiety aint going away anytime soon.

Derek: right... let's start clearing things!

/after Removing the paintings/

Lilac: that's one hell of a coffee stain...

/after removing everything else/

Derek: look at that theirs actually a floor underneath all those tables *chuckles*

Lilac: with a couple of loose or missing tiles...

Derek: let's get to work then! you want natural medieval or Scandinavian?

Lilac: Medieval

Team: *works on the floor* what do we do for the walls?

Lilac: what we got?

Derek: Stripes tangerine and oak.

Lilac: tangerine. matches the warm vibe the medieval has. also, let's change the doors and windows. they do not match and look old and tacky. archway please.

Team: *puts them in* and the door?

Lilac: same.

Derek: you know a great door is almost as effective as a warm hello? people are going to be attracted here at first glance

Mailman: mail for lilac creme.

Lilac: thanks *opens* hey it's from Timothy! *reads*

Letter: hey lilac, with all my years fixing up cars at the shop and home and then dreaming about it... my wife made me go to therapy for it. because I started forgetting what fun really was. So thank you and your crew as im happier and never been so relaxed. also thanks for the pamphlet and the man cave. guys night is so much fun. and you helped me with my self-confidence so thanks for cleaning up my act! -timothy

Derek: awh how sweet! now where were we?

Lilac: the roof.

Derek: Right *remakes it out of Bulletproof glass* you know I love natural light getting rid of the fluorescent light makes this place feel a lot more enticing!

Lilac: and I made lights that turn on when it gets too dark.

Gigi: *comes in* This is so much better! but now I need to steal you away lilac!

/inside the wardrobe/

Gigi: time for Carla to get out of the chef's outfit. ready lilac?

Lilac: yeah... *removes chef coat*

Carla: This Outfit is great for the kitchen but when im in front I get mistaken for a waiter!

lilac: Probably because you look like one...

Gigi: Lilac wants to help you embrace your new role as a restaurant owner. let's start with approachable. how do you feel about some softer footwear

Carla: these boots make me feel like the general of the kitchen! leading the charge against hunger! 

Lilac: They're not comfortable at all are they?

Carla: *sighs*  not even a little...

Gigi: why are you nervous carla? 

Carla: ive just spent so much of my life in the kitchen. thats my comfort zone! but  just being a owner??? thats terrifying! what if  i mess up? what if  i cant pay enough attention to everything and it all falls apart!?!

Lilac: *grabs her hands* breathe lady! breathe!  'carla started to hyperventilate so i had to give her a panic relief shot.'

Carla: *takes breathes*

Gigi: have you tried meditation? it may help you cope with all this stress.

Carla: not really... but im willing to give anything a shot at this point.

Gigi: okay now close your eyes and take a few deep breaths

Carla: *takes deep breathes*

Gigi: just keep breathing and imagine your self somewhere calm and serene 

Carla: I see...a beach. its very beautiful here...someones giving me a plate of fruit salad..

Lilac: okay?

Carla: it tastes gross... but I'm asking them kindly to take it back while I take a dip in the water

Lilac: good first attempt.

Gigi: *facepalming* well done. 

Derek: Sorry to interrupt the wellness session but I need lilac back. 

/back at the restaurant/

Derek: time for the fun part! new kitchen with a seating counter! and opening this wall for a patio 

Lilac: hope that's not the load-bearing wall...

Derek: lets put this soffit.  I'm thinking with some greenery!

/after setting that up/

Derek: Ready Lilac: THIS WALLS COMIN DOWN! 

Lilac: *gives thumbs up from outside* GO AHEAD DEREK!

/after the wall's destroyed/

Derek: well taking that wall down was a lot of work.... but the payoff was HUGE!

Lilac: thank god that wasn't loadbearing...

Derek: all this fresh air from the patio is going to help the customers and carla relax! 

Lilac: especially when shes stressed...

/in the background/

Riou: 'hey guys I'm Riou Creme. I'm Lilacs twin brother 

Riou: Yes I know we look almost nothing alike. there's a thing called Fraternal twins different eggs same genes I just happen to look more like my mom then my dad.

Riou: 'Anyways... my sis told me to hire a manager for Carla while she does the makeover with Derek. So I'm at an employment office looking for people who need a job in management. i got a list of what Carla wants.'

/inside the employment office/

Employment worker: So Riou Creme, what are you looking for in an employee?

Riou: well I'm here on someone else's behalf and they gave me a list of what they want for a employee *gives list* 

Employment worker: *reads" "Kitchen manager can help with kitchen dutys help run the kitchen make sure staff are a well-oiled machine. must be friendly but not a pushover. and has to report to the owner regularly." I think we have someone for you... Her names Chai. She just applied here for a management position. *talks into radio*

Jessica: Send in Chai. i found a good job for her.

Derek: What shape of backsplash? Rivers, Diamonds or Cubes?

Lilac: Rivers...

Derek: what about the pots and pans? yellow bronze or candy apple?

Lilac: Candy apple. witch sounds good about now

Derek: Agreed. lets get one after this makeover. 

Lilac: so the white tables would look good with blue umbrellas the bamboo chairs would look good with the counter 

Derek: Okay! 

/after setting the patio and kitchen side chairs up/
