Intricate Lace
It was a bright Saturday morning. My sisters had always woken up later, while I woke up early. I stared out my room window before walking into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for my sister. But as is prepare breakfast I saw through the corner of my eye a dark green line of the energy that we omit when we are flying. It wasn't buttercup because hers was a forest green, could it have been a rowdy ruff? I shook my head from any thoughts of the rowdy ruff boys. They had been our friends, but they always caused too much trouble. I pulled out the frying pan that the professor always used. It had been almost a year since he had been gone for a research project. I started making omelets for breakfast until bubbles cheerfully hugged me.
"Hi Blossom!" Bubbles smiled at me with her warm aura she had since we were little.
I smiled back at her. "Good morning Bubbles." She took her spot by the window and unwrapped her sketch pad which had been nestled in her book bag.
"Drawing anything interesting lately?" I asked her. Even though her drawings had always been beautiful, she sometimes drew something out of her comfort zone. Bubbles shook her head and began to draw.
"Not really." She answered as her eyes never left the sketch book. I shrugged and jumped out of surprise to the loud thud coming from the living room. "Blossom!" I heard buttercup yell.
"Yes?" I yelled back at her. The only thing I could hear was some glass being swept up. "You didn't break another lamp did you?" I yelled at her with a slightly angered voice. There was silence for a while until buttercup had entered the kitchen with shattered glass and a lamp shade. She smiled at me innocently.
"You see what happened was that the lamp was in the way and I didn't see until after I landed and it sort of…. Got squished." Buttercup laughed stiffly. I let out a small laugh. "Buttercup its ok, but we have to get a new one now. This time you have to pay for it." I told her strictly. She hung her head down disappointedly.
"Fiinnneeee…." She sighed loudly before dropping into her seat to the left of bubbles and slamming her head down on the table.
"Okay! Everything is ready! Bubbles get the plates please, Buttercup get the silverware!" I chirped at them. They both got what I told them to get and sat back down eagerly looking at me for food. I gently put each omelet on their plates. I sat down next to my sisters as they ate. I ate my own breakfast with a few minutes. I headed up the stairs to get ready for my job. Once I was done I looked in the mirror to make sure I wasn't forgetting anything. The black pencil skirt fit snuggly against my hips but blended nicely with the button up white shirt that I had to tuck in. I slipped on my black stockings. After I had gotten the uniform on I brushed my hair and tied it up with the same pink bow I've had since I was created. I played with my hair to make sure it was in the perfect high pony tail. After I was done I rushed down the stairs and slipped my black satin heels on. The hot pink soles looked slightly more worn out than usual. I shrugged it off and waited a few minutes for my sisters to come down the stairs. Buttercup slid down the rail and bubbles walked down.
"Alright I want you guys too have a good day at work. Buttercup don't cause trouble and Bubbles I put a new can a pepper spray in your bag." I smiled at them both and gave them a small family hug.
"I'll try Blossom." Buttercup smiled. Bubbles nuzzled against me.
"Thank you Blossom." She hugged me slightly tighter.
I smiled at the both of them once more before I opened the door and got in my car. Buttercup got on her motorcycle and Bubbles sat on her bike. We offered to get her a car, but she insisted on a bicycle. We each drove off in a different direction. I sighed as I put some k-pop on. I almost started crying when I thought about the professor and how much I've been missing out on my sister's lives, just because of my job. I'm tired of working and not seeing my sisters very much. I wish I didn't have to work anymore. My whole body froze as I slammed on the breaks. I had almost missed my turn to my jobs entrance. It was a high-end grocery store and every member to this store had their own, what we call 'ant'. An ant is where they get everything for the person that is shopping. They want dark chocolate from Italy we take them to the exotic desserts section so that they can taste every piece of chocolate from Italy that we have. It was a well-paying job but everyone was treated badly at times. I looked at the tall silver building as I drove to the back. I stared at it in disgust before parking and stepping out of my car. I inhaled as much air as my lungs could hold and smiled, then released it all. As I opened the door my manager briskly walked over to me.
"Ms. Blossom Utonium! Why are you late!?" He yelled out raged.
"I'm not late sir. It's 8:30 am." I stared at him with a straight face, only to get a cold laugh in my face.
"Ha! That's right. Now go do your job." He walked off to go harass some other employees. I sighed and shoved my check-in card into its slot and back out. I held my arms behind my back as I walked to the front to be someone's ant. I saw other men and women waiting around standing uniformly in a line. I joined my own line as well. My friend sapphire was in the front and she greeted a very old man. He smiled kindly back at her. She winked at me and mouthed 'yes!'. As they walked around the front of the store and proceeded to look at different things until they were out of sight. This continued for around an hour as different people took what I liked to call 'owner' around the store. It was finally my turn to take some around the store and be a servant for thirty minutes. A very beautiful women had entered the store. Her black raven hair reminded me of Buttercups just longer, and her black leather fox fur coat added to her looks. Her heels clicked against the floor as she walked towards my line.
"You." She pointed directly at me. She popped her bubble gum and lifted my head.
"You'll do." She lightly scratched my chin. I could tell that this was going to be a bad day.
"Hello ma'am. What are you shopping for today?" I asked as politely as I could. She scoffed.
"I'll tell you when I need too. Now here are five things I need. I will not repeat myself and I will not tell you if it's wrong. I will just tell your manager." She tapped her foot and looked at me up and down once more.
"Okay, I need one bag of coffee from Brazil, it should have the slightest scent of vanilla to it. Two, I need eggs. A thirty-six cart of them. Three, this is very rare in japan. It's a type of melon. I can't remember what it is but I'm sure you know. Four, I need some lotion. It needs to be cherry blossom scented as well. Last but not least is five. I need four sets of five thousand thread counted sheets. That is all." She looked away from me, lifted her hand and gestured me too shoo. I nodded at her requests and rushed to get all of her so-called essentials. Thank god for my powers and my memory. I had gotten all of her things within five minutes.
"Here you are ma'am." I set everything in her cart and organized it as I put it in. She handed me an envelope.
"This is your tip, I suggest you hide it in your shirt." She leaned her lips next to my ear and whispered, "Congratulations." A shiver went down my spine and I accepted her envelope as she headed to her car. I proceeded along with her to load everything. She was silent as I put everything in her SUV. I opened her car door and waited for her to leave, so I could get back to work. As she left she smiled at me. I waved calmly at her and walked back inside. Waiting for my next owner. It was another women, who looked nicer than the other lady.
"Welcome, what may I get you today?" I asked her.
She smiled at me. "I just need a few things." We started to walk and she had me get various things, from medication, to food. Towards the end as I loaded her car up she gave me a hugged and I felt a small sting in my back but ignored it and hugged the women back. She smiled at me again, but this time it was different. As she drove off my vision was getting blurry and I started to feel tired. As I walked back I saw brick entering the store. I was glad I didn't have to wait on him hand and foot. As I went back into line he started laughing and I knew it was towards me. But I didn't care. The only thing I did care about was my shoulder. It had been stinging and worsening every second. As another person walked into the store and I awaited my turn to be picked by someone I grew dizzier than before. But soon a felt a warm hand on my shoulder it was bricks as he was exiting the building. But the only thing I could do was fall to the ground unable to move my limbs, and my mind went numb and my memories faded into black.
