Feathers touch Fur
I sighed as I brushed my ears. I was wearing my everyday clothes…a green long sleeve with a blue skirt I was a buneary at the time. I didn't understand why I could evolve…was there something wrong with me. I shrugged off the thought when I arrived at my destination. I traced the scars on my neck that resembled fangs. I sighed and got off out my car. I walked towards the park and sat down on a bench. I fidget and looked up when I heard whimpering. I saw a man with a big head wearing a white dress shirt, grey dress pants, a little black hat, and a black jacket trying to hold up a large crate. I got up and helped him. "Here let me help you." I offered. He smiled and clapped when I lifted it from his grip. "Oh, jolly good girl." He commented. "My name is Pops, owner of this pretty park." He greeted and made a motion to the park around them. I giggled at his child behavior. "My name is Umbra." I introduced myself and looked at the crate. "Why do you have this?" I asked. "Oh I entered a contest and won this." He explained and opened it. He took whatever was in and held it up in the air laughing. It was a very LARGE lollipop. I stared at it in confusion. "What type of contest was it?" I asked. "Who shows the most passionate love towards lollipops." I stared at him blankly and began giggling. "How interesting." I said and looked at the crate."What should I do with this?" I asked. "Just throw it in the trash." He said cheerfully. I literally threw it in the trash. He giggled. "If I may so….why are you wandering in this park?" he asked. "Well I was trying to think of a job I should apply for." I answered. He smiled."Well then…to repay you for helping me….how about you work here?" he asked. I looked at him shocked."Really?" I asked and he nodded. "Of course." He said and skipped away. "Remember to be here on time!" he shouted at me laughing. I watched him go with a disturbed expression but, shrugged and walked towards my house wondering if I accepted a job I will regret to work for. I already had a job at the coffee shop but, I wanted to get extra money to get the things I desperately need or want. I decided to think about this tomorrow at my first day of work. I opened the door of my rented apartment and jumped into bed after changing into my gown. I slipped under the soft blankets and sighed blissfully. I closed my eyes as I slipped into sleep
(Tomorrow)
I walked towards the house at the park and knocked. Pops opened the door and laughed excitedly. I smiled and entered. He explained everything and everyone that were working on their chores at the moment fast and quickly. He told me my boss Benson a gumball machine will assign me my chores. After he said this Benson and my co-workers walked in. He was giving a blue jay and raccoon a lecture about how they slack off and noticed me. "Pops….are you having another tea party?" He asked blankly. I stared at them as Pops introduced me as the new worker here. I shook hands with everyone and smiled. "Do you plan on living here?" Skips asked. I nodded and smiled. "I hope we'll get along." I said and put my arms behind my back.
I set the last box in my new room and sighed in relief and stretched. I heard a pop and sighed again. I started to unpack and thought about the chores I had to do after I'm done. I had to do the same jobs as Mordecai and Rigby and then head over to the Coffee shop to do my shift for an hour. And believe me…that hour is seriously ridiculous. During that hour I had to organize the cups, plates, spoons, forks, and bowls, Bring all the coffee bags in, serve all the customers, clean the tables, windows and bathrooms, try to get rid of the hobo that always comes in and tries to flirt with the waitress' *Shudder*. Help Margaret with her ex-boyfriends (To make sure they don't kidnap her), make sure muscle man doesn't take off his shirt, and try to get rid of Bigfoot. I unpacked quickly and ran outside. I met up with Mordecai and Rigby and raked the leaves. I did it nice and easy before I checked the time. Finished the other chores before they could and headed towards the coffee shop. I didn't notice the look they were giving me as I worked fast. I put an apron on when I got there and did my duties (hehe…). I was serving the customers when I saw Mordecai and Rigby come in. They took a seat and I gulped. `They come here?' I thought and felt embarrassed for some reason. "Hey Umbra?" Margaret asked I turned to her. "Hmm?"."Could you help me? My ex-boyfriend is here and if I approach Mordecai and Rigby alone, he'll think-"I shushed her and nodded my head. I wouldn't let my best friend down! She sighed in relief and we began walking towards their table. I felt a blush appearing on my face. I hid my face as we walked. "Hey guys." Margaret greeted. "H-hey Margaret." Mordecai stammered. I rolled my eyes but, couldn't resist giggling. "Umbra? You work here?" Rigby asked. I nodded my head. "No wonder you were in a rush." Rigby said and laughed kinda. I smiled sheepishly and took a seat next to him. "So what brings you here?" I asked as Margaret walked away to get their orders. "Oh nothing, I only came here to get a sandwich and because Mordecai kept on dragging me shouting `Oh come on! I want to ask Margaret out! I know today's the day!' but, I know that he's just gonna bail like always." Rigby explained but, got punched in the arm. He yelped and glared at Mordecai. I giggled at how cute he looked and looked at Mordecai. "Is that true?" I asked curiously. He blushed and looked away nodding. I giggled again and heard the doors open. I turned around and saw HIM come in. I growled and turned back. "Don't look at him…" I told them and tried to cover my head. "Why?" They asked. "That's….my ex-boyfriend…Drake…" I said and looked at the corner of my eye. I hid under the table as I saw him walk to the counter. Margaret knew how he had abused me and how much I hate him. So everyday he came in and demanded where I was. Like always Margaret lied and told him I just left. He was a tall wolf that wore a leather jacket, shades, ripped pants, combat boots, and gloves. I didn't know why I even went out with him. I still had bruises and two scars from the abuse. Luckily I hid them with long sleeves. They were going away but, I could still feel the pain I felt when he first made them. He left and I came out. Margaret came with the orders. "Thanks." I said and she nodded. "Anything for my bestie." She said and left. "Why were you hiding?" Mordecai asked. I looked away while I explained it to them. At the end they had a pity look and decided to abandon the subject. "Sooo…..how long have you and Margaret been Best friends?" Rigby asked. "Since we were 4 years old." I said like it was obvious. They both gawked at me and looked away. I smiled. Yep I was really going to like my new job
