Day 10 With animals ears
"Are you fucking kidding me?" Snow White groaned as Bufkin smiled weakly.
"It... Uhh appears I've filled out the wrong forms." the green animal informed nervously.
Snow White let out an annoyed sighed as her palm met with her forehead. "So what did you order instead of printer ink?"
Bufkin gulped loudly as he looked at the cardboard box. Not much to anyone's surprise he made a mistake on filling out a form to order some printer ink... and the reason for that was Bufkin was hung over... again!
"Well, Miss White... I uhh seemed to have order sets of animal ears instead."
Snow shot him an icy glare. "Animal ears?" she repeated. "How do you get animal ears and printer ink mixed up?"
"I was hung over."
"Of course you were..." running a hand through her black locks of hair Snow shook her head.
"I can, uhh try to order it again... if you want?" offered Bufkin.
Massaging her temples with her soft fingers, Snow took a deep breath then exhaled. "Why don't you go get Bigby to fill everything out? Just sort paperwork for today." the deputy mayor instructed.
"A-Alright," Bufkin gave a slow nod before flying off.
The blue eyes woman let out another annoyed sigh, as if being deputy mayor of Fabletown wasn't hard enough, try throwing petty mistakes into the mix. It was enough to really add unwanted stress to Snow's day...
Slumping in her chair, a large pile of paperwork and complaints filed from various fables of Fablestown sat in front of her. As if getting animal ears instead of printer ink wasn't enough to deal with... An frown appeared on her red lips.
Before she could even lift a pen and address the work that needed to be done a groan of pain cause her senses to go elsewhere. Stepping out of the mirror's golden frame was Bloody Mary.
"Hey Snowflake." Mary greeted. The mirror shot a frown and glared at the uninvited guest.
"Why is my fate always being a portal to you? We have an elevator you could take." he grumbled.
"It's Snow White, and why are you here?" the deputy mayor questioned. "You know I'm busy."
"What? I'm not allowed to stop in and say hello?"
"Not when I'm working, I got an endless stack of paperwork to file, and on top of that Bufin messed up on filling out an order form for printer ink."
"Looked like it arrived okay." Mary said as she raised an eye brow at the brown, cardboard box that rested on the edge of her desk.
"It's not ink Mary, somehow Bufin got ink and animal ears mixed up."
Bloody Mary let out a snort of laughter. "Seriously? Okay, this I got to see." Opening a drawer from her desk Snow White handed her a blade that she use to open boxes that had arrived. Taking the blade Mary then cut into the box, her laughing only increased upon seeing the boxes contents. "Oh god, Snow you need to see this."
Snow got up and looked inside, like she was told there were animal ears of different animals, such as cats, dogs, mice, and many others. For the first time since the dreadful day started a weak smile accompanied by a dry chuckle escaped from her.
"How on earth to you get ink and animal ears mixed up?" Snow huffed picking up a pair of brown, pointed dog ears attracted to a black headband.
"By getting shit faced like Bufkin." Mary stated getting a pair of black cat ears and slipping them on. "Meow." she teased. Snow chuckled again. "Come on Snowflake , try a pair."
Despite how childish it seemed Snow didn't intend to ruin this playful mood. Placing the set of dog ears on her head she gave a careless shrug. "Woof..."
"Take those off." Bloody Mary ordered frowning. The leather clad woman dug through the box.
"Why? You told me to put them on."
"You remind me of Bigby with those things on, and that's the last thing I want to think about when I'm around my partner." Bloody Mary scoffed selecting another pair of animal ears. This time a pair of white bunny ears. "Here , try these... Shame they don't come with a tail."
Rolling her blue eyes, the deputy mayor took the pair of bunny ears from her lover. "I'm at work Mary." warned Snow White putting the white ears on her head. "There, better?"
"Much," Mary replied grinning ear to ear. "Purfect."
"Hmmm, that was cheesy." Snow pointed out.
"Oh shut up." she replied pulling Snow in for a kiss.
Bigby was at a phone booth, he tapped his foot in annoyance as he waited for Snow to pick up. "Come on..." he grumbled. Sure enough she picked up.
"F-Fabletown, Office... S-SNOW... W-white speaking... Oh god!"
Her voice sounded like it was struggling for air.
"It's... Uhh Bigby..." he said awkwardly.
" oh... H-hi Bigby..."
"Snow, are you okay?" the sheriff questioned.
"Yes, I-I'm in a meeting. I-I have to go NOW!" she then hung up.
Bigby shook his head and hung the phone on the hook. "What a waste of ducking change." he huffed. "God damn it Mary."
