Seto-Luckily for me, Peggi encountered several problems while writing this fic!

Marik-One, she had to have back surgery, which she doesn't mind you asking about. This surgery caused her to have to quit working at Subway, sooo that made it difficult for her to think of the troubles she could put Kaiba through.

Eevee-Two, Peggi and I are related. How does this matter? Easily! We are both very lazy authoresses who don't like to update. . .

Peggi-Maybe if her Eevee would update more often, Peggi would feel more compelled to update as well. . .hint hint. . .HINT!!!

James-And three.

Peggi-I might have to get another job soon. A real job. I will work as a dental assistant which I have been certified to do for quite some time but have been waiting for my back surgery to do so. . .lately I have been sitting around, watching LittleKuriboh videos on YouTube (which isn't mine!)

Seto-Let's just get on with this chapter so that I can go to bed!

CHAPTER FOUR

The next morning Seto had rented a car from Enterprise, and luckily, they pulled through. He was a bit late for work, but after his accident, Deedra did not make much of a fuss. She really could not do much, as she was about to fire three of the employees for tardiness, lack of respect for authority and for not following general rules. Roxy, Danny and Christy were about to become Subway history, which was both good and bad news for Seto. It gave him more hours to work there, meaning that he would have more money, but he also didn't like working to begin with.

Seto pulled the green uniform shirt over his head and felt the sudden urge to punch the face staring back at him from the mirror's reflection. Something about it angered him and almost made him want to cry. He knew that he could depend on the people around him for help and advice, but that wasn't what he wanted. He didn't want to ask others for help, he wanted to be independent! He opened the bathroom door and walked into the workroom, ready for his day when he came face to face with someone he had not met before.

The girl who stood before him had short shoulder length black hair and a lot of freckles. He was pretty sure she looked Russian and had dark brown eyes.

"Who the hell are you?" he asked her, mostly shocked because of nearly bumping into her.

The expression on her face turned from excitement to hurt, "I'm Chinko, and I'm new here. Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you."

She turned to walk off, but Peggi, who was already in the workroom pulled her back, "No, Chinko. Seto, you go fill up the chips and sodas today. Don't worry about him, sweetie. He's just a jerk to everyone. He's new here too and thinks that he's better than the rest of us, for some very odd reason. Honestly, I don't see the reason."

Angrily, Seto stacked chips on the racks and arranged the bottled drinks in the cooler and wondered why he'd ever even considered being friends with people such as them! They were all jerks, and Peggi was the worst! In his angry mood, he had filled the cooler without even realizing it and before he knew it, his job was done. He didn't want to go into the work room because that would mean he would have to face that horrible girl again, but he wouldn't make money standing around in the lobby.

Peggi was showing Chinko how to prepare the vegetables for the morning shift, so that meant he was supposed to make sandwiches in the front with Eevee. The red-head was already with a customer and Tex was at the register. Seto took his place placing the veggies, cheese, and sauces on the subs. Things went smoothly and with the extra hand during the lunch rush hour, Seto even ate before he felt half starved.

While eating his lunch, Seto looked out of the window at the traffic and thought about how he could have prevented his company from crumbling to the ground and closed his eyes, imagining how wonderful things would have been if he had just kept his investments straight, but then another thought occurred to him. Was he truly happy before? Staying up late every night, exhausted in school, studying for both school and ways to improve his company. He was probably addicted to caffeine and he had taken medications to stay focused more than once. He had been a working machine and wasn't even a senior in high school yet.

For the rest of Chinko's shift, Eevee taught her the basics of cutting bread and showed her how much meat to put on each type of sub, but assured her that if she needed someone to help her there were plenty of people there who would be more than willing to help her out. Peggi had assigned Seto to washing dishes and while she filled up the veggies in the front, Tex teased him about how great he looked in the pink gloves. Peggi brought in a pile of black containers that had been emptied while refilling the veggies and placed them in the tub filled with soapy water. Seto pulled one out, scrubbed it clean with the sponge, rinsed it and then dropped it into the bin with the sanitizer. He was bored for the most part but also a bit irritated by Tex's constant mocking.

The dishes were finally dwindling down to nothing and Seto just wanted to rush to get them done.

"You'd better slow down. When you rush you can get hurt," Peggi reminded, walking by to refill her drink.

Seto just mumbled something behind her back and continued about his work. Finally he finished, and after what seemed like several hours of washing, he could take off the pink terrors and get back to something less. . .wet. Still angry from his arrival at work and from the taunting of Tex, Seto began to storm off when suddenly, the floor seemed to stop being under his feet.

In his rage, while washing the dishes, he has managed to empty enough water onto the floor to create a slippery puddle where he stood and when he moved he had slipped. He tried to regain his balance by grabbing onto the ledge of the dishwashing basin, but he missed and instead, grabbed the stacked containers next to the sink. He felt a sharp pain as his head hit the floor, and what sounded like thunder as the containers made their way along side of him. All of his anger subsided and was replaced with pain and embarrassment as Tex, Eevee and Peggi all rushed into the room to see what had happened. Chinko had left already which he was thankful for, as he didn't need her mocking him too. He could tell that they were all suppressing giggles but none of them said anything to him.

Eevee extended her hand for him and he almost swiped it away, but his head hurt too much at that moment to argue with her, and so he let her help him up. Eevee's mocking smile turned into a smirk, which she directed at her older cousin.

"Hey, Peg, you make sure he's okay. Tex, you help me up front with the customers. Both of you are about to get off so if you need to stay in the back for the rest of your shifts that's fine."

Peggi's eyes widened and she almost argued with her cousin, but couldn't, as the girl had already taken off in the other direction, dragging Tex behind her.

"You're trying so hard to get them to realize how they feel, aren't you?" Tex laughed after they were out of earshot.

"She has that same irritation she got when she was around you, so I know that it must be some form of love. . .and him? Well, he couldn't find any better than that!"

Tex just smiled, hoping that Eevee was right.

"Didn't I warn you about rushing around?" Peggi asked him, pulling out the frequently-used first aid kit.

"There was water on the floor and I slipped! It's not like I was running or anything!" if he had been Mokuba's age he might've stuck his tongue out at her by this point.

She took an ice pack out of the kit and snapped it down the middle, mixing the chemicals inside, creating a cool mixture inside of the plastic wrapping. She handed it to him and he placed it on the back of his head.

"So, you don't think you'll pass out or anything do you? You don't need to go to the doctors or something, right?" she raised an eyebrow.

"No, I'm fine," he lied, honestly wondering himself if he needed to go to the emergency room.

While Seto leaned against the back wall with the ice pack to his head, Peggi began picking up the containers and dipping them back into the sanitizer before arranging them back onto the racks to dry. Seto's head pounded and his wrist hurt from where it had slipped along the side of the sink. He looked down at his wrist and realized that he had a friction burn on the inside of his wrist and groaned. This job just wasn't working out!

Peggi looked up at Seto and realized he was eyeing his wrist and she rolled her eyes. She used her forefinger and middle finger and smacked his wrist really hard where the friction burn mark was.

"OW! What was that for?! Is that supposed to keep it from bruising or something?"

"No, I just felt like punishing you for making me pick up all of these fricking dishes because you can't control you stupid gosh darned temper!"

His eyes widened at her, not expecting this girl to become so angry, but then her face softened, "Sorry, but I hate it when people cause more work for me than needed. It'll probably be gone by tomorrow just don't mess with it."

He considered thanking her, reconsidered, and then thought about it again but kept his mouth shut. He wasn't sure if he should be mad at her for smacking his hand or thankful that she wasn't teasing him about what had just happened; he knew she was trying very hard to hold these comments back. She stood against a wall, leaning back with her eyes closed and Seto took a deep breath, hoping his head would stop hurting.

"If I give you something will you please not ask for any more or tell anyone that I gave it to you?" she spoke.

Seto wasn't sure if he should trust her but she held her hand out to him, holding a small white pill, "What's that?"

"It's called Tylenol 3. It's got codeine in it so I shouldn't be giving it out but I think you could probably use one. . .just don't tell anyone I gave it to you okay?"

Seto took the pill from the darker haired girl and swallowed it without anything to drink and leaned against the wall again. They both only had half an hour left and then he would be free to leave, and she would be able to get out of her duty to watch over him. Time went by slowly for the two of them but finally it was time to punch out.

"I'll be back later on to pick you up, okay Eev?" Peggi made sure that her cousin would have a ride home.

"No problem, Tex is taking me home. We get off at the same time. I'll see you there!"

Peggi nodded and punched out. She signed her time printout and went into the bathroom to change. Seto did the same and when he emerged he saw Peggi talking on her cell phone in the hallway. This was definitely not how he'd expected to see her dressed, as she always left in her uniform and arrived in uniform. Her red tank top had the words "Beautiful Nightmare" written in black and glitter and she wore a short black skirt. Boots that came up to her knees and tied in the front were placed over fishnet stockings with spider webs on them as the design, and her hair was pulled back at the top and sides but still hung down so that it was basically half up, half down.

"What?!" she yelled at Seto, realizing that he was staring at her.

"Hot. . ." was all he could reply.

"Excuse me?" she glared, irritated that someone was watching her while she was on a private call, "I'll meet you there, I have some sort of stalker," she closed the flip phone, "What did you say to me?"

"I didn't say anything! I just, uh, I like your hair! Can't anyone compliment you without you turning into some prissy little bitch?!"

Eevee heard the voice of her cousin followed by Seto yelling in response, and as there were no customers in line at the moment, she excused herself from the front to make sure no one was hurt, and by no one, she was concerned about Seto. She walked from the backroom into the hallway and was about to begin yelling at both of them, but turned back around. Tex's concern began when he saw a shocked look on Eevee's face.

"Eww they're kissing like in those movies, aren't they?! When the people who like each other argue and end up kissing! Gross! He's not even that cute!"

Eevee simply shook her head, "It's even more interesting than that! It's like something out of a bad fanfiction! She was dragging him out the back exit towards our car. . .you know what happens in those movies when there is a heated argument and then there are cars?"

Tex's eyes widened, "They wouldn't! In the car?! That you ride in?!"

"I believe it's so. You know she can't control her temper, and when she is angry there is only one thing left to do!"

Seto pulled against the girl who was shoving him into the passenger side of a car, "You're kidding me. You want to play a Duel Monsters game with me? That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of, aside from yogurt in a tube. And why did you have to drag me out to the car, why not duel inside?"

"Because! I have to take you somewhere first! We can't duel here, too many witnesses!"

"Witnesses to what, exactly?"

"When I said 'duel', Seto Kaiba, you instantly assumed I meant with cards. Something I don't like is being yelled at and my way of solving my problems is usually to fight. Well, in this sort of fight, you can wear armor and you're in an arena. This is where I was headed to begin with. The flashy 'hot', as you call it, outfit is simply a way to let my opponents underestimate me."

"I never agreed to this! I'm getting out!"

The doors to the car locked, and Seto's eyes widened, the car began revving up, and they burst out of the parking lot, "You might want to buckle up, Kaiba-boy!"

"You're crazy!" he yelled, following her idea and buckling up.

"You don't know the half of it!"

END OF CHAPTER FOUR

Peggi-I do not own Enterprise, GoGurt, or any other product mentioned n this chapter. I don't own much in the world, actually. I should create my own anime, so that people will write fanfiction about it and talk about how much they wished they owned it. It will have hot guys and nifty plots, like my fanfiction.

Seto-Maybe you should inherit a fortune from some rich dead guy instead. No one will buy this worthless junk you call writing!

Peggi-I think I know where I can find a rich guy, and I bet I know how I can make him dead. . .I received an email response to this fic and I think a review as well. Yes, this fic is quite comical because putting Kaiba into this working environment is just. . .well. . .as you can see it's just simply funny! But no, Subway isn't just throwing meat and veggies onto bread. I've been burned really badly, cut, slipped, and worked long hard hours while working there. It is no easy job, believe me, so when you go to Subway and there are long lines, give the employees the benefit of the doubt. Seriously! It's not as easy as it looks! There is a LOT more to working there and they are usually understaffed because regulations are so strict!

Chinko-I'm real! Peggi can own me if she wants, but I'm real!!!

Peggi-Yesh, Chinko is my friend and actually does work at Subway. Anyhoo, wow me being psycho, don't see that every. . .wait. . .yeah, you do. Oh well. Haha my friend Chuck gave me this idea (the dueling part) and so THANK YOU CHUCK!!! He actually does this for fun so in the next chapter we get to see some action!!! lol fighting action lol it's so much fun to duel! Anyhoo. . .

Seto-Until next time, send in lovely reviews! They make Peggi love me more and want to kill me less!!!
