You open the door to Gar's Bodega. Your heart pounded as you walked in. A pink haired girl sat at the counter, and looked up at you.
"Ah! You must be Y/N! Hi, I'm Enid." She leaned her head on her hand.
"Uh, hi! Nice to meet you Enid! I am here for the job application." You replied.
"Oh yeah. Just go talk to Mr. Gar. His office is over there." Your throat clenched. Mr. Gar. The most important man in the plaza. You trembled as you knocked on the door. It swung open immediately.
"What?!" He shouted. You flinched.
"Oh. Y/N. Early. Based on your resume, I wouldn't have expected that." You looked at the ground as he wove your sad excuse for a resume around.
"Uh, I just decided to come early. I had nothing else to do, sir." You replied politely.
"Hm. Okay. Let's sit down, shall we?" You sat down, and started to sweat.
"So Y/N, what would you say your greatest strength is?"
"My greatest strength is...probably stealth?" You thought. "I can move pretty quick". You smiled awkwardly. He looked at you thoughtfully.
"Okay. And weakness?" He asked.
"Confined spaces. I am super claustrophobic" You squirmed in your seat. He checked a box, and looked up at you.
"You're hired. You start tomorrow on delivery. When you are not delivering, you can help out here." He said. You smiled.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Mr. Gar!" You yelled. "You won't regret it, I promise!" He nodded, and you walked out.
~Next Day~
You slipped on the blue vest and name tag that you got the day prior. You smiled as you looked in the mirror. You were an official employee! You hopped on your bike, and rode to work. You got there around 11:00 A.M. You waltzed in, and sat your bag down in the back room. Then the phone rang. You heard Enid pick it up, and speak to the person on the other end. You heard the phone get set down, and you ran out.
"Oh, Y/N. There you are. We just got a call for a delivery. Sounded like a little girl. She said she was at the old factory." Enid said, looking at her phone. "She ordered some Gro' a Sidekick, 48 cans of Super Spray, 9 gallons of ice cream, and like, 20 Robo Arms."
"What?! That's a lot of stuff for one bike!" You said. Just then, A little boy and a large blue-green alien walked in. "Hi Enid! Hi... Oh! Who are you?" The little boy asked.
"Yeah, I don't think I have seen her here before, are you working here now?" The alien asked.
"Oh, this is Y/N. She works delivery. She will probably help us out here too." Enid said, gesturing towards you.
"Hi! I'm K.O., and this is Rad! We both work here too!" The boy said. You smiled.
"Nice to meet you both! I look forward so working with you!" They nodded, and you grabbed a wagon from the back. You attached it to your bike, put all of the items in the wagon. Now you were ready for your first delivery. You sped off, looking around for the factory. After a few minutes, you spotted it. It looked old and broken down, like nobody lived in it. You pulled your bike into the "driveway" and parked it. You pulled the wagon up to the large doors, and knocked reluctantly. You heard a child's voice from inside.
"Hey! Boss! The delivery is here!" The voice was followed by a much deeper one.
"I heard! I will get it." The locks shook, and came undone. The door slid open. A tall, slender, purple tinted man opened the door. He stopped for a second, put his hand to his chin and smiled at you. His slanted eyes moved up your body, seemingly studying you. You blushed.
"Uh..I have your delivery." You stuttered.
"Ah yes. Please bring it inside." He finally spoke. You grabbed the wagon handle, and struggled to pull it all inside. Suddenly, a small child jumped on you.
"INTRUDER!" She yelled. You yelped, and the man pulled her off of you.
"Fink, that is no way to treat a guest." He said, scolding her.
"Uh.. it's fine." You replied, trying to piece together who this man was.
"Oh, so you do speak?" He asked, looking up from Fink, smiling. You nodded, unsure of what to do.
"Well, leave the stuff right there, how much do I owe you?" He cooed.
"That will be 300 technos, Sir."
"Please, call me V." He said, handing you some wads of paper bills.
"Okay. Thank you Mr. V, have a nice day." You said as you walked out. You blushed deeply the minute you got out. God he was handsome. You desperately hoped you would get to deliver for him again. You looked down at the money, and noticed a note.
"Call me if you need
another job.
- Prof. V"
