[Meryl's thoughts] Millie's thoughts
The Long Nights Wait
Part 6
Meryl walked down the dusty street. No one was awake yet, but she knew that soon the streets would be busy and filled with the people who she had yet to come to know.
[Millie works, I work, Mr. Wolfwood isn't here any longer, and Vash…no one knows where he is.]
Meryl crossed the street to the bar. [Here goes another day of work.]
Meryl stopped at the door and took in a deep breath. [Help me.]
Meryl entered the bar. She pulled her apron around herself and tied the strings into a bow. [Maybe it'll be today…]
"Hey Meryl." A short stout lady, with an extreme hick accent, walked out from the kitchen. "We gots lots of dishes for you to warsh this morning." The lady, her boss, pointed to an over crowded sink of nasty dirty dishes. "Now, I 'spect all those there dishes to be done before the first five customers leave."
"Yes ma'am" Meryl said as she walked to the sink. [I don't see why the people here last night couldn't have done it themselves.] Meryl walked past her boss and mumbled something under breath as she passed.
"What was that you were saying MISS MERYL?" her boss put her hands one her hips "If you want to KEEP your JOB, then I suggest that you not gripe and be complainin' over your duties."
Meryl looked down at the sink. "Nothing ma'am. Yes ma'am" [Stupid woman just wait till I quit and leave this waste of a town. You just wait and see!] Meryl grinned evilly as she filled the sink full of soapy water.
Millie walked out the front door and locked it behind her. She put her hat on her head. Can't forget to stop by the store today and get more pudding!
Millie walked down the street to the town entrance. Her construction crew was going to redo the town's sign. Millie hummed as she strolled down the busying streets. She waved to the people she passed and said hello to the children she met.
What a great day. I just know something good is going to happen today.
Since Millie passed the bar where Meryl worked she decided to stop by and tell Meryl that she was going to buy more groceries on her way home from work.
Millie walked into the bar. The short stout lady ran to her and greeted her.
"HI! How can we be help today? Where will you be sittin' at a seat or a table?" The lady pointed to the areas that she suggested to Millie.
Millie looked down at the lady. "I'm not here to stop, I just need to talk to my friend."
The lady's face turned into a frown. "And who is this there friend of yours?"
Millie smiled and said, "Meryl Stryfe." The lady's shoulders slouched and her eyes began to twitch.
"I'm sorry but your 'FRIEND' is to busy to be seein' any people at this moment." The lady smiled at her, she thought, victory.
"Why can't I speak to her for even a moment? It's very important, it's about someone in her family, you see they are sick and Meryl was very close to this person." Hehehe…This'll get me to be able to talk to Meryl.
"Oh, well why didn't you say somethin' before you said anything." The lady suddenly had of change of heart. "I'll get Meryl for ya'. You just stay put right there. Now don't you be going nowhere."
Millie smiled and nodded. "Yes ma'am."
Meryl's boss walked back to where she was washing the dishes. "Meryl."
Meryl looked up the slowly sinking stack of dishes. "Yes ma'am?" Meryl tried to say as politely as she could. [Now what does this moron of a woman want? Has she come to give me something else nastier than this?]
Her boss came and laid a hand on Meryl's shoulder. Meryl looked a little shocked at this gesture. "Meryl dear, someone is here to see you."
Meryl raised an eyebrow. "Who is it?"
The boss looked down at the ground. "A friend of yours she has some" she paused and swallowed. "Bad news about a friend of yours."
Meryl gasped [Vash! No it can't be! He can't be! Dammit! He can't be dead! It's impossible! No one could kill him! Why?! Why did this have to happen?!] Meryl's eyes filled with tears at the thoughts. "May I go and speak with her now?" Meryl wiped at her damp eyes.
"Yes, of course. Hurry along."
Meryl ran to the dining area of the bar. Millie stood smiling staring at the ceiling. "Millie?"
Millie looked at Meryl and smiled. "Hi Senpai!"
Meryl looked at Millie. "What wrong? What happened? Does it have to do with Vash?" Millie smiled and shook her head.
"No, you see that lady wouldn't let me talk to you so I had to tell her something so that I could talk to you. You see I was cleaning up this morning and noticed that we needed more groceries, so I thought I'd come by before work and tell you that after I get off of work, I'd go and get the groceries we need." Millie smiled at Meryl, whose vein was beginning to stick out and throb.
"Millie…" Meryl glared at her. "You mean to tell me you had me all worked up over a little thing such as GROCERIES?!" Millie tried to hush Meryl.
"Meryl! Quiet down, do you want your boss to hear the real reason why I pulled you away from your job?" [Millie's right, but she'll get it when I go home.] Millie smiled at Meryl.
"Millie, that's fine. You do that, I have a feeling that I will be late tonight." Meryl turned to go back to her dishes. "Hurry up before you're late for work."
Millie smiled and nodded. She ran out the doors and scurried off the down the streets. Meryl shook her head and walked back to the dishes. Her boss walked up to her and said, "How are you dear?"
Meryl looked at her "Fine. Oh and the person my friend was talking about is okay too."
Her boss smiled then replied. "Good. Now get to work. There's plenty left to do."
Meryl rolled her eyes and went back to washing her dishes. [Stupid woman.]
Millie ran to the town entrance only stopping to tie a small child's shoelaces.
"Here she comes!" A large chunky man said in the middle a large crowd of construction workers. "We didn't think you were comin'!"
Millie ran up to them and smiled. "I had to tell my friend that we needed more pudding. Sorry I'm late boss!"
The big man laughed at her reason for being late. He also knew not to question her strange excuses, after all she had been one of the people to follow Vash the Stampede across the freaking desert for a while.
"Listen up fell…people." He glanced at Millie who smiled and gave her full attention to the boss. "Are goal for today is to remodel the sign!" He pointed to Millie. "You are in charge of the demolition crew. After the demolition you and your crew are to quickly clean up any large pieces of debris."
Millie saluted her boss. "Yes sir! I can handle that!" Millie marched off to the supply tent.
"Millie! Wait! You're forgetting your crew!" Millie stopped in her tracks. "You are to take four people to assist in the demolition." Millie walked back to her boss.
"Well who is going to help me?" Millie looked innocently around the crowd.
The big burly man pointed to four men who were to busy chattering in their own little group to realize what their jobs were. "You four over there! You are to assist Millie! She will be your group leader! You are to follow her instructions! AND IF I find out you four gave her any LIP! Then you four will be put on Thomas clean up! Do I make myself clear?!"
The men nodded and swallowed. They glanced at each other and gave each other a sly look.
Millie took off towards the supply tent and the four men followed.
"OKAY GUYS! I'll get the stuff you four mark the areas." Millie walked into the tent.
"Okay guys lets make this hard for the girl. Show her that she can't tell us what to do." A small lanky guy pointed at the tent where Millie occupied.
"But sir, what if she tells the boss we messed things up for her and we got Thomas duty?" A larger man about the height of Millie, only he was very thin and sickly looking.
"Oh she ain't gonna go tell the boss! She's a moron for kripies-sake." The third man a short stout man with light brown hair pointed to his head. "She ain't all there either."
Millie walked out of the tent a large box, shovels, pick-axes, dynamite, fuses, and fuses in her arms. The men's mouth hit the ground as they watched Millie exit the tent and close the flap behind her. "Ok guys! Let's get to work!"
Meryl finished her dishes and the customers now were coming in for their daily breakfasts. Meryl's boss came strolling over with a large stack of menus and a few writing pads. "Oh Miss Meryl! I have here another job for you to be doin' fer me."
Meryl rolled her eyes [What other type of disgusting job does she have planned for me now. Maybe I'll get to wash the floor while people are here. Wouldn't that be so much fun? Someone save me or even spare me from the insanity!] Meryl sucked it up and asked. "What can I do for you now ma'am?"
Her boss handed her the pile in her hands. "Here, now you go and serve them there customers. I ain't got no other help comin' in today, so that means you'll be havin' to serve those hungry people."
Meryl forced a smile. "Yes ma'am." [Cheap woman, won't hire no more people. And she's too lazy to be doing any work herself! ARG!] Meryl took the menus and headed to the multitude growing in the dining area.
A large man with black hair waved Meryl over. "Hello, how may I help you?" Meryl forced another smile.
The large man smiled, "Yes you can help me."
Meryl stared at him in horror as his face turned into an evil grin. [Oh shit. Why me?]
To be continued…
This one sucked…Except for the part where Millie thought that thought about Meryl's boss…I can actually see her doing that…Maybe it's just me. I really hope part 7 is WAY better than this…but I think this is going to end at part 10 b/c this is really hard…I need a donut…
