"Well buddy, since you're injured I'll try to cheer you up a little. Since I'm going to leave you in the very capable hands of the doc. Those potatoes you won for me to make some booze, I'm going to make you the best booze I can from it. You can choose to sell it back to my parents or keep it for a special occasion, but it's all going to be yours when it's done. Consider it a consolation prize for surviving a crazy hog." Frank says cheerfully. "First I need to drop off my prizes I've already won at the bar. Oh, just so you know Johnny it'll be top a top shelf bottle when I'm done." He starts to brag a little. "Oh before i forget to ask one of my prizes was a dinner and a tour at Lord Stein's. Do you feel like going with me? Not really sure anyone else would want to go. I can also lend you some nice clothes since we'd be going to someplace fancy." After making sure Johnny is okay Frank drops off what he needs at the bar and changes back into non-greasy clothes for his second run.

Upon leaving the bar, he sees the Brad fail on the jump to the cargo net; eliminating him. Teddy is with Vi, already getting ready for his stage two run. Steve, May and Sam arrive, from the direction of where the horse races were, to support Steve's upcoming run as well. Three dozen stage two competitors exist, however, many are voted to not succeed, including Frank. Steve is most likely to succeed. Many of them stretching and eating high energy snacks to get ready. Frank knows better. Eating will just add more weight and every ounce means the difference between tiring out and pressing on.

Frank will start by doing some calisthenics to warm up while waiting. Because he read somewhere that, it causes less stress on the muscles while warming them up than stretching does, and stretching can cause micro tears that lead to muscle weakness.

He notices Teddy warming up, much like a boxer would. He then notices Steve jumping and stretching out, balancing on each foot with his eyes closed and twisting his torso. The guy has incredible balance.

Remembering the gift card he just won for the Bison Stampede he's on his way to get some good food. "Hey Johnny, you hungry? I definitely am after that. I mean damn, I have never done anything that hard. If I don't get some calories in me I might pass out." He says jokingly. "Since I got that gift card I figure i can use that for food and save my money for some fruit that I want to add to some drinks later." Frank then checks to see how much money he has on him still.

He finds seventeen credits in his wallet, not including the five credits that his parents are holding onto for him. Upon reaching the Bison Stampede, it's festival lunch rush is dying down, meaning service may be slow at first, but will pick up not long after. Heather, the owner of the restaurant, walks out with a grin for both boys. "Frank and Johnny! What are you two rascals doing today?"

"Well, Johnny tried to get eaten by the greased hog." Frank says playfully. "I've somehow made it past the second stage of the obstacle course. Ooo, and I won a gift card for here from the human piñata event." Frank looks around the place. "I need some meat to refuel after the obstacle course, and here seems the best place to do that."

Johnny unconsciously touches where Dr. Lewis had patched him up. Heather perks at the mention of the gift card, "Well! Would you boys like quality over quantity? We have some nice ribeyes that I've been excited to make. They're ten credits per plate and come with potatoes, however you want them. It also comes with choice of vegetables and our famous streusel strawberry pie! Not to mention our beef barley soup or a salad." She then holds up her finger, "Or I could make our famous double cheeseburger sliders for three credits each. They come with french fries and a milkshake."

Frank looks over at Johnny before saying, "We'll take two of those quality meals please. For my potatoes I'll have them mashed and I'll have the soup instead of the salad. How about you Johnny how do you want you taters?.

"I'll take the salad, with ranch, over the soup and I want my steak medium rare. For potatoes, I'd like tots." He happily declares. Frank swears that he's having the best day of his life. Maybe he is. Johnny has never had as much as other kids his age. He's always taking the leftovers or going without.

The beef barley soup and salad with several dipping cups of ranch arrive almost immediately. Shortly after, a thick milkshake and a soda arrive, which Frank is almost certain is a batch of soda that he's made.

The crowd seems to be dispersing again as Megana's steeplechase race is about to start. Another patron enters the restaurant. He's got dyed blonde hair and a sour demeanor, slightly older than Frank and Johnny, as he approaches the counter. The guy checks his wallet and sighs as he stares up at the menu. Eventually, Heather notices and asks, "What can I get you today?"

"How much for a steak?" he asks.

"They're ten credits and come with..." Heather answers.

"Just the steak." He interrupts.

"I suppose I could reduce it to six credits." she retorts.

"Oh hell, sorry for wasting your time." He says as he heads for the door while glancing at what Frank and Johnny have.

Frank looks up at the guy before asking, "How much are you short buddy? I can cover what you're short, and before you think it's charity.... I'm not out anything because it's a prize I won from one of the events. However if you would prefer to wait a little the greased hog is going to be cooked after a bit and it's for everyone since this guy and I couldn't catch it before it tried to eat him." He says while gesturing to Johnny.
