chapter 7;
"Wow." Poof said. "This driving thing is fun! Reminds me of The Simpson's car video games I used to play...with...Timmy." His happiness turned to small sadness as he mentioned his former god-brother. He tried to get the thoughts out of his head. This was his first day of work, he was supposed to think happy thoughts.
"Yeah! More points!" He yelled as he ran over another fire-hydrant. He smiled until he heard a police siren, then his smile got bigger. "I don't need to worry!" He said happily. "I can get rid of these guys! Just speed up until you outrun them!" He clicked the button on the car, conveniently next to the emergency brake, labeled "emergency speed boost."
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" He yelled. He felt a little like Cosmo in this way, but he always loved going really fast on something. He looked at the rear-view mirror, which showed the cop car chasing after him. In a few minutes, the cop car got smaller and farther away until Poof couldn't see it anymore.
"Okey, now to turn around, go around the police, and then they'll disappear because I outran them." That's the way it always worked in the game, and that was always how Poof was able to outrun the police in The Simpson's Hit and Run. Little did he know, the police did NOT just "disappear".
"I'm here!" Poof said finally. "Now to park the car." He moved his car a little bit forward, accidentally smashing the back light on a red truck parked next to him. "Oh, well." He said. "The guy could just wish a repair on it- oh yeah, humans have no wands or magic." He made a mental note that when he and Marie got married, they would move back to FairyWorld no matter how much hate they would receive. How could anyone live without magic? Atleast Poof had his wand in his back pocket.
He walked out of his car, and walked to the door. So far so good. He thought to himself. Not tripping, not falling. He walked inside and the first thing he did, was trip and fall. He screamed.
A bunch of people turned to stare at him. One lady in a uniform said "Shh." Poof was very embarrassed, but he was also annoyed. "Why did is the floor all wet?" He yelled. The lady in the uniform looked like she was about to call the security, so he slapped his forehead and yelled "Wait! I'll stop yelling!" Then he slapped his mouth and whispered "I mean, I'll stop yelling."
"You should." A brown haired lady in a lab coat walked over to him. "You're being too loud. And anyway, didn't you see the 'wet floor' sign?" She pointed to a "wet floor" sign, and Poof noticed it and nodded. "Oh yeah, I see it now."
"Who are you anyway?" She asked him.
"I'm Poof- I mean, Paul Baker. I wanted to get a job here."
"Well. for someone who wants to get a job here, you're not making a very good impression."
"Sorry about that."
"You want to go over there." She pointed to the lady in the uniform.
"I can't talk to her." He said. "She doesn't like me because I yelled."
"You want a job here don't you? Just go!" She pushed him towards the desk lady. When she saw him walking over there, she mumbled "Why am I even helping that guy? The last thing I'd want to do is work with a rooky like him."
"Hello!" Poof put his hand to the desk lady's face and waved, which he assumed was how people greeted each other. "I would like to get a job here."
She didn't even bother to look up at him. "Dr. Schnifowitz is in room 294."
"Okey thanks." Poof took out his wand and zapped himself into room 294. Dr. Schnifowitz was sitting behind a desk. "Can I help you?"
"I'd like a job here."
Dr. Schnifowitz put a big stack of papers on the desk. Poof looked to the ceiling (which was a giant ceiling, not a little one) at the stack of papers. "I just have to sign my name on all those pieces of paper?"
"And more." Dr. Schnifowitz put a second stack of papers on his desk. "We need all your information from where you were born to your education to your other job experiences to if you ever killed anybody."
"I never killed anybody." Poof said truthfully.
"Then there's no chance you'll get into a big position like me." Poof laughed, but then frowned when he realized Dr. Schnifowitz was serious. "Um, I'll just- fill these papers in another room.
It took an hour, but Poof filled out all of those papers. He started out making up information, like he couldn't put that he was born in FairyWorld Hospital so he had to put This Hospital and hope for the best. After waiting another hour for Dr. Schnifowitz to finish looking at the papers, he was called to discuss them.
"These seem okey, Mr. Baker, just a few quick questions." Dr. Schnifowitz stared into Poof's eyes, making Poof very uncomfortable. "First, why is it that you are thirty and you haven't had any other job? How are you able to live in your house?"
Poof rolled his eyes and tried to think of something. "I uhh, live with my mom?"
Dr. Schnifowitz laughed. "Wow, what a loser! Okey, another thing, this says you attended school in FairyWorld Elementary and later FairyWorld High." Poof gasped, he didn't remember writing that! But after a few minutes, he DID remember that when he was writing the education papers he was so tired, so he figured that he must have written that stuff without thinking. What would he do now?
But Dr. Schnifowitz didn't seem to care. He continued. "Why does it say that you DID NOT complete high school?"
Poof sighed because Dr. Schnifowitz didn't ask about FairyWorld High, but then he realized he needed to come up with an excuse. "I, uhhhhhhhhhh, I couldn't! I just couldn't! It wasn't my fault Fairy Council sentenced me to Abacatraz Jail! I just-"
"Jail?" Poof covered his mouth, but it was too late. "What do you mean? You had to go to jail, and couldn't finish you're education, and you're asking to be Miss Brown's new assistant?" Poof nodded, not realizing that Dr. Schnifowitz was being sarcastic. "Hahahaha haha hahahaha! Well, there's only one job we are qualified to give you."
Poof thought YES! I'M GONNA WORK WITH MARIE! He signed the contract happily. "Thank you so much!" He told Dr. Schnifowitz.
"Yeah thanks!" Poof heard an annoyed voice coming from the hall. He turned to see an angry janitor. "Thanks to you're little 'complaint', now I'm getting fired for not putting up a wet floor sign on the outside of the building!" He walked up to Poof and gave him the broom. "What's this for?" Poof asked.
"You should know!" The angry man yelled. "You're the new janitor!"
Thanks for the reviews on my story so far! Also; to limegreenpandagirl, thanks for reading and reviewing my stories, and I like your stories too! It was very weird writing for Foop in this story since he's a grownup and a lot has changed about him from when he was a baby (but not too much, and I'm glad you think he's in character! I hope none of the cast is out of character!)
Expect MORE chapters coming soon! -Dagnytheartist (:
