Of Mirrors & Majesties
Chapter 1 - New Boyfriend
"My name is Tristii and this is my best friend Virginia and we live on the edge of the forest… GIGGLE … well, kind of. Virginia's dad's a janitor. That's how they got to live on the edge of Central Park, and me, well, I live with them. And you might think the fact that she still lives with her dad is sad, and, well, you may just be right, but she's all he's got really and me of course, if that counts. And she's kind of permanently between boyfriends…me ,well I've never had one.
We're both just waitresses at the Grill On The Park. But one day Virginia is going to find a partner and start a restaurant of her own. All she needs is a good man, who's interested in food…like there are that aren't. Me, well, I still don't know what I want to do for a living…yet. SIGH"
They both left the apartment. Virginia rolled her bike along and Tristii carried her skateboard.
"Do you see this? Look at this. This has been chewed! This isn't my job, it's an electrician's job." Anthony complained.
"We know." Tristii commented.
"Where are you guys going?"
"To work Dad. Like we do everyday." Virginia answered.
"Umm… On the way back, use the stairs. Just in case."
Snow White Memorial Prison 4th Kingdom, 6:02 P.M
Step, step, step, step The burly security guard turns around, "Who's there?" Nothing. He continues walking, Step, step, step, step, he turned around and…POOF fell to the ground with pink dust covering him.
Outer Provinces 4th Kingdom, 6:03 P.M
"So where exactly are we going?" asked the prince slightly annoyed.
"To Beantown in the southwest corner of your kingdom sir. You're accepting the thrown the craftsman there made for your coronation." Giles explained.
"Well is it much further can't me stop and go hunting or something?"
"Very shortly sir. We must make a short stop at the Snow White memorial prison."
"Uhh…SIGH I hate these outer provinces. The people are just so common."
"Your stepmother applied for parole again…which we will of course turn down. It is simply a routine courtesy visit."
"You're pathetic. You call yourselves trolls? You make me ashamed!"
"Sorry Dad." said a troll man.
"Sorry Dad." apologized a troll woman.
"It wont happen again." said a shorter troll man.
"This is the last time I come and rescue you." warned the troll dad.
"Come on Dad, take off the magic shoes." whined the first troll man.
"I can handle them." he slipped off an elaborate pair of gold shoes with many beads and jewels and crowns at the tips.
SPARK "Do you know what I'm starting to think, Anthony started, "I'm starting to think that only people who run this country are guys like me… you know, guys who will work for scraps, do six jobs, and basically bend over ad take it. This country is finished as a democracy!" Virginia and Tristii both nodded, "I'm telling you as a caring society, where people do things for each other. We're done. We're finished. We are out of here!"
"Your barbeque ribs are on top of the microwave." Virginia reminded.
"Tony, I have been calling this elevator for the past half-hour! I thought you fixed it."
"I did sir, but it's broken again." Anthony answered.
"Well don't take all night on it. You've still got to fix that boiler. It's driving everybody crazy. There's air in the pipes. The whole system's got to be drained and blazed." The owner of the building ordered.
"Yes sir. Of course sir. I just gotta fix the leak in number 9 and then I'm right on it." Anthony replied. All the while Virginia glared at the man and Tristii had a kind of nervous/scared expression.
"Tony, I am only going to tell you this once… There are an awful lot of people out there who would love your job. An awful lot of people!"
"Yes sir." DING The owner and his son stepped off the elevator. "Drain the system. I'd like to drain his system." Anthony whispered angrily. Virginia and Tristii also step out of the elevator.
"Bye, Daddy."
"Bye, Anthony."
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh don't go through the park. Listen--"
"Yes Dad, we promise."
"Hey! Hey, what did you fix me for dinner!"
"Wait!… Come to me!" whispered a mysterious voice.
YAWN "Well this is marvelous isn't it. Not exactly the red carpet treatment." complained Wendell.
"I'm sure they wouldn't have forgotten our visit your majesty." Giles said.
(a/n: I'm sure you all know what happens to Wendell and the Queen so we are gonna skip the rest of those parts alright, just for this chapter. Sorry if this a/n interrupted your reading.)
"I guess you get to a certain age when you know nothing exciting is ever going to happen to you. You know maybe that's just how it is, maybe some people just have quiet lives."
"Our lives are just to predictable. Seriously, we need to do something different soon or I'm gonna die of boredom." Tristii complained slightly.
"I fell the same way, it's just--"
"I wish that something, whatever it may be, could just pop out of nowhere and hit us."
"It's not going to happen! AHH!" Virginia yelled as she ran over a Golden Retriever.
"Virginia!" Tristii exclaimed, "Oh, not good, really not good. Oh, look at the dog!" she ran over to Virginia. She began to lightly shake her. "Virginia, Gini come on!" she whispered concernedly just before she rolled over and woke up,
"Ugh! Oh my gosh, what about the dog?"
"He's okay, but you're not, we gotta get to work and clean you up." The continued to work, Virginia and Tristii carried their bikes and the dog walked alongside Tristii.
"Oh, no my wallet!" Virginia turned around.
"I don't think that's a good idea Gini, don't you hear that?"
"N--"
"HOOOOOWWWWWWOOO"
"Yeah maybe not a good idea." The continued on until they were able to see the restaurant, "Wow it's busy." Virginia glanced at Tristii, "That dog really likes you, huh?"
"Seems like it, doesn't it? I guess I'm just good with animals. We're gonna be working hard tonight. It's swamped!" Tristii repeated as they entered through a door on the side of the building.
"Where have you two been? Do you know how hard it is to cover for the both of you?" Candy stressed.
"Sorry, this has been the worst day ever. First I un into a dog, I ruin my bike and Tristii," Tristii glanced up at Virginia from petting the dog, "Tristii finally has a boyfriend." she finished smirking.
