************************************************** ********************************
I woke up in a daze wondering what time it was, then I looked at the clock. 'My alarm didn't go off!'

I jumped out of bed and grabbed my red pants, I put them on then the suspenders, then I grabbed my black turtle neck shirt and pulled it over. I grabbed my stained white gloves and the hat they made me wear on the boat.

I ran out of my room to see my mother cleaning up after breakfast. "Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked pulling on my yellow rubber boots. "I'm going to be late for work!"

"I thought you could use the extra sleep." She said looking at me innocently. "Do you have to run off now, I have breakfast ready."

"I'm going to be late ma, I gotta go." I burst out window of our apartment and jumped on to the fire escape. "Love ya ma, I'll be back at twelve."

I jumped over the rails of the fire escape and started climbing down, jumping from building to building. When I hit the ground I started running and turned left towards the docks.

As I ran the food benders tossed me roles that they weren't allowed to sell anymore. It wasn't the best morning routine, but it was mine.

When I made it to the docks I saw that the small steam boat had already set sail. I jumped onto crates until I thought I was close enough to jump, but I was wrong. Right before I fell a long hairy Hispanic armed grabbed me.

When I was on deck I saw my two co workers. The taller of the two was George Botch, but we just called him Goofy. He wore a green long sleeve sweater, the companies hat, a black vest and orange cargo pants. He had the longest side burns that you have ever seen.

The smaller one was Donald. He was the only white guy on the ship, and he had blonde feathery hair. He wore the full uniform because he was the boat owners nephew, Scrooge Mcmalor. He was also the only one that didn't wear the white stained gloves that the rest of us did.

"You know if you keep being late like this you're gonna get us in trouble." Donald said, looking slightly down at me. "Seriously, we can't cover for you with Pete every time."

"He's right Mick, you need to start getting here on time." Goofy agreed, pulling me to my feet. "Until then though, it's good to see ya buddy."

"Good to see you to Goof. So how many shipments do we have today?" I said going over to our clipboard. "Only one, and to a Mr. Walter Yensid. Isn't he that guy who owns the water processing plant."

"That's the one." Donald said patting one of the many creates. "Uncle Scrooge and him have a contract that once a year we ship a whole boat of his water."

"Well if it gets me a pay check." I said, looking down at the calm water. "Sounds like it's gonna be an easy day."

"I don't think so Vermine." A gruff voice said from behind me. "Mr. Yensid is a tuff costumer that runs a tight schedule; we can't be a second late."

I turned to look at our captain, an overweight Hispanic man wearing a black turtle neck, white gloves, and denim overalls with only one side strapped.

"Well then Pete, we better get going." I said smiling at my friend. "And could you please use my first name."

"No promises Vermine, I called Oswald Vermine, I'm callin' you Vermine." He answered heading back into his office to drive.

"Now all we have to do is wait." Donald said jumping on to one of the creates.

And wait we did, because Mr. Yensid's dock was on the other side of Manhatan. A short trip for a faster boat, but a pretty long one for Willy. When we finally did arrive a man in a blue over coat, a blue fedora with golden rings along the sides, a blue button up, and a golden tie was waiting for us. He was tall and had a short forked grey beard.

"Right on time as usual." He said, putting away a golden pocket watch. "Bring down the boxes now, I have another meeting in an hour."

The three of us grabbed trollys and began wheeling the boxes up and down the ramp, not paying much attention to Pete talking with Mr. Yensid.

After I had put the last create down and was walking towards the boat Mr. Yensid stopped me.

"Young man, are you by any chance Micadimus Vermine?" he asked drawing my attention. "You look an awful lot like a former assistant of mine."

"Yes sir, but you can call me Mickey the Mouse sir." I said turning towards the elderly man "Or just Mickey."

"I'll call you by the second one." He said drawing me closer to him. "Would you by any chance want a job working for me?"

"Thank you sir, but no thank you." I said looking up at the mans face. "I'm quite happy working with my friends on Willy."

"Well, if you ever change your mind, here's my card." He said, doing one of those card appearing magic tricks. "I hope you'll be in touch."

"Thank you sir." I said looking at the blue card with golden lettering. "But I don't think I'll be needing this."

I handed the card back to him and walked up the ramp to the ship.

I've had this story in my head for a while so I'm just writing it to get it out, and to buff out the edges. I'm still going to work hard on it so please review.
