103 6: FIRST DAY ON THE JOB.
On Lois's white black spotted cellphone, there was a text message that read: "First day in London, England! On my way to the House Of De Vil right now, Moose and i. I'm so excitted!" Mood: EXCITED!
~AT THE HOUSE OF DE VIL~
Auto drove down the streets of London and slowed down as he came into the view of a huge building on the right side of the road. "Ladies and gentaldogs, we have arrived at the House Of De Vil. Please exit the vehicle at you left. We hope you have enjoyed the ride. Thank you for riding the Auto express."
"Thanks, Auto." Said Lois.
"No prop, bob." Said Auto.
The driver's door then opened, and Lois picked up Moose and got out of the car. The driver door then closed. She walked up a flight of long steps until she made it to the double doors of the building, which were being gaurded by a man, holding a clipboard.
"Can i help you?" Asked the man in a british accent.
"Hi, i'm Lois Richards, and i've traveled all the way from my home country, America, to see 'THE' Cruella De Vil."
The man looked down at his clipboard. "Hmm...Lois Richards. Hmm...Nope. Not on the list."
"Are you sure? Check again." Said Lois.
Moose barked at the man.
The man looked at Moose. "And who are you?"
"This is my dog, Moose. He came with me on the trip." Said Lois.
"Well, you're not on the list, so go away." Said the man.
"Uh...hold on a minute, sir. Come here." Said Lois. The man leaned close to Lois. "Listen." The 20 year old American girl whispered something in the man's ear.
"Uh-huh...uh-huh...uh-huh...uh-huh. (Gasps) You're here on miss De Vil's orders? Well, we don't want any trouble from her. Uh...there's been a cancellation. You may go in." Said the man before stepping aside.
"Thank you." Said Lois. She walked up to the double glass doors and they opened automatically and she and the man entered inside and then they closed.
~INSIDE AN ELEVATOR~
Meanwhile, somewhere inside the building, a glass elevator was coming down a clear tube. Inside this elevator stood a woman with cold, ice blue eyes and black and white hair, holding a little dog. This was Cruella De Vil, the boss and the owner of the house of De Vil, and the dog she held in her arms was her dog, Fluffy. The elevator soon reached the end of it's destination and the doors opened.
"Welcome to The House Of De Vil." Said Cruella.
~IN THE FASHION ROOM~
Cruella led a group of people through the fashion room of The House Of De Vil.
"While year over year, revenue continues to climb, operating costs are higher than ever. Our shareholds have been patient, but let's be honost, no one is impressed by today's fashion anymore. 17 years ago, the House Of De Vil fashions were right up there with magic. These days, women look at fur designed clothing like children look at an elephant from the London zoo. That doesn't mean the House Of De Vil is falling behind. Our fashion designers discover new ways to design new fur clothing every year. But Fashion Mogals, like myself, want them bigger, prettier, sparklier. The good news? Our advances in fashion have opened up a whole new frontier. We've learned more from other designers in the past decade than a century of designing cloths." Cruella stopped at a wall with framed fur cloths designs. "So...when you say you want things different...what do you have in mind?"
"We wanna see something new." Said one of the two men in a british accent.
"Don't we all? The mystery fur coat. Our first top secret design." Said Cruella.
"So what is this new mystery coat? What is it made of?" Asked the second man in a british accent.
"What part of "mystery fur coat" and "top secret design" do you not understand?" Cruella asked.
"Oh, sorry. My bad. So what kind of coat is this new design?" The second man asked.
"I'm not going to tell you that? This new fur coat won't be out until later on this year. Every time we've unveiled new designs, attendance has spiked here at The House Of De Vil. Nation wide news coverage, celebrity visitors. Eyes of the United Kingdom." Said Cruella.
"When will this new fur coat be ready?" The first man asked.
"It's already in the process of being made." Said Cruella.

~AT FRANKSON'S DOG GROOMERS~
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the other side of London, England, the white jeep drove up beside the building of 'Frankson's Dog Groomers' near the sidewalk and came to a stop.
Max then got out of the jeep and stepped on the sidewalk and staired at the building right in front of him with his mouth hanging open.
Clark got out of the jeep and closed the door. "Well, here we are, everyone. 'Frankson's Dog Groomers.'" He then opened the back door on the right and his four dogs exited the vehicle and they all walked onto the sidewalk.
"You work here?" Max gasped. The youth was astounded by the building in front of him and how big it was.
"Yeah, man." Said Clark.
Max: "Whoa, this is so cool! Look at this place! It looks like...like...like..."
"Like a hotel?" Said Clark.
"Yeah. It looks like one of those big and fancy hotels." Said Max with a wide thrin on his face.
"That's because it is. Or at least it was until they closed it down three years ago when i moved here in (2013)." Said Clark.
"So what is it like now that you've taken over the place?" Max asked.
"It looks like a five star hotel." Said Clark.
"Really? Alright!" Said Max in excitment.
"Except it's not a hotel anymore." Said Clark.
"Oh? Well, what is it?" Max asked.
"Just what it says in the title. It's a dog groomers." Said Clark.
"A dog groomers? As in a place for dogs? But why?" Max asked.
"Well, you see, when i first moved here in (2013), i didn't have any money to aford college. So i went online and surfed the web for jobs and other ways to suport myself, and when i saw that they were closing down a hotel, i decided that i wanted to buy the place when it went out of business." Said Clark.
"That's cool, but how did you get the money to buy this place?" Max asked.
"I didn't. The original owner gave it to me for free." Said Clark.
"I like that price." Said Max.
"I know, that's exactly what i said." Said Clark.
"Well, come on then, let's check it out." Said Max as he started running up to the building.
"Wait." Said Clark, causing Max to stop in his tracks.
"What?" Max asked.
"Aren't you forgetting something?" Clark asked.
"Oh yeah, i almost forgot." Max ran back to the jeep and reached inside and pulled out something. "My iPod. Never leave home without it. Thanks for reminding me, bro." Said the boy, holding a white iPod in his hand. He then resumed walking up to the building.
"Max." Said Clark, stopping his brother in his tracks.
"(Sighs) Okay, okay, i'll close the door." Said Max as he walked back to the jeep and closed the front passenger door.
"That's better." Said Clark.
The brothers and the dogs walked up to the building and Clark got out his keys and unlocked the double glass doors. Max then proceeded to enter the building.
"Ah, ah, ah." Said Clark.
"Oh, what now?" Said Max.
"The door." Said Clark.
"What about it?" Said Max.
"A gentalman always holds the door open for a lady." Said Clark.
"News flash, dude, you're a guy, not a girl." Said Max.
"I know, but i'm just saying, if this were a date and you were out with a girl, she would expect you to open the car door and hold the door open for her. Now open the door for us." Said Clark.
"Us, who's us?" Max asked.
"You know, me and my dogs." Said Clark.
"Ugh." Said Max. The boy opened the door and held it open with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Thanks, man." Said Clark.
"You're welcome." Said Max in a sarcastic tone.
Clark and his dogs entered inside the building and Max entered inside himself.
~INSIDE THE BUILDING~
Once inside the building, Max was blown away at the scenery in front of him. The inside looked exactly like the lobby of a hotel. "What...is this?"
"The inside of the dog groomers." Said Clark.
"Yeah, i can see that. But it's not what i expected." Said Max.
"Well? Didn't i tell you? Isn't it great?" Said Clark.
"Well, yeah, but...you didn't say it was this great. How did you do all this anyway?" Said Max.
"I told you, this place was a hotel before i bought it, didn't i?" Said Clark.
"Well...yeah, but i would've thought that you would've at least changed or added a few things. You know what i mean?" Said Max.
"Oh, i know what you mean, Max. This is only the lobby. Wait until i show you the rest of the place." Said Clark.
"The rest of the place? You mean there's more?" Said Max.
"Oh yeah. Much more. Come on, i'll give you a tour." Said Clark.
"Uh...okay." Said Max.
"Good, come." Said Clark.
"Where's everybody else who works around here?" Max asked.
"At home, i imagine. It's only 9:30. The place doesn't open until 10:00. Now come on, how about that tour?" Said Clark.
"Sure, why not." Said Max.
"Yes! Come on. I have so much to show you." Said Clark as he lead his brother through the lobby with the dogs following behind.
"Oh, joy." Said Max sarcastically.

~AT THE HOUSE OF DE VIL~
Meanwhile, in the House Of De Vil, two young girls were walking through the hallway, each holding a black and white emvelope in their first girl was 21. She had long black hair that went down to her upperback and brown eyes. Her name was Mia Deville. The second girl was 23 and African American. She had black hair and brown eyes. Her name was China.
"I've never felt this nervious! And i'm counting the time i saw Lady GaGa at the airport." Said China.
"Actually, you only saw her luggage." Said Mia.
The girls then stopped in their tracks.
"Maybe, but that luggage had star power. And in the black and white envelope it could say "China Sparkle, you're one of the chosen modals for the House Of De Vil's (2017) fashion show." Said China.
"Or it could say "Miss Deville, you're not good enough to be in the coolest fashion show ever." Said Mia.
Mia and China looked at each other for a moment before squeeling in excitment. The girls resumed walking through the halls
"Why don't you open my envelope and i'll open your's." Said China.
"Okay, fine. But read it right away. No mumbling, no fakeouts, and no weird wiggly eyebrow thingys." Said Mia.
Mia and China handed each other their envelpes. "1, 2, 3." The girls opened their envelopes and took out a piece of folded up paper and looked at them in aw before turnning to each other. "You got in! YES!"
"I got in!" Said China as she started dancing.
"I got in, i got in! Woo-hoo! Yes! I got in!" Added Mia, who was also dancing.
The girls then ceased their dancing.
"There's just two thing left to say! Congratulations, and don't ever let anyone see you do that horrifying shake." Said China.
"I can't believe it. In three days the House Of De Vil's fashion cloths will actually be modaled in by a group of young American girls just like you and me." Said China.

~WITH LOIS~
Some elevator doors opened automatically and Lois, holding Moose, stepped out with the man. He led her and the Dalmatian inside an office and they walked up to a desk where a rolling chair was turned backwards.
"Excuse me, sir. There's someone named 'Lois Richards' who's here to see miss De Vil. She claims that miss De Vil sent for her. She's all your's, sir." Said the man.
The person in the rolling chair then turned around, revealing himself and facing Lois. It was Alonzo. "Hello."
"Wait. You're not Cruella De Vil." Said Lois.
"No, i'm not miss De Vil. I'm Alonzo, as you are well aware by now, miss Richards. First assistant to miss De Vil." Alonzo got up from his desk and walked up to Lois. "Welcome, miss Richards, to the House Of De Vil. Why, we've heard a lot about you. You're all miss De Vil is talking about."
"Really? Great! That's terrific!" Said Lois in excitment.
"Yeah, but before miss De Vil can see you and turn you into an overnight sensation, there are certain precautions that have to be taken." Said Alonzo.
"Precautions?" Lois questioned.
"Yes. Follow me. Come on." Said Alonzo. He led Lois out of his office through an automatic door that opened by itself.
Alonzo led Lois and Moose to a elevator that was being gaurded by a man. "Ok, here we are. Let's go."
"Woo-hoo! We have arrived at the House Of De Vil!" Said Lois.
"Well aint this somethin'." Moose thought to himself.
"End of the line, miss, you can't push your way to the front. Go on and get yourself to the end of the line." Said a man in a british accent.
"There is no one else here." Said Lois.
"Are you saying you're too good to get in line?" Asked the man.
"No, but..."
"What? Are you something special? Some kind of VIP or something?" The man asked, cutting Lois off.
"I'm not trying to..."
"Nobody's cutting the line. Now step to the end of the line." Said the man, cutting Lois off jet again.
Lois, Alonzo and Moose stepped back a few feet.
"Hello, may i help you?" Asked the man.
"We need to get inside the elevator, please." Said Lois.
"Name." Said the man.
"I'm Lois Richards and this is my dog, Moose."
The man looked at his black and white iPad. "Sorry, not on the list. Move along."
"But i have to get inside." Said Lois.
"And when did that become my problem? Either your name's on the list or it's not, now audios amigo." Said the man.
"Excuse me, sir, this is a lady you're talking to." Said Alonzo as he walked up to the man.
"And what are you gonna do about it?" The man asked.
"I just wanted you to know that that was a young lady." Said Alonzo.
"Excuse me, we have some very important business to attend to. There must be some way we can get inside." Said Lois.
"Oh, there's several ways. Your name could be on the list. You could be famous, you could greet my palm with a sizable donation to my retirment fund. Or you could be connected to somebody important." Said the man.
"I know Cruella De Vil." Said Lois.
"(Scoffs) You don't know no miss De Vil." Said the man.
"I most certainly do. In fact, three days ago, when i was in New York, i got a letter in the mail that invited me to come over here and study fashion with Cruella De Vil herself." Said Lois.
"Excuse me, di-did you say you were invited here by miss De Vil? Miss, you hit the mother load of fashion. Welcome to the House Of De Vil." Said the man before standing aside.
Lois, Moose and Alonzo walked up to the elevator and Alonzo pressed the button and the doors opened. The two humans and the Dalmatian entered into the elevator and Alonzo pressed a button. The doors closed and the elevator went up to it's destination.
~INSIDE THE ELEVATOR~
Inside the elevator, Lois was eager to find out what the next floor looked like while Alonzo remained calm and quiet. Which was understandable. Lois was only seeing the House Of De Vil for the first time, Alonzo was here everyday.
"Come on!" Said Lois in excitment.
"Relax, miss Richards." Said Alonzo.
"Come on." Repeated Lois.
"Lois, chill." Moose thought to himself.
~ON THE NEXT FLOOR~
The elevator soon reached it's destination and stopped. The doors opened and Lois, Moose and Alonzo stepped out of the elevator and Lois staired in amazment at the big room surrounding them. The place was packed with all kinds of women who were sitting at their desks in front of their computers in rolling chairs.
"Oh my good, she said that? No way." Said a 22 year old blond girls with brown eyes as she talked on her cellphone while walking. She then walked up to Alonzo and Lois and noticed the six week old puppy the 20 year old girl was carrying in her arms. "Nice outfit, cut puppy. Someone really knows how to bargan shop." She said before walking away.
Just then, Mia, sitting in a rolling chair, rolled up to Lois. "Wrong place. The dog groomers is on the other side of town."
China grabbed the back of Mia's rolling chair and moved her away from Lois and Alonzo.
"Wow. Talk about rude and abnochious." Moose thought to himself.
Lois looked on at the scene and saw all of the girls play and throwing paper at each other like they were little kids. "Oh dear." She continued to watch the scene as all of the girls ran around the room, playing with each other. "This is so like my very first day at school. Except my Mom isn't here crying on the first day. But then again, if she didn't wanna be away from me for 8 hours, she shouldn't have made me go."
"LOL. Okay. T.T.W.L." Said the 22 year old blond before hanging up her diamond coded cellphone.
"And there's the school prom queen. I wonder what she's like." Said Lois.
"Oh my goodness! I totally love your outfit!" Said the 22 year old girl as she ran up to Lois. She then noticed the six week old Dalmatian in Lois's arms. "And your dog is super cute!"
"Thank you." Moose thought to himself.
"I totally love you." Said Lois. She and the blond girl then hugged each other. "Lois Richard, New York fashion designer."
"Amber Forest. Fashion and modaling." Said the 22 year old blond girl.
"Obvious." Said Lois and Amber.
Lois then noticed Mia and then walked up to her. "I know you think i'm the dog girl, but my real name's Lois Richards. I'm a New York fashion designer."
"Mia Deville, and i try to avoid people like you." Said the 23 year old raven haired girl. "I'm a fashion designer from L.A."
The African American girl walked up behind Lois. "Mia Deville and Lois Richards. Hi, i'm China Sparkle. Modal and actress."
"And i'm Shanice Smith, China's cousan." Said another African American girl with curly dark hair and brown eyes. She looked to be about 21 years old.
"Attention me, everyone, attention me." Said Amber. All of the girls in the room turned to face the blond girl who was standing in front of a desk. "I have an announcement. Now, we're all here because we're talented mature people who know what they want. That in mind. Dibs on this table."
All of the girls rushed to a desk to claim one as their own.
China rushed to a desk she wanted, but Mia was already sitting at it. The 23 year old girl smiled as she waved at the 22 year old girl. China then went over to another desk and claimed it.
China then got out her cellphone and activated a song and placed it on her desk and the song began to play.
(Selena Gomez: 'Hit The Lights')
It's the boy you never told i like you.
All of the girls screamed with excitment at the song.
It's the girl you let get away.
"Oh my gosh, Selena Gomez! I love her! I love her music!" Said Lois in excitment.
"Well what are we just standing around for? Lets boogy!" Said China.
"This isn't the 70's, China. No one says boogy anymore." Said Amber.
"Then let's dance to the music!" Said China.
"No one says that either." Said Shanice.
"Oh, you know what i mean. Let's dance!" Said China.
After hearing that, all of the girls in the room screamed and started dancing.
It's the one you saw that day on the train
but you freaked out and walked away.
It's the plane you wanna catch to Vegas
things you swear you'll do before you die.
It's the city of love that waits for you
but you're too afraid to fly
All of the girls started setting their things up on their desks as the song played.
Hit the lights, let the music
move you, lose yourself tonight.
Come alive, let the moment take you
lose control tonight. Hit the lights, let the
music move you, lose yourself tonight.
Come alive. Let the moment take you
lose control tonight.
"Come on, Moose, join the party." Lois placed Moose on the floor and bent down to his angle and grabbed him by the front paws and started dancing with him.
"Lois, this is really weird." Said Moose.
It's the time that you totally messed up.
Still, you're tryin' to get it out your brain.
It's the fight you had when you didn't make up
It's the past that you're dyin' to change.
Alonzo just stood around and watched the girls dance.
China then bumped Alonzo with her hip.
"Whoa! Oh, heavens." Said Alonzo.
"Come on, Alonzo, join the party!" Said China while dancing.
"Me?" Alonzo said.
"Yeah, you, boy!" Said Shanice.
"I don't know if i should miss Williams. If miss De Vil walks in here and finds us all partying, she'll throw you all out of the fashion show. And i don't even wanna think about what she'll do to me." Said Alonzo.
"Come on, Alonzo, don't let Cruella De Party pooper spoil things for you!" Said Amber while dancing.
"Well...oh, alright." Said Alonzo before he started dancing with the girls.
It's all the money that you're saving,
while the good life passes by.
A pair of gray double doors opened and Cruella, holding Fluffy, stepped out and saw all of the girls and Alonzo dancing to the music and her blue eyes went wide as she entered into the room and stood behind Lois, who's back was turned and dancing with Moose.
It's all the dreams that never came tru,
cause you're way too scared to try.
Alonzo and the girls then stopped dancing when they saw Cruella in the room and standing behind Lois, who was still dancing to the music with her Dalmatian.
Lois then stood up and started singing along with the song while dancing. "Hit the lights, let the music move you. Lose yourself tonight. Come alive. Let the moment take you, Lose control..." "Oh, sorry." Said Lois after bumping into the person standing behind her while the music stopped.
"Everybody in my office now." Came the voice of Cruella from behind Lois.
Lois slowly turned around and saw Cruella standing in front of her. "Sorry. I'm sorry. I...i didn't see you. I'm so sorry. Did i say i was sorry?"
Cruella then walked off to her office.
Lois looked down at Moose. "Great. My first day on the job and already i'm in trouble."
"Big trouble from the looks of it. But what else is new?" Moose thought to himself.

~IN CRUELLA'S OFFICE~
All of the girls and Alonzo stood in a row in front Cruella's desk as she walked back and forth, with Fluffy resting on her desk, as she talked to the girls.
"I'm the House Of De Vil's director and owner, Cruella De Vil. I think of my job as part cellebrity, part fashion designer and part fashion mogal. Are we clear?" Said Cruella.
"Yeah." The girls said.
"I said ARE WE CLEAR?!" Screamed Cruella at the top of her lungs with her eyes as big as saucers.
"Yes ma'am!" Shouted the girls.
"Good." Said Cruella in a happy tone. "Okay, now that we understand each other, let's have a little girl talk. Now i know that you're all anxious to get started and everything, but before you do that, i need to view your ideas for this year's fashion show we're having, which is just three days away. And just so you know, today is the first day, tomorrow is the second and the day after tomorrow is the third, which is the day of the fashion show, which will be held here at the House Of De Vil on the night of the third day. And the only reason i say that is because i see we have a new girl." She looked at Lois and saw her Dalmatian puppy, Moose standing right beside her. "You there." She said as she pointed at Lois.
"Who, me?" Lois asked.
"Yes, you with the Dalmatian. Come up here and introduce yourself and that puppy to everyone." Said Cruella.
"Okay." Said Lois. She and Moose walked up to the Cruella's desk and stood in front of everyone. "Uh...hi, everyone, my name is Lois Richards. I'm a fashion designer, i'm from America, i live in New York City with my Mom and...did i just say that out loud?"
"Yes. Yes, you did." Said Amber.
"Oh my gosh, how embearacing." Said Lois. "Anyway, i'm Lois." She bent down and picked up her Dalmatian. "And this right here is my dog, Moose. Say hi to the nice people, Moose."
"Hello, everyone." Moose thought to himself.
"Awwww." Said all of the girls in the room.
"What a cute puppy. And so small for his age. How old is he?" Said Amber.
"He's six weeks old." Said Lois.
"So that would make him six years old in dog years, right?" Said China.
"That's right." Said Lois.
"Okay, everyone, now that we've all gotton to know our new student and her dog, why don't you girls get back to your desks and think of a theme title for this year's event. You can give it to me at the end of the day." The black and white haired woman went over to her desk and sat down.
"What? A title? She needs a title? She didn't say anything about a title, this wasn't in the invitation! This wasn't anywhere! This wasn't in the invitation letter!" Lois Paniced.
"Here we go again." Moose thought to himself.
"Are you always like this?" Mia asked.
"Yep. And this is only my first day on the job." Said Lois.

~AT THE DOG GROOMERS~
Back at the dog groomers, Clark lead Max and the dogs, Rex, Lassie, Jake and Foster down the hallway and they came to a stop at a door. He had already shown his younger brother the rest of the building. Now all that was left was just this one room.
"Okay, here we are. The last room in the building." Said Clark.
"I'm so glad. It feels like we've been on this tour for hours." Said Max.
"Actually, it's only been, like, a few minutes." Said Clark.
"Well it feels like longer. What's behind this door anyway?" Said Max.
"You'll see." Said Clark. He opened the door and he and his dogs and Max entered the room.
Inside, Max saw several bags of dog food and several doggy bowels stacked on top of each other.
"What is all this?" Max asked.
"This is where we feed the dogs after they've been pampered and well taken care of. This will also be your job for the whole summer you're here with me. When the dogs have been pampered, the staff will bring them up here where you will feed them by pooring dog food into their doggy bowels." Said Clark.
"Well, that sounds easy enough. When do i start?" Max asked.
"Right now. My dogs didn't eat breakfast this morning and i need you to feed them. Rex's bowel is black, Lassie's bowel is orange, Jake's bowels is yellow and Foster's bowel is white." Said Clark.
"You're kidding me, right?" Said Max.
"No way, my dogs didn't eat anything at all this morning. I would've fed them myself, but i didn't have any dog food." Said Clark.
"Why didn't you just feed them people food?" Max asked.
"I use to do that, but i stopped and went back to giving them dog food after i learned from the vet that feeding them human food was making them gain a lot of weight that made them sick." Said Clark.
"Oh. That's...understandable, i guess." Said Max.
"Yeah. Okay, so, feed my dogs, get their doggy bowels out and make sure they drink plenty of water. And remember: Rex's bowel is black, Lassie's bowel is orange, Jake's bowel is yellow and Foster's bowel is white. You can't miss them, their names are labled on the doggy bowels. And don't forget to wash the bowels afterwards. And don't worry, the dogs don't bight." Said Clark before exiting the room and closing the door, leaving Max and the dogs behind.
"Wait! You didn't tell me where their dog bowels were!" Said Max.
Rex, Lassie, Jake and Foster then ran over four dog bowels that were stacked on top of each other. Rex picked up the black one, Lassie picked up the orange one, Jake picked up the yellow one and Foster picked up the white one. The four dogs walked up to Max and placed the dog bowels in front of him and sat down in front of the bowels.
"Uh...thanks?" Said Max. The 12 year old walked over to bag of dog food that had the opening rolled down. He unrolled the opening, picked up the bag of dog food and went back over to where the dogs were and began pooring dog food in each of their bowels.
~LATER~
Later, back in their office, the girls were all sitting at their desk trying to come up with a catchy title for this year's fashion show.
"What are we gonna do? A title for a fashion show takes time. We can't be expected to come up with a name just like that." Said Lois.
"De Vil fashions." Said China.
"De Vil style." Said Amber.
"De Vil fur." Said Mia.
"How about "lame titles De Vil?" Said Shanice.
"Um...important fashion things?" Said Lois.
"No." Said Mia.
"Big deal, it's not like anyone need it now." Said Lois.
China's phone then ringed on her desk and she answered it. "Miss De Vil's House Of De Vil fashion house. China Sparkel speaking...Hannah Montanna's manager? Please hold." The African girl placed her phone down on her desk and got up and stood in front of her cousan, Shanice. "Hannah Montanna wants me to interview her! Oh man, what am i gonna do?"
"Say yes, that's what!" Said Shanice in excitment.
China sat back down at her desk and picked the phone back up. "Sorry about the wait. I needed a moment to compose myself. First off, i would like to say what an honor this is. Of course i'll abide by any interview rules Hannah might have. And no questions about that T.V. show, got it. Or her love life or private life. And let Mia De Ville have the good desk. Can do." Realization then hit China. "Wait a second, who is this?" She turned around in her rolling chair and saw Mia smiling and laughing at her desk with her feet up as she held her phone to her ear. "So that's how it's gonna be, huh?"
"You take what's of mine, you pay the piper." Said Mia.
"Girl, do you know who you just messed with?" China asked.
"A girl who has no idea how to get me back?" Said Mia.
"Exactly." Said China.
"Nice one." Said Amber to Mia. The girls then high fived each other.

~AT FRANKSON'S DOG GROOMERS~
Meanwhile, at the dog groomers, Max was in the kitchen, fixing himself something to eat. He had already fixed himself a subway sandwitch, as he was holding a paper plate that it rested on as he reached into inside the refridgerator and got out a coke. "Now that's a sandwitch." He said before closing the refridgerator. He then placed the plate and soda on the kitchen cabnent.
Clark and his dogs, Rex, Lassie, Jake and Foster entered the kitchen and walked up to Max. "Max, i love how you fed all of the dogs and washed all of the doggy bowels. You did such a good job. Way better than any of my employees. If it were any of them, they would just now be feeding the dogs. Good job, man, i owe ya one."
"Well, don't thank me. The only reason i agreed to help you out around here is because i was board out of my mind and there's nothing to do here." Said Max.
"Oh, bored already, huh? Well, i have just the cure for that." Clark took his right hand out from around his back, revealing an old video game in his hand. "Look what i found in the attic." He handed the game to his younger brother.
"What is it, a time machine?" Max asked.
"Close. It's Dog Fury. An actual video game from the (1990's)." Said Clark.
"Man, did people even have thumbs back then?" Said Max. The 12 year old walked over to the table and sat down and started playing the game.
"Last i checked, yeah, they did." Said Clark. He walked over to the table where his brother was sitting and watched him play the video game.
"What? No way! I just lost to a video game from the 90's. That's like losing an X box game with my grandma. Who just so happens to also be in her 90's. Weird." Said Max.
Seeing that Max was too destracted by the game to pay any attention to anyone or anything else around him, Clark went over to the counter where his brother's sandwitch was and picked it up and left out of the kitchen with his four dogs without Max even noticing a thing.

A text on Lois's cellphone read "Oh, my gosh! I've come up with 10 title ideas for this years fashion show here at the House Of De Vil and turned them into Cruella De Vil for review! I'm so excitted, yet so nervious at the same time!" Mood: Excitted/Nervious.
~AT THE HOUSE OF DE VIL~
Lois sat at her desk, tapping her pin, and Moose sat on her desk while Mia was talking on her cellphone.
"I know. You flew all the way to Paris for a wedding and they won't even let you take the center piece? Tacky." Said Mia while standing by Lois's desk. She soon became earitated by the noise of Lois tapping her pin on her desk. "Let me call you back, okay?"
"Nerve racking, huh?" Said Lois.
"What is? You tapping your pin like that?" Said Mia.
"No, waiting for Cruella ro review our titles for this year's fashion show." Said Lois as she continued tapping her pin on her desk. Seeing that it was bothering Mia, she decided to stop.
"Sorry." Lois got up from her desk and Moose jumped down in the rolling chair and then onto the floor. "I don't know why i'm nervious. I gave Cruella 10 title ideas, she's bound to like one."
"You gave 10 titles? I only gave one and i thought of it this after noon. Thank goodness i printed it all up just in time for Cruella to review it." Mia said.
The doors to Cruella's office opened and she came out and walked up to Lois and Mia."I've gone over both of your ideas, and i hate saying this, but you just didn't quite have what i was looking for."
"Better luck next time." Said Lois.
"Lois." Said Cruella.
"What?!" Lois gasped.
"Don't worry. You'll get it, i know it. You simpley have to keep trying." Said Cruella. "Mia, good job, darling." The black and white haired woman then went back to her office.
"But...i had ten ideas and you only had one." Said Lois.
"What can i say? I was born to do this." Said Mia before walking off.
Lois and Moose went back over to her desk and she sat back down and tapped pin on her desk again.

~WITH LOIS AND CHINA~
"This was going to be the best day ever. Cruella was going to love all of my ideas." Said Lois as she paced the cafe floor with Moose stitting on the floor. She then sat down on a black and white fur covered sofa where China was sitting. Moose hopped up on the sofa and laid down in Lois's lap. "Later i was gonna go out to eat to cellebrate."
"Boo-hoo and hoo again. You're not the only one who's dreams have been dashed." Said China.
"Cruella rejected your title ideas too?" Lois asked.
"One of them. She loved the other one. I'm talking about the humilliation that Mia laid on me. Good thing i came up with a perfect prank of my own." Said China.
"What kind of prank?" Lois asked.
"I don't know, i haven't thought of it yet. But when i do, she'll be sorry. I wish i could see the look on Mia's face when i get her back." Said China.
"I wish i could see the look on your face when she punches you in it." Said Lois.
"She's coming. Quick, act natural." Said China before crossing her legs and looking at her nails.
Mia walked over to the sofa where Lois, Moose and China were sitting. "What's with China?"
"She's just acting natural." Said Lois.
Mia shrugged her shoulders and walked passed Lois, Moose and China.
A light bulb then went off in Mia's head. "That's it."
"What's it?" Asked Lois.
"I've come up with the perfect prank to pull on Mia. Let the games begin." Said China.

~AT THE DOG GROOMERS~
On top of the roof hang out of the dog groomers, Max was sitting on a large fountain, playing the 90's game his brother had given him hours ago. He had been playing this game none stop ever since Clark had given it to him and so far, he hadn't managed to win it.
The elevator doors opened up and Clark's dogs, Rex, Lassie, Jake and Foster stepped out onto the grassy floor. The dogs saw Max sitting over by the fountain and they walked over to the fountain where the boy was sitting and saw that he was playing the 90's game that Clark had given him. Judging by the looks of things, he seemed to be completely into it, for his blue eyes were glued to the game screen. And he was so into it, he hadn't even taken the time to look up at the dogs and acknowlage their presence.
Wanting to get Max's attention, Rex barked and howled to get his attention, to no avail.
"What do you want?" Max asked, looking up at the dogs.
Lassie then began barking at Max.
"Hey, come on, cut it out." Said Max.
Jake and Foster then started barking as well.
"Look, i said cut it out!" Said Max.
Rex then grabbed ahold of the game and held it in his mouth as he and the others ran back over to the elevator.
"Hey! Come back here!" Said Max as he ran after the dogs.
Lassie pressed the button with her right paw and the doors opened and she and the dogs entered inside the elevator.
Jake then pressed a button with the number '1' on it.
"Come on, give me that!" Said Max as he ran up to the elevator. But it was too, for the elevator doors closed on him just as he ran up to elevator. "Man, i can't believe this!" He said as he banged on the elevator doors with his fist. He then put his back against the elevator doors and sank down to the grassy floor, waiting for the elevator to come back up.

A text on Lois's cellphone read "First day at work was a total bust. First i got in trouble, then 'THE' Curella De Vil rejects all 10 of my ideas for this year's fashion show. Talk about beginner's bad luck." Mood: Upset.
~OUTSIDE THE HOUSE OF DE VIL~
Lois and Moose exited the House Of De Vil and walked down the steps and headed towards her car, Auto. Once the girl and the dog made it to her car, they were immediantly greeted by the vehicle.
"Hey, beautiful, hey cutie." Said Auto to Lois.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Said Lois in a board tone.
"Nice to see you too." Said Auto sarcasticly. He opened the driver side door automaticly and Lois picked up Moose and got inside and the door closed.
Lois sat Moose in the front passenger seat. "(Sighs) What a day."
"So...how'd it go? How was your first day on the job?" Auto asked.
"I don't wanna talk about it." Said Lois.
"Ouch. That bad, huh?" Auto said.
"You don't know the half of it." Said Lois. She then got out the car keys and put them in the ignition and activated the car and drove off.
