Jeannie picked up the phone and started dialing Tony's number. It rang for a few times before he finally picked up. "Hello?" he questioned.
"Hello Master this is Jeannie." She replied.
"Well hello there Jeannie. Roger and I were just talking about you. How have you been?" he asked her.
"Oh I am doing alright. I'm getting very excited since Halloween is coming up next week and I can't wait to go to the annual Halloween party at the base." She told him.
"That's right that's coming up. Roger and I aren't doing much of anything for Halloween since we don't get trick-or-treaters at the apartment. We're planning on watching Psycho together though." He told her.
"What is this Psycho?" she wondered.
"Oh it's an old horror movie from the sixties. Anyway Roger and I were just talking about the fact that you start your volunteer job today." He said.
"Oh yes, and I'm so excited about it. That's why I called you. I was just on my way there. I love animals and I have always wanted to be an animal trainer." She said when suddenly Roger came out of the shower.
"Are you talking to Jeannie?" she heard his voice ask him.
"Yeah, do you want to get on for a moment and say hi?" he wondered.
"Yeah sure." Roger replied before he took the telephone from him. "Hello Jeannie." He said.
"Hello Roger Healey." She said cheerfully.
"So are you getting ready to go to work?" he asked her.
"Yes I am, I was just on my way out the door." She told him with a nod.
"Us too." He began. "Well good luck and make sure that you call and tell us how it was." He said.
"Alright Roger Healey." She told him.
"Well I'm going to give you back to Tony now okay? Love you. Tell Stacey that I said hi and I'm wondering why I haven't heard from her in the past week." He said.
"Alright Roger Healey I will, and I love you too." She told him.
"Okay, here I'm going to give you back to Tony so that you guys can say goodbye." He said before he handed the telephone back over to him.
"Alright darling, listen we do have to go but please call again soon. We want to know all about your job. Good luck." He told her.
"Alright I will, and thank you Master." She said. "I love you." She told him.
"I love you too darling and goodbye." He told her before they both hung up the phone.

Jeannie walked a crossed the parking lot and into Morgana Adventure park wearing her black and pink wetsuit and a whistle around her neck. That's when all of a sudden she ran into another woman with long and straight brown hair and grayish blue eyes. "Hello, I'm Kristen." She began smiling brightly at her before extending her hand and offering her to shake it. "You must be Jeannie." She said.
"Oh yes I am." Jeannie told her while accepting her offer and taking it.
"Come on with me this way and I'll introduce you to our orcas." Kristen said while she finished shaking her hand. Kristen led her away and past the dolphin tank.
"Oh I like dolphins." Jeannie said while she stopped and turned over to look at them. Three of them leapt out of the water and shimmied backwards with their tails while fluttering their flippers and cackling excitedly making Jeannie giggle.
"Yeah they are adorable aren't they?" Kristen began while smiling warmly at them. "Dolphins are social animals, that's why they have to be in an aquarium with other dolphins." She explained. "Although most people aren't aware that orcas are dolphins too."
"Really? That's interesting." Jeannie said as Kristen nodded.
"Yep they're the biggest dolphins of their species. They're innocently known as whales since a lot of people call them killer whales when a lot of the time they're not even killers at all. At least to people. One of our bottlenoses is about to have a calf." She told her.
"Really? Me too." Jeannie began before she quickly shook her head. "I mean I'm not going to have a calf, but I'm going to have a baby with Anthony Nelson." Jeannie said.
"Really? Well congratulations Jeannie. Isn't he the famous astronaut?" Kristen asked her.
"Yes he is. In fact he and our dear friend Roger Healey are out on a mission right now in Texas. They'll be back some time in February and I'm very excited that it's only a few months away." She told her before the other woman led her over to one of the tanks where an orca was sticking it's head out of the water and blowing air out of its blowhole.
"This is who you'll be working with Jeannie. Her name is Kay and she's only five years old which is very young for an orca since they can live to be about thirty years old. She was brought here because she recently lost her mother." Kristen explained.
"Oh dear, that's terrible." Jeannie said.
"I know because like I was saying before, all dolphins live in pods. Some of them spend their whole entire lives with their mothers and they never leave them." Kristen explained. "Anyway, Kay is very friendly but she is also very shy. So before we can train her to do any tricks we need her to warm up to people. So that's where you come in. Just spend some one on one time with her so that she'll learn to trust you." Kristen told her.
"Oh. How do I do that?" Jeannie wondered.
"Well one thing is for sure is that she absolutely loves attention. Just spend some time talking to her and petting her and I'm sure that she'll open up in no time." Kristen told her before she turned around and walked away.
