A/N: Ok, I'm now updating. It take me forever to update this one, but I try...Well, kind of. Well, enjoy this!
Oh, and as a P.S. note for those of you who don't know who the persocom Yumi is, she is the wife of Manager Ueda. She was hit by a car though and broke. Yumi, the human, is in love with Manager Ueda, but was devastated when she found out about his deceased wife being a persocom with her name. Manager Ueda confessed his love to Yumi and she didn't worry about his wife after that. Yui, is a model that looks exactly like Manager Ueda's deceased wife, so that should bring some drama.
Disclaimer: I don't own this, so you can't sue me! Ha, ha, ha, ha! Don't you feel bad now?
Chapter 4-Yumi and Yui Meet
The next morning Yui and Chi walked off to work together in silence. Chi still couldn't think of anything to talk about with Yui, and Yui never said a word to Chi. Today Manager Ueda was supposed to bring in a uniform for Yui to wear. This would be the first real day of work.
They arrived at the entrance to Chiroru's Bakery and opened the door signaling the bell above it to chime merrily. Manager Ueda looked up at the two persocoms from the counter and smiled as best he could. Seeing Yui jerked his heart a bit.
"Morning Chi, Yui," He said.
"Morning Manager!" Chi said brightly. "Chi will get to work right away!"
After saying that Chi ran into the employees only door to get dressed. Yui stood in the doorway starring at Manager Ueda. He felt a little uncomfortable having her stare at him with those eyes.
"Well, Yui, I made that uniform for you," Manager Ueda said.
"Uniform, that is what I will wear when I'm working," Yui said.
"Yes, It's in the back where Chi went. You'll see it sitting on the chair by the door. So go get dressed and come back out here, and I'll tell you what you need to do."
"Ok, I'll go get dressed," Yui said walking to the door.
She opened the door and found the chair with her uniform on it. It resembled Chi's uniform, except it had a cute little hat and the sleeves were puffy at the top, with longer parts extending to her wrists. Yui walked out into the shop and tapped Manager Ueda on the shoulder. He turned to face her.
"I'm dressed now, what next?" Yui asked.
"Well, I need you to go by the door, open it when customers come, and greet them as they come in, for right now," Manager Ueda pointed over to the door.
Yui nodded and walked to where he pointed. "Here?"
"Yes, and say something like 'Welcome to Chiroru' or simply 'Hello, welcome'."
"Ok," Yui stood by the door and smiled.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Yumi walked down the street whistling happily. Today she decided that she was going to buy something at Chiroru Bakery. She also wanted to see Manager Ueda, and maybe help around, if only a little. She walked over to the front of the bakery and starred at the persocom opening the door for her.
"Welcome to Chiroru Bakery!" the persocom said with a smile.
Yumi continued to stare at the familiar persocom in front of her. She knew that persocom, it was the same model she saw in the wedding video of Manager Ueda. Questions began to fill her head. 'Why does Manager Ueda have this persocom working here? Did he buy it? Why does it look like the one he once owned?'
Yumi's eyes began to fill with tears, but she tried to hold them back. She didn't want to cry over this, but why did Manager Ueda get this persocom to work here? She backed away from the smiling persocom and ran off.
Yui watched as Yumi ran away from her confused.
"Chi?" Yui asked.
Chi looked over at Yui.
"Why did that girl run away? Did I scare her?" Yui looked at Chi hoping for an answer.
"Chi doesn't know."
"Oh," Yui shut the door and backed away a little bit.
Manager Ueda stepped out from the Employees Only door. "I thought I heard you open the door, did somebody come here?"
"Yes, but she ran off. I think I scared her away." Yui said.
"You didn't scare her Yui, she probably just forgot something," Manager Ueda said placing his hand on her shoulder.
Yui smiled up him, and her nervously looked away. "Well, Hideki should be coming soon, so you two should get dressed."
"Hideki! Hideki!" Chi ran into the Employees Only door to get her normal clothes on, and Yui walked in behind her.
As if on cue, Hideki came in through the doors. "Hello!"
Manager Ueda turned to him and smiled, "Hello Hideki, Chi and Yui just went to change, they should be out soon."
"Great," Hideki said.
Within minutes Chi and Yui were dressed and ready to go. Chi ran out of the doors and tackled Hideki, while Yui just walked over.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Manager Ueda ran into the backroom, then came out with two envelopes in his hands. "Here's your paychecks." He handed one to Chi and one to Yui. "Have a nice day!" He waved as the three of them walked out and around the corner.
"What do I do with this?" Yui asked holding up her envelope.
"That's your paycheck, it has money in it. Buy whatever you want with it," Hideki said.
Yui walked quietly for a second computing in her head what to do. "Hideki should take this money!" Yui said handing the envelope to him.
"What? No, no! I can't take this, it's your money, you buy what you want do what you want with it."
"I want you to have this money, you need it," Yui said.
This went on for the whole walk to the apartment. Hideki finally gave in and took the money from Yui. Yui was happy with her small victory. Hideki fumbled with the keys to the apartment for a second, then found the right one and opened the door. Immediately Hideki was tackled by Plum.
"Welcome home!" she sang.
Hideki pulled Plum off his face and carried her into the house. Chi went and sat down and starred at her envelope. She didn't want to keep hers when Yui gave hers to Hideki. She got up and walked over to Hideki, who was throwing his bookbag on the ground and reclining on the floor. Chi hovered over him until he said something.
"Chi? What is it?"
"Chi wants Hideki to have her money," She said putting the envelope on Hideki's stomach.
"No Chi, we had this talk already," Hideki said sitting up. "I want you to keep this money and buy something you want."
"But Chi doesn't want to keep hers when Yui gave hers up to Hideki," Chi said.
"Don't worry about that, I didn't want hers either, I'm going to find some way to give it back to her."
"But-"
"No," Hideki put a finger, "I don't want to take it, please keep it Chi."
Defeated, Chi took back the envelope. She then decided that with her money she was going to buy something really great for Hideki. She would buy something that Yui could not.
