write it! Me, Sam! Please enjoy!
~*Chapter 15- Wall-Mart*~
~*Legolas*~
Liz and Tracy decided that the first place we would go would be to Wall- Mart, to get Aragorn and I jobs. They said something about having to pass an 'interview' to get the job. When I asked that that was, Tracy said it was just them asking us questions, to see if we qualified for a job there.
"So, we have to deserve to work there?" Aragorn asked.
"No, you have to have enough experience to get the job," Liz explained.
"But, we have no experience," I commented.
"Well, you'll just have to reword what you did in Middle Earth," Tracy started to explain. "Legolas, you say you were in the army since you turned 18. Aragorn, you say you didn't go to college so that you could see the world. Got it?"
"But, that's lying," I protested.
"No, it's stretching the truth. There's nothing wrong with that."
"No, it's lying and I won't do it."
"Legolas, look, in America, we stretch the truth, we just do. Besides, if you went in and said you were the prince of Mirkwood and head of the army, they'd ask you to leave right away. So, I recommend saying what I said. It's ok, it's not lying, and it's telling what you did in Middle Earth, in a way that they'll understand here. Ok?"
"All right I guess."
"Aragorn?" Liz asked.
"I will as well."
"Great, thank you guys."
"Do I get a kiss for that?" Aragorn asked with a mischievous smile on his face.
"I guess so," Liz said. Aragorn leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Do I get one too?" I asked Tracy.
"Well, I don't know," she said with mock anger. "You were accusing me of lying. I don't know if I still want to be with someone who thinks I'm a liar."
"Oh, fine," I said, also faking anger. "You're not a liar. Do I get a kiss now?"
Tracy laughed. "Of course." She leaned over and kissed me tenderly on the lips, letting me savor the moment.
"Happy now?" she asked me.
"I guess. Could have been better."
"Excuse me?"
"Yes, could have been much better."
"All right, Mr. Expert, how could it have been better?"
"Like this," I whispered, leaning over to her and kissing her passionately.
"Oh, get a room," Liz joked. "Wait, do it later, here's our stop."
We walked off the bus and into a large building with 'Wall-Mart' on the front. When we entered, there were many people, pushing metal baskets on wheels around, looking at clothing, and at the selection of foods that would have fed my people for a week. We walked close to a desk that said 'Customer Services.'
"Alright," said Liz, "Go up to that desk, say your names are Luke Johnson and Andrew Edwards and that you want jobs. Ok? Tracy and I will be looking at some clothes. We'll meet you here in an hour."
"All right," said Aragorn.
"Good luck," the girls said in unison.
We walked up to the end of the line and waited to talk to the woman behind the counter.
"Hello! Welcome to Wall-Mart. My name's Cindy. How may I help you today?"
"My name's Andrew Edwards, and this is my friend Luke Johnson. We would like to obtain jobs here. Can you help us?"
"Oh, yes. If you would just go to that door over there marked 'employee's only', you may be seated in the chairs, and someone will be right with you."
"Thank you, Cindy," I said. Aragorn and I did as Cindy had instructed us. As soon as we sat down, another person came up to us. I now noticed the blue vests these people were wearing. What strange attire.
"Hello! My name is Mark. How may I help you?"
"Cindy told us you could help us get jobs," Aragorn said.
"Oh, great! Will you please fill out these forms, and we'll give you an interview when your done."
"Thank you, Mark," Aragorn said.
The forms were very basic. Name, phone number and address (we gave Liz and Tracy's) age (I lied) and place of last employment. We finished in about fifteen minutes. Mark came back, looked over our forms, and asked Aragorn to come into a back room with him.
Aragorn stood up and followed Mark into the room. He closed the door behind him, and the interview began. Twenty minutes later, Aragorn came out with a happy smile on his face. I guessed he got the job.
"Luke, it's time for your interview now. Come on in."
I went into the room Aragorn had just exited, and had my first ever job interview.
