It was early in the morning at the Electronics Etc. Droids were patrolling
around, waiting for the workers to come in.
A short little guy walked up, digging in his pockets for his employee ID card. He unlocked the doors to the place with his key, and walked up to the little wooden gate (not a GATE gate) that was closed when Electronics Etc. was open. He held out his ID card with a smile. "Hello," he said.
"Hello, Mr. Frodo Baggins," the droid said in its electronic voice, unlocking and opening the gate. Frodo walked over to his working station, and his typewriter. "You are the first here again."
An old guy in a black leather jacket over something like a white dress walked in, up to the gate, & held out his ID card. An anime sweat drop appeared on the droid. "Greyhame... Why are you wearing a leather jacket?"
"Picked it up in Valinor after I died," grinned Gandalf. "Had to hide it though..."
The droid sighed and opened the gate. Gandalf walked over to his station. The droid checked the clock. Half an hour till opening.
Some anime people with weird hair all walked in and were admitted (Yu-Gi- Oh ^-^*). A little while later, a man with a sword, walked in and up to the gate. "Hi," he grinned.
"Aragorn," the droid said. "ID card, if you please."
Aragorn's grin faded slightly. "ID? Oh, of course. ID." He began rummaging around in his various pockets, pulling them out and shaking them. "It's gotta be somewhere..."
"And your sword..." The droid said.
"I never leave home without it," the Ranger said, digging his hand deep into a pocket and pulling out an old Cream Saver. "Good thing I didn't today-nasty orc guy on the road today. Got out of his car to kill me! Something about killing his brother. Well, I took care of him. Pip and Merry cheering me on from the car... Then I had to take the little guys to their daycare... I'm later than usual." He finally pulled out his ID card and triumphantly held it out to the droid. It let him in. Aragorn took his station and immediately booted up his computer and checked his e-mail for anything from Arwen.
Another short guy walked up to the droid and held out his ID card. "Is Mr. Frodo here?" he asked.
"Samwise Gamgee, he is always here before you," the droid said, letting Sam in.
"Hello Mr. Frodo," Sam waved on the way to his workplace.
"Hi Sam."
Next floated in Boromir's ghost. "Where is your brother?" the droid asked.
"Oh," Boromir said. "Dad asked him to check Ithilien one more time. Make sure he cleaned up all the evil little orc-y guys. Can I come in?" he asked, flashing his ghosty ID.
"Sure," the droid said. Boromir floated to his workstation. He grinned at Frodo, who hid. "Hey!" Sam cried, jumping the ghost, who he went through. "No fair!!" "CHILDREN!" Aragorn and Gandalf chorused. "Sorry daddy," Sam and Boromir said, then went off chatting like buddies.
Faramir finally ran in, ID in hand. He stopped by a water fountain, then ran to the gate. "Quick, lemme in!" he panted. "Dad's gone crazy! He's going to the Gondor Eagles vs. Mordor Mountains basketball game in his bathrobe! Can I change my name? ID?"
"N. O." the droid sighed.
"NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" cried Faramir as the droid let him in. "I'll never show my face again......"
"Is Arwen coming in today?" Aragorn asked.
"Elrond made her quit the job. He took her place," Gandalf said. Aragorn pouted, especially when the Lord of Rivendell came sashaying in, wearing dark sunglasses and held his ID card out to the droid. "Come in, Mr. Elrond," it said.
" * Agent * Elrond, you mean," the Elf grinned, and sashayed to his workstation. Aragorn gave him a dark look.
Next came Eowyn. She stomped over to the gate and thrust her ID card at the droid. "What is wrong with you?" asked the droid.
"I'm going to kill Eomer," she snapped as the gate opened and she stomped to her station, stopping for a second to flash a drop-dead-gorgeous smile at Aragorn. He smiled back, & she completely ignored poor Faramir, who struck his patented Handsome Pose for him. "Poor Faramir," Aragorn muttered. "Poor Eowyn. Completely oblivious to the amount of attention Faramir's giving her."
Next Eomer came in, looking like he should be dead. "You look horrible!" Aragorn called. "Did Eowyn do all that?"
"Yup," Eomer said, showing the droid his ID card and limping to his workplace. :She threatened to use Uncle's sword on me, but he came in in the nick of time and told her not to use it; it needed to be cleaned or something..." He went back to his workplace. Seconds later crashing and smashing and yelping could be heard.
Next Gimli came in. "Where's Legolas?" Aragorn asked him, twirling around on his chair and getting dizzy.
"Guess," Gimli said.
"We will be opening soon," the droid's electronic voice suddenly rang out. He glanced at Legolas' empty workstation. "Where is Legolas Greenleaf?"
Suddenly the front doors BURST open and in came Legolas, hair shining. He stared at his reflection in the doors and patted his hair down. Then he took out his ID card and walked over to the droid at the solid wooden gate wearing a picture perfect smile. "Hello," he said.
"Late AGAIN," the droid said.
"I was at the hairdressers!" the Elf protested. "Took FOREVER... I just hope it didn't get messed up. A little windy outside, you know... But do you like my new braids? Yes, I know they're the same style, but they're NEATER. And look, look-different ponytail holders. The OUCHLESS kind. But of course the hairdresser just talked FOREVER. Do you like its shine? Its body? It's nice and full of body now, don't you agree?"
The droid, now with an anime sweat drop the size of Canada, let Legolas in. He walked to his workplace, whicxh was next to Aragorn's, careful not to ruin his hair.
Then, the place opened.
...
OK, so Legolas had enough time to file his nails. The truth was, Electronics Etc. was a small business and just starting. Not many people came there. And when they did, they had to stop by the door to get the pamphlets that would be filled out when they went over to the counters (where Leggy and Ary worked) when they told the employees what electronics they wanted. The info was then filled out on the pamphlet after the pamphlet had been stamped on all pages & then the info was entered into the computer. Whichever employee it was, Leggy or Ary, then told the customer how long it would take for the electronic to be delivered. The other employees, like Yugi and Gandalf and the rest, were kept busy with their own special jobs-Frodo worked on the typewriter making flyers for Electronics Etc. that Sam scanned and printed out in mass quantities. Yugi and his pals worked on the website, each assigned to his or hers own part of the page to keep up.
Employees like Gimli had the job of packing and delivering the electronics. Only the quote-on-quote "strong employees" were assigned to do this, since only once in a while were any of the electronics being delivered very small. The others kept track of inventory and how much of what had to be ordered. Needless to say, they were very busy, though they didn't get many customers. Gave Ary enough time to check his e-mail for any love notes from Arwen and gave Leggy enough time to file his nails and trade jokes with Gimli.
Their day had only just begun...
A/N: sorry to any leggy fans I've made upset! Very sorry!
