Time is the one thing you can never get back and yet most waste it like it is nothing. I stood and watched as people went by ignoring the fact I was there. So engrossed in their own thoughts and lives, not truly caring enough to notice what is around them. I was like that once. It is a curse really being like that, so oblivious to the beauty and atrocities around us. They don't take notice of the beauty and cruelty the world around us holds. Now I didn't have anything to do with myself anymore, my family was gone, my life in pieces. I had nothing to return to, so indeed there was not any reason to go back.
Yet, I find that I am unable to be at rest. Finding within myself that I need to go back and accomplish what my family would have wanted me to accomplish. My father had been the proud owner of a good Candy and shipping company and now that he is gone I find that as his only child he would have wanted me to go back and take over leading our company to prosperity once more. The only thing I find in this is that, though I am his only child, I am a girl and at this point women are still discriminated against. The troubles of time traveling you get stuck in one place and you have to conform to it, my family got stuck here in the 18th century. We adapted fairly well and established that we were related to a very old distinguished family. Standing up once more I made up my mind. I have to go back and fight. Sighing I grabbed my long hair. I would have to cut it, wash up and go shopping for boy clothes. It defiantly was not going to be fun for me; I went along down the road to accomplish my task.
First I went to get my hair cut and because of its length I had it turned into a wig. You never know when I might need such a thing I hope not, but again you never know. The lady and man cutting my hair were crying the whole time sad to see my "Beautiful" long hair being cut. Fools, it is just hair I can always grow it out again. After promising to not cut it again, I went out to buy some more manly clothes. I went to Meredith my family's personal seamstress, and designer. We ended up creating a whole new wardrobe. I decided to go with a more modern look with Victorian twists here and there. Therefore making me look fashion foreword and distinguished among the rest. Smiling I got a copy of my mother and father's will as well as a letter from the Queen to notify and make official that I am the owner of everything. It was quite hard to get a letter but considering the fact that my family was very close to the Queen I was able to obtain it. It took me most of the day though.
Once I finally got my home back I started cleaning. While I was gone it got dirty and nasty, some fat man took up residence while I was gone. After kicking him out of my home I started to work. I was able to change the color scheme back to gold, pale blue and white, sort all the business papers and get all the finances in order, as well as making the home look more presentable over all. Sighing I was finally able to rest. I got the master bedroom ready and set for myself and started thinking about the staff members I would need.
My dream was dreadful but at least I had dreamt of my family. Sighing I got up and began my day. I went into town to find the people I would need. Singing a soft tune as I went along I let myself relax and be free the only sad thing is that there was no nature for me to enjoy as I went along. My first stop was Meredith's shop she was likely to know someone looking for a job. I sang the high note loudly and finished my song before entering her store causing people to look at me. Not caring I continued into the shop.
"Meredith my sweet! I have a favor to ask of you." I said in my manly voice causing the costumers to look and sigh at the sight of me. I can safely say if I were truly a boy I would be one hot ladies man. Meredith skipped over to me with joy and giggled softly at how good of a job we had done, turning me into a handsome "boy". " Meredith! I wanted to ask if you knew any good people that are looking for jobs I wish to hire some help." She smiled and nodded her head. "Yes I do know a few. Mason Fulton is looking for a job...he has recently graduated from school but needs to make money to pay off the cost. There is also Li Ming and Li Hua they both worked for Mr. Bronte but he died recently. Other than that I don't really know...Ohh! There is also Ryu Chong...I learned that he is searching for someone to serve, all his family died and he needs something to help him move on and push through. You wouldn't mind helping right?"
"No I wouldn't mind. Call them for me sweetheart and tell them that I would like to meet with them...ohh and are Li Ming and Li Hua twins?" Meredith smiled and gave me a hug. "Yes they are twins! I will call them all up and call on you so that you may meet them as soon as possible." I gave her a dazzling smile and a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you Meredith. That would be much appreciated." She nodded happily, ignoring the women glaring at her back. "Good day, Meredith I must take my leave." she nodded and gave me a hug before I left.
