The two girls left their apartment and drove toward a local movie theater. They both filled out applications and were pretty much hired on the spot. They were surprised.
"That's it?" Claire asked.
"Yeah that's it." The manager said. You two just need to come in tomorrow and I can give you your uniforms."
"Okay then." Elle said.
"You both need to wear white button-ups and black pants." The manager said.
"Okay we can do that." Elle said as the two of them left.
"That was quick." Claire said. "I expected them to call or something."
"So I guess we need to get our work clothes." Elle said.
"That seems like it would be a good idea." Claire agreed. "Where should we go to do that?"
"Well I'm sure why could get something like that at K-Mart." Elle said. "I actually did buy my clothes because Daddy didn't trust me to something as simple as shopping."
"You had to have the worst father ever, Ashley." Claire said.
"Yeah I would say so, C.B." Elle said. "Chocolate Bunny."
"You do realize that could mean Claire Bennet, don't you?" Claire said.
"Crap you're right." Elle said. "How about just Bunny."
"That could work." Claire said. "As long as people don't associate it with Playboy."
"Well I wouldn't mind my own issue of Playboy with pictures of you in it." Elle said.
"Why settle for pictures when you can have the real thing?" Claire said.
"You have a point." Elle said. "Still I wonder if there's somewhere I can get one of those outfits. I can't help but wonder how sexy you would look."
"I'll see if I can find one somewhere." Claire purred. "You'll just have a deal with a regular Spencer until then."
"That will definitely work for me." Elle said. "But I think we need to do more than just have sex. Do you wanna go a date tonight?"
"Sure but we don't have much cash left." Claire said.
"Well the movie will be free. And we can have a romantic dinner at home from McDonalds." Elle said. "That is the kind of stuff people do in this recession."
"Well it's only really a recession for adults who work for corporations." Claire said. "And it's only until we can use our assets again. This would be easier if the government couldn't track us."
"We'll get through this." Elle said. "Hopefully it won't take very long. So what movie do you know wanna see?"
"Well maybe we could see Twilight. I've been waiting to see it for a while." Claire said.
"I didn't know that you were into that sort of stuff, Spencer." Elle said.
"Yeah, I'm not really in it for the guys but I like the story." Claire said. "Please Ashley, can we see it?"
"You know that I can't resist you when you get like that." Elle said as she wrapped her arms around Claire. "You know we've been standing in front of the car for like 5 minutes. Maybe we should get inside at least."
"I think that would be a good idea." Claire agreed. "We should probably get going anyway."
"Now let's go and get you out of those pants." Elle said.
"Such a nice double entendre." Claire said. "How do you know that we'll even be trying them?"
"Because I want to try mine on and unless you wanna wait for me outside the dressing room, you'll try yours on as well."
"You just love getting me out of my pants, don't you?" Claire asked.
"Yeah I really do." Elle said as they headed to K-Mart.
'So we should buy one of each right now." Claire said. "We can buy more when we get paid."
"You know I've never actually been paid for anything before." Elle said.
"You weren't paid by the company?" Claire said.
"Nope I had to ask Daddy for money whenever I wanted to go out which wasn't very often." Elle said as picked some pants off the rack. "But it's okay. I'm free now. Let's go try these on."
Claire grabbed a pair and followed to the dressing rooms. They both went into the same stall. Claire was the first to start undressing. Elle smiled at her.
"What?" Claire asked.
"You're wearing my undies." Elle said. "They look good on you."
"I didn't really notice." Claire said. "It's hard to determine who's owns what clothing anymore."
"Yeah basically what's yours is mine and vice versa." Elle said.
"Yeah I think that's pretty much how it goes." Claire said as she started to pull her pants up. "So how do I look?"
"Your have a great ass." Elle said.
"Not exactly what I was going for." Claire said.
"Yeah but you know that you like to hear it, Bunny" Elle said.
"Only when it comes from you." Claire said. "Yeah I think I'm gonna get these."
"Was there ever any doubt?" Elle asked.
"Nope but you wanted to come in here." Claire said. "And I just love to please you."
"The feeling is completely mutual." Elle said as she kissed Claire.
"So just to be sure, the plan is a movie then dinner?" Claire said.
"Yup you got it Spencer." Elle said.
"Cool." Claire said. "So let's head back to the theater."
"I really hope they'll let us in free." Elle said. "We need to use most the money we have for food until we get paid. Good thing rent and utilities have been paid for. Your bio-daddy is pretty cool. Did you ever meet your half brothers?"
"They probably don't even know that I exist." Claire said as she they paid for their clothing and headed back to the movie theater.
They went to the manager that hired them.
"Did you forget to tell me something?" The manager asked.
"Yeah we were wondering if we could see a movie." Claire said.
"You have to work before you get that privilege." The manager said.
"Please." Elle said. "We're trying to a having a date here but we don't have much money."
"Did you just say date?" The manager asked. "Are you two…"
"A couple yeah." Elle said. "Now can you please help us out? We could apply somewhere else if you have a problem with that."
"No it just caught me by surprise." The manager said. "Just come on."
They soon found themselves in the theater. They found a corner and sat down.
At one point Elle whispered. "You know it would be so hot if Alice and Bella started making out."
"Yeah but Bella's too blinded by her love for Edward to consider it." Claire whispered back. "But it's still pretty good."
After the movie they headed to McDonalds and ordered to-go. They then headed back to their apartment and ate their fast food sitting close to each other.
"I brought something." Elle said as she put a CD in the stereo.
"What is this? World's Sappiest Lovesongs?" Claire asked as the music started to play.
"World's Greatest Love Songs." Elle said as she stroked Claire's brown locks. "Come on Bunny, don't you think this stuff is romantic."
"Of course it is Blondie. But it's like pure cheese." Claire said. "And all of these songs are ancient. How about we play something more recent?"
"What did you have in mind? Elle asked with a sighed. "And these songs aren't that old. Most of them are from the 80s."
"We weren't alive in the 80s, Ashley." Claire reminded Elle. She knew that Elle was but Ashley wasn't supposed to be. "I have just the CD for this."
Elle smiled as she heard Fearless by Taylor Swift start to play.
"You're right this is better." Elle said. "Come on get up and dance with me."
The two of them got and danced around the room. Then a slower song came on.
"I can't believe this is our first date." Claire said.
"Yeah unless you count that karaoke thing." Elle said.
"I don't think we really should." Claire said as she slowed danced with her girlfriend.
A month later, Elle and Claire were still working at the movie theater. They hadn't heard anything about the search for people with abilities being called off. Claire headed out to the dumpster to take out the trash. Inside Elle received a text message.
"Check on Claire. Rebel." It read. Elle didn't know what to think. Who was Rebel and why did she need to check on Claire? Was something bad about to happen?
Outside Claire began to put the trash in the trash in the dumpster. That was one part of the job that she hated.
"Claire Bennet?" A voice said.
Claire turned and looked at a short man with white hair surrounded by 2 other men. They were all dressed in black.
"No my name is Spencer." Claire said.
"Really?" The man said. From behind one of the men walked a 13-year-old girl. Claire recognized her as Molly Walker. "Tell me where Claire Bennet is."
Molly pointed at her.
"My name is Emile Danko." The man said. "I've come to take you. Now you can either come quietly or my associates and I can use force."
Claire was about to open her to speak when she heard the cackle of electricity as the two agents fell to the ground unconscious.
"Well it looks like someone isn't as dead as we thought they were." Danko said.
"Go to hell Nazi." Elle said, blue energy running down her hands.
"Now that's just not nice." Danko said as he drew his gun and pointed it at Claire's head. He didn't hesitate at all and fired.
Elle knew that if the bullet hit Claire in the head and killed her she wouldn't be able to heal herself. Claire looked terrified as Elle noticed one of the agents seemed to be able to control emotions and was projecting fear upon her.
Elle ran quickly and drove in front of the bullet before it hit Claire. But in doing so, it hit her right in the heart. Elle began to bleed heavily as she landed on the ground. Claire could look on in shock as Elle realized one last bolt at the agent as she succumbed to the bullet.
Okay people should know that it doesn't seem as bad as it looks. The next chapter will definitely have some surprises in it. Some of the stuff may confuse you but it will all be explained. And Molly appears. Horray for Molly.
