The next morning, Yusei got up and made himself a bowl of cereal. As he ate, the twins ran up to him, as they had already eaten.
"So are we gonna call the orphanage now?" Leo asked excitedly, "Huh? Can we?"
"Not yet Leo," Yusei said, "I work today. We'll call before I leave, but I'm sure there's some paperwork to be filled out first."
Leo groaned and his sister just shrugged. "It's okay if we have to wait a day or so," she said, "Right Leo?"
"Yeah. Okay," he said unenthusiastically.
"Great," Yusei said, "Just let me finish this and we'll call the number."
As Yusei ate, Luna looked up the number to call and Leo rested his head on his right hand. His left hand tapped the table as he waited.
"C'mon Yusei! Lets move it!"
"Sorry Leo, but it won't make much difference if I call now or in 5 minutes. Besides, it's fun to see you get annoyed."
"Just like you get annoyed when we bug you about never having a girlfriend," Leo fired back.
The twins pointed fingers at him and yelled, "Oh!" Yusei just rolled his eyes.
After Yusei finished his breakfast and got dressed in his work clothes, which were khaki pants and a red polo, he dialed the number for the orphanage.
"I wanna talk! I wanna talk!" Leo said. Yusei smiled and handed him the phone.
"Okay, but ask if you need any help," Yusei said. Leo nodded and took the phone. A woman picked up.
"Hello? How may I help you?" she asked.
"Hi! My name's Leo and I wanna make an adoption," he said.
"Okay," the woman said, "What orphan are you interested in adopting?"
"Well, we actually know who we want to adopt. Her name's Akiza."
"Akiza!" the woman said in a surprised tone, "Are you sure? I mean she does have..."
"Oh I already know about her," Leo said, "I looked it up online."
"Oh, okay," the woman said nervously, "What time can you come down to do the paper work?"
Leo put his hand over the speaker and looked at Yusei.
"Yusei. What time do you get off? We need a time to meet for the paperwork."
"Well, I work until 4, so 5 should be good."
Leo nodded. "5 o'clock should be fine," he said.
"Okay. 5 o'clock it is. See you then Leo!"
"Okay! Thanks! Bye!" He hung up.
"Okay. I'll come over as soon as I can," Yusei said, "Luna look up directions online so we know where to go."
Yusei put on white tennis shoes and slightly opened the door.
"Be safe you two!"
"We will Yusei," Luna said and the twins waved goodbye as Yusei went out.
Yusei hopped into a small, used, green car that he the twins had helped him pay for. Despite not wanting them to pay for school, Martha and twins practically made him accept their offer to get a car for himself. After all, he couldn't drive his duel runner in the freezing cold winter.
One Yusei made it there, he took his blue water bottle and blue lunch bag, which he had made before breakfast, and went inside the "employee's area." He punched in and checked on who was suppose to be in charge of the cashiers during his shift. He sighed when he read the name.
"Liddy," he said to himself, "Great! At lest Karen will be here at the end of my shift."
Yusei put his water and lunch in the fridge. He then made his way to the check lanes, which were busy as always. He went up to a clipboard, at the end of one of the lanes, which had the break times and lane assignments. Yusei slammed his fist down when he saw the lane he was on.
"Oh Yusei," Liddy said, who had long brown hair and glasses, "You'll be on lane 22!"
"Okay," Yusei said.
'Great. Right next to the crowded grocery section and just past the express lane,' Yusei thought.
Yusei started putting bags into a holder and his lane light wasn't on. Despite this, someone walked in.
"Are you open?" she asked.
"No. I'm not," Yusei replied. She then backed out and went somewhere else.
Yusei didn't lie. After all, he wasn't ready. His bags weren't in, he didn't open up the register and get the change in it's proper slots, and he didn't have his light on.
"Yusei," Liddy said as she walked over, carrying her clipboard, "Did that customer ask if you were open?"
"Yes."
"Did you say 'no' to her?"
"Yes," Yusei repeated.
"Well...next time...just ring them up anyways."
She walked away and Yusei mumbled to himself.
"Just let her in," Yusei said to himself, "Yeah, then I'll have 5 people in my lane, someone will give me cash, and I won't be ready."
When Yusei was done, he turned on his lane light. Less than 10 seconds later, someone came in.
"This is going to be a long day," Yusei said to himself.
After a hour or so of non-stop checking people out (and not the good kind), Yusei had a problem. A woman's had a very expensive item, which had a special tracker on it, to avoid stealing.
Yusei turned on a "Emergency" light and used the register to call for Liddy. He then waited for Liddy to come over to him.
"Hey Yusei," she said and Yusei pointed to the item. After he finished ringing the customer up, Liddy went over to Yusei.
"Hey next time, can you not turn on the light? Just call me and I'll come over."
"Sure," Yusei said. When Liddy was out of sight, Yusei rolled his eyes.
Later, Yusei had another problem. He did as Liddy told and watched the clock on the computer. He waited and waited. Finally, he just finished ringing up the customer and another cashier came over to him.
"Hey Yusei, it's time for your break," a blond young girl said.
"Thanks," he said as he left his spot, "I called for Liddy 6 minutes ago and she's still not here. She told me to not use my light and I don't think it's working." He slid two things to her. "These electronics don't work. Can you tell her if she gets back here?"
The girl nodded and Yusei went to the break room to eat.
"You wonder why she's my least favorite person when I come to work," Yusei said to himself.
Once Yusei's long and enduring shift was over, he made his way to the tops to pick up the twins. He smiled when he saw them run up to him, as he entered their apartment.
"Yusei," Leo and Luna said as they hugged his legs.
"Hey guys. Lets go finish the paperwork," Yusei said.
"Oh don't worry about it Yusei," Leo said, "It'll be easy as pie."
Later, Leo leaned back on a red chair in a office-looking room. It had a couple of bookshelves, with files of the orphans that lived there. A woman sat across a desk, in front of the the twins and Yusei. She had short brown hair, fair skin, and black glasses.
"Akiza," the head woman said, "Now you're sure you want to adopt her."
"Yes," Yusei said slowly.
"Okay then, you'll have to fill out your information," she said, "We didn't realize that Leo was so young."
"Hey! I'm older than I look!" Leo fired back. Yusei turned to him.
"It's okay Leo," Yusei said calmly. He turned back to the woman. "I'm sorry that we had this confusion."
"It's okay," the woman said, "Now just fill out your information. Here's a pen."
Yusei started to fill out the form as Leo and Luna watched. Luna and Leo started to giggle as Yusei wrote.
"You have bad hand writing," Luna said.
"Yeah, you're even worse than me," Leo said.
Yusei smiled at their comments. He had to admit that it wasn't the best writing in the world. The woman looked at the way he interacted with the twins and smiled.
'He must be a great father,' she thought.
Yusei quickly filled it out and then slid it back to the woman.
"Okay. We'll check to see if every thing's in order and, if it works out, then you can pick her up tomorrow morning."
"Great," the twins and Yusei said in unison.
"We'll give you a call later tonight on the results," she said and stood up.
Yusei stood up and shook her hand. Then, the twins each shook her hand.
"Thanks," the three of them said as they left the room, with a wave. When the door shut, the woman looked back at the form that Yusei had written on.
'I'm so happy for Akiza,' the woman thought, 'If that Yusei can take care of his first two kids, then he can certainly has some experience for Akiza.'
A few hours later, Yusei's record had been shown to be up to par and a stamp of approval was put on his application. After making a call, Leo said that they'd send a limo to pick her up in the morning.
The head woman then went up to Akiza, who was listening to a song on her laptop. Akiza turned it off and looked up at her.
"Akiza," the head woman said, "Come with me."
Akiza followed her to the same room that Yusei and the twins were in a short while before. Akiza sat down and wondered what was going on.
"Akiza. I have some very exciting news."
"Well, what is it Ms. Johnson? Is someone interested in me?"
"Well, more than interested. In fact, they have already filled out the forms and are qualified to adopt you."
Akiza's eyes grew wide. "Really?"
"Yes and the person who adopted you already has experience. He had two kids with him."
Akiza smile grew wide. "Did he have a wife?"
"No, no wife, but he did really well with the twins that were with him."
"Well, it sounds great," Akiza said.
"I already called and they'll send a car in the morning to pick you."
Akiza stuck out her hand to Ms. Johnson. "Thank you. You don't know how much this means to me!"
Ms. Johnson shook her hand and smiled back. "I do Akiza, because I've seen many orphans come and go here. So, when kids like you find a home, it always makes me smile."
Akiza started to leave. "Thanks again!" she said with a wave and quickly left the room.
Later, Yusei was ready for bed. He finished his nightly fantasy and when he was finished, he looked up at the ceiling.
"Well, tomorrow we'll have a new person here living with us," he said to no one in particular, "I hope she enjoys being with us."
Back at the orphanage, Akiza had done the same as Yusei, with getting ready for bed and her nightly fantasy. She laid on her back and was excited to have a new home.
"I can wait to get out in the real world again," Akiza said softly to herself, "However, how long will it last?"
Yusei and Akiza both sighed and went on their sides, to try to get some sleep.
The next morning, Luna had sent a limo out to get Akiza. The three of them waited outside for her and Leo had a big sign with "Akiza Izinski" written in black ink.
The limo pulled up to the orphanage and Akiza gasped when she saw it.
'I haven't been in a limo since my parents left me,' Akiza thought. She grabbed her few belongings and went into the long vehicle.
As Akiza rode, she noticed that the limo was going deep into the city. She looked up at the tallest building.
'We couldn't possibly going there,' Akiza thought, 'Only the super rich get to live there.'
She watched and it became more and more obvious that their destination was indeed that building.
Akiza gasped when the limo stopped in front of the building, and it wasn't just due to where her new home was.
"That's the husband?" Akiza said as she looked out at Yusei and the twins, "And those are his kids?"
