For the first part of this chapter, we will be zooming ahead to week 3 of Poof's job with Marie; song-style! Sung to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas" or "The Seven Days of Yaksgiving" (from the Timmy Turnip episode)
On the first week of working with Poof's true love Marie...
Thursday and Friday of the first week were both unhappy days for Poof. On Thursday it rained and Poof was sent to clean up everywhere except Marie's work room (although he did make a quick stop at 315 to say hello. Marie greeted him back politely but didn't think much of it.) and on Friday this one kid having a twerpectomy kept crying and Poof had to clean up his tears.
On the second week of working with Poof's true love Marie...
Monday; Poof had to sort out all the prescription drugs that spilled when a dog getting fixed by Dr. Schnifowitz ran into a shelf of opened bottles.
Tuesday; Poof took a sick day. The reason? Work isn't as much fun as they make it sound on Spongebob.
Wednesday; Poof went to work, and ONCE AGAIN was not able to see Marie. Poof tried to call Marie and asked nervously "How's it going?" before he hung up embarrassed. Marie knew it was Paul and thought this was strange behavior, and how did he get her phone number anyway?
Thursday; Poof took another sick day to visit Foop. They spent the day discussing a plan Foop had to get Marie to notice him. Poof said he would do it to be polite, but knew that even if he was going to carry out Foops' ridiculous plan, he would need a chainsaw, some dynomite, rockets, ninja monkeys sent to ATTACK, and reservations for Olive Garden.
Friday; Poof decided to ask Marie out on a date to go to Olive Garden (he got the idea from Foop's plan). Lucky for him, he was able to spend the whole day in room 315 with Marie. Unlucky for him, he was never able to say the phrase "I have reservations for Olive Garden, would you like to go with me?" without stuttering or freezing or stopping himself. Maybe next week...?
On the third week of working with Poof's true love Marie...
"Hi Marie!" Poof waved and walked into the room, pushing the janitor cart behind him.
"Where did you get my phone number by the way?" She asked curiously and a little weirded out. "I forgot to say that Friday, but I knew that was you who called me Wednesday."
"What?" Poof faked a laugh. "That wasn't ME! Hahahaha-" He looked at Marie's serious (and very pretty) face and said "You're not buying this at all are you?"
"No." She said.
"All fairies can just call anybody by waving their wands at their cell phones." He didn't register exactly what he said until he saw Marie's puzzled look. But before he could explain himself, Marie rolled her eyes. "Oh yeah, another one of those things that has to do with your 'magic wand'. " Marie went back to work.
Poof realized it had been ten or twenty minutes without him asking Marie. He took a deep breath. "Marie," he said slowly. "Do you, um... do you want to- uh- uhhhh, well I have dinner reservations today at Olive Garden would you like to go with me if you're busy that's fine it's just a suggestion I don't really care." He sighed.
Marie thought about it. "Um, I guess."
"Okey, good." Poof smiled nervously. Before he could say anything else, over the intercom the desk lady said "Mr. Baker, a kid barfed in room 541."
"Oh yuck." He mumbled. "Um, see you tonight Marie."
"Bye Paul! See you at Olive Garden."
Sorry if the last chapters had been a little boring, but it would be unrealistic if Poof's first date with Marie was in his first week of work. I figured he would need some weeks to get used to working and to get to know Marie a little (except Marie doesn't talk much here, since she's working the whole time.) Now they'll be going on a date. Will things go perfectly? Of course not! What kind of a FOP fanfic is that? Stay tuned for the next chapter of Poof and Marie!
