Chapter 1: ...and so it begins...

"Well, I'll clean up and you should probably get dressed into something that

doesn't make you look like a slut-"

"Hey!" Kairi interupted "I do not look like a slut!"

"Whore, bimbo, hooker, whatever you want to call it, just change into something

more appropriate before we go to our job interviews, ok?"

"I DON'T look li-wait...where are we going, again?"

"The interviews, remember? The ones we've been waiting for all month since we

don't have any more money to pay rent with!"

"Oh...those...can they wait?" Kairi absentmindedly asked.

"NO! We have to get these jobs or we get kicked out of the dorm, have to

wander around looking for a place to stay, get soaked by rain and possibly run over

by cars, sleep at a sleazy motel where we are kidnapped and sold off at an auction

as maids and end up getting felt up by some rich, 70 year old pervert with AIDS!"

"OK, already! God...*sigh* Fine...I'll go change"

"Yay!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait" Selphie squealed.

Kairi made her way back to her room, daintily stepping over the garments and

undergarments that litterd the floor like rocks in a streambed. After rummaging

through her closet for a few minutes, she finally found the nice sundress she had

been saving for formal occasions such as this one. It was an exquisite piece of

clothing, tight enough to show off herrather developed assets, yet not too much so

to make her look slutty.

"Ah...perfect!" she commented as she slipped the dress on. She went to the

mirror on her dresser and started putting her hair up in a bun, so she would look

more like a dignifiedlady applying for a job, rather than some washed up teenager

who needed some cash since she spent all of hers on beer and fancy clothes, which

happened to describe Kairi perfectly at this point. As she rummaged through her

drawers for a scrunchie, she reflected on the repeating dream that had just changed.

What does it mean? she asked herself. Why do I keep having it? and who is

the man that's hold her from behind? These questions kept swirling around in her

head, jumbling together, making her even more and more confused. Finally, she

couldn't take it any longer and let out a frustrated scream.

"Everything Ok in there?"

"Yeah, fine...just fine"

"Then hurry up, we don't have all day here! We have to be on the road in 15

minutes. Start hustling!"

"Alright."

Finally, Kairi finished her hair and walked to her door, stopping only to grab

her purse from the back of a chair as she went, and left her room a completely

different person than when she went in.

"Ok, let's go!"

"Wow, you look fabulous! I love what you did to your hair!"

"Whatever" Kairi replied, yet inside she was beaming cause she knew that,

indeed, she did look good. Good as in beautiful. Good as in drop dead gorgeous.

Good as in...well, you get the idea.

"So, it says here that you're good with people, and that you enjoy working as

part of a larger group. Good. That's exactly the kind of attitude we're looking for

in this type of business. In fact, since we are in severe need of more employees at

this time, and that you seem to be the only viable candidate for this position, you're

hired! You start tommorow and your seniors there will help you get started. Welcome

to you're new postion at Burger Queen."

"Thank you for hiring me. You won't regret this."

(sorry, I had writers block)

"I'm sorry but you're just not what we're looking for to fill this spot. We

need someone with more enthusiasm about their job. However, since you seem to be a

rather nice person overall, I'll contact you if any other positions open up, Ok?"

"But you don't understand. I need a job. If I don't get one soon, I won't be

ableto keep up with the rent for my dorm. You understand, don't you?"

"Yes, your predicament is well recognized, but we just can't hire you. Besides

your lack of motivation, you have had no previous encounters whatsoever in this field

of work, and your inexperience could be hazardous to you or others which is simply

unacceptable."

"But I can learn, I'm sure my co-workers can help me out, let me get the hang

of things, right?"

"They all have important duties to fulfill, they can't waste time preparing a

newbie like you, and besides, there are much more qualified applicants all vying for

this position, ones that HAVE had prior knowledge of the requirements for this kind

of job, and skills that are essential for what they do."

"Please, I NEED this job! I swear, I can make sure that you won't have any

regrets hiring me. There can't possibly be anyone who is in more dire need of this

gig than me."

"One of the applicants is a mother trying to raise enough money for her

daughters heart surgery. Are you saying that your rent payment is more important

than this girl's life?"

"Well...No, but-"

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."



"Just-"

"No, and thats final."

*Doris, please tell Miss Heartilly that I can see her now.*

*Yes, Mr. Almasy.*

*Thank you, Doris.*

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have another interview to get through. I believe

you've wasted enough of my time. I trust that you'll show yourself the way out."

Kairi left right then, walking out the door a completely different person then when

she went in.
