To say Finn was having a bad day was an understatement. His three bosses were being assholes as usual (what kind of company has THREE bosses instead of one?!), which wasn't a surprise to him, and had a fit when he decided to quit. They couldn't fire him now if he quit.
Looks like it's time to just go home and figure out what to do next…he thought while looking back at the First Order Industries building.
At least he wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. He could do whatever he wanted and no one would give him any trouble over it, any business in Coruscant HAD to be hiring since he didn't want to be some bum without a job.
Before Finn could step into the lobby of his pristine apartment building, he crashed immediately into someone who was running out of the building.
"Whoa!" Finn said as he stumbled back.
The other guy stopped immediately and asked, "Oh my god! I'm really sorry, dude. Are you alright?"
"You think?! What's the rush, man?"
"Come with me. I'll explain it."
Oh shit, is he kidnapping me? Finn thought in fear as the guy plopped him into the front passenger seat of his car.
"I have absolutely no idea what's going on here…" he said while the car zipped through the city.
"It's a long story, man!" the other guy said. "Got a name?"
"Finn."
"Cool name! I'm Poe Dameron."
"Well then, Poe, can you PLEASE explain to me what the hell is going on with all this rush?" Finn asked.
"I'm looking for my dog. He ran off." Poe said.
"A dog?! This is all for a stupid dog?!"
"Look, pal, my dog is anything BUT stupid. He's actually really smart for a dog."
A dog…A FREAKING dog! Finn thought with a groan.
He didn't expect the day to go like this…
Meanwhile…
Rey HATED working at Banana Republic. Today had to be the worst day she had ever worked: the customers were pissed more than usual and her head was pounding as if a jackhammer were attempting to penetrate her skull.
"I'm so sorry, miss. Our policy says that—" she was saying to a customer who was showing off a badly damaged shirt.
"WHERE IS YOUR MANAGER?! I DEMAND TO SPEAK WITH HIM!" the customer said.
Of course…Rey thought.
As her boss went to handle the situation, the brunette made a mental note to quit once he was done handling the situation. She ripped a piece of paper from a notepad on the desk and wrote down that she quit.
The boss finally solved the problem and walked over to the desk as Rey gave him the paper and left the store, stepping out into the insanity of the mall.
To her, it was like a mental institution: the children let out unholy screeches in the indoor playground, couples argued amongst themselves, friends laughed, and several teenage girls were talking in high voices.
"And then I was like—"
"And then he said—"
"And we spent the whole day doing our nails!"
Rey covered her ears, wishing that she brought her earplugs while making her way outside to her car. All she had to do was drive back home to her drab apartment and clean it. After arriving at the apartment, she went to take out the trash.
Stupid junkyard of an apartment…God, I wish something interesting would happen for once! Rey thought.
She placed the trash bag into the bin and slammed it shut before hearing a sniffing sound near her. Rey looked in the direction and jumped upon seeing an orange and white Australian Shepard sniff at her purse.
"Where did you come from?" she asked while cautiously holding out her hand.
Please don't be rabid…please don't be rabid…she thought.
Immediately, the dog licked her hand, much to her relief. Rey noticed that the dog had a bright orange collar around its neck with a white license on it. On it, it read:
BB
If found, return to Poe Dameron
Underneath the last part was the address and phone number. Rey shrugged after reading it and scratched BB behind the ears.
"Don't you worry, BB, I'll call your owner." she said before pulling out a peanut shaped cookie from her purse. "In the meantime, how about you have a treat? It's peanut butter."
The dog wagged its tail at her and immediately took the cookie from her. Rey laughed and gave it another pat on the head before leading it into the lobby.
"Well, at least SOMETHING happened…" Rey said to herself as she dialed BB's owner's number into her phone.
