Disclaimer/Claimer: I own everything in this chapter. Wow, I never would've guessed that it would come t that. Oh well, Enjoy and read on!
Danielle followed the horse and carriage all the way to Main Street. Looking up at the building in front of her, she sighed and tugged her hair tighter to her head. She then pushed her way through the wooden doors, her hand sliding a bit on the smooth doors.
Once inside the building, her ears began to pound. Machines were running left and right, and things were crashing, colliding, and dropping onto one another. She watched as a small luggage trolley ran in front of her.
Taking a deep breath, she lowered her head and walked past the machinery and those who worked it. She made her way into a room labeled "Shipping office." She pushed the door open, and was relieved of the loud noises. Her ears, now slightly ringing from all the different noises clashing together, felt as though they were going to pound their way off her head.
The lady at the desk paused from her form filling and looked up at her. Her eyes scanned her entire body briefly before they resumed their original position. "You're Elle, I presume?" the lady asked, her slightly high pitched voice ringing in Danielle's ears.
Danielle nodded, and the woman motioned for her to sit down. She did as told (or, motioned in this case), and lowered herself into the middle chair in front of the desk. There were three there.
"So, you want a job in shipping?" the lady asked, her eyes never removing themselves again from the paper.
Danielle looked up from her searching. She had been looking at the office. "Yeah," she replied, tugging once more at her hair.
The lady flipped a paper over, scanned it, and laid it on the pile to the right of her desk. She then grabbed another from the pile on the left. "Well, I'm afraid that right now, in the actually shipping department, there is no space. However, I could use some help in the office." She paused a moment and circled something, signed the bottom, and flipped the paper onto the right pile. "Does that work for you?" the lady asked.
Danielle nodded her head, then, realizing the woman wasn't looking, added "yeah."
The lady stood up, walked to a small chest by the door, and unlocked it. She opened the lid, the old hinges creaking as she did so. She pulled something out, and wrapped it up in her arm. She closed the chest, locked it, and stopped by the seat Danielle sat in. "Here, these are some papers you need to fill out. Basically, it's incase something happens to you here, we can't be held responsible."
Danielle glanced at the papers. It wasn't much to fill out. However, she did see a spot for a parent signature. "Um, miss?" she asked, not sure how to address the lady that was now in front of her at the desk again. She looked up for once. "What do I do about the parent signature? My parents aren't here right now," she said, her eyes dodging momentarily around the room.
The lady sighed. "You live at a boarding house?" she asked, tapping the pencil lightly on the desk. (A/N: okay, so I don't know if they had pencils then for sure or not. But in this story, they do. Enjoy the rest!)
Danielle nodded. "Okay," the lady said. "Then get the owner to sign it. That shouldn't be a problem, should it?"
Danielle shook her head and uttered "no." She then stood up and headed for the door.
"I'll need that by lunch tomorrow," the lady said. Danielle turned back, seeing the lady focused on her work. She sighed, then nodded her head.
"Okay." With that, she exited the door, shut it behind her, and walked through the main doors and out to the street again. She, as far as she knew, was now employed.

klover: Hey thanks for the luck, it worked! I am now officially a red belt. That's only *one* away from black! wooo hooo! Anyways, I hope you enjoy the rest of this story!
Moonlight: Thanks for the review. I'm glad you love it and I hope you enjoy the rest!
Sweetness: Thanks for your review too! I'm glad that you guys are still interested. By the way, Renee's job'll be in the next chapter, and I'm gonna keep doing things that way, by going every three chapters for the different jobs. Well, I hope you enjoy the rest!
Again, I'm really glad for all the reviews I've been getting. I'm really glad that you all like the story. I'll be sure to update as soon as I can. Enjoy the rest!
Side note: *sniffle* the one 8 key that is used for the funky things I usually do is broken, so I can no longer make those thingys. Thus the new things seen now.
