Chapter 2
"Mrs. Hawkins, my juice!" Mrs. Dunwitty yelled, just like every morning.
"Jim could you get Mrs. Dunwitty her juice?" Sarah Hawkins asked around the pile of dishes.
"Sure mom." Jim said as he ran to the kitchen. There he found Kristina sitting on a stool eating a purp. Her blond hair was tied back into a ponytail, and she had a lain dress on.
"Hi, can I help in anyway?"
"Yeah, you could probably take orders. We could use all the help we can get. Do we have to pay you?" Jim asked nervously.
"Of course not! I'll work for free!" Kristina answered, grabbing a pad and pen. She walked out of the kitchen and took the person who was yelling the loudest's order. Mrs. Hawkins came into the room and asked Jim who the new girl was.
"She's one of our guests, but she insists on working for free. She came in last night, her name's Kristina Anderson." Jim answered starring at how fast she took the guests orders.
"Really? Where is she from?" Sarah asked.
"I don't know, I didn't ask." Jim answered, "How about we ask her later tonight, she seems to have her hands full."
"All right, just remind me later." Mrs. Hawkins told him as she cooked the guest's orders.
"Okay, I better get back to washing the dishes."
The rest of the day went smoothly with Kristina taking orders, Mrs. Hawkins cooking and Jim washing dishes. When it was time to close up, everyone left with reluctance. All of the guests commented on Kristina's professionalism and great personality.
"Well Kristina I think that you should work for us full time. From the comments I'm getting from the guests, we could use someone like you." Mrs. Hawkins told her as they cleaned up.
"Thank you Mrs. Hawkins. This is nothing compared to the job that I used to have on Earth."
"So, you're from Earth! My husband was from Earth." Mrs. Hawkins said sadly.
"He was?" Jim asked astonished.
"Yeah, from a place called Germany I think."
"Really? I'm from a country called America." Kristina told them. "But I studied in Germany for awhile."
"How did you get here? Earth is millions of light years away."
"I have to go get ready for bed, it was nice talking to you Mrs. Hawkins." Kristina said quickly.
Once she left Jim and Sarah started to talk. "I think that she was avoiding that subject. I wonder how she got here." Sarah told Jim.
"I agree, how did dad get here anyway?" Jim asked.
"I'm not sure, he never told me."
"Well I think I'm going to go to bed. It's been a long time." Jim said as he stretched and kissed his mother on the cheek.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jim woke up later than he usually would. He walked into the kitchen to find a dark haired girl taking peoples orders, while Kristina was washing dishes. He walked up next to her and started to take a dish out of her hands.
"I can do this Jim, you can go help your mom take orders and I will wash the dishes."
"No I can handle it. Just go back to giving orders the people love you."
"Really? Was that a compliment?"
"Maybe." Jim started to splash her with the water in the sink.
"Oh you wanna play it that way. You are going down!" Kristina filled a cup and dumped it over Jim's head.
"You wanna bet!" Jim answered as her grabbed the hose and sprayed it at her. Kristina shrieked and crouched down behind the counter trying to flee from the oncoming water.
